Chapter 440 Surprising Shogunate National Conditions
"Damn it!"
Kashas' face was gloomy, with anger burning in his eyes, "If Kitamura Lei secretly returned to Wenshui County and met with Takeda Ryoko in private, not to mess with his father, then there can only be one possibility - Kitamura Lei represents the entire
The Kitamura family secretly went to discuss cooperation with Takeda Ryoko! Bastards!!"
"cooperate?"
Kane was full of surprise, "Why would the Kitamura family cooperate with Takeda Ryoko? Aren't they cooperating with our Minos family to fight against Takeda Ryoko?"
"Our Minos family is finished. Their Beicun family is the number one family in Wenshui County."
Kashas's voice was cold, "On the surface, he told us to join forces to fight against Takeda Ryoko and oust the young county owner in Wenshui County. In fact, he talked about cooperation with Takeda Ryoko and wanted to harm our Minos family.
Hehe, Kosuke Kitamura, you bastard’s plan is really loud.”
"Master, what should we do?!"
When Kane heard this, he became extremely anxious.
"What's the rush? I have my own solution."
Kashas glanced at him but didn't say much.
The spies' accusation was to gather information, not to discuss strategies with the family head.
Kane's identity has not yet reached the level of counselor and staff.
"Oh, Kitamura Kosuke..."
Kashas looked at the bright moon in the distance, and there was a bit of coldness in his golden eyes.
If you don't respect morality first, then don't blame me, the Minos family, for overturning the table!
…
…
Wenshui County, a deserted suburb outside the city.
In a forest filled with the smell of blood, the moonlight was not visible, and it was dark and dark.
Lei Kitamura looked at...or rather, Li Guanqi looked at the bloody corpses on the ground next to him, then looked at Sophia beside him, and asked through soul transmission: "How many spies ran out?"
"6."
Sophia replied.
"Are you sure there's no one around?"
Li Guanqi looked around and asked softly.
"No more."
Sophia used the laws of space to carefully feel the area, and then nodded, "There is absolutely no one left."
"Then our first step will be considered basically successful."
Li Guanqi raised his head, looked at the scattered moonlight through the layers of treetops, and chuckled: "The next step is to wait for public opinion to ferment. Once suspicion arises, it will spread quickly, throughout Wenshui County.
Trust in the Kitamura family will decline rapidly, especially the Minos family. They will definitely do something. "
"Then what's our second step?"
Sophia looked at Li Guanqi curiously.
“Continue to build on the impact of this incident.”
Li Guanqi smiled indifferently, "The matter of letting the Kitamura family cooperate with Takeda Ryoko is completely finalized and everyone is convinced."
"But this is something we will do in a few days."
"In the past few days, we just need to wait for the major families' suspicion of the Kitamura family to reach a point, and then our second step is to completely detonate this point."
…
…
3 days later.
early morning.
The sun is shining brightly in the streets of Wenshui County. As a custom of the locals, it is a basic operation to have a cup of the unique local Wenshui tea in the early morning.
The teahouse is often a place where ordinary people exchange gossip and rumors. All kinds of true and false things, and things they have made up, can become conversation topics, and they can chat for hours.
"Hey, have you heard? I heard that the young head of the Kitamura family, Kitamura Lei, suddenly came back three days ago, and even secretly met with the new county head in private."
A middle-aged man took a sip of tea and said mysteriously to several tea guests at the same table.
"Have you heard about it too?"
The young man in gray clothes next to him was holding tea and was slightly startled.
"What? You also know?"
The middle-aged man was a little surprised.
"I, I, I know too!"
Another companion in blue clothes smiled, and his smile looked a little vulgar, "And, I heard that they didn't just meet in private. It was said that Kitamura Lei and the new county lord were old friends. Three days ago, they not only met in private, but also slept with each other.
, I heard that that night, the new county master was shouting at the county master’s mansion all night long!”
"Forehead……"
The middle-aged man who spoke first was obviously confused, "By the way, where did you hear this news? It's a bit wild."
"This is real! It's more real than pearls!"
The tea guest in blue put down his tea bowl and said seriously: "This matter has spread among all the wealthy families. My cousin who works as a guard at the Kawashima family said that the senior officials of the Kawashima family opened the tea bowl for three days in a row.
The family meeting is all about this matter."
"But, Kitamura Lei is back, what does it have to do with the Kawashima family?"
The young man in gray clothes scratched his head in surprise.
"Because Kitamura Lei met the new county chief in private!"
The tea guest in blue looked around, then approached his companions at the table, and lowered his voice mysteriously, "Then what is the relationship between Kitamura Lei and his father? There is almost no relationship, and the two of them almost broke up two years ago.
Now is such a good opportunity. His old friend has become the new county head. He must come back to help his old friend and mess with his father.
How can these big families have clean hands?
Outsiders can't find evidence, but he, the son, can't find evidence?
When he gets the evidence and helps Takeda Ryoko send his father to prison, or directly lets the law enforcement department kill him on the spot, then he, Kitamura Rai, will be the next generation head of the family!
Then Takeda Ryoko was his old sweetheart, and the two of them joined forces. Wasn't it the couple who had the final say in Wenshui County?
Therefore, not only the Kawashima family, but also many families began to discuss whether to show goodwill to Takeda Ryoko in advance.
After all, in the past two months, the Kitamura family and the Minos family have joined forces, and they have also joined forces with other small families to fight against Takeda Ryoko, the new county owner who has just arrived.
Then when Kitamura Kosuke is finished, Kitamura Rai becomes the head of the family, the Kitamura family changes dynasties, and the Kitamura family and Takeda Ryoko become a family, then won't these small families like them have to be settled by the Queen in turn?
Isn't this nonsense?
Ah, you said you wanted to unite to fight against the county boss. I listened to you and offended the county boss. Then you changed the head of the family now. Your Beicun family and the county boss suddenly became a family again. What should we do?
So there must be a family meeting to discuss it, they don’t want to get nothing but a mouthful of mud.”
"Isn't it right?"
The young man in gray looked suspicious.
"That's right, how is that possible?"
The middle-aged man also shook his head, "Takeda Ryoko is the airborne county lord sent by the Takeda family. Hey, the Takeda family, one of the nine Sakura warriors, can you like Kitamura Lei?"
"It's not about getting married. Kitamura Lei is so handsome. What woman doesn't want to have some fun?"
The tea guest in blue took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and continued: "What's more, Takeda Ryoko was sent by her family to be the county leader. It was a family assessment. She must do a good job if she wants to complete the task.
But what's going on now?
The Kitamura family and the Minos family relied on their status as local gangsters to unite against Takeda Ryoko. Takeda Ryoko said he was the head of the county, but in fact he couldn't do anything.
If this continues, the family assessment and designation will be doomed.
Regardless of whether the fact that Kitamura Rai is Takeda Ryoko's old friend is true or false, putting aside this matter, it is reasonable and reasonable for Kitamura Rai and Takeda Ryoko to join forces, each getting what they need.
So, based on these news, it’s hard to say whether Kitamura Rai and Takeda Ryoko had an affair, but I guess the news about them joining forces is not gone.
Wenshui County will definitely have big events next.
I guess Kitamura Kosuke is finished for a few days, and then..."
"ridiculous!"
Before the tea guest in blue finished speaking, a slightly contemptuous voice came from the next table.
"Um?"
The tea guest in blue frowned, turned his head and looked displeased at the only man in black at the table, "Brother, what do you have to say?"
"You still don't know the efficiency of our shogunate's law enforcement department?"
The man in black held the tea bowl and chuckled: "Then if Lei Kitamura really wanted to bring down his father, why did he wait so long?
The Kitamura family and the Minos family joined forces to get the county governor. The county governor didn't say anything, but he was actually very angry.
Coupled with her background from the Takeda family.
If she really wanted to get the evidence that Kosuke Kitamura violated the "Sakura Law", let alone the past few days, it is estimated that the evidence obtained in the morning would have been rushed over by the law enforcement department before lunch time.
But now three days have passed and there is still no movement at all, which means that Kitamura Lei has not given any evidence at all.
Then Kitamura Lei refused to give evidence and met with the county boss in private. Why?
Not to cooperate with the county lord to take down his father, but to represent the entire Kitamura family and secretly cooperate with the county lord to prepare to join forces to take down the Minos family!
When those tauren are finished, won't his Beicun family become the number one family in Wenshui County?"
After saying that, the man in black took a sip of tea and looked calm.
"It's really fake..."
The middle-aged man and the young man in gray looked at each other in astonishment.
"But doesn't the Kitamura family cooperate with the Minos family?"
The middle-aged man scratched his head in confusion.
"So, the Kitamura family openly cooperated with those Minotaurs, but secretly secretly hooked up with the county boss to get rid of those Minotaurs?"
The young man in gray clothes said hesitantly.
"Oh my god..."
The middle-aged man was completely shocked, "Those guys named Kitamura are too hypocritical, they don't have any morality at all!"
"joke!"
At this time, the young man in black at the next table laughed coldly, "Do you remember, the price of food suddenly increased a while ago, starving Luohe Village, and so many people in the mountains of Maoye Village, all because of the Kitamura family.
Just to show off to the county boss, they don’t even care about the life and death of us people for their own purposes, and they still talk about credibility and loyalty?"
"asshole!"
The young man in gray had an angry look on his face and slapped the table hard.
For Wenshui County, the nature of such a discussion about the local wealthy Beicun family is no less than the discussion of government affairs in the streets of the Daluo Dynasty.
Because of this, the conversation at their table had actually attracted the attention of everyone in the teahouse.
However, this phenomenon is not an isolated case.
In these three days, this kind of thing happened frequently. In addition to teahouses, pubs, restaurants, theaters and other places where many people gathered, this matter was the best talking point.
We can chat for half a day.
When this rumor first came out, the common people and various different blood families thought that Kitamura Lei was going to unseat his father and replace him himself.
However, as three days passed and no one from the Law Enforcement Department came, people gradually understood that this was not the case.
Kitamura Lei went to have private talks with the county lord on behalf of the Kitamura family.
The Beicun family wants to join forces with the county boss to overthrow the Minos family, and then form a dominant family situation in Wenshui County!
…
…
In Wenshui County, the strongest force among the Sakura people is the Kitamura family.
However, the local people who have taken root in Wenshui County the longest are actually the Kawashima family.
As early as hundreds of years before Wenshui County was upgraded to a county, or even a city, and was just a "Wenshui Town", the Kawashima family had already settled here. In this area, they were far more popular than the Kitamura family.
At this time, a group of senior officials gathered in the Kawashima family residence and were discussing the recent rumors.
"Do you think that Kitamura Lei is real or fake?"
The head of the Kawashima family sat on the main seat and spoke calmly to the dozen clan elders around him.
The head of the family was dressed in white and looked very young, with a bit of a scholarly temperament.
In fact, as the head of the family, he is indeed very young. He is only 39 years old this year, and he has taken the position of the head of the family with a cultivation level of four elephants.
"What the spies have seen with their own eyes, what else is there to discuss about whether it's true or not?"
A clan elder looked grim and shouted loudly: "What we should consider now is not whether it is true or not, but what should our Kawashima family do if this matter succeeds and the Kitamura family and Takeda Ryoko join forces to overthrow the Minos family.
Be at home!"
"The Kitamura family's intention to annex has been obvious since a hundred years ago."
Another clan elder gritted his teeth and looked ugly, "It's just because of the constraints of the Minos family that the Kitamura family has not taken action for so many years.
If the Minos family is really doomed and Wenshui County becomes dominated by the Kitamura family, not to mention our Kawashima family, I am afraid that all the different blood families in Wenshui County will be completely annexed by the Kitamura family.
Lose the family flag and become a vassal!"
"Those tauren cannot fall!"
A clan elder said in a deep voice: "Without the group of tauren and other sub-races, it will be difficult to maintain the balance of power in Wenshui County. If the Beicun family and the Minos family can only survive one, then those who remain,
It can only be the Minos family.
Based on the current national conditions of our shogunate, if that group of tauren really become the first family in Wenshui County, then the superiors will soon send people to support the rise of our Sakura people's families and compete with those orcs.
After all, the ministers in the palace will not allow a county to be controlled by orcs...just like Anno County back then, right?"
"So things are clear."
The head of the Kawashima family glanced around, looked at the many clan elders, and said with a smile: "If the Minos family dies and the Beicun family becomes the first family in Wenshui County, once such a situation happens, it will be harmful to our Kawashima family.
profit, and may even cease to exist.
instead.
If the Kitamura family is finished and the Minos family becomes number one, it will be of great benefit to our Kawashima family.
Even if our Sakura people in Wenshui County will be trampled under the feet of those tauren in a short period of time, the palace ministers will definitely notice this phenomenon and then allocate resources to support the families of the local Sakura people.
As the Kenta elder said just now, we can refer to Anno Prefecture more than 50 years ago.
If the Minos family really became the first family in Wenshui County, then the court minister's method of disposal should be to force the Lord Takeda to allocate many resources in the city to the most virtuous and respected Sakura family in the area.
...that is, our Kawashima family.
Then, the palace will secretly allocate resources to help our family, and a Liuhe-level existence will appear to compete with the old bull of the Minos family.
Isn’t this an opportunity for rise?
Everyone!"
The head of the Kawashima family stood up and looked at the clan elders around him with an excited smile on his face, "This time is an opportunity for our Kawashima family to rise, and it is an important opportunity that will never be lost!
The Beicun family is double-dealing, doing one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes, and has lost its credibility in Wenshui County.
And the most important thing is that if we can think of it, other families can think of it too.
——If the Kitamura family is allowed to gain power, all families in the county will be destroyed.
With such a matter of life and death, each family would not allow the Kitamura family to overthrow the Minos family.
So in the past, various families would not pay attention to us, let alone unite as one, but the situation is different now. Now our Kawashima family only needs to raise our arms and shout, and we can easily gain the support of other families!
The Kawashima family will definitely not be able to collect the evidence that the Kitamura family violated the "Sakura Law".
But I don't believe in the Kitamura family's management over the past hundreds of years. He can really be so clean and leave no trace behind.
If our Kawashima family can take this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to unite all the families in the county, then by piecing together the evidence held by each family, we will surely be able to piece together a complete piece of evidence.
A piece of evidence that can cause the Kitamura family to collapse!
That’s it!”
When the head of the Kawashima family said this, his expression became more and more excited, "I will secretly summon all the family heads. I will personally write the invitation letter and state the pros and cons in the letter. By then, all families will definitely agree to join forces!"
"It won't work."
Suddenly, a gray-haired clan elder shook his head, "Even if we unite all the families, the evidence we have cannot bring down the Beicun family. Otherwise, a hundred years ago, when the Beicun family planned to annex each family, we would have
We have jointly reported him."
"What?"
The face of the head of the Kawashima family changed slightly.
"Master, you are too young and you don't know some things."
The clan elder looked at the head of the Kawashima family and said in a deep voice: "As early as a hundred years ago, each of our families was preparing to do this, but in the end we found that the evidence chain composed by each of our families was missing the most important link.
To fill in this link, we must obtain the support of the county boss. The power in his hands can help us jump through this link with the Law Enforcement Department.
But a hundred years ago, that generation of county lords did not want to change the pattern of the county in which the Kitamura family and the Minos family stood side by side, so they rejected us.
But fortunately, the Minos family at that time did not want to see the Kitamura family annexing other families to increase its strength, so they stood up and destroyed the Kitamura family's annexation move.
Until today, hundreds of years have passed.
The Kitamura family's chance to overthrow the Minos family has come.
But today, the county leader has also changed.
Now, the Kitamura family has joined forces with the county lord, and every family in the county is in danger.
In other words, the various families have united again and the opportunity for joint prosecution has arisen again.
But the missing piece of evidence is still missing.
Head of the family, if you want to complete this matter, it is not impossible, but you must let the woman named Takeda Ryoko change her attitude and let her, as the head of the county, support our Kawashima family and make up for the missing part for us.
Ring evidence.”
"..."
The head of the Kawashima family frowned slightly and seemed to be deep in thought.
But after a while, his brows gradually widened, "Why not?"
"The fight between the people and the government is not a beautiful thing after all. Maybe we can take this opportunity to completely stand on the same line as the county leader and become a community of interests where everyone is prosperous and everyone suffers."
