133. Zashiki Boy(1/2)
The next morning, Ryuma suggested strolling around Kofu Castle and continuing to collect information. If you have the chance, you can go to Kagushima Town to see the ruins of Takeda's family. Maybe you may find any discoveries.
Sanako agreed. Kuroda Nagato told them that 50% of the news was really good, and they had to search for the remaining 50% themselves, and they had to pay more attention to Hattori Hanzo Masayoshi's whereabouts.
Everyone decided to take breakfast first and then act together.
"Jiafei's grapes... are so sour..."
Qin Ming felt a little disgusted with breakfast.
Ryuma yawned and looked around, seeing Sanako was absent, and said, "Didn't you say there is a witch girl in Kafei? The witch girl's practice temple is walking witch girl..."
Tu Fang's eyes lit up: "I have a bold idea..."
Qin Ming immediately interrupted: "Put your bold thoughts, because Jia Fei has a strict criminal law."
"The criminal law related to the witches?!" Longma sighed and said, "How could there be such a thing? Uncle Longma is not allowed to pass on Xu Ji. As long as I seduce me, I might get the secret skill of Beichen Yishu!"
"That's the case, then you go and buy Okina's witch suit, he will definitely be happy."
Tu Fang pulled the soba noodles in the bowl, and was indifferent. When Jia Fei came, he didn't have any chance to see the witch. Wasn't that in vain?
"Go to do the job."
Qin Ming also felt sorry, but with Sanako accompanying him, it is not convenient to do things, so it is more important to do the important things.
"I went to meet Kuriyama Usuke, and my relatives died here. I didn't expect that he was still staying in a hotel. It seems that there is really something in his house."
"Monster...monster?" Longma suddenly became energetic.
"You stay in the hotel and go with Takeshi."
Qin Ming walked towards Kuriyama Yusuke's room without looking back.
According to Kuriyama Usuke, he moved to the hotel for temporary residence because he had something unclean at home.
It happened at this critical time, and people had to think about it.
Although Qin Ming did not want to deal with monsters, it seems inevitable to obtain information and multiple sets of information. Whether it is the Chezhi Dan, the Tengu Party, or even Kuroda Nagato, they all have a certain understanding of monsters.
"The Kuriyama family originated from Kuriyama Yoshisuke, one of the "Kuroda Eight Tigers" and the leader of the "Kuroda Twenty-Four Horses". At its peak, he received a salary of 15,000 stones and was known as the "Kuroda Family's conscience."
Qin Ming and Yusuke Riyama sat down with each other, and the Riyama family was quite famous.
Kuriyama Yusuke said embarrassedly: "What is the "conscience of the Kuroda family", the Kuriyama family has long declined."
The Ritsuyama family declined. After the famous Shinsuke Kuriyama died, his legitimate son Tatsuo Kuriyama took over as the governor. However, Tatsuo Kuriyama was not honest at all. Although he was one of the orphans who was entrusted to Kuriyama when Kuriyama died, he had an opposition with the new lord Tatsuo Kuriyama. Later, he even wrote a letter to the shogunate to falsely accuse him of treason, which kicked off the civil turmoil of the Kuriyama family, known as the "Kuroda Commodation". The final result was simple. Tatsuo's conspiracy was exposed and exiled, and the Kuriyama family was able to be stable in inheritance.
Qin Ming said: "After Kuriyama Tatsujo was exiled to the Morioka Domain, he has taken root in the Morioka Domain since then. The Kuriyama family should have been operating in the Morioka Domain. Why did you return to the Kuroda family?"
Kuriyama Usuke said: "Morioka is a place of exile, who would like to stay in that place? The Kuroda family has always tried every means to get the Kuriyama family back, and promised to continue to treat them as retainers. Only when my father's generation was able to return successfully."
Qin Ming asked: "If you return, you should return to Fukuoka. How could you come to Kafei?"
Kuriyama Yusuke smiled bitterly: "The Kuriyama family murdered the Kuroda family back then. Even though they were inseparable masters and servants, their relationship gradually faded and they had already left behind knots. How could we return so easily?"
"The Kuroda family was so bad that the Kuroda family was almost removed from the list!"
Qin Ming smiled and said, "The Kuroda family still spared no effort to make you come back with such hatred, and it must have another purpose."
Kuriyama Yusuke sighed: "Since it's Lord Abe who is asking me about it, I won't hide it anymore. Sooner or later, I will be known to others."
"Speaking."
Kuriyama Yusuke poured himself a bowl of water:
"The Kuriyama family is the oldest of the Kuroda family. He has served the Kuroda officers and soldiers and soldiers, and the two generations of Kuroda Nagamasa. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the first confidant. In this way, he naturally knows some unknown secrets of the Kuroda family."
"For example, the Koshu treasure controlled by the Kuroda family?" Qin Ming suddenly spoke.
"Yes." Kuriyama Yusuke continued: "But it is not the specific Koshu treasure, but related information. Kuroda officers and soldiers and Kuroda Nagamasa both studied Koshu treasures. At that time, Yoshisuke Kuriyama, who was the first confidant at that time, also knew about it."
"But later, somehow, the Kuroda family not only did not discover the treasure, but when the third generation of the family governors even missed the clues of the Koshu treasure. Instead, as a confidant, the Kuriyama family had more information."
"Kuryama Tokiha took a huge risk to frame the Kuroda family, just to replace it with the Kuroda family and control Kafai himself because he knew the clues of Kashu treasure."
"The plan failed and was exiled. The Kuroda family still ignored the past and was willing to coordinate with the Kuroyama family to return. It was not because the master and servant had a deep affection, but because they coveted the clues of the treasures of Koshu that the Ritsuyama family had."
Qin Ming asked, "Why did the Kuroda family move back even though they knew they were uneasy?
"Morioka Oshi is not a place for people to stay." Kuriyama Yusuke recalled some bad memories: "And the current situation is turbulent, and the Koshu treasure will be found one day. Instead of waiting until the treasure is born, the clues that the Kuriyama family have are useless, it is better to try to get more benefits as much as possible while it is profitable."
"But we also know that if we return directly to the Fukuoka clan where the Kuroda master's family is, we will definitely be eaten without any bones left, so we each took a step back and chose Kafai."
"Kafe is directly under the shogunate. Although the Kuroda family has a subsidiary head who holds the position of Kafe, they must consider the shogunate and will not act too recklessly."
"It's a smart decision." Qin Ming realized something and asked, "When did the Lishan family return to Jiafei?"
"Fifteen years ago?" Kuriyama Yusuke recalled: "I was still young at that time, and my uncle should have known more, but she..."
"Sad."
Fifteen years ago?
Qin Ming did not change his color: "Let's say it's a long story short, my purpose is the treasure of Koshu, which is also the meaning of the shogunate. If you can give reliable clues, the shogunate will definitely provide protection to the Kuriyama family. Although the world is in chaos, the shogunate is still the biggest force."
He wanted to do with the name of the shogunate, raise the tiger-skin banner, constantly add vitality, master effective information, and get closer to the truth about the treasure of Koshu little by little.
As for what the shogunate will do and what attitude is, why don’t he do that?
But Kuriyama Yusuke had this idea. Not only was the house stained with unclean things, but the Kuroda family also attacked his uncle directly, which was a living life!
Instead of waiting for the Kuroda family to take action, it is better to turn directly to the shogunate. At least the shogunate will not do it too ugly in name.
"I don't know the specific clues, but I can introduce my father to Lord Abe, who is the head of the Kuriyama family and knows the most."
Kuriyama Yusuke's posture was quite low.
“Okay.”
The group followed Kuriyama Usuke to the Kuriyama family, and no matter what Ryuma said, he had to stay in the hotel with Takeshi.
Kondo bought a large bag of glutinous rice cakes from a street vendor, and the breakfast provided by the hotel was not enough for him to eat half full.
Sanako also bought some with interest. The glutinous rice cakes sold in Kofu Castle are different from those elsewhere. The outer layer is covered with bean powder and poured with black honey juice. It tastes sweet and is especially popular among children.
"It was probably the prototype of Shin-Chin-Chin-Chin later?"
Qin Ming also ate a piece. The taste was average and the talked about by others was actually invented in the 20th century. It has nothing to do with Takeda Shingen during the Warring States Period, and it is purely a ride on the popularity.
etc....
"Shingen Bing is taking advantage of Takeda Shingen's traffic. Will the treasure of Kashu be the same?"
"After all, no one knows the specific content of the Koshu treasure. It is only because Takeda Shingen is the most famous person in Kafari, and the Koshu gold and silver treasure he developed have connected the Koshu treasure and Takeda Shingen."
"In fact, there is no exact news about how deep the relationship between the two is. Those who hold clues to the treasures of Koshu are not the Takeda family or the Takeda family retainers, they are all outsiders..."
Qin Ming felt that he might have fallen into a misunderstanding of thinking, but he didn't think about it much. There were only a few days of clues available, and there were only a few things that could be found.
Walking all the way to the Castle Town, as a famous samurai family, they live with the town people, which shows the desolation of the Kuriyama family.
“It’s still ahead.”
Qin Ming found that he was wrong. The Riyama family did not live with the towns, but... on the mountain.
"This is the end of the town, take this small path in the forest and leads to the mountain."
The mountain path is getting steeper and steeper. Fortunately, there are repaired stone steps in the steepest place so you won’t slip under your feet and fall down the mountain.
At the end of the stone steps, there are discharges from the entrance of the shrine, and wooden archways, and there are mottled military flags of "Fenglin Volcano" standing on one side.
"It's here."
Kuriyama Yusuke pointed at the shrine.
Sanako said puzzledly: "Is this... a shrine?"
"Yes." Kuriyama Yusuke nodded and said, "The Kuriyama family actually returned in the name of building a shrine. This shrine will be used as a contact for the Kaphie place in the future. In order to facilitate the construction of the shrine, we simply settled our home in the shrine."
The contact is the specific monastery appointed by the shogunate according to the various religious sects, and it is responsible for the control and contacting all monasteries in the area.
Turtle hoped to say, "If the shrine is completely repaired, will the witch be brought into the witch?"
Qin Ming looked weird: "In other words, the shrine is stained with unclean things?"
Kuriyama Yusuke's face became solemn: "That's right...but please let everyone go inside first."
Passing through the archway, the stone-paved road is straight forward, connecting the main shrine. Next to it is a drinking water table made of stone, four scoops are neatly arranged, and the diamond patterns of the Takeda family are in the middle.
"A shrine related to Takeda Shingen?"
"Even if it is directly under the Tokugawa shogunate, the one who is most recognized by the Kakai people is still the Kakai tiger Takeda Shingen. It has many benefits to build a shrine related to Takeda Shingen in the name of the shogunate or a vassal state, even if they don't like Takeda Shingen at all."
"Like...Koshu Treasure."
Before I knew it, I had already met the head of the Riyama family, Dasuke Kuriyama.
"Didn't you hide? Why did you come back suddenly?"
When he saw his son, Daisuke Kuriyama did not ask about his well-being, but blamed him.
As the heir of the Lishan family, when something happens at home, he immediately thinks of avoiding rather than facing the problem and solving the problem. How can the head of the family take responsibility?
Then when he saw Qin Ming's outfit, his attitude immediately improved.
To be continued...
