The third wife of Momochi gritted her teeth and did not dare to reply. She couldn't understand why Mitsuhide Akechi could be so arrogant.
She has committed a heinous crime, and the Lord will definitely deal with her when he returns. Seeing her crime exposed, she should be frightened.
How dare she? Why did she dare? So calm. Before he figured out the key, Bai Di San Taifu was unwilling to speak again.
Seeing her silence, Akechi Mitsuhide turned to ask Fujibayashi Mukuro on the side.
"Fujibayashi Muku, have you read this confession?"
Teng Lin Ming kowtowed to the ground and said.
"You know, I don't know anything about the affairs you entrusted to Fujibayashi Xing, and I don't want to read any confessions."
Akechi Mitsuhide nodded with satisfaction, pointed at the third wife of Momochi and cursed.
"Look, this is a sensible person!
Third Taifu of Baidi, let me ask you, apart from you, who among the ninjas under your command has read this confession?"
The third wife of Baidi began to sweat on her head, and she felt something was wrong.
"I completed the interrogation alone, and I was the only one who read the confession. I dare not pretend to do the important tasks entrusted to me by the Lord."
Akechi Mitsuhide nodded.
"Quite sensible.
You should know what you should know. Don’t know what you shouldn’t know.”
Bai Di San Tai Fu tried a sentence.
"Then should the Lord know?"
Akechi Mitsuhide gave her a meaningful look and said.
"Of course my lord knows everything. Even if you don't know, someone will tell you."
Akechi Mitsuhide's words, "The master knows everything," sounded like a thunderbolt in the ears of the third wife of Baiji, and cold sweat oozed from his back and wet his underwear.
Bai Di San Taifu suddenly realized a blind spot in her thinking, that is, she had always thought that the Lord sent her back to investigate because the Lord was deceived and needed to know the truth.
But if no one wants to hide it, and the Lord sends himself back, just to have another channel to verify the authenticity of the information, what does that mean?
Behind what Akechi Mitsuhide did, the Lord was instigating him. Or maybe the Lord had nothing to do with the truth.
Regardless of which of the two possibilities the truth is, the Kyoto Incident and the general's murder are too deep.
Baiji Santaifu was in a state of confusion for a moment. She couldn't believe that her kind and righteous master could be the mastermind behind the Kyoto Incident.
As the leader of the ninjas, she knew very well that there had always been an undercurrent within the Shiba family that was strongly opposed to the Azulispo merger.
If the Lord did not know about this matter, but the important officials of the Shiba family conspired to kill him first and report later, the Lord would not be able to liquidate Mitsuhide Akechi.
Pulling out the carrots and bringing out the mud, who knows how much evil is hidden behind it? The Lord cannot bear the mess that he will face after clearing out the entire top management of Sibo Leader in recent weeks.
Therefore, regardless of whether the master knew it in advance or not, Mitsuhide Akechi would not be afraid if he knew the cause and effect of the whole thing at this time.
When the third husband of Momochi looked at Akechi Mitsuhide's elegant smile again, he subconsciously turned his eyes away, not daring to look directly.
Her little idea of ​​taking the opportunity to bring down the Fujibayashi family was like a child's play compared to the turbulent undercurrents in the Shiba family and the big conspiracy of important ministers to conspire to kill the general.
Akechi Mitsuhide was amused when she saw the third husband of Mochichi was so frightened that he was so frightened. Of course she was not afraid that Shiba Yoshigan would come back to settle the score with her.
First, Sibo Yiyin needs her to complete the plan of occupying the magpie's nest. Sibo's base has been divided, and there is no turning back.
Secondly, when it comes to killing the general, except for Nizi Katsuhisa, no one in the top management of Shiba Leader has been clean in recent times. Even the two allies of Hosokawa Mibuchi were dragged into the ditch by Hosokawa Fujitaka.
If the law does not punish everyone, what can Yoshiki Yoshiba do? Dismantle the entire Konji Shiba Territory to avenge Ashikaga Yoshiteru?
This involves the third point. The Spo family's reputation has been ruined. How will they survive in the future?
Regarding the death of the general, few ministers, powerful local factions, and recent famous figures were innocent. Akechi Mitsuhide's actions were tacitly approved and even cooperated by all parties.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru wants to centralize power and reorganize the feminine style of the Ashikaga Shogun family. Everyone's interests are being harmed, and they all want to stop her. Akechi Mitsuhide is causing trouble, and everyone is happy to help.
But no one expected that Akechi Mitsuhide would simply kill Ashikaga Yoshiteru and let everyone bear the blame for this huge disaster.
If Yoshihiro Shiba comes back to deal with Mitsuhide Akechi, it will be equivalent to admitting to the world's samurai families that the Shiba family is behind this.
Those recent warriors who are not clean themselves will definitely be happy to throw dirty water on the Shiba family and wash their own homes into white lotus flowers.
Is Shiba Yiyin able to do such a stupid thing? He can only face the reality helplessly and let the three good people take the blame.
Let's pretend to be stupid together with everyone, and pour the dirty water of killing the general on the Sanhao family. Follow everyone, you are innocent, I am innocent, everyone is innocent.
Therefore, when Momochi Santao threatened him with a confession, Akechi Mitsuhide just felt it was funny, and he also felt happy to take advantage of Fujibayashi's pain point.
The third wife of Baiji was extremely ruthless, but unfortunately, she was born in a ninja family, and her eyesight was too shallow. Akechi Mitsuhide was more evil than her.
Looking at the confessions scattered on the ground, Akechi Mitsuhide said calmly.
"pick it up."
After Bai Di San Taifu bowed, he quickly picked up all the confessions and respectfully put them back on her case.
Akechi Mitsuhide nodded and asked.
"Just this one?"
Bai Di San Taifu hesitated, took out a few more papers from his body, put them on the case, and said.
"This is the original document. It has the bloody thumbprint of Fujibayashi Xing's confession. Your copy is an attachment to the transcript, and there are only two copies in total."
Akechi Mitsuhide casually copied the two confessions and lit them directly on the candlestick next to the case. The flames ignited on the paper, reflecting her elegant and pretty face.
"I believe you have memorized it. When the master asks, you will just repeat it.
Don't worry, I will admit all the accounts that need to be admitted in front of the Lord. But this confession cannot be kept, it is not good for outsiders to see it."
Momochi Santao looked at the burning confessions and wanted to prevent them from being destroyed, but she could not muster the courage to resist Akechi Mitsuhide.
Akechi Mitsuhide keeps saying that he will admit his account, but now only Fujibayashi Mukuro is in the room. If he turns against him in the future and refuses to admit his account, who will testify for the third husband of Momochi? Fujibayashi Mukuro, who is a dead mother and a dead sister?
Fujibayashi Xing is dead. Without her original confession, the third wife of Momochi will be completely passive without any evidence. But she is too nervous at this time to be tough to the end.
The level between her and Mitsuhide Akechi is too far apart.
Although the Third Taifu of Baidi was granted a security certificate by Yiyin and had a local status of knowing and doing thousands of stones, she was really not qualified to step into the muddy waters in which the upper echelons of various families had joined forces to trap the general to death.
She was confident before, thinking that she had caught Akechi Mitsuhide, and that she had made a great contribution in finding out the truth this time.
But Akechi Mitsuhide's scornful attitude in the face of her evidence made her wake up from her dream in an instant.
It's like if you owe a banker one million, you're screwed. You can spend the rest of your life working as a cow and horse to pay back the money. But if you owe one hundred million, one billion, tens of billions, or even quadrillion, that's no big deal. ?
If the matter is too big, there will be people who will worry about it for you and wipe your buttocks for you.
Shaking his hands and looking at the spark fragments remaining in the confession, Mitsuhide Akechi looked at Momochi Santafu with even stronger eyes.
"If there is nothing else, you can go back to Kanto as soon as possible and give Fujibayashi Xing's confession."
The third wife of Momochi was stunned, Akechi Mitsuhide was telling her to stop here and get out of here. As expected, her confession was burnt, and she turned against him and refused to recognize him.
Her face suddenly became hot and she said something.
"My Lord asked me to find out the truth. I will wait for him to come back in the near future and report as soon as possible."
Akechi Mitsuhide looked at her with confusion.
"What else are you checking? Isn't everything clear?
What? After checking me, it’s not enough. You also need to check Maeda Yoshino, Takada Haruno, or Hosokawa Fujitaka?
Then check all the famous high-level martial arts families in recent times? See how many comrades I have and how many powerful martial arts families in recent years want to kill Mr. Gongfang?"
The third wife of Momochi lowered his head and said nothing, gritting his teeth and not daring to speak. Akechi Mitsuhide was too arrogant.
The conspiracy to kill the general was like killing a chicken in her mouth, and her arrogance was outrageous.
She named these people speciously, which frightened the third wife of Baidi. Would she dare to check those people one by one?
Offending the entire Konki Shiba Territory's top brass, allies, and Konki's powerful lords to death, what good would it do to the Three Taifus of Momochi?
Shiba Yigen just asked her to figure out what happened, and he didn't ask her to come back and light the powder keg. If Mitsuhide Akechi stirred up the fire and caused a turmoil, he wouldn't be able to handle it.
Seeing her cowardly look, Akechi Mitsuhide showed a sarcastic smile and said.
"Since Master Baidi still has a mission, I won't keep you here.
To be continued...
