Although Hasegawa was mentally prepared to hear this result.
But after hearing the word "no results" from Kamiyama's mouth, the expression on Hasegawa's face became solemn uncontrollably.
At this time, Shenshan continued:
"One week after releasing the second batch of prisoners to Butterfly Island, we sent a scout team to the island to check on the situation."
"After a rough search, not a single corpse of the 'Man-Eater' was found. Instead, the corpses of the prisoners were scattered all over the place."
"The scout team that landed on the island to search also encountered a group of cannibals, and they suffered nearly half of the casualties before escaping back to Lai."
"Although we immediately released the third batch of prisoners to the 'Butterfly Island', there were not many strong people among the prisoners in the third batch, so the results must have been fruitless..."
"I just hope that the fourth batch of prisoners who are about to land on the island can have some skills..."
"Even if I only kill one 'cannibal' in the end..."
After the emotion from Kamiyama came to an end, Hasegawa said in a deep voice:
"As expected... Even the regular army can't do anything to deal with those 'cannibals'. How can a mere prisoner deal with those monsters..."
"To put it simply...letting the prisoners land on the island to deal with those monsters...this kind of thing itself is ridiculous..."
"It's not ridiculous." Kamiyama said in a helpless tone, "It's not like this kind of thing has never been done before. In the Kamakura period hundreds of years ago, a group of prisoners were mobilized to board Tsushima Island to fight against the incoming attack.
Will the Yuan army resist?"
"And these prisoners who were mobilized to Tsushima Island still achieved some military exploits to a certain extent."
"I have already heard that it was Lao Nakamatsu Taira's idea to mobilize serious criminals nationwide, especially those with good skills, to land on the island."
"Anyway, these felons are a bunch of people who don't matter even if they die. Instead of just killing them with one knife, it's better to send them to the 'Butterfly Island' and let them contribute some efforts to this country before they die——
This seems to be Matsudaira Sadanobu’s plan.”
"Hmph." Hasegawa sneered, "Just because Matsudaira believed in his idea, a large number of prisoners who had many uses on my side were lost!"
"Hasegawa, you seem to be very resentful."
"Of course! Do you know how many clues I have for major cases, but they were cut off just because I sent important criminals to Kii?"
"Alas..." Shenshan sighed, then stood up and patted Hasegawa on the shoulder, "Hasegawa, I understand you."
"But I also hope that Ni can understand the shogunate."
"What happened on the 'Butterfly Island'... really frightened the entire shogunate headed by the general..."
"It is important to handle these major cases."
"However - whether these major cases are resolved or not, it will not actually affect the Edo shogunate's control of the world."
"Just like the 'Buddha Enemy' you have been chasing some time ago."
"The crimes committed by the 'enemies of Buddha' are just burning temples, stealing treasures, and killing some people. If such a person can cause trouble, what kind of trouble can he cause?"
"Can we capture the 'Buddha Enemy'? This matter will not affect the general's rule at all."
"But...'Butterfly Island' is different."
"If these monsters currently entrenched on the 'Butterfly Island' are not dealt with quickly, the impact will be huge..."
"The shogunate has issued a death order, and all the cannibals on Butterfly Island must be wiped out at all costs."
"If he hadn't been forced to panic, Matsudaira Sadanobu would not have resorted to the strategy of 'mobilizing the felons and letting them go first'."
"In this special period like this, serious criminals are also a very valuable fighting force."
Hasegawa's fists were squeezed and released, released and squeezed again.
After a long while, the various emotions accumulated in Hasegawa's chest finally turned into a long sigh, spitting out from Hasegawa's mouth.
"...That's all."
Hasegawa said, turning around.
"Kamiyama, have you finished asking my questions? Let's go down and rest first..."
As soon as Hasegawa walked to the door, Kamiyama suddenly seemed to have remembered something and called out to Hasegawa.
"Right? Hasegawa."
"What's the matter?" Hasegawa turned around.
"What's going on with your 'Personal Foot Yard' recently?" A look of hesitation appeared on Kamiyama's face, "I heard recently... Matsudaira Sadanobu is very dissatisfied with your 'Personal Foot Yard'... This is true
Of?"
"Oh? This is what happened"
Hasegawa whispered? His tone was flat, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
"It is indeed true. Matsudaira Sadanobu has been fighting corruption and promoting integrity since he became a veteran and launched the first government reform with the shogun."
"And he thinks my 'Personal Foot Yard' is just a shabby place that wastes money? So he always looks down on me and my 'Personal Foot Yard'."
Having said this, Hasegawa shrugged, and a light smile appeared on his face.
"But it's just an ordinary little thing."
"Even if I am targeted by the old and middle-aged people, I will work hard to keep the 'Football Yard' open."
Having said that, Hasegawa opened the door, left Kamiyama's office, and walked away, completely disappearing from Kamiyama's sight.
…
…
"Hey! You bastard! Did you just glare at me?!"
"Huh? So what if I stare at you?! Bah!"
"Damn it! How dare you spit at me?! Bah! Bah! Bah!"
"Hahahaha! If you feel like it, just spit on it!"
"I really want to play with women... Even if I can't play with women, it's okay to show me some women..."
"Why are male and female prisoners housed separately..."
…
There are no entertainment activities here? There is nowhere to vent everyone's energy.
In addition, the people who will be taken here are basically hopeless felons? Therefore, quarreling, swearing, spitting... have become the most common scenery here.
Ogata was already used to the noise made by these over-energetic scum.
The most common way Ogata spends his time these days is to lean against the wall and chat with his "neighbor" Makimura Yahachi.
Because the two cages are adjacent to each other, they cannot see each other and can only communicate with each other through the stone brick wall.
"That is to say -" Ogata said, "You were sent here because of a fight?"
"That's right!" Makimura, who was separated from Ogata by a wall, responded loudly, "I beat up a corrupt official so hard that he was half disabled. Then unfortunately, he was caught by the officials and was twisted to the police station.
