Chapter 242: The Shimazu Family's Conspiracy
Chapter 242 Shimazu Family's Yīn Scheme
"You mean?" Jin Yingjihai's soft eyes opened in an instant, and she was reminded by Qin Lin that she thought of that serious problem.
Qin Lin nodded solemnly and slowly said the reason.
Any crime has a motive, in Qin Lin's view, there is no so-called "motive crime" in this world, even if it is a psychopathic murderer who chooses the victim at will, he also has the motive to pursue perverted pleasure and vent his violent emotions in his heart.
Attributing to the murder of Máo Haifeng, it is concluded that there may be two motives for Shimazu Xiǎo Torimaru and Iga Ghost Qing: first, to frame the envoy Qin Lin and his party of the Ming Dynasty, sabotage Zhaofu, and create conditions for the Shimazu family to annex the Wufeng maritime merchants; Secondly, it is to make the maritime department suspicious of the contemporary Wufeng ship owner Jin Yingji, so as to facilitate Ye Ma to take the opportunity to seize power.
But judging from what happened after the incident, it was not easy to blame Qin Lin and his party for the crime, because although Máo Haifeng refused to appease him, he also hated the Shimazu family, and he almost fought with Ye Ma, who wanted to take refuge in the Japanese, several times, Ye Ma and the two envoys of the Shimazu family were also suspicious, and even more suspicious.
The development of the facts is also like this, and when Máo Haifeng, who has good martial arts, dies, many people suspect Iga Ghost Qing.
Shimazu Xiǎo Torimaru's act of entering the wooden house after Máo's death and swinging his sword luàn to cut Nòng to make a noise was also entirely to create an alibi for Iga Ogei, rather than "blaming Qin Lin".
This shows that even if the other party has the idea of blaming the other, it will not be the main motive.
Huo Chonglou had already washed his hands and came back, and when he heard the conversation between Qin Lin and Jin Yingji, he couldn't help but ask, "Chief Qin, can the other party still take the opportunity to help Ye Ma take the position?" ”
Qin Lin smiled, let's take a look at the Shimazu family's plan to let Ye Ma seize power.
In fact, it had already been made clear just now, although the old brother of Máo Haifeng was instigated and had some doubts about Jin Sakurahime, he did not fall into Ye Ma's camp
- Obviously, they and Ye Ma are even more incompatible, Ye Ma can incite suspicion, but he can't win people's hearts.
It was impossible for the envoys of the Shimazu family not to see this, and among the five peaks of the maritime merchants, only the Ye Ma family was willing to take refuge in them, and the current five peaks ship owner Jin Sakurahime and the most powerful Máo Haifeng all sneered at them.
In this case, the best outcome of killing Máo Haifeng is to make everyone doubt endlessly, and achieve the goal of "Ming Guo's appeasement failure", which is far from their original intention of "forcing the Wufeng maritime merchants to take refuge in the Shimazu family".
So why did the two devils do this, killing Máo Haifeng in the lair of the Wufeng Maritime Merchant, it was not a risk!
What is it that makes them so impatient to take the risk?
It definitely won't be because of Qin Lin's arrival, although the Ming Kingdom's appeasement has brought uncertainties to the Shimazu family's strategy, but Qin Lin only has more than a dozen followers and does not put any realistic pressure on the other party, so the Shimazu family doesn't need to be in such a hurry at all.
Since the reason is not in the Ming Dynasty to appease the envoys, it can only be on the side of the Shimazu family.
The Shimazu family was no match for the Goho maritime merchants at sea, but Shimazu Yoshihisa launched an ambitious plan to dominate Kyushu on land, and last year, Otomo defeated his biggest enemy, the Otomo family, in the First Battle of Ogawa, and has already claimed hegemony on the island of Kyushu in Xiǎoxiǎo.
Since Quan Zhengyin was ordered to come to the Central Plains to find Qin Lin, the two envoys have been in Hirado for more than half a month, and they must have seen the situation clearly, no matter whether the Wufeng Maritime Merchants agreed to the appeasement of the Ming Dynasty, in short, it was impossible for Jin Sakurahime and Máo Haifeng, who had an overwhelming advantage in strength, to surrender to the Shimazu clan.
So how will the ambitious head of the Shimazu family, Shimazu Yoshihisa, choose?
Although the strength of the Wufeng maritime merchants is not as good as before, it is still not something that the Shimazu family can defeat at sea, but on land, the situation is completely reversed.
"And the most crucial point," Qin Lin said eloquently, his eyes flashing with the fire of wisdom: "Why did Iga Oniqing rush to kill Shimazu Xiǎo Torimaru?" Extinguish! He knew that his companions could not keep a secret under torture - so what secrets did they have to defend with their lives? ”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, on the one hand, they were impressed by Qin Lin's interlocking analysis, and on the other hand, they thought of the reason why the envoy of the Shimazu family was so desperate:
In order to annex the Five Peaks Maritime Merchants, the Shimazu family's army had already attacked by land, and at this time, Iga Kiqing and Xiǎo Torimaru found that Máo Kaifeng's attitude towards the Ming Dynasty's appeasement had loosened, and they were afraid that the Maritime Merchants would make the decision to abandon Hirado Port and return to the coastal islands of the mainland, so they had to risk killing Máo Kaifeng to delay time. ,
In the final analysis, the purpose of creating an alibi for Iga and allowing Ye Ma to incite the maritime brothers to suspect Qin Lin and Kan Sakurahime was also to create obstacles to the detection and delay the detection time, so that the maritime merchants would not have time to consider whether to accept the appeasement and leave Hirado, so that they could be dragged until the arrival of the Shimazu family's army!
Iga Oniqing has to kill Xiǎo Torimaru to extinguish his mouth in a desperate situation, which just proves this inference!
For a while, everyone was a little panicked, and in the last day, there have been great changes, Máo Haifeng was killed, Ye Ma fell, and the backbone was only the young Jin Sakurahime.
Qin Lin nodded encouragingly at Jin Yingji, the owner of the Wufeng ship, with a solemn face, said awe-inspiringly: "My father chose Matsuura Hirado Port to survive, just because it is difficult to gain a foothold on the southeast coast of my mother state, and now the imperial court has appeased me and named me the chief of Yingzhou Tusi, what else is there to be nostalgic for in Hirado?" Everyone, immediately pack up your belongings, set sail, and go home! ”
Go home? Go home!
Overseas travelers of the Chinese nation, who does not have a nostalgia for their hometown in their hearts? Fallen leaves return to the roots, foxes die on the head of the hill, grass, trees, birds and beasts are still like this, not to mention people!
"Although Liang Yuan is not a place to stay for a long time, it seems that this Hirado Port is no longer left," the three respected old maritime merchants under the command of Máo Haifeng slammed to the ground at Jin Yingji: "Let's go and pack up our belongings, where will the Wufeng maritime merchants go in the future, but it is up to the ship's owner's orders." ”
Knowing that these old uncles of the same generation as Wang Zhi had surrendered, Jin Yingji pursed her lips and smiled, but soon thought of the tragic death of her righteous brother Máo Haifeng and the forced abandonment of Hirado Port, which had been in business for many years, and her heart was a little gloomy.
Suddenly, she felt that her left hand was held in the palm of her hand, and instinctively shrank back, and found that it was Qin Lin, Jin Yingji's cheeks were slightly flushed, so she also held it with him, only to feel that the palm that was blown cold by the sea breeze in the middle of the night had the warmth of his palm, which was strangely comfortable.
"Now is not the time to sigh," Qin Lin attached to her ear and said in a low voice: "Chief Jin should take out the courage of the Wufeng Ship Owner, quickly slash Luàn Ma, and quickly solve the matter!" ”
Qin Lin was too close, Jin Yingji's ears were hot, although he had pretended to be bewitching and charming in front of Qin Lin before, it was just another plan or a joke, at this time, he whispered so in his ear, and his heart was slightly divided, and his smooth and white ears were a little red.
After all, he was a contemporary Wufeng boat owner, and Jin Yingji quickly gathered her mind and scratched Qin Lin's palm, and her hand slipped out of his palm like a swimming fish.
Hurriedly walking to the steps in front of the Mazu Temple, Jin Yingji calmly gave orders one after another.
First of all, Ye Ma was escorted up, and asked if he knew about the Shimazu family's yīn scheme, of course this guy was playing tricks to the death, Jin Sakurahime's face was frosty, and he couldn't help but say that he immediately ordered him to be beheaded, and Kameban Takeo swung it down, and Ye Ma immediately beheaded him.
The old subordinates of Ye Ma and his family shuddered when they saw this, and they didn't know what kind of fate they would have, but when Jin Yingji turned over, they smiled like huā, and said loudly: "The first evil has been ambushed, but Ye Ma is willing to be the lackey of the Shimazu family, and everyone is covered by him!" ”
Hearing this, Ye Ma's old guys breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this fate was saved, and secretly felt that Jin Yingji was magnanimous - now that Ye Ma's family has completely collapsed, life and death are all decided by Jin Yingji.
NV One Piece was solemn again, and said sharply: "In the future, you should take this as a warning, and you must not eat inside and outside, otherwise the fate of Ye Ma today will be the end of the traitor tomorrow!" ”
The old guys had just escaped death, and when they heard these two sentences, they all turned over and bowed down: "In the future, we will only see the owner of the Wufeng ship, and we dare not have two hearts. ”
People who walk on the sea believe in Mazu the most, and swear to the Mazu temple that they will never be violated, otherwise Mazu will not come to the rescue when the wind is encountered, and the people who close the boat will be buried in the belly of the fish, so not only the person who made the oath does not dare to violate the oath slightly, but also the same boat and the same party must supervise each other, lest the person who violates the oath will be unlucky.
Although Ye Ma's old men swore an oath, they couldn't be the leader, and Jin Yingji immediately assigned his own men to take over their ships.
Who packed up their things, who helped the old and weak, who checked the sails and rigging of the ship, and who was responsible for the transfer of the Mazu icon and ancestral tablets...... Jin Yingji was dispatched one by one, and it seemed that it was orderly, and more than 30,000 people, including their families, and hundreds of Wufeng maritime merchants in large ships, all obeyed the order, like an arm.
On the steps of the high Mazu Temple, the lights shine brilliantly, as the saying goes, the beauty under the lamp is three points better than usual, only to see the golden cherry girl originally slightly pale melon seed face, because of the shouting and giving orders and slightly red, even more than usual 12 points more charming, dressed in sea tiger velvet black sè big 氅, originally heroic and sassy, partial life is still wearing pajamas, in the heroic style and sharp air with a little beauty chūn at the beginning of sleep lazy and coquettish, the neckline is a piece of snow skin white and tender like mutton fat, which makes people see the heart shake.
Of course, the maritime merchants and sailors didn't dare to look up, and at this moment, Jin Yingji, the second-generation Wufeng ship owner, was really not far from Mazu Niangniang in their minds.
Only Qin Lin, who was standing a little farther away, smiled evilly and took a full look at the beauty.
Well, since you've already had skin kisses in Tianxiang Pavilion, it doesn't seem rude to just look at it, right?
Jin Yingji noticed this guy's voyeurism and glared at him fiercely, but Qin Lin reciprocated with a harmless smile, and the One Piece could only pat his forehead lazily, and he was helpless
