Bright Spring

Yao Fang was not too clear about it, so she could only pick up people's teeth and say, "Because some things are deeply rooted, the administration of officials in Ming Dynasty is very difficult, but the confusion of many parties may result in rules and contracts."

But Mao Li thinks that Yao Fang is covering up the truth and playing tricks, so he still thinks about it.

Maori and his family governor, Ouchi Sheng Jian, may have held the important power of the Ouchi family, they did not give up hope of finding a good way to govern the country, and they were still people who refused to admit defeat.

On the contrary, Ouchi Katsuki next to him has never expressed his opinion on such a grand topic, and seems very silent.Yao Fang remembered what Da Neisheng once said, so it’s just chaos, as long as you live well.

On a certain level, Ouchi Katsuki is undoubtedly a pessimistic samurai, perhaps it has something to do with his experience.

Compared with Mao Li's boastful talk, Yao Fang is more interested in Da Nei Sheng around him.Ouchi Katsuki was looking at the top of the cherry tree not far away, and when the falling petals appeared, there seemed to be a smile on his face, there was helpless mockery, and there was also disappointment and decadence.

Chapter 859 A Passerby in This Land

After night fell, Ouchi Sheng and Yao Fang were still in the tavern, drinking with Maori Zhenchang and enjoying singing and dancing.Le Ji held a paper fan and danced lightly amidst the sound of Xiao.Ouchi Sheng and Mao Li both watched it with great interest, but Yao Fang, a native of the Ming Dynasty, might not be used to this simple song and dance, and his expression seemed a bit boring.

At this moment, someone suddenly opened the wooden door, walked quickly into the shop, came to the banquet room, bowed, and said in Japanese, "Report, General Tao is in the other courtyard and was attacked by assassins! The nearby samurai are all reinforcements."

After hearing this, several people immediately got up from the floor. Mao said in Chinese, "Tao Jing has met an assassin."

Everyone paid the money, left the place in a hurry, and followed the reporter and everyone to the place where the incident happened.Soon noises were heard, and a group of ashigaru and archers was advancing.Torches burst out in the street, and black smoke drifted.

After a while, Ouchi Sheng and others arrived at Tao Jing's other courtyard.There was a torch outside the door, and several corpses were already lying on the ground.At this time, a samurai approached the door cautiously with a knife, kicked the door open, and rushed to the door.

In the dim light, there was a "clang" sound of swords and soldiers colliding, and then a scream sounded, and the warrior quickly fell to the ground and lay motionless at the door.The few people left outside stopped immediately, holding their knives and dared not go any further. Someone shouted, "Call the archers!"

Ouchi Katsuki observed for a while and felt that the scene was a bit strange.The reinforcements couldn't even enter the gate of the other courtyard. It seemed that the assassins had already controlled the other courtyard. The assassins were already surrounded by the warriors of Iwami City, but they didn't mention Tao Jing at all, and they didn't threaten anyone?

After staying for a while, Ouchi Katsura followed the direction of the back door of the other courtyard and left here silently.Yao Fang, a native of the Ming Dynasty, seemed to have been paying attention to him, and immediately followed him.

The two of them walked quickly in the night in silence.Katsuo Ouchi could hardly speak Chinese, and Yao Fang could not speak Japanese, so it was difficult to communicate, and simple words such as "fortunately meeting" were not suitable at this time.

"Killed! Killed..." An old woman yelled at Ouchi Sheng and the others, her expression terrified.

Many defenders were disturbed in the city tonight, but most of them were in Tao Jing's other courtyard at this time, and there were people shouting here, but no one paid any attention for a while.Da Neisheng immediately stepped forward to inquire. The old woman was so frightened that she couldn't speak clearly, and pointed to a house not far away.

It was a house without walls, built like a pile of grass on the outside, and the door was open.Ouchi Sheng walked up quickly, and Yao Fang followed.

Ouchi Katsuki put his right hand on the hilt of the samurai sword immediately, said "people from the national government office" at the door, and then jumped in.

Next to the door, there is a samurai with a katana in both hands, leaning forward and staring at Katsuo Ouchi, ready to attack at any time!The samurai probably recognized Katsuo Ouchi immediately, with a relieved expression on his face.

But in an instant, Ouchi Katsura swung the samurai sword suddenly with a "swish", and the samurai at the door screamed, and the sword and body fell to the ground with a "clang".

This situation immediately made Yao Fang who followed behind show a look of surprise.But Yao Fang didn't say anything, maybe it's useless to say, anyway, they don't understand each other.

"Bastard!" Tao Jing's voice came.

Da Neisheng's concentration just now relaxed a little. He followed the sound, and there was a trail of blood on the ground. Tao Jing was sitting against the wall, and he seemed to be injured.What made Ouchi Katsura furious was that Shibukawa was beside Tao Jing at this time!

Shibukawa was startled and terrified, staring at

Ouchi Katsuki asked, "What are you doing?"

Ouchi Katsura changed his usual submissive appearance, raised his head and walked forward slowly, his eyes were red, staring at the couple, he said through gritted teeth, "Tao Jing, you are mean and ungrateful as the lord."

Shibukawa asked, "Are you crazy?"

Ouchi Katsuki continued to walk forward, and then said, "You have no virtue and no ability."

Tao Jing looked at the blood-dripping samurai sword in Katsuo Ouchi's hand, and began to struggle to sit up. He didn't say a word about the accusation, and he couldn't refute it.

Da Neisheng said again, "You took my money, but you didn't give me any reward."

The two got closer, and Ouchi Katsuki said, "I am loyal to you, but you insult me ​​unscrupulously. You are not worthy of being a lord!"

Tao Jing sneered, "If you feel insulted, why don't you die?"

"Yeah..." The two suddenly moved closer.Suddenly, Tao Jing suddenly grabbed the knife on the ground and stabbed forward.Almost at the same time, Ouchi Sheng held the knife and turned sideways to avoid the stab|strike. The blade fell on Tao Jing's neck in an instant, but it stopped abruptly!A strand of blood immediately soaked out from the skin of Tao Jing's neck.

Tao Jing's face turned pale for an instant, and his whole body froze.

Ouchi Katsuki's sword paused for a while, and suddenly he pulled it into his arms with all his strength, and let out a short cry of "Ah", blood splattered out, splashing Shibukawa's head and face next to him with blood.

Shibukawa-san knelt there like a log, his eyes widened.Ouchi Sheng grabbed Tao Jing's clothes, wiped the knife twice, and slowly put it into the scabbard at his waist.

At this time Shibukawa gradually came back to his senses, raised his head and stared blankly at Ouchi Katsuki with fearful and worried eyes.

Ouchi Katsuki said, "Come with me now. I didn't kill Tao Jing, and you have nothing to do with him."

Shibukawa suddenly said, "Can my husband forgive me?"

"Get out of here." Ouchi Sheng repeated.His cruel | cruel | violence | suddenly disappeared.

The two came to the door one after another, only to see Yao Fang, a native of the Ming Dynasty, watching there, neither intending to interfere nor speaking.

Yao Fang's expression was indifferent, as if he had nothing to do with himself, but there was a vague interest in his eyes.Yao Fang seemed to be very interested in Ouchi Sheng's behavior, observing Ouchi Sheng's eyes very carefully.

As soon as they left the house, they saw some samurai and ashigaru.A samurai asked "Ouchi-kun, what happened?"

Ouchi Sheng said, "Guardian Tao Jun was killed by the assassin. When I came, the assassin had disappeared, and I was going to track down the nearby assassin."

The samurai glanced at the person next to him, Shibukawa who was covered in blood all over his head and face.

Shibukawa's gaze was extremely unnatural, with fear overflowing his face.Fortunately, the samurai didn't ask any more questions, and after bowing, he walked quickly into the house.

The three of them walked in the direction of Da Nei Sheng's mansion silently, Yao Fang was still accompanying them.Mrs. Shibukawa whispered, "Those people found out my suspicions, will they find out my husband?"

Ouchi Katsuki was very calm, glanced sideways at Yao Fang, and said to Shibukawa in Japanese, "Why don't you understand? Ming people have the final say on everything in Ishijian Kingdom. Tao Jing is just a 'born man'. Noble' dog, but still a dog, tail tucked in at both ends. Does it matter if a dog dies?"

Shibukawa's expression became very complicated

.

Back in the courtyard, Mrs. Shibukawa was busy changing clothes.Da Neisheng and Yao Fang sat together in the hall, facing each other silently, and the paper and ink were also placed on the wooden case.But the paper was clean, and neither of them wrote anything.

The courtyard was very quiet, almost dead.

Ouchi Sheng finally picked up the pen and wrote Chinese characters on the paper to hate each other and reduce it to death.

The grammar of Japanese is different from that of Chinese, and Masaru Ouchi seems to be not very proficient in classical Chinese, and sometimes the sentences he writes are not very easy to understand.But Yao Fang communicated with him many times, so she should be able to grasp his habits and understand the meaning. People hate each other, and only death can calm the conflict.

Yao Fang also wrote a paragraph.Da Neisheng took a look and understood the meaning of not killing Tao Jing's family?

The two looked at each other, trying to understand each other's deepest thoughts.

Ouchi Sheng wrote something to the effect that I have no reason or right to kill Tao Jing's family members. If the Ming army wanted to do this, I must have no objection.
