Chapter 799 The fleet is coming
The city of Edo is in a mess, a mess, a fire house, a firewood, and a black smoke hovering over the city for a long time.
During a turbulent day, dozens of shops were smashed, most of which were the industries of Sakai Tadaokaku and Matsuhira Nobutsu, and some were completely innocently implicated stores. In just one day, more than a dozen people died in the riot and hundreds were injured.
If the riot had not been for the shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu personally led his troops to suppress the riot, there might have been more than just those casualties.
Most of Sakai Tadao's mansion was burned down by a fire. Now Sakai Tadao can only temporarily live in Matsuhira Nobutsu's home. Sakai Tadao was crying but didn't cry. He had to provoke anyone he wanted to get the purpose of Da Yu'er and the others coming to Japan. As a result, he couldn't get anything out, and his home was burned by the rioters.
Tokugawa Iemitsu's mansion was visited by Matsuhira Nobuzuna's mansion, outside there were thousands of the most elite samurai who were strengthening patrols to prevent another riot in Edo Castle.
"Look at what good things you guys have done!"
"Tashikazu Sakai, you didn't take good care of your family and let him cause trouble outside, but he even provoked Chinese people!"
"Matsupi Nobuka, you arrested a few Chinese without authorization, which directly caused us huge trouble, which is an improper handling!"
"And Tadaki Abe, you...how is your progress in investigating the Shigemasaki case in Tankura!?"
When Tokugawa Iemitsuke Sakai Tadaokaku, Matsuhira Nobutsu and others were met, he blamed him. The group of ministers he relied on the most on weekdays actually caused trouble for him.
"Old General, on the night of the assassination of Hiromasaki Itankura was assassinated, a refueler was killed earlier and the body was found in the ditch. The murderer should have pretended to be a refueler and assassinated him in one fell swoop when he was in a wrong position with Hiromasaki Itankura. As for who killed Hiromasaki and Hiromasaki Itankura in succession, I have not yet investigated it." Tadaoqiu Abe said.
"I know what these killing methods are useful? What I need is to know who is manipulating all this and who killed my retainers! Also, today's riots in the city are not like a spontaneous movement formed by the residents in the city, but someone behind them is fueling the fire, intentionally creating chaos, making the residents increasingly dissatisfied with our shogunate." Tokugawa Iemitsu held his hands behind him, and he had roughly seen the essence of the riots in Edo Castle.
"Your Excellency, the wisest general, we think so too." Tadashi Sakai took out a newspaper, "The special daily issue published by the Kyushu Newspaper early this morning, which strongly criticized our shogunate's actions, which caused dissatisfaction among the people in Edo Castle and intended to create chaos. The death of Hiromasa Itakura may not be related to the Kyushu Army. However, the riots in Edo Castle today are definitely related to the Kyushu Army."
"The Kyushu Army wants to use public opinion and riots to force us to release people." Tadao Abe added.
Tokugawa Iemitsu took the newspaper and scanned it roughly: "Is the things recorded above true?"
Tadao Sakai nodded: "It's basically true, but it is precisely because of this that the residents in Edo Castle can incite 70% of them to be true and three parts of them to be weak, and it can add fuel to the fire and inspire the people in Edo Castle to be dissatisfied with us!"
"What a scheming! The Kyushu newspaper is the industry of the Kyushu army. If you publish such an article, it must be the Kyushu army that did something!" Tokugawa Iemitsu was also annoyed this time. Edo Castle is the most core area of the Tokugawa shogunate rule. If even Edo Castle falls into turmoil, then the Tokugawa shogunate rule is not far from disintegration.
"Your Excellency General, I will take you to see the Chinese men and women we have caught. Maybe you can ask some useful content from them." Tadaoka Sakai said to Tokugawa Iemitsu.
"Take me to see them." Tokugawa Iemitsu also wanted to see who caused such a big upheaval.
Da Yu'er and others were imprisoned in a courtyard, and they were relatively free to move, but they had no way to escape. However, Da Yu'er and others didn't want to escape. Anyway, the shogunate really didn't dare to do anything to them.
When Tokugawa Iemitsu met Da Yu'er, his eyes lit up slightly, but he passed away immediately.
"Do you know how many people died and injured in Edo Castle because you were detained? At least hundreds of people!" Tokugawa Iemitsu did not expect that a beautiful woman would be at the source.
"There is nothing to tell." Da Yu'er said this, but she was puzzled. Even if her own people wanted to save her, she would not have to cause hundreds of casualties, right?
"Who are you from the Kyushu Army? Why do they bother to cause turmoil in the whole city and drive the residents in the city to put pressure on our shogunate?" Tokugawa Iemitsu continued to ask.
“Nothing to be told.”
"Sakura, Matsuhei, does she only know this Chinese sentence?" Tokugawa Iemitsu was also injured by Oyu'er.
Tadaoka Sakai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "These people are very hard and don't want to reveal anything to us. If you ask, there is nothing to tell me."
"Then you can't ask anything, why are you still keeping them for?" Tokugawa Iemitsu was a little dissatisfied.
"God General, they came to our Japan at a young age and were also involved in the Jiuzhou Army. There is something strange about this. I suggest that you continue to detain them and see what else the Jiuzhou Army will do." Matsuhei Nobuka said.
"Hundreds of people were killed or injured in Edo Castle due to this incident, and dozens of shops were smashed and robbed. How much casualties do you want to cause?" Tokugawa Iemitsu said.
"I also think I should continue to wait and see." Tadao Abe, who has always supported Tokugawa Iemitsu, said.
"Why do you think so?" Tokugawa Iemitsu was quite puzzled.
"The riots occurred in Edo Castle today, which has exposed the people behind the scenes. The Kyushu Army must have a share, but there should be others involved. General, we have an article published in the Kyushu Newspaper in our hands, so we can find out who it was. Not only that, when this matter is over, we can secretly investigate who was instigating the residents of Edo Castle during the riot. If what I guess is right, it is still the traitors in China who will do it. This time we have enough evidence to instigate them to the prison, and even the Kyushu Army will not be able to save them!" said Tadao Abe.
Tokugawa Iemitsu pondered: "What you said makes sense. Those who suffer casualties can also be counted as the Huaxia Society. If hundreds of people die and suffer, they can execute the traitors of the Huaxia Society, and everything is worth it."
Oyu'er, who had been unpredictable, looked at the location of her shadow and suddenly said to Tokugawa Iegawa, Sakai Tadaokaku and others: "You should let us go quickly, our fleet is about to arrive in Edo Castle."
