10. Justice is not absent
Lu Zeping was let go, because after interrogation, it was found that it was a misunderstanding. In view of this, and as an apology, the camp also gave him a month off so that he could go home to visit his family. In fact, this is tantamount to bowing to his Taishou father, although everyone understands, but no one is not resentful.
Of course, I remember the promise I made to Ye Sizhong, but I can't do it myself, at least not on the surface. So on the night of the third day after Lu Zeping left, I arranged a task for the nine ghosts Zhengxiao......
Of course, not to kill Lu Zeping. I'm a well-bred person, I just asked the Nine Ghosts to care about him, to see how he lives, whether he eats habitually, and if there is anything that needs our care and help. Well, that's it.
On the night of the eighth day, there were a few rat calls outside the window of my house. I pushed open the window, and two people rushed in, it was the nine ghosts Masataka and the female Shinobi named Kite. The two of them saluted me, and the Nine Ghosts Zhengxiao said, "Sir, I have found out."
I nodded, pointed to the kite and said, "You come on." In fact, the nine ghosts must know better, because this kid has a flexible mind, is quite shrewd and capable, I just want to examine the strength of other subordinates.
The kite saluted again, and then said: "Sir, we have observed the target for five days, and his daily life is quite irregular, eating and drinking are very casual, and there are not many places to start. But there was one thing that was very fixed - he had to ride out of the city every day to the western side of the mountain. After saying that, he hesitated, as if organizing the language.
I asked her, "What are you playing?"
The kite was a little embarrassed, muttered a few words, I looked at her, this is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, she is quite handsome, and her figure has also fluctuated to a certain extent...... The Nine Ghosts Masataka glared at her, only to hear her continue: "He always takes a group of people, both men and women, to the mountains and fields...... Go ......" said and blushed.
Yo he! I can't help but feel very interested, this guy is still very trendy! Is Tokyo that hot right now? Gee. I asked the kite with interest, "How do they play?"
The kite kowtowed to the ground, but was silent. I know it's a little too exciting for a little girl, but it's really fun to tease her like this! Ha ha. Seeing this, the nine ghosts had no choice but to say: "In short, in short, it's just nonsense!"
I nodded and continued to ask, "What is the terrain of the West Mountain?"
The kite raised his head, tried to regain his composure, and said eloquently: "The mountains are rugged, but not very high, except for two sharp turns, and the mountains are also very steep!"
I had a good heart, this girl still has a hand, worthy of training, so I then asked, "How is his riding skills?"
The kite replied: "Third-rate riding skills, and I especially like to be reckless, and I always take the lead!"
I already had an idea in my heart, and after a moment of silence, I whispered to them: "These two days, let others watch, you go and prepare something for me!" ……”
Hearing what I wanted, Kite's face turned even redder, but the expression of the Nine Ghosts Zhengxiao was very strange. When he was about to leave, the kite suddenly whispered, "Sir! Need me to stay and serve you? ”
I was drinking water, and when I heard this, I squirted out! It must have been something I asked for that that made them mistaken. I cleared my throat, pulled down my face and said, "You? In another three or five years! I'm not interested in firewood girls! ”
The nine ghosts held back a smile, his face turned red, and the kite didn't dare to raise his head at all, so the two of them went in such a mess. I tidied up my clothes, lay down and prepared to sleep, but I couldn't fall asleep after turning around. I have been tumbling for a long time before falling asleep, dreaming all night, this dream ...... Anyway, you get the idea.
On the night of the third day, the nine ghosts Masataka and Kite came back again, and they brought what I wanted. I opened it, sniffed it, licked it a little, approved of their preparation, and got up and said, "Let's go!"
The three of us immediately went out through the window, climbed over the wall to the outside of the courtyard, and ran all the way in the direction of the West Mountain. Running out of the five miles, a man named Sha Shinobu led three horses and waited in the designated place. The three of us got on our horses and continued on our way. An hour later, we arrived at the West Mountain, where Arashi and Mo waited, and we arrived at the precipitous position we had mentioned.
It's a steep slope, and the direction of coming out of the city to the west mountain is about 25 degrees, and the steep turn at the bottom of the slope is about 30 degrees! The turn is very sharp, it is a sharp turn of about 130 degrees, and this corner belongs to hard left when racing, and the general master is flicking his tail to pass. The road is lined with bushes and is quite dense. I looked at it, and it was pretty much the same as I thought. I called a few people, and I explained it like this. The more they listened, the more strange their faces became, but when they heard the end, they were all convinced.
I turned around and went back with the Nine Ghosts, and the three shinobi prepared according to my arrangement. On the way, I asked the nine ghosts Zhengxiao, where did the other shinobi named Su go? He replied that he had gone to Dongying to contact a trade route. I groaned, and it was quite fast.
When we arrived at the joint location, the sand led the horse away, I ran with the nine ghosts for a while, and when I returned to the camp, I went back over the wall, and the nine ghosts went by themselves.
No words the next day.
On the morning of the third day, there was a sudden explosion in the barracks, and people spread the word of mouth that when Lu Zeping was touring the mountains yesterday, the horses were frightened, and he fell off the cliff with his people and horses, and died a very miserable death! also incidentally exposed the scandal of him gathering people to do that indecent thing. It is said that the Lu family was very embarrassed, refused to mourn, and even did not allow Lu Zeping to enter the ancestral grave! For a while, people's hearts were happy, and they all said that this wicked man, people don't reap the harvest!
In Ye Sizhong's tent, he stared at me with a smile for a long time, and asked, "I am staring at you, you are in the camp every day, how did you do it?"
I also laughed and said, "Trade secrets."
Ye Sizhong was surprised: "Business?"
I shrugged and smiled.
Ye Sizhong thought for a moment, and said, "That's it, don't mention this matter again." It's just that I've been thinking about it for a long time, with your ability and mind, you can be a pillar, why don't you take off your disguise and give it a go? Qi Dudu is a genius in the world, and he will live up to what you have learned in your life! ”
I also thought about it, and then pointed up with my hand and said, "It's not that I don't believe in Qi Dudu, I don't believe in this god!"
Ye Sizhong thought for a moment and sighed: "Everyone has their own ambitions, I don't force it, but you must not do that unrighteous thing!"
I stared into his eyes and said word by word: "If people don't offend me, I won't offend people."
Ye Sizhong was stunned for a long time, then nodded and said, "I believe you!" Sometime...... There will be something you need to do in the future! ”
I didn't say anything, smiled, and held out my right hand to him, rubbing my thumb and index finger back and forth. Ye Sizhong said in surprise: "What does this mean?"
I faintly spat out two words: "Business!"
Ye Sizhong grabbed the inkstone and threw it at me, and scolded with a smile: "You dare to ask this official for money!" Beware that I'll kill you with a cane! ”
I gently took the inkstone, looked at it, and said, "Mortal products, not enough."
Ye Sizhong shouted: "Get out!"
I saluted and was about to roll, but he stopped me and thought for a while: "Before Chinese New Year's Eve, Qi Dudu will come to inspect, and I will recommend you." As for how to plan, it's up to you. ”
I glanced back at him and made another gesture to give money.
Before the saber flew out, I hurried to roll.
At night, the nine ghosts Masataka and Su came to me, and Su reported the matter of contacting the trade route, Kyushu, Shikoku, including Honshu Sakai and other places Several merchants are interested in cooperating, we provide customs channels, they provide commodity channels, and the profits are half open.
I pondered for a moment and told them that the profit could be re-made, but it had to be reliable. Su said he understood. After all, I don't want money, I want to live. After thinking about it, I said that when the channels are unblocked, Ye Gong and his uncle-in-law can take the lead. After all, the road must be left to one's own people first......
In addition, I also made a request to the nine ghosts Masataka, that is, several of them should step up their training in ninjutsu, and I also officially gave him the outline of Iga ninjutsu, for a ninja, this is almost equivalent to regeneration, which is the greatest achievement! Nine ghosts kowtowed until blood was splashed, I asked him to get up and made three demands.
First, as the leader, he trained himself and the five people in his department as soon as possible, and within two years, he must reach the level of upper ninja, and the other five must reach the middle ninja. This is very demanding, but the nine ghosts said that they swear to meet the standard! At the same time, they should also learn Chinese, not to be able to read and write. In fact, at that time, the cultural people of Dongying were proud to be able to speak Chinese and write Chinese poems, and these ninjas were not educated enough, but they also knew a little, and it was not difficult to learn.
Second, he returns to Toei and takes advantage of the destruction of various ninja strongholds to absorb young and reliable new blood. It doesn't have to be much, but it has to be reliable. Nine Ghost Masataka said that he has channels, and there are currently wandering ninjas who have believed it. I nodded and let him do it.
Thirdly, I want him to start building our own intelligence network, and we can also take care of other businesses, for example, our move this time is a good model. The nine ghosts couldn't help laughing, they didn't participate, and they were a little dazed.
The Nine Ghosts talked about the process - in fact, it was very simple, we mixed a lot of drugs that excited the stallion in the diet of Lu Zeping's mount, and used chicken blood as a guide, which greatly enhanced the effectiveness, and the horse ran wilder and more untamable than before. Lu Zeping's diet also added trace amounts of hallucinogenic drugs, mixed with some special products from fur seals, so it was even more difficult to control himself and impatient. At the corner, it was arranged for someone to hide a few rabbits in the bushes in advance, and when the horse came near, he suddenly threw it out, and the horse was not surprised. So, he must have had a good time.
The justice I want will never be absent.
