99. Mito Tengu Party
Through Feiyuanmo and Ayu, kill John, causing panic among the ministers and redirecting Chibei.
He used the help of the Guhuobi to confuse the audio-visual, threatened Ii Naoma with his children, and obtained Ii Naoma whereabouts.
Both key actions are carried out by monsters.
The people behind the scenes not only know the existence of monsters, but also understand the behavior patterns of monsters, and even... use monsters.
Qin Ming knew one.
Such is the one who killed Sata with a Tengu tattoo.
It just so happened that Sada was also a member of the king and the barbarians, and there should be some connection between them.
"Tengou pattern... It seems that we should check this direction."
Seeing Qin Ming thinking, Matsuhei Rongbao asked, "Does Lord Abe have any clues?"
Qin Ming nodded: "Yes, has Lord Songping learned about tattoos?"
"Some understanding." Matsuhei Etsubasa said: "Yoshihara Yumi, the courtesan, often cut off her little finger or stabbed her name into her body to show that she loves each other forever. This is a way of honesty and pledge to make her vows."
It’s worthy of being you, your character has not collapsed, and you will be Yoshihara.
Matsuhira Yoshiba continued: "In addition to the promise, it is fire removal. When fire is eliminated, too much clothing will hinder action. Most of them only have a loincloth. Some of them resist the fire removal of naked skin, and they will be tattooed with dragon tattoos."
"Dragon Tattoo..."
"It is said that it is because I believe that the dragon will bring rain to the clouds and rain, which will be beneficial to the fire and can also bless myself in the dark."
"Where are dragons in the world? Have you ever seen creatures that can fly without wings? Feudal superstition is not acceptable."
"Well...."
Qin Ming paused and continued: "However, judging from the Fire Eliminated Dragon Tattoo, the Courtesan and the Enke Assassin's Evil, tattoos generally have two functions. One is that the pattern has certain meanings, and the other is that its own existence is a kind of oath."
"What does Tengu pattern mean?"
"Tengou Monster? Sada who died in prison?" Matsuhei Etsuba said in confusion: "He has something to do with this matter?"
"By the way, he is also a thief who respects the king and expels the barbarians!"
Matsuhira Yoshibasaki solemnly said: "Today's tattoos are mainly dragons, unicorns, wind and thunder gods, big fishing treasure boats, Buddhist Vajras, etc., and Tiangou tattoos... should have no meaning."
"That's a pledge."
Qin Ming analyzed: "The oath is not necessarily an oath between men and women, but also a subordinate relationship between superiors and subordinates. If Sada belongs to a certain force, and that force uses Tengu as a name and regards Tengu pattern as a feature, it can be explained."
"Let's call it the Tengu Party for the time being."
Qin Ming wrote the words "Tengou" on the paper and asked again: "Is there any file record of the Sada family's relocation to Edo?"
"It should be." Matsuhira Etsubasaki stood up: "I'll look for it."
After a cup of tea, Matsuhira Yoshiba came back with the file.
Qin Ming opened his closed eyes and grabbed Xiao Xuanmo on the table, and then he started to read with peace of mind.
After the general Tokugawa Tsunayoshi issued the "Personal Order of Life", the Sada family, known as the Inuji family, believed that the general likes dogs as well as he did, and was criticized in Tosa, so he moved his family to Edo.
Interestingly, the Sada family encountered trouble as soon as they came to Edo.
"The Order of Pity" is not as good as they thought. The government orders are strict. People only need to drive away a stray dog or even kill a mosquito, flies and other pests. The lightest ones are fined, imprisoned, and the worst ones are exiled or even executed, even warriors are no exception.
The children of the Sada family, in order to rescue their companions who were chased by the dogs, drove the dogs away with sticks, and were questioned and arrested by officials.
However, it was not severely punished.
Because there is Tokugawa Mitsuki who likes to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, he always pretends to be a passerby.
Tokugawa Mitsukoku not only stopped officials and saved the children of the Sada family, but also drew his sword to kill several dogs. He also took the children to the general's mansion to question Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, and advised him to ban the "Person for Pity" that made the world complain. It was not until he was hibernated and was dismissed from his official position.
"Tokugawa Mitsukoku..." Qin Ming murmured: "I like to visit privately in a private manner, punish evil and promote good. The second generation of Mito vassal lords, and the official position is the official of the Yellow Gate, so it is also called Mito vassal lord..."
"Mito..." Matsuheri Tobashi thought of the key point and said rudely: "Mito School? Lord Mitsukoku and Zhu Shunshui, a great scholar who traveled east in the Ming Dynasty, jointly created Mito School. Mito School is the source of the idea of respecting the king and expelling the barbarians. The origin of the Sada family and respecting the king and expelling the barbarians began at that time!"
Qin Ming also said solemnly: "When I was in Tsushima Prison, I happened to hear from Sakuma Xiangshan that only the tattoo artists of Mito's vassal can have the Tengu pattern. It seems that no matter what, the thieves who respect the king and expel the barbarians have no relationship with Mito's vassal."
"When I was investigating the Inuji case, I heard that Sada had an argument with Isayama after he left Edo and returned from traveling."
"The reason for the dispute between Sada and Isayama lies in their position, that is, the conflict between the positions of respecting the king and expelling the barbarians and shogunate samurai. That is to say, after Sada went to a certain place, his mentality changed and he recognized the respecting the king and expelling the barbarians."
"From the origin of the Sada family and Tokugawa Mitsukoshi, as well as the origin of the idea of respecting the king and expelling the barbarians, Sada's special Tengoon pattern, this place is the Mito family."
He picked up the pen and added a few words on the paper.
Matsuhira Etsubasato read the content on the paper word by word: "Mito...Tengou Party..."
"If the real murderer of the Sakurada Gate Incident is classified as the Mito Tengo Party, then this should be the case..."
Qin Ming slowly wrote a logical closed loop on white paper.
First of all, Sada and Isaiyama had a conflict, which led to Isaiyama's death, which naturally brought the two-year silent party to the surface.
The general was worried that the thiefs who respected the king and expelled the barbarians would shake the shogunate rule, so he summoned Naochi, who was in charge of the Red Army, to Edo.
Then he pretended that Gu Chou was in trouble and stole the child of Ii Naoma, and coerced and tempted him to find out the whereabouts of Ii Naoma and began to formulate an assassination plan.
Then he seduced John with his pretty widow Ayu. It was not necessarily John. There were many foreign ministers from Edo. As long as one of them took the bait and led him out of the embassy, he could be assassinated successfully.
The minister died, and everyone in danger of foreigners. Under diplomatic pressure, the general had to transfer the Red Army to guard the embassy, which led to the weak guarding power around Ii Naoki.
Finally, the assassination of Sakurada Gate was successful.
Matsuhira Etsubaya sighed and said, "No wonder I thought Sada confessed too simply at that time. There was no evidence, and he had a child in his family, so he was not a carefree person..."
Qin Ming: "???"
Do you know the loopholes in emotional reasoning?
Then you sent someone to prison?
Don't even interrogate more?
What's the way the paddles?
Matsuhei Rongbao smiled dryly, "After all, he has pleaded guilty, and it's not a pity..."
Qin Ming did not investigate in depth, so as to prevent the Inuji from killing people: "Yes, Sada falsely claimed that he had made Inuji and killed Isaiyama with Inuji, which must have been to make Isaiyama's death even more sensational. In panic, the shogunate had to pay attention to it, thus ensuring that Iiyi's entry into Edo."
"The problem now is to find out the behind-the-scenes envoy of the Mito Tengo Party. The location is determined to be in the Mito family, but it is still unclear who it is."
"Um...."
Matsuhira Etsubashi pondered for a moment, and his hands suddenly trembled. After a while, he calmed down: "Ascendant to the Mito vassal lord, Tokugawa Shiaki, he has disagreements with Ii Da Lao's political affairs and has always been against each other."
