"According to that Heitaro, when they were ordered to come to Kyoto to carry out the mission of 'defending Nijo Castle', they had just received a request from the shogunate to 'move their base to Edo'."
"Even their leader, Enma, didn't know exactly where they were going to move to in Edo."
"Because at that time, the specific location of the base in Edo had not been decided, so their leader Enma told them: After completing the mission, they should go directly to Edo. After arriving in Edo, they should go directly to the Edo magistrate's office. The Edo Nanboku-cho magistrate will tell them the specific location of the new base in Shiranui."
"...Can you believe what Heitaro said?" Atachi said in a deep voice.
"It should be credible." Asai said, "He has already said that their base in Shiranui has moved to Edo. There is no reason for him to continue to conceal the specific location of their Shiranui."
"He probably really doesn't know where their new base in Shiranui is in Edo."
"But no matter what - it's enough to know that their new base in Shiranui is in Edo."
Asai raised his eyes and looked Ogata up and down several times.
"Ichitosai, allow me to ask you a question - how are your injuries?"
"Much better."
"Can we move long distances now?"
"It should be fine."
"Okay then." Asai nodded slightly, then said seriously, "Our lord plans to leave Kyoto in three days."
"Let's go back to Owari first and rest there."
"After resting in Owari, we will take the sea route to Edo. We will hunt with Shiranui in Edo."
"So the lord wants to confirm whether your current body can adapt to the long journey back to Owari."
"There's nothing wrong with my body." Ogata nodded without hesitation, "I think you should care more about Makimura than me."
Ogata changed his tone to a half-joking one.
"I think Makimura's injuries look more serious than mine."
"He doesn't have any strong points." Asai chuckled a few times, "His greatest strength is probably his amazing recovery ability. Makimura can even get out of bed and run around freely now."
"Then - Ittosai, we will leave Kyoto in three days, return to Owari first, and then go to Edo to fight a decisive battle with Shiranui. Do you have any suggestions or questions about the Lord's plan?"
Ogata did not answer Asai's question immediately, but turned his head and cast an inquiring look at Atachi.
"A-Ting, what do you think?"
"I think it's OK."
"Then..." Ogata turned his gaze back to Asai, "Go back and tell Miss Kinoshita that A-Machi and I have no objection to her plan."
"Okay." Asai said, he picked up the katana on the tatami on the right and slowly stood up. "Then - I will take my leave first."
Ogata and A-machi escorted Asai to the door.
Standing at the door, watching Asai's gradually shrinking figure, Ogata thought to himself:
——They went back to Owari, probably to pick up Mamiya and Genichirō...
As far as Ogata knew, Mamiya and Genichirō did not come to Kyoto, but stayed in their base in Owari.
Kinoshita Rin has decided to completely break up with Shiranui and completely eliminate the hidden danger of Shiranui, even at the cost of bringing in two allies, Ogata and Atachi.
This is enough to show Kinoshita Lin's determination to "completely resolve the hidden dangers in Shiranui".
Since they have decided to completely break off relations with Shiranui, in order to ensure the chance of winning, they will naturally send out all the combat forces they can.
Therefore, it is not difficult to infer that the reason why Lin and the others returned to Huluya was probably to bring Mamiya and Genichi along, and then have everyone go out together to Edo.
After Asai's back completely disappeared, Atachi let out a small sigh:
"Leaving in three days..."
"We have to say goodbye properly to Lord Fuma." Ogata echoed.
"I don't know how to start..." Ating smiled bitterly, "Master Fuma just experienced separation a few days ago..."
After hearing what Atachi said, Ogata pursed his lips and fell silent.
Ten years ago, Fuma disbanded his Fuma Village, making Fuma Village completely a thing of the past.
After the disbanding of Fuma Village, Fuma's former subordinates also parted ways and went their separate ways.
Perhaps it was fate, but just a few days ago, Fengmo’s former subordinates came back to visit Fengmo together.
Ogata and Atachi also got to see the faces of these old subordinates of Fuma and get to know these old subordinates of Fuma.
The two days when Fengma's old subordinates came back were probably the happiest days for Fengma.
During those two days, Fengma's face was always full of smiles.
Those two days should have been the most crowded time at Fuma's house. While Ogata and Atachi were already staying there, Fuma's old subordinates also moved in.
It’s a pity that Fengmo’s old subordinates came suddenly and left quickly.
After all, after Fuma no Sato disbanded, they started their own new lives, so they only stayed in Kyoto for 2 days. After accompanying Fuma for 2 days, they went their separate ways again like 10 years ago.
That's why Atachi said, "I don't know how to start this."
After all, Fengmo had just experienced separation from his old subordinates a few days ago.
As a result, after a few days, Ogata and Atachi also left.
This made Ogata and Atachi feel a little...unbearable.
I don't know how to say goodbye to Feng Mo.
Just as Ogata and Atachi were standing at the gate, thinking about how to say goodbye to Fuma, Ogata suddenly heard light footsteps behind him.
Following the sound, he turned his head and looked back, only to see Fuma walking slowly towards him and Ating with his hands behind his back.
Before Ogata and Omachi could greet Fuma, Fuma took the lead and asked directly:
"You two are about to leave Kyoto, right?"
"Master Fuma, how did you know that?" A-Ming was surprised. "Did you eavesdrop on our conversation with Asai just now?"
"There's no need for eavesdropping." Feng Mo smiled, "I can tell from your expressions. Don't underestimate an old man who has lived for 72 years."
"And then—you two were thinking about how to say goodbye to me, right?"
Ogata and Atachi, whose thoughts were touched by Fuma, showed a hint of embarrassment on their faces.
"You don't need to think about these unnecessary things." Feng Mo said unhappily, "Just tell me 'see you again in the future'."
Having said this, Fengmo put on a warm smile.
"Leave Kyoto and go your separate ways."
"Especially you, Ogata-kun."
"Brother Ogata, please walk a path that Genichi has never walked before and surpass Genichi."
"Surpassing Genichi?" There was a flash of surprise in Ogata's eyes.
"Brother Ogata, I've told you before that Genichi and I have been friends for decades."
Feng Mo's face showed a look of reminiscence, and he raised his right hand and stroked his right cheek with his fingers.
"The first time I saw you, I realized that you looked a lot like Genichi when he was young."
"Does my face look a lot like Genichi?" Ogata raised his hand and touched his face, asking in a half-joking tone.
"No, it's not that your facial features resemble Genichi's, it's your aura that resembles Genichi's."
"When Yuan Yi was your age, he was also surrounded by a sword energy that seemed to poke the sun down from the sky."
"When Genichi was young, he always did all kinds of crazy things like your attack on Nijo Castle, so he offended a lot of people."
"But no matter how big a mess Yuan Yi got into, he always managed to get out of it unscathed, and became stronger and stronger, reaching the pinnacle of kendo step by step."
Fuma walked slowly in front of Ogata, raised his hand and patted Ogata's shoulder.
"I look forward to what you will accomplish in the future!"
"Keep moving forward, Brother Ogata."
"...Yes." Ogata smiled and nodded, "I will do my best."
"But don't expect too much from me."
Ogata shrugged and added in a joking tone.
…
…
3 days later——
"Ms. Atachi..." Shimada smacked his lips as he carried a large sack beside Atachi's feet into the carriage. "Why do you have so much luggage? What are these? Are they your clothes?"
"It would be great if my clothes could fill up so many sacks." Ah Ting said with a smile as he put another large sack full of clothes at his feet into the carriage. "My luggage is really huge."
"This bag contains gunpowder, and this bag contains some iron tools..."
Before Atachi could finish her words, Shimada interrupted her with a look of surprise:
"Ms. Ating, is this big bag full of gunpowder?"
"That's right."
"What do you want to do with all this gunpowder?"
"Of course it's used to make weapons, or how about fireworks?"
During the time when Ogata was recuperating at Fuma's home, Atachi did not just sit there doing nothing except taking care of Ogata.
At Ating's request, Fuma used some of his connections in Kyoto to help Ating purchase some gunpowder and iron tools.
According to Atachi, she plans to replenish a wave of bullets specifically for Motoya and Kasumi.
During that long night, a lot of bullets specially used by Suying and Kasumi were used up.
Ogata had almost used up all the bullets that Atachi gave him.
The large sacks that Atachi was now carrying one by one onto the carriage contained the gunpowder, iron tools, and some tools that Ogata could not name that Fuma had helped Atachi buy in Kyoto.
In addition to making tools specifically for Motoya and Kasumi, Atachi seemed to be planning to use these gunpowder and iron tools to make something else.
But no matter how Ogata asked Atachi what else he planned to do with these iron tools and gunpowder besides making bullets for Motoura and Kasumagami, Atachi remained secretive and said it was a secret and he would tell Ogata when it was done.
At this moment, two carriages stopped in front of Fengma's mansion.
These two carriages belong to Lin and his group.
According to Asai, these were horses and carriages that they purchased temporarily from an acquaintance in Kyoto.
The reason why it stopped in front of Fuma's residence was naturally to pick up Ogata and Atachi.
A-Ming was carrying her pile of gunpowder and iron tools onto the carriage, bag by bag.
Shimada helped Atachi load her stuff into the car.
Asai stood beside Lin and said goodbye to Fuma together with Lin.
Another person who said goodbye to Fuma was Ogata.
"Master Fuma." Ogata bowed respectfully to Fuma, "Thank you for taking care of us these days."
"Yeah." Feng Mo smiled calmly, "Have a safe trip."
After saying goodbye to Fuma, Ogata turned his attention to Kondo who was standing next to Fuma.
Kondo is also lucky.
He came to my house again today with some supplements.
Then he happened to run into Ogata who was about to leave.
Kondo's expression is now very complicated.
"Master...I wish you good luck in martial arts."
Kondo's face was filled with sadness and reluctance at this moment.
Looking at Kondo, whose face was filled with sadness and reluctance, Ogata couldn't help but reveal a hint of helplessness on his face.
During this period of time, he had also gotten used to Kondo visiting him from time to time and asking for advice.
It would be a lie to say that I have no feelings for Kondo, this enthusiastic and somewhat honest young man.
Now that he had to say goodbye to Kondo, Ogata couldn't help but feel a little reluctant.
"master……"
At this moment, Kondo lowered his head slightly and whispered.
"Can I... ask you one more... maybe one last sword-fighting question?"
"You ask." Ogata nodded slightly.
"Master, how and in what direction should I practice to reach your level of strength?"
With a hint of impatience on his face, Kondo asked Ogata the question he had always wanted to ask him since he met him.
"...Do you really want to become as strong as me?" Ogata asked.
"Yeah." Kondo nodded, "I dream of..."
Ogata was silent for a while, then slowly said to Kondo in front of him:
"Kondo, your swordsmanship level is not low."
"In terms of swordsmanship, I actually have nothing left to teach you."
"What you should do next is to go your own way."
Ogata slowly raised his right hand and placed the tip of his index finger on Kondou's chest.
"Don't be impatient."
“Follow nature.”
"Take one step at a time and move forward steadily."
"Come after me with a peaceful heart, Kondo."
A faint smile slowly appeared on Ogata's face.
"I will wait quietly in front for you to come and walk with me."
Kondo listened quietly to what Ogata had just said.
After Ogata finished speaking, Kondo muttered in a low voice that only he could hear:
"Don't be impatient, follow nature... chase with a peaceful heart..."
As Kondo murmured the words that Ogata had just said to him over and over again, Kondo's eyes gradually shone with a dazzling brilliance.
"Yes!" Kondo nodded vigorously, "Master, I understand!"
…
…
The passengers in the two carriages that Lin and his companions purchased temporarily were not only Lin and her companions, but also Ogata and Atachi.
The passengers in these two carriages also included Xuanren and Heitaro, who had been subjected to inhumane interrogation during this period.
Although Heitaro, who had been subjected to inhuman interrogation by Lin and his group continuously during this period, did not die, he looked like he was only half alive.
Because Lin thought that she might be able to get some useful information about Shiranui from Heitaro, she planned to bring Heitaro back to Owari as well.
As for Xuanren - he took the initiative to ask to go back to Owari with Lin.
Previously, Xuanren was thrown into prison for allegedly killing someone with medical treatment.
According to Xuanren, he was wrongly accused.
The person he was treating was already suffering from a terminal illness and was close to death.
He decided to take the risk and try to save the man because his family asked him to do so.
Unexpectedly, after the treatment failed, the poor patient's family members insisted that Xuanren had killed the patient.
This group of people were quite powerful in Kyoto, so the officials from Kyoto Prefecture threw Xuanren into prison without doing any unnecessary investigation.
Although Xuanren has successfully escaped from prison with the help of Lin and others, he can no longer stay in Kyoto.
If those people who wrongly accused Xuan Ren knew that Xuan Ren was released from prison, who knows what they would do to Xuan Ren.
Xuanren's only relatives are his master and senior brothers.
The only place to stay is Kyoto.
As he could no longer stay in Kyoto, Xuanren decided to cling to Lin's thigh and go to Owari with her for the sake of his own life.
Lin's Huluwu base is located in a mountain. At the foot of the mountain there is a small village.
The villagers in this village are all considered Huluwu people, and they are specifically responsible for guarding against outsiders approaching Huluwu's base. This village is considered the outpost of Huluwu.
This village happened to lack skilled doctors, and since Xuanren wanted to go to Owari with her, Lin readily nodded in agreement.
After Lin agreed to take him to Owari, with Lin's permission, Xuanren secretly returned to his home, which had been abandoned since his master and senior brothers went to Ezo and he himself was imprisoned, and left a letter to his master and senior brothers at home.
Although there has been no news of his master and senior brothers since they went to Ezo, they may come back one day in the future.
So Xuanren left a letter to his master and senior brother, telling them that he was safe and had just gone to Owari to continue making a living.
When Xuanren returned home to leave this letter, Lin asked Asai to follow Xuanren the whole time. While protecting Xuanren, she also checked whether there was any problem with the content of Xuanren's letter.
After Asai's inspection, there was nothing wrong with the letter that Xuanren left at home. It was just an ordinary letter to his family to report his safety and tell them where he was.
With Yu Lin's consent, Xuanren was able to write in the letter that he had gone to a certain place and a certain village in Owari, so that his master and senior brothers could come to Owari to find him after they saw the letter when they returned to Kyoto.
This was also Lin's little idea - if Xuanren's master and senior brother returned to Kyoto and came to Owari to find Xuanren, then they would not have to go to the vast Ezo land to look for these two people in the future.
Xuanren , Heitaro, Asai, Lin and their group were in the same car with the luggage of Ogata and his partner.
Ogata, Atachi, Lin, and Shimada were in another car.
After Ogata said goodbye to Fuma and Kondo, it was Lin's turn to say goodbye to Fuma.
After Ogata turned around and entered the carriage, he asked Shimada with a puzzled look on his face:
"Shimada, where's Makimura?"
"Makimura-senpai said he was going to say goodbye to an old friend in Kyoto." Shimada replied, "So we have to pick him up later."
Lin said goodbye to Fumo quickly.
After saying a few words to Fengma like "see you later" and "take care" and giving Fengma a gentle hug, Lin turned around and got on the carriage.
What surprised Ogata and Atachi was that the people responsible for driving the two carriages were actually Asai and Lin herself.
"Ms. Kinoshita," Amaji Chaolin asked, "You can actually drive a carriage."
"Don't treat me like some big lady who can't tell the difference between salt and sugar."
"By the way—" Ogata said at this time, "Do you have a way to get me out of Kyoto safely?"
As Ogata spoke, he raised his hand and touched his face, smiling bitterly.
"As far as I know, I am now a 'famous person' in Kyoto."
"You don't have to worry about this." Lin showed a meaningful smile on her face, "We have already prepared the corresponding means to ensure that we can take you out of Kyoto safely. Okay, stop talking nonsense! Sit tight!"
After saying that, Lin raised the reins in his hand and drove the packhorse in front of him to pull the carriage under him forward.
After Lin drove the carriage forward, Asai also started driving the carriage he was responsible for.
"By the way, Ms. Kinoshita. After leaving Kyoto, can we go somewhere first?" Ogata suddenly said.
"Where are we going?" Lin asked.
"I suddenly remembered that I still have a horse stored in a village outside Kyoto."
…
…
Fuma and Kondo stood there, looking at the two carriages that were gradually moving away from their sight.
When the two carriages were about to disappear, Kondo suddenly said to Fuma beside him:
"Master Kotaro... I have already decided on a name for my new sword style."
"Hmm? What's your own sword technique?"
"I created a new sword style based on Katori Shinto-ryu, but I still haven't figured out a name for my new sword style."
"And now I have thought about it."
"Oh? What's the name?" Fengmo asked.
Kondo turned his head and looked at Fuma beside him, then spoke word by word in a sonorous and powerful voice:
"Natural Rishin Flow!"
…
…
At this moment——
Kyoto, an ordinary street, a teahouse.
Two people were sitting side by side on the bench outside the teahouse.
A middle-aged man who was chewing a glutinous rice ball, and a very tall and strong young man.
The middle-aged man chewed the glutinous rice balls in his mouth and said casually:
"I see... Makimura-kun, are you leaving Kyoto again?"
"Yeah." The young man sitting next to the middle-aged man nodded, "I'll leave soon. I came to see you just to say goodbye to you."
"When are you planning to return to Kyoto next time?" the middle-aged man asked.
"I don't know." The young man answered without hesitation, "Anyway - I probably won't be returning to Kyoto for a long time in the future."
"Then - I wish you good luck in your military career."
"Thank you." The young man smiled.
This middle-aged man is none other than Jinraku, who has the dual identities of Ukiyo-e painter and tattoo artist and is known by the nickname "Girakusai".
And this young man was naturally Mucun.
The old friend in Kyoto that Makimura and Shimada were talking about who needed to be visited specially to say goodbye was Kinraku.
After casually throwing aside the bamboo stick that no longer contained any glutinous rice balls, Jinle said softly:
"I have buried Junroku Kunieda's body for you in the Kōenji Temple in the northwest of Kyoto."
"Thank you very much."
"I don't understand one thing - why must Kunieda's body be buried in Kōenji?"
"Because... there is a girl named Ayo who is buried in Guangyuan Temple."
"Ayodo..." Chikaraku's eyes flashed with memories, "Kunieda-kun's wife... I see."
After saying that, Jinle took a deep breath and looked at the busy street ahead.
"I feel like this picture is somewhat familiar." Jinle's face flashed a meaningful smile, "It's exactly the same as it was two years ago."
"Yeah..." The corners of Mucun's mouth curled up slightly at this time, "If you say it's a coincidence... this seems too much of a coincidence."
Two years ago, because of his utter disappointment with the samurai, Makimura decided not to work in Kyoto anymore. Before leaving Kyoto, he only said goodbye to Chikagura.
Sitting on the bench outside the tea house in the same way.
The look of reminiscence in Jinle's eyes gradually became more intense.
"Makino-kun. When you came to say goodbye to me two years ago, you told me: I was wrong. I shouldn't have tattooed a red dragon on your back."
"You said you were just an ordinary person who ran away to avoid disappointment after discovering that your fantasy didn't match reality. You are not worthy of the red dragon I tattooed on you."
"Did I say something like this two years ago..." Makura smiled bitterly.
"You should remember what you said before, right?" Jinle cast a teasing look at Mucun.
"Haha, I can only vaguely remember it."
"When I heard what you said, I told you: I couldn't have been wrong." Jinle turned his gaze back to the busy street in front of him, "But you seemed to disagree with what I said at that time."
"I still don't agree with it now," Mucun added suddenly.
Jinle let out a few low laughs.
"Makimura-kun, do you know why I gave Kunieda-kun a black dragon tattoo and gave you a red dragon?"
"Kunieda-kun has a very extreme personality."
"If he stays on the right path, he is a great man who can be trusted."
"But if he goes down the wrong path, he will become a terrible man."
"He is also a man of great courage and means."
"If he had been born in the turbulent times of the Warring States Period, with his courage and means, he would have most likely become a great hero like Toyotomi Hideyoshi."
"So I tattooed a black dragon on his back, symbolizing 'great destructive power'."
"Although you and Kunieda-kun are as close as brothers, your personality is completely different from Kunieda's."
"You have an indomitable heart."
"No matter what happens, you will not change and will not forget your original intention."
"This kind of power is a very terrifying and precious power."
"There are not many people like you in this world."
"So I tattooed a red dragon on your back, symbolizing 'unyielding and unswerving'."
"I can't be wrong."
"Now it seems - it is true."
At this point, Jinle crossed his arms, smiled, and asked Mucun a question that seemed to have a hidden meaning:
"Muraki-kun, let me ask you: you have worked so hard to save so many people in Kyoto, but in the end, the people of Kyoto don't even know who you are, and you yourself didn't get any reward. You got no fame, and no profit. Don't you feel very unwilling or unhappy?"
In response to the question raised by Jinle, Mucun just smiled slightly.
He just smiled and didn't give any answer.
After smiling and being silent for a while, Mucun slowly stood up.
"It's almost time. Lord Jinle, I should leave . My companions should be waiting for me now."
"Hmm." Jinle picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip of the tea in the cup. "Makimura-kun, I wish you good luck in martial arts. If you have time to return to Kyoto, you are welcome to come and see me anytime. I can touch up the tattoo on your back for free."
"Yes." Makimura nodded gently, "Master Jinle, I also wish your business will prosper. May your paintings sell better and better."
After saying that, Mucun walked onto the busy street without any hesitation.
Mucun slowly left the teahouse where he had just talked with Jinle, and suddenly stopped when Jinle was no longer visible.
Mucun just stood in the middle of the street, looking at everything around him with interest.
To his right is a kimono shop that mainly sells women's kimonos.
The owner of this kimono shop seems to have quite a business sense.
The owner of this kimono shop set up a live model at the door of the shop - a young woman wearing a kimono with red as the main color, with her arms open and turning her body from time to time, so that passers-by can see the kimono on her body clearly and what effect the kimono has when worn on the body.
I don't know whether the person who acts as a model is specially hired by the store owner or a family member of the store owner.
Several girls were successfully attracted by the kimono worn by the model. They circled around the model, looked up and down at the model's clothes, and exclaimed from time to time.
Of course, this model not only attracted women, but also men - several men of different ages were also staring at this fairly good-looking model.
Although he tried his best to hide it, a faint lustful light still leaked out from his pupils.
On the left side of the pastoral village is a grocery store.
There was a big flag at the door of this grocery store, with a line of big words written on the flag - Barbarian Goods Inside.
People who can afford to consume goods from Western countries are generally literate.
And the stores that have the channels to purchase these Western products are not ordinary stores.
This grocery store is extremely beautifully decorated, the kind of store that would intimidate people from poor families and make them feel unworthy of entering.
After Makimura turned his attention to the grocery store, he happened to see a man dressed as a samurai coming out of the grocery store.
The warrior has a big smile on his face, holding two beautiful glass beads in his hands - he must be planning to give these two glass beads to someone as a gift.
In this era, beautiful glass beads are very suitable to be given as gifts.
Everything around me looks so ordinary.
Everyone in Kyoto is doing their own thing and living an ordinary life as usual.
Looking at the extremely ordinary scene around him, Mucun's face first showed a nostalgic expression, and then turned into a calm smile.
It's a sunny day today.
The sky in Kyoto is extremely blue today and the sun is shining brightly.
He smiled, turned and left, rejoining the crowd on the street and walking slowly towards the end of the street.
Only a tall figure was left.
…
Volume 5 "The Summer Battle in Kyoto"——The End!
The legend of the executioner and the dragon in Kyoto - the end!
…
Please look forward to Volume 6, "Edo Castle Test Match"!
postscript
After the huge scandal of the "Nijo Castle Attack", Toda Tadahiro, the Kyoto Shogun who undoubtedly bore the main responsibility, was forced to confine himself at home, awaiting punishment from the shogunate.
Knowing that he would not escape severe punishment, Toda Tadakuni committed suicide by disembowelment at home during his confinement.
Because Toda Tadahiro had cut open his own stomach beautifully, the shogunate did not investigate Toda's dereliction of duty any further.
It is said that when the news of Toda Tadahiro's suicide spread, many citizens of Kyoto - especially those living in the burned area, shouted out in joy, and some even cried with joy, and were genuinely excited that Toda Tadahiro had received retribution.
After Toda's death, the shogunate ordered that Ota Sukea, the magistrate of temples and shrines, take over the position of Kyoto Shoshidai.
As the second-in-command of Kyoto, Kamiyama also has to take some responsibility for the "Nijo Castle Attack Incident."
Because Kamiyama didn't need to bear too much responsibility, and after the "Nijo Castle Attack", Kamiyama made a contribution of "catching a group of thieves who were planning to destroy Kyoto". Therefore, in the end, the punishment Kamiyama received was just a trivial punishment of deducting his salary for the next three months.
Toda Tadahiro committed suicide, and the "Toda faction" headed by Kyoto's top boss Abe Risori immediately fell apart.
Kamiyama showed no mercy to Abe Riri and his gang, who had caused him a lot of trouble in the past and now had no backing.
Abe Riri also knew that if she didn't think of a solution, she would definitely be killed by Kamiyama, so she actively sought to survive.
It’s a pity that in terms of means, he is no match for Shenshan.
Under Kamiyama's series of plans and arrangements, Kamiyama obtained a lot of evidence that Abe Rikki had been using a large number of Eta to test his swords for many years, as well as other scandals of Abe Rikki.
As a result, Abe Riri was demoted to Nara, and was demoted from a prestigious Kyoto dabancho to an ordinary Nara tongshin.
Not long after Abe Riri was demoted to Nara, he was assassinated by some of his former enemies who dared not touch him because he had the support of Toda.
About half a year after the Nijo Castle Attack, the Eta Riot occurred in Kyoto.
For some unknown reason, after the "Nijo Castle Attack Incident", the Eta in Kyoto became no longer as honest as before.
Finally, half a year later, a large-scale riot broke out.
Although the riot was quickly suppressed, the momentum of the riot successfully frightened the Kyoto Prefecture. After the riot was quelled, the Kyoto Prefecture began to treat the Eta people in a more gentle manner.
