Edo Traveler

v5 Chapter 20: Who is your lord?

The sound of gongs and drums searching for the mountain is endless, and the remaining snow on the mountain road has not yet cleared. But the temptation of the golden twelve taels is really huge, and the nearby villages within a few miles have been mobilized. There are tens of thousands of men and women, old and young, searching the mountains.

And Shendaiji was the place where General Tokugawa's heavenly leader was. For two hundred years, it was the land of the general's family. The local people are naturally the leaders of the Tokugawa family. As for the previous masters of the Hojo clan, ordinary people may not even know that there is such a existence. They only thought that for generations, Tama County was the territory of the Tokugawa family.

This kind of ordinary people met the "high officials" of the two shogunate Chuemon and Sukeru, and they had a dozen taels of gold, so there was no one who didn't follow their orders, so they turned the mountain over directly.

Chungemon didn't let them come in vain. He bought 30 shi old rice **** and gathered the women from the villages to steam rice balls. As long as those who entered the mountain, they would give two salty rice **** and did not teach them to work hungry.

With such a good thing, there can be no way to do it!

It is not even necessary for Chuemon and Sukeruk to go up the mountain in person. The two only need to wait in Shendaiji Temple, and there will be various mixed news. It was said that I searched for the **** headscarf, and it was said that I found the ribbon that was cut off by the branches. Various discoveries were sent to them one by one.

For those who seized these evidences, Zhu Liu also decided to reward them with one or two golds. Like the women's headscarf, it was obviously made of mixed fabrics left over from cutting clothes. Although it was covered by snow again and soaked in water, the blood stains on it were still clearly visible. Look at this look, it may not even just be smashed.

After a little comparison, the help is registered in the register. There is really no suspense since the case has been carried out. Not a close person, how could it be so unsuspectingly smashed so many times.

Ugh……

Searching the mountain into the afternoon, and finally found the trace of the ronin. And it's funny. In the morning, after the villagers on the left and right were mobilized, the small animals all over the mountains were shocked, and of course the ronin was also shocked.

So the kid ran all the way, but unfortunately he was neither a local, but he broke away from the road and spent a whole day in circles on the spot. Finally, thirsty and hungry, he found it after the sound of water, and after drinking two sips of river water. Only then did I realize that I had been running for a day and had been in circles for a day. The place where he drank water was not far from where he pushed everyone into the water.

On the spot, the ronin was scared to death and exclaimed again and again, which was naturally heard by the villagers who searched the mountain on the left and right. Dozens of people immediately surrounded them, and the ronin was still wielding a knife to smash everyone away and escape to life.

But the reward of ten taels of gold is right in front of him, where the villagers are willing to let him run away from him, pressing on every step of the way. In the end, people are forced into the water, and this man can't know how to water.

After the shoes got wet, he subconsciously looked at his feet, and a villager who was staring at him so energetically jumped up and hit a flail on his head. His head buzzed, and the sky turned around before he threw himself into the water.

The villagers were overjoyed, picked up his package, tied the people into twists, beat gongs and drums, and sent them to Shenda Temple all the way. Look at the time, it's not even dark.

Shuroku immediately asked the previous gangster to come forward to identify it. In fact, among a bunch of tanned villagers, this samurai's white skin was unique and could be recognized at a glance. There is no doubt that the person caught was the man who had socialized with everyone in Edo before.

Later, from his parcel, several pieces of everyone's clothing were found, all made of silk, which was of great value. In addition, the most important thing in this case is the biggest loot recovered by Tademon Kazuru.

A pair of golden bottles!

It is no longer visible from the shape that it is a golden bottle. Two golden bottles weighing more than three catties were violently smashed and turned into two golden lumps. But this thing is not an antique treasure anyway. It's just a wine bottle made more than ten years ago. It doesn't matter if it is divided into eighteen pieces. The weight is just enough.

The culprit undoubtedly helped Liu ordered his family to fetch twelve taels of gold on the spot and rewarded the village chief who captured the ronin. Those dozens of villagers were grateful for their gratitude, and gathered together, but they didn't know how to distribute them. But Chuemon and Sukeruku had no time to take care of them, and the two needed to immediately interrogate the Ronin in front of them.

A bucket of icy cold water was handed over, and the villagers who came down from the mountain continued to watch the trial, as if the bucket of water were pouring on themselves, exclaiming again and again.

"Quiet, quiet, all quiet!" The hooligans who had become the eyesight had done their best, raising the stick as if to hit.

It was precisely because of his presence that the farmers crowded in the field closed their mouths, their eyes widened, watching the woke up Ronin in the field, and want to know the follow-up content.

"First hit ten sticks to kill the mighty stick!" After Zhu Liu saw that ronin awakened, he showed a fierce look and ordered on the spot.

Good boy ~lightnovelpub.net~ went to court, met the chief, still grinning. I want you to see the power of my feudal government office, and let you know what it means to be serious.

Shuroku's family shouted hello in unison, holding a stick, and hitting the ronin. They are all wooden sticks with the thickness of children's arms, and they are beaten in a mess, far more than ten sticks. The ronin, who had been broken by the peasant's flail, was now full of blood.

However, Zhuliu's family members are all husbands, and they have serious injuries. They are all skin injuries, but the pain does not hurt the bones. To hurt the bones and muscles or something, that is another way of playing.

"Huh, this official is Edo Higashizu Yuri, now I'm asking you a question, you can't answer it!" Zhu Liu showed his official prestige and asked from his background.

"..." Ronin took a mouthful of blood, but he was also a stiff mouth.

"Good thief! Fight again!" Zhu Liuxin thought that as soon as he took office, what he would do is all stubborn stuff. It's too bad. Now that there are all witnesses and evidence, this kind of murderer deserves to be killed.

"Cracking..." A dozen sticks went down again, and people didn't have the energy to stop when they came home. A good boy dare to be so unreasonable to my master to prevent you from suffering and make it difficult.

"Is it possible to answer now?" Zhu Liu asked when he saw that the waver's head and face were completely broken, and it was obviously extremely painful. Normal people should have answered it long ago, so he asked again.

"Lao Tzu Maejima Takejiro!" Ronin probably finally realized that the hero doesn't suffer from immediate losses, and replied.

It's a pity that the words and sentences are very hard, but the tone and voice have changed because of several beatings. Don't mention it now, it's like crying.

It does not matter how bad his voice is. After making eye contact with Chungemon for a while, he asked Ronin.

"Can there be a lord?"

"Prime Minister Mito!"
