An Zheng Prison has begun.
Serizawa Ya and Shinmijijin... were arrested together because they were implicated in certain matters.
It was already a month after Zuocun and Ryuma learned the news.
Zuo Village, who has learned to swim, no longer needs to jump into the sea frequently. As October approaches, the two of them have returned to Tosa.
As a result, I heard the news as soon as I arrived at a hotel.
"Zuocun, what do you think?" Longma asked a question.
"Old Ii, I want to eliminate dissidents..." Zuocun frowned, "It's really... stupid zz persecution."
"I know Naochi Ii... is an extremely moderate, timid person who is polite to foreigners, but for his position in the court... he has very ruthless methods."
"There are dozens of people arrested this time, and the number will probably increase..." Ryuma smacked his tongue, "This is simply a tendency to destroy the discovered talents. Ii Naochi...what is he thinking."
Although Ryuma is now facing the opposition to the shogunate, Ryuma is still very sad for these talents who have been persecuted, imprisoned, or even likely to be executed.
"Just stupid short-sightedness." Zuocun felt that he had never heard of such a Sabi person. "I chose to destroy the future of the entire country for my own desire for power... ridiculous."
"To be honest, I can already foresee how he will die then." Zuocun sneered.
Ii Naoki has already infuriated the public.
Those who anger a country's patriots will always take their lives away.
......
The occurrence of Anzheng Prison has caused everyone to be in danger, especially from Kyoto to Sendai.
Ii Naoki used some tricks and directly sent Higashihashi, Tokugawa Qiaki and others to the end and sent them to prison.
He has been preparing for this day...it has been a long time.
And the new shogun, Tokugawa Ieshiro, who was assisted by him, was only fourteen years old.
However, although Tokugawa Ieshima is very young, he has a lot of experience in politics. When he was only four years old, he became the lord of the Kishu vassal state. At the same time, he was also the grandson of Tokugawa Ieshi, the senior general of the shogunate, and it is legitimate to sit in this position.
After taking office, when I went to visit the Emperor, Tokugawa Ieshima looked at the eldest son Ii Naosuke walking in front of the car and showed an inexplicable smile.
Naochi Ii thought he had found a puppet, but in fact, the Tokugawa Ieshima, who was capable enough to control the Iron Domain when he was young, would he really become Naochi Ii?
In the midst of continuous panic, time is slowly advancing.
The Americans returned to Edo once and discussed many matters with the new general. In 1859, Kanagawa and Nagasaki were also opened to foreigners as harbors.
Zuomura learned to swim. When he was in Tosa, he often went out to sea with the boat. He met many people and took the time to go to the fields again. He spent some money to get a dictionary in Dutch and Japanese.
Afterwards, Zuomura quietly left Tosa after a long night of chatting with Ryuma Sakamoto.
The situation in Japan now is very chaotic, so chaotic that every day my life is terrified.
The craze for learning swordsmanship is even higher, but it brings not only more patriots who awaken their thoughts, but more of them are bandits who learn one move and two moves and become bandits.
The shogunate had no idleness to deal with more things. The vassals were all in charge, and Tokugawa Ieshima, who was not convinced by Ii Naohito's assistance, were everywhere, but they were afraid of the military power of the shogunate.
A lean camel is bigger than a horse, and the shogunate is old, but not everyone can do it.
Until March 3, 1860...
It is a very rare weather in spring.
In the past two years, Ii Naochi has gained power and is full of energy, but it is hidden and still serves as a minister in front of Tokugawa Ishishi.
He has already obtained everything he wants, no need to work harder, just... just enjoy it peacefully.
At this time, Ii Naoki was sitting in the car and was about to climb the city to present a congratulations on the Shangsi Festival.
It was extremely quiet along the way.
The car walked for a long time, and suddenly a sensation came from the front.
Naochi Ii frowned, lifted the curtain of the car, and asked, "Where have we been? What's the reason for this noisy ahead?"
The fully armed disciple bowed slightly: "Sir, we have arrived at Sakurada Gate. As for why it is noisy in front of us, it seems that someone is blocking the road and complaining."
The voices of complaints were holding up front and crying, but when someone approached him—
A dagger was taken out from his wide clothes and directly killed the seemingly high-ranking non-commissioned officer to death.
"Partyrs! Take down Naochi Ini!" He shouted.
A group of crying people instantly turned into evil men holding swords.
"Warning!" someone shouted.
The situation suddenly turned into fire.
At this time, Naochi Ii finally reacted and panickedly wanted to abandon his sedan chair and run away.
But at this moment, a figure suddenly rushed out of the forest on the side.
The person who came was holding his flanks, as if he was flying in the sky.
Naoki Ii was still sitting in the sedan chair, and the man who flew out directly waved his knife.
Zheng--
The sedan was split into two, revealing the shocked Naoki Ii.
The man kicked the upper half of the sedan chair away and killed the soldiers beside him.
After sheathing the flank, he pulled out a dagger from the scabbard on his chest.
"Wait - don't kill me!" Ii Naoki couldn't help but shouted in fear.
The man had no expression on his face.
"I kill you not for hatred, but for the stupid things you have done over the years, which will ruin the future of this country."
The person who came was Zuocun Annuo who had disappeared for two years.
The dagger stabbed without hesitation.
Zuomura cut off Ii Naochi's head and threw it on the ground, looking at it still in front of the riot.
"I had a good idea, but unfortunately I can't do it."
After saying this, Zuocun jumped up again and disappeared into the forest.
After breaking through the soldiers' defense line, the patriots in front finally came to the sedan chair of Ii Naoki.
But the scene in front of him made him stunned.
Four or five corpses that were directly split in half fell on one side, and the sedan chair was split in half. The key to their operation, Naochi Ii, also died with his eyes closed, and his head was lying in the sedan chair.
The blood on the ground can also smell a fishy smell.
This - is there anyone else in this operation?
Before he could think too much, he grabbed Ii Naochi's head with wide eyes and shouted: "The thief has beheaded!"
Then he hugged Ii Naohime's head and ran away.
The soldiers finally controlled the scene and turned around and saw the man running with Naoki Ii and chased him.
The guard mission failed. If even the master's body could not be saved, he might as well commit suicide by septum!
On the other side, Zuo Village, which killed Ii Naoki with thunder, had already arrived at a surrounding village.
Chapter completed!
