I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

"I can't guarantee that I will be able to help with other things."

"But I have never been afraid of things related to money."

"Ezo is far away, and it should cost a lot of money to go to Ezo."

"If you need Yi Dao Zhai, I can lend you money without interest or limit."

"Thank you for your kindness." Ogata smiled, "But I'm not really short of money now."

"Because there is still a large sum of money waiting for me to claim it."

4 days later

Kanzheng two years, December 0th.

Edo, Wufu Town Gate, Kitamachi Magistrate Office.

Compared with big cities such as Kyoto and Osaka, Edo has a considerable difference, that is, there are two administrative offices in Edo, the Kitamachi Executive Office located at the Gofumachi Gate, and the Nanmachi Executive Office located at the Sukiyabashi Gate.

Edo also once established the "Nakamachi Prefectural Office", but this Nakamachi Prefectural Office was only short-lived, and it was closed not long after it was established.

Listening to the names, most people would think that the Minami and Hokumachi prefectures are each in charge of half of Edo, the Nanmachi prefecture governs the southern half of Edo, and the Kitamachi prefecture governs the northern half of Edo.

But this is actually wrong.

The Minami and Hokucho Magistrates are not in charge of each half of Edo, they implement the "Yuefan Accountability" system.

To put it simply, they take turns managing Edo in units of "months".

This month, the Kitamachi Prefectural Office is in charge of managing Edo, and next month it will be the turn of the Nancho Prefectural Office to manage Edo, and then the next month it will be the turn of the Kitamachi Prefectural Office

And this month happened to be the turn of the Kitamachi Magistrate to manage Edo.

Ogata walked out of the Kitamachi Magistrate's Office side by side with Omachi.

Ah-Ming held a wooden box in his arms.

Ogata, on the other hand, limped along beside Ah-machi.

"A-Machi." Ogata asked in a low voice towards A-Machi who slowed down his walking speed in order to take care of him, "Do you really need my help?"

"No need." Ah-Ming said without thinking, "Don't think of me as the kind of young lady in a deep boudoir, I can move things several times heavier than this box."

Ogata looked up and down A-Machi several times, and seeing that A-Machi was indeed able to handle things with ease, he didn't say anything more.

"We have become rich." Ogata leaned his lips to A-Machi's ear again, lowered his voice, and continued to whisper in a playful tone at a volume that only he and A-Machi could hear clearly .

The reason why the two of them came out of the Kitamachi Magistrate's Office just now was because they were here to receive the bonus for being the first place in the "Imperial Examination" literary examination.

Both the first place in the literary test and the first place in the military test of the "Imperial Trial" can get a bonus of 00 taels of gold.

Just 2 days ago, the martial arts test that lasted for several days was finally over.

In the end, the person who won the laurel of the martial arts test was actually Chiba, who was acquainted with Ogata and who was currently working with Kondo at the North Kaze House.

Although I heard Kondo say that Chiba is very strong and a master of Beichen Mengliu before, Ogata did not expect Chiba to be so strong that he could win the laurel of the "Imperial Trial" martial arts test.

Although many of the participants in the "Imperial Trial Cooperation" are quite skilled, there are still some people with pretty good skills.

Therefore, it is not easy for Qianye to be able to beat all the heroes and win the first place in the martial arts test.

The end of the martial arts test also announced the successful end of this year's "Imperial Trial".

The government stipulates that the bonuses for the first place in the civil examination and the first place in the martial arts test in the "Imperial Trial" will be distributed uniformly today, two days after the end of the "Imperial Trial".

The release time is today and tomorrow, these two days, no waiting for outdated.

The first name of the text test and the first name of the martial arts test need to go to the Kitamachi Magistrate to pick it up in person. When picking up, they must show the "candidate card" that was assigned to each of them after signing up for the "Imperial Examination". paper.

After absorbing "Immortal" for the second time, Ogata's vitality increased to 2 points.

After the further leap in vitality, Ogata's already terrifying recovery speed became even more terrifying.

After absorbing "immortality" for the second time, after 4 days of recuperation, as of today, there is no wound on Ogata's body that is still in pain.

Except for the deep wounds that still need some time to heal, the other shallow wounds have scabbed, healed, and new flesh has grown.

At the same time, I can walk like a normal person, although I haven't been able to walk for a long time, and I am limping when I walk.Because Ogata also had a pretty deep wound on his left thigh, and this wound hadn't fully healed.

It was thanks to this strong resilience that Ogata recovered to the point where he could barely walk before today.

If he couldn't move around today, then Ogata really didn't know how to go to the Kitamachi Magistrate's Office to collect the money.

The wooden box that A-Ming is holding now contains the 00 pieces of bonuses for the first place in the literary examination.

Ogata originally wanted to come and hold the cash box in person, but A-Machi took the job away with the excuse of "Your injury is not fully healed yet, so don't do too much strenuous exercise".

00 taels of gold may not be enough for those big businessmen to spend that night in a gold-selling place like Yoshiwara.

But for ordinary people like Ogata and the others, 00 taels is undoubtedly a huge sum of money.

If you use it sparingly, it will not be a problem to use it for 0 years.

So Ogata's sentence "We have become rich people" just now is not a joke or bragging.

"Fortunately, my injury recovered quickly enough, and I recovered to the point where I was able to walk before today."

Ogata smiled and shrugged.

"If I missed the time to claim the bonus because I didn't recover from the injury in time, then I might be so depressed that I vomited blood."

"It's a pity that you didn't finish the martial arts test." A-Ming smiled half-jokingly, "If you can complete the martial arts test as well, maybe we can get another 00 taels of gold."

"Don't be too greedy." Ogata responded to A-Ming in the same half-joking tone, "The 00 two gold is enough for us to squander for a while. Be content."

"I know, I was just joking. If you even took the 00 taels of gold for the first place in the martial arts test, I would be distressed. I don't know how to carry so much money."

Ogata had only participated in the martial arts test for two days.

On the third day of the martial arts test, Ogata ran to fight Shiranui.

According to the rules of the "Imperial Trial", those who did not show up on time will be counted as abstentions.

Therefore, on the third day of the military test, Ogata, who went to the decisive battle with Shiranui and failed to continue to participate in the military test, was naturally dealt with by the government as "voluntary abstention".

Ogata didn't feel much regret for not being able to take part in the martial arts test to the end.

The reason why he decided to participate in the "Imperial Trial" is only for two reasons.

The first reason is that this is their agreement with Hasegawa.

Hasegawa needs enough powerful masters to participate in the "Imperial Trial", to destroy Shiranui Ri's attempt to use the "Imperial Trial" to raise their image.

And Hasegawa's wish was indirectly fulfilled by Ogata and the others.

There is no longer any need to worry about Shiranui relying on "imperial trial cooperation" to enhance their image.

Because Shiranui completely disappeared.

As for the second reason, it is Ogata's own reason.

Ogata has never told anyone, including A-Machi, the second reason why he decided to participate in the "Gozen Trial".

The second reason why Ogata decided to participate in the "Imperial Trial" is that Ogata wanted the bonus for the "Imperial Trial".

Ogata has been thinking about his future with A-Machi since he combined with A-Machi at the Gourdya headquarters in Owari.

With one more A-Ming by his side, the daily money spent instantly increased a lot.

If you want to live a good life with A-Ming in the future, having enough money is essential.

However, Ogata is now the Shogunate's most wanted man.

Unless he has been wearing that human skin mask and living as "Mashima Goro", Ogata, who is a wanted criminal, must have missed all legitimate work.

So when he came to Edo and learned that both the top names of the literary and martial arts tests of the "Imperial Trial Cooperation" could get a bonus of 0, which was enough for him and Atachi to live a leisurely life for at least 00 years, Ogata was very excited. Heartbeat.

So when he learned that Hasegawa was looking for a master who was strong enough and willing to participate in the "Imperial Trial", Ogata took the initiative to invite Ying and participated in the "Imperial Trial" in person.

Ogata's original purpose was actually to win the first place in the martial arts test, and to win the 00 taels of gold for the first place in the martial arts test.

For the essay test, Ogata didn't have any expectations.

But who knows that the development of the world is so unpredictable.

Ogata, who didn't have any expectations for the essay test, won the crown of the essay test in a daze.

Because of this, Ogata did not feel sorry for not being able to complete the martial arts test.

Anyway, he also has the 00 taels of gold to get the first place in the literary test, so Ogata doesn't care much about whether he can get the first place in the martial arts test.

The only thing that attracts Ogata in the "Imperial Trial" is the bonus.

False names such as "the first name of the civil examination" and "the first name of the military examination" are dispensable to Ogata.

And even if he got these false names, Ogata would not have any sense of accomplishment.

Because the person who got these false names was "Mashima Goro", not "Ogata Issei".

Ogata is worried that telling A-Machi that another purpose of his participation in the "Oqian Trial" is to make money will cause A-Machi a psychological burden.

That's why he kept hiding it from Ah-Ming.He never told Ah-cho that the reason why he participated in the "Imperial Trial" was for money, so that the two of them would have enough money to live a good life in the future.

"What should we go shopping first?" Ogata joked.

"Anyway, hurry up and send it back to where we live now." Ah-Ming smiled, and also joked, "I always feel uneasy walking on the street with so much money in my hand."

Chapter 435 A-Machi in White Wugou [Burst Update 1W5]

Historical science: Bai Wugou's ancient Japanese women's wedding dresses, you can check the photos on Baidu, very beautiful clothes.

Kanzheng two years, December 11th.

Edo, Hokazeya

Kondo, who was sitting behind the counter, stared straight at the air in front of him.

Like thinking about something.

Chiba, who worked with him in this North Wind House, was sitting beside Kondo with a book in his hand.

Chiba's main job is to serve as the personal doctor of the owner of Beifeng House.

So it's quite relaxing on weekdays.

When I have nothing to do, I will read it leisurely with a book like this.

At this time, Chiba, who was sitting beside Kondo reading a book, squinted his eyes and glanced at Kondo beside him.

Looking at Kondo who seemed to be thinking about something, Chiba let out a low sigh.

"Kondo-kun, didn't someone come here to tell you that Mashima-kun is safe now?"

While continuing to flip through the books in his hand, Chiba continued to say to Kondo without raising his head:

"Do you not believe what the man said?"

"No, I don't believe what that person said." Kondo Naga sighed, "But if I don't see Mashima with my own eyes, I really can't feel at ease."

The "that person" that Kondo and Chiba spoke of naturally refers to A-machi.

On the third day of the martial arts test, Ogata was suddenly absent.

Ogata's sudden absence naturally made Kondo very disturbed.I was worried that Ogata had encountered some accident.

One day after Ogata was absent from the martial arts test, A-Machi suddenly approached Kondo and told Kondo that Ogata was safe now, but something happened and he had to "disappear" for a while.

Kondo asked about what happened to Ogata A-Machi, but A-Machi kept a secret about it.

After reporting safety to Kondo, Acho left in a hurry.

Although A-machi's words reassured Kondo a little, but Kondo always felt uneasy if he didn't see Ogata was really safe with his own eyes.

After Kondo sighed for a long time, he turned to look at Chiba.

"Once I'm free now, I can't help but think about Mashima-kun."

"So Chiba, please chat with me."

"Okay." Chiba nodded without hesitation, "What do you want to talk about? Are you talking about cats again?"

"Cats or something, we'll talk about it later. Let's talk about your 100 tael bonus. Have you figured out how to spend it?"

Relying on his superb swordsmanship, Chiba won the crown of the "Imperial Trial" martial arts test.

Afterwards, Chiba also immediately went to the Kitamachi Magistrate's office to receive his generous bonus of up to 100 taels of gold.

"No." Qianye shook her head after contemplating for a while, "It's strange to say."
