The people responsible for arresting Yao Fang were from the Akamatsu family, the chief of the samurai office.Kyoto attached so much importance to this fish that slipped through the net because they interrogated Yao Fang's identity: he was the son of a Ming marquis and the elder brother of Ming's virtuous concubine. In addition to the information obtained from the Ming envoys, the "traitorous monks" arrested in temples in Kyushu and other places also confirmed Yao Fang's identity.As early as the time of the previous shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the samurai had effectively controlled the power of temples and shrines; so Muromachi-dono had discovered earlier that some Han monks had come to the temples.
