I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Shunliu didn't continue to tell the story, and he stopped talking after talking about it.

Although Shunliu didn't continue the story, Mucun could guess what was going to happen next: it must be that the host was given a severe lesson, and then Sun Qilang and others walked away.

After quietly listening to Shun Liu's explanation of the origin of Sun Qilang's finger pull, Mucun was silent for a while.

Then—

"...I really want to quickly collect enough evidence to help the government completely wipe out the Nagai family."

There was a sigh of emotion.

And after Mucun's sigh fell, Shunliu nodded:

"Me too."

Before they knew it, the two of them had already crossed the intersection of Third Prince Street and came to the outside of Third Prince Street.

Although Three Princes Street is only one mouth away from this street connected to Three Princes Street, the air and atmosphere permeating the two streets are completely different.

On Sanzizi Street, Mucun and Shunliu couldn't help holding their breath.

After walking out of Third Prince Street, the two of them took a deep breath of the air outside, with satisfied expressions on their faces, as if enjoying the very ordinary air outside in the eyes of others.

"... When will we be able to leave the ghostly place of Third Prince Street..." Shunliu murmured.

Mucun did not respond to Shunliu's question.

At this moment, the two of them noticed - at the end of the left hand side, two warriors with swords on their waists were striding in the middle of the street brazenly.

Looking at the two samurai with swords on their waists, both Makimura and Shunroku had longing in their eyes.

"...I don't know if we have the chance to become warriors in this life..." Shunliu murmured again.

This time, Mucun responded to him.

"Impossible." Mucun responded without any hesitation, and this response was mixed with a touch of disappointment, "How can a commoner become a samurai?"

Chapter 292 "Please help me clear Ogata's suspicion!"

"... That's true." After a wry smile, Shun Liu turned his head and said to Mu Cun seriously, "Ah Ba, I almost forgot to tell you. I found a new job, and it's the job of repairing the imperial residence. Start work tomorrow morning."

"Well, good. Finally a new job." Mucun laughed at himself, "If we don't get some new jobs, we won't be able to eat."

……

……

the next morning--

A certain piece of Odoi on the west side of Kyoto.

The people who were hired by the government to help repair this piece of imperial soil began their work under the damaged imperial soil at dawn.

"Hey, look..."

"Those two people are too strong..."

"It's so powerful..."

……

Mucun and Shunliu can easily lift the huge basket full of stones that two adults can barely lift.

Mucun and Shunliu each carried two large baskets of rocks walking like flying, which instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.

As for Mucun and Shunliu, they seem to have been used to the astonished gazes of the crowd, ignoring the comments of the crowd, and concentrating on completing their respective tasks.

Da da da da da da da...

At this moment, a series of dense footsteps suddenly came.

A group of people dressed as officials walked quickly into the construction site where idlers were not allowed to enter.

Because this group of people were dressed as officials, the people in charge of guarding the construction site did not dare to stop them, allowing the gang of officials to enter and exit the construction site.

The leader of this group of officials seems to be a powerful person.

As soon as Ming Yuli stepped into this field, he immediately shouted loudly:

"Who are Yahachi Makimura and Junroku Kunieda!"

Hearing that Ming and Li actually named them, Mucun and Mihachi's faces flashed with surprise.

Shun Liu picked up the towel hanging on his shoulders and wiped the sweat off his face, then strode towards the group of officials without any fear:

"I am Kunieda Junroku. What can I do?"

After Shunliu went up to meet him, Mucun also hurriedly followed.

"I am Yahachi Makimura."

"You two are Yahachi Makimura and Junroku Kunieda? Come with us!"

"What are you doing?" Shun Liu frowned, "We brothers have never done anything illegal."

"I know. So we're not here to arrest you two. We're here to invite you to the execution office!"

"Pursuance office?" Mucun exclaimed.

"Hurry up and obediently follow us." A meaningful smile appeared on Ming Yuli's face, "If I'm right, you two might be on the way to success."

……

……

Although full of doubts in their hearts, Mucun and Shunliu chose to obediently follow this group of officials to the enforcement office.

After arriving at the enforcement office, the two were taken directly to a room that seemed to be specially used to receive guests.

Just when Mucun and Shunliu were wondering why they were taken to the practice place where people like them should not be qualified to come, the paper sliding door of the room was slowly opened.

A middle-aged man with gray temples walked slowly into the room through the opened paper sliding door, and then sat down in front of Mucun and Shunliu.

"...Both, meeting for the first time."

The middle-aged man seemed to see that both Mucun and Shunliu were a little nervous now, so he comforted them softly.

"Take it easy."

The middle-aged man's voice was neither urgent nor slow.

"This is Kamiyama Eshinosuke. You should know who I am, so I won't introduce myself any more."

After listening to this middle-aged man's extremely brief self-introduction, both Mucun and Shunliu showed horror.

Kyoto Town Pursuance—Kamiyama Eshinosuke's daimyo, the two of them naturally have heard of it.

While Mucun and Shunliu were still immersed in horror, Shenshan then said softly:

"The two are Yahachi Makimura and Junroku Kunieda."

"...Are you the one who invited us to the enforcement office?" Mucun said in a deep voice, "Why did you bring the two of us to the enforcement office?"

As if Shenshan didn't hear Mucun's voice, he continued to say to himself:

"Makimura Yahachi, Kunieda Junroku—a pair of Yakuzas on Sanji Street who don't belong to any family."

"Because of achieving a feat of gaining a foothold in the chaotic place of Third Prince Street without relying on any family, and only relying on one's own force and ingenuity, he has become a well-known existence in the world of Yakuza in Kyoto."

"There is another very important reason why you are well-known among other 'peers' - the behavior of the two of you has been very strange."

"As a Yakuza, I never do anything harmful."

"The way to make a living is to find work everywhere."

"Whether it's repairing the imperial residence or transporting timber, in short, as long as it is hard work, I never refuse."

"What a strange couple—that's what the rest of the Yakuzas on Third Prince Street say about the two of you."

When Mucun and Shunliu heard this, their faces turned dark.

"Why do you know so much about the two of us?" Shun Liu said in a deep voice.

"I know far more things than you." A meaningful smile appeared on Shenshan's face, "I also know——half a year ago, suddenly a mysterious person secretly provided me with Plenty of criminal evidence concerning the 'Takagi family'."

"In addition to the criminal evidence, this mysterious man also told me the locations of the various strongholds of the Takagi family, how many weapons they have, and how many subordinates they have."

"These two are very smart. They knew that I, Shenshan, was the least likely to have an affair with Yakuza in the entire Kyoto Prefecture, so they found a channel and directly handed over various intelligence and criminal evidence of the 'Takagi Family' to me. .”

The expressions on the faces of Mucun and Shunliu both changed.

"Thanks to the help provided by this mysterious person, I, who just wanted to clean up the various Yakuza forces in Kyoto, was able to wipe out the 'Takagi Family' smoothly."

Speaking of this, Shenshan's eyes froze.

"This mysterious person...is the two of you, am I right?"

"...It seems that you really put in a lot of effort to investigate the two of us." The vigilance contained in Mucun's gaze towards Shenshan was too high.

"Master Shenshan, did you call us here just to thank us two for helping your government bring down the 'Takagi Family'?" Shun Liu asked in a joking tone, "If so, then No need."

"That's not true." Shenshan chuckled a few times, "If it's convenient, you can tell me—do you plan to bring down another Yakuza family in Kyoto recently?"

"Why should we tell you such a thing?" Shun Liu asked without thinking.

"If you are worried that I and those Yakuzas will betray the two of you, then you don't need to worry about it."

Shenshan chuckled.

"I know so many things about you. If I wanted to betray you, I would have sold you all long ago."

"Besides, my name of 'Mingfu' is not enough to earn your trust in me?"

After listening to Shenshan's words, Mucun and Shunliu both fell silent.

After being silent for a while, Shun Liu was the first to break the silence:

"...That's true." Shun Liu's tone was somewhat mocking, "If you wanted to betray us and put us to death, you would have sold us all long ago. And the sacred mountain that is deeply admired by all people It's also unlikely that adults will join forces with Yakuza."

"The Nagai family." Mucun said softly, "The Nagai family is our current target."

"Have you collected enough criminal evidence about the Nagai family?"

"Not yet." Shun Liu responded this time, "But it's coming soon."

"Why are you dealing with these big families?" Shenshan continued to ask, "You don't belong to any Yakuza faction, even if these big families are brought down, it won't do you two any good, right?"

"The two of us didn't risk our lives to deal with these behemoths for the so-called 'benefits'." Mucun's tone gradually became firm, "We hate these fish and meat guys, so we To beat them—it's as simple as that."

"...Hahaha." After staring at Mucun and Shunliu with meaningful eyes for a while, Shenshan suddenly laughed, "You two are really interesting!"

"I'd like to ask you another question - you are all just civilians and shouldn't have surnames. How did you get your surnames?"

"...We took it ourselves." Mu Cun said.

"Why did you give yourself a last name?"

"...Because we want to be samurai." After several hesitations, Shun Liu clenched his teeth and squeezed out words, "Both of us dream of becoming samurai!"

"So Ah Ba and I each thought of a surname for ourselves."

"Having an extra surname can give us a feeling that we are closer to the goal of being a 'samurai'..."

"Although Ah Ba and I also know that this is nothing but self-deception..."

"Civilians are civilians...Even if we hang our lives on the line and fight until we die, it's impossible for Hachi and I to become samurai..."

Shenshan once again cast a meaningful look at the two people in front of him.

Shen Shan straightened up his crooked body.

Shen Shan, who returned to the state of sitting upright, continued to say solemnly:

"After you secretly handed over the criminal evidence and various information of the 'Takagi Family' to me half a year ago, I noticed the two of you."

"After half a year of intermittent investigations, I finally managed to find out what the two of you are doing."

"I appreciate both of you."

"You are brave and resourceful."

"Possess a heart of hatred and hatred that many Yuli and Tongxin do not have."

"And only with the strength of two people, we can collect the criminal evidence of the 'Takagi Family' that is enough to bring down the behemoth of the 'Takagi Family'. The efficiency of this investigation is really better than those officials in our Kyoto Prefecture too much."

"So I'll just say it straight: I'm going to use all the network resources I have to help you two tamper with your household registration."

"Change the household registration of both of you from commoner to warrior."
