Edo Castle consolation envoy yamen, flower hall.

A three-foot-square metal box was placed on the table.

"Mr. Toyotomi, this is what I promised you, let's check it."

Liu Dian smiled and pushed the box in front of Toyotomi Yuanjiang.

Toyotomi Yuanjiang raised his hand to caress the fine and delicate gold wire lines on the box, and his fingertips repeatedly rubbed the two small characters 'Liutao' engraved on the corner, and the expression on his face was quite complicated.

Sanchuan Heavy Industry, which has worked hard for decades, only got such a mechanical heart in the end, but he still has to be grateful to others.

There is no greater irony than this.

Liu Dian took in the changes in the expression on the other party's face, but he didn't think so.

If it weren't for the strict orders issued by the clan, I am afraid that I would not even give this weapon heart to Toyotomi Yuanjiang.

After all, Sanchuan Heavy Industries has already arrived, and the Toyotomi family is worthless, even if he eats this rare superlative human heart within the Liutao Group, the other party has nothing to do.

A person who would give up his family business in order to avenge an outsider is simply stupid.

"By the way, there's one more thing."

Liu Dian suddenly smiled and said: "The noble son Toyotomi Xiuluan is a good talent, the ancestor appreciates him very much, so he intends to leave him in Jinling to serve the Liu family, I don't know if Mr. Toyotomi can cut his love?" ”

"It is his blessing to be valued by the Liu family."

Toyotomi Yuanjiang's expression was solemn, and he got up and arched his hand: "I replace Toyotomi Xiuluan, thank you very much." ”

"You're welcome, it's his own creation, and it has nothing to do with me."

Liu Dian hurriedly got up and sat down with Toyotomi Yuanjiang's elbow in his arms.

"Old gentleman, do you really want to give up everything for the sake of the 'righteousness' in your heart?"

"Tokugawa Hiroshi is innocent."

Toyotomi Yuanjiang said in a deep voice: "For so many years, I have always regarded him as a teacher, and Sanchuan Heavy Industry has been able to develop to its current scale, and it also depends on his support. Now that he has died unjustly, if I choose to stand idly by, will I not become a ruthless and unrighteous despicable person? ”

"Mr. Yi Bo Yuntian, Liu Dian is ashamed of himself."

Liu Dian said: "It's just a pity that the three generations of the Toyotomi family have worked hard." Don't hide it from you, sir, although the ancestor made it clear that he was only in charge of the Toyotomi family's property, and he would return it all after Su Ce's madman subdued the law, but these are just words to avoid being talked about, and you should know it well, sir. ”

As soon as Liu Dian's words came out, a trace of surprise suddenly flashed in Toyotomi Yuanjiang's eyes.

Of course, he knew that it was impossible for the Liu family to return Sanchuan Heavy Industries to the Toyotomi family, but now Liu Dian broke this layer of window paper in front of him, which really surprised him.

Toyotomi Yuanjiang's mind changed sharply for a while, and after pondering for a long time, he vaguely understood the meaning of the other party, and immediately smiled bitterly: "Without enough strength, wealth can only be the source of disaster." It was a coincidence that the Toyotomi family was able to take charge of Mikawa Heavy Industries, and it was also our blessing that the Liu family was able to take over. ”

"Sir, did you misunderstand, I'm not coercing you to dedicate Sanchuan Heavy Industry to the Liu family."

Liu Dian sighed: "I'm just worried, after the absence of Sanchuan Heavy Industry, how will the Toyotomi family gain a foothold in the Wa District?" ”

Toyotomi Yuanjiang's heart was shocked, and he suddenly realized.

"The Toyotomi family has been able to grow Mikawa Heavy Industries to the point where it is today, and all the children within it must be outstanding talents. But you and I all know that after the implementation of the new policy, the upward channel of the Japanese people will completely fall into the hands of Confucianism. Without the help of the Confucian preface, no matter what kind of talent you are, you can only end up in a dusty end. ”

Liu Dian asked softly: "Are you willing to watch the Toyotomi family decline like this, sir?" ”

"Me"

Toyotomi Enjiang's expression was unusually tangled.

Liu Dian's calculations in his heart, he knew it clearly.

It's nothing more than peeling the skin and removing the bones, and eating the entire Toyotomi family in one bite.

As for why Liu Dian did this, Toyotomi Yuanjiang also guessed eight or nine.

Sanchuan Heavy Industry was sold to the entire Liu family gate, not to him Liu Dian personally. Although this transaction is Liu Dian in the middle, with the rules of Confucianism, most of the benefits will not fall into his hands.

But if he could bring the Toyotomi family under his command, the situation would be completely different.

After all, the current core backbone of Mikawa Heavy Industries is almost all from the Toyotomi family.

Even if Liu wants to change the management personnel afterwards, under the current circumstances, he will definitely not be able to find a suitable replacement for a while.

And this little time difference is enough for Liu Dian to eat a lot of money from it.

Even if he operates properly in the Liu family, he can get the right to operate Sanchuan Heavy Industry and only give the family dividends.

As long as the management right is in hand, is the profit or loss just a sentence from his Liu Dian?

As for the Toyotomi family, they will be completely bound to Liu Dian from now on and participate in the more vicious struggle within the gate valve.

One carelessness is the result of the extinction of the human race.

But it is clear that Toyotomi Yuanjiang found that he had no room to refuse at all.

As long as he dares to say a 'no', Liu Dian, who is now about to be promoted to the envoy of Edo Castle, has 10,000 ways to kill the children of the Toyotomi family.

"I've been worrying about it."

Toyotomi Yuanjiang forced a smile and said: "So I came to see you this time, and I have a reluctant invitation." ”

"Please."

"I hope that in the future, you will be able to shelter the Toyotomi family."

Liu Dian smiled: "I thought it was something, sir, have you forgotten that the Toyotomi family is now a guest of the Liu family." It is a matter of course that the main family shelters the doorman. ”

"The villain hopes that from now on, the Toyotomi family will not only be the disciple of the Liu family, but also the personal slave of your Lord Liu."

At the moment when he said this, Toyotomi Yuanjiang's face was gloomy, the gap between his eyebrows became deeper and deeper, and the whole person was old and decrepit.

"Mr. Toyotomi, you're giving me a problem."

Liu Dian hesitated for a moment, and then put on a painful look: "But since the day I entered the order, what I Liu Dian admire the most is people with feelings and righteous lofty ideals, so Mr. Toyotomi is doing this favor, I will help!" ”

"Toyotomi Enjiang, thank you."

"You're welcome, sir. As I said earlier, I am willing to help because I admire you as a person. ”

Liu Dian's expression was solemn, and he paused word by word: "Tokugawa Hiroshi was indeed wronged!" ”

Toyotomi Yuanjiang's expression was grim, and he asked busily, "My lord, do you have evidence?" ”

"On the day of the Edo Rebellion, I consoled the Yamen as one of the main targets of Honghu's attack, and suffered heavy losses. In order to be able to arrest the real culprit behind the scenes, I have been sending people to secretly investigate the ins and outs of the entire incident. ”

Liu Dian stood up, put his hands behind his back, and paced back and forth.

"When Nishiki claimed that Tokugawa Hiroshi was the king of Koko Kamakura, I actually didn't agree with this conclusion."

Liu Dian said gloomily: "But sir, you also know that Jinyiwei is covering the sky with one hand in the Japanese area. With the vicious dog Su Ce here, even if it is my Liu family, there is nothing to do but watch them turn black and white upside down and swallow the entire Rende Capital in one gulp! ”

"The bitter brocade clothes in the Wa District have been guarded for a long time!"

Liu Dian groaned, "Although I couldn't stop Jinyiwei from going against the grain, as a Confucian preface, I have always upheld the word 'justice' in my heart. So I haven't given up investigating the truth about the Edo Rebellion, and the emperor has lived up to his wishes, and in the end I still found out the identity of the real murderer! ”

Airplanes.

Countless rays of light are projected from the dome of the flower hall, weaving together a picture in the open space.

The wind whipped the raindrops and crackled on the gravel ground.

Toyotomi stood up suddenly, a pair of eyes staring at the two figures standing in the storm.

Although the picture was dim, the pouring rain line blurred the figure's face.

But Toyotomi still recognized those eyes at a glance.

Arrogant, arrogant and arrogant.

Except for the absurd martyrs, there is no one else in the Wa District.

"This image was inadvertently taken outside the castle on the day of the Edo Rebellion, when a peregrine falcon from the Garrison Bureau was taken."

Liu Dian stood behind Toyotomi Yuanjiang, listening to the buzz of the other party's body, and the corners of his mouth slowly hooked up a satisfied smile.

"At that time, I knew that Haruhide was already a wanted criminal of Jinyiwei, but he appeared outside Edo Castle with Arasei, and the two of them seemed to have known that Honghu would attack that day."

Liu Dian said slowly: "Of course, this does not prove that the two of them have something to do with the Edo Rebellion, but it is an indisputable fact that they know all about Honghu's actions. Coincidentally, when I was tracking down the rumors that Tokugawa Hiroshi was the king of Kamakura, I found that the identities of some of the rumor-mongers were the former slaves of Black Dragon Capital. ”

However, although there are many doubts, none of them are conclusive evidence. Therefore, whether Tokugawa Hiroshi's death was framed by someone still needs to be judged by yourself, Mr. Toyotomi. ”

"The kindness of the adults, the Toyotomi family is unforgettable."

Toyotomi Yuanjiang turned back suddenly, clasped his hands tightly to his legs, and bowed to Liu Dian to the end.

"Please tell me, my lord, where Akechi Harumu is hiding now!"

Liu Dian looked embarrassed, "Sir, this is embarrassing for me, if I knew the fugitive's hiding place, I would have sent someone to arrest him, how could it be."

"If only you could help me get revenge."

Toyotomi Yuanjiang interrupted Liu Dian's words in a hurry, and said in a deep voice: "The members of the Toyotomi family can inherit your 'Confucian Seal Letter' and never betray it for the rest of their lives!" ”

Confucianism preface to seal the letter, into the thought. A chapter falls, and life and death are taken away.

The conditions offered by Toyotomi Yuanjiang, Liu Dian could not refuse at all.

"Akechi Haruhide is hiding in Osaka Castle now!"

As soon as the words fell, Toyotomi Yuanjiang straightened his back, raised his hand and grabbed the box on the table, and strode out of the flower hall.

"This old horseman does things simply, but unfortunately he is too stupid and loyal, and he traps himself. Is it really worth this step for the sake of a dead man? What a pity! ”

Liu Dian looked at the open door of the cave, shook his head and sneered.

Toyotomi will be pitiful? Pitiful indeed.

But there is something hateful about the wretched.

In Liu Dian's eyes, Toyotomi's hatred in Yuanjiang is far greater than his pity.

In the empty flower hall at the moment, Liu Dian suddenly raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

With a soft sound, the projection screen that was originally stranded in the open space immediately changed.

A scholar wearing a white jade crown and a dark robe slowly appeared in the field.

"I'm only allowed to link in now, is there a guest just now?"

The young man in Xuanyi smiled, looked at Liu Dian and quipped, "Could it be Toyotomi Yuanjiang?" ”

Hearing the other party call out this name, Liu Dian's originally calm face suddenly sank, and he sneered: "It's worthy of the Langya Wang family, before the person entered the Japanese area, he actually planted eyeliner in my yamen, which is really a good means." ”

"Brother Liu misunderstood"

Liu Dian interrupted coldly: "Wang Changting, you haven't taken office yet, and you're not an official yet." According to the rules, you should call this official an adult! ”

Wang Changting, a young man in Xuanyi, was stunned by Liu Dian's words, and then laughed dumbly, and arched his hand: "I've seen Lord Liu." ”

Liu Dian snorted coldly, turned around and sat in an official hat chair.

"Tell me, what are you looking for?"

"Of course it's a good thing."

The smile on Wang Changting's face remained unchanged: "I want to talk to you about a business." ”

"What kind of business can your royal family do in Edo Castle?"

Liu Dian deliberately lengthened his tone and did not hide the disdain in his tone.

"Of course it has to do with the New Deal."

Liu Dian was expressionless: "Go on." ”

"Presumably Lord Liu should have heard that this time the New Donglin Party elected the gate valve to enter the Wa District, and the Langya Wang clan chose Inuyama City, and I will go to the post of Inuyama City Propaganda Envoy in the near future."

Liu Dian squinted his eyes: "You say this, do you need this official to congratulate you?" ”

"Hexi doesn't have to. Now the Tongzhi of Inuyama Castle is called Yang Baize, and he is a student of Pei Xingjian, the current governor of Chongqing. ”

"Wang Changting, if you continue to talk this nonsense, then you can disconnect the link now."

was sneered at one after another, and the smile on Wang Changting's face gradually faded.

"Yang Baize has a great relationship with Yan Jun of the Hundred Households of Inuyama City Jinyi Guard, and he will definitely join forces to stop me."

Liu Dian's heart moved, but the tone on his lips was still tough: "Where did you hear this news?" ”

"Where did you get the news, so you don't have to worry about it, Lord Liu. Anyway, it seems that Lord Liu is not interested in talking to me anymore. ”

Wang Changting didn't eat him at all, and immediately sneered, "Since that's the case, then I'll leave!" ”

"Wait a minute."

Liu Dian's face was gloomy, "Let's be clear, what does the battle between your Inuyama Castle have to do with my Edo Castle?" What benefits can I have? ”

"The contradiction between Yan Jun and King Ming, I don't need to say more, right? Now that I am fighting with Yan Jun, this kind of opportunity to fall into the ground, will King Ming give up? ”

"Wang Changting, up to now, the official still hasn't heard it, where is my slightest benefit here."

"Liu Dian, everyone is a member of the New Donglin Party, so there's no need to pretend to be confused, right?"

Wang Changting sneered: "If I'm not mistaken, you haven't hooked up with King Ming yet, right?" If you are willing to join forces with him to solve Yan Jun, will he still turn you away? ”

"Looks like you know everything about me."

Liu Dian's eyes were gloomy, and cold words popped out of his clenched teeth one by one.

"I don't know anything about it, and I don't have the courage to provoke you Liu Valve, but everyone just takes what they need."

Wang Changting had a tough attitude: "Do you do this business or not?" ”

At the same time, his projection became erratic, as if it could be disconnected at any moment.

"Do!"
