Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

"But he didn't do that at all. Instead of calming things down, he was fanning the flames!"

Everyone nodded in agreement as they listened to Okamoto Juroku's words.

"So, you mean someone inside wants to purge dissidents?" Okamoto Juzo asked.

Xiao Ce nodded.

Okamoto Juzo asked Xiao Ce, "So who are they going to kill? Is it a purge of dissidents within the Illuminati?"

Xiao Ce said to Okamoto Juzo, "Not only... but also not necessarily... the Emperor hasn't come out yet, has he?"

After Xiao Ce said that, everyone craned their necks to look inside.

After watching for a while, I still didn't see the Emperor come out.

"Could the Emperor really be dead?" Okamoto Juzo said as he watched.

Then, seeing that Tojo Seisuke and his group had just organized themselves and were preparing to rush in, he intervened to mediate.

Xiao Ce said to Okamoto Juzo, "Lord, this is such a good opportunity... hurry up and do them a favor... go and stop them from going in..."

Okamoto Juzo was taken aback, then asked Xiao Ce, "He wants to cause trouble... so let them die... why stop him?"

Xiao Ce said to Okamoto Juzo, "Lord, if Tokugawa Heiyasu really is someone the Illuminati hired... then, once the Emperor is eliminated, if the Tojo family is also implicated, and only your family is left... do you think you can still be a match for the Tokugawa Heiyasu family that the Illuminati supports?"

One of Okamoto Juzo's strengths is his ability to listen to opinions...

After hearing what Okamoto Juzo said, he didn't say a word and directly waved to Tojo Seisuke, signaling him to come over.

Seeing Okamoto Juzo's appearance, Tojo Seisuke hurriedly walked over.

Because gunfire had already started raging inside, and it was getting increasingly intense.

"What's wrong, Okamoto family head? This isn't the time for chatting."

Okamoto Juzo said to Tojo Seisuke, "Who's chatting with you...? I'm not chatting with you, I'm here to give you some advice..."

Tojo Seisuke looked at Okamoto Juzo with a puzzled expression: "It's practically turned into a complete mess inside?"

Okamoto Juzo then briefly summarized their analysis.

At this moment, Tojo Senichi walked over and nodded repeatedly: "Father, what the head of the Okamoto family said is right...that's indeed the truth...I was wondering why this happened so inexplicably."

Tojo Seisuke said, "If this happens on our turf... and we do nothing, we'll definitely get caught up in it..."

Seeing this, Okamoto Juzo said to Tojo Seisuke, "Then it's up to you... I can't say much more... But you should know that the people inside were originally intended to be killed by Tokugawa Heiji, but they weren't killed because you went in. Do you think you might have offended them...?"

"After they fail, they'll make you take the blame... Anyway, I don't care... If you're going, you'd better hurry up..."

At this moment, Tojo Senichi stepped forward and whispered to Tojo Seisuke, "Father, we can go later... He's right... They can't blame us for anything. The Illuminati started by cursing and then killed Tokugawa Heiyasu's men. The Illuminati were in the wrong first! It's understandable that Tokugawa Heiyasu resisted. Although we are their pawns, pawns also have human rights."

"It's not our fault! On the contrary, since we got involved, we'll be in a difficult position when people blame us..."

Xiao Ce stepped forward and said, “Head of the Tojo family, you can surround this place now and set up a trap to prevent either side from escaping... Then notify the Illuminati and let them handle it... You just need to protect the scene and wait for them to finish fighting before taking people into custody.”

"For those who haven't died, give them treatment..."

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Okamoto Juzo nodded repeatedly and then said, "That's right, that makes sense!"

Tojo Senichi listened and felt that what Xiao Ce said made a lot of sense. "Father, I think this gentleman makes a lot of sense!"

After finishing his sentence, Tojo Senichi turned to Xiao Ce and said, "Sir, could someone from your Okamoto family work with us on this matter?"

This Tojo Senichi is actually quite clever...

Okamoto Juzo did not answer, but looked at Xiao Ce instead.

Xiao Ce nodded and said, "Of course that's possible..."

Okamoto Juzo waved his hand and said to Tojo Seisuke, "Well then, Tojo Seisuke, we'll do whatever you say... You decide."

Tojo Seisuke nodded to Okamoto Juzo without any ceremony, then called over Tojo Takeyama and began to give instructions.

Okamoto Juzo and his group were still watching from a distance.

"Firstly, don't you think this is like giving them a huge gift?"

Xiao Ce was very eloquent. He said to Okamoto Juzo, "Lord, you're being too polite... It was you who did them a favor. What does it have to do with me?"

Okamoto Juzo listened and nodded: "Hahaha, yes, yes, yes! Do you think they'll buy it?"

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "It definitely will..."

After setting up a tight encirclement, Tojo Takeyama spoke with Tojo Seisuke.

Tojo Seisuke shouted from outside, "Both sides inside...please restrain yourselves...calm down...we're all on the same side...you've surrounded us! We've already reported what's happening here to the Illuminati..."

"Now that you've all surrendered, I promise I won't harm you... However, if you resist, we, representing the Illuminati, will suppress you..."

As Tojo Seisuke shouted, the sounds of gunfire inside lessened somewhat.

Tojo Seisuke looked at Tojo Senichi: "That person is really a talent."

In fact, these were all opinions that Tojo Senichi sought out when he accompanied Xiao Ce.

These arguments were also taught to me by Xiao Ce, and now they sound perfectly plausible...

Tojo Senichi said, "That's right, Father. Do you think Tokugawa Heiyasu was also bribed by the Illuminati?"

Tojo Seisuke said, "Indeed, I was shocked when the Tokugawa family initially rebelled, but after Okamoto Juro's reminder, I suddenly realized what was going on. We all overlooked the mindset of Tokugawa Heiji and his men after suffering such enormous losses..."

Tojo Senichi said, "That's right... They seem too calm... They were once an equal to us, a family that was unique in military affairs in Japan, but now they've fallen to the lowest rung of society. How could he not hate them... How could he not react at all... He must be lying low..."

Tojo Seisuke listened and nodded: "That's right! I didn't realize it before, but now that I think about it carefully, it really is true! Tokugawa Heiyasu has always been a very competitive person. No matter what, he always wants to compete with me to see who is better! I always thought he had resigned himself to his fate, but now it seems that I was terribly wrong!"

Before Tojo Senichi could respond, a voice came from the side: "We're out! We won't resist... Tojo Seisuke!"

The voice belonged to none other than Tokugawa Heiyasu.

Tokugawa Heiji and his entourage all raised their hands, indicating that they were unarmed...

They all came out neatly and orderly.

Looking at their expressions, the excitement from before was completely gone, replaced only by calm.

Seeing their expressions, Tojo Senichi said to Tojo Seisuke, "Father, if Okamoto Juzo and the others hadn't reminded us, we might have been tricked..."

Tojo Seisuke gave a cold laugh: "That's right! It seems the Emperor is already dead before he even came out!"

Tojo Sen nodded with an unpleasant expression.

As Tokugawa Heiji and his entourage emerged, Tojo Seisuke said, "Don't resist. I know you're forced into this. For now, we'll help you..."

After listening to Tojo Seisuke's words, Tokugawa Heiyasu smiled slightly: "Tojo, you do what you say. We'll do whatever you say... We won't resist."

Then, Tokugawa Heiyasu said very calmly, "No one in the Tokugawa family is allowed to resist. The head of the Tojo family is on our side."

After Tokugawa Heiyasu and the rest of the Tokugawa family all came out.

Xiao Ce and his group wanted to see if more people would come out.

However, apart from the Tokugawa Heiyasu family, none of the members of the Illuminati who were surrounded by them came out.

So, Okamoto Juzo, full of curiosity, led him inside.

Xiao Ce followed behind, somewhat prepared for what was about to happen.

However, once inside, the visual impact on Xiao Ce was still quite significant.

Although Xiao Ce had witnessed the horrors of war before, the scene before him was still one of corpses everywhere.

And remains...

These members of the Illuminati died a horrific death; not only were their bodies scattered everywhere, but not a single one survived.

It's mainly this smell: blood, gunpowder, and burnt meat.

After looking at it for a while, Xiao Ce gagged and then pushed it out.

At that moment, the members of the Tokugawa Heiyasu family were arrested.

They did not resist.

When Xiao Ce saw Tojo Senichi approaching, he pretended to want to vomit.

Tojo Senichi didn't go in either, but instead started talking to Xiao Ce: "Okamoto Kazusa, are you alright?"

Xiao Ce was somewhat surprised that the man recognized him and could even say his name.

He nodded, then said, "It's nothing...it's nothing...Young master, do you recognize me?"

Tojo Senichi smiled at Xiao Ce and said, "I've heard of you."

After hearing Tojo Senichi's words, Xiao Ce rolled his eyes at her inwardly. So what if she investigated?

I've heard a little about it... and what they're saying is quite hypocritical...

Although he was internally complaining, he still pretended to gag.

Just now, Xiao Ce did feel extremely disgusted, but mainly it was the smell that he couldn't stand.

He recovered after smelling the fresh breath outside.

The reason Tojo Senichi came over was simply to maintain his image as an ordinary citizen. After all, it wouldn't be right for an ordinary citizen to remain calm after seeing the scene inside!

While comforting Xiao Ce, Tojo Senichi stuck her head out and asked, "How is it inside?"

Xiao Ce's acting was still on point. He waved his hand at Tojo Senichi and said, "Not a single one alive! They're all...all dead...not even a few intact corpses...yue..."

As he spoke, Xiao Ce then asked Tojo Senichi to go in and take a look.

Tojo Senichi waved his hands repeatedly.

"Forget it, I can't really accept it either..."

A short while later, Okamoto Juzo also came out, cursing and swearing.

"That Tokugawa Heijiyasu was truly ruthless... What a deep-seated hatred, what a great injustice... that not a single body was found intact..."

Tojo Senichi stepped forward and hurriedly bowed to Okamoto Juzo, asking, "Uncle Juzo, how is it? How is the Emperor? How is the Emperor?"

Okamoto Juzo shook his head and said, "What else can we do? If we were still alive, we would have made it through!"

As he spoke, he cursed, "They're all broken!"
