Indecent obedience Noichi ~ Servitude over loyalty ~

Time is Edo ───.

"Samon SHIBATA," the local governor of the lord of the Nagasa Domain, joined hands with "Rikei DAIKOKUYA" to deal with evil deeds, and spent his days fattening his own stomach.

However, one day, I hear a report that a spy may have entered the investigation.
Whether it was a secret official, or someone who was jealous of the left gate, which was hard to remember by the bakufu, and tried to pull his foot with nengu (land tax).

If there is a snitch among the people, you have to catch them and make an example.

"─── Daikan-sama, why don't you set one trap here?」

"Are you going to broil the spy?」

"It is the left-like ─── Rather than trying to hide it poorly, I can not remain silent if I do evil deeds with dignity."

"Certainlyな it is a story that can be done if you put a net firmly and do not miss it."

"It seems good to recruit a snitch ─── If you can leave the financing for that to me of course."

"Fufuf, it's good ─── That's also evil, Daikokuya"

"No, no, as for the governor-sama-Fufuf ───"

In order to protect his peace, Samon immediately began to plan with Ribei---.

時は江戸───。

長狭藩藩主の代官である「柴田左門」は、「大黒屋利兵衛」と手を組んで悪事に手を染め、私腹を肥やす日々を送っていた。

しかしそんなある日、密偵が調査に入った可能性があるという報告を耳にする。
公儀隠密なのか、あるいは年貢高で幕府の覚えめでたい左門を妬んで足を引っ張ろうとする何者かの差し金か。

もし民衆の中に密告者がいるなら、ひっ捕らえて見せしめにせねばなるまい───。

「───お代官様、ここはひとつ罠を仕掛けてみては？」

「密偵を炙り出そうというのか？」

「左様でございます───下手に隠そうとするより、むしろ堂々と悪事を働いてやれば黙ってはいられますまい」

「確かに・・・しっかり網を張って逃さぬようにすれば済む話ではあるな」

「密告者を募るのも良さそうですな───そのための資金繰りは、無論私めにお任せいただければ」

「フフフ、よかろう───そちも悪よのぅ、大黒屋」

「いえいえ、お代官様ほどでは・・・フフフ───」

自らの安寧を守るため、左門はさっそく利兵衛と共に計画を練り始めた───。
