“…… I see. ”

Hasegawa muttered softly and walked slowly to one of the futons in the casino.

"The murderer was kneeling on this futon at first."

Hasegawa knelt on a futon that still had a gravure mark from someone who had sat on it not long ago.

"When gambling, I found that the pot vibrated out of the thousands, and the way for the pot to vibrate the old people should be to secretly replace the 3 dice in the pot with the other 3 dice, so as to manipulate the gambling game."

"After the murderer found out that the barnacle was out of the old thousand, he cut the barnacle in half with a knife, exposing the trick of the pot Zhen."

Hasegawa, who was kneeling on the futon, drew his sword and slashed at the air in front of him from the bottom as he spoke, and then closed the scabbard in an extremely smooth manner.

"In my opinion, the murderer cut the barnacle in half in mid-air with a knife before Hu Zhen could buckle the barnacle to the ground, and cut the tail finger of Hu Zhen's right hand."

"The murderer revealed Hu Zhen's thousands of tricks, which is equivalent to smashing the job of this casino, which naturally makes the guards here extremely dissatisfied."

So the four guards here surrounded the murderer sitting in this futon from four directions. Intended to teach the murderer a lesson. ”

"But they were all killed by the murderer."

"The murderer first slashed the enemy on his left hand with a single slash with his sword."

Hasegawa used a neat technique to draw his knife and slash at the air on his left hand.

"And then there's the slash."

Hasegawa slashed the knife that he had drawn from his sheath and slashed in front of him.

"And then it's the slash."

Hasegawa adjusted his blade and slashed diagonally into the air on his right hand.

"Finally, it's flirting."

Hasegawa turned his body and swung his knife at the air behind him from below.

"With 4 sharp knives, kill all 4 guards."

"The reason why Hu Zhen and Zhongpen were also killed was because it was to avoid leaving a living mouth, and revealing the murderer's appearance."

Hasegawa said as he retracted the scabbard.

"It's just that there will be a mistake in the end...... The killer certainly didn't expect it - someone here recognized the wound after being hit by his signature stunt. ”

Hasegawa turned his gaze to the corpse of the only guard who had been killed by the Drawing Technique.

"Imai, we're in luck. We found the guy's clue so quickly. ”

……

……

Hasegawa led Imai and other subordinates out of the gambling hall.

As soon as he came out of the gambling hall, Sano immediately greeted him.

However—before Sano could spit out his flattery, Hasegawa preemptively said:

"Sano-sama, in the village of your domain, there is such a large and conspicuous gambling hall."

Hasegawa nodded at the gambling house he had just come out of.

"If I'm not mistaken—the shogunate should have strictly forbidden gambling."

"If I'm right - this casino should be run by 'Yakuza'. Right? ”

"Why didn't your clan ban it and bring all the 'Yakuza' who opened this gambling house to justice?"

Hasegawa's words made the smile on Sano's face immediately freeze.

At the same time, cold sweat broke out from Sano's forehead.

"Uh...... This one...... This casino is indeed run by a local 'Yakuza' force......"

"As for ...... Why not ban it...... Mainly because of ...... Because...... There are many things that my clan usually has to deal with...... That one...... So ......"

Just as Sano was squeezing the words out of his stomach little by little, Hasegawa suddenly laughed a few times, and then patted Sano's shoulder.

"Sano-sama, I was just joking and scaring you."

"Now that the world is difficult, the feudal government and the local 'Yakuzha' cooperate - this is just a very common thing."

"Don't worry, I'll turn a blind eye to this."

After hearing Sano's words, Sano felt the big stone in his heart fall to the ground with a "bang".

Hurriedly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead while bowing to Hasegawa and laughing, and thanked him.

At the same time, I was secretly annoyed in my heart.

I was annoyed that I was patronizing Hasegawa these days, and I forgot to ask the Negishi family to temporarily close the shops they opened that would cause trouble if noticed by the shogunate.

While feeling annoyed, ꓹ also felt secretly glad.

Fortunately, Hasegawa is also the kind of official who is "smart" and "knowledgeable about current affairs".

"Sano-sama, I'm going to have a meeting with my men under that tree next."

Hasegawa gestured to a large tree in the distance beside him.

"Since it's a secret meeting that no outsiders can know, can I ask you to stay out of it?"

"Absolutely." Sano hurriedly said, "Hasegawa-sama, please rest assured that I will not disturb your meeting!" ”

"Thank you very much."

After exchanging polite words with Sano, Hasegawa led his men to turn around and walk under the big tree.

After turning around and turning his back at Sano, the kind smile that had been all over Hasegawa's face quickly disappeared at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

His whole face changed to his usual expression—a blank face with a hint of indifference.

After walking under the big tree with his subordinates, Imai who was following Hasegawa's side pursed his lips with disdain, and said:

"I can't imagine that the Tatsuno Domain is like this...... Reduced to working with 'Yakuzha' to oppress the people. ”

As he said this, Imai didn't forget to sneak a glance at Sano's location, making sure that the words he was saying so far would not reach Sano's ears.

"This act of cooperation with 'Yakuza'...... Does the lord of the Tatsuno Domain know about it? Another official who was following Hasegawa muttered.

"Maybe you know, maybe you don't." Imai replied, "Some feudal lords are very pitiful, and they have been deceived by their own retainers. Under the whitewash of his retainers, he thought that his domain was peaceful. Cooperation with the local 'Yakuza' - This may be the idea of the retainers of the Tatsuno Domain, who received benefits from the 'Yakuza' and then deceived their own lords from knowing that they were cooperating with the 'Yakuza' in the domain. ”

"Those samurai who deceived their lord are really against the way of the samurai......," the official muttered again.

"There are not many people in this world who will follow the so-called bushido." Imai said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone this time, "For many people, the so-called bushido ꓹ is just a fig leaf to help them do bad things......"

"Alright." Hasegawa glanced at Imai and the official, "Whether the lord of the Tatsuno Domain knows anything about this - none of this is our business. ”

"Since we have touched it, then we cannot turn a blind eye."...
