I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Master Samurai, please tell me."

"Dousuke, why do people here look so strange when they see the samurai sword on my waist?"

After stepping into the burned area and meeting the residents living in the burned area, Ogata and Atachi found that the residents living in the burned area seemed to be afraid of Ogata, who was a samurai. Behind the samurai swords, all of them were pale.

Although in this era, samurai are the ruling class of this country, but Ogata has traveled to many places in Japan so far, and this is the first time he has seen people who are so afraid of samurai.

"...Master Samurai, don't you know?"

"You should be able to hear my accent, right? I'm a foreigner, and I don't know everything about Kyoto."

"...To welcome Munemuku Tokugawa, the daimyo of the Owari Clan who came to Kyoto again this year to watch the Gion Festival, the governor of Kyoto... that bastard Toda Tadahiro issued a very hateful order."

Dosuke said softly.

"In order not to let Munemu Tokugawa discover that there are still so many people still living in the burned area without a fixed place, eating and sleeping in the open, Toda Tadahiro commanded the samurai to move those who lived in the burned area closest to the Nijo Imperial Palace to The people were all driven away."

"The samurai's method of driving away the residents of the burnt area was quite rough. Anyone who refused to leave obediently beat and kicked..."

"The brutality of the samurai has aroused everyone's dissatisfaction."

"Although there were some people who couldn't bear it, they also made a resistance, and took up wooden sticks and stone bricks to resist the warriors."

"But these people are not many, only some civilians..."

"How can civilians with sticks and bricks be opponents of warriors with swords..."

"The resistance of these people was quickly suppressed."

"The reason why everyone is so scared when they see the knife in your waist is because everyone thinks that the samurai are coming again and driving them away..."

Speaking of this, Dosuke turned his head and looked at something far away beside him.

Ogata followed Dosuke's line of sight and looked together.

What Domesuke was looking at was a majestic and majestic city.

Looking at this majestic and majestic city, Ogata muttered softly in a volume that only he could hear clearly:

"Erjo Castle..."

Nijo Castle, also known as Nijo Imperial Palace, is the residence of the shoguns of the Edo Shogunate in Kyoto.

It is a symbol of the power of the Edo shogunate.

Even if you are far away, you can still see this majestic and magnificent city.

Even if you are far away, you can still see the candlelight in Nijo Castle at this time.

Ogata had heard from Makimura and the others that just tonight, Tokugawa Munemu, the daimyo of the Owari Clan, will hold a grand banquet in Nijo Castle, and all the dignitaries and dignitaries in and around Kyoto will attend the banquet.

The 28 ninjas in Shiranui who are currently cooperating with the shogunate are in charge of the defense of Nijo Castle tonight...

At this moment, the waiters in Nijo Castle should be preparing for the banquet that is about to start.

"The shogunate... is too much..."

There was a strong cry in Dosuke's voice.

Ah Chu, who was standing beside Douzhu, was also looking like he was about to cry.

Ah De stretched out his two little hands, wrapping Dosuke's naturally hanging small fist.

"Obviously everyone is human, but they insist on creating ranks of warriors, commoners, and filthy ones!"

"In order to hide my ugliness, I drove everyone away without explanation!"

"If you don't want Tokugawa Zongmu to see that there are still such people living in no fixed place, then find a way to help us rebuild our homeland! Just drive us away from under our noses, what is it!!"

Mamesuke roared at Nijo Castle.

However, Dousuke's roar was destined not to reach the ears of those in Erjo Castle or the Erjo Castle...

……

……

There are 2 prisons in Kyoto.

These two prisons are located in the north and south of the city respectively, and are under the jurisdiction of the enforcement office.

At this moment, the prison in the south of the city ushered in a group of uninvited guests.

A middle-aged man in a special black uniform led two youths towards the prison in the south of the city.

The two youths following the middle-aged man, one is handsome, the other is extravagant and has an excellent temperament.

Because these two youths were so eye-catching, when this group of people marched towards the prison in the south of the city, they attracted the attention of many people—especially women.

Of course—there were also some knowledgeable people who recognized the black uniform of the middle-aged man walking in front, and looked at the middle-aged man with curious and doubtful eyes.

"Look...that's the uniform Huofu Thief changed..."

"Isn't the Fire Bandit Kai mainly active in the Edo area? Why are there officials from the Fire Bandit Kai here in our capital?"

"Although Huofu Thief Kai mainly operates in Edo, they occasionally go to various parts of Japan to capture some important criminals..."

"Is there any vicious arsonist or thief fleeing to the vicinity of Kyoto..."

……

The middle-aged man and the two young men who followed him turned a deaf ear to the discussions of the people around him.

These three people strode to the gate of the prison in the south of the city, and the two guards guarding the gate vigilantly tilted the long wooden sticks in their hands.

The slanted wooden sticks of the two guards pressed together to form an "X", blocking the middle-aged man and the two youths at the door.

Before the two guards had time to ask who was coming, the middle-aged man said loudly:

"The chief officer of Shimonohuo Fu Thief Kai-Hasegawa Heizo."

"Let your Ishide bring a sword—O Hiroyuki come in and see me, I have something urgent to discuss with him."

Chapter 314 The Unspoken Rules of the Warriors【1 words today】

The names of Huofu Thief Kai and Hasegawa Heizo were naturally known to the two guards.

After learning that the person who came turned out to be the chief of Huofu Thief Kai, the faces of the two guards immediately showed panic. After a simple discussion, one of the two guards stayed where they were and continued. While guarding the gate, another person quickly walked through the gate.

Not long after, the guard who had just dodged into the prison came back.

The guard who returned to the sight of Hasegawa and the others did not come back alone.

He also brought back an official who was a little thin and about 30 years old.

The official arrived at the door, looked at Hasegawa Heizo in front of him, and then quickly bowed and saluted:

"Master Hasegawa, long time no see."

Just after the official's questioning sound fell, Hasegawa smiled slightly, and said to the end:

"It's true that I haven't seen you for a while. O-kun, how are you doing recently?"

Seeing that Hasegawa still remembered himself, Wei immediately felt a sense of euphoria.

This is not the first time Oo has seen Hasegawa.

In order to pursue the criminal, Hasegawa came to Kyoto several times.

As the prisoner in the south of the city, Ishide's tail with a knife, in order to cooperate with Hasegawa's work, had had a relationship with Hasegawa several times.

He is just a little stone in a prison in Kyoto with a knife, except for having supreme power in the prison in the south of the city, he is not even a fart in other places.

In terms of rank, it is not in the same order of magnitude as Hasegawa, who is the dignified leader of the Huofu Thief Kai.

The lofty Hasegawa not only remembered his name, but also greeted him cordially—this made Tai feel like his body was about to float.

After Hasegawa and Oo exchanged simple greetings for a while, Hasegawa cleared his throat and said seriously:

"Mr. Wei, I came to your land this time to investigate the case."

Hasegawa will come to Kyoto to investigate the weird fire that happened in Luowai 2 months ago--I have received similar rumors a while ago.

So I immediately realized that the case Hasegawa mentioned should be the "Luowai fire case".

After solemnly nodding, he turned his tail sideways and made a "please" gesture towards the door behind him.

"Master Hasegawa, this is not a place to talk. We will talk after we go in. Hmm...Master Hasegawa, who are these two?"

Just to add a word, the chasing book app I am using recently, [ \Mi\Mi\Reading\app \mimiread\ ] caches books and reads offline!

The "these two" mentioned at the end refer to Asai and Shimada who followed Hasegawa.

"These two are my subordinates." Hasegawa said, "It's just because I have some special tasks for them later, so I didn't let them wear the uniforms we changed for the thieves."

"So that's how it is." Wei nodded, and walked ahead, leading Hasegawa and his group through the gate, through the long corridor, and into a room for guests.

As soon as Oo closed the door, Hasegawa said directly to Oo:

"I suspect that a prisoner currently in your prison is related to the case I am investigating, so I will temporarily bring this prisoner up for interrogation, and I will return it to you after the interrogation."

Hearing Hasegawa's words, Oo solemnly nodded:

"Master Hasegawa, who do you want to mention?"

Huofu Thief Kai is a special armed security organization.

When the officials of the Huo Pirates Reform are investigating the case, the big names and officials from all over the country need to fully cooperate with them.

Things like coming to the prison to interrogate people are one of the most common things that the officials of the Fire Bandit Reform do.

When Hasegawa came to Kyoto several times to investigate cases, he also went to the two major prisons in Kyoto to arrest people several times.

When I saw Hasegawa visiting them just now, I vaguely guessed that Hasegawa was going to come to their prison to demand someone again.

Hasegawa did not directly name the prisoner he wanted to mention.

Instead, he handed a piece of paper to Tail.

Tail unfolded the piece of paper, and seeing the name written on the paper, Tail's face instantly turned pale.

"Yahachi Makimura? This..."

"What?" Hasegawa asked in a calm tone, "Don't tell me that Yahachi Makimura is not locked up with you."

"I've checked in advance, and Yahachi Makimura is being locked up with you right now."

"This...Makimura Yahachi is indeed being detained in my prison...but...the big boss has warned me: no matter who comes, you can't release Mumura Yahachi..."

Hearing Wei's words, Hasegawa frowned slowly, and thought to himself:

--Knew it……

Hasegawa had already guessed that Abbe Riri, who was trying to disgust Mucun himself and used Mucun to disgust the holy mountain, would definitely greet the prison people in advance and let the prison people take care of Mucun.

Because he had already guessed the reason for Abe's move, Hasegawa didn't panic or panic after hearing what Oo said just now.

"I don't care who he is." Hasegawa's tone became harsh all of a sudden, "Bring me Yahachi Makimura!"

Hasegawa is the chief of Huofu Thief Kai, and the base of Huofu Thief Kai is in Edo, which is a special security organization directly under the shogunate.

Therefore, Hasegawa didn't need to give any face to Abe Riri, who was a big boss in Kyoto Prefecture.

In terms of official rank, Hasegawa is far ahead of Abe Riri.

The two also belong to different bureaucratic systems. Even if they offend Abe Riri, it will not bring any loss or negative impact to Hasegawa.

But the tail is different.

The tail is Ishiide of Jonan Prison in Kyoto with a sword.

Hasegawa dared not give Abe Riri any face, but Oo couldn't.

Whether it is Hasegawa or Abe, they are existences that cannot be offended by Oo.

All of a sudden, I was sweating profusely, and my heart was under great pressure, and I didn't know what to do.

Seeing that his face was pale, his lips moved wildly but he couldn't utter half a word, the expression on Hasegawa's face gradually softened.

"...Let's do this, Tail."

Hasegawa slowly approached Tai, then stretched out his arm to hook Tai's shoulder.

"You should also know that we, Huofu Thief Kai, have our own dedicated prison."

"I know." Although he didn't know why Hasegawa suddenly mentioned this, Oo nodded obediently.
