Chapter 572 Identity exposed! Stop pretending! I am the governor!

Such a rare and thought-provoking scene naturally attracted a large number of onlookers.

They were intimidated by the fierce aura of the sergeants and did not dare to approach. They all stood far away and stretched their necks to watch.

Needless to say, the expression shown by Matsudaira Yongho in this moment can be summed up in one word - the best interpretation of words such as "serious" and "dignified".

As for Inaba Masakuni, who was walking side by side with him...the frowned eyebrows, the stiff facial lines, and the indignant expression seemed to know for the first time that there was evil in the world.

"Chang, Nagato-sama...?"

Nengshi Liangbi asked softly and tentatively.

Inaba Masakuni walked up to him without saying a word.

Then……

Snap!

Inaba Masakuni threw out a right slap, hitting Nengshi Liangbi's left cheek impartially.

Inaba Masakuni has a skinny figure. At first glance, he looks like a weak man, but his hand strength is really quite strong.

The fat Nengshi Liangbi was beaten so hard that he almost fell to the ground.

As the saying goes, the first level of officialdom crushes people to death.

The positions of the governor of Gyeonggi and the guardian of Kyoto are above those of the governor of Kyoto.

And the status of Kyoto's chief executive is higher than that of Kyoto's town official.

Therefore, even if his face was burning with pain, even if he felt aggrieved in his heart, he would not dare to protest or speak out.

After stepping on the body that was blown away, he immediately buried his head and stood back to his original position dejectedly.

"You bastard! Look what you've done!"

Inaba Masakuni cursed loudly.

"What on earth did you do to Mr. Tachibana?"

I don’t know either! I didn’t know that Mr. Tachibana had been taken away until just now - Noshi Liangbi pursed his lips tightly and resisted the urge to say these words.

At this time, Matsudaira Yongho interjected in a calm tone:

"Nagato-sama, please calm down. Hitting people will not solve the problem."

At the same time, Hijikata Tosei stared straight at Noshi Ryobi, pressing forward step by step and asking:

"During a private visit incognito, Tachibana-sama killed the patriots who were blackmailing the people, but he was indiscriminately arrested by the officers of the Kyoto Prosecution Office - do you know about this?"

Private interviews incognito, blackmailing people with lofty ideals... Listening to these words, the cold sweat on the powerful man's head became more and more intense, and it gradually became a torrent.

"I, I don't know much about the specific incident... The people from 'Three Chapters' should know the detailed details. Why don't I call them over?"

Matsudaira Yongho shook his head:

"No need! You should give Lord Tachibana his freedom now! We will discuss the rest in detail later!"

"Yes, yes! This is natural! This is natural!"

Inaba Masakuni: "Where did you keep Mr. Tachibana?"

"Since Mr. Tachibana was captured, he should be in Baizhou now..."

"lead the way!"

"Yes, yes! Please come with me! Please come with me!"

Noshi Ryobi bowed his waist, turned sideways respectfully, and made a "please" gesture to Hijikata Toshizo, Matsudaira Yōho, Inaba Masakuni and others.

Everyone took big steps forward, and soldiers from both armies filed in...

…

…

Kyoto Administrative Office, Shirashima——

Four matchlock guns were aimed directly at Qingdeng's torso.

At such a distance, no matter how bad the shooter is, there is no reason to miss.

Takahashi Kinzaburo has issued a strict order: If Qingto makes any rash move, do not hesitate and shoot directly!

On the one hand, the musketeers closely monitored Qingdeng.

On the other hand, take the thick rope that the ropers used to perform the Ebina punishment.

Ebina punishment is to tie the prisoner's wrists tightly behind his back, cross his feet and tie them in front of him. The rope that binds the feet is put around his neck, so that the prisoner's feet are pulled toward his chin. After a while, the prisoner's whole body will burst into red.

The pain is so painful that you break out in cold sweat. What's worse, soon after, the skin all over your body will turn a terrifying dark purple, and then an even more terrifying pale color.

It won't kill people, but it will cause them extreme pain... It's simply the most perfect form of torture.

Takahashi Kinzaburo smiled ferociously, and with a condescending expression, he cast a look full of teasing and sarcasm towards Aoden.

"How about it? You don't have to hold back! If you feel scared, you might as well beg me for mercy! If you make me happy, I can consider letting you go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qingdeng replied without thinking:

"You're welcome. If you have any tricks, just use them. I'll wait and see."

After saying that, Qingdeng smiled slightly and looked into each other's eyes without any flinch.

In an instant, Takahashi Kinzaburo felt as if a fish bone had stuck in his throat, showing a suffocating and ugly expression.

As a Ginmi Fang Yuli, Takahashi Kinzaburo has seen all kinds of people in his whole life.

There are cowards who will pee their pants after just a few threats.

There are also tough guys who are unyielding and look forward to death.

However, according to the observations of Takahashi Kinzaburo, it was found that no matter how hard the bones are and no matter how fierce the temperament, when seeing the ferocious torture instruments gradually approaching them, there will always be more or less wavering and flinching in their eyes.

However... Qingdeng's eyes remained as calm as ever.

While calm, there seemed to be a hint of mockery...

Such an expression does not seem to be pretending to be calm, nor does it look like Shichibuduo, but a kind of... indescribable calmness.

Looking at Seito with such an expression on his face, Takahashi Kinzaburo felt inexplicably angry.

He gritted his teeth, slapped his thigh, and shouted:

"Damn! Torture! I want to see if you can still be so arrogant after tying your feet to your neck! Torture! Torture quickly!"

The kind-hearted Natori looked at Takahashi Kinzaburo who gave the order, then looked at Aoto, and sighed again.

"Little brother... bite the bullet. Don't blame us..."

Just when Natori picked up the thick hemp rope and slowly walked towards Aomori...

"Which bastard killed my little brother?!"

Several warriors with solemn faces and swords at their waists strode into Baizhou.

I saw that the leader was wearing a high-end kimono made of Sendai plain fabric. He had a lean body, his sight was as sharp as an arrow, and his eyes were as fierce as a tiger... With such an appearance, just looking at it made people instinctively feel: This person is not easy to mess with. .

"Huh? Master Yamazaki? Why are you here?"

At the moment when this group of people suddenly appeared...Takahashi Kinzaburo vividly demonstrated a "change of face" that even a Sichuan opera actor would be ashamed to see.

During the trial of Seto, Takahashi Kinsaburo looked fierce and angry throughout.

When people who don't know about it see him, they think he is some ruthless and tough person.

As a result, after seeing these uninvited guests, the lines on his face suddenly softened, the corners of his mouth were raised high, his eyes were narrowed into slits, and his face was filled with a flattering smile.

He stood up hurriedly, bending his waist and hunching his shoulders, his posture extremely humble.

In addition to his expressions and movements, his way of speaking also changed significantly.

The honorific used... just listening to it makes me feel numb and gives me goosebumps.

The changes are so remarkable that they seem to be suspended between heaven and earth. It can be called a superb magic performance.

Yamazaki Heijiro... the lean samurai who was walking at the forefront and was called "Yamazaki-sama" by Takahashi Kinzaburo, stood next to Takahashi Kinzaburo and said slowly in a neither salty nor bland tone:

"Hmph! Mr. Takahashi, don't you have any idea why I'm here?"

"I was comfortably drinking tea and hugging a woman at home, and suddenly I heard that my important younger brother was killed by an unknown ronin. If I remained indifferent to this, where would the Kusunoki group's face be? How would we fool around in the future? …Ah, no, that’s not right, how can we realize the great cause of respecting the king and repelling the barbarians in the future?”

After saying that, Yamazaki Heijiro turned his head and looked at Aoto.

"Are you the one who caused me to lose a group of capable men?"

There was undisguised anger and murderous intent in Yamazaki Heijiro's eyes.

"Master Takahashi, please tell me, how should this matter be handled?"

"Uh... He killed people on the street, and he killed five people in a row. The crime is not punishable! He should be sentenced quickly and severely! However, this guy refuses to repent and refuses to sign the confession! Mr. Yamazaki, I am about to prepare Use torture on him and let him taste the power of Ebiosis! After he is sentenced to death, I want to see if he can still continue to be arrogant!"

"Ebisen? Lord Yamazaki, just one Eboshi is not enough!"
To be continued...
