Overnight, the Rensheng wolf came to the door and attacked the house, breaking into four houses in a row.

Before dawn, Wada Weimasa had already rushed to Nijo Imperial Palace to meet with the general.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki looked ugly and asked.

"How's the situation outside?"

Wada Weizheng said solemnly.

"Akiren Iio, Seibu Ueno, and Harutada Odate are dead, and Fujihiro Matsuda is seriously injured. The doctor said that even if they were revived, they would still be disabled.

The families in the shogunate are in panic, and they can’t figure out who the Shiba family is targeting this time, judging the public, serving the public, neutral faction, killing everyone?"

Ashikaga Yoshiaki gritted his teeth and said.

"How could... these four people... how could they be the targets of Tenchu?"

Wada Weimasa was also puzzled.

"Yes, these four have always been diligent and do not participate in those messy things."

Ashikaga Yoshiaki nodded and said.

"I have sent someone to summon Mitsuhide Akechi. Let's hear what she has to say first."

Wada Weizheng's eyes flickered, and he persuaded him with subtle hints.

"Mingzhiji always takes everything into consideration when doing things, making it impossible for anyone to make mistakes.

But she is a good dancer and hard to rely on, because her thoughts are too deep."

Wada Weimasa hinted that Akechi Mitsuhide was unreliable, but Ashikaga Yoshiaki disagreed. She had gradually learned the essence of shogunate politics, that is, no one could be trusted.

Ise Sadakyo is doing small things, but people like Wada Yaomasa are reliable? Wada Yaomasa said that Ake Mitsuhide is unreliable, but her own attitude of being a snake and a rat, she doesn't see how reliable she is.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki knew in his heart that no matter what Wada Weimasa said, at least Akechi Mitsuhide had done him a great favor by persuading Yoshigan Shiba to retire from his residence and take over.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki is willing to listen to Akechi Mitsuhide's explanation, and he will understand.

———

Soon, Akechi Mitsuhide hurried to Nijo Imperial Palace to meet with the general.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki looked angry and asked.

"Akechi-hime, what happened last night? Why were the four important ministers of the shogunate punished by heaven? What crime did they commit?"

Akechi Mitsuhide also looked confused and replied.

"The Heavenly Punishment issue was handed over to Rensheng Lang in the Great Imperial Palace. The so-called imperial power and exemption is solely responsible for it.

Dai Ootai has spoken first, no matter which family is involved, they will be killed, and no one has the right to interfere with the actions of the Renshenglang.

Therefore, I don’t know the rules of action of the Mibu Wolf. Maybe these four people have participated in something that can easily be misunderstood?”

Akechi Mitsuhide pushed it all, which made Ashikaga Yoshiaki stunned for a moment.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki looked at Wada Noimasa hesitantly, and Wada Noimasa shook his head slightly, not sure.

The samurai families of the shogunate have been married for generations, and they are intricately intertwined. Who can explain clearly the deep relationship between them?

Wada Weimasa could not guarantee that the four people who were stabbed last night were completely innocent, but they were neutrals and were definitely not the first group to be stabbed.

Wada Weimasa said.

"Akechi Ji, you said that innocent people will not be implicated in the Tianchu incident, and only the public will agree to the Shiba family's request.

You know these four, tell me, how could they be related to the ambush of Yukino Takada? Isn't this an indiscriminate killing of innocent people?"

Akechi Mitsuhide looked helpless and sighed.

"The Mibu Wolf's actions were informed by the confidentiality team. Those ninjas were originally Iga ninjas. As you know, they are good at spying on information.

As far as I know, the Samurai Hime of the shogunate's security team who ambushed Takada Yukino are still missing. These people are the heirs of various shogunate families and have deep connections with Beijing and China.

The secrecy team couldn’t find them, so who do you think is protecting them? As a last resort, Mibu Lang could only take the list of rumor mongers provided by the secrecy team and come to ask for help.”

Wada Weimasa caught Akechi Mitsuhide's words and said angrily.

"You also admit that they are killing indiscriminately!"

Akechi Mitsuhide said solemnly.

"How come those who spread rumors are innocent?

Why did Heavenly Punishment arise? It was Takada Yukino who acted to avenge the traitor of His Majesty.

The so-called "His Majesty's crusade" is to crusade against the traitors who spread rumors and slander the reputation of the Lisboa family!

Lord Gongfang, I think what Mibu Lang did is not inappropriate. Anyone who spreads rumors and shelters the ambusher is equally guilty and will be punished on the same day!"

Wada Weimasa shouted.

"Then how do you prove that these four adults participated in spreading rumors?"

Mitsuhide Akechi retorted.

"Then how do you prove that these four people did not participate in protecting the ambushers?"

Ashikaga Yoshiaki was so noisy that he had a headache and shouted.

"That's enough! Shut up, everyone!"

The two of them bowed together to apologize and looked at Ashikaga Yoshiaki. Ashikaga Yoshiaki was in a dilemma, not knowing how to deal with this situation.

She approved of the death penalty for the Lisbo family, and Akechi Mitsuhide insisted on fighting for the honor of the Lisbo family, and it was even more inconvenient for her to go back on her words.

But the problem now is that the impact is too broad.

The relationship between the shogunate families is very deep. The Hime samurai who ambushed Takada Yukino must have been protected and hidden by the shogunate samurai family.

Rumor-mongering, ambush, and shelter, if these three conditions are taken into account, Mibu Lang will really kill whoever he wants in Kyoto. With the deep relationship between the various families in the shogunate, who dares to say that he is 100% innocent?

The leaders who ambush Takada Yukino were Odate and Ueno. The two Hime Samurai warriors, Ueno Seibubo and Odate Harutada, were their relatives.

Did they participate in the protection? Did they die unjustly? God knows!

Ashikaga Yoshiaki thought that he had only agreed to a condition of reciprocal revenge for the Shiba family, but he did not expect that the Shiba family would cause a mutiny-level chaos.

She couldn't express her pain right now. Mibu Lang's knife was raised in the air, and no one knew who their next target would be.

The shogunate families are not without the ability to fight back. If Ashikaga Yoshiaki completely disappoints them, they will concentrate on the Kyohime Samurai to fight against the Mibu Wolf.

By that time, Ashikaga Yoshiaki's reputation will be gone, and the shogunate will face another internal strife.

Seeing Ashikaga Yoshiaki's face getting more and more ugly, Akechi Mitsuhide bowed and said.

"Master Gongfang, in fact, the Mibu wolf is not willing to kill indiscriminately. I heard that Matsuda's husband protected Matsuda Fujihiro last night, and this way he saved a life.

If the Mibu Wolf really wants to go on a killing spree, how can Matsuda's husband, a male prostitute, be able to protect him?"

Ashikaga Yoshiaki asked with a twitching brow.

"you mean?"

Akechi Mitsuhide's righteous way.

"The Mibulang will never dare to disobey the orders of the Odaisho, they must take action.

But the Hime warriors who ambushed Takada Yukino were hidden too deep for the secrecy team to find them, so Miburou expanded the scope of Tenchu."

Akechi Mitsuhide has fulfilled her wish. The four people she most wanted to kill, three dead and one disabled, will no longer pose a threat to her.

Now, the four people killed by Miburo by mistake have left Ashikaga Yoshiaki in a state of distress. If Ashikaga Yoshiaki becomes dissatisfied with Akechi Mitsuhide because of this incident, it will be detrimental to future operations.

Therefore, Akechi Mitsuhide had to find a way out for Ashikaga Yoshiaki and could not be forced to jump over the wall.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki understood what Akechi Mitsuhide meant and tried to say.

"You mean, if the Hime warriors who ambushed Takada Yukino are found, Miburou will have something to report to the Odai, and he will stop causing trouble?"

Akechi Mitsuhide nodded.

"The Odaisho does not want to mess up the shogunate, he is just maintaining the dignity of the Shiba family.

If those traitors are found and the Heavenly Punishment is completed, the future actions of the Renshenglang will naturally be restricted.

Although I cannot order them, as the person in charge of the Shiba family in Kyoto, I will send a letter to the Lord to kick them out of Kyoto."

Ashikaga Yoshiaki glanced at Wada Weimasa and said to Akechi Mitsuhide.

"You should step back first."

Akechi Mitsuhide bowed and left. After she left, Ashikaga Yoshiaki asked.

"Wada-hime, what do you think of Akechi Mitsuhide's idea?"

Just because the Shiba family's secrecy team and the Yagyu group couldn't find the ambusher, it doesn't mean that the Ashikaga family can't find it. The Ashikaga shogun has been in Kyoto for two hundred years, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki still has this ability.

Wada Weimasa looked at Ashikaga Yoshiaki and felt that his master was so shameless.

On the one hand, Ashikaga Yoshiaki did not want to offend Yoshigan Shiba, and on the other hand, he did not want chaos in Kyoto, so he decided to sacrifice the protected Hime warriors.

But she didn't want to make it clear that she wanted Wada Weimasa to take the blame.
