The main events in "Hidden Sword and Ghost Claws" can be
broken down into seven acts: 1. A certain feudal feudal clan Yaichiro Sama was arrested for participating in the fall of the curtain, and the elder wanted to execute him secretly for fear of the shogunate's involvement in the crime.
Second, Yoshiro escaped by the gap, and his old friend and classmate Katagiri Zangzang chased him down.
3. The wife of Mi Shilang went to Zongzang to intercede, but Zongzang declined. His wife then pleaded with her family elder, put forward "hidden rules" requirements, and betrayed her body in exchange for pardon for her husband.
4. The family elder broke his word after the "hidden rules" and did not notify Zongzang to suspend the operation, and Yaichi Langxuan was killed.
5. Afterwards, the wife of Yoshiro told Zongzang the inside story of the "hidden rules", Zongzang was shocked, and his wife committed suicide.
Sixth, Zongzang returned to his family elders, during which he confirmed that the "hidden rules" were true, and the murderous heart arose.
7. The next day, Zongzang sneaked into the old mansion in the daytime, and managed to escape after the "ghost claw" operation. The old man was killed by the attack. The others were puzzled by the method, and there were no witnesses. The autopsy was fruitless, and the matter was not resolved.
According to the basic principle of the "hidden rules", the elders would either not accept the request of Yaichiro's wife. Once accepted, he would have to help more or less in order to comply with the rules. But there is such a number one person in the world, who has played and slept, but he was cheap and behaved. Not only did he eat his words, he also said without shame that others are "actively dedicated" and "also enjoy it." Such words openly trample on the "hidden rules." It's not that the elder doesn't understand the rules, but he thinks he is in an absolutely powerful position. I just take advantage of you and don't do anything. What if you have no power and no power and a family member of a death row prisoner? Crime of treason! It's not possible to even copy you all the time! I can’t blame my black wrists, I can only blame you for being shallow, hahaha~~~~ It’s awesome, but it turns out that he still underestimated the consequences of the violation.
Mr. Wu Si talked about the consequences of violating the "unspoken rules" in the article "Settling the Violators": "In the officialdom, violations of the unspoken rules are not common. When I was studying history books, I collected very little and gained very little. It has been a long time. , I also figured out the reason. Violating the unspoken rules means that one of the parties in the interaction has to increase or lower the price without authorization. This is not a trivial matter, it is simply a robbery of money. Unless there is a significant change in the benefit or harm ability of both parties, the unspoken rule It cannot be modified at will. The imperial system has lasted for more than two thousand years, and the pattern of interests has been quite stable. Both sides realize that abiding by this set of rules is best for them. This is like a transaction. It’s not good for both parties. Since it’s a transaction, taking people’s money will help them eliminate disasters. Taking other people’s things will also harm them. It’s okay for people who are powerless to resist, but they will inevitably face retaliation in officialdom.”
As the other side of the "unspoken rule", Yaichiro's wife is probably a "little man who can't resist". It's miserable enough to be played, but she can kill people with the knife, let alone take reason! Therefore, it seems that an understatement has slapped Zongzang into revenge, which shows how deeply the principle of defending the "hidden rules" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. For Zongzo, principles are very important. The old family member Inyaichiro asked him to investigate the situation before. He refused to cooperate on the grounds that "the samurai cannot betray a friend". Cooperation is in accordance with the "rules"; and his assassination of the family elders, from the "Bushido" mentally speaking, can be regarded as violations of the rules, "suppression" and unfaithfulness; but from the point of view of the "hidden rules", he not only did not break the rules, but on the contrary Defending the dignity of the "unspoken rules", he wants to punish violators. In the film Zongzang's master Zunzun teaches: The hidden sword and ghost claws are not used in battle...The implication is that the "unspoken rules" are just useful.
Of course, for any game about "hidden rules", the final outcome is nothing more than "combining with the same flow" or "summing together", with few exceptions. The other parties are dead. As the defender of the "unspoken rules", the clan can only sell its scholarships and return to the land to finally quell the turmoil.
