However, the blown-down house and the burning flames told them that the chances of the daimyo surviving in the current situation were almost zero.
A few minutes later, Yamagami Toruno came here with Princess Asuka.
"Here, what happened?"
Asuka;
The Lord stared blankly at the flames that had been extinguished by the soldiers, leaving only the ruins of houses with broken wood and rotten tiles.
Yu Yi Qianhan stepped forward and said with some guilt: "Sorry, there is a ninja who came to assassinate Daimyo, and the opponent has already been taken down by us, but it is a pity that His Excellency Daimyo..."
Yu Yi Qianhan did not continue, but the meaning he expressed was already quite obvious.
The house was blown up in such a state that Daimyo Tanaka might be dead, and even the whole body would not be preserved.
"Father!"
Princess Asuka exclaimed, and then her eyes went dark for an instant, and her body became limp.
Yamagami Toruno, who had been watching Princess Asuka, hurriedly hugged her, and then shouted.
"Protect the scene, and no one is allowed to touch it! Also, you go and summon the ministers to come here, regardless of whether you are asleep or not, call me over!"
Speaking of Yamagami Toruno pointing to one of the soldiers at the scene, the voice fell, and he ran out holding Princess Asuka.
"oh oh……"
The accused soldier nodded hurriedly, and then ran out of Daming Mansion with a long gun.
Yu Yi Qianhan just looked at everything that happened around him, standing still without making too many movements.
After a while, after settling down the unconscious Princess Asuka, Yamagami Tono came back here: "Is there no one moving around here?"
What he said was entirely for the soldiers and servants present, after all, they were all witnesses.
"no!"
Sure enough, after hearing the inquiry from Shan Shang, the soldiers answered in unison.
During this period, Yamagami Toruno and Yuyi Qianhan did not communicate with each other throughout the whole process, but both of them knew exactly what they were going to do.
As time passed, the ministers arrived one after another.
However, when they saw the scene in front of them, the minds of these ministers who had been stunned were instantly cleared up.
What's happening here? !
Seeing that everyone has arrived, Shan Shang Cheye said: "Everyone has seen it too. My father-in-law was unfortunately assassinated just now. This is the remains of the ruins that have not been cleaned up. As for the murderer, he has been taken down, and now he is there. Lie down."
Saying that, Tono on the mountain pointed to the base of the wall to the west.
The ten ministers looked in the direction of Cheye's finger on the mountain, and saw that there were indeed several corpses there.
They took a closer look and found that three of them were ninja guards hired by the daimyo all the year round. As for the other three, they also looked familiar to them.
"This, aren't these the three guards of Inoue Daimyo during the day!"
Soon, some ministers recognized each other's identities. After all, they had just met these three people during the day, so they could easily identify them now.
However, didn't these three people leave with Daimyo Inoue during the day, why did they suddenly appear here now?
Is it...
"Aren't you also the guard hired by the daimyo? What were you doing when the daimyo was assassinated?" One of the ministers suddenly looked at Qianhan Yuyi.
Chihan Yuromo explained in a deep voice: "Daimyo Inoue's desire to covet the former defender of the castle has been clearly revealed, and Daimyo Tanaka was worried that an accident would happen to His Excellency Tomono Yamagami, so he asked me to protect His Excellency Yamajo Torono.
Unexpectedly, tonight, there was no accident with Your Excellency Torono Yamasaka, but Daimyo Tanaka..."
After Yuyi Qianhan finished speaking, the ministers were all silent.
At this time, Yuyi Qianhan said again: "However, although I failed to save Tanaka Daimyo in time, I still caught the murderer."
Ministers, you look at me and I look at you. In the end, all eyes fell on Shan Shangcheye.
Seeing this, Yamagami Tomono looked at the other party: "In this situation, it is clear who the murderer is. I have decided to inherit the Daimyo position tomorrow, and then find Inoue to avenge my father-in-law. What do you think?"
After the words fell, the five ministers who had already taken refuge in the wild on the mountain immediately said: "Your name is wise!"
Originally, Tanaka Daimyo decided to give up his position to Yamagami Tomono tomorrow, so it is completely fine that Yamagami Tohino will inherit the daimyo's position tomorrow.
And the other five ministers also echoed: "We agree!"
In this way, next to the ruins, Yamagami Tomono and the ten ministers agreed that Inoue Daimyo was the culprit who sent people to assassinate Tanaka Daimyo, and Yamagami Tetsuno was the one who wanted to inherit the daimyo's position and avenge Tanaka Daimyo.
Afterwards, under the command of Tono Yamagami, the soldiers cleaned up the ruins and found a few charred bones with meat inside.
The discovery of these bones also completely declared the death of Tanaka Daimyo.
Chapter 177
The original guard.
Last night, Tanaka Daimyo was unfortunately assassinated and killed. The murderer was Inoue Daimyo who had long coveted the original defenders.
In this regard, Tanaka Daimyo's son-in-law Yamagami Toruno announced last night that he will inherit the daimyo's position today, and at the same time avenge his father-in-law and former daimyo!
"Are you all ready?" Shan ShangTorono asked a minister next to him.
The other party was one of the first ministers to take refuge in him, and his duty was to be responsible for various related ceremonial affairs, such as the succession of the daimyo, the wedding of the princess, and the visits of other daimyos.
"Back to your daimyo, everything is ready." The minister clasped his hands and replied.
Yamagami Torono nodded, and then looked at Princess Asuka next to him: "Xiangxiang, let's go."
Princess Asuka nodded and didn't speak, she seemed not very interested.
But it's also understandable that her father died last night, and she would be damned if she could be happy.
"Is it really my father who Inoue sent someone to assassinate?"
Princess Asuka held Yamagami Toruno's arm and asked in a low voice after walking out of the room.
Yamagami Teyano said: "Inoue was very aggressive the day he first came here, and you recognized the appearance of the three ninjas last night. You can know who the murderer is without further ado."
Princess Asuka's eyes turned red: "But, Father is Inoue's father-in-law, and Inoue also married his sister, how could he do this?"
Yamagami Tono put his arms around Princess Asuka's shoulder, and patted lightly: "Don't worry, I will avenge my father-in-law!"
As soon as he said the words, Tono Yamagami felt a little guilty in his heart, but he recovered immediately afterward.
For the dream of the young patriarch, for the peace of the world, some sacrifices are inevitable.
After world peace, there won't be so many people dying every day, and children don't have to go to the battlefield with immature faces.
Therefore, Daimyo Tanaka's sacrifice is not meaningless. I only need to treat Princess Asuka well in the future.
Faced with the comfort from Yamashang Toru, Princess Asuka nodded slightly, and gave a low response: "Yes."
Soon, the two walked out of the Daming Mansion and drove to the city wall to the east.
After arriving at the place, surrounded by the ministers, Yamagami Toruno and Princess Asuka held each other's arms and slowly climbed up the tower.
At this time, the city tower was already full of people who came to watch the ceremony, and they all wanted to see what kind of person the new Yamagami Daimyo was.
Yuyi Qianhan leaned against the city wall, crossed his arms and crossed his chest: "At this point, our plan is basically completed."
Yuyi Zhengfang standing next to him looked at his son standing on the tower, his eyes were a little dazed: "Yeah, I really didn't expect that we would be able to do such a thing one day."
As a ninja himself, he actually watched his son become a daimyo with his own eyes. This was something he had never thought of before.
Yuyi Qianhan smiled: "Haha, Uncle Zhengfang, we have to take a long-term view, and there will be even more surprising things happening in the future."
If someone else said this, Zhengfang Yuyi would inevitably give the other party a blank stare, but now that the young patriarch said this, he instinctively believed in it.
"I believe in you, young patriarch!" Yuyi Zhengfang looked at Yuyi Qianhan seriously.
With the arrival of the right time, the minister rang the ceremony bell, and the succession ceremony officially began.
Shanshang Cheye stepped forward, with a solemn aura on his body: "My fellow citizens, I, Shanshang Cheye, announce here today that I will inherit the position of daimyo from the former city guard!"
"Oh!!"
After the voice fell, the crowd below the tower suddenly cheered loudly.
When Daimyo Tanaka inherited the position of Daimyo, he didn't let all the people come to watch the ceremony.
Everything that happened when Daimyo Tanaka inherited the position of Daimyo was carried out within the Daimyo Mansion. Ordinary people like them are not qualified to watch the ceremony at all.
But now, the new Yamagami Daimyo actually put the succession ceremony on the tower, and let everyone come to watch the ceremony. This made the people below feel that they were valued. How could this not make them feel happy? happy.
"Whoo~"
Looking at the cheering crowd below, Shan Shang Cheye heaved a sigh of relief. After this incident, his position seemed to be more stable.
This is also thanks to the idea of the young patriarch, who let him place the succession ceremony on the city gate.
Otherwise, he really doesn't have that much confidence to win the support of the people.
Next is the cumbersome succession ceremony, although these things are very boring, but Yu;
Yi Qianhan and Yuyi Zhengfang did not leave either.
After all, there are many people out here with mixed eyes, and their plan is finally coming to an end. If something happens at this time and Shanshang Cheye is assassinated, he will probably be stupid.
Therefore, in order to successfully complete the plan, it is better for them not to be lazy.
While the rites and music continued to play, the sun moved slowly, and the long and cumbersome succession ceremony was finally over.
Yamagami Tetsuno and Princess Asuka also took the carriage again, and returned to the Daming Mansion with the ministers.
"Xiangxiang, go back and rest." Shan Shang Torono looked at Princess Asuka and said.
After all, Princess Asuka is the daughter of Daimyo Tanaka, who was spoiled and spoiled. The long succession ceremony has already exhausted him.Reading room novel network;
"Okay." Princess Asuka nodded and turned to leave.
Watching the back of his wife going away, Yamagami Toruno led the ministers into the hall to discuss the next matters.
"Everyone, the succession ceremony is over, now, let's discuss the matter of revenge for my father-in-law!"
To avenge Tanaka Daimyo and eradicate Inoue Daimyo, this is what Tono Yamagami must do.
Killing Daimyo Inoue will, on the one hand, legitimize his position as a daimyo, and on the other hand, enhance his personal prestige.
Of course, the most important thing is to solve the hidden danger of Inoue, so Daimyo Inoue must die.
"I don't know, what does Daimyo-sama mean?" One of the ministers asked tentatively.
Yamagami Teyano said: "Inoue sent someone to assassinate the former daimyo, and he must pay for it, so I decided to conquer Inoue and let him be buried with the former daimyo!"
The ministers looked dignified, and no one said a word. You know, Yuan Shoucheng hadn't fought a big battle for a long time, and now the daimyo on the mountain opened his mouth to kill him, which made the ministers feel a little uncertain.
At this time, the minister in charge of etiquette asked, "Daimyo, what should Tanaka Daimyo do for his funeral?"
He had discussed these things with the young patriarch, and now he just opened his mouth and said, "In this way, sending an envoy to condemn Inoue for daring to assassinate his own father-in-law is simply unfilial to the extreme, let him give an explanation for this.
At the same time, our army is preparing for war. After the father-in-law is buried, we will send troops to attack the opponent! "
Chapter 178 Inoue's Countermeasures
"What did you say? Daimyo Tanaka is dead!?"
In Kawashita Castle, west of the original guard castle, Inoue Daimyo looked at the envoy below with a face full of surprise.
"Daimyo Inoue, you sent ninjas to assassinate your own father-in-law in order to seize the former defenders of the city. You are absolutely insane. You must give an explanation for this!"
The envoy who was originally guarding the city spoke uprightly and scolded Daimyo Inoue unceremoniously.
After all, what he represents now is the power of Yuan Shoucheng, and his former daimyo was assassinated by the other party. If he is still kind, isn't it clear that he wants others to think that Yuan Shoucheng is easy to bully.
Therefore, he must not be weak at this time.
"You fart! I never did such a thing!"
Seeing that the other party opened his mouth and said that he sent a ninja to assassinate Tanaka Daimyo, Inoue Daimyo's lungs were about to explode in an instant.
It's no wonder he's annoyed that such a big shit bowl was stuck on his head for no reason.
"Daimyo Inoue, the ninjas you sent to assassinate Daimyo Tanaka have been captured. They are the three ninjas who guarded you. Do you still want to argue!"
Facing Daimyo Inoue's refusal to admit it, the emissary responded unceremoniously.
You know, the corpses of those three ninjas cannot be faked, it is an iron-clad fact, and Daimyo Inoue actually wants to refute it in the face of iron-clad evidence. Could it be that the other party really thinks that their original defenders are weak and can be bullied.
