Niwa Nagahide sent over a letter—or rather, an order. Harano wasn't surprised after reading it, and just handed it straight to Ah Man.
Ah Man took a look and was shocked: "Shiba Yoshinori actually died?"
Shiba Yoshinori, the fourteenth Patriarch of the Hoshina family, also known as the Jibu-no-Daibu, Buddhist name Yishan, descended from one of the three Kanrei of the Muromachi Shogunate, daimyo protector of Owari Province, the nominal supreme ruler of Owari. A few days ago, his residence was stormed by the Oda Family at Qingzhou, his own household retainers, and he was forced to commit seppuku.
Wanjin had only just been established, and Ah Man, this freshly appointed "East Factory Director," hadn't been in the job long. For now, he only had any influence around Nagano Castle and Atsuta Port—Qingzhou City was still far beyond his reach. He had no idea what had happened there, so after a quick glance at the letter, he immediately said seriously, "I'll go check this out right away."
