Edo Traveler

Vol 2 Chapter 20: Test of Huashan is difficult

   Fortunately, Chuemon and Heizo have no skills, it doesn't mean that others have no skills. After all, Donghai Street is the most important street between Westland and Kanto-Edo. People are constantly walking day and night, and there are always people eager to cross the river.

  Some people will ask why they don’t travel by sea by boat. This question is more metaphysical, and people still seem to feel that they are down-to-earth and the most stable. It’s just a matter of taking a boat across the river. It’s too risky to go to sea, and it’s definitely not a good way until the early twentieth century.

   There is no boat on the Oi River, but when it comes to the depth of the water, even if the water rises now, the depth may be more than two meters, which is not completely impossible to swim. It's just that the current is big and fast, and pedestrians who are not familiar with the water are naturally unable to pass.

   A dozen men stood on the shore, attracting pedestrians on the left and right, asking if they needed to cross the river. Someone seemed to know something and paid the money without hesitation. Two men came out of the team and took out a wooden stick with a cloth bag that looked like a hammock tied to the stick, and let the paying man sit in.

   Then the two men stepped on the water so easily and sent the people to the other side smoothly. There was a sensation on the shore, and some people went into the water to try to tread the water. Before they walked out ten meters, the water was almost waistless, and the water was so strong that no one could stand firm. The man dared not go anymore, so he had to return.

   The dozen or so men guarding the river channel laughed loudly, saying that those who have the courage to seek death will continue to try!

An old trader on the side sighed and said these "powerful" (it's called this name, and there is still this industry in Japan now. The price of lifting people to the kind of Shenshan Taisha or deep valley is 300,000 to 500,000. Yen.) I count on earning one vote every year.

   Their ability is actually to be familiar with the water conditions of the Oigawa River, and they know where the river is higher to cross. Just like those trackers on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, they are almost cliffs in the eyes of ordinary people, but those trackers can know where they can cross the river by pulling the fibers.

   is such a truth, it is simple to say, but it is extremely difficult to do.

   "Let's go, we can't wait!" Heizo greeted Chungemon after hearing the words of the old merchant.

   "How much does it cost to cross the river?" Chuemon doesn't know how they can't afford it.

   "What are the two?" The strong guard guarding the river looked at the two men dressed as samurai, and looked up and down.

   "The two of me are under the command of Edo Town to go to the Mikawa Tahara Clan on official business, how?" Hei San Ryo clearly identified himself.

   "Since you are the samurai master, you have to give five hundred dollars a person!"

   "You might as well..." The price is too high. An ordinary craftsman can only earn one or two hundred dollars for a day.

   "If the lord of the feudal lord comes down, it will be two or two." It is so powerful that it is a bachelor, and when he sees people, he orders food and collects money according to his status.

   clearly marked the price, willing to fight and suffer, do you a samurai master dare to drew his sword and chop me on the streets of Donghai? Although I will die, you will definitely be sentenced to an amputated belly, Lord Samurai. It depends on whether you are willing to change it or not, but I have never loved it.

   "It's been!" Ping Sanyi looked at this person, too lazy to argue, and gave money to cross the river.

This finally rushed to the Mikawa Tahara Clan within the time limit. It was said that it was a feudal clan. There was not even a castle. In a sense, Tahara Jinya could not be called vast, and it was no different from a large house in Edo Castle. How many. Tianyuan Fan is a small fan, and all his retainers add up to only more than forty people.

Miyake, the lord of the    domain, resides in Edo and greets the left-behind family elders. Knowing that Chuemon Heizo had come to verify the death of Watanabe Kasayama, he took the person to the home of the feudal lord Jiro Tomatsuoka. Watanabe Huashan has been dead for 20 days. Of course, it is impossible to put him on the bed. The weather is hot. If this person is left for 20 days, the scene is unimaginable.

   Therefore, Watanabe Kasayama was put into a large wine tank immediately after his death. The entire wine tank was filled with lime. As for the wine tank, it was immediately buried under the shady warehouse to prevent serious decay of the remains.

   Even so, when the wine tank was opened, because the weather was really hot in summer, the stench was still disgusting. Chuemon barely suppressed the urge to vomit, and, accompanied by Watanabe Kasayama's mother, wife, son, and disciple, broke the seal on the jar.

As soon as    broke open, the stench hit Chuemon's nasal cavity, and even Chuemon's pores felt full of stench. Ping San even ran away, vomiting under a big tree in the distance.

   There is no way, Chuemon can only take out a handkerchief, cover his nose, and order the vassal of the Tahara Clan to lift the body out of the tank. Probably because of the lime, although the body has been decayed, it is not so exaggerated. A large amount of water in the remains was adsorbed by lime, and the shady underground of the warehouse also prevented corruption to a certain extent.

   took out the portrait book and compared it briefly. Chuemon roughly confirmed that the deceased was Watanabe Kazan. UU read www.uukanshu.com and then looked at the stiff body. There was a cut in the abdomen, and the wound in the throat was stabbed by a sharp object, which was in line with the suicide situation reported at the time.

   The feudal lords and family members in the field cried together at this time. Japan is also an Eastern society that pays attention to entering the land for security. People are not allowed to enter the land after 20 days, and even the convergence is not allowed. To be honest, it is really miserable. Chuemon knew that it was useless to say anything. He came on behalf of the shogunate, so he was a wicked person no matter what.

   After allowing the family to converge, Tademon immediately wrote the letter, and then signed the peace trip. The left-behind family elder of the Tianyuan clan also came up to sign the monogram, expressing his approval. This "farce" that showed a little disrespect to the deceased was considered to be the end, and it was fortunate that there were no twists and turns.

Of course, Chuemon also needs to search Watanabe Kasayama’s residence. This old man is a "political prisoner" who was convicted for his speech. Then his books, books, etc., need to be checked one by one, and all are packed and brought to him. Go to Edo.

   Watanabe Kasayama’s residence is very simple, or he doesn’t have the money to make gorgeous decorations. The only thing that can be called much is his collection of books and manuscripts. As well as the drawings left during the two years of being under residential surveillance, this man is a painter who can paint a hundred lanterns a day, and his speed is enough to make all writers at a certain point in later generations embarrassed.

Under the guidance of a disciple of Watanabe Kasayama, Chuemon inspected it. The room probably had been cleaned up. After all, his family disciples were worried that he would say something violent. Twenty days are enough to deal with those things. Lose. So the rest of the manuscripts of the books are nothing serious.

   Until a manuscript with the name of Doctor Shiro Takashima greeted Tademon's eyes, there was a rare gust of wind in summer, and a few words were written on the first page blown by the wind.
