Great Eunuch of the Ming Dynasty

"Master? Where is the Lord?" The Xuanwu guards outside heard the shout and ran in excitedly.

"My subordinates kowtow to the governor!" A group of Xuanwu guards knelt down on the ground and shouted in their mouths.

Seeing this, Wang Zhen also lost his mind to tease the soldiers of Xuanwuwei, and pointed to the body of General Shimadzu Yamagi, the great name of the Satsuma clan on the ground, and said: "Chop off this guy's head, and hang it at the gate of the city of water." Above, let the people of Water City see that their city lord, Shimadzu Yamagi, has been killed by us, so they will probably be less inclined to resist."

"Follow the order of the governor!" The soldiers of the Xuanwu Guards agreed and started to move, but Wang Zhen disappeared without a trace.

"The governor is really powerful, I can't even find out how the governor left." The Xuanwu guard said with emotion.

"The superintendent's supernatural powers are so great that mere mortals can figure it out?" His companion sneered.

"Hahaha!" A group of Xuanwu guards laughed loudly, and beheaded the head of General Shimazu Sanqi, the great name of Satsuma.

Outside the General's Mansion, Li Songwei, commander of the Xuanwu Guard, just came here when he met Wang Zhen who came out.

"Master, this subordinate is going to look for you!" Li Songwei said with a smile.

"Oh? What's the matter?" Wang Zhen asked suspiciously.

At this time, there should be nothing that Wang Zhen is interested in, and there is nothing that requires Wang Zhen to help, so Wang Zhen is a little confused about what Li Songwei is looking for.

"I would like to report to the Governor, my subordinates have found some secrets about the Satsuma clan's daimyo, General Shimadzu Sangi, from the ninjas who raided the Xuanwuwei camp. The Governor should be interested." Li Songwei said with a smile, as if he wanted to say something That thing is very interesting.

"Oh? I don't know what makes you feel interesting? Tell me!" Wang Zhen said with great interest.

Of course, Wang Zhen would not tell Li Songwei, the commander of Xuanwuwei, that he had killed General Shimazu Sanqi, the daimyo of the Satsuma clan, but Wang Zhen was fine at the moment, and he would not mind listening to the fact that Li Songwei, the commander of Xuanwuwei, would be impressed. things of interest.

"I would like to report to the governor, it turns out that the ninjas who attacked the Xuanwuwei camp were a force called a shadow organization. Although this shadow organization is small in scale, it is also very powerful." Li Songwei said.

Wang Zhen shook his head and said, "What's so strange about this shadow organization? There are hundreds of ninja organizations in Fusang Land, at least dozens of them. What's the fuss?"

"Because the previous leader of this shadow organization was General Shimadzu Sangi, the daimyo of Satsuma." Li Songwei said.

"It seems that this Shimadzu Sanki was able to make the Satsuma clan so powerful. It not only established the Satsuma clan's naval fleet, but also trained the Satsuma clan's warriors. Now there is a shadow organization. No wonder the Satsuma clan is one of the most powerful clans in Fusang." Wang Zhen sighed. road.

"The governor may have misunderstood. The point of what the subordinate said is not this, but that the leader of the previous generation of the shadow organization is not the real Satsuma clan general Shimadzu Sangi." Li Songwei said surprisingly.

"Oh? What the hell is going on here? When you say that, you completely confuse the governor. I don't know what you mean at all." Wang Zhen said helplessly. Li Songwei's language skills are really too good Too bad, it made Wang Zhen feel a pain in the ass.

"That is to say, the previous leader of the shadow organization killed the real General Shimadzu Sanki because he looked very similar to the daimyo of the Satsuma clan, General Shimadzu Sanki, and then made the name of the Satsuma clan with a fake name, and passed With my own means, I turned an ordinary feudal town into a powerful feudal clan with five cities." Li Songwei also explained with a troubled expression.

"Hiss~" Wang Zhen couldn't help but gasped when he heard the words, this land of Fusang is really too dangerous, there are intrigues everywhere, and all of a sudden even the false ones came out, so Wang Zhen had to give the Fusang land in his heart again. The lower limit of human scoring.

"I didn't expect there to be such a complicated thing in it. It really opened the eyes of the governor! But it doesn't make any sense for you to say these things now." Wang Zhen laughed.

Li Songwei asked in puzzlement: "How did the governor say this? Please forgive me for being dull, I don't understand what the governor means."

"Because the governor has sneaked into the general's mansion in the city of water just now, and personally killed the daimyo of the Satsuma domain, General Shimadzu Sangi, hahaha!" Wang Zhen laughed loudly.

"Uh..." Li Songwei suddenly realized that what Wang Zhen said just now was really like what Wang Zhen said just now, what he said was meaningless at all, and it could only add some jokes.

Wang Zhen ignored the embarrassed Li Songwei, but walked to a Taoist temple in the City of Water, but this Taoist temple was not a place where the demon monk Kato was enshrined, but a Taoist temple funded by the Chamber of Commerce of the Ming Dynasty before. The common people in the city were still wondering what kind of gods this Taoist temple was enshrining, and now they finally know.

Because just now, a Taoist priest of the Yin-Yang Sect led his Taoist boys to consecrate the nine-thousand-year-old statue.

Wang Zhen looked at the Nine Thousand Years God Statue exuding divine power, nodded in satisfaction, then frowned and peeled off a trace of his Primordial Spirit, and then turned into a horse, and got into the Nine Thousand Years Old God Statue. Among the statues, in an instant, the [-]-year-old statue burst into light, and then seemed to be controlled by something, instantly covering the entire city of water.

The people in the city of water hid in their homes and did not dare to come out. When the light from the nine-thousand-year-old statue enveloped the entire city of water, the people in the city couldn't help but fell asleep.

"Finally, it's started!" Wang Zhen grinned and said with a smile.

Chapter 6 Eleven Rules of the City of Fire

Chapter 6 Eleven Rules of the City of Fire

In the City of Fire of the Satsuma Domain, a group of ashigaru infantrymen were carrying gongs, beating and walking through the streets and alleys, disseminating the orders issued by Kujo Jiro, the lord of the City of Fire.

"From now on, anyone who violates the city lord's decree will be killed without mercy!" the ashigaru infantry shouted loudly.

"When~"

With the departure of the ashigaru infantry, the common people in the city of fire began to have sullen discussions.

"I really can't live anymore. I never thought that the lewd city lord Jiujo Jiro would issue such an order. What should I do? My mother is just 60 years old this year! My mother raised me and married me a wife. I didn't expect to face such a situation before enjoying family happiness." A young man cried sadly.

"Who says it's not? My mother is over 60, and now the City of Fire is facing drought and no crops. The Lord of the City doesn't want to find a solution for the common people. Instead, in order to save food, let the city of Fire An old man who has reached the age of 60 goes to the mountains to fend for himself, is this still a human being?" A middle-aged man actually said and shed tears.

"Why don't those warrior masters do this? Why don't those big families do this. My family has no food, and the whole family just starves to death. Why do you want me to abandon my mother?" A young boy said angrily.

An old man shook his head and sighed: "I heard that there is going to be a war, and a powerful enemy has invaded our Satsuma domain. I guess the city owner is preparing for the food collection in the future! After all, if the food in the people's homes It was eaten up by the old man, where is the city owner going to collect food!"

"What? Now that there is no harvest due to the drought, the city lord still wants to expropriate grain. Isn't this trying to kill the people of our city of fire?" A middle-aged man dressed as a frustrated warrior shouted in surprise.

"Master Tokui Yiqi, if it wasn't for your family's decline, with the reputation of your samurai family, you don't need to worry about these things, but now, Mr. Tokui Yiqi, your family has fallen. Not only do you have no money to live on, even you The eldest son of the Dejing family is actually only a third-rate master, which is really unable to support a family, and can only become a wandering warrior." The common people who knew this middle-aged warrior sighed.

Tokui returned home with a disappointed expression, among the three dilapidated thatched huts.

The house of Tokui’s family used to be inside the gate of the mansion, but Tokui’s loyal father, a samurai master with the realm of second-rate master, was assassinated by the ninja because of jealousy with a ninja of second-rate master realm in the brothel, and the family suddenly collapsed. The servants and Tokui Yoshiki and his concubines took all the wealth of the family away, leaving only Tokui Yoshiki's mother with him and his younger brother to support the family, but I can only live in this thatched cottage.

If it wasn't for Tokui Yiki's dead ghost father who left the Tokui family's ancestral martial arts secrets, Tokui Yiki probably wouldn't even be able to reach the realm of a third-rate master.

Originally, Tokui Yoshiki's family had earned some money by being thugs for many years, but in order to marry a wife for himself, the family's money was almost spent, and his younger brother was in his thirties, and he was still a bachelor!

"Taro, are you back? Did you find a job today?" A gray-haired old woman came out of the thatched hut, saw Tokui's righteousness, and asked.

Tokui Yoshiki shook his head and said, "Recently, the big families in the City of Fire seem to have heard some news. I guess there is going to be a war? They no longer hire temporary thugs, and start recruiting long-term samurai, but they must sign a contract. , I can’t leave the family without authorization, I can’t leave this family behind because of this, so I refused.”

"Hey! There is no unparalleled road, so I will just look for it tomorrow. I don't believe that there is no place where my Taro can show his talents in such a big city of fire." The old woman comforted.

At this time, a woman with a big arm and a round waist came out of the thatched hut. She pointed at Tokui's righteous nose and scolded her head and face: "If you don't have the ability to make money to support your family, why don't you marry me in? Look at me all day long, and spend time with you." What kind of day is this? You always talk about the samurai family. Look at whose family the samurai master is not a group of wives and concubines, and a lot of maids and mothers. Don’t you want to take care of your mother’s job? Not only do you have to serve your mother, but you also have to serve your unworthy younger brother, I’ve been miserable for eight lifetimes, and I ended up with such a family!”

"Moth! You're going to say it!" Tokui said angrily.

"What? Don't let me open my mouth anymore? I just heard the soldiers patrolling the street shouting from the gate. The old people who are over 60 years old in this city of fire have to be sent to the mountains outside the city of fire to fend for themselves. Don't follow I'm sloppy, even if I don't care, when the city lord Jiujo Jiro finds out, he will definitely send someone to arrest our family, this is the time when the city lord wants to make an example of others, so you can push our family into the pit of fire!" De The well-meaning Lao Tzu moth said with a ferocious face.

Tokui Yoshiki didn't expect his wife and mother to know the news, and he panicked, knowing that there was no way to hide this matter.

Looking at the ashen-faced old lady, Tokui Yoshiki didn't know how to speak better, not to mention the discomfort in his heart.

"Taro, you must abide by the words of the city lord, otherwise this family will be ruined, and you will be troubled by mother." Tokui's loyal old lady said sadly.

People generally become more afraid of death as they get older, especially the old lady who has worked hard for the family all her life. Hearing this, she feels awkward, but for the sake of the family and her son, she can only obey the arrangements.

"Let Wei Niang have a full meal tonight. Tomorrow morning, Taro, you will carry Wei Niang to the mountains outside the city, and Wei Niang will be a mountain person. It may be possible to survive." Tokui's loyal old lady looked Glancing at his elder son and daughter-in-law, he lowered his head and said.

Hearing that her mother-in-law had decided to go into the mountains tomorrow, Tokui's righteous mother-in-law didn't say anything. She also knew that this matter should not be done, but at this time there was not much food in the house, and the city lord had to obey the order, otherwise There is bound to be disaster at home.

One of the three thatched huts is the room of Tokui Yoshiko, Tokui Yoshiki's younger brother.
