Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 791

At this time, Wei Wu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.

"Okay, it's almost time to take action. Inukai, tell me the addresses of those eight Japanese pirate craftsmen."

Upon hearing Wei Wu's order, the dog-raising bastard quickly picked up the list and read out the addresses one by one.

Every time he read out a name, Wei Wu would assign the address to a team member, and soon, eight craftsmen were arranged.

"According to the plan I laid out earlier, once you've secured your target, you'll meet me at the Metallurgical Workshop. Do you understand?"

The so-called metallurgical workshop is the workshop used by the Japanese pirates to manufacture artillery. This is the last step of Wei Wu's plan.

After hearing Wei Wu's words, everyone responded in unison:

"Understood, Master!"

"Okay, let's get started!"

Following Wei Wu's order, the members of the Wuchang Squad immediately took action and each went to complete their own tasks.

At the same time, after a period of fermentation, the riots in Kabukicho also attracted the attention of the shogunate.

In a luxurious mansion in Heian-kyo, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was kneeling in the room with a gloomy face.

He had just listened to the report from his subordinates and knew what happened in Kabukicho, but this was also the reason for his dissatisfaction.

"So, you're bothering me over such a small matter?"

In Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's view, it was just some people causing trouble in Kabukicho, and such a small matter could be dealt with casually.

You have to know that Kabukicho is just a small industry, and he wouldn't feel any pain even if it was smashed by someone.

Not to mention that those who caused trouble in Kabukicho have been taken away by Hosokawa Sawato and must have been punished.

But this incompetent loser in front of me came here in the middle of the night to disturb my rest just because of such a small matter.

At this moment, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu had already made up his mind that if the person in front of him could not give him a perfect explanation.

Then he will prepare to commit seppuku to apologize!

Just as Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was thinking this, the man kneeling in front of him spoke again:

"No, General. We found two bodies in Kabukicho. One was the madam and the other was a servant of the Hosokawa family."

"But these two individuals were not present during the riot, and both bodies were hidden."

"And the courtesan who was meeting a client for the first time today was also taken away. We suspect this was a premeditated targeting."

Although Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was angry, he was not a fool. If it was just a riot, he would not care too much.

After all, Kabukicho is a place for entertainment, so it is normal for one or two drunkards to cause trouble occasionally.

However, if this was a premeditated and planned targeting, then the meaning behind it would be completely different.

So, after this servant finished speaking, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's expression immediately became much more serious.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu lowered his head, wondering who was behind this. After a long while, he raised his head and asked:

"Where's Hosokawa Sawato? Didn't he take those people away? Call him back to see me."

"Reporting to the General, we can't find Lord Hosokawa!"

The servant responded timidly, then quickly continued to explain:

"I sent someone to Lord Hosokawa's house, but his family told us that Lord Hosokawa has not returned since he left."

"Lord Hosokawa hasn't been to Kabukicho either. We even sent people to the torture chamber and the jail, but they couldn't find him."

"I suspect something may have happened to Lord Hosokawa, so I had to disturb the general's rest to report this to you."

After hearing the servant's explanation, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's eyelids drooped slightly and his eyes immediately became solemn.

Hosokawa Sawato was the governor of his shogunate, and even the emperor's family in Heian-kyo did not dare to touch him easily.

After all, he represented the Muromachi shogunate, and anyone who dared to touch Hosokawa Sawato would be regarded as challenging the shogunate and him, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

This was very clear to both the powerful people in Sakyo and the unruly people and wandering samurai in Ukyo.

Nowadays, there are people who are so bold as to tamper with Tai Sui, so the identities of these people must be extraordinary.

Because a war was going on on the front line, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu also wondered whether these troublemakers were spies sent by the Ming Dynasty.

However, like Hosokawa Sawato, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu did not associate this incident with artillery.

He just felt that if these people were Ming spies, they must be trying to extract information from Hosokawa Sawa.

Because of Miyagawa Tomohisa's defeat at Hidaka Castle, the shogunate did make the latest deployments and arrangements against the Ming army.

Once these military intelligence are sent to the Ming army by the Ming spies, all the arrangements made during this period will be in vain.

He lowered his head and pondered for a long time. When Ashikaga Yoshimitsu raised his head again, his eyes were full of murderous intent.

"Pass on my order. Have all the Kyoto soshidai go out and search the entire city to find Hosokawa Sawato and those causing trouble!"

"Also, notify the Left Guard and the Right Guard that they do not need to guard the Imperial City and are to fully cooperate with the Kyoto Police in the city-wide search."

"We absolutely cannot let these people leave Heian-kyō!!"

Hearing Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's order, the servant did not dare to hesitate. He quickly responded and got up to leave.

The so-called Kyoto Soshidai had functions similar to those of the Ming Dynasty's Five Cities Military Affairs Division, and was specifically responsible for managing Kyoto's public security and defense.

However, this department has nothing to do with the emperor. It is staffed by trusted samurai appointed by the Ashikaga family, that is, the shogunate.

The Left Guard and the Right Guard are similar to the Imperial Guard, and are specifically responsible for the core defense of the imperial city.

Logically speaking, this is the imperial guard directly under the emperor and should not be mobilized by the shogunate, but now the royal family is not as powerful as the shogunate!

At the same time, the shogunate was mobilizing a large number of troops and preparing to search the entire city.

On the other side, Wei Wu and his group had already stopped in front of a large house that was shining with light.

However, even though Wei Wu was standing outside the door, he could still hear the faint sounds coming from inside that made one know what was going on at once.

At this moment, Wei San, who was standing behind him, spoke:

"Master, this house is about three yards in size. All the craftsmen who were kidnapped by the Japanese pirates live in it."

"Besides them, there were many women inside who were having fun with them. The scene was even more spectacular than Kabukicho in Saga..."
