I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Red and white mantou is one of the famous Kyoto confectionery.

Although it is called steamed buns, it is filled with red bean paste, which is a bit like the bean paste buns in Ogata's previous life.

Red and white steamed buns are divided into red and white. Although there are two different colors, the taste is actually the same.

Oujian gnawed on the red mantou, while Ah-machi gnawed on the white mantou.

Finally found the second pharmacy, after Ogata stuffed the few steamed buns left in his hand into his mouth, he said to A-machi:

"A-Ming, wait for me outside, I'll go back as soon as I go."

"Yeah." A-Machi nodded obediently.

Ogata took out the two prescriptions in his arms and strode towards the pharmacy in front of him.

On the other hand, A-Ming obediently obeyed Ogata's instructions, stood on the spot, holding half of the remaining steamed buns with both hands, slowly nibbled on them, and waited silently for Ogata's return.

Not long after, Xu came back.

"How?" Ash asked.

Ogata shook his head.

Even though he missed again, Ogata's face still didn't show the slightest bit of annoyance.

"Let's go." Ogata smiled, "Let's go to the next place."

"Ok!"

……

……

"Ah, Ayi! Look! It's a water seller. Let's go there and buy something to drink."

Not far in front of Ogata and Atachi, an old man who is not too young is carrying two large wooden barrels on a shoulder pole.

While walking forward slowly, he drank loudly, "Sell cold water, sell cold water".

"Water seller..." Ogata muttered, "It just so happens that I'm a little thirsty too."

Water sellers carried buckets of clear water or sugar water through the streets and alleys of the city. This is also a common sight in cities in this era.

The so-called water sellers, as the name suggests, are vendors who specialize in selling drinking water on the street.

In the hot summer, being able to drink cold water is a different kind of enjoyment.

Therefore, in such a big summer, the water seller can be said to be one of the most popular vendors.

Ogata and A-Ming leaned over, and the water seller immediately warmly introduced to Ogata and them:

"Good morning! Two guest officers! I have clear water here!"

The water seller patted the bucket hanging in front of the pole.

"There's also sugar water!"

Then he patted the bucket hanging behind the pole.

"What kind of water do you two guest officers need?"

"You still have sugar water here? Then I want sugar water!"

"Then just give me a bowl of water." Ogata said.

"okay!"

The water seller put down the two large buckets hanging on the shoulder pole, and then took out two clean bowls, containing a bowl of clear water and a bowl of sugar water respectively.

After Ogata and A-Machi drank the water from their respective bowls, A-Machi wiped his mouth and praised: "It tastes good."

……

……

"Ayi! Take a look! It's the ear picker!"

"Can these two small sticks really help customers remove earwax...Let's go, people's ears are picked out, it's nothing to look at."

"It's the first time I've seen Caier people, let me watch for a while."

……

……

"It's Lao Wan who sells candy..." Looking at the scene in front of him, Ah Ding couldn't help but smile, "It's a pretty good dance."

In a metropolis like Kyoto, the most indispensable thing is these sugar vendors who sell sugar.

Because there are many colleagues, in order to attract customers as much as possible, these sugar sellers chose to wear strange clothes and do various weird moves, which can be said to show their special skills.

There are "Tang people selling sugar" dressed as foreigners, there are "fox selling sugar" dressed in fox doll costumes, and there are "grandpa selling sugar" dressed as grandfathers...

The so-called "Lao Wan sells sugar" refers to men disguised as women, selling sugar while dancing on the other side.

Ogata and A-Ming have now met a sugar seller called "Old Man Selling Sugar".

The facial features of this young sugar seller are quite beautiful, so even if he is wearing women's clothing, he will not give people a feeling of "spicy eyes".

At the same time, the dance is also good.

Not bad appearance, not bad dance, successfully attracted a lot of guests.

Many passers-by, including Ogata and Atachi, were attracted by this sugar seller.

After watching the dance of the sugar seller for a while, Ogata and the two bought a candy from the sugar seller.

……

……

Ogata and A-Machi played along the way to find the pharmacy.

When you come across something interesting, stop and watch.

When you see something delicious, you buy it and eat it.

"Journey to find people" slowly turned into "Journey to Kyoto"...

Although playing crazy, Ogata still did not forget the important task of finding the pharmacy.

Ogata and the two have gone to 4 pharmacies so far.

It's a pity that they got nothing.

But Ogata is not in a hurry, after all, Kyoto is very big, and there are still many pharmacies that have not been visited yet.

Therefore, I continued to maintain a leisurely pace with A-Ming, eating, drinking and playing while looking for the pharmacy...

……

……

Kyoto, the official office of Kyoto Town.

Hasegawa Heizo and his subordinates were currently in a certain room in the government office, recovering their strength, while waiting for the arrival of the Kyoto town magistrate Kamiyama Koshinosuke.

Please help, you can steal book tickets like stealing vegetables, come and steal the book tickets voted for by friends’ book tickets.

After waiting like this for an unknown amount of time, footsteps from far to near finally came from outside the room.

With a bang, the paper sliding door was pulled open.

Shenshan's tired face finally appeared in front of Hasegawa and the others.

"Long time no see." Hasegawa smiled at Shenshan, "It's been several months since Ji Yiyi left at the beginning of the year."

"Yes." A faint smile appeared on Shenshan's somewhat tired face, "Hasegawa, I hope I can be like you, always so energetic, really, obviously we The two are about the same age, why is your state always like a young man who can't run out of energy..."

"I guess you miss the days when you were in charge of the luggage in Kii." Hasegawa said in a half-joking tone.

"You're right." Shenshan shrugged, "It's much easier to manage the army's supplies than to manage the entire capital."

After the ogre rebellion broke out on Butterfly Island in Kii, the shogunate, who had no time to deploy manpower, urgently transferred Kamiyama, who was in charge of the Kyoto town, to Kii to manage the deployment of the army responsible for monitoring Butterfly Island.

Now the shogunate, under the leadership of the old Nakamatsudaira, has changed its strategy against Butterfly Island or the ogre against Butterfly Island.

Prisoners are no longer driven to Butterfly Island and there are not so many prisoners available.

Instead, resources were used in the research on ogres and the tracking of He Shi and He Zhi, the master and apprentice.

About two months ago, the work of managing the army's supplies in Shenshan was suspended and replaced by another person.

After all, Kamiyama's job is carried out by the town of Kyoto, and Kamiyama has been kept in Kii, after all, there is a sense of violence in it.

Not only has the logistics officer of the army changed, but the general of the army has also changed.

After the old Naka Matsudaira Sadanobu returned to Edo, the "former general" Inamori also returned to Edo with Matsudaira Sadanobu.

After another person took over the job of managing the army's supplies, Shenshan returned to his old place, Kyoto.

The first task of Shenshan after returning to Kyoto is to find He Shi and He Zhi, the master and apprentice.

This task was sent by Matsudaira to Shenshan.

The only piece of information the shogunate has about the pair of master and apprentice is that they have a Kyoto accent, and they are most likely natives of Kyoto.

Since it is very likely that he is a native of Kyoto, it is natural to entrust the matter to Kamiyama, who is the head of the Kyoto town, to handle the matter.

And Shenshan is also very conscientious. After returning to Kyoto, he conscientiously launched a comprehensive search in Kyoto, looking for the master and apprentice named He Shi and He Zhi.

After half a month of searching, the result was nothing.

There is no doctor named He Shi and He Zhi in Kyoto at all.

Since there are no these two doctors, the only two possibilities are:

The master and apprentice did not live in Kyoto at all, or they used false names, and He Shi and He Zhi were not their real names at all.

These two people might not even be masters and apprentices.

Apart from the names of Heshi and Hezhi, and having a Kyoto accent, the shogunate had no other clues about the pair of master and apprentice.

The only clue of the name was cut off, and Shenshan had no choice but to report the result to Matsudaira Sadanobu who was far away in Edo.

And Matsudaira Sadanobu seemed to have expected such a thing to happen a long time ago. He did not criticize Shenshan in any way. He only replied "Thanks for your hard work" in a letter, and told Shenshan that there is no need to search for these two people in Kyoto. Yes, for these two people, he will find another way in the future.

After the search for the pair of master and apprentice is over, Shenshan's life has finally returned to the normal track of the past, and he has experienced the life of managing all kinds of things in Kyoto.

After having a brief conversation with Hasegawa for a while, the two of them seemed to have made an agreement in advance, and slowly ended their greetings and got down to business.

"Hasegawa."

Kamiyama casually sat cross-legged in front of Hasegawa, while Hasegawa's subordinates headed by Imai knelt respectfully beside them.

"You should have visited the scene of the crime, right? How did it turn out?"

"The results are pretty good." Hasegawa said in a deep voice, "Although it has been a while since the case happened, I still found a lot of interesting things at the scene."

After finishing speaking, Hasegawa took out a neatly folded handkerchief from his arms, and handed it to Shenshan.

"This is?"

"It's something I found at the scene of the crime." Hasegawa said in a deep voice, "Open it and see for yourself."

According to Hasegawa's instructions, Shenshan slowly opened the handkerchief.

After fully unfolding the handkerchief, some black powder came into view of Shenshan.

He moved the black powder under his nose and smelled it lightly, and an unpleasant smell immediately entered Shenshan's nostrils.

"This is... gunpowder...!" Shenshan said in a deep voice.

"That's right." Hasegawa nodded, "We found a lot of gunpowder powder at the scene of the crime. The fire in Luowai should have been caused by the explosion of gunpowder."

The reason why Hasegawa led his subordinates all the way from Edo to Kyoto was because a strange thing happened in Kyoto in mid-May.

Suddenly there was a loud noise in an empty room outside Luo.

With the loud noise, flames erupted from the empty room and swept away to the surroundings in an instant.

Fortunately, there was no wind that day. In addition, it had just rained and the weather was humid. Thanks to the concerted efforts of the town firefighters in Kyoto, the fire was successfully contained before the disaster expanded.

Because the buildings of this era are basically made of wood and paper, once the fire gets out of control, it is basically a natural disaster.

The Tianming fire that burned 2% of the buildings in Kyoto two years ago is the best example.

Because the occurrence of this small fire in Kyoto is really full of strangeness.
