Bai Di San Taifu knew very well that the trouble of an intelligence leak would not kill him.
He has always been very cautious in doing things. Even if he betrays information, he can only turn a few corners with white gloves and Fujibayashi will not be able to catch him.
The saint has always been kind and trustful in himself, but the final result is nothing more than throwing out a few white gloves as scapegoats, making himself more embarrassed.
But after this incident, the conflict between Momochi Santafu and Fujibayashi Muku was completely stimulated and surfaced.
Fujibayashi's strength is far inferior to that of Momochi Santafu. If she attacks Momochi Santafu at this time, it will not only anger Momochi Santafu, but the actual effect is very poor, and it will also arouse the other party's vigilance.
Momochi Santao didn't know whether Fujibayashi Mukuo had become stupid or had other agendas, but no matter what, this hurdle must be passed first.
Selling information is not fatal. The trouble is that the information was bought by the Maori family, which confirmed internal and external collusion and harmed the interests of the family.
This is a crime that even a senior official like the Third Taifu of Baidi cannot afford to bear at all, and the suspicion must be cleared away.
The Third Taifu of Baidi immediately confessed and admitted that he was lax in his duties. Although he seemed to be honest, he was actually excusing himself.
It is a crime to be lax in governing one's subordinates, but compared to betraying the master's assets to the enemy, the severity of the crime is far different.
Seeing the third husband of Momochi kowtow and plead guilty, with a pitiful look, it is difficult to imagine that she, who looks like a pug in front of me, was once the overlord of Iga, a ruthless person like a snake queen.
Yiyin sighed, but in fact he didn't think Bai Di San Taifu would betray him.
Momochi Santao was one of the first batch of Iga heroes to follow the dragon, and her status and benefits were high, but the Maori family couldn't offer any bargaining chips to bribe her.
Furthermore, the ninjas of the Maori family are just like the retainers of the Maori family. They are known to have a loose alliance. They have many ninjas, such as Zaito, Tokuoka, and Sugihara, and many other ninjas.
How could Momochi Santao be so smart, abandon his position as the leader of the Shiba family ninjas, and go to the Mori ninjas to dig through the trash cans?
Yoshigan glanced at Mukuro Fujibayashi, who was silent next to him, and knew that this incident was probably a mistake, but it was related to the truth about Nizi Katsuhisa's assassination, and Yoshigan could not tolerate any flaws in the investigation.
The confidentiality team is useless. The second child reported that there is a problem with the boss. How can we do this? The third husband of Momochi wants to avoid suspicion, and Fujibayashi Mukuo also wants to avoid suspicion, so he can only be eliminated temporarily.
Yiyin let out a breath.
"You two go down first."
Momochi Santafu and Fujibayashi Muku bowed and left together, Yoshigami shook his head helplessly.
Nizi Shengjiu was killed in early autumn. It was already past the autumn harvest and winter was about to begin.
The people in the Shiba family were very excited. Whether they were good friends with Nizi Katsuhisa or simply didn't like the Shiba family withdrawing from the Western Kingdom strategy, they were all secretly urging them to continue to conquer the Maori family.
The interests of the Western Kingdom are so great that no one is willing to give up on their own initiative. In order to save Katsuhisa Nizi, Yiyin suppressed internal objections.
Now that Nizi Katsuhisa is dead, the Mori family has no way to prove their innocence. Both the Shiba retainers and the Oda retainers are writing letters to advocate for war, and the public is excited.
Especially Hashiba Hideyoshi, in order to prove her innocence, she not only came to Koriyama Castle to attend the funeral of Nizi Katsuhisa, crying heartbrokenly, but also tried her best to take revenge for Nizi Katsuhisa.
Yiyin already felt that it was unable to suppress the outpouring of public opinion. However, the truth of the matter became more and more confusing, and the investigation required more time.
Seeing that the cauldron that killed Nizi Katsuhisa was about to be firmly pinned on the Maori family by public opinion, Yoshigan felt an unspeakable feeling in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong.
Looking calmly at the two ninja leaders leaving the meeting hall, Yoshigami suddenly spoke.
"Come out."
A person appeared from the screen behind him and bowed in salute. It was the leader of Shibama Fu, Yagyu Munenomi.
Yiyin glanced at her and asked.
"What do you think about this matter?"
Yagyu Munaki bowed.
"I am willing to go to the Western Kingdom to find out the truth behind the assassination of Lord Nizi!"
When the sage asked what he thought, Yagyu Munomi didn't dare to answer directly.
Everyone is very clear about the grudge between the third husband of Baiji and the mother and daughter of Fujibayashi.
Back in Iga Country, Momochi Santao killed Fujibayashi's mother, and then used Miyoshi's mutation in killing the general to kill Fujibayashi's sister and trample all Fujibayashi's ninjas under his feet.
What is a blood feud? This is called an unsolvable blood feud.
Even if Fujibayashi Muku cut the third husband of Momochi into pieces with a thousand knives, Yagyu Munenomi would not be surprised. Instead, he would be curious about how she could endure it until today.
The waters within the secrecy team are deep, and Yagyu Muneki has no interest in getting involved.
It is a lowly position to bear the gaze of others, but it is like a well and a river, and everyone has his own territory.
Although the sage is kind and treats both of them as equals in the samurai family, Yagyu Muneki is very self-aware as a person. Talking less and doing more without making mistakes is the right way to be wise and protect yourself.
Yagyu Munomi was young and smart, and he chose the right master and the right person early on.
From choosing the Shiba family in the Battle of Yamato, to bowing his head and obeying the little girl Yukino Takada as the boss, to following Nizi Katsuhisa to carefully guard the Kinki Shiba territory, Yagyu Munenori never made a mistake.
The Yagyu-gumi of Muneniki Yagyu has always been led by Nizi Katsuhisa and is responsible for the internal stability and suppression of the Kinki Shiba Territory. It is an internal security system independent of the intelligence system.
Although before Katsuhisa Niko returned to the Western Kingdom, he had resigned from the post of acting magistrate of Kinki Shiba and was replaced by Mitsuhide Akechi.
But as Yagyu Muneki, as an old subordinate of Nizi Katsuhisa, her relationship is too close and her connections are too close. If she is asked to be responsible for the investigation, she must be careful.
Yagyu Munenomi listened for a long time behind the screen and had already thought through the sage's thoughts. Instead of waiting for the sage's order, he might as well take the initiative to ask for help.
Anyway, this matter cannot be avoided. It is better to take the initiative and gain more favor and support from the saints.
Yiyin thought for a while and asked.
"It is very difficult to go to the Western Kingdom. I am very pleased that you are willing to take on this important task.
So, do you have anything else to ask for?"
Yagyu Munaki bowed.
"The assassination of Lord Nizi Shengjiu happened far away in the Western Kingdom, and the situation was very complicated.
The Yagyu group still needs to maintain the daily work of Kinki Shiba Territory and cannot allocate too many manpower.
I would like to ask for the support of Takada Yukino-sama and the participation of the Shinsengumi to jointly investigate the truth."
Yagyu Munaki knew in his heart that it was difficult to investigate the case of Nizi Katsuhisa's back stabbing.
Many bigwigs from the Shiba Oda family hope to place the blame on the Mori family, so that they can continue to advance the Western Kingdom strategy without any scruples and strive for maximum benefits.
Baidi Santaifu only investigated for a month or two, and then he was disgraced and found out that his subordinates were reselling information. It is difficult to say that there is nothing fishy in it.
Yagyu Munomi didn't want to offend anyone, but she was an old subordinate of Nizi Katsuhisa. The saint asked him to go on an errand by name, but he couldn't refuse at all, let alone get along with her.
Nizi Katsuhisa is dead, but the Nizi Mountain Party is still there and is still a big part of Shiba's family. Yagyu Munenomi herself bears the label of Nizi Katsuhisa, how dare she not be careful?
But if you stand out, if something goes wrong, the Yagyu team's small shoulders cannot bear such a big thunder, it will be really fatal.
Yagyu Muneniki proposed to let the Shinsengumi participate. It was not that there was a lack of Shinsengumi members, but that there was a lack of Takada Yukino, a super boss who could suppress the bosses of all parties.
The Shiba family's ninja pay system originated from the Kinki Shiba territory that the saint received as a reward from the shogunate for his outstanding military exploits.
The two groups of the old Iga clan, Momochi Santao and the Fujibayashi sisters, formed the military group and the central group respectively, and then unified and merged into the confidentiality group after the Miyoshi murder of the general.
The Iga ninjas, dominated by the Hyakuchi Fuji Forest, constitute the main force of the Shiba family's intelligence system.
In terms of payment, it is another system.
Yagyu Munenomi serves as the head of the Yagyu-gumi, but he is not the head of the Shiba family. He is the nominal head of the family, and the leading eldest sister is Takada Yukino.
And Takada Yukino is a hands-off shopkeeper who never pays attention to the affairs of the Yagyu-gumi. He only exists as a close minister of the Shiba family staying in Kyoto to accompany General Ashikaga Yoshiteru.
Miyoshi killed the general, Ashikaga Yoshiteru died in Nijo Castle, and Takada Yukino became the saint's personal attendant, but he still didn't like to talk to the Yagyu-gumi.
It was not until Ashikaga Yoshiaki was supported by the Shiba Oda family and Kamiro succeeded to the throne, which intensified the political struggle among the three parties of Ashikaga and Oda, and damaged the reputation of the saint, that Yukino Takada was reminded of the Yagyu group.
Takada Yukino asked Yagyu Munomi to follow him to Luo to kill people. Of course, Yagyu Munomi would not violate the saint's order and follow her to do mischief.
As a result, Takada Yukino ran to Sakai Port, persuaded her sister Takada Haruno to pay for the lives of a group of ronin swordsmen, and went to Luo to commit a act of Heavenly Punishment that shocked everyone.
Miburou became famous in the first battle, Takada Yukino was seriously injured and was on the verge of death, the saint's temper became violent while protecting the calf, and Yagyu Munomiki was punished instead.
This incident also made Yagyu Muneki understand how thick Takada Yukino's thighs really are.
After that, Miburou replaced Yuigahama Yui, became the leader of the Shinsengumi, and became Takada Yukino's private soldier.
Although Takada Yukino was deprived of the title of Mesuke's leader by the saint, he still held the Mikazuki Munechika in his hand and had the power to punish those who rebelled as a king.
Up to now, Tachibana Kano is serving the saint with Mikazuki Munechika, and the Shinsengumi is staying in Sakai Port with Takada Yukino.
It seems that Takada Yukino has faded out of the center, but in fact she has always been the most trusted minister of the saint, and she has the best weapon to kill people.
The sage has a kind face and kind eyes, but there are also times when King Kong's eyes are angry. Whenever he encounters trouble, the sage will let Takada Yukino and the Mibu wolves, a bunch of crazy dogs, come out to bite people.
Takada Yukino's hands were stained with blood, and both his enemies and colleagues were terrified.
Yagyu Muneniki felt that his shoulders could not bear such a big pot, but as long as Takada Yukino was in front of him, it would be easy.
The Shinsengumi is dispatched, and the Mibu wolves are dispatched. They never return the scabbard without seeing blood. Without dozens of human heads, these vicious dogs will not return to their dens.
Since the saint is determined to find out the truth, the best way is to use Takada Yukino's internal defense ace and pay attention to the leader.
Yoshigan looked at Yagyu Munenomi who was lying on the ground and narrowed his eyes. If possible, he really didn't want to use Yukino's people.
Yoshigan is very clear about Yukino's temperament.
That girl has never known right or wrong in her heart, only killing or not killing. With her amazing talent and beast-like intuition, she can always find the key to the problem unexpectedly and solve it with a single blow.
Even though Yukino seems to be cute and silly on weekdays, it's just that she can't muster the energy for many people and things. In her heart, there are only two people in the world that she cares about, and that is Yoshigami and Haruno.
A pure swordsman like this who is not bound by the rules of the world, uses physical destruction to solve problems, and kills people like drinking water should not be in the world.
That ice doll with an indifferent face has no right or wrong in his heart. He doesn't distinguish between right and wrong. He only kills people for the people he cares about. He is a pervert without any psychological burden.
Even if Yiyin knew that she loved him miserably, he still felt scared and did not dare to leave things to her casually.
On the way to the world, Shiba Tenka has already taken shape, and the political situation has become increasingly complicated. Once Yukino intervenes, the situation will always lead to a bloody ending, and the fortune and misfortune are unpredictable.
Muneniki Yagyu regards Takada Yukino as the saint’s trump card, which is right or wrong.
Yoshigan had always regarded Yukino as his beloved little sister, but this little sister was so destructive that Yoshigan himself felt scared and did not dare to give her the freedom to move easily.
After thinking for a while, Yiyin said.
"The Shinsengumi is full of talents. Kondo, Hijikata, and Okita are all talented people. Since you are short of people, I will order them to cooperate fully.
Yukino has been in poor health, winter is about to come, and old injuries will relapse every time the weather changes, so don’t disturb her rest."
"Hi!"
Yagyu Munenomi was a little disappointed that he couldn't pull out Takada Yukino, the god of death, and many things might not be easy to handle.
But the sage had already said this, and Yagyu Munomi did not dare to raise any unreasonable thoughts.
Takada Yukino doesn't show up, but the hungry wolves of the Shinsengumi are just as useful. They can handle the dirty work, even if it offends people, and they can also handle the big thunder.
Yagyu Munenomi already had some concerns in his mind, so he simply accepted the task.
Yoshigan explained a few more words, then waved Yagyu Munomi to leave.
After she left, Yiyin couldn't help but show a trace of fatigue. After the initial anger and sadness, Yiyin had calmed down a lot now.
Especially after Fujibayashi Muku's report, Momochi Santao's frustration, and Yagyu Munenomi's caution, Yoshigan saw the situation more clearly.
He already had a glimmer of understanding, Nizi Katsuhisa might not have been harmed by the Mori family, and the secret arrow might have come from within himself, but he didn't know whether it was Shiba or Oda.
For this reason, Yoshigami did not dare to let Takada Yukino investigate. He was afraid that this pure knife would directly attack his family and ruin the overall situation.
Yiyin smiled bitterly, he had to face a reality at this moment.
If the assassination was really done by one of our own people, then Nizi Shengjiu was killed by him.
Because Yoshihiro was concerned, it led to chaos, and he took the initiative to make huge concessions to the Mori family, which hurt the interests of the Shiba Oda family, so some people wanted Nizi Katsuhisa not to come back.
The clearer the logic, the more painful Yiyin felt. It was he who underestimated his own influence, overestimated his power, and harmed the interests of the Wu family, leading to the death of Nizi Shengjiu.
Yiyin sighed and decided that no matter what the truth of the matter was, the Maori family must swallow this dead rat and bear the blame.
Yoshigan decided to personally conquer the Western Kingdom, conquer the Izumo Kingdom, and destroy the Maori Miao characters in order to alleviate his guilt for Nizi Katsuhisa.
The blame must be placed on the Mori family. Even if Munenomi Yagyu finally finds out the murderer, Yoshigan can only find other reasons to deal with the murderer. Nizi Katsuhisa's death must be at the hands of the Mori family.
This is the helplessness of those in power. The interests of the Western Kingdom are too great, and even the sage has no right to ask the Shiba Oda family to give up the Hime Warriors.
The saint has harmed everyone's interests, and no one dares to show his teeth to the saint, but the people sent by the saint to do things cannot be guaranteed to be safe.
Nizi Katsuhisa died because of him, and Yi Gin could only swallow his regret and sadness, and warned himself not to make such a stupid mistake again.
I do have a lot of power, but the results of using my power may not go in the direction I want.
Power is a double-edged sword. For the sake of the people you care about, you must exercise your power more carefully in order to protect the people you care about.
Yiyin sighed, and finally decided to comply with the voice of the people, conquer Maori, and avenge Nizi Shengjiu.
