Chapter 461 Wushuang-style infiltration! Only Wushuang is the right way!
4500]
Nishino knew very little about the Fagu Party.
He didn't know the existence of such a force until not long ago...that is, when he drank "Sleep Black Tea", was "captured alive" by my grandson, was imprisoned in the basement, and was recruited by Rakshasa.
Based on what he saw with his eyes and what he heard with his ears... Nishino was already convinced that the Law Punishment Party with extreme ideas and extreme actions was far more dangerous than the Great Salt Party!
Although the two are both rebellious officials and traitors, the latter is obviously less dangerous than the former.
In Nishino's eyes, the Great Salt Party's highest ideal of creating a peaceful and prosperous age is still worthy of recognition. They just mistakenly regarded "the fall of the curtain" as an important way to realize this ideal.
As for the law to punish the party...
If Nishino was forced to use one word to describe the Fa Zhu Party... then the only adjective he could come up with was - Chaos!
The Oisho Party, which regarded Heihachiro Oshio as its spiritual mentor and regarded Heihachiro Oshio's ideas as its guide, at least had something similar to an ideological program.
The Fa Zhu Party has absolutely no such thing.
They seemed to only want to overthrow the Edo shogunate.
In order to overthrow the Edo shogunate, they did everything possible!
They were indifferent to everything except the "fall of the shogunate", including the lives of the common people, and how the new country should be governed after the Edo shogunate was really overthrown.
If the Great Salt Party is just a bunch of fools who can’t turn around, then the Fa Zhu Party is a bunch of unreasonable lunatics!
Nishino had long secretly made up his mind - when he returned to the command of the shogunate in the future, he would definitely write to the shogunate and ask all the princes in the hall to use their full strength to encircle and suppress the law and punish the party.
If this disaster is not eliminated early, it will become a serious problem in the future!
It's a rare opportunity to collect information related to the Execution Party, and Nishino will not miss this precious opportunity in vain.
He quickly raised his ears and spoke in a cliche voice:
"Shuten Doji? Otakemaru? Who are they?"
"Nishino-kun, I should have told you before, right? The cadres of the Punishment Party are all nicknamed after the monsters in Japanese legend."
"At the same time, they will tattoo the monsters they use as their code names on their backs."
"Yamata no Orochi is the leader of the Punishment Party."
"As for Otakemaru, Shuten Doji and Tamamo-mae, they are the three top officials whose status is second only to Yamata no Orochi."
"The Law and Order Party is very good at intelligence control."
"Although our intelligence agencies have tried their best, to this day, we still know very little about these four people who stand at the top of the Fuzhi Party."
"Not to mention their detailed details, apart from the fact that Otakemaru and Shuten Doji are confirmed to be male, I don't know the gender of the other two."
"It took us a lot of effort to finally figure out what responsibilities these four people have."
"Yama-no-Orochi has the supreme authority to speak for itself within the Fazhu Party and is the undoubted leader."
"Tamamozen specializes in espionage work."
"Shuten Doji is responsible for training and commanding the troops."
"And Otakemaru is the strongest member of the Punishment Party."
Compared to Yamata no Orochi, Tamamo Mae and Shuten Doji, Otakemaru, who holds the title of "the strongest", is more interesting to Nishino.
He asked further:
"Highest combat power? Is that Otakemaru very strong?"
My grandson was startled for a moment, then slowly turned his head and cast a dumbfounded look towards Nishino.
"Haha...that's natural. Otakemaru's strength...that's not ordinary."
"Everyone who has seen him is dead, and all of them were killed with one blow... There are many top martial arts masters among them."
"Although we are very reluctant to do so, in terms of our background and comprehensive strength, we are indeed inferior to the mysterious and unpredictable Fa Zun Party, which has developed decades longer than us."
"However, we are not so bad that we don't even have any capable martial arts masters who can act as a front."
"For example, we once had a master of swordsmanship under our command who practiced Zhishin Shadow Style. When he showed his true skills, even if 3 or 40 warriors went into battle together, it would be difficult to get close to him."
"However... one day just a year ago, he accidentally encountered Otake Maru."
"By the time we found him, his body was already cold."
"Judging from his wounds and the state of his death, he died under Otakemaru's knife without even reacting."
"In terms of mystery, Otake Maru is even better than Yamata no Orochi... Ah, no, in terms of mystery, Yamata no Orochi is more mysterious."
"After all, we already know that Otake Maru is a male, and he is also a warrior who can ride a thousand horses."
"As for Yamata-no-Orochi, we really have a dark eye."
Speaking of this, my grandson paused for a moment as if he had recalled something.
"Speaking of which... just a while ago, our intelligence agency intercepted a piece of information that we don't know whether to be true or not - Otakemaru seems to be a disabled person."
When Xiye heard this, his brows jumped suddenly, and a look of disbelief appeared on his cheeks.
"Disability? How can a person with an incomplete body become a martial arts master?"
In Nishino's perception, whether the five senses are disordered or the limbs are missing, they are far away from the term "highest combat power".
"Well, I'm not sure about this. The person who intercepted this information only found out that Otakemaru is a disabled person. As for which part of his body is missing, it's not clear."
"Rather, it's still unclear whether this information is accurate and whether Otakemaru is a disabled person."
My grandson paused for a moment, then gave Nishino a wry, apologetic smile.
"Oops, sorry, sorry~ the topic seems to have gone too far~~"
"Aren't we talking about Rakshasa? Why did we suddenly talk about Otakemaru?"
"Let's get back to the topic~~"
If possible, Nishino would like to listen more and collect more information about Otakemaru, Yamata no Orochi and other important figures in the execution party.
However, before he could say anything, my grandson continued on his own:
"Among the many cadres of the Hōzū Party, Rakshasa's status is not as high as Otakemaru, Shuten Doji and Tamamo-mae, but it is only inferior to the three of them."
"He is a member of the Fa Zun Party... No, it should be said that he is an all-rounder who is extremely rare in any force and is both civil and military, and can act alone."
"For this reason, he is deeply respected by Yamata no Orochi."
"Otherwise, Yamata no Orochi would not have entrusted him with the important Kanto region."
"I have been working undercover next to him for a long time, so I have a deep understanding of how difficult and ruthless this animal is."
"In short, he is as fierce as a tiger and as cunning as a fox."
"Although when we left Rakshasa's bedroom, we set a fire in his bookshelf, which greatly hindered his subsequent investigation, but in any case, the opponent is that Rakshasa after all, so we will continue
You can never be too cautious.”
"If we delay for too long, it is very likely that Rakshasa will see through our identity and intentions."
"By then, things will be difficult to handle and we will be very passive."
"To sum up, 'rush into Phoenix House's mansion as quickly as possible and capture Phoenix House Yataro' is our best strategy at the moment."
After being silent for a while, Nishino sighed softly.
"Well, you're right... I just have to give it a try."
At this time, my grandson shrugged suddenly:
"There is no plan in this world that is perfect and will never go wrong."
"If we were afraid of death, we would not join the Great Salt Party."
"From the moment I decided to devote myself to the revolutionary cause of 'overthrowing the Edo shogunate and creating a peaceful and prosperous age,' I no longer expected to die peacefully on my bed like ordinary people."
"In the past 20 years or so, countless comrades have sacrificed their lives in order to realize Mr. Dashan's ideals. It would be an honor and even a blessing for me to be among them."
My grandson's voice was calm but powerful. When he said the words "If I could be among them," the holiness displayed in his voice was unprecedented.
"...My grandson, I have something unclear."
Faced with Nishino's sudden question, my grandson said "Huh?" for no apparent reason.
"You... no, why do you trust me so much?"
Nishino raised his head and looked into my grandson's eyes with burning eyes.
"I am an official of the shogunate, and I am the kind of person who regards 'loyalty to the shogunate' as the highest code of conduct."
"In your eyes, I should be one of those hopeless idiots who have no value in recruiting him, right?"
"In addition, I have always called you 'rebellious officials and traitors', and I have never given you a good look."
"But even so, you still treat me as if nothing is wrong and you are still very friendly to me."
"He even entrusted me with such an important task as 'capturing Phoenix House Yataro alive'."
"Aren't you afraid that I will hold you back or betray you?"
"This is really abnormal."
"For an organization that has been able to survive for more than 20 years under the full suppression of the shogunate, its members cannot be fools who easily trust strangers."
"If you think about it carefully, the encounter between you and me is full of all kinds of weirdness."
"At that time, you told me: You came to the crime scene to find out the real culprit who killed the Kanazawa brothers and sisters, and then you met me by chance."
"Is this just an excuse for you? An excuse to get closer to me."
"You have been targeting me from the beginning, and you wanted to recruit me to help you investigate Huanfu Lake, so you made up this excuse to get close to me and break my guard."
"Am I right?"
Nishino stared straight at my grandson.
My grandson looked into the distance and remained silent as if he wanted to escape reality.
After a while, he chuckled quietly a few times.
"Hahaha...'Beifan Institute's number one crime solver' is really not that easy to fool..."
After he finished speaking, he was quiet for a moment.
When he spoke again, there was a look of helplessness on his brows.
"Okay...since you've seen through everything, I'll just tell you the whole truth."
"Actually, when we were looking for someone to help me sneak into Rakshasa's bedroom, one of our comrades recommended you to us."
Nishino was startled.
"Comrade?"
My grandson nodded lightly.
"This comrade is a highly trusted old man in our Great Salt Party. Since he personally said that 'Nishino Hosejiro is worthy of trust', 'Nishino Hosejiro has both extraordinary courage and rich practical experience. Find him.
It's absolutely right to help'. Since he mentioned this, we decided to adopt his suggestion."
"Who is that 'comrade' you speak of...?"
While Nishino asked rhetorically, he thought to himself:
Nishino Hosejiro is trustworthy...The person who can say such things must be someone who is very familiar with me.
Speaking of people who are very familiar with him... Due to the nature of his work, he has to meet too many people every day.
Neighbors, family, friends, colleagues in the practice...
Several names came to his mind at once, and it was difficult to pinpoint the suspect for a while.
Under Nishino's keen gaze, my grandson spread his hands.
"Well... I'm sorry, please forgive me for remaining silent."
"I can't tell you the true identity of that comrade yet."
Sure enough, it was impossible to reveal it to me so easily... Nishino cursed.
My grandson's behavior of "although it answered a question, it also led to a bigger mystery" made Nishino feel very uncomfortable.
Just when he was itching and racking his brains to think about who the person who recommended him was, my grandson suddenly gave him an intriguing look.
"That comrade also told us: Hosejiro Nishino is expected to become our reliable comrade-in-arms, so we hope we can find an opportunity to guide you so that you can complete your ideological awakening as soon as possible."
Because my grandson's words were rather obscure, Nishino couldn't react for a while.
After about 5 seconds, he realized what my grandson meant.
"Reliable comrade? Stop joking."
He scolded hastily.
"Who wants to join in the trouble with you bunch of rebellious officials and traitors? Once the illusion is gone, we will live apart and never see each other again."
My grandson smiled slightly and made no rebuttal.
At this time, Ebina's rich voice suddenly sounded behind them:
"Are you all ready?"
Akutsu replied impatiently:
"Ready to go at any time."
After saying that, he shook the chain sickle in his hand, and the iron chains collided with each other, making a sharp "clattering" sound.
"We can do it here too."
My grandson said as he put the inspected sword back into its sheath.
If possible, Nishino would like to chat with my grandson for a while longer.
But judging from the current situation... we can only wait until next time.
Nishino touched the cuffs under his armpits, made a final inspection of the tightness of the cuffs, and then cast a firm look at Ebina.
Ebina's calm gaze swept around everyone's faces from left to right.
"Then... let's go!"
…
…
The figures of the five people passed through the quiet and empty street.
When they were about to arrive at their destination, they divided into two groups - Ebina, Ichinose and Akutsu approached Phoenix Yataro's residence from the front, while my grandson and Nishino took a detour to reach the rear of the residence.
Within a moment, heart-rending screams and cries that pierced the clouds and cracked rocks broke the silence of the night.
"Enemy attack! There is an enemy attack!"
"What's going on? Are the untouchables here to steal money and rice?"
"Not sure!"
"Let's go! Go check out the situation!"
…
When it felt like it was almost time, my grandson said softly:
"Nishino-kun, let's go."
Nishino nodded vigorously, and then he and my grandson ran out of the alley where they were hiding.
My grandson worked hard and ran to the bottom of the wall first, then squatted down and folded his hands in front of his belly button with his palms facing up.
Nishino ran a few steps, jumped lightly, stepped on my grandson's palm with his right foot, and used it as a leverage point to jump up like a green onion on dry land. My grandson took advantage of the situation and sent him upwards.
When Nishino's body flew to the highest point, he relaxed his ape arms, grabbed the top of the wall with his big iron-like hands, then turned his body upwards like an origami, and stood firmly on the wall with his feet.
Immediately afterwards, he turned around, stretched out his right hand, and pulled up my grandson who was still at the base of the wall.
With the tacit cooperation of both parties, the two successfully crossed the wall.

Who is the comrade my grandson is talking about? I wonder if any book friends can guess it~~
