Chapter 33: Alarming the shogunate's burglary

   Speaking of gossip that has nothing to do with him, that Tongxin became extremely talkative, that appearance, that looks, and those who don’t know think he committed the case.

   Theft!

   In the feudal era, ordinary thefts were really not a case. In other words, through the ages, thefts have basically not been counted as crimes. If you lose a mobile phone or a battery car in the future, there is a high probability that you will not be able to find it. And you may pretend to register after you report the case, and then let you go home without filing the case at all. After all, people need to solve the crime rate, you are not worthy of this small theft!

   The same is true nowadays, the boss throws a chicken, the west throws a bucket or something, as the theoretical police station chief Tongxin masters will not take care of this case at all. The town and the eyes in the town can come and take a look, even if it is a neighborhood in the street, take care of you.

   But this time the case has gone big, because what I lost is a treasure from two hundred years ago. It was hand-fired by the famous Daigō Saka Korezaemon, and then presented to the second general Tokugawa Hidetada by Mori Terumoto. It is called the famous Erhagi in the "Iraku Erhagi San Karatsu".

   Goryeo white Hagi ware tea bowl!

   flower name "Tianzhiye"!

   is one of the top tea bowls that have been passed down from generation to generation in the family of General Tokugawa. It once appeared in the famous tea man Oda Gudongye. No, it was Oda Yuraku's tea party. It has been praised by a lot of famous tea ceremony masters, and there is no more praise.

   What it looks like, it is estimated that only General Tokugawa and the owner know. As for why Tokugawa Ieki is not the owner, the reason is very simple, because the former general Tokugawa Ieki lives extravagantly and spends extravagantly, and the money he has on his hands is not so handy after he became the Oisho. He used this tea bowl as collateral and borrowed a sum of money from the owner.

   Forty thousand taels of gold!

   It’s not that the Tokugawa family can give as much as they want. Just such a tea bowl is naturally worthless in the hands of famous tea ceremony masters, but if you really want to sell it, a few thousand taels will be great. Mainly because Tokugawa's face was big, he mortgaged the tea bowl to the owner. The owner borrowed money, he was really giving money to the Tokugawa family under another name.

  嗷, by the way, the owner is Shigeemon Naraya. Now it can't be called the owner, it should be called the dead. I don't know if it was scared or awkward. On the second day after the tea bowl was lost, Shigeemon Naraya hanged himself.

   It's really wind blowing eggshells together, and people will go with the money!

   This Naraya Shigeemon is a "stock friend" of the shogunate, one of the forty-eight questions in Edo, and a well-known big monopoly merchant in the world. There are not only businesses in Edo, but also branches in Kyoto and Osaka. It is said that the amount of money paid to the shogunate alone is as high as 25,000 taels every year, and it is a major merchant that the shogunate relies on.

  According to Tademon’s shallow memory, this old man’s Nara house was operated until the Taisho period before being annexed by a chaebol supported by the government. It is considered a 300-year-old shop.

The general situation of the    case is like this. In theory, it is a theft, but in fact it is also a theft. But, we want another one. With such a big card like Shigeemon Naraya, is it so simple?

   is not easy!

  Because three days before the incident, Mizuno Tadakuni, who had served as the chief executive officer, summoned a group of big businessmen in Edo. Announcing to them the decision to dissolve the price of Edo, and that all prices in Edo will be set by the shogunate, and the market will no longer be allowed to set prices freely. The price of everything under the world must be artificially lowered, so that the shogunate and the samurai can buy more with the meager money.

   Not surprisingly, this move was opposed by all the shogunate imperial merchants. Mizuno ignored their opposition and forced it forward with the shogunate’s power. And the Naraya Shigeemon said on the spot that since the shogunate did so, the shogunate would not be able to collect nearly one million in gold every year from now on.

Mizuno was also hard-hearted. He believed that after the dissolution of the price alliance and the commerce guild, materials from outside Edo Castle would flood into Edo, which could be recovered from the commodity tax and transaction tax, so he was very proud to say that you didn’t need you in the first place. Those little money. And I hope that you will abide by the law in the future. If you break the law, don't blame him Mizuno Tadakuni for coming to ransack his home.

   broke up unhappy!

  On the third day after the end, there was the theft of Naraya, and Shigeemon committed suicide in Naraya. Even people who are not opposed to Mizuno's reforms will inevitably suspect Mizuno.

   I am afraid this is an action deliberately arranged by Mizuno Tadakuni using the power of the shogunate in order to knock the mountain and shake the tiger. It was to force the killing of Shigeemon Naraya, and let the tycoons of Edo obediently submit. While giving money to the shogunate, he helped Mizuno Tadakuni fight commercial development.

   Choose between fate and money, of course fate is important!

   Conspiracy theories are on the rise, and in just a few days, with the facts and speculations, UU Reading www.uukahnshu.com spread in Edo. Even Tadaemon and Heizo, the little fish-catchers, know about it, not to mention the mothers-in-laws in the streets, and the more well-informed shogunate, the Kachimoto Yu family.

   Mizuno Tadakuni was as usual, he didn't explain, he thought he was sitting upright. Relying on his dignified shogunate veteran, what tricks are used to deal with a businessman whose social status is far below him.

   He thought so, but others didn't think so. Everyone guessed that Mizuno had a guilty conscience, and he didn't dare to respond positively. Anyway, the government said that Shigeemon Naraya hanged himself. Who knows if Mizuno sent someone to strangle him and hang him on the beam. Conspiracy theories have always been a drama that the people like to hear and see.

   probably saw an ordinary theft case turned into a terrifying case involving the chief veteran of the shogunate. Appreciated by Mizuno Tadakuni, he kicked Sakura Tadayuki, and then he took the post of Edo Kitacho to Yabe Sadaken. Naturally, he must do his best to investigate the case.

   When he wanted to come, it was just a small theft. Regardless of the fact that Edo is a large city with a population of one million, as long as the prince of the government is determined to deal with the case, it will definitely be able to find out one, two, three, four or five.

   Those hooligans who petty the streets and pet dogs are actually filed in Tongxin's place. Yabe Sadaqian gave an order and was accustomed to stealing and stealing things. He caught hundreds of people, beaten up during interrogation, and confessed quite a lot, but no one was able to say exactly what the theft case was.

   Under Miki, it is reasonable to say that there must be something, but Yabe Masakane is not looking for a substitute for the dead, but to really find out the truth. The confessions made by the thieves who confessed to them did not match the actual situation of the Nara House stolen.

   This theft is actually a tricky case of secret room theft!
