I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Chapter 156: Reply from the Shogunate

Latest URL: "No."

Hasegawa’s words just fell, and he answered easily without thinking.

"I won't regret it."

"If I go back to the past once, even if I know that I will become a prisoner in the future, I will not hesitate to use my sword to kill the dog thief in the source of Songping."

The tone of Ogata's words was not high.

But he said it categorically without any hesitation.

Hasegawa stared directly at Ogata.

I don't know if it was Ogata's illusion. He always felt that Hasegawa's expressionless face had a few more smiles at this time.

"...Ogata Ichitosai. I don't actually hate you."

"About the former lord of the Hirose clan, Matsuhira Genouchi... Although I have lived in Edo for a long time, I have also heard of some of his deeds."

"You killed this beast for the people of the Hirose clan... To be honest, I admire you very much."

Speaking of this, Hasegawa seemed to have some bad memories, his face a little heavier.

"I...If only I could have the courage and courage like you..."

"From the point of view of the shogunate and Bushido, you are an unpardonable traitor who committed the crime of killing kings."

"But from the perspective of the common people and the righteous world, you are a hero worthy of respect."

"If I can, I don't actually want to catch you."

"But... I'm sorry. We are our own masters, and we each seek our own affairs."

"How can I say that I am also a minister, the chief officer of Huo Fu Thieves Reform."

"So... sorry."

"Oniheira, don't have to apologize to me." Ogata shrugged, "I understand you. So you don't have to apologize to me, and you don't have to feel any guilt."

"When I decided to kill the dog thief in the source of Songping, I was mentally prepared for such a day."

Having said that, Ogata leaned back at will, leaning against the cold, damp brick wall behind him in a very comfortable position.

"Then—Kihei. What is the punishment I'm about to bear? Should I ask Zan directly on the spot, or be taken back to Edo to ask Zan again."

"If you can choose, I want to choose the latter."

"Before I die, I would like to see what Edo is like as the most prosperous town in Japan."

"I will try my best to help you get this treatment."

After leaving this sentence in a half-joking tone, Hasegawa straightened his body leaning on the wall behind him, then turned and left.

"Hurry up and eat, Ogata Ichitosai. I will see you later when I have time."

"Hey! Wait a minute! I still have some questions I want to ask you!"

Ogata still has many questions to ask Hasegawa, such as: Has Mamiya been caught by you.

But Hasegawa just waved his hand.

"When I see you again next time, I will answer your questions slowly."

...

...

Ogata didn't know and didn't care where he was locked up now.

I don't know if it was because of the special care of Hasegawa, Ogata has three meals a day, and each meal is quite rich.

Although the food was good, life was very boring.

After all, in prison, there is nothing to do except eat and sleep.

Ogata's two sabers were naturally not by his side.

Sakurahara’s certificate, cheats, and his purse—his three gadgets, all of which were all confiscated by the officials of the fire payment thieves.

Ogata, who has nothing to do, now the only way to pass the time is to keep practicing "Gen's Breath"...

Although Hasegawa said that he would come to see him when he was free, Ogata has never seen Hasegawa since that time.

In this way, more than a month has passed...

...

...

Tatsuno-fan, in the temporary residence of the Huofu Thief-

Hasegawa is now in his room, flipping through a book.

And this book is one of the few luggages found from Ogata.

After flipping through it several times, Hasegawa sighed.

"No... Still can't understand... What kind of broken book is this..."

For more than a month, Hasegawa would read this book whenever he was free.

As a swordsman, he is naturally very interested in this book that is a secret book of swordsmanship.

But in the past month or so, no matter how many times Hasegawa picked up the book, he would put it down reluctantly in the end how many times.

No matter how many times I read it, Hasegawa couldn't understand what was written on it.

This has made Hasegawa suspect more than once-this may not be a swordsmanship cheat at all, but just a graffiti drawn by someone who is bored.

Although they have successfully captured "Liuguang Hachiman" and "Executioner Ichitosai", Hasegawa's true goal of their trip-"Buddha Enemy" has not been found.

Therefore, after catching the two of Mamiya and Ogata, Hasegawa still led the subordinates to stay in the Tatsuno clan and continued to pursue the traces of the "Buddha Enemy".

However-this tracking for more than a month has yielded nothing.

The "Buddha Enemy" might have left the Tatsuno Domain-even though he didn't want to face it, Hasegawa had to admit that it might have been a cruel reality.

The reason why Hasegawa led his subordinates to stay in the Tatsuno clan was to continue pursuing the "enemy of Buddha" on the one hand.

On the other hand, the reason is to wait for a reply from Edo.

Regarding... how to deal with the reply from Ogata and Mamiya.

In the past, Hasegawa certainly didn't need to be so troublesome, and he had to send a message to Edo, asking for instructions from the shogunate.

But now, with the special situation on Kii’s side, the current Hasegawa has to inform the shogunate after catching serious criminals such as Ogata and Mamiya, and let the shogunate decide the disposal plan. .

Before the shogunate's response arrived, Hasegawa had to put Ogata and Mamiya in prison.

Hasegawa just closed the book in his hand and put it back on the table in front of him. Suddenly Imai’s exhilarating shout came from outside the room:

"Master Hasegawa! The messenger from the shogunate just arrived with a reply letter!"

Hearing these words from Imai~www.wuxiahere.com~ Hasegawa hurriedly said:

"Bring your reply!"

"Yes!"

The paper sliding door was unceremoniously opened by Imai.

Imai, with a beaming face, walked quickly into the room with the rolled scroll, and then handed the scroll to Hasegawa.

After receiving the scroll from Imai and confirming that there was no sign of the scroll being opened, Hasegawa hurriedly loosened the ropes that bound the scroll, and then hurriedly unrolled the scroll.

I scanned every word written on the scroll with ten lines.

As Hasegawa's gaze moved quickly over the words on the scroll, Hasegawa's expression became a little more complicated.
