After Tokugawa Jiading finished his instructions, he closed his eyes again and said nothing. Everyone exited the room, and Mrs. Atsuji had mist in her eyes, obviously rather worried. I didn't say much else, just talked about the conversation in the hall just now, everyone thought about it.

Just think about it in your own heart, don't make a big mouth and talk nonsense outside!

When he came out of the city, Shimadzu was the first to say goodbye, and he had to go to his father, Shimadzu, to tell him. The young man has seen so many things today that he couldn't digest it for a while. In the city, his sister Atsuhime didn't have time to talk to him, so she could only go home and discuss with her retainers and father.

Kuze Hiroshitsu glanced deeply at Chuemon, and then looked at Matsudaira Qixuan. Obviously, he realized that Songping Qixuan had the intention of competing for the position of prime minister, and he had to go home and think about it, or make some more allies.

As for Chuemon and Matsudaira Qixuan, they don't know what to say. Matsudaira Qixuan's current stand in support of Chuemon, depends on how Chuemon thinks.

The two bowed to each other and said goodbye.

When I got home, there was no change in the size of the family. It's just that they are still talking about Kurosawa's chances and Hori Toshinori. The assassination this morning has spread throughout the city, and everyone is talking about it.

"You're back." Alan heard the report of the servant who opened the way, and brought Ami and Aiko to the door to greet him.

"En!" Chuemon looked at Shimaru, who was following, with an indescribable feeling.

Pulling the child into the house, the family continued to discuss today's affairs, and also asked Chuemon, the shogunate's handling of the matter. What can be done, tomorrow will push people out of the inch.

This matter is so troubled, it will definitely not be so simple to stop. Moreover, the head of Kurosawa's chances of winning is now hanging on the Nihonbashi, which is completely against public opinion. I still don't know how the people all over the world scold the shogunate behind their backs.

"Why don't you persuade Shangqi..." Even Alan could see that it was definitely not a good thing to punish the six assassins so severely at this time.

"Kamizu and Hikone Marquis have a deep and righteous relationship, so I can't persuade them." Chuemon shook his head.

In fact, if the Tokugawa family is still alright, then it is enough to persuade them. Seeing how he was lying on the bed, how could Chuemon open his mouth? If this persuasion is urgent, I can't keep Qi Tokugawa's family from breathing, so he stretches his legs.

Moreover, now it is nothing more than killing a person. Historically, it was a direct attack on the Mito clan, and a general crusade order was issued, with the goal of completely exterminating the Mito clan. What concept? Killed as many as hundreds of thousands of Mito clan, and buried Ii Naobi with him.

It's just that the idea is an idea. Historically, the shogunate did not have the strength to launch military conquests, so it was left to the Mito Domain to jump around. If the shogunate had 20,000 new troops in the shogunate in history, they would have been killed by the flying dragon.

Perhaps history can be changed because the Mito Domain was wiped out. The foreign powers saw that the shogunate still had some strength and was worthy of support, so they would not turn to the southwestern powers.

The shogunate, which suppressed the Mito Domain, gained a window of respite with this **** victory. It may be possible to completely turn into a semi-feudal and semi-colonial government, and then continue.

Well, to put it bluntly, things are different now.

Kurosawa's chance of winning is just an exile who has received the favor of Hori Rishi, and he has no master family, so he can be used by the shogunate to crusade. Then there is no chance for the shogunate to exterminate a country and restore order with terror and bloodshed.

"..." Hearing Chuemon's sigh, Alan stopped talking.

Alan, who was in the center of the Tokugawa shogunate's power and was a woman of the samurai family, naturally had some determination. If you can ask, you can ask, and if you can't ask, you will never talk too much.

"Call me early tomorrow, you have to go to the Hikone Mansion to handle the funeral ceremony." Chuemon turned his head and ordered.

Naobi Ii's funeral was more grand than that of Toshihiro Hori, and the shogunate had to pay for it, which made it happen. This year, the shogunate just took out money. Think about it, the mutiny advanced money, Hori Toshihi's funeral, and Ii Naobi's funeral also received money. This year's financial gap is huge.

Funerals, everyone should be very clear, as long as you are willing to spend money, there is no side at all. There is no such thing as an upper limit. Qin Keqing's board in "A Dream of Red Mansions" is priced at one thousand.

This thousand is the price of the board? Of course not, Xue Pan made it very clear, this is the wages of the craftsman who made the boards for him, and it was just a reward for sending two at will. Banzi didn't ask Jia Zhen for money at all, it was all a friendship between several relatives.

As for the various utensils to be prepared for the funeral for dozens of days, as well as the expenses for ushering in and sending it, you just count it up. I'm only afraid that the last 200,000 taels will not be able to pass.

After dinner, Chuemon was lying on the couch, secretly calculating, and finally fell asleep in the middle of the night...

At the same time, at the bridgehead in Japan, the heads of the three assassins who had been hung up were guarded by three officials from Edo Town, and they were on display.

It was dark at night, and I couldn't see anything else. There was a bean light, flickering, and the three policemen were shivering when the night wind blew. Seeing that there was no one left or right, they gathered together and chatted to pass the time.

Generally speaking, there is no one on duty at night when the head is displayed to the public ~lightnovelpub.net~ and it is unlikely that someone will steal it. But Abe Zhenggai heard that the Tokugawa family was angry and worried that something happened to these heads. Just in case, he sent people to guard.

Abe Zhengwai's calculation is not bad. In the middle of the night, it is not a single person to steal the head, but a group, a large group!

These people are not from a certain group, or from a certain vassal state, they are scattered. Either out of righteous indignation, or out of sympathy, or out of dissatisfaction with the status quo, they came to Nihonbashi by coincidence.

The moon was dark, and dozens or hundreds of dark figures suddenly appeared on the street. If you were a guard, what would you think?

In this part of Japan, I love the legends of warriors turning into grievances. Especially in the Edo period when civic culture flourished, there were countless literary works of this type. Anyone who is an Edo person has seen some stories and performances of the revenge of the vengeful spirits.

Someone shouted, and the sound of chaotic footsteps sounded. One of the three guards ran away first, and then two of them didn't fall behind. They raised their ten hands and waved them in the air twice, shouting "Namo Amitabha." run away.

So the three heads that were hung on the Japanese bridge, especially the heads of Kurosawa's chances of winning, were stolen. When the three police officers ran back to the official hall with their hands and feet, reported to the concentric above, and brought people back, there was nothing left.
