024 One of the chess pieces

In the third year of Bunku, after the Shinsengumi led by Serizawa Ya was cleaned up with the muddy side of this new organization, Beloved judged that it was a worthy investment object and mobilized a part of the funds to facilitate the Shinsengumi.

After that, without asking for any payment, the woman hurried back to Edo, where the roots of the family were rooted.

Beloved bids farewell to Kyoichi and comes to her house alone, she is unimpeded in the house, and no one will stand in the way of her beloved. People of the younger generation will call out to her when they see her, and those who are younger will call her a teacher.

Only here can the beloved be fully respected, and no one will look down on the person who gives him something to eat, and the beloved is such a person.

At a young age, he studied under Sheng Haizhou. Yingnaigong's beloved has stayed abroad many times, and her knowledge, knowledge, and thoughts far surpass the world's ability, she refused to be retained by Katsu Haizhou and returned here, dragging the dying family back from the brink of collapse, and the girl was only fourteen years old that year.

Her achievements make others frightened, so if nothing else, her beloved will definitely be the next head of the Eagle Palace.

"Father, I'm back."

Beloved directly found Takanomiya Leping, her adoptive father, who is also the head of the current Takano Palace.

"......" Leping put down what he was doing, he now had a stomach full of questions to ask this unlucky child.

"Here, specialty."

"Say it."

"What?" Beloved sat directly across from her father, pretending not to know anything.

"Don't pretend, you haven't reassured your father since you've been causing trouble all these years." Lehei shook his head with a headache, he almost didn't lift the table a few days ago when he learned that his beloved had embezzled money to help the Shinsengumi in Kyoto.

"Do you know how many fame names have been made in less than a year since the birth of this new selection group? In order to maintain development, he has done a lot of excessive things to the businesses at the bottom. ”

The foundation of Takanomiya was these ordinary merchants scattered all over Japan, so the Shinsengumi were notorious to them. The rabbit died and the fox was sad, and the merchants in Kyoto were in distress, and the merchants in other regions naturally could not give the Shinsengumi a good face.

This beloved decision was disobedient.

"Haven't they been put in order?"

"You still don't understand that kind of thing?"

Leping said

"You said you didn't want to meddle in the country's politics, and although the Shinsengumi are insignificant, your current behavior is contrary to your original decision."

Beloved rejected her teacher Sheng Haizhou because she didn't want to choose either the Restoration or the shogunate.

She chose neutrality, precisely because she clearly understands the turmoil of today, so she hopes to become an enlightened person who can retreat from the storm of the times, after all, the real excitement is after this, and it is foolish to leave prematurely.

"If we can open the market in Kyoto, then no one will be able to shake the position of Takanomiya after everything is over."

There is no passion in love, what she has been pursuing is stability. But now she has changed a little, or she can no longer hold back her impatience.

Asakura Nanami, a woman who dared to take a knife in the undercurrent of Kyoto, touched her beloved with such courage.

"You chose the shogunate?" Strictly speaking, the Shinsengumi were a force under the shogunate.

"Nope."

Beloved didn't choose the shogunate.,If she really chose the shogunate, she wouldn't have chosen the Shinsengumi to cooperate.,With the financial resources of the Eagle Palace, she should be able to attach herself to a more powerful object.。 The choice of the Shinsengumi was too low-key.

"I choose the ultimate good."

Support the Shinsengumi.,It's not the name of the Takanomiya that I love to use.,Everything is handed over to Kyoichi to borrow the name of the businessman under him.,The people who know the truth are the top of the Takanomiya except for the internal members of the Shinsengumi.。

"Whether it is the shogunate or the Restoration, I have to do the "business" on both sides. ”

Leping hadn't seen her daughter smiling so happily for a long time, and she remembered that the last time her beloved smiled like this was when she followed her teacher on a sea ship to go to sea.

"I'm going back."

Next, Xinai found Kyoichi as her kendo teacher, and she was desperately practicing kendo every day, and many people were wondering if she was going to give up literature and martial arts?

Then at the end of the day's lessons, Beloved will personally process the collected materials.

These documents contain information about low-ranking samurai and merchants who have gone bankrupt and closed down in Edo and other places over the years. Pieces are piled up, even if it's just a very superficial content, but this amount is still terrifying. Thanks to the tentacles of the Eagle Nonomiya family, all walks of life can do this kind of thing.

Quickly skimming through the materials, she would pull up some and give them to Kyoichi for him to investigate more deeply.

"Miss, what are you doing?" After a month of lasting, watching his beloved become more and more haggard, Kyoichi, who had never interfered with his beloved, still couldn't help but want to find out.

"Kyoichi, what kind of person do you think could become a righteous person of the Restoration?"

"Dissatisfied with the shogunate?"

"Probably, but I don't think the vast majority of people are dissatisfied with the shogunate?" Beloved spoke, but never looked away from the documents.

"In Japan, there are only a few elites who have been able to do things since ancient times. These people believe that they are chosen by destiny, for example, that Katsura Kogoro, and my master Katsu Haizhou, their thinking is indeed advanced, but they still can't get rid of this concept in their bones, except for these people, there is still a part of the rest who have hatred for the shogunate, they don't know what the new era is, but hatred is enough to drive them to act, of course, this is only a small part. ”

She closed the copy at hand

"In the end, most people are just forced by life, they don't really understand the meaning of the Restoration, they just want to support their families, and such people are the most hopeful to be controlled."

Kyoichi understood what it meant to be beloved.

"Find a person you can control and let him provide information from within the gang of people in the Cheung Chau Domain......"

"That's right, that's it, it's easy to do, as long as you have patience and enough human and financial resources, I have all of these so I can do it."

My love fell in love with a family surnamed Iizuka.

"For example, this family, the male owner is doing small business, her wife is seriously ill and bedridden for many years, and the money he earns cannot maintain various living expenses, but he has still come over these years, and the reason is that his son left home five years ago, and at first he did nothing until he was able to stably ask relatives to send money to the family, and then I can no longer find information about the son of this family, obviously deliberately hidden. Coupled with the fact that the location of his activities is basically the same as that of the people of the Cheung Chau Domain, it is possible that his son is the kind of chess piece that we can control. ”

She closed her eyes and thought for a moment

"Tomorrow, Mr. Iizuka's family goes bankrupt, which is really very unfortunate."

The next time she goes to Kyoto, she will gather all the pieces that can be used as bargaining chips.

——————————————————————

A few days later, Iizuka received a letter from his father, and he received letters from home every month, and this time, as usual, he was able to listen to the trivial things his family had to say, which was also a comfort to people like him who were working in a precarious position.

It is not good news that can be said in the letter.

Kenshin happened to pass by and saw Iizuka's sudden face, a man who usually looked a little timid had never shown such an expression.

"Iizuka, what's wrong?"

"That, Scarlet Village, it's okay, it's just a trivial matter." He was incoherent.

"I've been thinking about it before...... Myself...... How can I say it, am I really competent? ”

His face changed and changed, and he wanted to laugh and finally cried.

"Scarlet Village, it's really hard to live without money."

My mother, who had been seriously ill for many years, died.

With no money to buy her medicine, Iizuka's father could only watch his woman weaken and die little by little.

When the "food" can no longer be eaten, people should find another way out.
