Zuo Cun sat on a thick branch and looked at the houses below.
He did not bring the crane feathers and pheasant feathers for which he was famous, but only the dagger "鸩縩" that he got from Masahiro Abe a few years ago.
It's the end of January now.
Zuo Cun made a sophisticated plan for this assassination.
Dressed in black, he waited for his chance.
...
"Yoshida Toyo has a very regular schedule." Ryoma looked into Samura's eyes, "I paid a servant of Yoshida Toyo and studied his schedule."
"Yoshida Toyo will have one day off every month. On this day, he will not pay attention to any official duties, but will behave in two ways."
"The first is to stay at home all day and read Western books."
"The other is to go on a family trip."
"I understand." Zuo Cun nodded, "I am good at killing this person, but how to quickly fake the scene after killing and leave without being recognized is very important."
Although Samura is not a Tosa citizen, he has a very good relationship with the core Tosa patriots such as Sakamoto Ryoma and Takeichi Mizuyama. If Samura's identity is exposed, it will cause a lot of trouble for the Tosa Kinou Party.
After all, Yoshida Toyo is a talent that the feudal lord reuses.
However, the existence of Yoshida Toyo has inevitably become a stumbling block for the Qinwang Party and the progress of Zuo Cun, Ryoma, Takeichi and others.
With the constraints of this person, all actions of the Qinwang Party in Tosa will be hindered.
Samura did not think about convincing Yoshida Toyo or anything, because everyone could see that Yoshida Toyo was supported by the feudal lord, and such a person would not be a help to the Qinwang Party.
"I'm here to assist you." Izo smiled, "In the early years when I didn't leave Tosa, I also knew some things about Yoshida Toyo. Leave it to me to find Yoshida Toyo's mortal enemy."
"I'm grateful." Zuo Cun and Yi Zang bumped fists, "Correspondingly, I will try my best to fake the scene of the vendetta."
"Then, you go ahead and make arrangements. I believe this information is enough."
Zuo Cun smiled and nodded.
.......
"Tomorrow is Yoshida Toyo's holiday." Zuomura jumped down from the tree and said to the other two people.
"I would like to thank you for giving me this opportunity..." said a strange man who looked a little hunched over.
This man's name is Issei Koike.
This era is chaotic, and the chaotic background is enough to cover up many unknown persecutions of the Communist Party.
Koike Issei is one of the many darknesses that have been covered up.
"Sir, after I commit suicide...please take good care of my daughter." Issei Koike sat down to Zuomura and said solemnly.
"...Of course." Zuo Cun nodded.
He feels a little heavy now.
Issei Koike was the victim of Toyo Yoshida, so how could he not be the victim of Anno Samura?
But this is the struggle of the Communist Party, and countless people will become victims in the struggle.
Without too much entanglement, Zuomura turned around and said, "Mr. Okada, please leave first. Let Mr. Ryoma and Mr. Takeichi prepare for the death of Yoshida Toyo tomorrow, and make sure to arrange the follow-up."
"And... take care of Mr. Koike's daughter."
Izo nodded wordlessly and left.
Koike Issei stood beside Zuocun with a stern face.
He was once a vassal of the Tosa Domain and was quite famous, but because he once publicly supported the fight against the foreigners, he was targeted by Yoshida Toyo.
As a result, Koike Issei not only lost his status as a feudal lord, but was also imprisoned. Even now, only himself and his young daughter are left alive in his family.
He hated Toyo Yoshida deeply, so when Okada Izo came to the door and expressed his intention, he immediately agreed.
It’s just death, as long as I can get revenge——
Koike Issei's eyes flashed with blood.
Zuocun also noticed Koike Issei's state and sighed slightly.
Everything we do now is to prevent tragedies from happening in the future.
It may seem a bit hypocritical, but it is indeed Zuo Cun's true thoughts.
It is precisely because Samura has witnessed many tragedies in this hell called Bakumatsu that he does not want more tragedies to happen.
Therefore, he hypnotized himself and told himself that everything he did and all the tragedies he promoted were to prevent tragedies from happening in the future.
"Tomorrow morning, I will observe Yoshida Toyo's movements to see if he is traveling with his family or if I am studying in my room."
"If he travels with his family, things will be more troublesome."
"I will kill Yoshida Toyo alone or Yoshida Toyo and all the family members he brought out, depending on the situation."
"If he had stayed at home, it would have been relatively simple. All we had to do was find an opportunity to get into his study."
"I understand, Samura-sama." Koike Issei held Wakizashi's hand with veins popping out.
Sighing, Zuo Cun looked at Yoshida House: "Now... we just need to wait."
...
The next day, morning.
Zuocun and Koike Issei squatted on the top of the tree.
This is a taiga, but neither of them is afraid of the sting of the taiga, staring closely at the bedroom of Yoshida House.
"Coming out." Zuo Cun narrowed his eyes.
A man of about thirty years old walked out of the bedroom and stretched.
He is Yoshida Toyo.
Koike Issei's muscles subconsciously tightened.
This face...
His teeth were gritted and his eyes seemed to be bleeding.
Yoshida Toyo seemed to be in good spirits, stretched his neck, and then walked to another room, probably to have breakfast after washing up.
"Calm down, Mr. Koike." Zuomura said solemnly, "We will observe Toyo Yoshida's next move and then make a decision."
"I understand, Master Zuomura." Xiaochi also knew that he was a little excited.
After waiting for a while, Yoshida Toyo had no intention of changing his clothes and going out, so Zuomura narrowed his eyes.
Yoshida Toyo walked into a side room.
"That's...the study."
Zuo Cun couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't want to involve too many innocent people.
But if Yoshida Toyo really travels, he will still choose to kill everyone around Yoshida Toyo.
However, it is indeed the best situation for Yoshida Toyo not to travel.
"After we wait for the servant to deliver lunch to Yoshida Toyo, we will take action." Samura glanced at Koike Issei, "At that time, in order not to make a big fuss and be exposed in advance, I will kill Yoshida Toyo as soon as possible, and follow up Treat the body as you wish...as you wish."
"...I understand." Koike Yizheng nodded.
Neither man mentioned what happened next.
Koike Issei has lost everything, leaving only his daughter.
After entrusting his daughter to his former acquaintance Okada Izo, he completed his mission...
Will commit suicide.
