I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

After pulling out their respective weapons, the two of them rushed towards the interior of the Kitamachi Prison Office from different directions like two arrows leaving the string.

Soon, shouts and exclamations resounded in every corner of the Kitamachi Prison Office

Lou Luo's saber is very fast, and all the officials he finds are often killed before they even have time to defend themselves.

This extremely fast speed of cutting the knife did not match his burly figure.

Gao Qing is also the type whose swordsmanship style does not match her body shape very much.

His figure is bigger than Lou Luo.

But he is the kind of "skillful" warrior.

Defend, dodge, and counter with skillful skill.

Every time a knife is used, it will definitely take the life of an official, and every knife must hit a vital point.

Toyotomi didn't make a move.

With such a slow pace, he slowly stepped into the Beiding Enforcement Office, and handed over the task of exterminating all the officials in the Beiding Enforcement Office to his two subordinates.

"It's indeed one of Edo's magistrates." Toyotomi said in a complimenting tone while looking around, "It's really impressive."

"Who are you?! Why did you attack the execution office?!"

Just as Toyotomi was looking at everything around him with interest somewhere in the Kitamachi Magistrate's Office, he suddenly heard an angry shout coming from the front.

Toyotomi turned his gaze forward.

I saw a young official who should be about the same age as him, probably only in his early 20s, glaring at him.

The officer drew his saber in his hand, put on a mid-section posture, and pointed the saber pointing directly at Toyotomi.

Under normal circumstances, these officials who are responsible for maintaining law and order are not allowed to draw their knives casually.

Just like modern police are not allowed to draw out their guns to shoot casually.

Officials in charge of maintaining law and order are usually only allowed to use ten-handed and stabbing tools, and they can only draw their swords after obtaining permission from their superiors.

The only exception is Huofu Thief Kai.

Huo Fu Thief Kai is the most special public security organization, because it is mainly responsible for dealing with those vicious thieves and arsonists on weekdays, so the officials of Huo Fu Thief Kai have the privilege to draw their swords freely.

In addition to being able to freely draw their swords, the officials of Huofu Thief Kai have the privilege of being able to use various weapons that ordinary officials cannot use, such as iron cannons.

Now it is a special situation where unidentified thieves suddenly invaded the Beiding Magistrate's Office and killed anyone they saw, so the young official didn't care about the "don't draw your sword casually" rule now.

Toyotomi briefly looked at the young official.

Just based on the young official's posture and the way he held the knife, he could see that the young official still had some accomplishments in swordsmanship.No wonder he had to ignore the prohibition of "don't draw your sword casually", and prepared to draw your sword to fight against the enemy.

"This is the Kitamachi Magistrate's Office in Edo!" The young official once again shouted righteously and righteously, "Thieves like you will never be allowed to do anything!"

After that, he quickly ran towards Toyotomi with a knife.

"I don't hate a righteous person like you."

After the words, which were somewhat joking, Toyotomi spread his legs leisurely and stood still.

The young official who slid forward, swung his knife at Toyotomi without any hesitation after he entered his best attack range.

His slash was extremely powerful, one could tell at a glance that it could only be slashed by someone who had practiced swordsmanship for many years, or who had a unique talent in swordsmanship.

But such a powerful blow was easily dodged by Toyotomi.

Toyotomi quickly moved to the right, dodging the young officer's slash.

The next moment he dodged the slash, Toyotomi suddenly raised his right hand and put it on the purple handle of the sword at his left waist.

The knife flashed.

The knife ejected from the sheath cut the main artery in the young official's neck in a cold arc.

Blood poured out like a fountain, splattering on the wooden wall next to it.

The neck was cut open, and the young official didn't even have a chance to scream, so he fell forward slowly.

After beheading the young official with one blow, Toyotomi swung the knife in his hand downwards heavily, sprinkled the blood attached to the blade, and put the knife back into its sheath.

Then, as before, while walking slowly into the depths of the prison, he looked at the interior layout of the Edo Kitamachi prison with great interest.

Gao Qing: "Lord Toyotomi."

Gao Qing and Lou Luo returned to Toyotomi almost at the same time.

"How?" Toyotomi asked his two subordinates, "Have they all been wiped out?"

"It's cleared up." Gao Qing replied immediately.

"Very good." Toyotomi nodded lightly, then turned to look at a wall next to him.

There is nothing on this wall.

There is neither writing nor hanging.

"Just choose here."

Looking at the wall in front of him, Toyotomi showed satisfaction on his face.

"Gao Qing."

"exist!"

"Go and drag one or two corpses of official servants." Toyotomi took out a huge brush from his arms.

This brush is brand new, and you can tell at a glance that it is a brush that has just been bought.

"Yes!"

"Lou Luo, you should go outside and take precautions. If any support from the government arrives, please notify me immediately."

"Yes."

After receiving the new mission, Lou Luo's head with the canopy nodded lightly, and then walked out slowly.

Not far away was the corpse of a man just killed by Gao Qing, and Gao Qing quickly dragged the official's body over.

Toyotomi used the official's blood as ink, and scribbled something on the wall in front of him with the recently bought brush in his hand.

Soon, Toyotomi scribbled all the things he wanted to write on this wall.

"Very good." Toyotomi took two steps back, looked at what he wrote on the wall several times, and smiled happily, as if he was very satisfied with what he wrote.

At this moment, Lou Luo ran towards him quickly.

"Lord Fengchen." Lou Luo said, "Reinforcement from the government is here."

"So fast?" Toyotomi raised his eyebrows, a little surprise flashed in his eyes, "The speed of the officials is a little faster than I imagined."

After Toyotomi and the others rushed into the execution office, shouts of anger and screams rang out one after another, and it was inevitable to bring reinforcements from the government.

It's just a matter of going faster or slower.

"Now that the weather is getting colder, I originally wanted to burn this Kitamachi prefectural office, so that the people of Edo can warm up."

After finishing speaking, Toyotomi casually threw the brush in his hand aside.

"Since the officials of the shogunate are here, forget it."

"Anyway, the most important painting and this line of writing have been completed."

Toyotomi cast his eyes on the wall in front of him again.

To be precise, it was cast on the graffiti he just finished on this wall.

"Just use this painting and this line of words to tell the shogunate and the world."

The corners of Toyotomi's mouth turned up slowly, revealing a smile that was only cold.

"The war 200 years ago is not over yet."

"Gao Qing, Lou Luo. Let's go."

With that said, Toyotomi turned and left.

Gao Qing and Lou Luo followed quickly.

"Lord Toyotomi." After quickly following, Gao Qing asked, "Should we continue to stay in Edo?"

"No." Toyotomi said, "It's meaningless to stay here any longer."

"It's been a while since we left Ryukyu."

"It's time to go back."

Speaking of this, Toyotomi paused as if he remembered something.

Then he changed into a half-joking tone and said to Gao Qing beside him:

"By the way, it's been a long time since I heard from those friends in Ezodi."

When talking about the word "friend", Toyotomi specially emphasized his tone.

"Afterwards, send someone casually to Ezo, and say hello to the friends over there."

Hanshichiro is a power in the Edo Minami Town Magistrate's office.

It was his turn to be on the night shift tonight.

A while ago, because of the "Imperial Trial", it attracted many ronin.

The increase in the number of ronin made Edo less peaceful during that time.

From time to time, I hear news that there are ronin in a certain place making trouble.

Now the "Imperial Trial" is over, and the ronin who were originally attracted by the "Imperial Trial" are slowly leaving.

With the departure of the ronin, the security situation in Edo gradually returned to the state before the "Imperial Trial Cooperation".

Hanshichiro hadn't received any news of disturbances by wanderers from other places for two full days.

Just when Hanshichiro thought that he would still spend his shift tonight in peace, an urgent report suddenly reached him who was sitting at the Nanding Enforcement Office.

Originally, Hanshiro was still a little sleepy because of the late night.

But after receiving this urgent report, he instantly lost all sleepiness.

The content of the urgent report he received was: Unidentified persons attacked the Kitamachi Prison Office.

When he first heard the urgent report, Hanshiro thought he had heard it wrong.

He had heard too many reports of raids on shops and banks.

But it was the first time in his life that he heard the urgent report of the attack on Kitamachi.

After confirming the contents of the emergency report again and again, Hanshichiro quickly gathered all the people and rushed to the Kitamachi Enforcement Office.

After seeing the four officials lying outside the gate of the Kitamachi Magistrate from a distance, Hanshichiro felt his heart sink.

Next to the four officials who were lying on the ground, there were two Gang Yin who rushed to the scene before him. They were checking the four officials who were lying on the ground with serious faces.

Seeing Hanshiro coming, the two Okabiki stood up and bowed to Hanshiro.

The police system in the Edo period was divided into four levels from top to bottom: Daibantou, Yuli, Tongxin, and Okabiki.

Saluting to Yori was nothing more than a conditioned reflex for the lowest-ranked Okabiki.

Hanshichiro waved his hands to the two Okabiri, and immediately asked them after waving the courtesy:

"how is the situation?"

"These 4 people are all dead." One of the 2 people glanced at the 4 officials who were lying at his feet, "They were all killed by one blow, and the murderer's sword skills were very high."

"The rest of the people are now in the execution house." Another person replied, "It seems that the situation inside is not very good."

After listening to the reports of the two Okabiki, Hanshichiro's already ugly face became even uglier.

"Thank you for your hard work." After briefly comforting the two Okabiki who reported the situation to him just now, Hanshichiro led the group of subordinates he had just brought over and strode into the Kitamachi Magistrate's Office.

After walking a few steps, he saw another corpse

After learning of the arrival of the chief, the officials who arrived at the scene one step before Hanshiro came to report the situation to Hanshiro.

After listening to the reports of his subordinates, Hanshichiro had a basic understanding of the current case.

First of all, all 14 officials who were in charge of staying behind at the Beicho Magistrate died tonight.

And all of them were killed by one blow, which shows that the murderer's swordsmanship level is quite high.
