174. You come and go
Any battlefield is full of blood and gunsmoke, but some battlefields will bleed, and some battlefields will not bleed. But in terms of cruelty, in fact, the two are not equal, and they do not differ because of the difference in form.
After the joint meeting, the atmosphere in Hakata Port seemed to become solemn and eerie, and an inexplicable feeling hung over the heads of each merchant that something serious was about to happen. But the day passed, and everything was calm.
By the next day, it was still peaceful, as if nothing had happened.
Many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief, originally seeing my methods against Ono Shintai, worried that I would take some drastic measures to solve the problems they faced, but now it seems that they are too worried. Maybe I just have a way to deal with those ruffians, and in the face of powerful business associations, I will also feel worried and scared, or I don't know what to do!
Ono Jishen sat on the tatami mat, sneering in his heart, and involuntarily brought it to his face. Ono Shintai next to him respectfully handed over a bowl of tea, and said with a flattering smile: "Father! As soon as you make a move this time, the Ming Dynasty people will immediately soften! It seems that we will increase our efforts in the future to make him more deferential! ”
Ono Jishen snorted and sneered, "Is my money so easy to take?" How did he eat it, how do I want him to spit it out! How dare you threaten me! Hum! ”
As he spoke, his eyes showed a fierce light, staring at the round nine-headed sea snake totem on the wall of the shadow wall outside the house, and secretly pinched the teacup in his hand, and the bones in his hands were white.
After a while, Fang gritted his teeth and spit out a few words: "At tomorrow's meeting, I will unite with the Chamber of Commerce to impose sanctions on the Ming Dynasty man surnamed Sun!" If nothing else, that guy from Watanabe Kashiro won't let him go - who made him break Watanabe's nephew's kneecap? This guy surnamed Sun will accept the fate of being sanctioned one day in Hakata one day! ”
Ono Shentai laughed, in fact, in his not too abundant brain capacity, he didn't quite understand why the meeting could decide where the money went, and the operation he was more familiar with was still a forcible seizure.
Looking at his unsuccessful son, Ono Jishen let out a long sigh, and the mood of drinking tea suddenly faded, and he slowly put down the teacup and hung his head silently.
……
Our headquarters in Hakata is hidden behind Sun Kee Noodle Restaurant, in a high-walled courtyard. Tomorrow is the second joint meeting of the 14th joint meeting of the 14th business federation of all the, and before this meeting, I want to create some new topics for them, otherwise this meeting will be too boring, isn't it?
The division of labor has long been completed, and all we are waiting for now is the coming of night......
In winter, the night came very early, and it was already completely dark at about five o'clock in the afternoon.
Pedestrians on the road return to their homes, light fires and cook, and enjoy happy or unhappy family life. Shops also closed their doors, ending the day's business. Most of the people who still wander the streets are drunkards with hangovers all night, poor people who have turned away from normal life.
When night fell over Hakata, I knew the time had come! Today's wind is so strong, it's a strong east wind! The moon in the sky was not very bright, revealing only a curved crescent.
Sure enough, it was a dark killing night, a day when the wind was high and the fire was set on fire! Even God helps me!
I sent several teams of men and horses to carry out the mission separately, and I myself was not willing to be lonely, and personally led a team of people to complete one of the most interesting ones.
I led a small team of five people through the rooms of the night like a ghost. At that time, there were no street lamps in Dongying, and in addition to the Gaomen Compound, ordinary people could not afford to light more lanterns to illuminate the darkness outside the courtyard. As for the rich families whose entire courtyard is bright, we just need to bypass them.
So in this dark night, in addition to the sound of chickens and dogs barking, the whole Hakata seems to have fallen into a deep sleep, resting quietly, and recovering the energy consumed by the day.
The kite behind him suddenly said softly: "Sir! The big yard in front is the warehouse of Jiacheng Wood! ”
I stopped, lurking in the darkness, staring intently at the massive building not far away.
This Watanabe Yoshijo is indeed a capable man, and it is said that more than 20 years ago, he was a hangover who wandered for a long time in the Hakata liquor store, living on the inheritance left by his parents.
This unmotivated guy gets drunk every day, and his wife can't stand his hangover and domestic violence, so she leaves alone. The guy still didn't repent and continued to hang over every night, but his three-year-old son was thirsty in the middle of the night, so he ran to find water to drink, and accidentally fell into the water tank......
After waking up the next day, Watanabe Kashiro was extremely remorseful, but he couldn't regret it! It is said that he picked up a bottle of wine, dried it in one go, and then smashed all the bottles, and began to start a family lumber business. Unexpectedly, he did very well in a few years, and the family business slowly regained its vitality, and he made a special trip back to his wife's mother's house, invited his wife back, and started a new life.
In recent years, his old friend Yoshishin Ono has become the president of the Hakata Business Association, and he has also become a fifth director through his good relationship with him. Over the years, they have worked closely together to squeeze out all the chambers of commerce that Hakata did not deal with, and what remained was either submissive to them and became accomplices, or they survived in the cracks.
Recently, a new chamber of commerce has come to Hakata, and it is none other than my blade sea chamber of commerce. In Watanabe's view, my rival against the General Chamber of Commerce was here to steal their jobs, because he was preparing his own general business chamber of commerce, of course, a large business complex called Hakataya that he had co-founded with Ono Jishin.
Therefore, they were originally going to make trouble for me and use their usual tricks to squeeze me out of the Hakata business district, but it turned out that I happened to offend Ono Jishen's son and took Ono Jishen's silver taels! Also shattered the kneecaps of Watanabe Kashiro's relatives!
In this way, the Ono family, the Watanabe family, and my Blade Sea Chamber of Commerce are incompatible with both public and private affairs.
While thinking about these messes, we have turned around the entire warehouse of Jiacheng Wood. This warehouse covers an area of more than 5,000 square meters and is a large rectangular warehouse. There were four guards in the courtyard. Two of them rested in the hut at the entrance of the compound, while the other two patrolled the courtyard back and forth.
Of course, this level of vigilance is not worth mentioning to us, but it can still be disruptive to us – because when something happens, they will certainly become alert and affect what we want to achieve.
I gestured to Kite, who nodded, and turned to the three shinobi. The four of them muttered for a while, and then went separately to do something. I don't have to do such a small thing, because there is no goal worth my hands, what a pity!
I saw that the four of them were like raccoon cats, taking advantage of the shadow of the big tree, moving to the wall silently, taking advantage of the opportunity that the patrol two were on the other side of the warehouse, and with a little cooperation, they jumped on the wooden wall more than two meters high and climbed into the courtyard.
I smiled slightly, flashed out from behind the hidden tree, carried the Cold Crystal Technique and the Shadow Accompanying Method, followed the four of them like ghosts, and entered the courtyard with a slight leap. With the force of the momentum, he kicked on the wall, and his body jumped to the roof of the storehouse.
I condescendingly watched the action of the four people, just from the point of view of the body, or the kite is better, after all, it is a senior middle ninja, and several other lower ninjas are slightly inferior to her, but they are also the best among the lower ninjas.
The four of them are divided into two groups, and they are sneaking towards the two people who are patrolling and the two people who are resting!
Kite and another shinobi went to the outside of the house of the two left behind, and through the shadow behind the gatehouse, the shinobi took out a thin tube, untied a skin bag from his waist, gently sucked it on the skin, and then used the tube to blow the contents of the skin bag into the house!
The kite was not idle, she took out a lot of waste cloth and other things from her backpack, and gently blocked the ventilation hole in the room!
In this way, what Shinobi blows into the house will be able to exert the maximum effect!
I stood on the roof, and saw the two of them fighting for a while, and then the kite made a tactical gesture that I had taught them, indicating that it was done, and the two of them were bent on their waists, and continued to lurk by the back wall of the porter, waiting motionless.
The other group of two lurked beside the big tree next to the road that the patrol had to pass, one of them hid in the shadow of the corner, and the other behind the big tree, both of which were the most shadowy places. When the two patrol guys walked up, the two of them raised the thin tube in their hands and blew hard at each of the patrol guys!
Two patrolmen covered their necks with their hands almost simultaneously! After shaking a few times, it slowly showed a tendency to fall to the ground under the effect of the drug attached to the blow needle!
The two shinobi quickly rushed out of the shadows, and the general helped the two people who were about to fall, and then wrapped their hands around the head of the person they were supporting, and twisted them with force!
I heard a slight bone breaking sound on the roof! They did a great job, simply neat! The two shinobi dragged the two corpses, returned to the storeroom with their waists, reached out and touched the two of them, and found a key.
The kite estimated that the medicinal properties should have been fully exerted, so he covered his face with a wet black scarf, opened the door and entered the gatehouse. There was no sound, and before long, the two of them dragged a corpse out of the gatehouse and walked towards the storehouse!
When the four of them converged, I jumped lightly behind the four people, and without me asking, the kite and the shinobi who searched the body took out a key, and I smiled slightly, it was the key to the two big locks locked on the door of the warehouse!
It seems that this guy Watanabe Kashiro is still very cautious, and the chain uses double insurance! But alas, you've chosen the wrong opponent!
I ran to the door, put my ear to the door, listened quietly for a long time, and without any sound, I opened the two locks with two keys and gently pushed the door open a crack!
The four of them dragged the corpse through the crack in the door into the storeroom, and I looked left and right to see if it was safe, so I followed in, and closed the door of the storeroom casually.
The five of them searched around the storeroom, but there was nothing but wood, even wood. I gently patted a cypress tree in front of me that had gone to the branches, reached into the bark and picked at it, and there was a hint of dampness, it seemed to be a new wood!
The whole warehouse is full, and according to my estimate, this is the goods that Watanabe Yoshijo has stockpiled before the winter, and is ready to sell them to shipyards and other merchants after the winter, so take advantage of the freezing ground and easy transportation in the winter, and sell them at a good price!
I suddenly heard that I was supervising the construction of the Great Wall at Juyongguan, and the people were splashing water into ice, and I couldn't help but smile slightly. sighed, patted the wood again, and gestured to the kite and a few others!
Seeing this, the four of them nodded and went their separate ways. The kite ran to the gate, opened a crack in the gate, and got out. After a while, he came back again, and there were a lot of miscellaneous things in his hands.
She walked up to a corpse and threw a wooden bucket beside him. I ran to the second corpse again, looked at it, put on a firefighting pose for the corpse, and threw a big broom next to the corpse! The remaining two corpses were also arranged separately, in short, they all looked like they were trying their best to put out the fire!
Watching her busy, I almost laughed out loud, this guy is really neat, you can't underestimate her just because she's a woman!
Another shinobi did even better, he found a pot from the porter, set up a simple stove next to a pile of wood with a stick, hung the pot, and threw a lot of mushrooms, chicken legs and other things inside! Yo he! There are even disguised props for chicken stewed mushrooms!
Judging from his disguise, this is completely the result of the four guards who did not follow the rules and lit a fire in the storeroom!
The remaining two shinobi didn't do anything else, they quickly poured the fire oil carried by the four of them evenly on the wood in each corner, of course, the pine trees and the wood that had been air-dried did not need to be watered, because they did not need to!
When everything was in place, I turned around and checked it again, and then nodded, and turned my right hand into a knife, down everything!
Several people nodded, and at the same time took out the fire hyacinth, and after burning it, threw it on the fire oil that was poured everywhere!
By the time we stood on a small hill three hundred meters away, three hundred meters away, the fire had already ignited! Dongying does not have a fight, looking at this fire, it is estimated that when people find out, it should be completely in place!
I smiled slightly, took the four of them, and quietly returned to the stronghold of the Blade Sea - Sun's Noodle Restaurant.
After a long night, I played with fire, and I won't wet the bed!
