Text Chapter 313 "The shogunate is too much!" (12,000 words today)

It wasn't until they were all thrown to the ground by Ogata that the four young men finally saw who was "assaulting" them.

After seeing Ogata... To be precise, it should be the samurai sword on Ogata's waist, the faces of the four youths immediately turned pale.

The person whose face turned pale, as well as the onlookers, as well as the boy and the little girl who were rescued by Ogata just now.

Grab it, grab it. Just as Ogata was about to say something out loud, the four youths immediately scrambled away from Ogata's field of vision.

As for the onlookers around, as well as the boy and the little girl, whether they were lying or sitting, they all knelt down on the ground in the most respectful and standard Dogeza posture, and walked respectfully towards Ogata. present.

"...Ayi, it's really strange..." A-Ming, who was standing next to Ogata, put his lips next to Ogata's ear and said softly, "People here...seem to be afraid of samurai... ..."

"Yeah." Ogata nodded lightly, and replied softly like A-Machi at a volume that only the two of them could hear clearly, "It seems that's true...the people here are seeing the knife on my waist Afterwards, it was like seeing a ghost..."

Ogata cleared his throat.

Then he said loudly to everyone present:

"Everyone, don't be afraid."

"I'm just a passing samurai. I don't have any malice towards you."

After hearing Ogata's words, and seeing that Ogata did not do anything malicious, the panic on the faces of the people present gradually disappeared and they regained their composure.

"...Master Samurai, thank you." The young man who still had a little panic on his face said respectfully, "Thank you for your help just now..."

"It's just a little effort." Ogata said casually, "What are your and your sister's names?"

"The villain's name is "Douzhu", and the younger sister's name is "Achu."

"Dousuke and Ade...the names are very nice and easy to remember." Ogata said while taking out his copy of the map of Kyoto from his pocket, "Dousuke, Ade. Ask you two one by one. Question: Do you know where Sanjiji Street is in Kyoto?"

After finishing speaking, Ogata handed the map to Dosuke and Ah Chu in front of him.

However——in the face of the map Ogata handed over, Dosuke and Aide looked at me and I looked at you, but no one reached out to take it.

"What's wrong?" Ogata asked.

"...Master Samurai." Dosuke gritted his teeth, "We... are so dirty... Do you mind if our hands dirty your map?"

"I don't mind." Ogata said without thinking, "In my eyes, whether it is a samurai or a filthy man, there is no difference. They are just ordinary people struggling to live in the world."

"If I would despise you because of your identities, I would not have helped you just now."

Hearing what Ogata said just now, the eyes of Dosuke and Ahide flashed an unspeakable strange light.

"...Master Samurai, you are so strange." Dosuke let out a few laughs with complicated emotions, "It's still... the first time I see a samurai who doesn't discriminate against us..."

"I don't know where Third Prince Street is, but Yazhi-sama might know."

After finishing speaking, Dosuke turned his head and shouted to the crowd behind him:

"Master Yazhi! Do you know where the Third Prince Street is?"

As soon as Dousuke finished speaking, an old man with white beard and hair about 60 years old leaned on a broken crutch and stood up from the ground unsteadily.

Yazhi ignored Dosuke's question just now, but shouted at Dosuke and Ahide in a stern tone:

"Douzhu! Ah Chu! What were you two doing just now!"

"How many times have I said this! We must recognize our identities!"

"We are Udo!"

"How can Xie Duo contradict civilians!"

"How dare you contradict the civilians like this just now,

Even if you are beaten to death by civilians on the spot, you will not feel that you died in vain! "

Yazhi's reprimand made Dosuke and Ode's faces turn ugly instantly.

"We didn't do anything wrong!" Ah Chu shouted first, "The four of them accidentally kicked my brother who was lying on the side of the road and sleeping!"

"It's obviously their own fault, but I still want my brother to kneel down and apologize to them! Blame my brother for polluting their feet!"

"Even if we didn't make any mistakes, we filthy ones can't contradict the civilians!" Mi Zhi shouted angrily, "Even if it's not our fault, we can't disobey the civilians or the samurai in the slightest!"

"If you are dirty, you must look like a dirty person!"

"Also! How did you talk to those 4 civilians and this samurai just now?"

"Have you forgotten how I usually educate you?"

"When talking to civilians and warriors, remember to put your hands in front of your mouth to avoid spraying the 'filth' from your own mouth on others!"

"A few days ago, there was a fool who was as young and ignorant as the two of you. He didn't cover his mouth and nose when he was talking to a commoner, and was beaten to death by that commoner!"

"Civilians have their own way of living, and we have our own way of living if we are filthy!"

巘戅巘戅. "If we, Lido, want to live a good life, we must obediently follow this living method that has been passed down from generation to generation since ancient times."

After reprimanding Dosuke and Aide in a harsh tone until they were speechless, Yazhi put on a proficient flattering smile, put the palm of his right hand in front of his mouth, and acted with utmost respect. Asaogata said in a tone of voice:

"Sorry, Samurai-sama, I don't know where the Third Prince Street is in Kyoto?"

"And does anyone else here know where Third Princes Street is?"

Yashi turned back for Ogata, and turned his questioning eyes to the other people behind him.

No one answered.

"I'm sorry, Samurai-sama." Yazhi turned his head back, and continued to show Ogata a flattering smile, "We are all dirty, and we can only stay in our one-acre three-point land on weekdays, and we cannot go out at will , although we have all lived in Kyoto since childhood, we are actually not that familiar with Kyoto..."

Ogata looked at Yashi who was still smiling flatteringly.

Yazhi's eyes were dull, almost without a trace of expression.

The face is smiling, but the eyes are not smiling at all.

When Dosuke and Dede were reprimanded just now, Yazhi's eyes were also so dull.

Ogata raised his head and looked at the other people present.

Grab it, grab it. Everyone else present was like Yazhi, with dull eyes and no expression other than "numbness" on their faces.

Only the eyes of those who are younger are not "dead", and they still look at Ogata curiously.

Looking at the group of people in front of him, Ogata suddenly felt mixed feelings...

After Ogata put away the map, Ogata bowed lightly to the people in front of him:

"Sorry to bother you. Goodbye."

巘戅 lol novel network 巘戅. After saying goodbye to Masuke and the others briefly, Ogata led Machi away from Masuke and the others.

Before they had gone far, Ogata and Atachi heard footsteps behind them.

Xunsheng turned his head back, and found that Dosuke was running towards Ogata and his sister holding the hand of his sister Achu.

"Master Samurai, are you planning to go to Third Prince Street?"

"Yeah." Ogata nodded slightly.

"Although I don't know where Third Prince Street is, I can show you the way and take you out of this burnt area." Dosuke said, "I am familiar with this area, and I know a shortcut to get out of here quickly! "

"Is that so..." Ogata said softly, "Then—I'll trouble you."

Dosuke and Ade go ahead, leading the way for Ogata and Acho.

Following Dosuke and walking towards the outside of the burnt area, Ogata saw many residents of the burnt area lying on the side of the road or under the ruins in various postures.

Without exception, these residents all showed fear after seeing the knife on Ogata's waist.

"... Dosuke."

"I am here."

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Master Samurai, please tell me."

"Dousuke, why do people here look so strange when they see the samurai sword on my waist?"

After stepping into the burned area and meeting the residents living in the burned area, Ogata and Atachi found that the residents living in the burned area seemed to be afraid of Ogata, who was a samurai. Behind the samurai swords, all of them were pale.

Although in this era, samurai are the ruling class of this country, but Ogata has traveled to many places in Japan so far, and this is the first time he has seen people who are so afraid of samurai.

"...Master Samurai, don't you know?"

"You should be able to hear my accent, right? I'm a foreigner, and I don't know everything about Kyoto."

"...To welcome Munemuku Tokugawa, the daimyo of the Owari Clan who came to Kyoto again this year to watch the Gion Festival, the governor of Kyoto...that bastard Toda Tadahiro issued a very hateful order."

Dosuke said softly.

"In order not to let Munemu Tokugawa discover that there are still so many people still living in the burned area without a fixed place, eating and sleeping in the open, Toda Tadahiro commanded the samurai to move those who lived in the burned area closest to the Nijo Imperial Palace to The people were all driven away."

"The samurai's method of driving away the residents of the burnt area was quite rough. Anyone who refused to leave obediently beat and kicked..."

"The brutality of the samurai has aroused everyone's dissatisfaction."

"Although there were some people who couldn't bear it, they also made a resistance, and took up wooden sticks and stone bricks to resist the warriors."

"But these people are not many, only some civilians..."

"How can civilians with sticks and bricks be opponents of warriors with swords..."

"The resistance of these people was quickly suppressed."

"The reason why everyone is so scared when they see the knife in your waist is because everyone thinks that the samurai are coming again and driving them away..."

Speaking of this, Dosuke turned his head and looked at something far away beside him.

Ogata followed Dosuke's line of sight and looked together.

What Domesuke was looking at was a majestic and majestic city.

Looking at this majestic and majestic city, Ogata muttered softly in a volume that only he could hear clearly:

"Erjo Castle..."

Nijo Castle, also known as Nijo Imperial Palace, is the residence of the shoguns of the Edo Shogunate in Kyoto.

It is a symbol of the power of the Edo shogunate.

Even if you are far away, you can still see this majestic and magnificent city.

Even if you are far away, you can still see the candlelight in Nijo Castle at this time.

Ogata had heard from Makimura and the others that just tonight, Tokugawa Munemu, the daimyo of the Owari Clan, will hold a grand banquet in Nijo Castle, and all the dignitaries and dignitaries in and around Kyoto will attend the banquet.

The 28 ninjas in Shiranui who are currently cooperating with the shogunate are in charge of the defense of Nijo Castle tonight...

At this moment, the waiters in Nijo Castle should be preparing for the banquet that is about to start.

"The shogunate... is too much..."

There was a strong cry in Dosuke's voice.

Ah Chu, who was standing beside Douzhu, was also looking like he was about to cry.

Ah De stretched out his two little hands, wrapping Dosuke's naturally hanging small fist.

"Obviously everyone is human, but they insist on creating ranks of warriors, commoners, and filthy ones!"

"In order to hide my ugliness, I drove everyone away without explanation!"

"If you don't want Tokugawa Zongmu to see that there are still such people living in no fixed place, then find a way to help us rebuild our homeland! Just drive us away from under our noses, what is it!!"

Mamesuke roared at Nijo Castle.

However, Dousuke's roar was destined not to reach the ears of those in Erjo Castle or the Erjo Castle...

...

...

There are 2 prisons in Kyoto.

These two prisons are located in the north and south of the city respectively, and are under the jurisdiction of the enforcement office.

At this moment, the prison in the south of the city ushered in a group of uninvited guests.

A middle-aged man in a special black uniform led two young men towards the prison in the south of the city.

The two youths following the middle-aged man, one is handsome, the other is extravagant and has an excellent temperament.

Because these two youths were so eye-catching, when this group of people marched towards the prison in the south of the city, they attracted the attention of many people—especially women.

Of course—there were also some knowledgeable people who recognized the black uniform worn by the middle-aged man walking ahead, and looked at the middle-aged man with curious and doubtful eyes.

"Look...that's the uniform Huofu Thief changed..."

"Isn't the Fire Bandit Kai mainly active in the Edo area? Why are there officials from the Fire Bandit Kai here in our capital?"

"Although the Huofu Thief Kai is mainly active in Edo, they occasionally go to various parts of Japan to capture some important criminals..."

"Is there any vicious arsonist or thief who fled to the vicinity of Kyoto..."

...

The middle-aged man and the two young men who followed him turned a deaf ear to the discussions of the people around him.

These three people strode to the gate of the prison in the south of the city, and the two guards guarding the gate vigilantly tilted the long wooden sticks in their hands.

The slanted wooden sticks of the two guards came together to form an "x" and stopped the middle-aged man and the two youths at the door.

Before the two guards had time to ask who was coming, the middle-aged man said loudly:

"The chief officer of Shimonohuo Fu Thief Kai-Hasegawa Heizo."

"Let your Ishide bring a sword—Ogami Hiroyuki come to see me, I have an urgent matter to discuss with him."
