I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

,

"I can't even find their three corpse capitals. I don't even know whether they were burned to death or smothered to death by smoke..."

"From then on, I was the only one to run this hotel."

"...I'm sorry." Xu said a deep apology.

"Ohhhhhhh~~" Granny Cake chuckled lightly, "I don't need to apologize, I'm already relieved."

"People are inherently dead."

"I'm just lucky to die a little late."

"Although my son, son, daughter-in-law, and grandson are gone, and occasionally feel a little lonely, I am enjoying myself every day."

"There are grandma cakes to eat every day."

"From time to time there will be small surprises."

"Like today-if I died yesterday, I won't be able to run into your handsome young guy today."

"As long as you continue to live, you can experience this little surprise from time to time."

"If I can, I really want to live it for decades."

"Oh, did I talk too much? Did it affect your meal?"

The smile on Granny Kui's face was a little apologetic.

"Before, guest officials complained that I interrupted their meal..."

"Nothing." Ogata shook his head. "It didn't affect my meal."

Speaking of this, Ogata paused.

After being silent for a while, the grandma cakes at the table with a smile nuzzled their chins.

"Mother-in-law, do you have any specialties in your hometown?"

"Oh? Guest officer, you are interested in this."

"I have always been interested in food. Tell me more about the food in your hometown."

"Ohhhhhhhh~~ I'm so happy, I haven't met a customer like you, the guest officer, who took the initiative to ask me about the food in my hometown."

"But if I introduce them one by one, it may take a long time."

"It's okay." Ogata waved his hand. "I have a full night to chat with you."

"Ohhhhhhhh~~" Mother-in-law's gaze flickered towards Ogata, "Guest, you are so gentle...Oh! Then I'll introduce you to you in the same way!"

Just as the cake mother was preparing to introduce the food of her hometown to Ogata in the same way--

Click la la la...

The door of the hotel was slowly opened.

"Do you have any vacancies here?"

A middle-aged male voice full of breath and magnetism rang from the opened door.

Hearing this familiar voice, Ogata's pupils shrank slightly.

He violently followed the sound and turned his head to look at the hotel door.

At the gate of the hotel, there stood a large number of samurai wearing special black uniforms.

The middle-aged man standing in the front row was heroic and righteous-it was Hasegawa Heizo who hadn't seen him for a while.

Several people headed by Hasegawa Heizo blocked Ogata's line of sight, so Ogata could not see how many subordinates were standing behind Hasegawa Heizo.

However, according to his own visual observation, the number of officials beside and behind Hasegawa Hase was at least 20 people.

After seeing Hasegawa Heizo, Ogata subconsciously raised his hand to reach Dashaten and Dajiza who were on the tatami beside him.

But just as his hand stretched out, Xu Jian suddenly remembered something.

After taking a look at the cake mother-in-law who was sitting next to him, Ogata retracted the hand of the knife that had been leaning toward him.

Hasegawa Heizo is the same.

After Hasegawa Heizo and Imai and other officials next to him recognized Ogata, they subconsciously leaned their hands towards the sword on their left waist.

But just as he raised his hand, Hasegawa took a look at the cake mother-in-law—and then retracted his hand again like Ogata.

At the same time, gestured to Imai and others next to them, indicating that they should not be nervous, let alone draw their swords.

The cake mother-in-law, who hadn't noticed these little actions of Ogata and Hasegawa, was full of excitement.

"Ohhhhhhh~~ I'm really lucky mother-in-law today, there are so many customers patronizing."

"There are still vacancies in this store, but the number of rooms is a little insufficient, and it may not be enough for all of you."

"It's okay." Hasegawa shook his head. "We can squeeze a room with a few people. As long as there is a place to stay overnight, it is enough."

"Okay! By the way-have you had dinner yet?"

"not yet."

"If it's convenient, do you want to eat here?"

"...Then it will work."

...

...

When Hasegawa Heizo led his group of subordinates into the house, Ogata specifically counted the number of Hasegawa Heizo and others-including Hasegawa Heizo, a total of 23 people.

The number of people was much less than last time when Tatsuno Clan pursued Kinoshita Rina.

"That... guest officer." Granny cake said to Ogata apologetically, "Excuse me, do you mind if these guests sit next to you?"

"Don't mind." Ogata smiled. "It would be nice to have more people come and chat with me."

Seeing Ogata's consent, the cake mother-in-law immediately smiled.

And the person who came to sit next to Ogata did not surprise Ogata—heizo Hasegawa.

Hasegawa Heizo led several of his men and sat beside Ogata.

Although Hasegawa has a large number of them, if they are crowded, they can barely sit down in the restaurant on the first floor.

Granny cake quickly prepared the dishes ordered by Hasegawa and brought them all.

Even rural village aunts like the cake mother can see that Hasegawa and others are official officials-after all, apart from official officials, no one will wear such uniform uniforms.

The cake mother, who couldn't restrain her curiosity, couldn't help asking about the identities of Hasegawa and others.

And Hasegawa did not make any concealment, and straightforwardly stated which official office they belonged to, and showed his identity.

After learning that this group of people is the official post of Huofu Rogue Reform, and that the middle-aged person in front of him is the famous Hasegawa Heizo, the cake grandma showed surprise on her face.

"You are the Hasegawa Hizo-sama of "Now Ooka"!"

"Unexpectedly, mother-in-law, you know you are next..." Hasegawa smiled slightly.

"Of course! The storytellers in Kyoto are always telling your story!"

"I remember Hasegawa-sama, the government office under your jurisdiction specializes in investigating thieves and arsonists, right?"

"Yes." Hasegawa nodded.

"While investigating thieves and arsonists, we also catch murderers from time to time." Ogata, who was sitting on the side, answered in a half-joking tone at this time.

"Then! Excuse me, are you here to investigate the fire at dawn?"

Because of her emotions, Granny Kui's body involuntarily leaned forward in the direction where Hasegawa was.

"Huh?" Hasegawa was stunned when he heard the question of Granny Cake's endless question.

After a while, after regaining his senses, Hasegawa smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Sorry, I didn't come to your place this time to investigate the dawn fire."

"The Tianming fire was already two years ago."

"After such a long time, there is no way to find out."

"And—the Tianming fire has already been finalized."

"It's a tragedy caused by an unexplained fire in a suburban area."

"So there is nothing to investigate."

A look of loss appeared on the cheeks of Granny Kui at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"But, but... I heard that the big fire was man-made..."

"Mother-in-law..." Hasegawa smiled bitterly, "These hearsay rumors are not true."

"This is also a common occurrence. Every time there is a big case, various rumors will circulate in the market."

"These rumors are basically just made up by people after a meal."

"So mother-in-law, you should still follow the shogunate's announcement, and listen less to these rumors of unknown origin."

"...That's right." The corner of Granny Cake's mouth was slightly tilted, showing a smile.

But the smile of Granny Kui gave a bit of... a far-fetched color.

"Even if you really want to check, after 2 years, nothing can be found..."

"Ah, just at this moment." Ogata, who had half of her grandma cake in her mouth, whispered suddenly, "Grandma cake. I just found out now--the red bean paste wrapped in this grandma cake is quite sweet, sweet. Yes, it's delicious."

"Yes." Upon hearing Ogata's words, Granny Cake's eyes renewed a bit of expression, "My grandma cake is the most authentic grandma cake, eat more."

"Master Hasegawa." Ogata handed a piece of grandma cake on the table to Hasegawa. "Don't just talk, let's have some of this grandma cake together, it tastes pretty good."

When saying "Don't just talk", Ogata emphasized his tone specially.

Hearing that Ogata had something in his words, Hasegawa's eyes narrowed slightly.

After saying "I'm welcome," Hasegawa stuffed the grandma cake that Ogata had handed into his mouth.

The moment after the entrance of the grandma cake, Hasegawa's eyes lit up.

"Mama-mochi, let's continue with the topic just now." Ogata smiled at Mama-mochi. "Tell me well about the various specialties of your hometown-Asai Kusatsu."

"Ohhhhhhhh~~good!" Granny Kui seemed to be quite interested in this topic, her face and eyes shining brightly again.

"Master Hasegawa, are you interested in coming and listening together?"

"...Yes. I happen to be interested in this kind of local cuisine."

...

...

at the same time--

In a certain alley in Kyoto——

"belch……"

The drunk young samurai, Koga Shiisaburo, moved forward along the alley bit by bit, holding on to the wall.

As the Gion Festival is being held, the whole of Kyoto is immersed in a joyous atmosphere.

Affected by this joyous atmosphere, Koho Shi also drank a little too much tonight.

"It's so uncomfortable... I shouldn't drink so much..."

Although he said so, Koga did not show any regrets on his face.

In order to go home early to rest, Koga chose this shortcut that usually doesn't go much.

This shortcut is just an ordinary alley.

Although it's just a somewhat remote alley, it's not that no one walks in this alley on weekdays.

At this moment, including Koga, there are 5 people walking in this alley.

With the help of the wall, Koga walked slowly and methodically.

At this moment-Koga suddenly saw someone standing still in front of him.

Raise his eyes and look forward.

He is a samurai with two swords on his waist.

The samurai walked his feet so carelessly and stopped in front of Koga.

"What are you doing?" Koga's mood was a little unstable because of drinking.

Koga then shouted at the samurai who was blocking the road in front of him in a clearly impatient tone.

"Don't stand in the way of others! Get out of the way!"

The samurai ignored Koga's words.

Responding to Koga with just...one action.

The samurai will press the left thumb of the scabbard on his left waist and lift the blade of the scabbard from the scabbard, and then slowly pull the sword out of the scabbard.

The cold light reflected from the knife blade slightly illuminates this dim alley.

At this moment, Koga and this samurai are not the only ones in this alley.

Seeing the samurai suddenly drew his sword, other passers-by around him exclaimed.

"...It looks like someone who came to trouble me!" Koga was not afraid of the samurai who suddenly drew his sword.

Feeling a little awake from the wine, Koga slowly drew out his knife, and said:

"Does your kid know who I am?"

"I'm the third seat of the Qing Academy——Shichisaburo Koga!"

"Although I don't know if you are here to make money, or simply to kill you."

"But you are unlucky when you run into me!"

"bring it on……"

Before the last syllable of Koga's phrase "let the horse come" was not spoken, the samurai in front of him slammed forward in front of Koga at a speed far beyond Koga's imagination.

His pupils shrank suddenly, and subconsciously wanted to swing a sword at the samurai in front of him.

But before Koga's sword could be lifted, the blade of the samurai had already cut Koga's neck.

Masses of blood spurted from Koga's neck and splashed all over the wall next to him.

After slashing Koga to death, the samurai didn't stay any longer. He threw the sword in his hand down and smashed all the blood attached to the blade before leaving the place quickly.

Only the few other passersby who happened to be in this alley kept screaming in horror...

...

...

After receiving reports from the citizens, several Tongxin quickly rushed to the scene of the murder in Koga.

Looking at Koga who died in a miserable state, these concentric members felt a burst of stomach discomfort.

"Hey!" one of them asked concentrically to the citizens who happened to be at the scene when they were killed in Koga, "Do you see the appearance of the murderer?"

These citizens nodded one after another.

Seeing that these citizens saw the appearance of the murderer, these people felt relieved.

Someone witnessed the looks of the murderer-this made it easier for them to investigate the case.

"I will trouble you guys to come with us later." Another Tongxin said to the witnesses, "I need you to tell us in detail about the murderer's appearance."

The faces of these witnesses were extremely unwilling.

It's getting late now~www.wuxiahere.com~ No one wants to be questioned by the samurai of the government in the middle of the night.

Although unwilling in their hearts, none of these witnesses clearly expressed their dissatisfaction.

After all, they are just ordinary people who usually stand by themselves, and don't have the guts to disobey the government.

Just when these few Tongxin were planning to bring these witnesses back to their official office, a person who was also dressed like one rushed towards them.

"Not good! There has also been a murder in Sanyuan District! A civilian was cut to death!"

"Sanyuan District?" These concentric people exclaimed one after another.

Sanyuan District happens to be nearby.

An unknown premonition floated in the hearts of these concentric people.

There have been 2 consecutive murders in such a short period of time-they have not encountered such a sensational thing for a long time...
