176. Suddenly

In the afternoon, the Hakata Port wind suddenly rose, and the banners in front of the merchants were blowing, just like the mood of the Hakata merchants.

Last night, two merchants in Hakata Port were hit by fire, and the storeroom and inventory were burned! Watanabe Yoshijo, the owner of Kajo Wood, was only spared, but Daisuke Nitta, the owner of Daisuke Rice House, was not so lucky, because his store and home were one, so after the fire, there was no population left in the Nitta family......

Some businesses broke out into scandals, especially the Masuda Maruyusheng store, where a large number of stinky fish and rotten shrimp appeared in front of the shop. Although Masuda Maru has repeatedly denied it, tearfully stating that he has never used these inferior and inferior ingredients, who believes it? Why do these pickles only appear in his shop?

And according to some well-informed sources, it seems that there are some filthy things in President Ono's house! It is said that early in the morning, the president received a report that there were some accidents inside and out, the details are unknown, but he angrily smashed a tea set that he had always loved! He also angrily beat his beloved stupid son Ono Shentai on the spot and broke his head!

In short, there are many rumors, and there are indeed things that cannot be calmed down in Hakata Port! Is this related to the recent joint meeting of business associations? No one can answer, but someone with a heart has sorted it out, and what happened last night was at the first meeting the day before yesterday, and he publicly accused the guy from the Sun Ji Noodle Restaurant affiliated to the Blade Sea Chamber of Commerce......

Blade Sea Chamber of Commerce, Sun Ji Noodle Restaurant?

Familiar people seem to remember the warm smile I always put on my face, but they can't connect me with these terrifying things at the moment!

But what about being connected?

The official family came early in the morning to do a survey, and the reason for the fire in Jiacheng Wood Industry was that the guards gathered all people in the timber warehouse to make supper, which led to the fire in the warehouse!

Daisuke Nitta's rice shop was improperly sealed in the kitchen, which ignited the firewood and grass next to the stove and moved to the warehouse and households!

As for Masuda Maruyu, the most unforgivable! Their storekeepers were so drunk that they fell asleep next to the antiseptic potion! It seems that he used to preserve the stinky fish and rotten shrimp every night, and it could only be put on the market the next day, but this time it was completely due to negligence!

Who is to blame for this? Right? Although it was a bit of a coincidence that they were all concentrated in one night, it was obvious that they were careless......

However, despite this, there are still a large number of chambers of commerce that include Jian Hai, including Sun Ji Noodle Restaurant, into the category that cannot be offended.

The meeting came as scheduled, and the five people sitting on the rostrum had different faces, and Ono Jishen Tie had a blue face, a burst of anger and helplessness on his faceβ€”in the morning, when he learned what had happened to him inside and outside his home, he immediately linked these things with me. So he hurried to Hakata Castle to ask Otomo Sorin's help, but the doorman told him that the daimyo was receiving distinguished guests!

Ono Jishen asked wonderingly, who is the distinguished guest? The doorman replied: "President Sun of the Blade Sea Chamber of Commerce and his party!" ”

Ono Jishen suddenly spit out a mouthful of black blood! This...... Is this going to drive people to a dead end?

After thinking about it, Ono Jishen still reported the case to the official, saying that his goods were hijacked at sea, and a large number of silver tickets were lost at home! Naturally, the official family made a record truthfully. Although Ono Jishen has repeatedly reminded that I definitely did these things, the official family pays attention to evidence, where to find evidence in these things? Let them find the proof, when my ninjas eat dry food?

So at the afternoon meeting, Ono Jishen was worried, especially when he saw me, he dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak!

The second and third directors were happy, they had always been at odds with the chairman of Ono Jishen, in their opinion, whatever the chairman supported, they had to oppose; Whatever the president doesn't like is their sweetheart! So both of them are in good shape today! Because in addition to President Ono Jishen, what is even more tragic is obviously the fifth director Watanabe Yoshishiro! These two brothers are suffering together! Today is a festive day!

As for the fourth director, he has been doing the work of labor export and introduction, and he is not in line with other chambers of commerce, so he does not participate in the open and secret battles of these guys at all, and he is indifferent.

The following chambers of commerce are also a few happy and a few sad, this is all conceivable things!

The meeting was scheduled to start at two o'clock, but it was almost three o'clock, and I still hadn't arrived! Jishin Ono tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart! He knew very well that this meeting was aimed at me, and that I was not there, and that there was no point in this meeting.

The people below were bored waiting, and after a long time, they naturally felt a little disappreciative of Ono Jishen - don't you want to rectify the Blade Sea Chamber of Commerce? People are just late, how can you take other people's drops? On weekdays, aren't you the president and the five councilors showing off their might? What's wilting today?

Schadenfreude is always human nature. Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, about the same!

Finally, at almost three o'clock, Ono Jishen couldn't wait for me, so he prepared to hold a meeting first, and it was a big deal to give me a "default verdict"! But before he could say a few words, a guard suddenly came in from outside and whispered a few words in his ear.

Ono Jishen immediately did not calm down, stood up, and looked out of the door.

Everyone was amazed, who was coming? Actually let President Ono, who has always been above the top, attach so much importance to it?

At this moment, the sound of "choking Lang choking" sounded outside the door! With everyone's shocked expressions, two people came in at the gate.

The person in front of him was dressed in samurai armor, the whole set of armor was iron-black, covered with a red-bottomed gold-rimmed jacket, and a black turban on his head. How did he get here? Hasn't he been stationed in Higo Country all along?

But thinking about it, Ono Jishen didn't dare to say much. This Tachibana Michiyuki is an existence that even the daimyo Otomo Sorin is very afraid of, and it can be said that he is a great master, but he can't leave him! Tachibana Michiyuki has always had a lot of criticism about his business association, why is he here today?

Ono Jishen's heart went up and down, and when he saw the person who came in side by side with Tachibana Michiyuki, he suddenly felt that his eyes were dark!

That person is none other than just a mere person - Sun Qilan!

How could it be him? Why him? Why him? It's him? It's him! Ono Jishen suddenly had a million whys in his heart, but unfortunately no one answered him.

Tachibana Michiyuki walked straight to Ono Jishen's table, and Ono Jishen reacted and smiled politely: "Tachibana Ikimoru Lord!" I don't know ...... you."

Before the words fell, Tachibana Michiyuki shouted in a deep voice: "Shut up! Go away! ”

Ono Jishen's face suddenly darkened, but in front of Tachibana Michiyuki, he dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak - although he had an ulterior relationship with Otomo Sorin's brother-in-law, Tahara Qinxian, but in front of Tachibana Michiyuki, these pickled relationships were like ice and snow that saw the sun, and it was really a touch!

Ono Jishen was helpless, so he could only stand to the side, and Tachibana Michiyuki sat on the main seat that Ono Jishen was sitting on just now. After sitting down, he pointed to the second director and motioned for him to let him too, and when the second director saw this, he didn't say much, and immediately sat down with the third director, Tachibana Michiyuki pointed to the seat and said, "Mr. Sun, please take a seat!" ”

As he spoke, he moved to the side, and the two of us divided the main seat equally, and sat on the main seat equally. The four directors on the other side were silent, and with the movement of Tachibana Road, they also moved outward slightly, and the dejected Watanabe Kashiro naturally lost his seat, got up in a gray manner, and stood aside. Ono Jishen had no choice but to sit in the remaining half of Watanabe Yoshijo's position.

After sitting down, in the midst of a buzz below, Tachibana Michiyuki slapped the table three times with a military fan, and suddenly the whole room was silent! This is Tachibana Michiyuki! In the whole of Kitakyushu, who would dare to say nothing to him?

Seeing that there was silence below, Tachibana Michiyuki made a gesture of invitation to me. I cleared my throat and said aloud, "In order to effectively strengthen the management of the Hakata business district, eliminate the ills, absorb the painstaking efforts, promote commerce and trade, increase tax revenue, and realize the common development of both government and business, with the approval of Lord Otomo, it is hereby announced-"

My words led to the hearts of the people below, and they didn't know what I was going to say, and they all looked at me with blank eyes.

My voice continued to echo in the empty meeting room - "It is hereby announced that from now on, the original Hakata Business Association will be abolished, and the Hakata Free Trade Alliance will be jointly initiated by the Hakata Chamber of Commerce and the Hakata Castle Lord's Mansion!" The former president and director of the Hakata Business Association will be abolished and re-elected! ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar below, like boiling water poured into boiling oil, and the pot was suddenly boiled!

Tachibana Michiyuki knocked the table a few more times with a military fan, and the room slowly quieted down! He coldly glanced at the people in the room, and said in a characteristic hoarse voice, "Hakata has its own trade alliance...... Well, chairman, it is served by Sun Qilan, the president of the Blade Sea Chamber of Commerce! This matter has been decided by Lord Otomo himself! The election of directors is from 2 to 5, do you understand? ”

Naturally, there is a piece of submissiveness below, in this era of war where power is supreme, there is no Mr. De and Mr. Sai to say, the words of the lord are heaven! Not convinced? Then there are only two paths, one way: roll. One way: death.

Ono Jishen sat to the side dumbfounded, and when he heard this, he suddenly stood up and yelled, "Why? Tachibana Ikimori-sama! At least for a reason! ”

Tachibana Michiyuki looked at Ono Jishen coldly, gently patted the famous sword "Rachel", and said in a more cold hoarse voice: "Reason? You're asking me? Or are you asking me about the knife in my hand? ”

Ono Jishen swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his heart was extremely afraid, but the worry of losing everything made him temporarily suppress this fear, and he was already bold and said, "Yes! Tachibana Ikimori-sama! I need a reason! Why let an outsider take on such an important position? And...... Moreover, he is also the murderer of many accidents yesterday! ”

Tachibana Michiyuki how to see how Ono Jishen was not pleasing to the eye, and was about to have a seizure, but I patted his arm lightly and signaled that it was up to me.

Tachibana Michiyuki glanced at me, seemed to remember something, nodded, and smiled slightly.

I cleared my throat and began my propaganda journey. To put it bluntly, it is to establish a new order! New rules!

My rules, my rules!
