Tuya Suisan spent some money and found some details about Abe Masahiro's assassination from a servant.

When Abe Masahiro was discovered, a big hole was opened in the ceiling of the room, while Abe Masahiro himself had a broken arm and a penetrating wound on his forehead. It seemed that it was caused by a dagger.

Apart from these, the murderer did not leave any more clues in place.

The Tu Fang San pondered.

Among the small group belonging to the Trial and Health Center, his mind was relatively fast, and he came up with ideas for many things, and then Yu Shimazaki decided on it.

He had some bad thoughts in his mind.

That is, Masahiro Abe...is very likely the assassination of Zuocun.

Zuocun has been staying in Kyoto before, and many people can testify. After all, Yuguizhan is still a big shot, and a unique big shot.

As for the dagger... there happened to be a dagger hanging on Zuocun's chest.

In addition, when I was in Rensheng Village, Zuocun and the two of them had a debate...

No, we shouldn't have made a conclusion so early. Could it be that something that the government cannot find out? Can I, a little warrior, investigate it clearly?

Tu Fang's thoughts of escaping.

"Tiyao, have you found out what you have?" Shimazaki Yuu came over and asked.

Okina's eyes were hopeful.

Tu Fang hesitated for two seconds and shook his head: "There is no valid news, I can only know... Lord Abe died miserably, and his hands were cut off."

"Is this true..." Shimazaki Yuuki hugged his chest, as if thinking about something.

Only Okita noticed the slightest hesitation.

The only one who is confusing is not just Zuocun.

......

Zuocun and Ryuma just walked and stopped along the coastline.

After more than a month, the three of them finally walked from the courtyard to the Shimotian.

As Japan's only two channels to connect with foreign countries, both of them are very curious about this place.

It was the Americans who forced the shogunate to sign an unequal treaty, forcibly collapsed Japan's policy of locking up the country, and finally woke up the foolish donkey of the shogunate.

After the United States signed treaties with the shogunate twice, countries such as Russia, Britain and the Netherlands also signed various treaties with Japan.

Not long after, Japan's "big ship construction ban" was lifted by the shogunate, which was achieved by Masahiro Abe who put some effort into it.

Shimoda Castle is not prosperous, unlike large cities such as Edo, Nagoya, and Kyoto. It appears more as a port in people's sight.

Zuocun and Ryuma approached Shimoda Castle, and their first impression was: there were so many foreigners.

Although there are still many Japanese in Shimoda Castle, there are also many tall, tall, straight noses, and blonde and blue eyes that are not seen in other places.

"Longma, those people look so strange." Miss Aaron looked at the foreigners in the city and complained to Longma.

"Well, it's really a big difference with the Japanese..." Ryuma narrowed his eyes.

He had seen foreigners before, but this was the first time he had seen this number of foreigners.

"I remember that Americans have placed diplomats here." Zuocun remembered something.

"Well... let's stay here for two days." Longma thought about it.

After all, it is just to increase your knowledge, and staying for too long does not have much effect.

The three people walked in Shimoda, and most of the foreigners were busy and rushed by, but some foreigners would look contemptuous to the Japanese, including Ryuma Zuomura.

That is not a contempt for individuals, but a contempt for a country.

It made Zuocun feel depressed.

"Longma, can I beat someone?" Miss Along was displeased and sought Longma's opinions.

"Don't be fine, calm down, Miss Along." Longma smiled bitterly in a cold sweat.

In fact, Zuocun and Ryuma are both prepared for this situation.

If a country is weak, it will naturally be despised by others, which is inevitable.

The two of them are considering how to avoid such vision in the future.

It is a joy to be happy for a while, but it does not benefit the country at all.

Ryuma led Miss Along, and several people found the hotel in Shimoda Castle, moved in, and then sighed at the same time.

"I have imagined that foreigners' attitude towards us should be very bad, but I didn't expect..." Longma felt a big stone pressing on his chest.

Zuomura remembered the approachable foreigner - his English teacher, Dr. Luslan Jefferson who lives in Kyoto.

Luslan reminded him that Americans' attitude towards Japan was surprisingly consistent, and he was just an example.

Therefore, when you are with Americans and other foreigners other than him, you must not act rashly.

"Rongma, do you have any ideas?"

"...If I can really wash this country, then diplomacy is urgent." Ryuma pinched his chin and thoughts, "But in the final analysis... the confidence of diplomacy is still his own strong strength. The current shogunate is too weak, and the emperor also openly supports the weak shogunate. Lord Katsukisu has begun to establish a navy under the guidance of the dead Masahiro Abe. I heard that he also hired a Dutch teacher. I don't know what the situation is now..."

"... Let's talk about it first. Now, when it's still time to accumulate strength, our thoughts are not suitable for appearance on the surface." Zuomura made an opinion on Ryuma.

"I think this too, too." Longma sighed and rubbed his temples.

......

At this time, Kyoto.

A servant looked at the scene inside the palace tremblingly.

"General-General is dead!"

This scream sounded the whole of Kyoto.

On August 14, 1858, Shogun Tokugawa Ieda was found dead in his bedroom.

The cause of death... unknown.

The shogunate master and Tokugawa Shiaki, the leader of another faction of Ii Naochi, faced each other, and everyone was silent.

Tokugawa Qiaki stared at Naosuke Ini and gritted his teeth: "Sir Ii, what should we do now?"

Naochi Ii sighed.

"I recommend... Tokugawa Ieshiro, who served as the shogun."

There was not much dispute between the Ichibashi faction and the Nanji faction.

Everyone knows the cause of the general's death, but no one will tell it.

Tokugawa's family was already terminally ill two years ago and was unable to form a human being. Many political affairs were discussed with Masahiro Abe.

But as soon as Abe Masahiro died, the Tokugawa family must take over again.

Tokugawa's family is already sick and tuberculosis, and the death of his confidant...

The only person in charge now is Naochi Ii.

"At the same time... arrest these people."

He threw out a list he had prepared.

The people above...eighty are all Yiqiao Sects.
