Chapter 25 Chapter 25 The Wicked Man Disgusting

Ever since he was young, there have been two snakes in Chang'an's heart: one is full of energy, which brings him great luck and makes his dreams come true; The whole body is full of poison.This snake is always looking at everything around with sinister eyes, and once faced with danger, it will spare no effort to bite people with poison.After sending Matsujuro away, Okubo Changan felt at ease, and the latter raised its sharp snake head again. Chang'an intends to use Sodero to urge Arima Harunobu to ask for a reward - Arima naturally firmly believes that Sodero is a rare saint.Let Sodero pretend to have heard about Daihachi Okamoto, and send a letter to Arima. The content of the letter should be like this: I recently met Okuboishi Mimori in Shunfu, and I was shocked to hear about Okubo Ishimi .Mr. Okamoto is quite popular in Edo and Junfu.Let me be troublesome, I would like to ask whether the matter of your lord's reward is true?If this is the case, Okuboishi will see Mori-sama and Honda Uenosuke to speak to the Imperial Palace, and I will be happy to facilitate this matter...

This letter will arrive in a few days via the ship between Sunfu and Nagasaki.When Arima Haruno sees this letter, he will definitely send a letter to Honda Masakami immediately to urge him.At that time, even if Honda wanted to help Okamoto Daihachi, it was too late.When Zhengchun returned from the capital, Chang'an only had to ask him what he planned to do with Okamoto's matter. If Zhengchun was afraid that Chang'an would leak it, he would immediately report to Ieyasu and wait for orders...More Why should others be bothered? Regarding overseas transactions, Jia Kangding will seek Chang'an for questioning.At this time, Chang'an asked to stay in Junfu again, so as to investigate, he was afraid that he would not find any flaws in Honda's integrity?Chang An looked up at the wisteria flowers, couldn't help laughing, and said to himself, "I'm not a wicked person!"

If Chang An knew that the 6,000 taels of silver did not all fall into Okamoto's bag, and Honda Masamune also had a share, he would not be so cruel that he must bring down Masamune. Chang'an will persuade Zhengchun to put all the charges on Okamoto Daibaichi.In any case, Okamoto Daihachi is a villain like Matsuo Matsujuro.To deal with a villain, you should use the method of a villain. These villains are also doing all kinds of evil things in troubled times.During the war, they survived by going to the people's homes to plunder, or stripping off the armor of the war dead to sell.Now that they have lost the battlefield they depend on for survival, they make a living by cheating and abducting everywhere.To deal with this bunch of beasts, we must have the method of taming them.

The only problem is Arima Harunobu.No matter how attached he is to the old collar passed down from his ancestors, as a world-renowned daimyo, his actions are too reckless.It is not that he has lost his skills. When Zhuyin ship was sunk at sea, didn't he attack the Portuguese ship sailing to Nagasaki for revenge?The world says that Arima is brave, but he didn't find out what cargo was on that ship, so he sank his own stuff into the bottom of the sea. If Ieyasu knew the truth, he would be furious.Regardless of whether this is a conspiracy or not, the powerful daimyo was actually cheated out of six thousand taels of silver, and what he did must not be tolerated by the samurai.

But at that time, Chang'an could mediate for Arima: if Ieyasu forced him to cut him seppuku, he could intercede for him; if he was locked up, he could be brought to the eighth prince first, and then we could make a long-term plan. Chang'an shook the gourd, and the wine was gone. He thought about it, first rode a fast horse to Edo Sodero, asked him to write the letter, and hurriedly delivered it to Arima.Then take a good rest for a while, and wait for Jiakang to return.I don't hate anyone, but I just can't tolerate Okamoto Daihachi cheating out of six thousand taels of silver, damn it!

After Chang'an sent a letter to Arima Harunobu through Sodero, he immediately contacted Edo and called Okamoto Daihachi to Junfu. At this time, Ieyasu was in the capital, preparing to watch the new emperor ascend the throne, and then stayed in the capital for about ten days.During this period, in order to clean up the imperial palace, Ieyasu formulated three laws and asked the famous names of Kinki, China, Shikoku and Xiguo to write oaths to manage their territories well and not add chaos to the emperor.Afterwards, he will set foot on his return journey, and he will naturally stop at the completed Nagoya Castle on the way, entrusting the city's principles to Naruse Masanari and Heiwa Mikichi.On the way back to Junfu, it will be the beginning of May.Chang'an plans to finish taking care of Okamoto's August 1 incident before then.

If Honda Masayoshi knew that I had called Okamoto Daihachi to Junfu to investigate, what expression would he have?Chang An found it quite interesting. Okamoto Daiha hurried to Junfu.His appearance was similar to what Chang An had imagined. When he saw Chang An, he took the initiative to sell news: "My lord, the villain has something worth hearing." "Oh? It's worth listening to? You've had a lot of money recently, and you've had a lot of communication! What did you hear?" "The villain heard that once the master of the Imperial Palace returns from the capital, there will be a big earthquake here, and even affect the shogunate."

"You mean Honda and his son and Okubo are going to get rough?" "Don't dare. The acting chief's news is also very well-informed." This person is somewhat similar to Matsuo Matsujuro.His face was as innocent as a child's, and his voice was very clear. Although he always felt a little flippant, he never felt gloomy.Chang An felt that the other party was somewhat similar to himself, so he couldn't help but blurted out: "It looks like you didn't know anything before you came here; in fact, I'm afraid I have to let you live in a cell today, so I called you here."

"Prison...a cell? A villain?" "You seem to want to say that you don't know? But you have a suspicion that can't be washed away." "Oh, that's surprising. What's the matter, please?" "What's the matter? You have several things on your mind? Well, no matter what the situation, Okuboishi Jianshu will be convenient for others. You don't have to hide it from me. Life is like a battlefield, and playing tricks will bring trouble. You can leave it alone I was born after death, and I am also a person who has experienced it." Hearing what Chang'an said, Okamoto Daiha immediately showed a frightened expression.It seems that he is a kind and optimistic villain.He has no distinction between good and evil, but bravely swims in the world, like a koi that disturbs the water in a pond.

Okamoto Daihachi has an outstanding appearance, and his clothes are very luxurious.Accessories large and small, down to seal cages, are strikingly inlaid with gold leaf.If this person was born in the city, he would probably be dressed as gorgeously as Kabuki.However, with his current status, after all, he is a warrior who regards frugality as his virtue, so he still knows some restraint. "Hachi, how do you know Dr. Arima Harunobu?" "Master Arima was kind to the villain when he was in Nagasaki. The villain was ordered by Mr. Honda to inquire about the attack on the Portuguese merchant ship."

"That's when you told Arima-sama those things worth hearing about you?" A gloomy expression flashed across Daba's face, "Master Chief Deputy Officer." "What? Don't change the subject!" "The chief acting official is on the side of the villain. Is that what your lord said just now?" "Yes. I am on the side of justice." "Let's just say it straight. Mr. Arima said that he bravely burned the Portuguese ship. That's all a lie. It was the Portuguese themselves who burned the ship." "Oh. And then..." "That's not the virtue that a samurai should have. Therefore, the villain tested him. The villain told him that this incident will definitely make the Imperial Palace very happy, and will definitely praise Lord Arima..." Chang An nodded with a smile. "Then, Arima-sama asked the bottom line, asking what the so-called praise meant. The villain followed his thoughts and talked about Arima's old collar that was taken away by Ryuzoji..." "Oh. What did Arima give you in return?" Da Ba smiled, "Your Excellency seems to know everything. Three ingots of gold, one piece of brocade, and coral." "You have tasted the sweetness, so you came to blackmail me this time?" "The villain dare not hide it." Da Ba didn't seem to worry about whether he would go to jail at all. "Little people are self-righteous. Coercing evil people is not a coercion. You took the opportunity to blackmail a Portuguese merchant ship when Mr. Arima burned it. This is a crime of beheading. In addition, you also wrote something to Arima, which cannot be ignored. !" "Yes," Da Ba breathed a sigh of relief, "The villain gave him something written in the name of Mr. Honda, saying that he had to do it everywhere. Haha, he took out six thousand taels of silver. There is something special in this world." way of making money." Okubo Changan clapped his hands and ordered his servants to serve the food.He intends to let Okamoto Daihachi speak as much as he can, and then immediately arrest him as a felony, so he has some sympathy for the villain in front of him.Once locked in the cell, this person will never see the light of day again, so let him have a good meal at this time.But Da Ba seems to be completely wrong. Full of confidence, Chang An sympathized with Da Ba from the bottom of his heart, and at the same time persuaded him to drink: "Come, let's talk while drinking." "This... the adult pours the wine himself, and the villain can't afford it. Hey, this wine is really good!" "Silver is six thousand taels. If you use it all for drinking, even your tongue will swell." "No, a villain is nothing compared to a grown-up who lives in a golden house." "Did you also give Lord Honda a share of the pie?" When Da Ba heard this, he took away his wine glass and said with a meaningful smile: "My lord, this villain must explain this matter clearly to you. Your Majesty Honda has no knowledge of this." "Oh? It's amazing." "A real man should not implicate his master." "Dahachi, what do you think will happen if Arima confronts Lord Ueno face to face?" "Hahaha, Arima-sama really does that, and Honda-sama just refuses to know. The villain will also ask Honda-sama, just ask him to answer like this." "You think Arima will keep silent?" "Exactly, how many people in the world would lose face? Besides, the villain still holds some secrets of Mr. Arima." "Oh?" "Master Arima intends to kill Sahei Hasegawa, the governor of Nagasaki who knows the ins and outs of the ship burning incident like the back of his hand." "Nagasaki's order?" "Yes. If someone prevents him from regaining the old collar, even if that person is the elder brother of Mrs. Anakin, the concubine of the Imperial Palace, Lord Arima will get rid of him. Otherwise, what should we do if the evil deeds are exposed? A thousand taels of silver, let his family be ruined, he can't even figure it out. Master Arima is really pitiful. Haha!" "You are very thoughtful! Okay, have another drink!" Daihachi Okamoto's cheeks were flushed, and he drank the wine in his glass without any hesitation. Seeing that he was so upright, Chang An suddenly felt uneasy.If I take advantage of Honda Zhengchun's absence in Junfu and imprison his subordinates, will it cause Zhengchun to fight back?After reading Sodero's letter, Haruma Arima will definitely go to Zhengchun to find out what happened, and I'm afraid he will ask me about Chang'an.Let Da Ba play this first battle... Thinking of this, Chang An felt very happy, and couldn't wait for the good show to take place. "Doctor Arima Osui wants Nagasaki Makoto's order?" "If a person is blinded by desire, he will become extremely terrifying." "You also remember this. But, you know so many secrets, six thousand taels of silver is enough?" "Yes. The price is not bad, my lord? Timing is also very important, my lord. Do you know how Honda and his son plan to frame their opponent Okubo-sama?" "Okubo-sama...you mean Sagami Shouchune-sama?" "Exactly. Sagami Mori is a thorn in Lord Honda's side." "I don't know. How are they planning to frame him?" "Haha! My lord should be more careful. They are talking about your mistakes, and they want you to go around without food." "Oh? Talk about my fault?" "It's not that your lord was wrong, how could your lord be wrong? However, they are looking for it, to see if your lord spent too extravagantly... They are indeed looking for it." "Haha, it's hard to say, I am the man who fought against the mountain in the gold pile! But compared with the general, I only have two or three hundred women." "That's it. Beautifully dressed women are the most likely to make men jealous. Adults don't hug left and right, but those bad things will create that illusion. They may make trouble, envy and jealous, and even Resentment and anger are born. Please be careful, my lord!" Chang'an thought to himself: We must do it!This may be a person's defensive instinct, to act first, we must first get Arima Harunobu to Shunfu as soon as possible, and let him explain clearly about Okamoto Daihachi.Chang'an, who stayed behind in Junfu, has such powers. "Master Honda and his son actually did such a treacherous thing?" Chang'an poured Da Ba a glass of wine himself, "If what you said is true, what should Oku Bao Chang'an do? How should I deal with Honda and his son?" "The villain dare not say it." Daba smiled happily, and the smile was completely innocent, "The villain can only ask the adults to handle it carefully, that's all. No matter what, in today's world, Muramasa's knife is extremely sharp, unparalleled in the world ; Master Uenosuke's mind is faster than that knife." "Haha, if I ask you to mediate, I think you will have to give Master Uenosuke a mountain of gold! That way, you won't just get six thousand taels of silver. This is a good livelihood." "How dare you!" Daba was taken aback, "The villain has no courage. As the saying goes, when two tigers fight, one will be injured. If Lord Ishimishou and Lord Uenosuke, who have power over the world, fight each other, it will bring great disaster to the world. loss." "You are really a good villain!" "This……" "I was almost moved to tears by you." "Then... why is that?" "The request for six thousand taels of silver was probably for your justice at first." "Yes, exactly." "The villain is not you, but Dr. Youmaxiu, isn't it?" "Lord Arima didn't attack the Portuguese ships, but he wanted to take back the three counties of the old territory. This kind of attempt is really abominable!" "Yeah, damn it! But I dare not reprimand him..." "Having said that, if you want to punish him, there are other ways besides taking away the gold and silver. I'm afraid the villain's status is humble, and the adults will not adopt it." "That's why I pity you. With six thousand taels of silver, do you think you have won?" "In front of the general representative's palace, the villain's mood suddenly improved." "That's why I feel sorry for you. Baba! You got six thousand taels and sold your head!" "what?" "Doctor Arima Xiu has already told me how you lied to him!" "That...so stupid things..." "Okay, okay. Come on, drink this cup! It's a good meal today, but tomorrow I'll be in jail." Okamoto Daihachi's expression suddenly became stiff, and his face turned pale in an instant, half smiling, half crying, half crying, as if he was desperate. "My lord, the Chief Prosecutor." "What's wrong?" "What the adults said just now, didn't they tease the villain?" "Hmph! Why am I joking with Mr. Uenosuke Honda's subordinates who are in the midst of the storm? I have to deal with this matter myself, so I sent you from Edo." "..." "I had planned to ask Machi to implement it, but thinking about it, you are quite pitiful, and you are afraid of causing trouble to Mr. Uenosuke, so you should handle it yourself, and then report it to Mr. Daiyusuo. This is for your own good, and it is also for the good of the repair doctor." Big Ba remained silent.He unknowingly told the truth, even if he wanted to repent at this time, it was too late.After that, if he does not rely on Chang'an, he will have no way out.I don't know when, there are some people around - in case there is a murderous attempt, Changan's frail body may be in danger... A three-year-old child also knows this truth. "Da Ba, you are a man after all, so you are lucky to eat this banquet." "My lord..." "Also, if you want to leave a message to your family, or explain where the six thousand taels of silver went, you should tell them clearly." "My lord, the villain has something to say." "What is it?" "That...the six thousand taels of silver. The villain didn't spend it all by himself." "You gave them to others?" "It's... villain, and, in fact... Master Uenosuke Honda also heard about this matter." Changan deliberately laughed, and reprimanded: "Daba, do you think I came to interrogate you without even knowing this? When Mr. Uenosuke heard what you said, I'm afraid he just snorted a few times, how could he take it to heart?" "Yes, it is." "That's good. That doesn't mean he already knows. When things are critical, he will push them away. That's why I said I pity you just now. Lord Ben has been at odds with the mechanic, and you don't know?" After all, tears rolled down Okubo Changan's face...
