"Take the murderer and give us justice!"

"The murderer was Hirotsuka Itakura. He killed our partner for no reason. He took human life and should pay for his life!"

In front of the house of Shigemasaki Tokura, a group of students from the Tokyo Academy were very angry, with a white cloth on their foreheads, and some people were holding banners. The news that Taro Inoue was beaten to death by Shigezuna on the way back spread and spread to the ears of Taro Inoue in the Tokyo Academy, which immediately aroused their anger. The anger that they had accumulated for a long time was bullied by the children of samurai burst out at this time and quickly swept across the entire academy.

Because the Kyushu Army only looks at talent but not talent recruitment, although some samurai children received good education since childhood, the common people still occupied half of the Tokyo school with their strong base. These people are even more united than the samurai children, and they are usually angry with the samurai rivals who are both students. Now they have finally had a venting port, and they burst out like a blocked flood breaking through the barriers.

"In addition to the nickname, Shigetsu Itakura, the son of Shigetsu Itakura, the shogunate retainer, deliberately beat his classmates, accidentally beat him to death, and throw him into the wild. He was extremely guilty and everyone criticized him!" On the streets of Edo Castle, newspaper boys walked through the streets and alleys, fueling the incident to a new climax!

"No, it's so vicious! Although those big names are the best people, they shouldn't deal with us ordinary people like this. Isn't our lives a life?"

"I see that the shogunate men are used to being generous in their daily lives, so they will not consider the feelings of us civilians at all, and will slaughter us like pigs and dogs."

"Silence! Are you looking for death? If the daimyo and the warriors hear it, our lives will be gone!" A man dressed in a small vendor shouted in a low voice, and looked around carefully.

"In addition to the shogunate, there are ambassadors from China in our Edo Castle, the shogunate dare not kill us in front of them, right? I heard that there were many students who gathered in front of General Hirakura's house who went to ask for explanations for Inoue Taro. Let's see how the shogunate will deal with this matter!"

"Okay, let's go and watch the fun!" After the residents in Edo Castle learned about this from the newspaper boy, they gathered at Hiromasa Itakura's house with no major thoughts.

For a moment, the streets and alleys where Itakura Shigemasa's house were crowded. The entire shogunate was sensational. Some shogunate soldiers who were originally patrolling the streets were as panicked as the ants on the hot pan. If something big happened, they would be investigated.

"In addition to nicknames, the incident of killing civilians by the shogunate retainers is in the Edo newspaper. If you want to know how the shogunate retainers bully civilians with their own power, don't miss it!" Some newspaper boys sold newspapers to onlookers of Edo Castle, constantly intensifying friction between the two sides.

Several samurai stood up and pressed their hands on the handle of the samurai sword: "Little brat, if you spread rumors here, you will be beheaded!"

"Bah, you are not a good thing to help the murderer! I am a newspaper boy named after the Edo newspaper founded in China. You have the ability to chase me!" The newspaper boy spitted at them in disgust, and then turned around and turned into the crowd.

Several patrol samurai were furious when a small newspaper boy was looked down upon by a small newspaper boy, but they thought that they were newspaper boys from the Edo newspaper boy, and the Edo newspaper boy was backed by the Chinese, so they really didn't dare to provoke this small newspaper boy for caution. Because even if they were as powerful as the shogunate, they needed the help of the Kyushu Army to defeat the Shogun coalition.

Shigemasa Itakura, who was inexplicably cheated by his son, was walking in his house, and in front of him, Shigemasaki Itakura, the initiator of the incident.

"It's okay if you say you kill an ordinary civilian, why don't you do it neatly? Now you've made a statement to those fools and kept shouting outside. This day is not peaceful!" Ichikura Shigemasa accused him with a disgrace.

"My father, it was too dark last night. I didn't know that the guy pulled off the jade pendant hanging on my clothes when he was beaten..." Shigetsu Itankura explained.

"Dragging things with slurred work is also your weakness!" said Hiromasa Itakura. "After killing someone, it is better to find a place to bury it than to throw it aside. I see that you are so panicked even if you kill a civilian, how can you come on the field to kill the enemy!"

"Yes, my father, I know I'm wrong." Ichikura Shigetsu apologized to his father.

"Get up. Although the arrival of the Kyushu Army has made those civilians become increasingly arrogant, you are my son after all, and I will never give up on you." Shigemasa Itakura asked Shigemasa to rise up.

At this time, a noble shogunate retainer broke in with a group of samurai.

"Sakura Kishi, why did you suddenly come to visit?" When Shigemasa Itakura saw that the visitor was one of the most trusted retainers of the shogun, Tadaokazu Sakai, knew that his son had killed civilians by mistake, had alarmed the entire shogunate, but he still showed a calm expression.

"Look at the good things your son did. Ichikura, you and I are the retainers of the Tokugawa family, and are also valued by the shogun. They should share the worries of the shogun. But this time I can't protect your son!" Tadashi Sakai said angrily, "Now the entire Edo Castle is in chaos and the people are in chaos. It's because the shogun is not in Edo Castle, otherwise I would have dealt with this matter myself!"

Seeing Tadaoka Sakai's fierce reaction, Hiromasa Itakura became more aware of the seriousness of the matter and asked tentatively: "Sakura, what do you want to deal with this matter?"

"Take your son as a bargaining chip to appease the residents of Edo Castle." Sakai Tadaokazuna, causing Hirotsuto Ichikura to tremble slightly.

"No." Of course, Shigemasa Itakura was unwilling to betray his son. "Sakura, do you know who the civilians Yu'er killed? He founded the Huaxia Society in private, promoted Chinese culture, and formed cliques. If it had been a long time, it would probably pose an unimaginable threat to our shogunate. If Yu'er killed him, it would help us eliminate future troubles. Not only did he fail, he would have made contributions!"

"Huaxia Club?" Tadaokazu Sakai's pupils shrank, "If this is true, it would be nothing to kill him. But how should we appease the people's hearts?"
