Listening to Hojogawa's emotion, Watanabe Kenjiro asked in confusion:
"Love debt? Abandoned son? Dare you ask Uncle Hojo what's going on..."
Hojogawa recalled the sermon:
"Kenjiro, this happened almost thirty years ago. Your father Yuutake Watanabe should know something!"
"Although Muto Masaaki is the legitimate son of the Muto family, he also has an older brother named Muto Heizo. As the eldest son of the Muto family, Muto Heizo was the first heir of the Muto family at that time. Muto Masaaki now owns Everything originally belonged to Muto Heizo!"
"If Muto Masaaki is a tolerant, cunning, and ruthless fox, then Muto Heizo is like a strong, domineering tiger!"
"But because they share the same mother, the two brothers Muto Masaaki and Muto Heizo have a pretty good relationship!"
Speaking of which, Hojogawa paused for a moment, and then asked Watanabe Kenjiro:
"Kenjiro, do you know about the Reiwa changes thirty years ago?"
Kenjiro Watanabe was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then nodded quickly and said:
"Of course I know that for thirty years the Ishihara family rebelled and their troops were directed towards Heian Kyo!"
Hojo Chuan frowned slightly when he heard this, his thoughts seemed to have returned to that night thirty years ago and he said in a deep voice:
"At that time, in order to seize power, the Ishihara family united with the Koka ninjas to assassinate the shogunate leader. Ishihara Heizo was also on the list of people to be assassinated... ·······》
After hearing this, Watanabe Kenjiro said directly without waiting for Hojogawa to continue:
"So Muto Heizo died due to an assassination by the Ishihara family?"
Hearing this, Hojo River said in a deep voice:
"The Ishihara family did have Koga ninjas assassinate Muto Heizo, and the Muto family also claimed that Muto Heizo died due to the assassination of Koga ninjas!"
"I thought so at the time and thought this was the truth of the matter, but today I think there may be another answer to the matter!"
Kenjiro Watanabe blinked when he heard this, and cautiously said tentatively:
"Are you saying that Muto Masaaki killed Muto Heizo?"
Facing Kenjiro Watanabe's gaze, Hojogawa nodded slightly and analyzed:
"The head of the Muto family at that time was Muto Masaaki, and Muto Heizo's father Muto Hirobumi was already terminally ill and could die at any time!"
"Muto Heizo has taken over the power of the Muto family and has almost become the de facto head of the Muto family. Once Muto Hirobumi passes away and Muto Heizo officially takes over the Muto family, Muto Masaaki will have no chance at all!"
"So at that juncture, it was Muto Masaaki's last chance. If he wants to become the head of the Muto family, then he must seize the opportunity to kill Muto Heizo!"
"And Muto Masaaki is accompanied by the Muto family's most proficient ninja in assassination - Akiyama!"
"Back then Akiyama was sent by Muto Hirobumi to protect Muto Masaaki, and according to reliable information, Muto Masaaki used sweet words to obtain the body and mind of this beautiful ninja of the Muto family... ········》
"And after Muto Heizo died, this beautiful ninja Akiyama never appeared again!"
"So I have reason to believe that although the Ishihara family sent Koga ninjas to assassinate Muto Heizo, they did not really kill Muto Heizo!"
"Muto Heizo actually probably died at the hands of Akiyama sent by his brother Muto Masaaki, and Muto Masaaki was a man who did great things. He was so ruthless and vicious that he even killed his own brother for the power of the head of the family. Even if he kills someone, he will naturally not be reluctant to let go of a woman, so he will definitely not let Akiyama continue to live!"
"He will definitely kill people and silence them so that no one in the world knows the truth about his brother-killing and seizing power!"
Hearing Hojogawa's narration about Mi Xin back then, Watanabe Kenjiro was also shocked and speechless. After a while, he still asked with some confusion:
"Uncle Hojo, even if it's really martial arts
Fujizaki Akira really killed his brother and seized power, but what does this have to do with these Zhou people? "
Faced with Kenjiro Watanabe's questioning, Hojogawa waved his hand to signal him to calm down, and then preached again:
"Do you still remember that ninja Piaoxu from a few years ago?"
Hearing the name "Piaoxu", Watanabe Kenjiro couldn't help but shudder, then nodded with some fear and said:
"Uncle Hojo, of course I remember this witch. She killed so many people. How could I forget her? It is said that she seems to be related to the Muto family... ·····》
"But it is said that she went to the palace a few years ago and then disappeared. She never appeared on the East Island again!"
After hearing this, Hojo River preached leisurely:
"According to my research, her real name is Akiyama Morie! Piaoxu is just a pseudonym for her!"
"Akiyama? Akiyama Morie?"
Watanabe Kenjiro's eyes widened as if he had realized something. Under his gaze, Hojogawa nodded and said:
"Kenjiro, you are right. Piaoxu, Akiyama Morie, is the daughter of the female ninja Akiyama, and her father is Muto Masaaki!"
"Back then, Taiko wanted to use the palace capital as a springboard to conquer the Great Zhou Dynasty, so he formed the Black Dragon Society to infiltrate the palace capital, and Muto Masaaki also sent Akiyama Morie to the palace capital to cooperate with the Black Dragon Society to carry out operations!"
"At first, Akiyama Morie killed many people in the palace, but soon she disappeared. For this reason, some people said that she died in the hands of the Supervisory Department of Dazhou!"
"Muto Masaaki sent many people to find the whereabouts of Akiyama More, but they still found nothing. In the end, Muto Masaaki had to give up searching for Akiyama More!"
Speaking of this, Hojogawa paused for a moment, and then slowly said the answer that shocked Kenjiro Watanabe's jaw.
"But according to my investigation, Akiyama Morie is not dead. On the contrary, she is living very well now!"
"As for why she suddenly disappeared back then, it was because she met a military attaché of the Zhou Dynasty in the palace. His name was Ye Mingsheng!"
"And Akiyama Morie is now Ye Mingsheng, the de facto emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, and the woman he loves most!"
"Wang He has already told me that they want Muto Zhenaki's head and even the lives of the Muto family. This is very important to Wang He. After all, if he does this, he will get Akiyama Mori. He is grateful, and this means that he will be appreciated by Ye Mingsheng and rise rapidly in the official circles of the Zhou Dynasty..."

Yujing, Murong Mansion
Looking at the letter home written by his daughter Murong Qingwu to him and the words "Pure Heart and Few Desires" in front of him, Murong Yuliang, the Chief Minister of Hebei and Henan in the Great Zhou Dynasty, also fell into deep thought!
What was before him now was good news and bad news!
The good news is that her daughter Murong Qingwu's prayer to Guanyin was not in vain and she is pregnant again. Although it is not certain that she will give birth to a boy in the end, this is still the best news for the Murong family at this stage, which makes the current low ebb. The Murong family saw a glimmer of hope!
After talking about the good news, Murong Yuliang also needs to face the bad news!
Although the imperial court has not yet issued a formal order, Murong Yuliang knew from his daughter's letter that he, the chief envoy of Hebei and Henan, was about to be captured!
However, the good news among misfortunes is that he will be transferred to Huainan Chief Envoy. Although he is still demoted, at least he is still a third-grade Chief Envoy!
Regarding this situation, Murong Yu has some mixed feelings in her conscience. If you had said that thirty years ago when he first became an official, you said that Murong would be transferred from the post of Chief Envoy of Hebei and Henan to the Chief Envoy of Huainan, then Murong Yuliang will definitely be very happy and unable to sleep for three days and three nights!
After all, at that time Huai
The economic foundations of South and Hebei are not as exaggerated as one sky and one place, but the gap is also very big. Therefore, although the grades are the same, going from Hebei and Henan to Huainan is definitely a promotion, and the general rule is to make a fortune. After all, Huainan's Oil and water are much better than Jiyu!
A casual catch in Huainan may make more than what you can earn in Huainan if you work hard...
But it's a pity that today is different from the past. Under the scourge of Xu Zhaojie, a bastard, a wealthy land of plenty has turned into a barren land with ten rooms and nine empty rooms!
Although Jiyu was not much better than Huainan now, under Murong Yuliang's hard work in these years, the government is well-connected and the people are slowly recovering!
Therefore, due to the ebb and flow, it can be said that Huainan is now much worse than Hebei and Yu.
If the former commander-in-chief had directly transferred him to serve as the chief envoy to Huainan, Murong Yu would definitely not be able to accept it in his conscience!
After all, he had worked hard and paid so much over the years in Jiyu, turning a mess under Gao Zongchang into the current prosperity!
If the commander-in-chief doesn't promote him, he will be demoted to Huainan. Murong Yu's conscience cannot accept such a huge psychological gap, and he may even go to the extreme to resign directly!
But now that a few months have passed, Murong Yuliang's mentality has calmed down a bit under the influence of time!
In addition, after being informed by his daughter, Murong Yuliang also realized that the commander-in-chief might have discovered the Murong family's conspiracy, and he felt a little more anxious in his heart.
So now that Murong Yuliang knows the news, although he is still very disappointed, the gap in his heart is not that big... ··
In addition to the good and bad news that his daughter was pregnant and he was demoted to Huainan, the four words "purity and stoic" in front of him also attracted Murong Yuliang's great attention!
Although this calligraphy is quite neat, to be honest, it does not have any calligraphic beauty. However, the ancients said that if the clouds are not high, there are immortals and spirits, and if the water is not deep, there are dragons. Although it is important whether the calligraphy is good or not, the more important thing is to write this Who is the person who wrote the words!
There are not too many good calligraphers in the world, but there will definitely be no less, but there is only one person who is qualified to bestow calligraphy on him!
Murong Yuliang could clearly realize that the calligraphy given to him by the commander was a warning!
It was obvious that his daughter's intuition was right. The commander-in-chief must have noticed his family's trick. Demoting Murong Hui to Anqing and himself to Huainan was undoubtedly a form of punishment!
The commander-in-chief is telling himself not to worry too much, to do his job honestly and with peace of mind, and to do a good job in Huainan's economic work!
Although this was a warning, Murong Yuliang also felt another thought!
On the one hand, the commander warned himself to be pure and devoid of desires, but he also used his daughter Murong Qingwu's words to emphasize to him that he trusted his abilities and had many expectations for himself. He wanted to develop Huainan's economy and make Huainan return to its former glory. That land of plenty!
Does this mean that for the sake of my daughter’s unborn child, as long as I develop Huainan’s economy and people’s livelihood well, then what happened before can be reversed... ················
Murong Yuliang thinks that if this is the case, the matter is not unacceptable. After all, the Murong family's previous conspiracy problem was very serious!
Therefore, if I really improve the economy of Huainan, I can turn things around, which can even be said to be a blessing for the Murong family!
Thinking of this, Murong Yuliang's mind became more active and he began to study how to develop Huainan's economy!
The reason why Murong Yuliang was able to develop Jiyu's economy was not only because of his personal efforts, but also because of Ye Mingsheng's strong support!
If a place wants to develop, it is absolutely inseparable from the two elements of money and people. Although Jiyu experienced a series of natural and man-made disasters under the rule of Gao Zongchang and was reduced to poverty, as the hinterland of the Central Plains,
Even if there is no one else in Jiyu, there are still a lot of people!
Ye Mingsheng also valued this and believed that Jiyu had great development potential, so he used the last capital of the Fengwu Army to transfuse blood for Jiyu, helping Jiyu get through the most difficult stage at that time!
Murong Yuliang did not disappoint Ye Mingsheng's expectations. Under his rule, Jiyu soon became reborn, and in the next few years it became the largest source of war for the Fengwu Army!
But now the situation in Huainan is different from that in Jiyu. At that time, the Fengwu Army only had three territories: Liaoyang, Youyan, and Jiyu, so Ye Mingsheng was able to fully support Jiyu, which has great development potential!
But now, in addition to Sichuan and Shu, the Fengwu Army has captured the world of Zhou Dynasty, so now the commander-in-chief cannot give all his capital to Huainan for blood transfusions like before. After all, other places also need to develop, and they also need the support of the court. support!
In addition, the Yijing court is not financially well-off. It has gritted its teeth and insisted on not showing off all kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes... ········
