Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 798 I Stuck a Hornet's Nest (Third Watch)

"Miss, a group of young officials from the household department have been arrested by the shogunate!" Kyushu Bank's Tokyo branch immediately received the news that Da Yuer and others were arrested by the Tokugawa shogunate. The president who was checking the account books was so frightened that the brush in his hand fall to the ground.

The shogunate ate the guts of the ambitious leopard?Dare to arrest people from our household department? !
"What's the matter?"

"I heard that Tadaki Sakai wanted to kidnap the young lady by force, and then the young officials from the household department beat him up. Now our people have been imprisoned by the shogunate in the mansion of Matsudaira Nobuzuna."

"Quick, let's go to the General's Mansion!" The governor didn't care about checking where he was, and hurriedly led a few of his men straight to the mansion where Matsudaira Nobuzuna was.

"Master, the students heard that the shogunate arrested several innocent Chinese people." After returning to Dongying, Chengyi Tanaka of the Huaxia Association returned to Tokyo Academy and said to the dean Huang Zongxi.

Huang Zongxi listened to Tanaka Chengichi's description of what happened in the city. Although he didn't know the identity of Dayuer and the others, Chu Yun arranged for him to teach at the Tokyo Academy in order to spread Han culture in Edo City.Now I heard that some compatriots were arrested by the shogunate in Edo Castle, so I immediately took the teacher from the Tokyo Academy to put pressure on the shogunate.

Tanaka Chengyi followed Huang Zongxi, feeling ecstatic in his heart.He also doesn't know the identities of Dayuer and others, but if the Tokugawa shogunate arrests the Huaxia people, it is likely to cause conflicts between the shogunate and the Kyushu army. At that time, Chu Yun may soon pass his "Departure from Barbarians" Enter China" plan.

Zheng Zhilong, who was far away in Yokohama Port, also received the news that Da Yuer and others were arrested by the shogunate. After a moment of silence, he called the messenger: "Order the formations of Daqi and Dachu moored in Yokohama Port to prepare sail."

"My lord, which island are you going to go to for exercises this time?" The messenger suddenly heard that he was going to go to sea, and he was a little surprised.

"Go around Edo Castle!"

Matsudaira Nobuzuna and Sakai Tadakatsu did not expect that they had already stabbed a hornet's nest, and they wanted to interrogate Dayuer and others.Abe Tadaaki, who was still looking for the murderer, knew that after the hardliner Matsudaira Nobutsuna had captured the Huaxia people, he ignored the assassination of Itakura Shigemasa and came to Matsudaira Nobuzuna's mansion without stopping.

Nobuzuna Matsudaira is a person who advocates using tough methods to fight against the Kyushu Army, so he has a close relationship with the more radical Itakura Shigemasa, and he doesn't think there is any problem in arresting a few Chinese people.Although Tadakatsu Sakai of the revolutionary faction is usually calm, but this time it was his own brother who was beaten half to death, and he also became manic.

Only Tadaki Abe, who stayed out of the matter, was able to deal with things calmly.

"Nobuzuna Matsudaira, are you crazy?! You want to arrest the Chinese people at this sensitive moment, do you know how much trouble it will bring us!" Tadaaki Abe came to Nobutsuna Matsudaira's mansion, not yet When he saw Matsudaira Nobutsuna, he yelled at him.

He is a person with less seniority than Sakai Tadakatsu and Matsudaira Nobugen, and he is busy preparing for reform, and also has to track down the murderer who assassinated Itakura Shigemasao. Is it easy for him?

It turned out to be them? !Abe Tadaaki saw several Chinese people arrested by Matsudaira Nobutsuna, and his heart was shocked. Not long ago, he passed them by on the street!

Sakai Zhongsheng's face was as heavy as water. When he saw these prisoners, he immediately thought of the few Chinese young people who had contact with Zheng Zhilong.The origins of these people are definitely not simple!
Originally, Sakai Tadakatsu wanted to arrange people to secretly inquire about the other party's details, but now it is almost unnecessary, and the two sides have already begun to confront each other head-on!
"What are your identities? People from the Kyushu Army? Huaxia businessmen?" Matsudaira Nobutsuna asked.

"No comment."

"What did you do in Edo Castle?"

"No comment."

Da Yuer replied coldly.The men behind her who beat up Tadaki Sakai all raised their heads and held their chests high. No matter whether the other party was unreasonable, or the other party was afraid of the power of the Kyushu Army, they absolutely did not dare to torture them.

"I can't ask anything like this! Why don't I use torture to torture them, and they will know everything!" A bannerman recommended himself, but his eyes kept wandering around Da Yu'er.

"Baga!" Abe Zhongqiu tied the banner and slapped it, "You can't use torture until you find out their origin!"

Hatake suffered pain and did not dare to disobey Tadaki Abe, who was of a higher rank, so he had to retreat while covering his red and swollen cheeks. .

Sakai Tadakatsu, as an important minister of the Tokugawa family, is naturally very deep in the city. After knowing that Dayuer and the others had a difficult background, he quickly suppressed his anger because Sakai Tadaki was seriously injured: "I know that you suddenly appeared in Dongying, There is definitely something hidden. If it is just an ordinary Chinese merchant's child, it will definitely not wander around when our samurai search the whole city. As well as your self-confidence, I don't feel any fear from you at all."

"No comment."

"Our shogunate has already noticed your existence and will watch your every move. Don't think that the people in our shogunate are all blind and deaf. Our tentacles are far stronger than you think."

"No comment."

……

No matter how Sakai Tadakatsu used words to attack Dayuer's psychological defense line, Dayuer only had one sentence, which made Sakai Tadakatsu hold back internal injuries.

"Here comes the tea!" Tadakatsu Sakai talked a lot, but it didn't work even if his mouth was dry.

Several servants hurriedly brought the tea.

"It's obvious that they will take the tough and not the soft. It's useless for you to ask questions like this." The hardliner Matsudaira Nobutsuna said to Tadakatsu Sakai.

"Do you think I don't know? Especially if there is a woman among them, if torture can be used, I have a thousand ways to get her to confess. But it is very likely that they are behind the Kyushu Army, and torture is to openly tear the face off with the Kyushu Army , Afterwards they pursued it and we couldn't explain it!" Said Tadakatsu Sakai.

The three of them were frowning at the thought that torture could not be used.Being able to use punishment is completely different from not being able to use punishment.Except for those who bear the hatred of the country and the family, almost no one can not confess everything in the face of torture, especially just asking Da Yuer and the others to reveal their identities, it is not considered a death or life.

At this time, the samurai guarding in front of the mansion came in to report: "Several generals, people from Tokyo Academy, Kyushu Bank, and Kyushu Newspaper are outside asking for the release of several people arrested by us!"

Tadaki Abe, Nobuzuna Matsudaira, and Tadakatsu Sakai looked at each other in blank dismay. Unexpectedly, shortly after the arrest of these Chinese people, the three forces backed by the Kyushu Army immediately jumped out.
