The beheaded swordsman carried the corpse out, and the swordsman holding the head walked to a corner, where there seemed to be more than a dozen plates of heads piled up, and someone was pickling them with lime so that they would not rot when passed down later.
Several servants walked to the blood stains of the decapitation, washed it with the prepared buckets, then knelt down and carefully scrubbed the pebbles on the ground.
Kondo Isamu came to another kneeling Ji Samurai, and the man bowed.
"Ma Lai Zhongqing sincerely requests to commit seppuku and apologize!"
Isamu Kondo bowed slightly in return, turned around and walked into the main hall to report on her behalf.
In the main hall, two girls were sitting at the main table.
One has jet black hair and delicate facial features, resembling an Oriental Japanese style porcelain doll, sitting in the middle.
One has skin as white as snow, with three-dimensional facial features, Germanic light eyes and platinum hair. He is holding a knife in his hand and is waiting beside him.
The two of them are Takada Yukino and Tachibana Kanade. The person Tachibana Kanade holds in his hands is Mikazuki Munechika, who was given the right to kill first and then sacrifice after Yoshigan Kyoto granted the Mibu wolf again.
Under the main seat, sitting on the left were Ishida Mitsunari and her cronies, as well as Yuigahama Yui and ten other Hime warriors who were sent out from the Shinsengumi.
The few remaining followers who had not found any problems were still frightened, lowering their heads and holding their breath, feeling uneasy.
There are few people on the right side, only the two big bosses Yagyu Munomi and Momochi Santao who are assisting in the investigation.
Everyone was looking straight ahead and sitting upright in a dignified manner.
Isamu Kondo walked into the room and bowed to Yukino Takada who was sitting in the chair.
Takada Yukino said coldly.
"Anyone else begging for hara-kiri?"
"Hi!"
"Rejected, subsequent personnel will be beheaded according to the list. They are not allowed to commit seppuku and apologize, and there is no need to report again."
Ishida Mitsunari finally couldn't bear it any longer. She stepped out of the queue and bowed, saying.
"Please wait a moment, Lord Takada.
You have killed eleven middle- and high-level warriors. Could you please consider allowing the remaining people to commit seppuku?
Although these people have conclusive evidence of guilt and deserve to die, they are the elites of the family after all. Even if they are guilty, they should be treated with dignity as appropriate."
Ishida Mitsunari was really panicked.
In her plan, the lightest thing for these people is to be expelled, and the worst thing is to commit seppuku.
I have been running the Spozhong Fund for a long time, and I have also cultivated close associates who are ready to take over, and I am not afraid of delaying the official business. Isn’t it beautiful to pull out the carrots of others and take advantage of them yourself?
But Yukino Takada's ruthlessness far exceeded her imagination.
There are twenty-one middle-to-high-level warriors, and the lowest-status one is Baishi Zhixing. The Shiba family has only been around for a few years, and these people are all meritorious officials who have been rewarded in previous wars.
Takada Yukino actually refused to give them a decent apology for committing seppuku, and insisted on using the extremely humiliating method of beheading them in public to bring shame to these people's families.
Ishida Mitsunari was horrified to see it.
She just wants to seize the real power of the Shibachu Foundation, not to form a deadly feud with the families behind these twenty-one people! Takada Yukino is not afraid of trouble and dares to act, but Ishida Mitsunari is afraid!
Takada Yukino's eyes were fixed on Ishida Mitsunari and said slowly.
"Are you interceding on their behalf?"
Her voice was as calm as if she was asking an insignificant question, but Ishida Mitsunari trembled, remembering the warning in the letter from Kamao clan, and closed her mouth tightly, no longer chewing.
Yukino waited for a long time, without waiting for an answer, and then moved his eyes away and glanced at the Ji warriors under the seat.
Everywhere I looked, everyone felt a little uncomfortable,
Even Yagyu Munenomi and Momochi Santafu felt on pins and needles.
After a while, Yukino's cold voice sounded again.
"You think I don't understand the ways of the world and kill without restraint, but how can you get away with it?
Your Majesty is benevolent and considers the hardships of the warrior family, and is willing to share the family fortune with Samurai Shiba Family. You all care about the face of these sinners, but why does no one care about your kindness being stained?
These people, they actually want to destroy the Lord's goodwill, and they dare to covet the wealth that Lord Mo gave to the entire martial arts family of the Shiba family.
They are enemies, the enemies of all our Shiba Kaiki warriors. Do we need to be kind to our enemies? To show sympathy to our enemies is to be cruel to our colleagues and disloyal to our master.
I know that there are many people who are taking advantage of this matter to make profits for themselves. There are both those who are present and those who are not present.
I hope you will listen to me clearly and pass my words carefully to those behind you.
The heads of these people will be circulated throughout the community, and their crimes will be made public.
The welfare of the Shiba Zhong Fund is a gift from the Lord to all the Shiba family martial arts. There will be no next scandal if you dare to make a fuss about the Shiba Zhong Fund."
Ishida Mitsunari's face turned pale.
Takada Yukino's words were not concealed at all, he almost pointed his nose at them and scolded them, the important ministers who share the same leadership with each other, for using the master as a tool to fight for power and gain.
Who can resist this crime?
But remembering the warning from Kamao clan, Ishida Mitsunari gritted his teeth and did not dare to jump up to refute.
Takada Yukino is really unreasonable. If she refutes her words at this time, will she kill her with a knife?
Ishida Mitsunari finally got the actual control of the Shiba Tadashi Foundation, and she still wanted to continue to make progress in the Shiba family. If she died at this time, it would be an unjust death, and she did not dare to gamble.
Takada Yukino stared blankly at Ishida Mitsunari's face, whose face turned green and red, as if he was a dazed young man who didn't know the depth.
Takada Haruno told her that Maeda and Katsuhisa were kept in the dark, and Ishida Mitsunari was forced to fight back, but her intuition told her that this was not the case.
The important ministers are all white lotuses, and all the bad things are done by those twenty-one greedy people? Is it possible?
Everyone is considering their own interests, standing in their own perspective, making the most beneficial choices and saying the most innocent things.
Yukino vaguely felt that her sister was afraid that she would let go and kill people, so she hid something. Thinking of her master who was far away in Kanto, Yukino couldn't help but feel a sore nose.
It is said that the king is ruthless, but the people under his command are affectionate and righteous?
When you hold power, everyone's eyes are on you, observing your every move, pondering your every thought, and thinking about how to use you to benefit themselves.
Even Yukino's sister, who kept saying she loved her master, did not hesitate to assess the situation and seek the best position in this incident, and refused to tell Yukino frankly.
Everyone said they loved him, respected him, and followed him, but the reality was that they speculated on him, coveted him, and used him.
Yukino didn't like this feeling. She stood up just to tell everyone not to go too far!
If you want to do anything dirty in the future, think about these twenty-one heads first, and touch your own neck first. If you want to use the master, first take a look at the knife in my hand, Yukino.
Yukino shouted to Kondo Isamu.
"Why are you still standing there!"
Isamu Kondo bowed deeply.
"I'm so sorry! I'll go right away!"
Ishida Mitsunari bowed and returned to his original position. He closed his eyes from exhaustion and stopped talking.
―――
This winter, Jinzi Gong Ling set off an anti-corruption storm.
Takada Yukino raised his sword and cut off the heads of twenty-one middle and high-level samurai, spreading the word to the three worlds.
The whole Shiba family was shocked. The lower-level warriors clapped their hands and applauded. The letters of apology from the important ministers could not wait for the Hokuriku Coast to thaw, and a swarm of swarms of people delivered them to Dahu City's Shiba Yiyin Bank case from Nakasendo.
―――
Snapped!
Yiyin slammed his palm on the document, knocking the pile of letters to pieces, and a few pieces of paper slowly fell on the tatami at his feet.
"Nonsense!"
At this moment, Yiyin felt extremely regretful as to why he had left this matter to Yukino.
I thought that with the help of Yono, Yukino, who knew the details, would handle the matter properly, shock the situation, and help him stabilize the core tool of Shibachu Fund.
She was so good, she was so shocked that she scared people to the point of peeing!
Naomasa Ii came forward, knelt in front of the Yiyin case, picked up the paper on the tatami, put it back on the case, and said.
"Lord, calm down."
