I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Ogata intends to save enough 4 skill points, and then upgrade from "advanced" to "master".

After checking the experience points he had just obtained, Ogata closed his personal system interface.

As soon as the personal system interface was closed, Ogata's stomach made a soft "goo".

"I'm a little hungry."

Ogata raised his hand to touch his stomach.

Perhaps it was because tonight was catching thieves again, and it was also because of the officials who tortured Bian Huo to pay the thieves, Ogata's physical exertion was a bit heavy.

At this moment, Ogata could clearly feel the fire of hunger burning in his belly.

Mucun didn't know how long he was going to negotiate with Hasegawa, so Ogata decided to find something nearby to eat.

After exiting the alley where he was currently, and turning a corner, Xu came to a fairly popular street.

According to Ogata's estimation, the current time is around 21:30 in the evening.

On modern Earth, nightlife has only just begun at this point in time.

But in the Edo period, this time was considered late at night.

However, even though it is late at night, Edo is still alive and well.

It would be better to say that night is when Edo shows its other kind of vitality.

At night, many people who have been tired all day will call on their friends and take them to have a drink together.

Some fierce people even go to the next one after drinking one, going to many izakayas all the way, and drinking until the next morning.

One very important reason why Edo is still so vibrant at night is that many Edo people in this era are "Sunlight Clan".

During the Edo period, three types of currency were circulated: gold, silver, and copper.

To use the Chinese language of the modern earth to make an image metaphor, there are three completely different types of currencies, the Japanese yen, the US dollar, and the euro, which can be used to buy things.

The exchange rates of gold, silver, and copper, which are popular in the market, fluctuate frequently.

That is to say, the 10 coins in your hand can still buy 2 sushi today, but after a while, you may only be able to buy 1 sushi.

Because the value of the currency fluctuates greatly, there is no way to preserve the value, and because of the character of the Edo people, many Edo people choose to enjoy themselves in time and do not save money at all in order to prevent the money in their hands from devaluing in the future.

In addition, it is very popular in this era to work on the same day and get paid on the same day, so many young people who have no family pressure have spent a clean slate tonight after receiving today's salary.

Hence the saying "Edo people don't spend overnight money" was born.

In other words, the reason why Edo's nights can be so prosperous is also thanks to the existence of these "sunlight tribes".

After turning onto this fairly popular street, Ogai saw two drunk samurai ahead.

The faces of these two soldiers were as red as a layer of blood smeared on their faces. It seemed that half of the bones in their bodies had been pulled out, and they were "moving" forward little by little like two puddles of mud.

While "moving", the two warriors continued to utter nonsense.

"It is said that hiccup Lucia is going to send troops to capture the enemy of Ezo"

"The country of Lucia? Which country is that?"

The rest of the passers-by, when they passed by these two warriors, seemed to be avoiding some "giant filth" and stood far away from the two warriors, and buried their heads down, not daring to look at the two warriors. A samurai glanced.

The reason for doing this is also very simple. I am worried that these two people who are so drunk that their nerves are a little confused will draw their knives and chop them for inexplicable reasons.

Drunken samurai slashing people with their swords for inexplicable reasons is not uncommon in this day and age.

So unconsciously, everyone has developed a consensus to stay away from those drunk samurai, not even look at them.

One of the philosophy that Ogata has always adhered to is to minimize unnecessary disputes and troubles.

After staying away from the two drunk samurai like other passers-by, Ogata looked for small shops and stalls selling food.

After a while, Ogata found a wagashi shop that was still open.

After buying a few Daifuku casually, Ogata took these Daifuku and turned back the same way.

When turning back, Ogata saw a clothing store on the right side of the street.

It's a women's clothing store.

Because the door of this women's clothing store was open, Ogata could see the clothes sold in this clothing store at a glance.

Although Edo in this season is a bit shady at night, the heat in the air during the day, especially at noon, can still make Edo people realize very clearly that summer has not completely left .

It is also because of this that the clothes sold in this clothing store are still summer clothes, and they have not changed into autumn or winter clothes.

A middle-aged mistress stood at the door of this clothing store, yelling and beckoning passers-by to come and visit her store.

After seeing Ogata passing by her shop and taking a few glances at her shop, the middle-aged mistress immediately shouted enthusiastically to Ogata:

"Master Samurai, do you want to come to my store to have a look? I have a new batch of special clothes here!"

"Sorry. I need this for the time being." Ogata smiled and politely declined.

If this clothing store sells autumn and winter clothes, Ogata would be more than happy to go in and have a look.

After all, now that winter is approaching, it's time to buy winter clothes for himself and Ah Ding.

After seeing that this clothing store was still selling summer clothes, Xu Bian lost interest in going in and taking a look.

After politely rejecting the proprietress of this clothing store, Xu Bian continued to carry the big blessings he just bought, and continued to turn straight back to the unobtrusive alley where he was just now.

Edo, Huofu Thieves Change Headquarters

"Then the people from the sixth division pushed my friend very roughly, and once again roughed up the officials in the Shirobei Clubhouse."

"My friend couldn't take it anymore, and finally decided to let your subordinates be quiet for a while."

"But my friend still kept a lot of restraint, only using the back of the knife, and showed mercy, otherwise, even if he used the back of the knife, some people would definitely be seriously injured."

After finishing speaking, Mucun picked up the teacup next to him, drank the tea in the cup, and moistened his throat that was dry due to too much talking.

When telling the specific events, Mucun told the facts.

The members of the sixth division of Huofu Bandit Kai, who insisted on grabbing credit, took the lead in pushing down an official servant of Huofu Bandit Kai, namely Gua Sheng, causing her face to be injured.

Then he was violent with Mucun's friend, Ogata, and pushed Ogata.

The official servants of Huofu Thief Gai attacked the people of Shirobei Club twice in a row, and Shirobei Club started to fight back.

Of course, Mucun still carried out some "artistic processing".

For example: Gua Sheng's injury was exaggerated.

In Mucun's mouth, Guasheng, who was pushed down by Huofu Thief Gai, covered his injured face and stood up tearfully. In short, it was exaggerated to make the people at Shirobei Clubhouse very pitiful and weak.

But Mucun's "artistic processing" has also had an effect.

After learning that his subordinates actually made a female servant of the Shirobei Club cry, Hasegawa's frown, which was already deeply frowned, frowned even deeper.

When Mucun finished speaking and drank tea to quench his thirst, Hasegawa said in a deep voice:

"Makimura, is what you said true?"

"It's absolutely true." Mu Cun put down the teacup in his hand and nodded vigorously, "There were many passers-by watching there, and you can find many witnesses to support my words."

After being silent for a while, Hasegawa quickly got up and came to the door.

After pulling the door open in one breath, Hasegawa shouted outside the room:

"Yamazaki!"

As soon as Hasegawa's words fell, Yamazaki, who had been waiting not far away, rushed to Hasegawa's body and knelt down on one knee, waiting for Hasegawa's order.

"Is Natori still recovering?"

"Natori-kun, he just woke up."

"That's right, you bring me here by name."

"Yes!"

After accepting the order from Hasegawa without any hesitation, Yamazaki quickly shrank within Hasegawa's field of vision and finally disappeared with a neat footstep that did not match his age.

It didn't take long for Yamazaki's figure to reappear within Hasegawa's field of vision and quickly grow in size.

Natori followed closely behind Yamazaki.

Natori, who was knocked unconscious by Ogata's blow, just woke up.

Because Ogata's subordinates were merciful, Natori didn't feel any discomfort except that the place where he was cut was still a little red and swollen.

As soon as he woke up, he learned from Yamazaki that Hasegawa was calling him.

When he learned that Hasegawa was calling him, an ominous premonition rose from Natori's heart.

After seeing Hasegawa and seeing Hasegawa's calm face, the ominous premonition in Natori's heart became more intense.

"Natori, come with me. Yamazaki, you step back first."

"Yes!" After bowing to Hasegawa, Yamazaki retreated to a position some distance away from the room.

As for Natori, he followed Hasegawa into the room tremblingly.

After entering the room, Natori saw a strange burly man.

"Namori."

Hasegawa sat cross-legged in front of Natori.

"You want to rob the young monk Ju, who was captured by the officials of the Shirobei Club tonight, and then take the lead in molesting the officials of the Shirobei Club, am I right?"

Hearing Hasegawa's question, Natori immediately replied like a conditioned reflex:

"I do not have."

As soon as Natori's voice fell, Hasegawa immediately said:

"Natori, if you insist that you didn't take the credit, I will personally investigate what happened in Yoshiwara tonight."

Hearing Hasegawa's words, Natori's face changed slightly.

"If I find out that you really didn't take the credit, then I will help you out and investigate the servants of Shirobei Club who beat up my subordinates to the end."

"But if I find out that you did steal credit and you lied to me, you should know what the consequences will be?"

The candlelight from the candle behind Hasegawa hit Hasegawa's body, stretching Hasegawa's shadow long.

The shadow elongated by the candlelight pressed down on Natori standing in front of Hasegawa like a mountain.

It is obvious that Hasegawa is sitting and Natori is standing, but the atmosphere surrounding the two makes people feel that Hasegawa is standing and Natori is sitting, and it is Hasegawa looking down on Natori.

Under the oppression of Hasegawa's momentum, drops of cold sweat began to emerge on Natori's forehead.

"Natori, I'll give you another chance."

"Answer me, did you steal the credit tonight? Did you take the lead in roughing up the officials in Shirobei Clubhouse?"

A strong look of struggle began to appear on Natori's face.

The naturally hanging hands were clenched tightly.

After an unknown amount of time passed, Natori knelt down on the tatami mat in Dogeza posture with a mournful face.

"Master Hasegawa! I'm very sorry! I, I, I'm obsessed with ghosts!"

"Our Sixth Division has not caught enough criminals for a long time."

"In order not to lose to the first, second, and fifth groups who have repeatedly made outstanding achievements, my subordinates and I have made every effort to track down Ju Xiaoseng!"

"My subordinates and I spent so much energy and time trying to catch Ju Xiaoseng, but in the end, the officials from the Shirobei Club were caught."

"I feel very unwilling, so, so"

"That's why you decided to rob Kiku-san, who was captured so hard by the officials of the Shirobei Club?" Hasegawa answered the rest of his unfinished sentence in place of Natori, "Natori, I don't need to tell you, you should know it, right? Stealing the credit of other organizations and departments is absolutely not allowed."

"I'm really, really sorry! It's my obsession!"

While apologizing to Hasegawa with the loudest voice he could, Natori's mind was filled with puzzlement.

Tonight is actually not the first time he has taken credit for other departments and organizations.

This kind of thing of grabbing the credit of other departments and organizations has actually been done many times before.

But the few times he did it before, Hasegawa didn't find out.

One of the very important reasons is that the departments and organizations that Natori robbed were only small departments.

It is completely incomparable with the Huofu Thief Kai to which he belongs.
