I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Although the time is not too long, I have witnessed twice how rich people in this era spread their money.

About 5 nights ago, a middle-aged man with a big belly walked into Yoshiwara swaggeringly surrounded by a group of people with his big belly.

According to someone's introduction, the middle-aged man seemed to be a wealthy businessman from Osaka.

That night, the rich businessman dispersed a huge fortune of 200 taels of gold in Yoshihara

Although Japan in the Edo period pursued the basic national policy of "emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce", the development of the commodity economy was the general trend of the times, coupled with various reasons such as policy loopholes that could be exploited, which led to the expansion of the power of merchants.

Up to now, there has even been a situation where warriors need to rely on businessmen in some places.

Many Xiaofan who are financially tight even owe money to those wealthy businessmen.

"That is to say, but 100 taels of gold is not a small amount to us, how about it? Have you thought about how to spend the 100 taels of gold in the future?"

"Let's have some simple plans"

As soon as Ogata finished speaking, a strange voice suddenly sounded beside him:

"Mashima Goro-kun, someone is looking for you."

Ogata followed the reputation.

A face-to-face young man wearing the special haori of the Shirobei Club walked slowly towards Ogata with a face-to-face middle-aged man.

When he came to Ogata, the middle-aged man first bowed to thank the official who brought him to Ogata, and then turned his head to Ogata and said:

"Mashima! I finally found you! It's me, that Surakushima who wandered with you in Kyoto for a while a few months ago!"

Hearing this middle-aged man's words, Ogata raised his eyebrows.

What the middle-aged man said just now was actually a secret signal.

There is one more reason and purpose for Ogata to work at the Shirobei Clubhouse in Yoshihara now than before.

That is to act as an informant between them and Hasegawa.

Because it is inconvenient for Hasegawa to know where they are currently hiding, it is most suitable for Ogata, who is already lurking in Yoshihara, to act as an informant.

Once Hasegawa finds out about any new trends in Shiranui, he will send people to Yoshihara to find Ogata and get in touch with Ogata.

The contact code is this sentence: I am Surprise Island who wandered with you in Kyoto for a while a few months ago.

The person who uttered this code was someone sent by Hasegawa.

This is the first time that Hasegawa sent someone to find Ogata since he started working with Hasegawa.

Subconsciously thinking that it might be Hasegawa who finally heard the information related to Shiranui, Ogata immediately started his performance, pretending to be surprised, and said quickly:

"It's you, Yudao, long time no see."

"Yujima" nodded vigorously: "I heard that you are now working at the Shirobei clubhouse, so I hurried to find you. Mashima, I have some private matters to talk to you, can you come over with me? "

at the same time

Inside the inn where Ogata and the others lived.

Genichi did not sit in the corner of the room drinking like a waste wood like before.

Instead, he took out the knife oil and maintained his saber.

When Genichi oiled his saber, Shimada knelt aside and carefully looked at the sword held in Genichi's hand.

"No matter how many times I read it, I still feel that Gen-sama's saber is amazing." Shimada swallowed.

The hilt and scabbard of Genichi's sword and Wakizashi are dark red.Dao Tan is the most common round Dao Tan, but there are many complicated patterns engraved on it.

Not only the sword, but the blades of Yuanyi's two sabers also have blade patterns full of Ling Ran's momentum.

Even someone who doesn't know anything about swords can see that the two sabers of Genichi are by no means ordinary.

Hearing Shimada's words, Genichi smiled slightly:

"Of course, my Yangshen and Yanrong are much more powerful than those so-called treasured swords on the market today."

Dao Yangshen, Wakizai Enrong, these are the names of the two sabers of Genichi.

Genichi's Yangshen and Yanrong are the same as Ogata's Da Shitian and Da Zizai, and their length is longer than the general Dato and Wakizashi.

The blade length of Yangshen is 72.

Yan Rong's blade length is 45.

In terms of length, it also matches Genichi's height of 168, which is as tall as Ogata and above the average for this era.

Yuan Yi just drank some wine, his face was flushed red.

However, even after drinking some wine, Genichi's hand that wiped the blade of the knife with oil was still very steady, and he didn't even shake it.

After smearing a thin layer of knife oil on the blade with a neat technique, Yuanyi looked at the "glossy" blade, and suddenly said something for no reason:

"Recently, I've been drinking every day, and it's a bit too leisurely. I think I'm going to be active."

"Huh?" Shimada was taken aback for a moment.

Shimada only joined the gourd house last year, and the time he stayed in the gourd house is not too long. Although the time is the shortest, Shimada is gradually getting used to Genichi's "suddenly popping out sentences with unknown meanings." words" style.

So after being stunned for a while, Shimada's expression returned to normal, and he asked:

"Master Yuan, do you want to go out for a walk? No, my lord has told you: You can't go out casually now. If your enemies find out that you are in Edo now, it will be troublesome."

Regarding Shimada's words, Minamoto smiled without saying a word, showing a meaningful smile, and did not respond, just continued to sweep his eyes back and forth on Yangshen's sword.

After looking at the Yangshen in his hand enough, Yuan Yi raised his right hand again, and oiled the body of Yangshen's sword.

While continuing to apply oil, Asa Shimada said:

"Shimada, can you go out and help me buy something later?"

"Things? Master Yuan, what do you want to buy?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I can only stay here every day, it's really boring, so I plan to buy some interesting toys to relieve boredom."

"Master Genda," Shimada said with a wry smile, "You've already passed the age of playing with toys, right?"

"You are wrong, Shimada." Genichi shrugged, "No matter how old a person is, they all like to play, but the toys they play with will keep changing."

"I'm a relatively pure person, and I love to play with the toys I loved when I was a child."

Shimada, who didn't want to argue with Genichi about nonsense, sighed lightly.

"Forget it, Mr. Yuan, if you want to play with toys to relieve your boredom, I will buy them for you. So what toy do you want, Mr. Yuan?"

"I will make a list for you later, and you can just buy it accordingly."

This chapter mentioned the height of Genichi, so I will list the height of the protagonist and others here, from high to low.

The inn where Edo, Ogata and others stayed

"Master Yuan, I bought everything that was written on your list."

While talking, Shimada placed a big cloth bag behind his back in front of Genichi who was drinking in a corner of the room, and then untied the big cloth bag, revealing a messy scene inside. thing.

Rattles, masks, spinning tops, and flower cards are some of the toys.

"Oh! Thank you for your hard work. Shimada, you came back much faster than I expected."

Genichi hurriedly put the wine bottle aside, thanked Shimada, and looked at the pile of toys in front of him.

"Fortunately, there is a shop that sells these toys not far away." Shimada smiled wryly.

The movement of Genichi and Shimada alarmed Mamiya next to him.

"Master Yuan, what is this?" Gamiya frowned slightly.

"It's nothing, it's just that I've been nestling in my room recently, and I'm bored, so I asked Shimada to help me buy some toys that can relieve boredom."

After that, Genichi put one of the dark red tengu masks on his face from the pile of toys that Shimada just bought for him.

"How? Shimada, does this mask fit me?"

"Well, it's very suitable." Shimada nodded, "This mask fits your face perfectly."

What Shimada said just now was not a compliment.

The size of this tengu mask really matches Genichi's face.

"Well, that's fine."

Minamoto nodded with satisfaction, then took off the mask on his face, and then continued to play with each of the toys that Shimada bought for him just now.

Seeing that Hasegawa sent someone, Xu Bian asked Gua Sheng, who happened to be beside him, to stand guard for him. He went to chat with his friend about something and would be back soon.

For this small request from Ogata, Guasheng had no reason to refuse, and nodded happily in agreement.

Ogata followed behind "Surprised Island", made seven turns and eight turns in Yoshihara, and finally entered a remote alley in Yoshihara.

As soon as he turned into this alley, Xu Jian saw a person standing at the end of the alley.

A man with a generous hat on his head.

The man lowered his head slightly, and the thick bamboo hat could just cover his entire face.So Ogata couldn't see his face clearly.

Just when Ogata was wondering who this person was, when he heard footsteps coming into the alley, the "man in the bamboo hat" raised his head slightly, showing to Ogata his face that was hidden by the bamboo hat just now .

"Mr. Hasegawa?" Ogata exclaimed in a low voice.

The face hidden under the bamboo hat was exactly Hasegawa's old face with many traces of time engraved on it.

Seeing Ogata coming, Hasegawa smiled slightly, and then waved to "Surprised Island" who brought Ogata here.

The comprehensible "Surprised Island" immediately saluted Hasegawa, and then quickly exited the alley, leaving room for Ogata and Hasegawa to be alone.

After "Surprised Island" left, Hasegawa looked around the circle and confirmed that there were only solid earth walls on the left and right, and that there were no other people in front and behind, Chong Ogata smiled slightly:

"Congratulations, I didn't expect you to be able to get the first place in the essay test."

"Honestly speaking, when I found out that you were actually the number one candidate in the literary examination, I was so shocked that my jaw almost dropped."

"Thank you." Ogata smiled wryly.

It has been a while since the essay test was released, so Ogata was not surprised that Hasegawa already knew who the top winner of the essay test was.

"To be honest, when I learned that I won the first place in the essay test, I was so shocked that my jaw almost dropped. I never thought that someone like me who hadn't touched the Four Books and Five Classics for a long time could get the essay test." first name."

As soon as Ogata's words fell, Hasegawa smiled:

"You actually say that you are half-baked, you don't need to be so modest."

Seeing that his truthfulness was once again regarded as being modest, Xu Fanglu sighed helplessly.

"Okay, let's not talk about the essay test for now."

Ogata put on a serious face.

"Let's talk about something serious."

"Mr. Hasegawa, you actually came to Yoshiwara to meet me on purpose. Could it be that you have heard something extraordinary in Shiranui?"

As soon as Ogata's words fell, Hasegawa shook his head:

"Sorry to disappoint you. I haven't heard anything about Shiranui."

"The reason why I came to Yoshihara in person is that I happened to be handling some business in the vicinity just now. After I just learned that the first name of the Wenshi is you, I decided to come to announce the good news to you in person."

"But if you say you haven't heard anything about Shiranui, that's not true."

Speaking of this, Hasegawa put on a more serious tone.
