Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 354 The plan is in progress

Jiangzhou Lie boarded the Sabaidi and told Mikami Chiya and Kuntai the news of Yang Sanyuan's brutal murder with righteous indignation.

He said this:

Mr. Yang Sanyuan went up the mountain today and had a cordial meeting with the shareholders of "Yaki Shoji" and successfully completed the share name change.

The major shareholder of "Yaki Shoji", Fujiwara no Miyabi of the Whale Sea Shrine, wants to discuss a business deal with Mr. Yang Sanyuan.

She planned to transport a batch of goods back to the Song Dynasty via Mr. Yang Sanyuan's merchant ship in the name of donating a batch of supplies to Shanyin Longrui Palace.

Therefore, Chief Fujiwara invited Mr. Yang Sanyuan to go to the Whale Sea Shrine for further discussion.

But on the way, they were attacked by a large number of ninjas.

Prince Fujiwara and Mr. Yang Sanyuan fought and fled, and escaped into the Whale Sea Temple.

However, the ninjas set fire to the shrine, and Fujiwara no Miyabi and Mr. Yang Sanyuan were unfortunately killed and buried in the sea of ​​fire.

After hearing this, Chiya Mikami's face suddenly twisted.

He actually wanted to show an expression of grief, but he was a serious and stern warrior. Now that he knew Yang Yuan was actually safe and sound, he couldn't feel sad.

Therefore, with his efforts, his facial expression became more and more ferocious, and his facial features kept moving, but it was impossible to tell whether he was happy, angry, sad or joyful.

Kuntai's performance was even more excessive. After hearing it, he immediately exclaimed and then started dancing with a smile on his face.

Kuntai shook his chubby body, twisted his waist and hips, and waved his hands. If you didn't know, you would think he was celebrating something.

Jiangzhou Lie was about to continue speaking with a sad face, but when he saw Kuntai's expression, he was stunned.

Jiangzhou Lie asked Mikami Chiya with a giggle: "What...what is he doing?"

Gai Huochang came over and explained, "Mr. Kuntai is mourning Mr. Yang Sanyuan. This is the custom in Kuntai's hometown. The deceased has gone to the Buddha's kingdom to enjoy happiness. Relatives and friends should sing and dance to send him off to the Buddha's kingdom. You can't be sad and cry at this time, otherwise he will be reluctant to leave the world, and then he will miss the time when the door to the Buddha's kingdom opens for him."

After saying that, Gai Huozhang pulled Kao Huozhang over and said, "Come on, let's send Mr. Yang Sanyuan off to the kingdom of Buddha together!"

Then, two people joined the dance, and the three of them sang a cheerful song.

Jiangzhou Lie was confused. Seeing that this group of Siamese people were not very reliable, he had to pull San Shang Qianya and the two of them walked aside.

Jiangzhou Lie said seriously: "When Mr. Yang Sanyuan was trapped in the fire, he shouted loudly to the outside world, asking his colleagues in Yaqi Trading to help him seek justice. He is willing to take out his shares in Yaqi Trading to cover the cost of his pursuit of justice.

The abbot of Dashan Temple, Monk Jinghai, and I decided to invest in buying out Mr. Yang Sanyuan's shares, and use the money to organize local temple believers to pay for food and lodging during our trip to Kyoto to seek justice for Yang Sanyuan.

Mikami Chiya was stunned. These people killed people for money and fame. Isn't this too shameless?
Uncle Gou didn’t tell me what to do in this situation.

Jiangzhou Lie took out a "transfer contract" from his arms and said to Mikami Chiya: "It is urgent to launch the 'Ao Su'. Please sign and seal it immediately."

Mikami Chiya hesitated and said, "But we... are not Mr. Yang Sanyuan's family. We don't have the right to sign this resale contract on behalf of his family, right?"

Jiangzhou Lie said seriously: "But if you wait until you return to Song State and bring his family back, it will be too late for anything. As his closest subordinates, you must take on this responsibility.

Besides, the cost of hiring people to search for Mr. Yang Sanyuan's remains in the ruins of the shrine and handling his funeral will all come from here. Even if his family knew, this reason would be justified. "

Chiya Mikami is a samurai with a dull mind, and he can't figure out things like this.

He thought hard and said to Jiang Zhoulie, "Mr. Jiang, please wait a moment. Let's discuss this."

Chiya Mikami walked over, grabbed Kuntai, who was dancing and singing with great enthusiasm, dragged him to the other side of the boat, and then repeated Jiangzhou Lie's words to him.

Kuntai exclaimed: "They are too shameless, aren't they? Let's go and sign the agreement."

Mikami Chiya grabbed him and reminded him, "I can't sign on his behalf without the lord's permission."

Kuntai spread his hands and said, "So, is your signature useful? If not, just sign it. They just want to take away Mr. Yang's shares in a decent way.

They figured that Mr. Yang's family would not come across the ocean to sue, and even if they did, they could use the money spent on cleaning up the ruins and funerals to make trouble. Since Mr. Yang is still alive, will he admit it? Don't worry! "

Chiya Mikami thought about it and realized that it was true, so she followed Kuntai back.

When he walked to Jiangzhou Lie, Kuntai had already signed his name readily and left a complete slap print on the transfer contract.

……

Monk Jinghai hurried back to Dashan Temple and immediately told the shareholders who had not left about the situation.

This incident immediately caused an uproar among the crowd.

You know, although the Wu family is powerful nowadays, the traditional forces still have great potential.

In this case, unless the two sides have already torn their faces apart and directly broke out into armed conflict, extreme measures will not be taken.

This is why they believe that as long as they use the death of Yang Sanyuan to launch a "surrender" and mobilize the power of all classes, they can force the Heike clan to withdraw their claws from Hakata. They do not think that the two sides have now developed to the point where they will fight each other.

But did the Heike recruit ninjas in order to assassinate the leaders of these temples and shrines?
Many of them have heard the news that Ono Mingxi, a wealthy merchant affiliated with Taira no Kiyomori, is recruiting a large number of ninjas.

But according to the news they received, Ono Mingxi did this in order to open up the trade route to a certain country with the intention of helping a powerful noble in that country to murder his monarch.

In the opinion of these temple and shrine leaders, this was most likely a trick by Ono Akihiro to recruit mercenaries for the powerful people of a small country in the Nanyang region to usurp the throne.

Unexpectedly...

Yoshida, an official of the Dazaifu government office, gnashed his teeth and said, "We've been fooled. Ono Akihiro is pretending to build a plank road while secretly crossing the Chencang Pass!"

Monk Jinghai said in a deep voice: "It is obvious that this is the case. Everyone, we can't just sit there and wait for death. Otherwise, the next person to be killed could be you, him, or me."

As his fingers pointed one by one, everyone felt in danger.

Someone asked, "Master Jinghai, what should we do now?"

Monk Jinghai said calmly: "Taira Kiyomori did not show up in person, nor did he send troops. Instead, he sent Ono Mingxi to hire ninjas to attack. This shows that he has no intention of using troops against us now."

Monk Jinghai's eyes sparkled with wisdom, and he said in a deep voice: "We can decisively launch 'Ao Su' to let him see our determination and strength to defend Bodo!

We can contact the temples and shrines in Kyoto, as well as the Fujiwara clan, and take advantage of the fact that the Taira clan is still undecided to let him see our strength. He should be wary of the serious consequences of both sides being hurt, and completely dispel his ambitions for Hakata."

Everyone agreed and nodded.

Right now, it seems that this is the only solution.

After all, if they really want to mobilize troops... they won’t be able to win!

Monk Jinghai said loudly: "Mr. Yoshino is not only the owner of our Yaki Trading Company, but also an official of Dazaifu. He is fair and highly respected. I propose that we elect Mr. Yoshino as the leader to lead us to launch the "Ao Su" and march to Kyoto!"

Monk Jinghai puffed out his chest again and said generously: "My Dashan Temple is willing to bear all the food and lodging expenses for the gods and believers along the way!"

After hearing this, the crowd became even more excited.

When the Yoshino government official heard that Daisenji would be responsible for the cost of launching the "Aosu", but that he would gain the fame and status, he immediately said:

"Everyone, I am willing to take on this responsibility! Considering that Ono Aki has already taken action against Fujiwara no Kami, perhaps you have also become his target.

Therefore, I suggest that you stay in Dashan Temple and do not leave. You can send your trusted people back to gather your warriors, monks, gods, and believers, and gather at Dashan Temple tomorrow morning with the sacred objects!"

"Okay, let's do it!"

"I'll send someone back to gather the troops immediately!"

"Tomorrow morning, we will march to Kyoto!"

Everyone responded.

Yoshino government official, who became the leader of the 18 warlords, could not help but feel very proud for a moment.

With unity, we can achieve great things!

……

"The Heike no longer has the patience to slowly take over Hakata, but he is also wary of the Minamoto family's interference and the counterattack from our court officials and temples and shrines. Therefore, he came up with such a vicious plan!"

In the wooden house by the sea, Fujiwara no Himeka carefully analyzed Taira no Kiyomori's intentions to her two lovers.

However, she had only said half a sentence in Japanese when Yang Yuan hit her thigh with the back of a knife, and then she had no choice but to speak in Chinese.

"What we see on the surface is that the Heike plan is to recruit ninjas to assassinate the leaders of our Hakata temples and shrines. As long as he can successfully kill several temple and shrine leaders, Hakata will be leaderless, and they can brazenly move in, forcefully seize power, and control Hakata in one fell swoop."

"In fact, he used a trick within a trick!"

Fujiwara Himeka gnashed her teeth and said, "This plan within a plan was accomplished by relying on Jinghai Baldy who had been secretly bribed by him."

Yazawa Kanon was kneeling in front of Fujiwara Himeka, gently massaging her bruised calf with medicated oil.

Hearing this, Yazawa Kanon couldn't help but say, "Ah! I understand. Monk Jinghai first came to you to discuss the murder of a certain Kuzu, and then he sought justice for him...ah!"

Before she could finish her words, the scabbard in Yang Yuan's hand hit her butt with a crisp blow.

Yazawa Kanon felt pain, rubbed her butt and looked at Yang Yuan angrily: "You are such a bad person, what are you doing!"

Yang Yuan said calmly: "Next time if you let me hear something I don't understand, you won't be hit by the scabbard."

PS: It's my fault. I wanted to change the time, but a lot of people objected. It's impossible to have a time that satisfies everyone. I won't worry about this issue anymore. Night owls can watch it first, and those who can't stay up late can watch it when they get up early. That's it.
