I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

"It should be thrown off." Panting, Ogata lowered A-Machi on his back to the ground.

As soon as he put Ah-ding on his back back to the ground, Ogata's expression suddenly changed, he quickly turned around to look into the depths of the alley not far away, and stretched his hand towards Da Shitian at his waist.

"...Come out." Ogata said in a deep voice, his eyes fixed on the depths of the alley.

"Hehehe, brother Ogata, Komachi, don't be nervous, it's me."

An old male voice sounded from the depths of the alley.

As the old male voice fell, an old man with a hunched back slowly appeared from the darkness.

"Master Fengmo?!"*2

Ogata and Machi called out the old man's name in unison.

After Fuma fully appeared from the depths of the alley, Ogata and Atachi looked at Fumo, and immediately mixed with extremely strong astonishment.

Because Fuma dragged a dying young man wearing Shiranui's ninja costume with only half breath left...

Chapter 325 Fuma Kotaro, One as Four [3 words updated today]

Kyoto, the execution office, the office of Dapantou Abe Riri.

Abeliri is very depressed now.

Because Mucun escaped.

When he learned from his confidant just now that Mucun had escaped from prison, Abe felt both angry and aggrieved.

Angry at Mucun's escape.

I feel aggrieved because I have no choice but to take out the escaped pastoral village.

Mucun swaggered out of prison with the help of that guy Hasegawa Heizo.

Hasegawa took Mucun out of prison in the name of "needing the prisoner Mucun to assist him in investigating the case".

Hasegawa's reason for taking Mucun out of prison is unassailable.

Abe has nothing to criticize for Hasegawa's almost forcibly taking Mucun out of prison.

Huofu Thief was changed to a special security force, and he already had the privilege of temporarily transferring prisoners related to the case under investigation from prison.

Abe had no reason to protest or stop Hasegawa's act of taking Mucun away.

Thinking of this, Abe felt quite aggrieved.

In order to adjust his emotions, Abe walked slowly to the window and looked at the scenery outside the window.

The window of Abe's office is facing Nijo Castle in the distance.

As long as you stand in front of the window and look out, you can see the magnificent Nijo Imperial Palace.

Looking at the Nijo Imperial Palace in the distance, Abe's eyes flashed with jealousy.

Abe Riri, who is only a big boss in Kyoto, is not eligible to participate in the banquet held in Nijo Castle tonight.

Abeliri raised his hand and stroked his hair on the temples.

Abe's temples were already pale.

Touching the white hair on his temples, Abe couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

He is not young anymore.

So he knew that for the rest of his life, he might not be able to go further and reach the height of being able to participate in a banquet of this level like tonight.

Abe let out another long sigh as he put down his hands touching the white hair on his temples.

"Master Abe!"

At this moment, there was a shout outside the door.

This was the voice of Abe's confidant.

After hearing the call from his confidant, Abe responded immediately:

"Come in."

The paper sliding door was pulled open, and the confidant quickly walked behind Abe who was facing out of the window.

"Abe-sama, someone found Makimura Yahachi on Sanjiji Street."

After hearing the name "Makimura Yahachi", Abe immediately opened his eyes wide, turned around, faced his confidant and said loudly:

"Did you find Yahachi Makimura on Third Prince Street?"

"Yes!"

The confidant used as simple a sentence as possible to explain to Abe as concisely as possible the series of incidents of the unknown explosion on Sanji Street and the nearby officials who went to check and found Yahachi Makimura.

"Are you sure that person is Yahachi Makimura?"

"There are very few people with the height of Yahachi Makimura. I can be sure that the person who appeared on Sanji Street just now is Yahachi Makimura." The confidant replied.

After the voice of his confidant fell, Abe was silent for a while.

Then, a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.

"Go!" Abe said loudly, "Send my order to chase Yahachi Makimura!"

Abeliri is happy now.

He was still troubled by the fact that there was nothing he could do about the escaped Mucun Yahachi just now, but now Mucun Yahachi gave the handle himself.

It is true that Hasegawa can use "case-handling needs" as an excuse to raise Makimura Yahachi from prison.

But that doesn't mean that criminals raised from prison can be allowed to walk down the street.

Now that Yahachi Mucun appeared on the street, Abe had enough reasons to chase Mucun back.

Not only that, after taking Mucun back, Abe can also use the excuse of "taking away the criminal but not guarding him well" to give the elder who dared to sing against him and took Mucun away from prison under his nose. Tani Chuan a harsh impeachment.

Hearing Abe's order, a little hesitation appeared on the face of his confidant.

"Master Abe, the explosion on Sanji Street"

Abe, who knew what his confidant was going to say, took the lead and said:

"After the explosion on Sanzi Street, we will investigate slowly! Chase Yahachi Mucun first!"

Abe's words were mixed with a tone of reprimand.

After noticing the blame in Abe's tone, his confidant hurriedly said in a panic:

"Yes, yes! I will do it immediately!"

"and many more!"

When his confidant was about to leave the room, Abe stopped his confidant.

"I want to go out myself!"

After finishing speaking, Abe took down the Dao that was placed on the knife rack at the side, then carried the Dao and led his confidants to walk quickly out of the room.

Abeliri is very happy now.

He has already started to imagine the scene of capturing Yahachi Makimura again.

The reason why he ordered the arrest of Yahachi Mucun tonight was to complete a perfect plan of "killing three birds with one stone".

One: After capturing Yahachi Makimura, he can feel disgusted with this guy who has been having a bad relationship with him since he became Kyoto Yori.

Two: With Makimura Yahachi as a witness, impeach Kamiyama Koshinosuke for "appointing someone who is not even an official to intervene in a major case".

Three: After successfully impeaching Kamiyama, who has always been against Toda, he can be praised by Toda Tadahiro.

When he learned that Mucun had escaped with Hasegawa's help, Abe thought his perfect plan had gone bankrupt.

But now, the reality before Abe tells Abe: His plan can still be implemented!

And this plan has evolved into a perfect plan of "killing four birds with one stone".

If Yahachi Makimura can be recaptured this time, Heizo Hasegawa, who dared to sing against him tonight, can be impeached for "dereliction of duty, failing to take good care of the criminals transferred from prison, causing the criminals to escape."

This kind of perfect plan of "killing four birds with one stone" is really hard to find even with a lantern.

It is not very difficult to complete this perfect plan, as long as Yahachi Mucun is captured again.

Thinking of this, joy appeared on Abe's face uncontrollably.

Under the impact of this strong joy and excitement, Abe decided to go out in person and lead the team to recover Yahachi Mucun.

Kyoto, Nijo Castle, Ninomaru Garden.

If you say who has the highest status at the banquet tonight, other than Tokugawa Munemu, the daimyo of the Owari Clan, then no matter who you ask, he will definitely answer:

Tadahiro Toda, the governor of Kyoto, and Masahiro Hotta, the governor of Osaka Castle.

The representative of the Osaka Castle Shogunate in Osaka Castle is in charge of the defense of Osaka Castle, and governs the shogunate servants who are on duty in Osaka.At the same time, it monitors the Kansai daimyo, and holds the military command and litigation judgment power in Kansai emergency.

In terms of position level, it is equivalent to that of the Kyoto office.

"Master Hotta! Please!" Toda, who was sitting on the side of Hotta, warmly toasted Hotta again.

After Toda toasted him again, Horita immediately put a smile on his face and responded to Toda's toast.

Toda, who was toasting to Hota, had a smile on his face, but the smile on his face was mixed with a bit of provocation.

Sensing the somewhat provocative look on Toda's face, Hotta instantly felt angry.

Hotta understood what Toda's provocative smile meant. Toda was showing off to him that he had won Tokugawa Munemu's favor again.

After putting down the wine glass, a slight displeasure appeared on Hotta's face.

Horita and Toda are not on good terms.

Toda Takashi is the governor of Kyoto, but has been neglecting his duties. Horita hates this.

Hotta wanted to report Toda more than once.

However, Toda has not made any achievements in his ability to govern. On the contrary, he has always been impeccable in "preventing being reported and impeached by others", and he can't catch Toda if he wants to.

Toda also knew that Hota had been trying to find a way out of him, so while Toda worked harder in every aspect to be leak-proof, he also took every opportunity to provoke Hota, just like just now.

After receiving a few words of praise from Munemu Tokugawa tonight, Toda's face has been filled with pride, and it hasn't dissipated until now.

Looking at Toda's smug face, Hota got angry for no reason.

Because Toda came to toast him again just now, the wine glass on Hotta's table was empty.

Seeing this, the maid at the side quickly ran to Hota's side and refilled Hota's wine glass.

When the maid was pouring wine for Hota, she suddenly turned her head to one side and whispered something in Hota's ear.

When the maid's voice fell, Horita's pupils suddenly shrank.

He turned his head and looked at the maid in surprise.

As for the gaze projected by Hota, the maid deliberately pretended not to see it, poured the wine, and quickly walked away from Hotta's side.

Hotta pursed her lips and fell silent.

After contemplating for a moment, Hotta stood up from behind the table, and then walked quickly to the outside of the banquet.

People around only thought that Hotta might be going for convenience, so no one cared about Hotta's sudden departure.

After quickly leaving the banquet scene, Hotta first pretended to go to the toilet.

After being far away from the banquet scene, he suddenly turned and turned into the back of a big tree.

Behind the big tree stood a middle-aged man.

A middle-aged man who had been waiting here for Hota for a long time.

"Master Hotta." The middle-aged man greeted first.

"Master Shenshan."

Hotta said in a calm tone, he and Kamiyama are just nodding acquaintances, so his tone is a bit cold.

"Let's cut out the pleasantries and get straight to the point. Tell me about your plan to give Toda Tadahiro a sharp blow."

The person standing behind the big tree waiting for Horita to come is none other than Kamiyama Koshinosuke.

At the same time, it was Kamiyama who bribed the maid to ask Hota to go behind this conspicuous tree when she was pouring wine for him.

What Kamiyama asked the maid to pass to Hota was: Kamiyama Koshinosuke wants to discuss with you a plan that can give Toda Tadahiro a sharp blow behind that big tree.
