Qian Dayou saw two ashigaru carrying plain guns, escorting the shackled Shi Yi, disembarking from the gangplank and landing. He was shocked and screamed secretly, thinking: "How come Brother Yanzi was captured? If he persisted
If you can't punish me, it would be terrible if you confess me."
Lao Songpu said: "Bring Shi Yi over here."
Ashigaru touched Shi Yi's arm with his plain spear, and Shi Yi turned around and glared: "What are you doing?"
The Ashigaru pointed to Old Matsuura and said, "Go over there!"
Shi Yi understood what he meant, held his head high and looked as if he was ready to die, walked over and stood opposite Lao Matsuura.
Lao Matsuura said to Honda many times: "Mou Rongtian was not the opponent of the Central Affairs Bureau Daisuke. It was this guy." He pointed at Shi Yi and said: "When the Central Affairs Bureau Daisuke was unprepared, he blinded him with a hidden weapon.
Only the right eye, the Central Affairs Assistant, would have suffered the murderous hands of Mou Rongtian."
"Haga!" Honda Doro shouted loudly, stood up, drew his sword Raikiri, and struck at Shi Yi.
Seeing a flash of cold light, Shi Yi closed his eyes and said in his heart: "This is my explanation."
With a "嘡" sound, Lei Qie was blocked by another sword, and the handle of the sword was held in Qian Dayou's hand.
Honda Jiro shouted: "You have a lot of money! What are you doing? Why do you want to help this Central Plains man?"
Qian Dayou said: "Honda-kun calm down, I don't want to help him, I just want him to live for a few more days and bring him back to Edo City so that General Tokugawa can see him and kill him before it is too late."
Old Matsuura said: "What Mr. Qian said is absolutely true. He should be taken to Edo and handed over to General Tokugawa for disposal."
Honda Jiro shouted: "No, I will kill him now to sacrifice my father's soul in heaven."
Taimashou said: "Jiro, stop! You can't kill him now. I will take him back to Edo as a teacher. When I see General Tokugawa, I will hand him over to you. At that time, whether to kill or behead him, it is up to you."
Honda Jiro did not dare to disobey Tajima Mamoru's order, so he had to sheath the sword and give up.
Shi Yi was surprised and happy to see Qian Dayou, and thought: "With Brother Qian here, my life may be saved."
But Ma Shou said to Lao Matsuura: "Lord Matsuura, this boy is in my hands. I will take him back to Edo to see General Tokugawa."
Old Matsuura said: "Yagyu-kun, should you take the land route or the water route? If you take the water route, I will send you a boat."
But Ma Shou felt that it was more convenient to take the prisoners by water, so he said: "I want to take the water route."
Old Matsuura asked: "When will we leave?"
But Ma Shoudao said: "The sooner the better, it's best to leave today."
Lao Matsuura said: "I will arrange a ship for you right now."
But Ma Shou called Qian Dayou, Pang Wan and Shiliu, and said: "Master, I will give this Central Plains man to the three of you to take care of him. Don't humiliate or torture him. Eat what he deserves and drink what he deserves."
The three of them said in unison: "I will obey my master's orders."
Ashigaru handed over Shi Yi to Qian Dayou, Pang Wan, and Forty-Six. Qian Dayou deliberately escorted Shi Yi to wait for the boat under a tree on the shore. There were only four of them around, and no one else.
Qian Dayou thought: "I have to find a way to get rid of them and give some instructions to Brother Yanzi, otherwise I will be in trouble."
Qian Dayou thought for a while and said to himself: "That girl last night was so delicious, her breasts were so big, I was so happy."
Forty-Six smiled and said: "No wonder I didn't see you last night. You weren't interesting enough to invite us when we went out to play."
Qian Dayou said: "I didn't mean to go out for fun. I just wanted to take a stroll. When I passed by a brothel, this girl waved to me. I saw her looking up and down. She looked good. I was interested and played for a while.
Oh, now that I think about it, I still have endless aftertaste. I wanted to go and meet her again tonight, but I didn’t expect it would happen if the master left in such a hurry. I had heard before that the girls in Kyushu were good at work. After trying it, it turned out to be good.
"
Forty-six felt itchy after hearing this, and said: "Is it that good?"
Qian Dayou said with a smile: "You two haven't played with girls from Kyushu yet. If you don't play, you won't know. Once you play, you won't forget it. You must visit this place often if you have the opportunity."
Forty-six: "Where is the brothel?"
Qian Dayou said: "It's just over there in Merchant Town."
Forty-six said eagerly: "I also want to see what the girls in Kyushu are like. I have played a lot in Honshu, but I have never played in Kyushu. It's a pity that I have to leave and I don't have time."
Qian Dayou said: "It will take at least an hour to wait for the boat to arrive. It only takes less than half an hour to go back and forth from here to Guoding. Half an hour is not enough for you to play. Are you that strong?"
Forty-Six: "What should I do if the ship arrives early?"
Qian Dayou said: "If you haven't come back when the boat comes, I will tell you that you have a stomachache and go to the town to see a doctor. Master will not blame you."
Forty-six sighed and said: "Let's forget it."
Qian Dayou smiled and said: "I didn't expect that your boy has changed his gender. The girls in Jiuzhou are so good, and you don't want to play with them?"
Forty-six said: "You don't know, I've been having bad luck lately, and all the money I have on hand has been folded into the casino. How can I have money to play?"
Qian Dayou smiled and said: "It's because of this. If you didn't tell me earlier, I have the money." He took out a small piece of silver from his arms, handed it over and said, "Take it, and remember to pay me back if you have money."
, forget it if you don’t have money.”
Forty-Six happily took the money and said with a smile: "Dayou, you are so interesting. When master gives you pocket money next month, I will definitely pay you back."
But Ma Shou was very kind to his apprentices. Not only did he not charge tuition fees, but he also took care of food, housing, and pocket money. He really treated his apprentices as his own.
Qian Dayou said to Fat Wan: "Pang Wan, don't you go and have fun?"
Fat Wan also wanted to be happy, but he couldn't part with the money. He and Forty-Six were both children from poor families. Forty-Six didn't care about his family. He only had a few money on hand, so he resorted to prostitution and gambling. On the other hand, he saved all his money and trusted him with money.
People take them home to support their parents and younger siblings.
Fat Wan smiled and said: "I won't go."
Forty-six said: "Can he go? I'm a tough guy, how can I spend money to be happy? I'm leaving."
Qian Dayou looked at the retreating figure of Forty-Six and thought to himself: "What trick can I think of to take away the fat pill?" He rolled his eyes and had an idea, and said to himself: "Oh no, the chess piece has been lost."
If you don’t take it out in the feudal hall and don’t have anything to play on the boat, how will you spend these days?”
Fat Wan said: "Who says it's not the case? Master left so quickly, we didn't expect it."
Qian Dayou said: "There is still time, why don't you go back and get the chess pieces?"
Fat Wan said: "Well, you are the only one left. What if he runs away?"
Qian Dayou smiled and said: "With me here, can he run away?" He urged: "Go quickly, go quickly!"
Fat Wan stood up and said, "I'm going to go then. You keep an eye on him, but don't let him run away."
Qian Dayou said: "Don't worry, he can't escape."
Fat Wan left in a hurry. Qian Dayou looked around and saw that no one was paying attention. He put his left hand to his mouth, covering it, and whispered: "Brother Yanzi."
Shi Yi said: "Brother Qian, what's the matter?"
Qian Dayou said: "Don't look at me, I said, you listen. If Liu Sheng asks about what happened that night, you say this.
"Just say that that night, you were with the Jinyiwei spies lurking in Japan. These people were masked in black and holding swords. Later, they were discovered by three of Yagyu's disciples and started a melee. After Mou Rongtian killed one of them, he started with you.
You don’t know what will happen next after you leave and let the masked man in black cut you off. Do you understand?”
Shi Yi said: "I understand."
Qian Dayou said: "I will try to rescue you. If they torture you, you must hold on and never give me away."
Shi Yi said: "Don't worry, Shi would rather die than betray his friends."
Half an hour later, Fat Maru came back, carrying a cloth bag with shogi in it.
Qian Dayou smiled and said: "Hard work, hard work, come on, let's kill a few games to pass the time."
Shogi is similar to Chinese chess and is called Japanese chess.
Fat Wan took out the chessboard cloth, threw it on the ground, poured the chess pieces on it, and the two arranged them and started playing chess.
After a while, Forty-Six ran back sweating profusely, sat down next to Qian Dayou, and said breathlessly: "Dayou, did you remember wrongly? The Prostitute Town is not over the Merchant Town at all.
, it’s so far away, it makes me tired.”
Qian Dayou said: "Oh, I'm not familiar with Hirado either, I guess I remembered it wrong. How about it, have you found the brothel?"
Forty-six said: "I found it only after asking around."
Qian Dayou said: "How are you having fun? The girls in Kyushu are pretty good, right?"
Forty-six said: "Dayou, I have to criticize you. You usually play less and are more strange than you see. In my opinion, the girls in Kyushu are nothing special, they are almost the same as those in Honshu."
Qian Dayou smiled and said, "Yeah, I think it's pretty good anyway."
As the sun set, Master Yagyu and his disciples escorted Shi Yi onto the Matsuura Anzha ship, and the second son, Kazutada, was responsible for leading the team to escort them to Edo Bay.
Before leaving, Lao Matsuura said with a smile: "Yagyu-kun, when you see General Tokugawa, you will definitely say something nice for me."
But Ma Shou smiled and said: "Lord Matsuura, don't worry, I will definitely give you credit in front of General Tokugawa."
Old Matsuura smiled and said: "Thank you, thank you very much."
The sea ship set sail, left Hirado Pier, and rushed to Edo.
Late at night the next day after the Hirado Maru arrived at Hirado Pier, Mr. Yan's merchant ship also arrived. Laomatsuura had already lifted martial law and there were no patrol ships on the sea.
Mou Rongtian and Yan Siqi landed secretly, walked through the streets and alleys, arrived outside the wall of the Hirado feudal hall, and climbed over the wall. Yan Siqi had been in Hirado for many years and had been to the feudal hall several times, so he knew the location of the dungeon.
The two came to the entrance of the dungeon, which was a room with stone steps leading to the basement, which was the dungeon.
There was a square table by the window, with a candlestick on it. Most of the candles were burned, and the flames danced in the wind, emitting a pale light. On two benches beside the table, three ashigaru were sitting, with their heads drooped, dozing off.
Mou Rongtian and Yan Siqi walked in with their knives in hand. They struck the ashiqingzhong's necks, raised the knives and dropped them. In the blink of an eye, three heads fell to the ground.
Mou Rongtian picked up the candlestick and lit it in front, while Yan Siqi followed behind. They went down the stone steps to the dungeon and saw more than a dozen cells on both sides of the corridor.
Mou Rongtian couldn't help shouting "Swallow..." and searched from cell to cell, but Shi Yi could not be found.
