Chapter 795 Assassination of the Shogunate Minister (Ten Updates)
"Abe Tadaaki is simply an idiot. He wants to change the shogunate. How long has the shogunate been established? I think he is too cowardly! As long as we show the spirit of the samurai and bloodbath the Chinese people to open schools, newspaper offices and banks in our Edo city , will definitely be able to force them to withdraw from our Dongpu!" A samurai in the tavern slapped the table and shouted.

"Itakura Shigemasao, our samurai must defeat the enemy in an upright manner. Although I also oppose Abe Tadaaki, bloodbath of civilians is not our samurai's behavior." Matsudaira Nobuzuna said.

"They are pressing harder and harder. We still have to talk to them about Bushido spirit. I think we must teach them a bloody lesson!" Itakura Shigemasa said.

"You're drunk, it's late at night, I think we'd better go back." Matsudaira Nobutsuna looked at the moonlight and said to Itakura Shigemasa.

"You go first, I'll continue drinking!" Itakura Shigemasa said drunkenly.

Matsudaira Nobutsuna saw that it was getting late, and Itakura Shigemasa still had no intention of leaving, so he said to him, "Then I'll go first."

Nobuzuna Matsudaira left the tavern first.Itakura Shigemasa, who was staying in the tavern, drank several cups of white wine in succession before getting up staggeringly.

"What Kyushu Army, those cowards are afraid of them, to defeat them, you must use terrifying means..." Itakura Shigemasao still yelled inarticulately.

"General, do you need me to take you back?" The owner of the tavern was familiar with Shigemasa Itakura, and asked when he saw Shigemasa Itakura was about to leave.

"Get out, don't... don't underestimate me!" Shigemasa Itakura left the tavern, because the weather was cold, even the breath in his breath was white mist.

In the dark street, the silence was unusual, only a watchman was holding a dilapidated lantern, and the beat wood made a loud sound.

Itakura Shigemashi felt the coolness of the night, and his body shivered.

"You, come here!" Itakura Shigemasa said while supporting the stone wall, pointing at the watchman.

The watchman walked over with a blank expression, the beater in his hand was still beating rhythmically, and the weak candlelight could not illuminate his face.

"Give me the lantern!" Shigemasa Itakura snatched the lantern from the watchman's hand.

After Itakura Shigesho took away the lantern, he was about to leave staggeringly.

Suddenly, a hand was stretched out from the darkness to cover his mouth, and a sharp dagger pierced his chest!

"Woo..." Itakura Shigemasa choked in pain, his eyes were protruding, and he wanted to struggle hard, but at this time, two hands stretched out in the darkness, holding his hands and feet respectively.

Itakura Shigemasa's struggle had no effect, his eyes gradually lost their spirit, and the lantern in his hand fell to the ground.

The watchman picked up the lantern on the ground, continued to beat on the beat wood, and patrolled other streets...

Itakura Shigemasaki's cold body was found the next day, and he died after being stabbed seven times.

The general of the shogunate was killed. This incident caused a sensation in the entire Edo Castle, causing a sliver of haze to appear over the Edo Castle!
Matsudaira Nobuzuna led the samurai to the scene as soon as they learned of Itakura Shigesho's assassination.

He was horrified when he saw Shigemasa Itakura lying on the ground with protruding eyes.It is very likely that he was one of the few people who saw Shigemasa Itakura last.

"When did he leave the tavern yesterday? Are you a murderer?" Matsudaira Nobutsuna found the owner of the tavern.

"General, you are clear, how could I be a murderer? Itakura-kun left about half an hour after you left, General. Itakura-kun was still alive when he left the tavern!" The owner of the tavern shouted anxiously.

Matsudaira Nobuzuna said to the samurai on the left and right: "He may be the murderer, take him down and imprison him first!"

"I'm innocent!" the bar owner shouted and was subdued by the samurai.

Matsudaira Nobutsuna squatted on the ground, trying to get evidence from Itakura Shigemasa's body and surroundings.

He and Shigemasa Itakura have known each other for many years, so it is almost impossible for him to be the murderer, but if the murderer cannot be found, it is okay to let him take the blame.

"Who on earth is using this means of assassination? Could it be the Kyushu Army?" Matsudaira Nobutsuna couldn't find the murder weapon or other evidence, so he couldn't help but point the finger at the Kyushu Army, which was incompatible with the shogunate.

Abe Zhongqiu also came with the samurai, and saw Matsudaira Nobuzuna who was investigating, and Itakura Shigemasa who fell to the ground.

"Did you find anything?" Abe Tadaaki said solemnly.

This incident has already shocked Edo Castle, and the shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu was furious.This is the first time a shogunate minister has been assassinated. Once such a thing happens, it will definitely not be the last!
Even if one of Tadaaki Abe and Nobuzuna Matsudaira is a reformist and the other is a main combatant, it does not prevent their interests from being tied together.After the minister was assassinated, all the ministers of the shogunate were walking on eggshells.

"Nothing has been found, but it is very likely that the Kyushu Army adopted terrorist methods. They wanted to disrupt the law and order of Edo Castle, so that the residents of the city begged their troops to enter the city, so as to achieve the sinister goal of controlling Edo Castle!" Matsudaira Nobuna said solemnly.

"No, I don't think they will use such inferior methods to achieve their goals. With their military strength, it is fine to directly attack the city if they want to. Even if they use assassination methods, they will bloodbath us on a large scale overnight, and then Now the soldiers are approaching the city. So I don't think the murderer will be the Kyushu Army." Abe Zhongqiu looked at Itakura Shigemasa's injuries.

"If it wasn't for the Kyushu Army that was against us, what other forces might be able to openly commit crimes in our Edo City? Their methods are too ruthless, and they haven't left any traces." Matsudaira Nobuzuna said, "We must We must retaliate with an eye and use the same method to assassinate their important officials in Japan, so that they will know the consequences of our anger!"

"In addition to the Kyushu Army, there is another force that hates our shogunate. Don't forget, there is also a Huaxia Society composed of radicals. We have arrested many members of the Huaxia Society before, and they may suppress us. I hate it to the bone, so I used more radical methods to assassinate our officials!" Abe Tadaaki couldn't find any evidence from Itakura Shigemasa, and could only deduce the murderer's origin based on who could benefit from this incident.

"If they are members of the Huaxia Society, I will definitely find them and kill them all!" Nobutsuna Matsudaira was annoyed, "Our shogunate must also adopt terrorist measures to deter those who are about to move in the dark!"

Abe Tadaaki suddenly caught a glimpse of two drops of solidified wax oil beside Itakura Shigemasa, he put the wax oil on the tip of his nose and smelled it, thoughtfully.
