When Shigeyama Noguchi cut off the heads of four workers with his own hands, Kentaro was about to do something rebellious.

Kentaro is a native of Sasebo, and he had excellent grades when he was educated in the "Terakoya" in his early years, but unfortunately Kentaro was born in poverty, and dropped out of school early to go home to farm to support his family, and did not get the opportunity to study abroad.

However, the good cultural foundation gave Kentaro the opportunity to work in a smokeless powder factory.

Terakoya is an education system that has been handed down from the Edo period, and the vast majority of Japanese people were educated in Terakoya before Kaichi Elementary School was widespread.

Thanks to this education system, the literacy rate of the Japanese people was very high, and many manual workers could also read and write, which was unique in the world at that time.

In the smokeless gunpowder factory, Kentaro is a "warehouse manager", with more than 20 workers under him, who are responsible for the warehouse management of raw materials.

Although this job can ensure that Kentaro himself has no worries about food and clothing, it is still not enough to ensure that Kentaro's four children live a happy life, so Kentaro is very sad, and Kentaro vows to make more money and not let his children repeat their lives.

About a month ago, Kentaro was approached by a Japanese man named Nobu Yamaguchi and offered to help Kentaro immigrate his wife and four children to the United States, and that he could pay Kentaro a large sum of money in return for putting an item in the warehouse of a smokeless gunpowder factory.

It is not a warehouse managed by Kentaro, but a warehouse of finished gunpowder.

Kentaro knew that this was a betrayal, but Kentaro couldn't refuse the temptation of Yamaguchi Nobu, Kentaro knew very well that since Yamaguchi Nobu made this request, it meant that Yamaguchi Nobu was absolutely sure, and if he refused, then his family might not be able to see the sun the next day.

Looking at his gentle and virtuous wife and lively and lovely children, Kentaro decided to be selfish once and live for himself.

A delicate pocket watch is what Kentaro wants to put in the smokeless gunpowder storehouse, and if Kentaro has a little more knowledge, then he knows what the horse logo on the pocket watch shell represents.

That's right, it's from the Stallion Lab, and if you flip a specific button, the pocket watch will start counting down, and 12 hours later it will explode with the power of a grenade.

If you put this thing in a warehouse full of smokeless gunpowder, you can imagine the consequences.

Of course, this consequence was not within Kentaro's consideration, and when he agreed to Yamaguchi's condition, Kentaro forgot about the emperor, Japan, and the partners in the gunpowder factory.

If in a few decades, after a series of victories such as the First Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, it may not be so easy to buy a Japanese man and make him do something unfavorable to the emperor and Japan.

Now it is very easy, the shogunate has just ended, the Meiji Emperor has just taken power, and for ordinary Japanese, the authority of the emperor is not supreme, and betrayal of the emperor is not unacceptable.

Unbeknownst to Kentaro, when he agreed to Yamaguchi's conditions, an all-Japanese assault team was already on standby, and if Yamaguchi could not find a suitable internal response in the gunpowder factory, then the commando team would launch an armed raid, with the ultimate goal of blowing up the smokeless gunpowder factory.

It is not easy to put a pocket watch in the finished warehouse, the finished product warehouse is more than 500 meters away from the raw material warehouse where Kentaro works, and it is not even in the same working area, to go to the finished product warehouse, Kentaro not only has to pass through a row of factories, but also go through two checkpoints, the finished product warehouse is not within Kentaro's area of responsibility, if Kentaro appears in the finished product warehouse, then whether Kentaro can complete the task or not, Kentaro will cause suspicion.

According to Yamaguchi's request, tomorrow night is the deadline, and before leaving work tomorrow night, Kentaro must leave his pocket watch in the finished warehouse, otherwise Kentaro's wife and son will not be able to arrive in the United States safely.

"If you don't have a chance today, then take the plunge." Kentaro sighed as he looked at the finished goods warehouse in the distance, Kentaro knew that his time was running out.

"Kuran-sama, Mr. Noguchi, please come to the meeting." A guard came to report.

"Okay, I'll be right over." Kentaro's spirits were lifted, feeling the hardness of the pocket watch that had been in his chest pocket, Kentaro's heart slowly became cold,

Today is the day of the inspection of the Minister of Industry, the number of guards has doubled, and Kentaro originally had no chance to leave the raw material warehouse where he worked, but now this request is just right.

"Safety work is the top priority, no matter when, you must not take it lightly, you know the value of smokeless gunpowder factories, this is the first attempt to modernize our army, if something goes wrong because of carelessness, you and I will have to pay the price." Looking at the four corpses with different heads, Ito Hirobumi spoke sharply.

The safety of smokeless gunpowder factories has always been a huge hidden danger, although Ito Hirobumi obtained the technology related to smokeless gunpowder from the Qing Empire, although smokeless gunpowder was built in the heavily defended Sasebo, and although Ito Hirobumi could give Noguchi Shigeyama all the trust, but thinking of the hard-line attitude of the Shoma Group, Ito Hirobumi still felt uneasy.

Ito Hirobumi knows the strength of the Horse Group in the United States, and also knows the hostility of Li Mu, the boss of the Horse Group, to Japan, Ito Hirobumi has carefully studied the history of Li Mu's family, Ito Hirobumi noticed that all the enemies of Li Mu and the Horse Group have either died or gone into exile, but if there is a slightest possibility, Ito Hirobumi will not be the enemy of the Horse Group, but the world is unpredictable, and the Horse Group will eventually become the enemy of Japan, which Ito Hirobumi is helpless.

According to Li Mu's consistent style of acting, Li Mu will not give up, although the Junma Group is fighting back against Japan in all aspects, but for the Sasebo smokeless powder factory, Li Mu has not taken any action.

Ito Hirobumi didn't think that Li Mu would stop there, because of a mere patent royalty, the Junma Group actually dared to retaliate against Japan, and Ito Hirobumi didn't think that Li Mu would be afraid.

The point is that even if the Japanese government comes up with this patent royalty, the Junma Group doesn't want it, so Ito Hirobumi is really aggrieved, but this also strengthens Ito Hirobumi's determination to be self-reliant and self-reliant.

"Yes, Your Excellency Ito, if there is a problem with the safety of the factory, I will apologize with all the managers with death." Noguchi Shigeyama's voice was firm, although he accidentally splashed blood on his shoes when he cut people just now, but Noguchi Shigeyama didn't dare to wipe it, looking at the scarlet blood stains on his shoes, Noguchi Shigeyama wanted to remember this color firmly and use it as a warning to himself.

A large crowd of mixed footsteps hurried in, this was the management personnel who had rushed to get their education.

Several guards dragged two middle-aged people who were tied up with flowers, who were the direct leaders of the four beheaded workers.

"Since the first day of the establishment of the smokeless gunpowder factory, I have emphasized the safety issue countless times, but there are always some people who neglect their duties and do not take the rules and regulations seriously, and today, in the factory work area, there is a vicious incident of workers gathering to roast the fire, I think I need to repeat again, no matter what violates the rules and regulations, it will not be tolerated, no matter who is involved." Ito Hirobumi's eyes were fierce and murderous, especially when he saw that one of the two managers who was dragged over was actually his distant relative, the murderous aura in Ito's eyes was even stronger.

"Uncle...," Ito's distant relative finally couldn't help but kneel down and weep sadly.

"Steel, it's time to show your courage." Ito Hirobumi shouted coldly, casually pulled out a rib from the waist of the attendant next to him, and threw it in front of Gangfu: "I will personally act as your intermediary, so you don't have to have regrets." ”

"Wrong person" is a unique name in Japan, generally Japanese people make a big mistake to commit suicide, they will invite their relatives and friends to be their own people, the Japanese way of suicide is caesarean section, in the most painful time of the suicide, the wrong person will cut off the head of the suicide.

"Yes uncle, I will wash my mistakes with my own hands." Tsukao knows that it is useless to plead, and if he behaves a little more happily, then Ito Hirobumi may take care of his wife and children for the sake of his relatives.

Caesarean section is a very serious thing in Japan, even if Gang Fu made a mistake, when it was time to cut the abdomen, someone immediately came to untie Gang Fu, brought water for Gang Fu to wash, and spread a green felt blanket on the ground.

Gangfu solemnly cleaned his hands, picked up the ribs thrown by Ito Hirobumi, and carefully wiped them with a white handkerchief, his expression was sacred and solemn.

Regarding the rib difference, there were rumors that this is a Japanese special knife for disembowelment, in fact, this is wrong, the rib difference is an offensive knife, compared to a long knife such as a knife, the rib difference is an auxiliary knife, which is very powerful in a narrow space, especially indoors or in the alley, the attack power of the rib difference is easier to play than a knife.

Of course, because the length of the knife is shorter, the rib difference is indeed more suitable than the knife when cutting the abdomen.

As a misneer, Ito Hirobumi also prepared a long knife and stood beside Gangfu, and after Gangfu disemboweled, Ito Hirobumi would cut off Gangfu's head when Gangfu was in the most pain, which not only ended Gangfu's pain, but also helped Gangfu complete the whole ceremony.

Gangfu knelt down in the direction of his hometown and prayed, his expression had no fear or regret, only strong self-blame and attachment.

After half a ring, Gangfu got up, looked up at the snowy sky, closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm his emotions, picked up the ribs that had been wiped clean, and stabbed them into his stomach with a loud roar.

According to Japanese tradition, the procedure of cutting the abdomen is to make a horizontal cut from left to right, then turn the blade, and then make a second incision upwards to create an "L"-shaped wound in the abdomen, even if the internal organs of the body overflow.

After the second excision, the person who intersected the person usually quickly cut off the head of the disembowelment, and the whole ritual is complete.

Perhaps because he didn't want to make Gango suffer too much, Ito Hirobumi cut off Gangfu's head without waiting for Gangfu to cut out the second cut.

Immediately, the guards came to clean up the scene, and they had to collect the body of Gangfu, stuff the internal organs back, sew the belly back, and then sew up Gangfu's head and body as well, so that they could be worthy of a warrior like Gangfu.

It was a very honorable thing to disembowel, as a relative of Ito Hirobumi, Tsugeo was qualified to do so, and the other supervisor was not qualified, and several guards pulled the other supervisor to the side of the corpses on the ground, and cut off the head with a knife to put an end to the matter.

After cutting off Gangfu's head, Ito Hirobumi didn't speak again, but only patrolled the audience with the hazy eyes of an injured lone wolf.

No one dared to look at Ito Hirobumi, no matter who Ito saw, that person was always sifting through the chaff, like a vole targeted by a poisonous snake.

"I hope you will take this as a warning and really keep safety work in mind, and if someone makes a mistake again, then you don't need me to tell you what to do." After Ito Hirobumi finished speaking, he turned around and strode away, and the officials were silent and followed closely.

In fact, the first stop of Ito's inspection was the finished product warehouse, which was just an episode of Ito's visit on the way to the finished product warehouse.

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the finished product warehouse, Kentaro's heart beat faster and faster.

Success is within reach, and Kentaro will be paid a thousand dollars if he finds an opportunity to put the pocket watch on his chest in the finished warehouse, and even if Kentaro can't escape, his wife and children will be well cared for in the United States.

Thinking of the legendary well-equipped and advanced horse affiliated school, although the sky is snowing heavily and the feet are frozen, Kentaro's heart is on fire, free education, free clothing, and free three meals a day, Kentaro seems to see his four children wearing clean and tidy horse affiliated school uniforms, and are smiling happily at himself.

That's an angelic smile.

"Safety and security must be a top priority, even if our own employees are not allowed to enter the finished goods warehouse, everyone has to do their own thing, and they must not get involved in the links that do not belong to them." When he walked into the finished product warehouse, Ito Hirobumi was still instructing Noguchi Shigeyama.

"Yes, don't worry." Noguchi Shigeyama agrees with the sound.

Kentaro deliberately walked into the finished warehouse last, subconsciously took out the beautifully made pocket watch, and approached the mountain of wooden boxes next to him.

Closer, closer, just one more meter, Kentaro can complete the task.

At this moment, Kentaro suddenly felt an irresistible impact, blowing himself into the air, like snowflakes flying in the sky.

It turned out that I wasn't the only one they were looking for.

This was the last thought that crossed Kentaro's mind.
