Pillars of the Wu family

Chapter 496 Chaos in Kyoto

Then the "messy" jokes came out one after another. It was said that the concubine Wenche killed her child because she was jealous of Kenko Konoe, and cursed Ashikaga Yoshiki to go crazy and want to kill Kenko Konoe. The eminent monk found out but failed, and even more outrageously said that Shuten-doji broke the seal and returned to the world to kill Teruwakamaru.

Under the "chaos" in Kyoto, Konoe really had no way to get close to the sluggish Ashikaga Yoshiki to discuss the big event a long time ago, so he could only frequently go in and out of Ouchi and the palaces of various ministers to discuss the changes in the current situation, but he was very happy. It was soon discovered that whether it was the nobles of the public or the common people in Kinai, they were more concerned about what kind of monster Ashikaga Yoshiki was possessed by, rather than considering the impact of the current situation and the pros and cons of gains and losses.

In a small alley near the Gion Shrine outside Sakyo, Kyoto, there is a quiet courtyard full of green bamboos and unknown flowers. In a small pond, the water bamboos are tinkling, almost A bird landed on the edge of the pond, chirping at the water and combing its feathers from time to time. This small courtyard is like a small world isolated from the outside world, blocking the hustle and bustle outside the small courtyard.

In the courtyard sat a bald old man basking in the sun and taking a nap. It was not until a few birds in the corner of the courtyard suddenly flew away that the peaceful and peaceful scene was broken. The bald old man seemed to sense the strange atmosphere in the courtyard and slowly opened his With cloudy eyes, he saw a young woman in a red and white miko costume standing in the courtyard and smiling at him.

This old man is the former monk Xu, who was a layman of Guoxin, and when he saw the young woman in the maiden costume, he said, "Guoxin... you are here!"

The woman dressed as a witch is pretending to be the Guoxin layman of Yun'a Kingdom. When she saw the monk Xu, she just smiled and said: "My task has been completed ahead of schedule. Have you got the money yet?"

As soon as the money was mentioned, the old monk Xu became excited, put down his teacup and said excitedly: "I got it, Matsunaga Zhengden is very satisfied with your performance. He hopes to continue to cooperate with us. This time, the goal is ordered by the public party." Madam..."

"Okay, I don't want to hear these things. When you get the money, just give me my share!" The girl said with a sneer, "It's really hard to hold this money. I'm really sorry to do such a wicked thing." I am afraid that I will lose my children and grandchildren in the future. Are you not afraid, Master?"

Monk Xu couldn't hold back his face: "Cough...how can a poor monk have many sons and many blessings, so he will lose his children and grandchildren?" [

"Hehe, that's not necessarily true! Offending people who shouldn't be offended may one day end their children and grandchildren!" Guoxin Layman looked back at the quiet courtyard and said lightly: "The location of this courtyard is good, it is only a short distance from Zuojing , and can enjoy the peace and comfort that is rarely seen in Kyoto, the price of this courtyard is probably not cheap! It seems that Master has really earned a lot of money that is unreasonable!"

Being reprimanded face-to-face by his disciples for making black-hearted money.This is an experience that Monk Xu has never encountered in many years. The angry old monk trembled and pointed at her and scolded: "...Guo Xin! You must always remember your identity! You are the remnant of the prince of the Southern Dynasty. These Heyuan people are even more taboo! Without the intervention of the old man, you can only prostrate in the corner of Kyushu and be a humble peasant woman. Everything you use is given to you by the poor monk! You have to learn to be grateful, and you have to know how to be fearful and virtuous! Do you understand?"

Layman Guoxin wrinkled his little nose.Replied with disgust: "This is a two-way fair choice. You choose me to inherit the skills of Layman Guoxin, and I use my ability to repay you for giving you a good life. There is no one between us who is grateful, let alone fearful." Wei Huaide, the sages of the Ming Dynasty said that living with good people is like entering a house of orchid orchids, and not smelling its fragrance for a long time. Living with wicked people is like living in an abalone house, and not smelling its smell for a long time. Smoked!"

"You traitor! I'm so angry..." Monk Xu beat his chest and stamped his feet angrily, even the title changed to another matter, pointing at Layman Guoxin and cursed: "You are going to die of anger Old man! The old man was so angry that he wanted to seize the old man's family property. The old man was so blind back then, how could he choose you as his apprentice? The old man should have..."

"Stop talking nonsense, give me the key!" Layman Guoxin stretched out his hand to make an appearance that he didn't want to listen to your nonsense, and yelled at Monk Xu angrily, repeatedly calling her ungrateful, filial, filial, shameless, etc. wait.

Sure enough, Layman Guoxin was scolded and annoyed.Pointing to the courtyard, he said: "This courtyard is so beautiful, it must have gathered a lot of hard work and wisdom from Master! This courtyard is a good place to live in seclusion for the elderly, but wouldn't it be a pity if it was burned down by a fire overnight?" Woolen cloth?"

Monk Xu widened his eyes and shouted: "You are threatening the old man..."

"Whatever Master thinks! If you don't give me money, this beautiful courtyard will definitely catch fire!" Layman Guoxin folded his arms and made a smug gesture. Because he knew that he couldn't beat this thin little girl.

Their organization is a bit similar to the ancient underworld organization, and they do some shady business such as debt collection, extortion, kidnapping and fraud.Occasionally, he would make a guest appearance on killing, arson, and robbing houses. Because the activities were not fixed and there was a large grassroots group supporting him, and because of the influence of the wars in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Muromachi Shogunate even knew that there was such a social cancer.

The evil Gosho Ashikaga Yoshinaka once intended to attack their group, so he specifically mentioned this matter in the Gozen Sata. The leader of the shogunate, Hosokawa Mochiyuki, personally asked and made a related plan, but it has not had time When it was put into action, the Cargill Rebellion broke out, Ashikaga Yoshinaka was killed, Hosokawa Mochiji was almost cut and disabled, and then a new round of riots broke out in Toichikui, making the shogunate busy fighting fires everywhere to avenge and help the new general Waiting for chores, just trying to cover up this little social cancer hazard.

Later, Ying Renzhi's "chaotic" army made a big deal about the issue of setting up an heir for the general's family. Nearly 30 troops gathered in Kyoto and almost crippled this ancient capital. The most impressive thing for the residents of Kyoto is the war in Kyoto. Asahi General Minamoto Yoshinaka burned Kyoto, and the several wars from the Onin Rebellion were the eternal pain of the people of Kyoto.

The more "chaotic" Kyoto is, the better it is for these urban foxes and social rats. It just so happens that in the past hundred years, Kyoto has experienced the Mingyu Coup, the Battle of Funaokayama, the Battle of Huoshaoshanke Honganji Temple, the Battle of Fukakusa, the Battle of Katsuragawa, and the Battle of Luozhong After a series of wars, in less than a hundred years, these pests crawling in the dark corners of society swelled up at an alarming rate.

But no matter how they swell, they still lack the support of force and the existence of more important legal cloaks. Their status is somewhat similar to the villainous party in the late Kamakura shogunate, but the villainous party was a group that refused to accept the shogunate and did not participate in the Genpei War. Vested interests, they have land, population, and strong military strength, and today's world has long since reached a consensus after the unification of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. All warriors in the world respect the Ashikaga family as the supreme ruler of the samurai family.

These pests in Kyoto can only be pests and can't do anything else. Not to mention they dare not provoke the powerful Miyoshi family and the Kira family, even the samurai of the shogunate are not something they can provoke. There are 3 people, but there are no more than 500 strong men who can actually be used, and there are barely about [-] people who can be called thugs.

It's okay to imitate the bandit Yebu with this ability, and it's okay to rob the shogunate and even the order of the capital. They don't even dare to rob the slightly larger merchants, because these merchants either have chambers of commerce behind them to support the front group The back huggers didn't dare to get close at all, or they would join together and hire ronin to protect themselves, so they could only bully some small businessmen who had just entered the industry or didn't know where they were. [

Under this premise, the monk Xu was forced to dare not quarrel with Layman Guoxin in person, not to mention that his body was too old to be the opponent of Layman Guoxin, and there might already be people in the system of their secret organization. Her co-conspirators divided up their own land and property, which might have been done according to Layman Guoxin's temperament.

Monk Xu looked at Layman Guoxin in amazement, and after a long time, he threw a bunch of keys over: "... Here you go! It's in the earthen warehouse of Shengle House in the lower reaches of Kamogawa River, remember to go there in the middle of the night so that no one can see it!"

"I don't plan to cooperate with Song Yongxiu anymore. Master help me to reject that request! It's enough for me to do the rebellious behavior once. I will disappear for a while recently, master don't read it!" After finishing speaking, Layman Guoxin's figure quietly disappeared in the faint bamboo forest.

"Damn bastard woman! The old man must...huh!" Seng Xu endured for a long time and swallowed the cruel words back. It is a fool's thing to say harsh words afterwards, and the monk Xu is very smart and would never do such a meaningless fool thing.

Stretching your legs a few times, you quietly walked into the room behind you, opened the door, carefully opened a secret door, followed the dark secret door to the spacious cellar below, where there were mountains of gold, silver and copper coins, and a pair of skinny hands like chicken feet Touching these real gold and silver carefully is like touching a beautiful work of art or a beautiful woman with a graceful figure.

"Sure enough, only gold, silver and copper coins are the most reliable! Only they are the most obedient! Don't worry about betraying me if you put them here! In this "chaotic" world, you can have nothing, but you can't live without money!" Monk Xu held his hands enthusiastically. Jinyin yelled like a child with a pile of toys.

Suddenly, the lights in the cellar flickered slightly, which immediately alerted the monk who was obsessed with gold and silver, and he heard a crisp voice saying: "Master is right! You can have nothing, but you can't have money. Guo Xin also thinks it makes sense..." (To be continued.
