When Hideopo arrived at the Imperial Palace, the attendant had already lit up all the candlesticks in the hall. Two overlords were standing solemnly at the door to guard, and Sushui Shujiu was already waiting for Hideopo's driving in the hall.

Seeing Hidepo rushed over, the samurai at the door was about to inform Sushui, but unexpectedly, Hidepo reached out to stop him.

"Don't worry about etiquette at this time." Xiubao pulled open the paper door and stepped into the Imperial Palace. Seeing this, Sushui Shujiu was stunned at first, then hurriedly bowed down and greeted Xiubao respectfully, but before his head was touching the ground, Xiubao shouted: "A Feishou came late at night, there must be something important, so let's avoid these red tape."

"Since that's the case, I'll be straight to the point." Sumizu Moriku straightened up and said to Hideopo who had walked to the chairman's seat with a serious expression: "I hurried to Osaka last evening to meet the young master and his wife. On the way, I happened to meet the Dazangjuk Bureau. I found that she was deliberately hiding from Dazangjuk to walk towards the castle town. In order to prevent accidents, Dazangjuk ordered her entourage to follow and find out. The result was shocked by Kazangjuk. The old woman sneaked into the Maeda family's Yashiki. What's even more suspicious is that At that time, Ono Sui and his two younger brothers were wandering at the door until Dazangjuk came back and entered the house together."

"This is not the most important thing. Even the group head of the Seven-hand group, Nakajima and Aoki Ichige, also appeared in Maeda Iyashiki. In connection with the interrogation when they left the city this morning, it can be concluded that they may have some major actions in the past few days, and it is very likely to target His Highness."

"Target me?" Although I had known that Maeda Tatsunaga and Onoji Nakanaga would kill him while he was going to Osaka, Hideo did not expect that they could actually mobilize the Osaka Seven Hands Group. What is even more confusing is that As the pen tip of the seven hand group, Somizu Moriku, who is the pen to the seven hand group, would actually stand on his side.

"Why does Kafamizu think these actions are related to the following?" Hideopo couldn't help but have some doubts. Before there was enough evidence, he could have regarded Somizu Moriku as a spy sent by Ono-jinaga to confuse the public.

Hidepo's doubts seemed to be within the expectations of Sushui Shujiu. After all, he had no relationship with Koriyama. How could he make Hidepo believe in him?

"A few days ago, the news that the Major General of Vietnam was preparing to assassinate His Highness had caused a lot of trouble. How could the pentou, who was the seventh-handed group, not know about this?" Sushui Shujiu was still humble and did not reveal any displeasure.

Xiu Bao nodded slightly: "That's right, but there is something unknown below. Jia Feishou has never had any contact with his family. How could he take the risk of coming to Junshan to convey such important news to him?"

"I don't trust the Right Mansion?" Sushui Shujiu revealed a hint of disappointment.

"No," Xiubao waved his hand quickly, "It's just out of curiosity that you are the most valued general of the Young Master and Mrs. Dam. You will believe whatever you say."

"You will believe whatever you say?"

"That is, no matter how incredible it is, as long as it is out of your mouth, there is no need to doubt it."

"Is this the way of dealing with the world in the right palace..." Sushui Shoujiu's heart fluctuated, "Is it because he is the retainer who is the most valued by the young master?"

"That's right, you are the young master's retainer, what else can you doubt?" Hideopo replied dissatisfiedly. He understood that his words could not only move Sushui to stay for a long time, but also make him firmly believe that "Hideopo is a loyal minister of Toyotomi family". The so-called attack on the heart is the best, and it has been used here.

Sure enough, Sumizu nodded with relief and praised: "Your Highness is indeed the humerus of the Toyotomi family. You dare to guarantee your life. What you say is not fiction, but there are thousands of retainers of the young master. Not all of them are worthy of your highness' trust."

"I guess this is why you came here." Xiubao smiled.

"Your Highness is indeed not an ordinary person. Yes, the reason I came here to report this time is to eliminate the treacherous slandering around the young master and his wife."

"You are probably referring to Ono Fixue and others." Hideopo has always heard of the fact that Somizu Mori was forced to be sent to Hakuraoyuan. It would be reasonable if he defected to his family because of this.

Sumizu Mori nodded heavily: "Yes, less than half a year after Taige passed away, Onoji Nagata recruited his party members and eliminated dissidents. He was the pen of the seven-hand group and persuaded him many times. Not only did it fail, but it affected himself. Not long ago, he was sent to the Horaoyuan to inspect the navy. Most of the retainers who refused to follow the Ono brothers were demoted to unimportant positions, and some were even driven out of Osaka. Even Lord Kataki was powerless. Alas, seeing Osaka being made in a mess, I had to rely on his hopes to contact His Highness, hoping that you can enter Osaka and eradicate those gangs of mobs."

"I understand." Hidebo finally knew that the Somizu Moriku was not a good man and a woman, but hoped to use his own hands to get rid of Ono's Oshinaga to regain his lost position. However, at this critical moment, it is not a bad idea to reach an alliance with him for the time being. After all, if Osaka is really controlled by Ono, the Kitsugawa area is the weakest place in Osaka's defense. If the action is launched there, at least it can reduce casualties to the minimum.

Next, Hideopo did not get other important information from Sumizu Moriku, so he had no choice but to arrange for the servant to take Sumizu to rest. He himself summoned Takato Fujido, Kitto Goto, and Harukatsu Komiyama to discuss countermeasures overnight. The four of them worked until five in the morning to rest in the hall.

Unexpectedly, after only less than half an hour of sleep, I was awakened by the ninja under Wu's command.

"Lord, the ninja sent to Yama Castle Kingdom have captured a suspicious person. I would like to ask you to interrogate him with several adults." Outside the Gate, Yasuzuna Uchizumi shouted respectfully.

"Suspicious person?" Hideopo's eyes were covered in blood. After tidying up his clothes, he was about to walk out of the Imperial Palace. The other retainers also slept in harmony. After a while, they were cleaned up neatly.

As the paper door opened, under the corridor of the Imperial Palace, a ninja was pulling a thick hemp rope, and occasionally kicking the middle-aged man tied to the other end of the hemp rope. The man must have suffered a lot before coming. The abuse he suffered was not just a bruised nose and a swollen face. Judging from the bloodstains of his crotch, he probably wouldn't be able to enjoy the happy time in the second half of his life.

"Who are you?" Xiu Bao asked coldly with his attitude towards the enemy.

The middle-aged man slowly raised his head, shook the blood from the corners of his eyes and mouth, and moaned in pain: "Foreign minister, Hirohiro Nakayama is the old man of Tsuda Nagato."

"Tsuda Nagatoshi?" As a great name for two million stones, Hideodo really doesn't know Tsuda Nobunaga, who only knows about 16,000 stones.

Fortunately, Takato Fujido has been dealing with Daming in Kinki for many years and has heard of it: "It is Tsuda Nobunaga, the lord of the city of Omaki Castle, and the official position is Nagato."

"So that's it," Xiubao nodded and turned to the ninja on the side: "Tell me, why did he say he was a suspicious person?"
