Hideyoshi returned to Gifu Castle from Kyoto and lied to Oda Nobunaga that after some investigation, it was tentatively confirmed that the Assassin was a subordinate of the great thief Ishikawa Goemon. [Full text reading. So, annoyed and angry, Oda Nobunaga decided to carry out a thorough sweep of Kisogawa.

In the face of Oda Nobunaga's frenzied revenge, Ishikawa Goemon was not at all frightened, but instead played "guerrilla warfare" with the Oda army in the Kiso River valley, he dressed up as a merchant during the day, visited the rich families everywhere, and took action against these rich families at night, as a result, in the Owari Province area, he won the reputation of "grand thief".

The four of them stayed in Kyoto for a few more days, secretly got in touch with Hosokawa Fujitaka, Araki Murashige and other former shogunate ministers, and with their help, quietly came to the Ichijoin Temple, paid respects at the tombs of Lu Yunlong and Wang Chong, and left Kyoto with great grief.

When he came to the town of Jinai, Lin Wenjing accompanied Elder Yuekong, Xuande Zhenren, Zhu Junwang, Song He and Wanxi couple, Han Xiaoyu, Jingkong and Jingming brothers, as well as Zhang Min'er, Wu Lian, Tang Jing's two daughters Tang Qiong and Tang Yao and others came to greet them, and everyone gathered in the Lin Mansion and celebrated lively.

When the Tang sisters were young, their family suddenly changed, and their mother He even planned for the worst, telling them about the misfortunes they might encounter, so when they saw Xu Kun again, they were embarrassed and overwhelmed.

Xu Kun knew that he was sorry for the Tang family, and his beloved daughter Gillian was also sold into Cuihualou by bad people, and then looked back on his experience of being plundered by pirates, and cried bitterly in public......

Everyone also knows the grievances of the Tang and Xu families, back then, Tang Jing, who went to sea to do business, disappeared and took on a heavy debt to the family, if it wasn't for Xu Kun's help, maybe the Tang family in Nanjing no longer exists. But a friend's wife, don't be bullied, as for the later developments, it must be Xu Kun's fault, and now he has no place to be ashamed in front of everyone.

The pirate Lin Feng wanted to take revenge on Tang Jing who secretly went home, but he caught Xu Kun by mistake, and the unlucky Xu Kun also left Tang Jing a million taels of silver, which made the Tang family soon prosperous......

The vicissitudes of life are unpredictable. After Hai Rui was transferred out of Nanjing, Yingtianfu Yamen was C-starred by Liu Gonggong of Dongchang, which led to the seizure of Xinglong Qianzhuang, and Chen Yuanhua and others were treated as pirates and escorted to the west market of the capital to be beheaded; The Tang family was copied, the Tang Ji Weaving Workshop was confiscated, the Tang Jing couple was confiscated and distributed, and the Tang sisters were sold into Cuihualou......

Thinking of this, the tearful Tang sisters said a blessing to Xu Kun, and with gratitude, they shouted "Xu Da" together, which moved Xu Kun to faint.

Before the banquet, Xu Yihou, Zhu Junwang, Elder Yuekong and Xuande Zhenren gathered to chat, Song He and Wanxi pestered Xu Ling'er and listened to her tell the story of what happened, and the brothers Jingkong and Jingming also listened attentively......

At this time, Han Xiaoyu, Zhang Min'er and Wu Lian found that Guo Yi, who was full of sadness, was hiding from everyone and drinking alone, so they took the initiative to come over and accompany her to start a homely ......

Lin Wenjing took turns to toast with the friendship of the landlord, and he drank high after dozens of cups......

The reception lasted from noon to evening, and only the four monks and sisters Tang Qiong and Tang Yao did not drink until everyone was drunk, and then they went back to their rooms to rest.

The news of the return of the Xu family's father and daughter reached Xianru's ears, and he secretly blamed Lin Wenjing for not informing himself, and came to the Lin Mansion that night.

Welcomed Xianru into the living room, because he and Jingkong and Jingming did not understand the language, they kept bowing and saluting each other, and after a while, someone carried the unconscious Lin Wenjing over.

Suddenly, Lin Wenjing opened his eyes in a daze, and said intermittently: "No, I didn't dare to fight, disturb, the powerful monk is ...... His Excellency," and fell asleep again.

At this time, Elder Yuekong and Xuande Zhenren also entered the living room, and were polite to Xianru, chatting with him about the current situation, and also talking about the future, only to hear Xianru praise Lin Wenjing vigorously......

Since the summer of the third year of Longqing (1569 AD), with the support of two money houses in Jinling, two old men went to Japan from Huangdu Port in Taicang to do business, and sold the silk of Tang Ji Weaving Workshop to all parts of the East, so as to accumulate Chuanzi travel expenses for the future to the New World, and ran more than ten times before and after, earning no less than one million taels of silver.

It was on this occasion that Lin Wenjing found the first pot of gold, and after that, he separated from Chen Shen in Sakai Town, despite the continuous wars in various parts of Japan, he still could not stop his talent for doing business, under the protection of King Xianru of Honganji Temple, the business was prosperous and prosperous, and maintained good relations with the daimyo from all over the world, and now has become the chief treasurer of the Jinachi Town.

At the same time, Chen Shen, who was still in Sakai Town, was increasingly struggling, and due to Lin Wenjing's secret ostracism, and the fact that Sakai Town's business was deeply influenced by the church-based "Crowds", he had to close his shop and return to Ryukyu Province to reunite with his relatives.

It is evident that he has painstakingly managed the town of the prefecture and spared no effort to support Lin Wenjing, and he also has his own plans, hoping to accumulate strength to fight against the Sakai Town Coalition, extend the tentacles of Ishiyama Honganji Temple into the nearby Sakai Town, and start a battle with the power of the Western Church, this topic is of course inseparable from Konishi Lonzo.

At this moment, Xianru was comparing Lin Wenjing with Xiao Xi Longzuo, saying that Cao C and Cao C were coming, and a servant came to report: Xiao Xi Longzuo is visiting.

Given that Konishi Ryuza had a church background, and his lord's lord, Oda Nobunaga, was a sworn enemy of Ishiyama Honganji, so Lin Wenjing never dealt with him. I don't know what the purpose of Konishi Ronzo's late-night visit is? So, Xianru couldn't help but glance at Lin Wenjing.

Although all the merchants of the world were mercenary, the merchants of Sakai Town were more principled than ordinary merchants, and they united to resist the forces that did not accept Christianity, even the powerful Oda Nobunaga, so that the "new king" was very annoyed by the military and the embarrassment of his hands.

As a "devout" Christian, he was also one of the leaders of the "Congregation", and even if he came forward to help the Oda family buy muskets, he would still encounter many obstacles, and it was against this background that Oda Nobunaga had to confront Father Simon Almeida.

Could it be that there is any secret deal between Lin Wenjing and Konishi Longzuo? Actually, Xianru really thinks too much, Lin Wenjing and Konishi Longzuo have no business dealings.

Finding that the angry Xianru was silent, Elder Yuekong asked the family members who came to report, "May I ask if Xiao Xi Longzuo is here to find Wen Jing?" ”

"Xiao Nishironzo is here to visit Miss Xu Ling'er." Jia Ding replied.

Hearing this, Xianru's face suddenly turned bright, and he said with a smile: "No wonder my sister came back quietly and didn't make a noise, Elder Moon Sky and Xuande Zhenren, you see, the wealthy merchant Konishi Lonzo of Sakai Town heard that she was back, and she came to visit late at night, this reputation is really incredible." ”

In fact, Elder Moon Sky already knew what happened to her in North Korea, and Xiao Nishilongzo must not have a good heart when she came to the door!

At this time, when the Jingkong and Jingming brothers heard that the person who came was the villain who tried to murder Xu Ling'er in North Korea, they immediately stood up with a sword in their hands, and they were furious and wanted to slaughter Xiao Xi Longzuo.

Although Xianru has been fighting against Oda Nobunaga, he is also very aware of his predicament, and now the sect believers continue to rise up, and his authority is not enough to control the overall situation, but the crime is on his head by Oda Nobunaga, he doesn't want Konishi Ryonzo to die in Jiuchi Town, that will definitely cause Owari Kuni's crazy revenge.

As soon as he thought of the burning of Mt. Hiei, it was evident that he still had palpitations, so he hurriedly jumped off the tatami mat and stopped the Jingkong and Jingmei brothers.

Xuande Zhenren scolded: "You two must not be rude! Do everything according to the elders. So, he drove the two brothers away.

After this toss, Lin Wenjing's mind has cleared up a lot, he heard that Xiao Xi Longzuo is coming, he is afraid that it will be a misunderstanding, so he wants to get up and explain, the more anxious he is, the more his eyes and mouth are disobedient, and when he heard that he is here to find Xu Ling'er, it seems that he has nothing to do with him, so he pretended to fall asleep again.

For Xiao Nishilongzuo's late-night visit, Xianru also wanted to find out, so he came up with an idea, he hid behind the screen in the living room by himself, and was received by Elder Yuekong and Xuande Zhenren to see what he was doing here?

The family brought Xiao Xi Longzuo and others into the living room, and Elder Yuekong, Xuande Zhenren and Xiao Xi Longzuo met the ceremony, so they invited him to take a seat, but Xiao Xi Longzuo ignored the two old men, pushed Lin Wenjing on the tatami mat, and found that he was still drunk, so he talked to the two elders and asked Xu Linger and Guo Yi straight to the point.

Elder Moon Sky told him that the two young ladies had been tired of saddle horses all the way, and that they were all resting at this time, and it was not convenient to call them up.

So Konishi Ryoza got up and was about to leave, and said, "Please tell the two young ladies that they will not forget the promise they made in Kyoto, and come to me in Sakai Town tomorrow." ”

After figuring out the meaning of Xiao Xi Longzuo's origin, Elder Moon Sky and Xuande Zhenren were surprised, and asked in unison, "What is the promise?" ”

"Hehe, they'll understand." With that, Ronzo Konishi turned around and went out, and the two Venerables sent him out of the house.

At this time, Xianru walked out from behind the screen, grabbed Lin Wenjing, and scolded with a smile: "You monkey cub, why don't you inform me of such a grand banquet." ”

Lin Wenjing replied with a wry smile: "I wanted to invite you to celebrate together, but Sister Ling'er said that because all the people were leaving tomorrow, I didn't dare to alarm Lord Fawang for fear of causing too much sadness." ”

"Where are they going?" Xianru asked.

"They first went to Satsuma to find Guo Guoqiang, and prepared to board a ship from Tsufang Town to return home." Lin Wenjing replied

"They don't necessarily want to go." With a solemn expression, Xianru pointed to the door and said, "Xiao Nishilongzo should have heard what he said just now, maybe they have some secret deal with Owari Province." ”

Lin Wenjing suddenly panicked, and hurriedly replied, "It shouldn't be a deal." Although I didn't ask, I can guess that it should be in order to transport Lu Yunlong's coffin out of Kyoto, so there is something to say. ”

Xianru, on the other hand, shook his head and said noncommittally: "I'm afraid the truth is much more than that......"
