Explain it!
Explain!
1:23:18
Masui Sobei, a former
Mito clansman...
1:23:21
...who had been a warehouse clerk,
of 80-koku income. 35 years old.
1:23:24
In early February, this year,
the said individual...
1:23:26
...covertly maintained a second residence
in the hills of Kaminegishi...
1:23:29
...into which, he installed
a mistress.
1:23:31
The source of his funds
came under suspicion.
1:23:34
Sir Kenmotsu ordered Seki Tetsunosuke
to conduct an investigation...
1:23:39
...and Masui was observed meeting with
a samurai near the Nihonbashi Bridge...
1:23:43
...at the tea parlor "Hatsune"
in Yanagi Village.
1:23:45
When Seki Tetsunosuke
followed them...
1:23:48
...he saw them enter a warehouse
owned by li Naosuke...
1:23:52
...near Nihonbashi's southern,
eighth district.
1:23:55
After obtaining the samurai's
name from the gate guard...
1:23:58
...it was revealed that he was Takigawa
Genba, an assistant to a Jr. Elder.
1:24:01
After interrogating Masui about his
connection to Takigawa Genba...
1:24:06
...it was found that Genba worked
for li's vassal, Nagano Shuzen...
1:24:09
...and he has been secretly talking
to Masui for a long time.
1:24:12
On January 31st, he received 20-ryo,
and a further 30 on February 21st...
1:24:17
...totalling 50-ryo. Masui Sobei received
these funds from Takigawa Genba.
1:24:22
He confessed to conspiring
against us.
1:24:25
Thus, he is hereby sentenced
to death.
1:24:28
Then... Kurihara Einosuke had...
nothing to do with it?!
1:24:32
Niiro... You're such a simple-
minded fellow.
1:24:36
What?!
1:24:37
You take things too seriously.
You're too frank.
1:24:41
If you don't become a little
more dispassionate...
1:24:44
...you can't possibly
destroy Elder li!
1:24:46
That has nothing
to do with this!
1:24:49
Kurihara Einosuke was
one of our comrades!
1:24:51
Also... he had a wife, and
even an innocent child.
