The bodies of Shigehide Suzuki and others were not found until days later. The parties who fought with wits and courage, Shimoma Yoriteru and Honda Masanobu were waiting for the people of Ereyoshi Castle to report that the Akashi brothers of Ereyoshi Castle were caught off guard by the disappearance of the strange monk Suifeng, and the strange monk retreated with the wind and disappeared again without a trace, anyway, in the end, no one took the lead in bursting the bubble of this lie. The Akashi brothers quietly moved the bodies of Shimoma Yoriren and Suzuki Shigehide for more than ten miles, and no one noticed.

It wasn't until three days later that the old monk of the nearby Suma Temple rode his beloved donkey and returned from drinking the celebration wine from the new city lord of Yueshui City, Lai Long, who was still drunk and had two lumps of red on his face, and slowly ran on his familiar street.

The old monk patted the cloth bag hanging on either side of the donkey, which contained the wine he had brought from the banquet, which was not a luxury that could often be drunk, and he had just burped when he smelled a sticky, choking stench that disgustingly stimulated his sense of smell and led him to the shadow of a valley in the northern part of the street.

In the summer, it is here that the street vendors escape the heat and eat a rice ball hidden in their chests. In his spare time when he sometimes travels to various villages to teach the Fa, he often likes to rest here. When he saw what he saw, he couldn't breathe.

Chi Guoguo's stripped corpse, forty or fifty people lying on the ground, blood everywhere, you can see the tragedy of the scene. At this time, their corpses were covered with flies, buzzing in pairs, and the smell of corpses was disgusting.

The old monk had not seen dead people in the troubled times, but when he saw the scene in front of him, he was still swallowed up by a panicked fear, and he slowly retreated. I couldn't take my eyes off this terrible scene. How could someone slaughter people so brutally. Let them die without a place to bury?

The old monk originally wanted to come forward to check on the greed. However, seeing that many of them had ring scars on their heads, he was so frightened that he climbed onto the donkey and rushed desperately in the direction of Yueshui City to report the astonishing news to the new lord.

The news immediately spread around the entire Yueshui City, and everyone was stunned. This matter is not trivial, and Lai Long took more than 30 subordinates to check overnight with torches, and the old monk only said that the monk was killed. But when he looked at two familiar people, he felt a thunderbolt from the sky, and he almost fainted, and the subordinates around him hurriedly supported him, and he recognized the bodies of Shimoma Yoriren and Suzuki Shigehide, which were the envoys to Okayama, who were slaughtered in their own territory.

While he was busy ordering people to block the scene, he hurriedly sent people to Ishiyama Honganji Temple to report the news. For a time, the entire Ishiyama Honganji Temple was also alarmed. The bigwigs of Ishiyama Honganji Temple hurriedly took people to the local area to inspect and see the scene. Everyone unanimously agreed that it was the bandits.

The fact that the Ishiyama Honganji Kii, Izumi, and Kawachi were all the commanders of the military and the leaders of the Saga clan were killed at the same time, which was a major event. What's even more hateful is that Shimoma Yoriren and Suzuki Shigehide and others exposed their corpses in the wilderness, not to mention their armor, feet and even clothes, and some didn't even let go of their crotch cloths. It is really sad and lamentable, that the two high-ranking officials of Ishiyama Honganji have ended up like this.

After ordering the bodies of Shimoma Yoriren and Shigehide Suzuki to be collected, he hurriedly sent someone to Ishiyama Honganji Temple to inform the Lord Honganji Xianru. Honganji Xianru was shocked when he heard this, and he was speechless for a long time, he knew the plan of Yorizhao Shimoma.

After waiting for the Shimoma Raitu to return in a hurry, he was immediately summoned by Honganji Temple, he looked at Shimoma Yorizhao, and said viciously: "After building the Faqiao, what do you want to do, you actually treat your brothers of the same clan like this, it is unbelievable, unbelievable." ”

Beforehand, when Shimoma Yorito met Honganji Xianru, he didn't even explain the plan offered by Honda Masanobu, and it became his calculation directly, but he clearly saw Shimoma Yoriren running into Eyoshi Castle alive before leaving.

Shimoma Yorito swears that the death of Shimoma Yoriren and others has nothing to do with them, and Honganji Xianru preconceived that the death of Shimoma Yoriren and others is a good thing that Shimoma Yorito did in order to seize the military power in the hands of Shimoma Yori.

Honganji Xianru looked at Shimoma Laizhao, gritted his teeth, whispered a Buddha name, and then asked: "Then you analyze it, who else can do this?" He decided in his heart what Lai Zhao did in the next room, and he also had to have an explanation outside, could it really be said that it was a thief, and who would believe it.

Shimoma Yorisho suddenly had a strong impulse to tell the truth, saying that they forced Suzuki Shigehide to kill, and then let Shimoma Yoriren escape into Erayoshi Castle, it was the Akashi brothers of Ereyoshi Castle who did a good job, but he didn't dare, and he didn't dare to say it.

You must know that Suzuki Shigenori of the Saga people has declared that he will cut the murderer of his son with a thousand knives, and then feed the fish with slices of meat, and at the same time, the scene of death has been changed, and Shimoma Lai Zhao can only hide it, he raised his head and said: "Did the monk of Enryakuji Temple do it?" ”

Honganji Xianru looked at Shimoma Yorisho's gaze, and suddenly he saw the flashing gaze in the other party's eyes, and knew that he guessed correctly, this matter was done by Shimoma Yorizhao, his fists were clenched tightly, Shimoma Yoriren and Suzuki Shigehide were his right-hand men, he just didn't want to see Shimoma Yoriren in power. In the end, he still wanted Lai Lian to become the first deputy general who had always been in the position. didn't expect that Lai Zhao would make such a move of public indignation for the sake of power.

Honganji Xianru looked at Shimoma Yorizhao, and a cold voice came out of his mouth, saying, "It's better to remember your words today, don't forget, go and rest!" He felt so tired, really tired, and it occurred to him why his great-grandfather had chosen to run away when Kaga Province had broken out.

Honganji Xianru's words were like a basin of cold water, pouring down his head, making Shimoma Yorizhao's slightly boiling blood suddenly cold spring, and he couldn't help but shiver, he could hear that Honganji Xianru had already decided that the deaths of Shimoma Yoriren and Suzuki Shigehide were his doing.

"Wronged!" Shimoma Lai Zhao sighed secretly, he had no way to retreat, so he forced himself to calm down. Bow down. "Yes." Dharma Master. Stumbling downstairs, he returned to his house and saw the last person he wanted to see now.

Shimoma Yoshitoru was angry, and he looked at Honda Masanobu who was sitting cross-legged next to the desk drinking a small drink. If it weren't for the presence of three men at the scene, he would have immediately raised a knife and cut each other. He glanced left and right, three men, one sitting with Honda Masanobu drinking wine, and the other two standing in the doorway with knives in their arms.

Shimoma Yorisho glared angrily at Honda Masanobu. looked at him with almost all his strength, but he had to suppress his voice and didn't dare to make a loud noise, so that people realized that he was also the party at that time, and shouted in a deep voice: "Mihachi, this is the result you want." ”

After pouring himself a glass of wine, Honda Masanobu greeted him, then poured it into his mouth, and said: "First of all, my name is Yahachiro, not Yahachi, and secondly, for the death of the criminal department's legal eye." I'm also sorry that I didn't calculate the sinister nature of people's hearts. ”

Yorisho Shimoma was devastated. Self-confidence is seriously frustrated, and the source of his power is the trust of Honganji Xianru, and once he loses the trust of Honganji Xianru, he will become a rootless source, so to speak, now he has lost everything, panting and looking at Honda Masanobu.

Honda Masanobu put down the wine glass, shook his hand, and said: "You are too impatient, come, drink a glass of wine to sober up, listen to me slowly give you an analysis, in fact, the death of Yoriyo Shima is not a thing that you can't bear." ”

Shimoma Yoshira glared at Honda Masanobu, took two deep breaths, and then stepped onto the floor, sat opposite Honda Masanobu, didn't look at the extra wine glass on the table, and asked, "You'd better be able to tell why." ”

Honda Masanobu looked at Shimoma Yorisho, and suddenly a strange smile appeared on his face, and said: "What the Dharma Master can use now is two groups of people, one group is the monks and soldiers of Ishiyama Honganji Temple, mainly the Shimoma clan, and the other group is the samurai subordinate forces dominated by Hatakeyama Takamasa, Matsunaga Shu and others. Tell me who he will put in command of the team that has always been in place, and he is really relieved to let outsiders such as Hatakeyama Takamasa and Matsunaga Shu command it. ”

Shimoma Lai Zhao was a little upset, and replied unceremoniously, saying: "Even if you choose one of the Shimoma clans, Shimoma Yorilong is more suitable than me, but the poor monk is regarded by the Dharma Master as the murderer of Shimoma Yoriren and Suzuki Shigehide." ”

Honda Masanobu replied lightly: "Shimoma Yoriren and Suzuki Shigehide died within the territory of Koshisui City, and as the lord of Koshisui City, Shimoma Yoriyu can get out of the way. If it were me, the most important thing for the master to do now was not to feel sorry for himself, but to immediately go to the families of Shimoma Yoriren and Suzuki Shigehide to comfort him, of course, he was indignant and said two bad things about Shimoma Yoryu, isn't it all a natural thing?! You must know that in the whole temple, only the Dharma Master is suspicious. ”

Shimoma Lai Zhao felt a little unbelievable, he didn't expect that when things were reversed, although what Honda Masatin said was unbelievable, but there was some truth, and there were not many people who knew about it. Shimoma Yoriren and Shigehide Suzuki, who know the truth, are dead, and Honganji Xianru will not expose his family scandal, and if he wants to arrest him and resist his death, he will already be tried publicly. Then, his gaze turned to Honda Masanobu and the other man, who he could tell was the leader of the attacker.

Shimoma Yorisho asked, "What do you want?" ”

Honda Masanobu looked at Shimoma Yorisho and said word by word: "It's very simple, you are about to become the first deputy general who has always been the first general, the actual general general, so stuff two thousand generals under your command, I don't think the master will mind, right?" This brother of mine is also very open-minded in Kinai, and there are no less than a thousand good brothers who can speak, and it is very safe to keep a confidential matter, what do you say, Master Chikugo Hohashi. ”

Shimoma Lai Zhao did kill just now, but he didn't expect to be discovered by Honda Masanobu, and directly said a threatening word. Indeed, once someone spreads the news, it doesn't have to spread widely, as long as the Suzuki Shigenori of the Saga people knows whose calculation his son died, and Shimoma Yorisho doesn't have to think about the position of first deputy general that has always been the same, presumably the only thing on his mind at that time is how to save his life. He nodded heavily and said, "One word is a deal." ”

Honda Masanobu and Wasuka Koroku and the others walked out of Shimoma Yorisho's house and walked on the empty street, Wasuka Koroku said in a sullen voice: "Yahachiro, who do you say ruined our good deeds, I'm afraid those two rats in Erayoshi Castle don't have such guts?" ”

Honda Masanobu looked up at the blue sky, his gloomy eyes brewed with anger, his plan can be said to be in vain, although now he has persuaded Shimoma Yorisho to get the position he deserves, but for the first time he feels that he has been tricked, he said, "I will meet one day." ”

Under Okayama Castle, a neatly dressed young monk sat in an izakaya, and without saying a word, he teased the proprietress of the izakaya who came up to pour wine, suddenly sneezed twice, touched his nose, and said, "Which little lady is thinking about spring again." ”

The street suddenly became lively, and the young monk counted the days and said, "The time is just right, hehe, why don't you take advantage of the time to sneak into the team and go into the city to see how much Ida Zhengheng is, and see if he can become the master of the world?" ”

An old man with a bad nose opened the wooden door and shouted, "Prince Jue Shufa of the Tiantai Sect is here." The low-ranking samurai and ronin who were drinking in the izakaya walked out with their swords in their hands and walked in the direction of the docks. The young monk took out a hundred yuan from his arms, put it on the table, and said, "It's good to go and have a look." ”

As he spoke, he dragged his clogs towards the door.

The receptionist was Zhu Yun Huixin, the presiding officer of the Vajra Wheel Temple, who was also a diplomatic monk of the Date family, and held both the position of monk and layman in his identity, and ordered someone to mobilize more than 100 policemen from the General Police Department to maintain order, but it was not too grand, which was also the meaning of political balance.

It was a sunny day, but it wasn't unbearably hot. The cool sea breeze blowing from the sea passes through the pier from time to time. As soon as the boat on which Prince Jue Shufa and his entourage were riding was fluttering, as soon as it docked, Zhu Yunhuixin reminded everyone: "There are many local Tiantai sect monks, beware of being hit, but be careful." At the same time, he had already stepped forward to receive the envoy with the Kusama Directorate of the National Police Agency.

When the dock received the envoy of the Tiantai Sect, in the city, Zhengheng's face was not good-looking, he looked at Hattori Masanari and Tozawa Baiyunsai, and said, "You said that this incident originally happened near Eyoshi Castle, and then moved to the vicinity of Koshisui Castle.
