Edo Traveler
Vol 2 Chapter 19: Always on the way
What Ling Chuemon didn't expect was that the news of Shigetomi Tadashi didn't come, but it was an assignment on business.
Because it's dead again!
But this time it has nothing to do with Chuemon Gate. This time, it is Watanabe Kasayama, the elder of the Mikawa Tahara clan, who died this time (with an annual salary of 120 shi). He was previously arrested and imprisoned because of the "Morrison Incident" in 1837.
Since Japan still implements a strict shut-off policy, all samurai who hold an attitude of open study and transportation abroad will naturally be attacked by the shogunate. Not to mention this Watanabe Kayama. His "Cautionary Theory" refers to the harm of the shogunate's retreat.
The shogunate’s ruling shogunate is called "the view of the frog"!
So this Japanese Wei Yuan-style character was immediately arrested by Torii Yozo who was appointed by the shogunate at the time. Because of the attack on the generals and the old middlemen, theoretically, he must be sentenced to cut abdomen.
At the same time, many political notes were found in the waste paper pile of Huashan's home when the shogunate ransack their home. Although it was just a few words that were written and discarded without showing others, it was still regarded as evidence of political slander against the shogunate and must be strictly investigated.
Hearing that Huashan was arrested, relatives and friends immediately carried out rescue operations through multiple channels. Songzaki Xiantang, once known as one of the two great Confucianists, had a relationship with Huashan for more than 20 years. After hearing the news, he was restless in sleep and food, and ran around regardless of his sixty-nine-year-old, but the methods were exhausted and the results were of no avail.
So he made a desperate move, and refused to listen to the doctor’s advice. He endured the illness and suffered all night and wrote a book. In one fell swoop, he became an article by Zhang Yu. He also said that neither China nor Japan has a culpable law to criticize politics. What's more, the conviction is based on the personal notes that are not shown. "If the personal notes can be convicted, I am afraid that no one in Japan is not guilty." Every sentence is rational, every word is true.
Mizuno Tadakuni was at the time when he was raising his head in the mansion. To put it in a nasty sentence, there was a bit of a fame in it. Just waiting for the Tokugawa family to stretch their legs, and then go out to make reforms as the Tokugawa family teacher. After reading the letter carefully from beginning to end, Mizuno couldn't help sighing: "The old man is so hard-working and admirable."
Because of Mizuno’s intervention, Watanabe Kasayama’s crime was reduced by one and he was sentenced to cautiousness and placed under residential surveillance.
It was already over two years ago. Maybe when the next general succeeds to the throne, he will be forgiven and released from prison.
It's a pity that Watanabe Kasayama was originally from a poor family, but he was only the retainer of the small 12,000-stone vassal of the Tahara Clan. There were eight brothers and sisters in the family. Later, as the veteran of the Tianyuan Clan, he only had a salary of 120 shi.
Two years of residential surveillance made him unable to get enough food and clothing, so his disciples sold various paintings and calligraphy works in Edo in order to raise funds. After all, Edo is where the general is. There are many wealthy people, and many arty people are willing to pay for some paintings and calligraphy. Knowing the kindness of the disciples, Watanabe Kayama gave them the paintings he painted when he was under residential surveillance.
It is important to know that Watanabe Kazan is not only a politician, Confucian, and social activist, but also a very famous writer and painter. He even has a deep knowledge of mathematics and mechanics and is a great talent. Naturally, some people are willing to pay for his paintings and calligraphy.
Things are bad because of this, because Watanabe Huashan has a good reputation, saying that his paintings and calligraphy are for sale, and those who rectified him in the first place are unhappy. Co-authoring your kid has been imprisoned. It's not easy to sell paintings and make a fortune.
Then there was a rumor that the shogunate was going to punish the lord Miyake for this. It should be known that the Miyake clan had the favor of Watanabe Kasayama. If the feudal lord was punished for his own sake, it would be almost a devastating blow to Watanabe Kazan, who has always been clean and self-righteous and loyal.
So the old man was ashamed of death. After seeing his old mother, he cut his abdomen and pierced his throat and committed suicide!
The news spread to the shogunate, and the local report to the criminals of this kind of imperial crime is dead, it is not dead. You need to take out the portrait book of the year, and then send personnel to inspect the body, and the case can be closed if it is the culprit himself.
Because in the history of the Tokugawa shogunate, there were many people fleeing in fake death or disfigurement. For example, Nagano Takano who was arrested with Watanabe Kazan was disfigured and fleeing. Of course, he was found in the end, and then killed for resisting arrest.
In short, the work of inspecting Watanabe Kasayama’s remains was shared by the two men who were not on duty and were in charge of the Edo criminal case. The shogunate asked the two to rush to the Mikawa Tahara Clan within six days, and thoroughly inspect Watanabe Kasayama's body, and at the same time determine the method of death.
If it is an abdomen~www.wuxiaspot.com~ then Watanabe Huashan is allowed to be buried in a decent way. If it was murdered and died, it is necessary to investigate whether there is any other cause and effect behind it.
Everyone knows that Mizuno Tadakuni is not a stubborn conservative. At first, he built a fort in Soshu to strengthen the sea defense of Edo Bay. Moreover, Watanabe Kasayama was not sentenced to death, and it was also because Mizuno Chukuni spoke up. Now that the natural protection reforms continue to deepen, Mizuno has begun to work on the family members of the generations and the Kachimoto princes, and people who hate him have gradually spread from the high-shangcho class to the ruling class.
The death of Watanabe Kayama is obviously another way to attack, so this matter can only be handled by someone who can be trusted. Tokoyama Moto and Masakane Yabe are too high-level to rush to Mikawa in person, so Chuemon Heizo seemed very suitable. Not only is the shogunate banner and employee, but also works in the department that actually handles criminal cases, and can serve the public.
As long as it is not because our name is Edogawa, we can commit crimes everywhere!
Yes, since the stall is on, you can only set off immediately, no matter if you are caught off guard, or whatever happens suddenly, if you order it, you must do it.
The weather was very hot and it was not a good time to go on the road. It was a hard time for Chungemon Heizo. As a result, he rested overnight in Sunfu Castle and tried to cross the Oigawa River to the One Hamamatsu, but he was unsuccessful.
Because after Tokugawa Ieyasu moved to Kanto, Kanto was governed as the original basis, in order to prevent the Daimyo of the West from easily attacking Kanto by land. Therefore, it was ordered to ban the construction of bridges on Oi River. The original bridges are all dismantled and destroyed, and the ferry crossings that can cross the river are destroyed and demolished, making it more difficult for Dajingchuan to cross the river.
It’s noisy, because it rained heavily upstream for two days and the flow of the Oi River surged. You had to wait two or three days in place to cross the river after the water flow slowed down.
