Chapter 4 tragic death

Genzaburo was on duty that night.After returning to the room in Nakagoden, he took out the letter in his arms and read it carefully.In the letter, there are lingering words of yearning for Jin Gu after the first meeting: "When I saw you standing under the cherry blossom tree in full bloom, leading a horse, because you were so beautiful, I was as scared as seeing a demon. The brilliant sunset reflected on the cherry blossoms and you, and the flowers became more beautiful because of you. , you are more charming because of the flowers, just like a famous painting, which makes me fascinated..."

Although Genzaburo has full confidence in his appearance, and believes that anyone who sees him, regardless of gender, will have a heart of love, but he is still very happy to see such sincere praise.In addition, when he heard the blind woman say that the noble lady was the wife of Xinfatian City Lord, her image began to emerge in his mind. There were so many tourists that day, he was watched by countless women and received countless praises!Although there are many beauties, no one can attract him except her. She looked like the wife of a high-status Wu family. When he first saw her, his heart beat abnormally, which he had never experienced before.Although she is beautiful and has a smooth and fair complexion, what attracted Genzaburo was her calm and dignified demeanor. Genzaburo couldn't help but want to pat his back lightly with her tender hands hugging his chest.

Needless to say, he didn't know who she was from, he only knew that she might be a very high-status wife of the Wu family.He wanted to ask his followers, but he gave up, because from his standpoint, this kind of thing must be cautious. However, even that kind of emotion disappeared after going to sleep overnight. He felt that it would be more pleasant to let others admire him than to miss others himself.But when the blind girl told him that Mrs. Shi was the one who fell in love with him at first sight when he was enjoying the flowers in Jingu, her image suddenly appeared in his heart. He kept thinking: "If it's her, that's good, um, it must be her!"

Therefore, he was even more joyful when he saw the letter.He read it several times and never got tired of reading it. The passage in the letter praising his beauty made him especially happy.He felt warm all over his body, and his chest was surging.At first, the images of Mrs. Shi and the sentences in the letter appeared in his mind at the same time, but later only those beautiful words remained. However, he couldn't just keep reading the letter over and over again. Wouldn't it be dangerous if someone found out?He has never loved anyone other than Qingjing, nor has he been loved by anyone else.He didn't expect that if the matter leaked out, Mrs. Shi would also be killed. He just wanted to prevent Qingjing from finding out that he had someone else in his heart.

He rolled up the letter paper and put it in a small drawer. He thought it was inappropriate, thought about it, wrapped it with other things, took it to the gate of the palace, handed it to a young warrior accompanying him, and ordered: "Take this back , put it on the shelf in the room, don't touch it!" After explaining, he was relieved.I was happy all day long, thinking about Mrs. Shi's appearance and words that praised him from time to time. At night, Qingjing drank and had fun as usual, and Yuan Saburo accompanied him until late at night. "You can sleep with me tonight!"

"yes!" Putting his hands on the ground, he habitually winked at Qingjing, and was suddenly surprised. It was the first time that Qingjing's drunken, oily face suddenly bore him. "Madam Shi..." He murmured the name in his heart.That is to say, Mrs. Tao Zhangmori, the new hairdresser who wrote to him.
Yuan Saburo and Mrs. Shi secretly communicated with each other, and it was a blind woman who sent the letter between them.At first, the blind girl was reluctant to pass on the letter for them just out of favor, but every time Genzaburo and Mrs. Shi never forgot Shi Xiaohui, gradually got used to it, and was even willing to run errands for them.

Sometimes after delivering the letter, she would ask the recipient to reply to the letter. Under her instigated tone, she would not do anything without writing. Strange to say, people often don't cry when they are unbearable, but they are sad after crying; they don't laugh when they are extremely funny, but they feel funny after laughing;This is exactly the case with Genzaburo at the moment, at first he was just happy to write some beautiful, gentle and helpless love words, and looked at the other party's difficult words of yearning, but it didn't take long for him to take it seriously, wanting to see her, wanting to talk to her personally.

Mrs. Shi's side is even more devoted, and she will die without complaint.When Genzaburo wrote to tell her that she wanted to meet and whether he could find a way, she immediately wrote back and said, "I'll think about it." She consults with the waitress.The maids were inspired by the belief that they mistakenly turned distorted lust into loyalty. They searched hard and finally came up with a clever plan to get Gen Saburo to pretend to be a woman and sneak into the mansion. Eye. All the other maids applauded and excitedly came up with various excuses. "That's right, let's say he is the partner who plays the zither with his wife!"

"I need to help him get a kite box." "What identity should he come in with?" "There must be some young daughters outside Chunri Mountain City! Let's use one of their names!" "Let's prepare for him what he needs! He shouldn't have these female items in his place." They imagined Genzaburo's female costume, and they were so excited that they couldn't help themselves.They fetched the blind girl and told her the idea.The blind girl knew that things had gotten to this point, and she had no reason to back down. She also believed that the maids said that Gen Saburo was beautiful, and anyone would think he was a woman, so she boldly reported the news.

She went to Gensaburo's mansion in the outer city and told Gensaburo her idea. "great!" Genzaburo had no objection, he liked to dress up as a woman.He was deeply interested in knowing what a beautiful woman he would be, and he didn't let the blind girl have a chance to talk, so he kept his head thinking about what he needed. "The kimono should be red silk and white silk embroidered with gold thread, the obi should be... and the turban... coat..." Not just clothes, but also shoes, accessories, etc., he counted them one by one, his pretty face looked even more beautiful, and his clear eyes shone brightly.

The blind girl was surprised when she heard it, and said after a long time: "This place is different from Kyoto, and the things you want may not be available..." "Oh, is that so?" Genzaburo's enthusiasm was quickly extinguished, and he almost didn't want to meet the beauty anymore. "Anyway, I'll tell you what you want over there, and prepare it for you as much as possible!" "Oh!" Gensaburo's voice became lifeless, and his face suddenly lost its brilliance just now, appearing cloudy and lifeless. However, the blind girl asked Genzaburo carefully what he wanted.On the third day, she came to the door again and told Genzaburo that everything had been delivered to his mansion outside the city yesterday, asking him to have a look. Gensaburo heard this, changed his clothes and went out in good spirits. The costumes Mrs. Shi prepared were all packed in a suitcase without an emblem, and they were indeed very close to the style specified by Genzaburo.Among them are the lady's own, and some are carefully selected from the maids. "This is good, this is good, I like it very much!" Excitement overflowed his face, he knew how beautiful he was at this moment, and everyone who saw him would be tempted, but unfortunately, in front of him was a blind man who couldn't see. "Poor woman!" At this moment, his heart could no longer be restrained. "I want to go tonight!" "tonight?" "Go and arrange it, please!" After speaking, he picked up the kimono and compared it with his body, without even looking at the blind girl.The soft and smooth silky touch gave him a thrill of pleasure. That night, Yuan Saburo disguised himself as a woman, left the city, and went to the Xinfatian house in the mansion.He is very satisfied with the effect of his women's clothing. He is usually used to putting on makeup, but it is only light makeup, not as heavy as tonight.The red satin kimono fits perfectly, with the snow-white woven silk exposed at the lapel, against his delicate snow-white skin, it is really charming.He had a purple scarf wrapped around his head, and the straps hung down from his ears to his shoulders. The samurai of Xinfatian's family had no suspicions at all. The blind girl held the kite box and said to them with a flattering smile: "This is the kite-playing partner invited by my wife, and she is the niece of the Kasari Mountains and Waters Valley Tamar family." The guards crowded to the door, vying to see the beautiful woman in front of them.The blind girl with a keen mind saluted, and led Genzaburo into the inner courtyard at ease.
Although Genzaburo is a man, because he has always been a woman, Cheng Huan Qingjing is now disguised as a woman, but he wants to return to the position of a masculine man, which inevitably makes him feel that his role is confused, and he is even a little confused. Mrs. Shi was twenty-eight years old, and she was born in a wealthy family. Apart from her family, she had never talked to other men. In some respects, she was still naive, so she also felt confused and shy at this moment. In the eyes of those maids, although these two people are a little clueless, they can't go wrong if they like each other, so they all worked hard to encourage and instigate them so as to make this love affair come true.Those two people tasted the taste of cheating for the first time, but they got out of control, and they have tryst frequently since then, no matter what their identities are dangerous. However, paper cannot contain fire after all.It didn't take long for Genzaburo and Mrs. Shi to have an affair scandal, and even the samurai of the Shinbata family heard about it.But Gensaburo is Qingjing's favorite, and everyone is afraid of Qingjing's lustful power, so they dare not speak nonsense, lest they will suffer accidents. The news finally reached Xinfatian City Lord Chang Dun's ears. He was shocked and suspicious. In the family of the Wu family who valued reputation above all else, such rumors could not be ignored.After a long night of thinking, he called his younger brother, Sao Bu Jie Zhi Shi. "Brother Yu may not believe all the rumors outside, but he can't ignore them. He should deal with them himself. However, Xinshan is imminent, and he can't leave the city for a while, so I invite you to go here on behalf of my brother. How about doing it by ear?" In "North Vietnam Army Records" when he was in charge of the army, he was a military general who was "the first strong man with dozens of martial arts".He was thirty years old, tall and well built, with a green beard and sharp eyes. "It's okay for my younger brother to go, but can I act according to my judgment?" "It's okay, I'll leave it all to you." "In that case, my brother will go." Saobusuke went back to the mansion to investigate, but all the maids were very tight-lipped, and the guards were just rumors, there was no real evidence. If Yuan Saburo was forced out, the word "reason" might not be tenable. The maids knew why the agency was here, except for quickly notifying his wife and contacting Genzaburo, they temporarily stopped contacting each other, so the agency found nothing.In the end, he had no choice but to say that he would go back to Xinfatian City and leave the mansion, but he quietly turned back the next day and lodged in a farmhouse near the mansion. He reports what he sees and hears. There were no suspicious clues for five consecutive days, and Sabusuke couldn't help suspecting that someone fabricated such rumors with bad intentions.But on the sixth night, two people reported one after another: "The blind girl who usually goes in and out of the mansion brought a fairy-like beauty into the mansion." Sao Bujie had a flash of inspiration and hurried to the mansion. Seeing that Sao Bujie came unexpectedly, the guards panicked, but Sao Bujie ignored them and rushed to the inner courtyard. In order to welcome Genzaburo who will be in the future for many days, Mrs. Toki and the maids are enjoying a small banquet, laughing and drinking, when Sabusuke suddenly rushes in, and the maids panic and want to stop Sabusuke. Sao Busuke swung his knife and slashed: "Bitch! Don't get out of the way!" Gensaburo wanted to flee in a hurry, Saobusuke caught up with him, chopped off his head without any trouble, and forced him into his sister-in-law without looking back.Mrs. Shi tried to escape, but the hem of her skirt was stepped on by Sao Bujie, and her struggling body was bent into a bow.Saobusuke let out a low growl, and the blade pierced through the center of Mrs. Shi's back.
All present were panic-stricken, and among them, the blind woman was particularly frightened.It was she who exchanged songs between Yuan Saburo and Mrs. Shi for them, which caused this scandal.She knew better than anyone else that she was the one to bear the brunt of the crime.She timidly retreated to the corner, wanting to wait for the storm to pass, but how could Sabusuke, who had eyes as sharp as an eagle, not see it? "Bitch!" He grabbed the blind woman's belt and dragged it on the ground. The blind woman screamed again and again, and Sao Bujie kicked her on the waist. "Forgive me! My lord, forgive me..." The blind girl struggled on the ground. "If you do such a shameless thing, you should know that there is nothing wrong with it, and you can't save your life. However, if you answer my question honestly, you might not be able to spare your life. If you want to spare your life, just tell the truth, no There must be half a lie! Let me ask you, is this guy Gensaburo, Qingjinggong's beloved servant boy?" He stomped hard on his feet, and the blind girl replied angrily: "Yes, he is Gensaburo..." Saobusuke then asked Genzaburo and Mrs. Shi Jingu Shanghua, their love at first sight, their private letters, and the love meeting in the West Chamber, etc. one by one, and said: "Although I may not be able to spare your life, but what you have done, even if you die It's still not enough to forgive, you should wake up!" As he spoke, he drew the knife and stabbed it straight into the blind girl's back. The blind girl struggled and scolded loudly: "Hateful!" Unconsciously, Sao Bujie was furious, "You bastard who is about to die, you're still not guilty!" He threw away the knife, and beat the blind girl's back hard with his hard fist until she broke the bone and spurted blood. He kicked the blind girl's corpse to a corner, cut off Mrs. Shi's head, picked up Genzaburo's head that fell by the corridor, wrapped each of them in their clothes, and held it in his hand.He stared at the ashen-faced waitresses who were huddled in every corner of the hall and cursed: "You bastards, although death is not a pity, but I don't want to add more crimes of killing, and you are lucky!" Saobujie hurried back to Xinfatian City, told Brother Nai about the incident in detail, and handed over the head he brought to Changdun for inspection. Even though Chang Dun was sad and attached to the death of his beloved wife, he couldn't show it to the outside. Instead, he rewarded his younger brother and said: "You did a good job, thank you for your hard work!" Then, he sent an urgent envoy to Chunri Mountain to report: "The wife who stayed in the mansion as a hostage recently died of a sudden illness, and will send another hostage in a few days. I would like to inform you." Chang Dun thought to himself, Qingjing must have known the truth of the matter, for each other, it was a shameful scandal to tell others, so let's just let everyone know it well.Unexpectedly, Qingjing was so sad and angry that he was so frantic because of the death of his hard-to-change beloved boy Gensaburo, he couldn't understand Changdun's intentions at all. After he saw the letter, he became even more indignant, and immediately summoned the messenger of Changdun, asking him to bring a message back: "Gen Saburo is my irreplaceable treasure, even if he is guilty, he can't kill him without knowing me. Bujie's hand will have to pay for his life, hand over Sao Bujie!" The emissary reported this, and although the Changdun brothers were angry, they were helpless. They thought that they could not even see the painstaking efforts to save face for each other in such a muddled scene. .The two brothers thought it was useless to talk about this matter, so they simply pretended that there was no such thing, and waited for Qingjing to wake up before talking about it. Unexpectedly, instead of calming down, Qingjing intensified.His love for Genzaburo deepened day by day, and when he thought that he would never see his enchanting face again, he couldn't help but feel sad, and Fujishi, who was wailing in pain and heartbroken all day long, aggravated Qingjing's sadness. "Our sister and brother depended on each other, far away from the capital, and came to this remote country. Now, my younger brother died tragically. How can I be called an older sister? My younger brother is deeply loved by the lord, and he doesn't know the relationship between men and women. The lord knows it very well, presumably it's just for The melody is sung and wandering outside, but the country warriors who don't know sentimental feelings are suspicious of killing him. Thinking that he is young, although he has elegant talents, he is like a child after all. Killing him is like killing a baby. It's so sad! I feel sorry for him Brother, I seem to have seen his miserable life before he died..." Fujizi's crying made Qingjing even more sad and indignant, and his whole mood was confused and excited. "I must avenge this revenge! Definitely, I must avenge Genzaburo!" He sent envoys to Xinfatian City again and again, asking them to hand over Sabusuke, even his head!
Brother Xinfatian didn't hear anything at first, but he couldn't help getting angry when he saw Qingjing pestering him like this. "It's annoying! When will this guy wake up? If he keeps pestering him like this, what should he do?" Chang Dun said. "I don't know the heights of the sky and the earth, I hate him!" "Since you have this heart, what should you do?" "I think as long as that idiot is around, Kasugayama Nagao's family has no hope, but we can't go to Akita either. Brother, let's do it! How about we take refuge in Tochio's Jinghu-kun?" "I think so too. Although Jing Hu-jun is young, he is full of courage and insight. He has fully demonstrated his general strategy in the Battle of Tochio. Okay! Let's take refuge in him and support him as the Lord of Mount Kasuga." "Excellent, my brother also has the same intention." When the two brothers agreed and discussed other matters, Qingjing's messenger came and brought Qingjing's oral order: "I have sent orders to others several times, and you have been prevaricating with various reasons, and you are extremely rude. This time, you will immediately obey the orders, otherwise, as you have become clear about your rebellious and unfaithful hearts, you will send troops to attack immediately!" Sabusuke snorted coldly, glanced at Chang Dun, and suddenly stretched out his hand to twist the messenger's nose. "What are you doing?!" The envoy was shocked and wanted to push away Sao Bujie's hand, but the force of Sao Bujie was so powerful that the envoy couldn't break free.He probably wanted to say "Disrespectful!" But his nose was caught, and he could only utter an indistinct voice. He seemed to want to cut someone with a knife, but Sobusuke had already figured this out, and quickly grabbed his arm with his other hand , shook his knife, looked back at Chang Dun and said, "Brother, I have a good idea, let's use him to reply!" Chang Dun calmly said with a smile, "How do you do it?" "It takes a little effort, leave it to me!" "OK!" "Okay, come on!" Sabusuke grabbed the messenger's nose and arm, and dragged him out of the corridor.Although the messenger was in unbearable pain, he couldn't resist at all, so he was dragged out of the corridor like this. Saobusuke summoned the samurai, and several people rushed to kneel in the courtyard to wait for orders. He kicked the envoy in front of the samurai like kicking a ball. "Put him up on a stake!" Without giving the messenger any room to struggle, the servants rushed forward and tied him to a six-foot-long cross-shaped wooden post with his hands stretched out from side to side. "Raise a charcoal fire and burn the fire chopsticks red. I think ten chopsticks will be enough!" He couldn't help being proud of the idea he had come up with. They brought fire barrels, set up a raging fire, and fanned it desperately with fans. The noon air, which was still lingering in the heat, was shaken by fans, and light blue smoke came out.The thick and long fire chopsticks are inserted into the fire. "Burst it red, otherwise things will be difficult!" Sabusuke said again. The emissary probably knew what kind of fate he was about to encounter, and whined with a pale face, "Don't mess around! I'm an emissary, what do you want to do?!" Sao Bujie laughed loudly and said: "Don't make noise! ​​What are you afraid of now? You should have been mentally prepared! You should have been mentally prepared to be the messenger of that cruel and innocent guy?! If not, You should wake up by now!" After finishing speaking, he turned around and ordered his servants: "After the fire chopsticks are finished, brand the word 'dumb' on his forehead, write it clearly, so that Qing Jing, who has been indulging in wine and sex all day and has blurred vision, can understand clearly. !" In this era of cruel slaughter, it is not uncommon for the enemy to be tortured. What's more, Xinfatian's retainers also sympathized with the master's misfortune and complained about Qingjing's unreasonableness. Hearing the order, he immediately attacked without mercy . The smell of burning flesh, the smoke rising from every stroke, the strange sound of sizzling, and the struggling and groaning of the envoys did not make the warriors frown. "You can be considered a man after all! It hurts when it hurts, call it what you want, and move around! If you are not quiet, even your cheeks and neck will be burnt together." They threateningly wrote on his clean-shaven upper forehead and between his thick eyebrows, carefully writing the words that Scan Bujie ordered. "That's all right! I can't write more clearly." After they were done, they pushed the envoy towards Sao Bujie, and turned his back to Sao Bujie. The word "dumb" was clearly printed on the forehead that was red, swollen and blistered, and Saobusuke smiled and said, "Very good! Well written!" He nodded, and then said, "I'll also decorate the letter box." Groom it! Cut off his nose and ears!" The poor messenger had his ears and nose cut off, and his whole face was bloody and he was driven out of the city.
After the Shibata brothers responded to Kasuga-san in this way, they immediately agreed that Sabusuke would lead two hundred troops to Tochio, and expressed their intention to surrender to Jinghu: "The matter is so and so. Brother Yu has given up Qingjing, and I hope that I belong to King Hujun. My brother should have come forward in person, but at this moment, Jinjin Guoji in Xinshan is about to move, and he is not allowed to leave the city for the time being. Please forgive me! If you are not satisfied with what our brothers have done , you can cut off my head and send it to Kasuga Mountain!" Jing Hu had already learned the story from the secret agent's report, and he fully agreed with the way of breaking up the adulterer and the adulterer. He thought that Chang Dun's way of saving face for both parties afterwards was also very thoughtful, but it was Qing Jing who persisted in pursuing the matter and exposed it to the public. His self-ashamed attitude made him very unhappy. "This is really a disaster! However, Xian Kunzhong's approach is very good, if I will do the same. It's good if you come, and I will help you mediate with Mr. Qingjing." Jinghu accepted the Xinfatian brothers. On the other hand, Qingjing saw the emissary's horrific appearance, and after listening to the report, she became dizzy with anger. "Damn Xinfatian! Doesn't this mean that there is a rebellion, and I can just sit back and watch?! Summon troops and horses quickly!" He immediately ordered the cities to send troops, but everyone thought it was stupid, and no one responded. "Okay! They don't see me as a guardian anymore. If that's the case, I will send troops by myself, and deploy quickly!" Just when he was furious and his headache was about to split, the news came that the Shinbata brothers surrendered to Jinghu, Sabusuke led his troops to Tochio, and Jinghu also took their brothers in!At the same time, the letter sent by Jinghu just arrived. In the letter, Jinghu defended the actions of the Xinfatian brothers, accusing Qingjing of not letting go, which led to the situation. Qingjing's anger reached its peak. "What a Jinghu! He still hates me for letting him be kicked out of the house, but now he is indiscriminate, and he is not talking about me! This kid has a bad temper, and my father knew it a long time ago, but he stood up a little His military exploits, regardless of his seniority, he became arrogant. If his temper is not cured now, he does not know what kind of terrible things he will do in the future! Now I don’t hate Zhaotian, nor am I afraid of Heitian and Jinjin. I only hate Jinghu!" After he roared, he also branded the word "traitor" on the forehead of the messenger messenger sent by Jing Hu, cut off his ears and nose at the same time, and asked him to take the letter back: "Hurry up and hand over the head of the boss, or the brotherhood will be broken." Judgment of righteousness! Treat you as a rebellious accomplice of Xinfatian, and send troops to attack!" Knowing that such a situation might happen, Jing Hu specially sent a small soldier there, but unfortunately it made no difference to Qing Jing.The little soldier returned to Tochio crying. Jing Hu thought: "Is this still my brother? A heartless person!" However, he ignored it.
