I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Realizing that they seemed to have affected others to receive or return the female hand, Ogata and Amachi hurriedly left from the "female hand receiving point."

However, before leaving this "female cutting hand receiving point", Ogata made a nuisance at the magnificent mansion behind the uncle:

"Excuse me—is the room behind you the Shiro Bingbei Clubhouse?"

"Yes." The uncle nodded, a faint pride appeared on his face, "This house is the Shirobei Club. If you encounter any trouble in Yoshihara, just come here and we will help. your."

"Of course-what we can help is limited to Yoshihara."

"Okay." Ogata said casually, "I will."

After looking up and down at the Shirobei club in front of him, Ogata secretly said in his heart:

——It’s really the same as what I heard from that wife today... The Shirohebei Club is located next to the gate. After passing through the gate of Yoshihara, you can see the Shirohebei Club on your right...

--Ok? what is that?

As Ogata was looking at the base camp of the Shirobei club in front of him, he suddenly noticed a large, eye-catching piece of paper sticking to the door of the club.

Densely dense words are written on the paper.

Ogata, whose curiosity was aroused, walked quickly towards the piece of paper.

Amachi followed Ogata to the paper, and after taking a look at the paper, his face immediately showed an expression as if he had eaten a fly:

"A lot of incomprehensible Chinese characters...what are they writing on?" Amachi poked Ogata next to him with his elbow.

"Yeah...you can't read kanji..." After Ogata smiled bitterly, he began to read the text written on this piece of paper at a glance.

The person responsible for picking up and writing on this piece of paper should have practiced calligraphy, the handwriting is neat and looks pleasing to the eye.

In order to take care of those who are not highly educated, the person in charge of writing seems to have intended to reduce the frequency of use of Chinese characters.

On the whole paper, the ratio of Chinese characters to kana is about 4 to 6.

However, although the number of Chinese characters has been specially reduced in order to take care of those who are not highly educated, it is still too difficult to read for people like A Ding who really don't know anything about Chinese characters.

After quickly reading what was written on this paper, Ogata Chao Amachi explained:

"The pile of content written on this paper can be condensed into one sentence: They are recruiting new people at the Shiro Bingbei Association, hoping to be competent for paperwork, or people with good skills can actively sign up."

"It looks like the conditions are pretty good. The wages are delivered every day, and the daily wages are six dollars."

This "salary is settled on the same day and paid on the day" model was very common in ancient Japan.

Many jobs use this pay model.

For example, when a section of the city wall or a large house is to be renovated, a group of people will be temporarily recruited to work hard, and then the wages will be settled on the same day.

Many people who can't find any decent work, such as the ronin who has escaped from the domain, rely on this kind of work that can be paid on the same day.

It is the Kuanzheng period, and the daily salary of an ordinary craftsman is about 3 to 4 silver.

The wages offered by the Shiro Bingbei Club is 6 silver per day, which is considered a very conscientious wage.

When Ogata had just explained to Amachi what was written on the paper, the uncle who was responsible for handing out the female hand-out handed the female hand-out to a woman in front of him, and said to Ogata:

"We have recruited enough people in charge of paperwork, and we only lack people with good skills."

"If you are interested in working at our Shiro Bingbei Club, remember to sign up as soon as possible."

"Are you very short of people now?" Ah Ding asked.

"That's right." The uncle smiled bitterly, "It's not because of the imperial trial that attracted a lot of ronin from other places, which made our Yoshihara's current guests have a lot more, and the manpower is not enough."

"In short, if you intend to come to work with us, please come and sign up as soon as possible."

"Okay." Ogata said casually, "I will."

After regaining their gazes to check the "recruitment advertisement", Ogata and Amachi left side by side from the "female cut hand receiving point".

A wide avenue connects the gate of Yoshihara, and Ogata and Amachi walk along this avenue toward the depths of Yoshihara.

Both sides of the avenue are full of girls' houses with signs of various numbers.

Red lanterns for lighting are hung on the outside of every girl's house.

The red light emitted by the red lantern enveloped Yoshihara, making Yoshihara bright as daylight, while the red light also gave Yoshihara a lustful atmosphere.

The atmosphere in Yoshiwara is almost exactly the same as Ogata's previous experience in Shimabara in Kyoto.

And the style of each Yunv's house in Yoshihara is similar to that of Shimabara's Yunv's house.

A wooden, grid-like fence is built on the first floor of each You Girl House.

The girls in each girl’s house are sitting behind the grid-like wooden fences, like goods placed behind the window, for the past guests to freely choose their favorite girls.

Although Yoshihara and Shimabara are similar in all aspects, the scale of the two is quite different. The difference in scale between Yoshibara and Shimabara is overwhelming.

Yoshiwara claims to have three thousand yugogirls, but Ogata doesn’t know if there are so many yugogirls.

In terms of management mode, Yoshihara's management is also stricter and more formal than Shimabara's.

Yoshihara manages the "Shiro Bingbei Club" as an independent organization, but Shimabara does not have it.

"It's so bright..." Ah Ding mumbled as he looked around, "How many candles and lamp oil does Yoshihara cost a night..."

"Yoshihara is the'Edo's city that never sleeps' after all." Ogata replied casually.

"I don't know if I have a chance to take a look at Yoshiwara's Oiran." Amachi said, "I heard that women who can be Oiran must be peerless beauties. I would like to see how beautiful they are."

"Oiran is not so good to see." Ogata shrugged, helplessly said.

The two did not forget why they came to Yoshihara.

Ogata arbitrarily grabbed a young man who was walking on the road without hurried or slow footsteps, and he knew at a glance that he must be very idle, and asked where his "Sakuramon House" was.

This young man speaks a skilled Edo accent. He should be a native of Edo. After hearing Ogata ask where Yoshihara is, he enthusiastically told Ogata how to go.

The road is not difficult, Ogata remembers the route at once.

While walking with Amachi to the Sakuramon House along the route indicated by the young man, Ogata also paid attention to the surroundings and listened to the conversations of the people around him, trying to detect some interesting information from the conversations of the people around him.

The people who walk on the road are basically men who come to have fun, but there are also some women.

The women who come to Yoshiwara are naturally not for fun, but for work, so the women who walk on the roads of Yoshiwara are basically in a hurry and do not squint.

Although Ogata had deliberately went to listen to the conversations of the people around him, it was a pity-after listening for a long time, I didn't hear any interesting information.

After listening, what you hear is basically a dialogue like this:

"Oh, you are here again in Yoshihara? Didn't you just come here last night?"

"You just ate dinner last night, so don't you eat tonight?"

...

"I recommend a girl to you, the first wind of the corner house. Her feet and mouth are amazing."

"Hoho~~ Then I'm going to try it out!"

...

"I just heard that a customer ordered the wind chimes tafuye at Umeya."

"Really? Then can we see "Oiran Dochu" later?"

...

What's in your ears is all these conversations.

At the same time, the mellow voices from the Yunv's house on both sides of the street also disturbed Ogata all the time.

The wandering girls sitting in the wooden fences on the first floor of each wandering girl's house stretched their hands out of the fence from time to time, either playing with the people standing outside the fence, or soliciting guests for themselves.

"Guest, this is the first time I saw you."

"Guest officer, do you want to come to play with us?"

Dialogues similar to this continue to be heard in Ogata's ears.

With Amachi following by his side, Ogata didn't dare to go back to these wanderers, nor did he dare to see these wanderers more.

In addition to these wanderers, Ogata will also be harassed by those soliciting customers.

In front of the gate of almost every girl's house, there is a person or even several solicitors.

These people responsible for soliciting customers are called "Jianshifan".

After seeing a man passing in front of their shop, they would greet them with great enthusiasm, telling them how good the service of their shop is, and how good their girls are.

Most of the people in charge of Jianshifan are men.

The principle is also very simple-only a man has enough strength to pull a man.

Ogata has seen several people with enthusiastic smiles on their faces half-forcing some people who hesitate and don't know where to go into their store.

Of course, these Jianshifans only dared to pull the civilians without sabers around their waists, and almost no Jianshifan would have any physical contact with the samurai.

The reason why I try not to have physical contact with the samurai is to avoid the kind of neurosis that likes to yell, "Ah, you dare to touch my sword, you have defiled the soul of the samurai, and watch me kill you."

However-even though I won't go to the Qiang pull samurai to enter the shop, but seeing the samurai passing by in front of their shop, the world will greet the samurai with great enthusiasm and introduce the samurai how their shop is. How powerful.

Ogata no longer remembers how many people he has met since he came to Yoshihara, and the number is countless.

Being bothered by these encounters over and over again, even Ogata felt a little annoyed.

"Those soliciting people are so annoying..." Ah Ding said displeasedly.

"Yeah." Ogata nodded in sympathy, "It's really annoying..."

Just as Ogata wondered if there was any way to stop these Jian Shifan from disturbing him again--

"Go away! Go away!"

A series of shouts suddenly erupted from the crowd ahead.

The crowd in front is not dense, and Ogata is taller than most of the people around, so Ogata only looks forward to see what's going on ahead:

A bald head was running towards him in a panic.

While the bald head shouted "Get out of the way", he pushed away all those who were in front of him with very rough methods, attracting screams and scolding.

When Ogata was thinking about what was going on with this panicking bald head, a series of big drinks from behind this guy informed Ogata's answer:

"Quick! Catch him! He is a thief!"

Behind this panicked bald head followed a number of people.

All of these people were wearing Haori from the Shirobei Club, holding wooden sticks in their hands, while chasing after the bald head, and at the same time they kept shouting to inform the people around the bald head's identity and let the people around them work together. Catch the thief.

——It turned out to be a thief...

After making such a secret voice in his heart, Ogata turned his eyes and stared at the bald head that was rushing straight in his direction, and after he handed the big box of steamed buns with his right hand to his left hand, he slowly Raising his right hand, he stretched out to Da Shitian at his waist.

After all, he was just catching a thief, so Ogata only planned to use the back of the sword to confront the enemy, and use the back of the sword to stop the thief and knock him unconscious.

As soon as Ogata put his right hand on the handle of Dashaten's sword, from the corner of his eye, a small figure suddenly appeared behind the bald head.

I saw this petite figure rushing up to the eaves of the swimming girl's house at a very fast speed, then walked along the eaves across the crowd under the eaves, and jumped in front of the bald head.

When this petite figure leaped from the eaves, it landed exactly in front of the bald head, and landed between Ogata and the bald head.

Looking at the petite figure that suddenly appeared in front of him, Ogata raised his eyebrows in surprise.

He knew this man.

It is the melon show that has the reputation of "Yoshihara concentric" in the daytime.

Unexpectedly, someone could reach the bald head in front of him by walking on the eaves, and his face was full of horror. Although he had tried to slow down, his body continued to rush forward with inertia.

In this way, he rushed into the best attack range of Gua Sheng.

After the bald head entered his attack range, Gua Sheng quickly drew out the wooden knife around his waist and aimed at the bald head's neck to make a cross cut.

The wooden knife accurately hit the neck of the bald head and knocked the bald head directly to the ground.

After Guasheng overturned the bald head, the officials from the Shiro Bingbei club who had been chasing the bald head just now finally caught up.

"Tie this guy up and put it into the clubhouse." Gua Sheng ordered to these officials, "Also-search this guy's body and uncover all the money bags stolen by this guy."

"Yes!" After the officials responded in unison, they swarmed up to suppress the bald head, and while tying up the guy with twine, they fumbled up and down on him.

In a short while, he found out three different styles of money bags from the bald body.

The evidence was complete, the bald head was drooping, his face was bloodless, like a **** that had been defeated in a fight, and the officials from the Shiro Soldiers Club next to him were allowed to **** him to the club.

Guasheng did not follow her companions back to the club.

Instead, he retracted the wooden knife in his hand to his waist, let out a breath, and then slowly turned around.

As soon as she turned around, she saw Ogata and Amachi standing behind her.

Looking at the two of Ogata, a look of surprise appeared on Guasheng's face.

"It's a coincidence." The color of astonishment only appeared in Guasheng for a while before it turned into a faint smile, "We meet again."

"Yeah." Ogata responded with a smile, "It's a coincidence indeed."

"Look at you like this. You came to Yoshihara for something, right? Do you need my help?"

"You can see this?" Ah Ding asked in surprise.

"How can I say it is an old man who has worked in Yoshihara for a long time." Guasheng smiled, "Which people are here for fun and who are here to do business, I will know at a glance."

"Your eyes are very poisonous." Ogata raised the big box of steamed buns in his hands. "We are here to help a tea house deliver steamed buns."

"Send steamed buns...Which one are you going to send to?"

"Sakuramon House." Ogata replied.

"Sakuramon House... It's a little bit distant."

After that, Guasheng turned around, then raised his hands to Ogata and Amachi.

"Come with me, I will take you to the Sakura Gate House."

"Ah, that's not necessary." Ogata said quickly, "We have already asked about the way just now, and we know how to get to Sakuramon House."

"It's okay." Gua Sheng waved his hand proudly, "You just helped me at noon today, so I should help you with this little favor."

"Anyway, I am just patrolling aimlessly in Yoshihara."

"Taking you to Sakura Gate House does not hinder my work."

"It's just like patrolling the road from here to Sakuramon House."

"And—if I lead the way, there are many benefits."

"For example: no thief would dare to approach you."

"At the same time, you won't be harassed by those annoying fans."

"Then I'll trouble you." Just after Gua Sheng's words, Xu Yi said with a serious face.

...

...

Under the lead of Ogata and Amachi Yuguasheng, when heading to Sakuramonya——

Edo, Yoshihara, Shirobei clubs.

The Shiro Bingbei Clubhouse has 3 floors.

In a hidden room on the third floor, three people are sitting on the tatami.

2 old men and 1 young girl.

"It's been a long time, Genichi."

One of the old men spoke enthusiastically to the other old man in front of him.

"The last time I met... when did I come? I forgot all about it."

"I forgot too. I just remember that there were not so few black hairs on your head."

The only girl in the room was Lin who accompanied Genichi to the Shirobei Club.

And the two old men were Shiro Biebe, the director of Genichi and Shiro Biebe Club.

There are famous traditions in all walks of life in Japan.

It is like this in the literary and art world, it is like this in the martial arts world, and it is like this in the political world.

Every director of the Shiro Biebe Club will automatically use the title "Shiro Biebe".

And the old man sitting in front of Genichi and Lin is the sixth generation of Meshiro Biebe. He is already a 65-year-old man with gray hair.

"Shiro Biebe, let me introduce it to you." Genichi stretched out his hand and pointed at Lin next to him, "This is my grand niece, Lin Kinoshita."

As soon as Genichi finished speaking, Lin respectfully greeted Shiro Biebe.

"Are you the grand niece of Genichi... Not bad! The area around the eyebrows is indeed very similar to Genichi!"

Although Lin had been to Edo many times, it was the first time she came to Yoshihara.

While coming to Yoshihara for the first time, this was also the first time Lin met her old uncle's acquaintance.

After closing the deal with East Japan’s most powerful Yakuza, Tojo Daigo, Genichi told Lyn: As for the entire Edo, you can trust and maybe have the ability to find the location of the Shiranui base, only Shiro remains. One soldier.

Although it is not clear what the relationship between his uncle and Shiro Hebei is.

But from the point that Genichi could say, "The only person left is Shiro Hei, who is trustworthy and may have the ability to find the location of the Shiranui Base", the relationship between the two should be quite good.

Shiro Biebe gave Lin a good first impression.

With a neatly shaved head of Yuedai, the clothes on her body are also neat and tidy, with an elegant atmosphere on her body, and she looks like a very learned and cultivated appearance.

Old friends reunited, and Genichi and Shiro Biebe had a few enthusiastic talks, and Genichi gradually got into business.

"Shiro Biebe, it's true. I have something to ask you."

"Why? Some of your friends have committed the crime. Do you want me to help you find people?" Shiro Bingbei asked in a half-joking tone.

"It's much more trouble than this."

In a word, Gento explained to Shiro Biebe concisely that he hoped that Shiro Biebe could help him find the Shiranui base.

"Looking for a base in Shiranui?" Shiro Bingbei said with a dumb smile, "Genichi, you look too into me."

"I'm just a bad old man responsible for managing Yoshihara."

"Although there are indeed some connections and influences in Edo, all I can help you is to help you get you out of prison for some small crimes and other trivial things."

"Unless it is to arrest those who broke the law in Yoshiwara and escaped from Yoshihara, the people under my command can't just mess around outside Yoshiwara~www.wuxiahere.com~ So for your favor, I will help. Nothing."

"So..." Although Shiro Biebe refused, Genichi's face did not show a trace of regret. "There is no way. Shiro Biebe, forget my request just now. Right."

"Sorry, Genichi."

"It's okay. We only need to apologize to you if we throw a difficult request to you for no reason."

Shiro Bingbei picked up the tea next to him, sipped the hot tea, and said:

"Genichi, because of your request, the atmosphere of our conversation suddenly became serious."

"But it doesn't matter, I will take advantage of this serious atmosphere to tell you some serious things."

Shiro Biebe put down the teacup in his hand, then raised his eyes and cast a serious look at Genichi in front of him.

"Genichi, before you leave Edo, you'd better stay in and out."

"Oh?" Yuanyi raised his eyebrows, "Why."

"Your enemies... are all gathered in this Edo city now." Shiro Biebe's tone was too serious, "If you don't want to cause too much trouble for yourself, just stay in the hotel before leaving the hotel. Go inside."
