Chapter 320 10. Only Sakaimachi Is the Victim

Imagawa Yoshichika’s legal father is Imagawa Yoshimoto, and his blood father is Yamanouchi Yoshiharu. Both are well-known figures, and no one dares to kill such a high-ranking samurai noble in broad daylight.

Unless they have a falling out, the samurai nobles are still affectionate and "righteous" friends on the surface.

Kobayata believes that Imagawa Yoshichika can go, it is not dangerous, and he can also sell face to Sakai, the general, and Miyoshi Yoshitsugu. Face is still more important in this era.

However, Sakai’s bottom line must be asked in advance, otherwise they can’t even respond to other people’s conditions.

After a few rounds, Sakai’s bottom price was finally figured out, no more than 40,000 kan, and they couldn’t afford more.

This price is not bad, it can feed a hungry wolf.

When they were leaving the town, two representatives of Sakai also came forward. One was Sen Souichi, who was known as the "Master of the World" and "Tea Fairy". He had a lot of cards in the Miyoshi family and had acquaintances. The other was the big boss of Tennojiya, Tsuda Soki. His father, the great master craftsman Tsuda Sotatsu, died years ago, otherwise it would not be his turn to come.

The representative of the imperial court, Karahashi Zaishu, and the representative of the shogunate, Isshiki Fujinaga, finally arrived late. They finally remembered that there was such a thing in Kinai, and with a smile on their faces, they quietly served as a foil.

After a little negotiation, everyone decided to meet at Tennoji in the northeast of Sakaimachi. One side brought 500 guards, and the place for the talks was in front of Tennodo. Both sides sent people in advance to drive away the idlers and investigate the terrain to prevent anyone from suddenly attacking.

Kobayata finally met Matsunaga Hisahide again. The two looked at each other, one was "Old thing, why are you not dead yet!", and the other was "Little red man, don't fall into my hands!"

The eyes turned into two fighting blue dragons, constantly colliding and fighting in the air.

Finally, when everyone came together, Karahashi Zaishu coughed lightly, signaling everyone to be quiet. Then he began to transform into a clay Buddha, without saying a word.

Qian Zongyi used his expertise to start making tea. But unfortunately, there were so many people present that he couldn't order tea for everyone one by one.

It was also the first time for Imagawa Yoshichika to be a peacemaker, and he didn't know how to start. Iwase Motomasa stood behind him with a horse cane. There were no weapons, so they were all taken off before coming in to prevent people from using knives to cut people if they couldn't reach an agreement.

Xiao Pingtai saw that Imagawa Yoshichika didn't know how to start, so he pretended that the tea was very fragrant, "Come on, everyone, drink this tea together, this is rare to taste in normal times."

After saying that, he raised the tea bowl and looked like he was tasting tea.

But everyone's mind was not for drinking tea, even if the tea fairy brewed the tea himself, it would taste tasteless.

"Is this Fujiwara Danjo? I am Shinkai Totomi-no-kami. I won't waste my time talking to you. I came all the way from Boshu with my men. I can't come empty-handed, right?"

"Totomi-no-kami is famous for his military skills. Even Shinshu has heard of him (bullshit). This time, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer as entrusted by the Huihe people." Kobayata and Shinkai Sanetsugu nodded slightly.

"Totomi-no-kami cannot be unreasonable. Danjo is a talented and wise man with a good reputation in the world. Naturally, he has some plans." Miyoshi Yasunaga is the elder and pretends to scold Shinkai Sanetsugu.

Okay, one is the red face and the other is the white face.

Looking at Miyoshi Yoshitsugu sitting there, Kaneyama Suruga-no-kami behind him kept whispering to him. As for the four younger big guys, such as Sogo Nobuyasu, the youngest is only over ten years old. Who takes them seriously? It all depends on Shinohara Nagashina's opinion.

Shinohara Nagashina and Shinohara Jitun pretended not to care at all and were really drinking tea. The two of them were happy and at ease.

Nobuyasu Ataka was hostile to Matsunaga Hisahide, and he wanted to kill him with a knife. His face was full of anger and he didn't hide it.

"Since you are a lobbyist, you should show your sincerity, right?" Matsunaga Hisahide was cunning and didn't show his eagle until he saw the rabbit.

"You all just care about the 20,000 kan of town fees in Sakai. Why do you have to fight? Once the war starts, both sides will be destroyed, and the gain will not make up for the loss."

Kobayata will not be fooled by Matsunaga Hisahide. If you dare to fight, it will be fine. Whoever wins will get the money. You don't want to fight. If you want to fight, please leave.

"20,000? We have 50,000 people! 20,000 kan to send beggars? Let the gathering take out 50,000, otherwise it will not end." Shinkai Sanetsugu continued to pretend to be a rough man who is not easy to mess with.

"Totomi no Kami is asking for a lot. 50,000 kan is really too much." "50,000 kan is too much. We can negotiate. Haha, don't you think so, Tanzheng?" Miyoshi Yasunaga continued to be a peacemaker.

"We have 27,000 soldiers, so how can we be so stingy?" The Lord of Iwaki City, Shuyoutong, suddenly spoke up.

"The town fee of Sakai is only 20,000 kan, and everyone wants to claim it. You see, the big boss Tsuda is here too, and his worth is more than 100,000 kan. You can tie him up and make him a hostage, which is easier than asking me for money." Xiao Pingtai spread his hands.

With a "puchi", Miyoshi Yoshitsugu couldn't help laughing, and Tsuda Muneki was embarrassed to laugh or not laugh.

"This big boss Tsuda is worth 100,000 kan?" Miyoshi Nagaharu, who was still a child, was also curious.

"Of course, everyone just needs to tie up the big boss Tsuda, and 100,000 kan will be at your fingertips." Xiao Pingtai also answered with a smile.

This made the young man very happy, and he looked at Shinohara Nagafusa again and again, and the meaning was very clear. What kind of war is there? We can get rich by tying up the big boss Tsuda.

Shinohara Nagafusa smiled and shook his head, pacifying Miyoshi Nagaharu, and signaled him to take Miyoshi Yoshitsugu as the priority. Miyoshi Nagaharu nodded, as if he understood, and calmed down.

"Boss Tsuda, look, you are so valuable, let's let a few more slip through your fingers."

Everyone's eyes whizzed and whizzed to the embarrassed Tsuda Soki.

"In that case, I will represent the association and promise everyone that the town fee can be increased to 40,000 this year." Tsuda Soki felt his heart bleeding, and was bought by Kobayata.

"Okay! Boss Tsuda promised to give Sanshu Lord 40,000 kan, is Sanshu Lord satisfied?" Kobayata decided for him before Tsuda Soki finished speaking.

When the generals of Miyoshi Yoshitsugu heard 40,000 kan, those who were not shrewd showed joy on their faces. This amount of money was comparable to the annual tribute of a big country with 300,000 koku, which was not small.

Kaneyama Suruga Lord and Miyoshi Yasunaga signaled to the generals with their eyes, and no one objected, so they agreed with Miyoshi Yoshitsugu.

"In that case, it's completely possible." Miyoshi Yoshitsugu couldn't hide his joy.

"Hmph, Sanshu-no-Kami 40,000 kan has been handed down, and we are waiting!" Iwaki Tomomichi stood up angrily.

"The town fees of Sakai should belong to Miyoshi Sanshu, what's your opinion on the tax? Could it be that you are dissatisfied with Sanshu?" Xiao Pingtai is trying to divert the blame.

Miyoshi Yoshitsugu heard this and immediately glared at him. It was so hard to extort 40,000 kan, who dared to rob him!

Iwaki Tomomichi certainly didn't dare to turn against Miyoshi Yoshitsugu. 27,000 against more than 50,000, there is no chance of winning.

"Dan Zheng is very biased!" Matsunaga Hisahide had an indescribable smile on his face.

"Did I take sides? The big boss Tsuda will represent the meeting and will naturally have something to reward you."

"Big boss Tsuda, don't you think so?" Xiao Pingtai smiled like a wolf grandmother.

"Ah? What? Danzheng!..." "Matsunaga and Settsu, you must have 10,000 kan for the expedition fee before you can withdraw your troops."

"This!" Tsuda Muneki had already agreed to 40,000 kan, but there was another 10,000 kan to be paid.

"Well! What does Tsuda boss mean?" Miyoshi Masayasu finally spoke.

"Okay, okay, 10,000 kan is 10,000 kan." Tsuda Muneki's face flushed.

"Hahahaha, isn't that good!" Kobayata clapped his hands.

"His Highness is very pleased to see you all shake hands and make peace!" Isshiki Fujinaga also stood up and applauded.

Karahashi Zaishu, who was sitting with his eyes closed, also came to life, "The emperor means the same thing!"

The overall situation has been decided!

Miyoshi Yoshitsugu was rich, and the huge sum of 40,000 kan was easily taken. The Miyoshi Three and Matsunaga Hisahide and his son not only avoided a war, but also got 10,000 kan of face money.

"Come on, everyone, come to the king to swear an oath and sign a treaty." Imagawa Yoshichika also stood up and announced loudly.

…

"Tanzheng, you've made me suffer. Where did the extra 10,000 kan come from?" Tsuda Soji complained, but he felt much more relaxed.

"Does the big boss still care about 10,000 kan? Just 10,000 kan can buy the safety of 100,000 people in Sakaimachi. This deal is worth it."

"Tanzheng is really good at calculating. I admire you!"
