After Suzuki Shigekane walked into the cell, he was immediately greeted by Suzuki Shigei's violent curses, but he remained unmoved. He kept looking at the ceiling of the cell silently until his father got tired of scolding and cursed
After he stopped moving, he slowly said: "Do you have anything to ask me?"
"Why did you betray us? Aren't we in a great situation? It's not like we're at the end of our rope. We can't survive without surrender!" Suzuki Shigehide asked before Suzuki Shigei could, "I'd rather you were killed in Zahe Castle last time."
You were really fake during the siege, and you really put us under house arrest! I can't accept that you sold our entire Zahezhong and our entire Jii under such a great situation!"
"Oh? Isn't this very simple?" Suzuki Shigekane sneered when he heard this, "Fight with the Zahe people, what will you get if you win? Can you seal me a territory worth several thousand koku?" he said as he spoke.
Slowly took a few steps forward and shook his fingers in front of Suzuki Shigehide, "Do you know what the conditions His Highness Hongye offered me? As long as I switch sides to their side, he will take away all the records."
Confiscate all the land owned by the Iraqi rebels, and then give me one-third of the land!"
"This..." Suzuki Shigehide was shocked when he heard this, but he still argued with his neck, "But if we win, not to mention the entire Kii will be pacified by us, even Kawachi and Izumi will have a lot to do! By then, big brother
You inherited the Suzuki family, and you have more than just Kitaki!"
"What are you thinking? Shigehide?" Shigekane Suzuki burst out laughing after hearing this, and patted his younger brother heavily on the shoulder, "No matter how you look at it, you will inherit the Suzuki family and the Zaga family.
It can't be me. How big the Suzuki family can be, what does it have to do with me? In the end, don't I only have that one-third of an acre?"
"Ah?" Suzuki Shigehide was stunned by Suzuki Shigekane's smile. He was speechless for a moment. After being stunned for a long time, he turned his head blankly, glanced at his livid father, and murmured, "Brother, what are you doing?
What do you mean! You are the eldest son of the Suzuki family, you must be the one to inherit!"
"Do you think I can't see it? This old man has always liked you the most!" Suzuki Shigekan snorted coldly, and swung a circle on Suzuki Shigei's head like a show of force, "You think I'm weak and I can't fight.
I have always favored you in battle! The most elite deployment of the Zahe Zhong will always be left to you to command! Do you think I don’t know what your intentions are? Just find any reason to dethrone my position as heir.
I’m afraid it will be a matter of time!”
"You rebellious son! You beast! You heartless bastard!" Suzuki Shigei, who had just scolded him until his voice went mute, was completely angered. He roared again with his dry and hoarse voice, "You are so rebellious and you have the nerve to do it.
Inherit the Suzuki family? I am blind to let you inherit the Suzuki family! You are a beast, can you compare with Shigehide? Who would pass the position of family governor to a traitor?"
"Which is the cause and which is the effect, you still know in your heart, right?" Suzuki Shigekane did not feel slow at all in response to Suzuki Shigeyoshi's roar, he just said calmly.
"Then..." Suzuki Shigehide seemed to suddenly recall something terrible, and said loudly as if he had woken up from a dream, "I didn't want to fight before, but it was you who kept persuading my father to fight and to rebel! Could it be that you started from that time?
I got in touch with the Yuqiu family! No wonder you, the always calm and conservative eldest brother, actually..."
"Hahahaha... I guessed it half right." Shigekane Suzuki laughed again, "I didn't get in touch with the Yuqiu family at that time, but I deliberately persuaded you to rebel, and then I had the opportunity to betray you and take credit from the Yuqiu family.
Ah! If you didn't rebel, how could Yi Yuqiu Hongye, who was so committed to his promises, come to trouble you, and how could I have the chance to become a successful person!"
"You guy!" Suzuki Shigei and Suzuki Shigehide were furious when they heard this. They struggled violently on their chairs, and the chain made a "click" sound.
"This is reality, this is the troubled times of the Warring States Period. Not everyone is a gentleman like Yuqiu Hongye." Suzuki Shigekane stretched out his finger and shook it back and forth in front of the two people, "You know? Even if you surrender,
As for the rebellion, Yuqiu Hongye still has no intention of executing you. He plans to confiscate all your territory and then release it, that's all."
"Well..." When Suzuki Shigehide heard the news, he felt ashamed for a moment. When he was rebelling before, he felt that surrendering and rebelling was against the morality of the samurai, especially betraying the trust of an upright person like Yu Qiuping made him
He felt very uncomfortable. When he saw that instead of being furious, Yu Qiuping was repaying kindness with kindness, he felt even more guilty. Their rebellion not only betrayed Yu Qiuping's trust, but also cost Zahe Zhong's territory and so many brothers.
The future of the Suzuki family has also tarnished the reputation of the Suzuki family.
"However, I don't intend to keep you alive." Shigekane Suzuki changed the topic and suddenly sneered and took out a handful of ribs from his waist, "With you two as my heirs, my position will never be secure.
. Let’s get together as relatives, and I will personally send you on your way. Hehe, I understand the principle of eradicating the roots.”
"Brother? You!" Suzuki Shigehide looked at the bright dagger reflecting the light of the oil lamp in the dark room, and was completely stunned. He could not have imagined that the eldest brother, who had always been filial and kind, could have such an evil heart.
.
Suzuki Shigekane had a cruel smile on his face, then he held his ribs and walked towards Suzuki Shigei. Suzuki Shigehide struggled desperately to shake off the chains on his body, but he had no choice but to look at Suzuki Shigekake -
—
ah?
At the next moment, Suzuki Shigehide watched blankly as Suzuki Shigei suddenly broke free from the rope that was supposed to tie him tightly, jumped up, and snatched the ribs from the hands of Suzuki Shigekane, who was shocked.
With one backhand stab, he pierced Suzuki Shigekane's heart. Suzuki Shigeichi couldn't get over his anger after stabbing him, so he repeatedly pulled the ribs out of Suzuki Shigekane's body, then stabbed him back with the knife, and cursed loudly: "Beast"
!See if I don’t know you personally!”

After the fierce fighting sound came from the cell, several crows around could not help but rush into the cell, but were blocked by Amano Keitoku with his hand. A deputy of Amano Keitoku was stunned when he saw this, and whispered in confusion.
He said, "Sir, something must have happened in the prison! If there is an accident, this can be..."
"There are no surprises. It was all planned." Amano Keitoku said calmly, "The chains behind Suzuki Shigei are not tied. You can break free with a little effort."
"Ah?" Crow's ninja suddenly became enlightened after hearing this, "Did you plot against Suzuki Shigekane and let him be beaten to death by Suzuki Shigei on purpose?"
"It's not a plan made by me, it's a plan made by the two of us." Amano Keide sighed softly and looked at the door of the cell with a rare expression of appreciation, as if he was looking at the body lying in a pool of blood in the room.
of dead bodies.
"He's a great guy, and like me, he's a guy who does dirty things."
·
After Amano Keitoku made a plan to lure Kii into rebellion, thereby pacifying Kii in one fell swoop and taking back the military power in the hands of the wealthy family, he secretly met with Suzuki Shigekake and revealed his plan without any concealment.
"I hope you can cooperate with our plan to persuade the Zahe people to rebel, and then cooperate with Tokiwa Bei to infiltrate Kii, and finally attack from behind to fully mobilize the Kii rebels."
"Why?" After hearing this almost ridiculous and insulting explanation for him, the eldest son of Suzuki, Suzuki Shigekane did not yell, but just said calmly.
"You are a smart person, and you are also a person who does dirty things. You will understand." Amano Jingtoku shook his head, and Furui Muha's face remained expressionless, "Everyone is not guilty, but he is guilty of harboring a jade. The Yuqiu family
We will never tolerate the existence of such a powerful and hostile army behind us, and we will not allow the people of Kii Province and the temple community to retain military power. We did not deprive you of military power this time, but it was just because the timing was inappropriate, and we did not really allow you to retain military power.
Even if you don't rebel, we must take back the military power. I also know that it seems impossible to get you to hand over the military power obediently. So when there is an opportunity, the Yuqiu family can free up their hands, even if there is no justifiable reason.
Reason, if we make up an excuse, we will start a war against Jii and get your military power back."
"But by then, it will be an endless war." Amano Keitoku snorted coldly, and the crow on his shoulder stared at Suzuki Shigekane's eyes for him, "Ki is not the opponent of the Yuqiu family, and will definitely be defeated. And.
The Zahe people will be full of resentment for the Yuqiu family's betrayal of the treaty and the war against the surrender. At that time, in order to avoid future troubles, we will kill all the leaders in Kii who have hatred for us. Including you, you
My father, your brother and many other people from the crowd."
Suzuki Shigekane was startled when he heard this and swallowed with some difficulty.
"Now I'll give you a chance." Amano Kyoutoku stretched out his hand, pressed his plan on the desk, and pushed it in front of Suzuki Shigekane, "You cooperate with our plan and wipe out the Kii rebels. After that,
It is up to you to personally admit the fact of your rebellion, draw the hatred of your father, your brother and everyone else to you, and then arrange for them to kill you with their own hands to put an end to this hatred. In this way, they will not be angry with Yu.
No matter how much resentment the Qiu family has, we can spare their lives or even recruit them into the Red Leaf Army."
"This is the best result for you. If you don't cooperate, the Suzuki family will be slaughtered."
After Amano Keitoku said this, he fell into silence, waiting patiently for Suzuki Shigekake to make a decision. After a long time, Suzuki Shigekake finally raised his head, held his chin with his hands, and asked a question in a low voice:
"I can completely betray you after Tokiwabi enters Kii, and then the Hongye Army will be finished."
"No, you can't. You are a smart person. Just like me, you are a person who does dirty things. You understand." Amano Keide shook his head slowly and said as if nothing had happened, "Zahe Zhong and Hongye Army
You won’t know how different our strength is, and what the chances of winning are in a fight. You won’t risk the lives of your entire clan on this slim chance of victory.”
"How can I confirm that you will fulfill your promise?" As soon as Amano Keitoku finished speaking, Suzuki Shigekane whispered urgently. He did not dwell on the issue of whether to do it or not, and directly acquiesced to the plan. It seemed that his
This question is just to get some resonance and recognition.
"Because my Highness is a good person. As long as the people in Zahezhong don't have an unforgettable hatred for the Yuqiu family and want to rebel at all times, he will never kill innocent people indiscriminately."
After Amano Keitoku said this, he did not look at Suzuki Shigekane again. Instead, he stood up and walked out of the door with the crow on his shoulder. When he reached the door, he
With his back on his back, he whispered coldly: "There are people in every family who have to bear all the sins and hatred in the shadows to protect the peace of the family."
"I am such a person, and so are you."
“A pleasure to work with.”
Suzuki Shigekane watched Amano Keitoku's back leave the room, and slowly put all the documents on the table into his arms. His Adam's apple squirmed violently, and the hand holding the documents also trembled. After a while, he
