The most panicked person present was Honjo Mino, who secretly prayed that this was just a misunderstanding. It was the servants in the imperial palace who were greedy and deducted money, food and clothing from the children, and did not involve outsiders.
If it really comes to Uesugi Kenmasa's revenge on the Hojo family, she, Honjo Minoru, is also guilty of negligence.
The most relaxed person in the audience was the kid Uesugi Kagekatsu. She looked at Uesugi Kagetora listening to stories in the arms of the handsome Odaisou, and pulled Uesugi Kagenobu's sleeves with an envious look on his face.
Uesugi Kagenobu warned her to pay attention to her manners with his eyes, which was something she couldn't envy. Behind this tenderness is the need to use a lot of blood to extinguish the anger of the superior.
The two Nagao families can't get involved in this kind of mess, so they can just watch from the shore.
Soon, there was a burst of noise outside.
The servants were driven away and scolded by Warrior Ji, and they knelt in the atrium outside the meeting hall. Like rows of radishes planted in the snow, neat and small.
The Kamao clan has no time to identify these servants, who is responsible for Uesugi Kagetora's daily life.
Because Yiyin doesn't like to use servants to serve daily life, usually the half-grown lolita from Tongxinzhong serve the master. Therefore, there are not many servants in the imperial palace, so we just need to arrest them all for questioning.
A group of men were captured and fell to their knees trembling in fear, their cries filling the atrium.
Yiyin in the room felt irritable when he heard this. At this time, the Hamo clan outside the door had already brought two people in and kowtowed to the ground.
Yiyin asked impatiently.
"Which one of you is responsible for Kagetora's food and daily life?"
The two men looked at each other, one of them bowed with fear on his face.
"Report to the imperial office, I am on duty at the dining room. I am responsible for managing the meals in the imperial palace, but food delivery is not within the scope of my duties."
Another person quickly said.
"To inform the imperial office, I serve the inner court master for daily expenses, but I don't know much about Mr. Kagetora's affairs. I am only responsible for overseeing the overall situation, and I am not meticulous enough to inquire about each one."
Yiyin smiled instead of being angry. The two leaders of the servants were too afraid, and their subconscious sophistry revealed their flaws.
The people arrested in Pu Shengshi Township didn't know why they were arrested, and Yiyin himself didn't even reveal it. They don't know what happened yet, but they have already begun to shirk responsibility. This is a sign of guilty conscience.
Yiyin said casually.
“The two of them were dragged out and chopped, and the family captured them and sent them to the mines to do hard labor.
In Pu Sheng's Township, go out and find a few more knowledgeable people to come in and ask questions. What's the use of keeping this kind of trash that doesn't know anything? "
Kamao clan bowed to accept the order. Just as the warrior Hime next to her was about to drag them away, the two people were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground, shouting that they were wronged.
One person was lying on the ground crying and refused to be dragged away, shouting.
"The Imperial Guard really doesn't want to do anything about us.
We all do things according to the rules, but some people break the rules and warn us not to get into trouble. "
Yiyin sneered.
"You have a heavy responsibility in managing the food and daily life of the palace. You dare not be invisible when others tell you not to?
That’s unreasonable!”
The two of them cried bitterly and fell to the ground, not daring to ask for life for themselves, but only for mercy for their families.
Where were the mines in the Middle Ages where people went? Mines excavated without scientific calculations will collapse from time to time. Every piece of ore dug out is made of human blood.
Yiyin looked at them, feeling really angry and pitiful.
The men in this world are not as strong as Samurai Ji due to their lack of physical strength and lack of natural muscles. In ancient times when violence was respected, he gradually became a subordinate of women, which is completely different from Yiyin's previous life.
Yiyin dislikes the humble male dominance in this world. His daily life is left to the same people to take care of, and he rarely uses servants.
But at this time, seeing them crying miserably, his heart softened and he said.
"I'll give you one more chance to explain clearly what's going on?"
The two of them stopped begging for mercy and looked at each other, neither of them daring to speak first. Just when Yiyin was waiting impatiently, someone kowtowed to the ground and said.
"On the Imperial Palace, several new valets came to the Imperial Palace a while ago. They were all recommended by His Highness Kenmasa Uesugi, and we dare not refuse."
Before he could finish speaking, Terutora Uesugi, who was watching from the sidelines, suddenly spoke.
"How dare you, a lowly servant, covet the clothes and food rations, and treat my adopted daughter poorly! What is going on in this imperial palace!
Honjo Sano, is this the land of Joetsu that you manage for me? You have let me down too much! "
Terutora Uesugi interrupted the valet's words and refused to let him continue speaking. Instead, he accused Honjo Sano.
Honjo Shino felt bitter in her heart, but she knew that she had to swallow this dead rat thrown by her master.
This incident was undoubtedly the result of Kenmasa Uesugi taking revenge on Uesugi Kagetora, the daughter of Hojo Ujiyasu, for killing his heir.
But Terutora Uesugi couldn't let the head maid reveal this matter, otherwise how would it end?
Uesugi Kenmasa is her adoptive mother, and the retired former governor of the Yamauchi Uesugi family.
This time the army went south, Uesugi Kenmasa came forward to persuade Nagao Tocho of Ashikaga Castle in Shimono Province to surrender. This fully shows that Uesugi Constitution is still very influential in Kanbazhou.
Not to mention the other Guanbazhou martial arts families, only the long tail should be long. She now holds two important pieces of land, Ashikaga Castle and Tatebayashi Castle, and is Uesugi Teruhora's most trusted former minister.
Uesugi Teruhu could not quarrel with Kenmasa Uesugi, her adoptive mother. Just check some things out. If it is really exposed, no one will be able to step down.
Therefore, after Uesugi Teruhora figured out the truth, he immediately took over the conversation and did not let the head maid continue to speak. Instead, he accused Honjo Minoru of dereliction of duty.
What can Honjo Minoru do? She was also helpless, she had to bear the blame. The master only gives you the blame because he believes in you. This is called trust.
Honjo Sano came forward and bowed, and said with sincerity and fear.
"My lord, please calm down. This is all my fault. It was me who failed to take good care of Jing Huji and allowed these untouchables to tarnish your honor."
Yoshigan Shiba stroked Uesugi Kagetora's little head and watched Uesugi Kagetora's performance silently.
Of course he knew not to break up with each other. Uesugi Kenmasa had a special status.
However, Uesugi Kenmasa didn't take him as his protector seriously and dared to attack Uesugi Kagetora in the palace. There was always a price to pay.
Honjo Minoru kowtowed to the angry Terutora Uesugi to admit his mistake, and then carefully looked at the calm Yoshigan Shiba.
The calmer Yi Gin looked, the more panicked Honjo Mino felt. She gritted her teeth and shouted.
"Somebody come!"
Uesugi Teruatora's Hatamoto all looked at their master. Uesugi Teruatora nodded slightly, and all the Hatamotos stepped forward and cheered.
Honjo Minoru ordered with a murderous look on his face.
"Drag all these despicable servants down! Cut off their heads and throw them outside the city to feed the wild dogs!"
"Hi!"
Uesugi Hatamoto and his subordinates acted quickly and dragged down the two leaders of the servitors. The two of them still tried to struggle, but were hit hard in the ribs with an elbow. The pain almost caused them to faint, and then they were pushed away.
The sliding door was closed, and the heart-wrenching sounds of begging for mercy and the sound of knives coming from the waiters were heard outside the door. After a while, it was as quiet as night.
In the room, Uesugi Kagetora, who was in Yoshigan's arms, stared blankly at the tightly closed sliding door, wondering what he was thinking.
Yiyin slowly put her down, and then pulled out the sheath he was wearing.
"Kagetora."
"Hi!"
"Do you know what Yuanfu is?"
"Back at the Imperial Palace, Yuanfu is Ji Jiji, and he has grown up."
Yiyin nodded and put the ribs into her hand. The young body holds the ribs, just like the length of an adult Hime Samurai wearing a katana.
She is just a child, Yiyin sighed secretly and said with a solemn expression.
"Kagetora has become a Yuanfu and is a brave Ji warrior. From now on, he must rely on his own strength to survive.
You are the adopted daughter of His Highness Uesugi. No one can despise you or hurt you. Do you understand? "
Uesugi Kagetora's face showed a perseverance that a child should not have, and he kowtowed to Yoshigashi Shiba and said.
"Thank you for your teaching."
Then, she bowed to Uesugi Teruhora and apologized.
"I'm sorry, Mother, I've caused you trouble."
A glint flashed in Uesugi Terutora's eyes, he was worthy of being Hojo Ujiyasu's kind, and his attitude reflected this, surpassing that of many adult Hime samurai.
Uesugi Teruhora glanced at Yoshiyin, feeling a little uneasy. Would he be dissatisfied with himself if he interrupted his inquiry and committed suicide to end the matter without authorization?
At this time, Uesugi Teruhora nodded slightly and said to the respectful Uesugi Kagetora.
"You are my adopted daughter and you deserve to be respected and treated well. This matter is not your fault."
Honjo Minoru intervened at the right time, bowed and said.
"This is my mistake, please punish me."
Shiba Yoshigami glanced at it and said before Uesugi Teruhu.
"I think Uesugi Kagetora is smart, but he can't get the guidance of a famous teacher in this palace. Honjo-hime, are you willing to teach this child?"
Uesugi Teruhora looked at Shiba Yoshigan, and Shiba Yoshigan was also looking at her.
Honjo Minoru had taught Uesugi Teruatora back then, and was the leader of Uesugi Teruatora's direct subordinates and the Hatamoto line.
Yoshigan Shiba pushed Uesugi Kagetora under Honjo Minoru's door, and she would definitely get close to Uesugi Kagetora's group of direct ministers.
Uesugi Teruatora has no heirs yet. If Uesugi Kagetora gets on well with the Naoomidan, will he become their spokesperson in the future and even be qualified to succeed Uesugi Teruatora?
You know, the Wu family cares more about the interests of the entire Wu family group than blood. It would be interesting if one day a descendant of Hojo Ujiyasu could actually take over the Yamauchi Uesugi family.
Of course Honjo Mino did not dare to respond to this suggestion. She looked at her master pitifully.
Teruhora Uesugi looked back at Yoshigashi Shiba, knowing that he was expressing dissatisfaction.
Uesugi Kenmasa was causing trouble in the imperial palace and wanted to kill Uesugi Kagetora, but he didn't take him seriously.
Terutora Uesugi wants to make peace, no problem. Let Uesugi Kagetora, the adopted daughter, receive the treatment that an adopted daughter deserves, instead of being a prisoner with the title of adopted daughter.
Isn’t Kensei Uesugi trying to cause trouble? I, Shiba Yoshigan, will make Uesugi Kagetora the adopted daughter with the official title of the Yamauchi Uesugi family.
Looking at Shiba Yoshigan's stern eyes, Uesugi Teruhu nodded slowly and said.
"I also like this child. Why don't you let me take care of him and teach him on my behalf?"
As soon as this statement came out, Uesugi Kagetora's status was confirmed. Honjo Minoru became her guardian. If something happens again next time, she will be held responsible and must commit hara-kiri.
Uesugi Kagenobu, who was watching from the sidelines, felt her heart palpitate, and she subconsciously looked at Uesugi Kagekatsu beside her. The child still looked innocent and couldn't understand the scene in front of him.
Shiba Yoshigan's counterattack was a slap on Uesugi Kenmasa's face, which also gave Uesugi Kagetora a real opportunity to integrate into the Uesugi family.
Terutora Uesugi was unmarried and had no heirs. Although she wholeheartedly pursues Shiba Yiyin, she has not yet decided on this matter.
Once something unexpected happened to Teru Uesugi, the person who could succeed her was Kagekatsu Uesugi, her brother's daughter.
But because Yoshigami Shiba led Uesugi Kagetora to the Honjo Minoru to teach him, this adopted daughter became involved with Naoomi's side members.
Honjo Minoru, Kakizaki Keie, Saito Asanobu and other concubines who were born in Uesugi Flag, each hold heavy troops.
If Terutora Uesugi has two shortcomings, will they support Uesugi Kagekatsu, a long-tailed blood relative with no interests, or Uesugi Kagetora, who was raised by his own group?
Uesugi Kei is always a little uneasy in his confidence, and the future of the Uesugi family becomes increasingly hazy and unpredictable. Now, she only hopes that Terutora Uesugi can really marry Yoshihiro Shiba.
The children of these two people are the best heirs to the Echigo Group. The heir who can unite everyone and prevent civil strife.
————
The meeting ended on bad terms, with Honjo Minoru and Uesugi Kagenobu taking their children to say goodbye. When Kagetora Uesugi left, he was still holding the rib gift given by Yoshigoshi Shiba in his hand.
There were only two people left in the room, Yoshigan Shiba and Terutora Uesugi. Yoshigan took a deep breath, and Terutora Uesugi looked at him and said.
"Is Duke Qianxin angry with me?
It’s not that I want to overstep my bounds, it’s just that Uesugi Kenmasa’s status is special and it’s really difficult to touch her easily. Please forgive me. "
Teruhora Uesugi bowed slightly, his attitude sincere. Yiyin reluctantly returned the gift and accepted her apology.
But in Yoshigan's heart, he was not angry because of Kenmasa Uesugi's offense. He was sad that the Wu family was so cruel that an innocent child was involved in this dispute.
It is even more sad for those servants who died tragically. Most of them knew nothing about this matter. Their tragic deaths in the courtyard were really unjust and only affected Chiyu.
If Uesugi Teruhu wanted to cover up this matter, all possible insiders would die.
However, Uesugi Kagetora received a rib cage gifted by Shiba Yoshigan and became a teacher of Honjo Mino. He was destined to embark on a difficult road of survival at a young age.
This is where Yiyin's depression lies.
Whenever he almost forgets that this is a cruel and troubled time of the Wu family, there are always countless people and things that remind him of the cruelty of this world from various incredible angles.
No one is spared, no one survives. Either die or fight.
Yoshigami smiled reluctantly and said to Terutora Uesugi.
"Your Highness Uesugi did the right thing. It is indeed not appropriate to involve Uesugi Kenmasa in this matter."
Teru Uesugi nodded.
"I'm very grateful that you understand. Please rest assured that I guarantee this will not happen again.
Kagetora Uesugi is my adopted daughter, and she should receive the education and status that an adopted daughter deserves. Any assassination against her is a provocation against myself.
The blood of the servants in the atrium will alert my adoptive mother. After all, Uesugi Kagetora is also her adopted granddaughter.
I believe she will know how to advance and retreat. "
