Chapter 226: Negotiation
"Tread, step, step"
A uniform clog collision sound made Yoshiko Matsuda, who was about to speak, stop, turned her head to look at the source of the sound, and found that it was Mei Mizuno from the two female stewards.
Matsuda Yoshiko was very impressed by this bewitching girl, and the other party's face made her a little tempted as a woman.
Baiji Sana on the side heard the footsteps and immediately stopped, and then waved his hand at Matsuda Yoshiko and trotted away, the little girl has an instinctive rejection of all girls who look prettier than her, not to mention that the other party is still a woman who shares a man with her.
"Miss Yoshiko, my family has already left the customs, and now I am bathing and eating, and my lord asked me to tell you that we can meet in an hour. ”
After answering Chi Shang's true words, Mei Mizuno didn't say anything and left directly, for this woman named Matsuda Yoshiko, she didn't like the other party very much, because she felt a cold in this woman, a vicious coldness.
It's a strange and paradoxical feeling, but Mei Mizuno makes sure she doesn't feel wrong, just like when she was a child at the Custom Hall, those smiling and sinister 'mothers' behind them, who would scold and whip them every time the guests dispersed.
For the memories of the customs hall, Mei Mizuno feels that she will never forget it for the rest of her life, so she is particularly disgusted when she sees this Miss Yoshiko with a strong 'mother' smell on her body.
Looking at Mei Mizuno, who turned to leave, the corners of Matsuda Yoshiko's mouth twitched, and she said secretly in her heart: "After all, she is still a little girl, although she is very smart, she still can't hide some things, and it is all shown on her face, she should be very disgusted with me, is it afraid that I will rob her adult? hehe......"
After retracting her gaze, Matsuda raised her head and landed on the top floor of the castle, where she knew it was the castle tower. In ancient times, it was a meeting place for rulers like the daimyo lords, and the young onmyoji is now in it.
"I'm really looking forward to meeting for a while, I don't know what kind of man it is. ”
After Chi Shang Zhenyi had just put away the refined ghost urn, he asked Keiko Oriri to order someone to prepare bath water and food. In the past few days, in order to refine this ghost urn, he has been sleepless, and his body is even more tired, so he needs to relieve his fatigue and replenish his physical strength now.
"Husband on the second day of your retreat. There was a Miss Yoshiko Matsuda who came to visit, and the other party said that she had made an appointment with you, and because she didn't see her husband, this Miss Yoshiko Matsuda stayed in our castle, husband, when do you see her?"
Keiko's wife's words made Chi Shang Zhenyi immediately remember that there was such a thing, and he still asked the other party to come over, but because of refining the ghost urn, he completely left this matter behind.
"Since she's been here for three days, I don't care if I'm waiting a little longer, let's wait until I'm done showering and eating before seeing her, Keiko remembers to tell Misa to get me more food. I'm hungry right now. ”
"Hi"
An hour passed quickly, and it was Chi Shang Makai and Matsuda Yoshiko that they met.
Looking at the woman with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes opposite him, she was full of elegance in her gestures, like a girl in a deep boudoir, it was difficult for people to regard her as a female boss, and even Chi Shang Zhenyi himself did not see any social atmosphere in the other party.
Because of his previous no-show, out of apology, Chi Shang Zhenyi was the first to speak: "Miss Yoshiko is really dazzling, I really didn't expect that the head of the Tokyo Matsuda Group was such a beautiful woman, it's really surprising, and I apologized to Miss Yoshiko for the previous no-show." ”
After finishing speaking, Chi Shang Zhenyi bowed his head slightly to Matsuda Yoshiko opposite. Apologize.
Although there are not many words and actions, Matsuda Yoshiko knows that this is the biggest apology that the other party can make.
Through the understanding of the previous three days, Matsuda Yoshiko knew that the young onmyoji in front of her had a very big background. Not only does his family have a history of nearly 800 years, but his current identity is also the imperial onmyoji of Emperor Hirohito, with the title of Doctor of Onmyo.
If such a character was in the past, it would not be possible to get close to it at all with the identity of Matsuda Yoshiko, and now she is a group leader to put it mildly, and she is also a group of ronin leaders to put it mildly. The difference with the other party's identity is too big.
"The head of the Chi Shang family is polite, the head of the family must be busy with a lot of things, and it is understandable that there are some unexpected things, and Fangzi is already very happy to see the head of the house. ”
Looking at the woman on the other side who spoke without leaking, Chi Shang Zhenyi could feel that the other party was sophisticated, stronger than many people he had seen, and she was indeed a very unsimple woman.
"I don't know what Miss Yoshiko wants to see this time, I heard Takayama Ryuichi under my subordinates, and Miss Yoshiko has secretly investigated me, I don't know what this means?"
Hearing the true meaning of Chi Shang, whose tone had become obviously cold, Matsuda Yoshiko understood what the other party meant, it was nothing more than a warning to beat herself, and she often used this method on her own subordinates, so she was very subordinate.
"The head of the Chi Shang family has said, how dare Yoshiko investigate the head of the family, Yoshiko is just looking for the murderer of her late husband, and she happened to find the Sakura Cannery, and she definitely didn't intend to investigate the head of the family. ”
Regarding Matsuda Yoshiko's answer, Chi Shang really turned white in his mind, and the other party was obviously using the matter to build a bridge, and he was connected with himself through the matter of Matsuda Yoshiichi.
"Oh, I don't know what the results of Miss Yoshiko's investigation were, and has you been sure who killed Mr. Matsuda?"
Getting off the donkey down the slope, Chi Shang Zhenyi also replied, and both of them were now pretending to be confused.
Hearing Chi Shang's sincere rhetorical question, Matsuda Yoshiko gently put down the teacup in her hand, raised her eyes and said softly: "The murderer was naturally found, but Yoshiko was helpless against the other party, and the other party wanted to annex the property left by her late husband." ”
Hearing Matsuda Yoshiko's words, Chi Shang really knew that the main topic was coming soon, so he immediately asked.
"I don't know who the murderer is, he is so cruel, not only killing people but also wanting to annex other people's family businesses. ”
Looking at Chi Shang's serious appearance, Matsuda Yoshiko secretly screamed 'cunning' in her heart, and then said: "Actually, we have been preparing for accidental death since the day of our debut, so Yoshiko is not too sad about the death of her late husband Matsuda Yoshiichi. ”
"But this time, I didn't expect the other party to want to annex and wipe out our Matsuda Group entirely, so Yoshiko had to come to seek the help of the head of the Chi Shang family, hoping that the head of the Chi Shang family could help Yoshiko, a weak woman. If the head of the Chi Shang family can help, Yoshiko will be very grateful. ”
After finishing speaking, Matsuda Yoshiko directly bent down and bowed, and Chi Shang Zhenyi immediately saw a large piece of snow white from the neckline of the other party's wide kimono.
"Miss Fangzi is polite, and she can't look down on those who take advantage of others. However, there is such a small number of people in the castle below, and it is a little too strong to fight with those social villains, and it is very unsafe for the castle to lack security, after all, there are a lot of rioters in the market now. ”
Hearing Chi Shang's sincere words, Matsuda Yoshiko's eyebrows jumped slightly. She was a little speechless about the other party's evaluation of 'villain'.
In Matsuda's opinion, those who came to trouble their Matsuda gumi were villains, and that underlying meaning meant that their Matsuda gumi themselves were not a good thing, and they were really thorny everywhere.
The head of the Chi Shang family laughed, how dare Fangzi let the family master's guards help. ”
"Fangzi just wants the head of the family to help Fangzi say hello to those adults in the official face, don't let those lords of the government be too embarrassed afterwards, let's just Matsuda Group, and the rest of the things will be solved by Fangzi herself, please rest assured. ”
Matsuda Yoshiko's explanation, Chi Shang Zhenyi was not much surprised. The other party wants to get help from him, and what can he help the other party is nothing more than his own identity and his own connections, but whether it is worth it or not for this Matsuda Yoshiko to ask for someone is worth it, this matter has been wandering in his mind.
Chi Shang can really guess that the people behind the big gangs like Matsuda Gumi, who have the heart to annex Matsuda-gumi, must not be simple people, it is very likely that they are those parliamentarians and consortia, and only these people can secretly support those big gangsters. The rest simply don't have this ability.
Matsuda Yoshiko below looked at the silent Chi Shang Zhenyi, and felt a little anxious, she had already delayed a lot of time in this castle now, if she couldn't convince the other party this time. It will be difficult for his own Matsuda group to survive this.
Even if those two gangs are repelled afterwards, they Matsuda Group may not be able to continue to occupy the fertile hole card of Minato, so Matsuda Yoshiko is now very afraid that the other party will reject her.
Time passed minute by minute, and just when Matsuda Yoshiko felt that she was going to say something more, she finally heard Chi Shang speak sincerely.
"Don't tell me about the illusory rewards, you just need to tell me now. If I help you, what benefits can I get from it, think about it, and then you only have one chance to bid. ”
After saying this, Chi Shang Zhenyi picked up the teacup in front of him and began to taste the tea carefully, not even looking at Matsuda Yoshiko anymore.
Matsuda Yoshiko below heard Chi Shang's sincere words, and her heart immediately fluttered, she didn't expect that the other party didn't bargain with her, and directly forced her into a corner, which made all the words she had prepared in advance useless.
Matsuda Yoshiko didn't doubt what the other party said, she believed that if the reward that she said directly didn't reach the price in the other party's heart and made the other party dissatisfied, then she would definitely not have a second chance, this was a promise from a superior person, and she could hear it.
Chi Shang Zhenyi was sipping tea, and at the same time checking Matsuda Yoshiko's face with his mental power, he found that this woman's demeanor, which had been cold and unchanged, began to appear a little chaotic, although it was not very obvious, he could still see it, which showed that the other party's heart was no longer calm.
Once an opponent panics, then he is not far from losing, and Chi Shang is now waiting for Yoshiko Matsuda to give him a bargaining chip to admit defeat.
Quietly in the castle tower, neither Chi Shang Zhenyi nor Matsuda Yoshiko spoke, and the two who seemed to be thinking about things the same on the outside, but in their hearts they were completely different, one was stable and expectant, the other was irritable and hopeless, completely opposite.
I don't know how long it took, Matsuda Yoshiko looked up at Chi Shang Zhenyi who was sipping tea above, she felt that she was probably going to bleed heavily this time, she knew that if she couldn't get the other party's heart-warming reward, the other party would definitely not help.
Matsuda Yoshiko just thought about what she could come up with that made the other party happy, money, beautiful women, treasures, she had thought about them all, but she quickly excluded them.
Because Matsuda Yoshiko knew that these things were not enough to impress the head of the Chishang family, as the head of an ancient family, it was impossible for the other party's eyes to be covered by these ordinary things.
And apart from these things, the only thing Yoshiko Matsuda can think of now is the 'Matsuda Gumi'.
Yes, Matsuda Yoshiko guessed that now she can only get the help of the other party if she takes out the Matsuda group, although she is very unwilling, but she has no choice now, between destruction and survival, things are so cruel.
In order to continue her dreams and hopes, Yoshiko Matsuda chose to live, but when she made this decision, her spirit became significantly lower.
"Chi Shang family master, the only thing that Yoshiko can handle now is the Matsuda group, and I'm afraid you won't be able to see the rest of the things, so Yoshiko is willing to dedicate half of the Matsuda group to you, the head of the family. ”
Chi Shang Zhenyi was carefully blowing the tea leaves floating in the teacup, and after hearing Matsuda Yoshiko's words, he slowly raised his head and said, "It's not enough, just these are not enough." ”
Matsuda Yoshiko, who was already distressed to death for giving half of her Matsuda group, immediately became fierce when she heard Chi Shang's sincere words, she didn't expect this young family to have such a big appetite, and she couldn't impress the other party even if she paid such conditions, it was really a gluttonous beast.
After calming down her mind for a while, Matsuda Yoshiko said in a rather calm tone: "Then I don't know what the head of the Chishang family wants?"
"Yoshiko has now taken out all her most precious things, and there is nothing else. ”
Looking at Yoshiko Matsuda, whose eyes turned red below, Chi Shang Zhenyi couldn't help but feel that he was forcing the other party so much, was he taking advantage of others, but this idea was immediately abandoned by him, because in Japan, the strong should possess everything, which is something that everyone agrees on.
