Chapter 502 The culprit

If you were to die here, or you would have to wait for the good news that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was assassinated, and then Japan entered the channel of rapid development and earned a first merit.

He wandered in the thoughts of the two heavens of ice and fire every day, making Yamamoto Kogoro not think about tea or food. Finally, on this day, he waited for news.

"Chief, the county magistrate asked you to go to the county government office and said there was something important to tell you."

Upon hearing the news, Yamamoto Kogoro suddenly jumped up from the bed, and a smile appeared on his face.

The county magistrate looked for him at this time, and the county magistrate has not looked for him much since he came. Apart from asking him to do farm work, this must have been a major event that they arranged in the Tang Dynasty. Of course, such a major event may be the assassination of the emperor.

Along the way, he kept brainstorming about how the county magistrate would tell him about this, and Yamamoto Kogoro walked into the county government.

"Are you looking for me?"

This county magistrate is already in his sixties. Even if his career has come to an end, it is also beneficial to such an official, that is, he is obedient. He doesn’t want to offend young people like Hong Yuan. What if he commits a crime after he dies?

"It's not me, it's these two."

The old county magistrate naturally knew that he was a tool man. He didn't even ask Hong Yuan what he was looking for Yamamoto Kogoro, and just said, "You should be self-righteous to me." After all, he is in his sixties and has never seen anything. Although the fifty imperial guards did not wear any uniform clothes, their aura was there. When they fought that way, they were not ordinary soldiers.

"Who are you?"

"I am the magistrate of Huang County. This is the Minister of War of the Tang Dynasty. In Huang County, someone wants to see you."

When he saw Hong Yuan's opening remark, Yamamoto Kogoro felt something was wrong. It was basically impossible for anyone to see him in Huang County. There were indeed many people who wanted to see him, but they were all Japanese, so there were no Tang people.

At this point, Yamamoto Kogoro, who had a lot of experience in fighting, had already become a little vigilant. His pace slowly wanted to move backwards, but of course, it was too late when he entered the house.

In just one stick of incense, Hong Yuan held a list from the old county magistrate, which were the names of all the Japanese envoys sent to Tang.

"Okay, just these people, take them away."

This process was quite easy, because these envoys sent to Tang were all Japanese nobles. On the one hand, they were training and enjoying themselves.

It is really not even a little difficult for the imperial guards to capture them.

"Who are you? We are the envoys sent by the Tang Dynasty of Japan. This is how you, Tang Dynasty, treat the envoys sent by the Tang Dynasty?"

Although Yamamoto was already panicked and didn't know what was going on, he was still stubborn. Although Hong Yuan was unwilling to pay attention to him, he was really annoyed by him, so he said directly: "What should we calculate who sent the Tang envoy to assassinate the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty? When you return to Huang County, you can see your old friends. You can get together and get on the road!"

This sentence was like a large basin of cold water pouring on Yamamoto Kogoro, which made him lose his temper at that time because everything Hong Yuan said was true, and it was obvious that a ronin had been caught by the Tang Dynasty.

Although Yamamoto Kogoro knew that Ronin would not betray Japan, their identities were very easy to distinguish. At least they could know that they must be Japanese.

A few hours later, Yamamoto Kogoro, Hong Yuan and Lei Wanchun came back with the mute ones.

"Your Majesty, I want to see these people, it's useless to keep them. The Japanese are all ambitions and kill them quickly."

Originally, Li Yan wanted to take them out for a walk, but after being disturbed by Koizumi and others, everyone was worried. Lei Wanchun had not slept much for several nights, fearing that something would happen, so he caught all the Japanese who killed thousands of swords this time. Lei Wanchun couldn't hold it in, so he wanted to have a quiet place.

"It's easy to kill them, but before killing, I still want to know something, go! Keep Yamamoto Kogoro and Koizumi together and you can almost kill them tomorrow."

"Your Majesty, Yamamoto Kogoro is the leader of the Japanese envoy to Tang. Don't you personally examine it?"

"He? Not qualified."

After Li Yan said this, Yamamoto Kogoro was thrown into the house where Koizumi was imprisoned, just like Muto Ichiro before.

When the two met, they naturally had no good expressions. Koizumi thought of Yamamoto Kogoro's arrival. Even Muto Ichiro had already rebelled, not to mention Yamamoto Kogoro, a guy who was ignorant and knew how to command blindly.

"I told you such good news in advance, and the assassination failed?"

Anyway, he was about to die, but Yamamoto Kogoro was still unwilling to accept it. As soon as he saw Koizumi tied into the house, he stood in front of Koizumi, and spit out stare and made his last vent.

Of course, Koizumi would not be scared by his face. He sneered and said, "Do you know why the emperor of the Tang Dynasty prepared in advance?"

"Are you prepared in advance? It's not that your people are showing off their strength in Chang'an City, or they are those dead soldiers, right! It must be the Tubo people who did things in a bad way, and the whereabouts of those dead soldiers were revealed!"

When Koizumi heard the word "Tubo" so easily, it came out of Yamamoto Kogoro's mouth. He frowned and cursed Yamamoto Kogoro with a silly voice, thinking that the Tang people helped you put it in? Isn't it just that you can tell any secrets when you are anxious and white-faced. As a result, they sold the Tubo people as soon as they came up.

"Hmph, did you inform Muto Ichiro in advance of this matter? He had already defected to the Tang Dynasty. This matter was learned from his mouth by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty in advance! Otherwise, how could our plan fail? How could I lose all the ronin under the response of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty? You are the sinner of Japan!"

"Mutou Ichiro... This is impossible! He is the best craftsman in our Japan. He has helped us pass on the drawings of many warships. He cannot rebel!"
