Glancing at Li Fuyao, bowing slightly, it was a farewell, and Uesugi Kiyoshi's wheelchair was pushed by Higashiwen Maki himself and walked out of the door of the Baiwen Pavilion.

"Qing, will you come back tomorrow?"

Behind him, Li Fuyao curled up in his chair and looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi's back with a bright look.

"Will... bar. ”

Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't look back, and responded lightly.

In the Baiwen Museum... Or by Li Fuyao's side, his mind will fall into an indescribable calm.

The daughter incense mixed with the scent of sandalwood seems to be addictive.

It's also a good choice to recuperate here and think about some things by the way.

Li Fuyao just asked, and there was no follow-up, allowing the heavy wooden door to close.

A figure stood outside the door.

He was an old man who looked to be fifty or sixty years old, wearing a well-fitting suit, his hair was meticulously groomed with silver threads, white gloves on his hands, his face was clear, and he was carrying a quaint Japanese sword at his waist that was a little different from his outfit, and he was holding a black umbrella, standing quietly in the rain.

Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't see him before yesterday, this is Akutagawa Ryunosuke's "retainer", the collector of the Collectibles Association poured out of the nest, fought the headquarters of the Tobunkai at night, stayed behind the Collectibles Association, and led the "Dream Weaving Net" to lock the location of the dream mirror of Akutagawa Ryunosuke for Akutagawa Ryunosuke, it was this old man.

His name is Ueno Sanshi, he is a swordsman, the Beichen sword is passed down from the inside, belongs to the cultivator, and is also the "investigator" of the Collectibles Association, and he is fifty-six years old this year.

The Ueno family has been serving the Akutagawa family for three generations, with Ueno Mitsuishi's father being a domestic servant of the great writer Ryunosuke Akutagawa himself, and his son also serving the Collectibles Society.

This is also the reason why Ueno Mishi is deeply trusted by Akutagawa Ryunosuke, but because this old man's qualifications are really limited and his swordsmanship is very average, he spends most of his time helping Akutagawa Ryunosuke deal with some association chores, rather than directly participating in battles.

No, in order to show his attention to Uesugi Kiyoshi, this Ueno Mitsushi was sent by Akutagawa Ryunosuke to do some trivial things for Uesugi Kiyoshi during his injury.

Although Mitsushi Ueno is older, he has done a job similar to a housekeeper for Ryunosuke Akutagawa for so many years, so he naturally has his "work experience."

”。

Seeing Uesugi Kiyoshi being pushed out of the door, he immediately bowed slightly and asked gently, "Uesugi-kun, where are you going?" I'm going to drive. ”

Uesugi Kiyoshi looked at the sky that did not have the desire to clear up, and said casually: "Ueno-senpai, go to Hanagetsu Town!" ”

Kagetsu Town is in Minato Ward, the location is relatively remote, the environment is a little noisy, and it is not the usual clean and tidy image of Minato.

This is an old street by the sea, and a few decades ago, it was the hard laborers and poor sailors on the docks who took root here, which is why the houses here are dilapidated, and the economic conditions of this class of residents cannot afford to build luxurious dwellings.

Over the decades, generations of residents have changed, and many new industries have flourished here.

The more famous ones are mahjong parlors and custom shops.

Kagetsu Town is the territory of the "Kagetsu Group", and the Kagetsu Group belongs to the Tobunkai, on every street in Kagetsu Town, there are some small groups, do some common gangster livelihoods, the money they earn, will pay tribute to the Kagetsu Group, of course, this is not the largest economic source of income of the Kagetsu Group, their industry is those mahjong parlors and custom shops, the daily income is not counted, but there is no problem with worry-free food and clothing.

After getting out of the car, Uesugi Kiyoshi got back into a wheelchair, Maki Higashimi is not a little girl who is not deeply involved in the world, he takes a look at the surrounding environment, and he knows that this is a place to do business.

Her face flushed slightly, and she forcibly pressed it down, she believed that Uesugi Kiyoshi would not do such an outrageous thing as taking her to visit the custom shop.

In Japan, it's not illegal to have a custom shop, but it's illegal to do it -- but in these yakuza shops... Hey, hey, hey.

If the money is in place, you and I are willing, and the law can't be so lenient.

Tobun Maki, who was born in the extreme, will not even understand these things, Shinjuku Kabukicho, next to the headquarters of the Tobunkai Association, is a gentle town where countless men are drunk to death.

Ueno Miishi stood straight with his waist upright, and together with Kamisi, one left and one right, held umbrellas for Uesugi Kiyoshi and Higashifumi Maki.

Maki Higashifumi pushes Uesugi Kiyoshi and walks down the streets of Kagetsu Town, which is sparsely populated due to heavy rain.

The time is now three or four o'clock in the afternoon, because of the rain, the sky is overcast, there are many custom shops and kabucho on the street have been lit up ambiguous neon signs, everywhere you can see the big man with tattoos on the cuffs gathered at the intersection with his shoulders crossed, his eyes sharply scanning the pedestrians, this should be the "housemate" of the Kazuki group who came out to see the field.

There are also many glamorous young ladies with umbrellas and delicate makeup, but they look tired and walk on the side of the road, and then plunge into a custom shop.

It is not uncommon for guests to have fun, and even heavy rain cannot extinguish the desire in the hearts of men, but since Maki Higashimo came to this street, it has basically attracted the attention of all men.

She is extremely beautiful in her own right, and her cherry sleeves are also eye-catching, and after the Consulate General's Dongwen meeting, there is a touch of majesty in her expression, which together can arouse the desire for conquest of men.

If it weren't for the fact that the Dharma protectors on the left and right behind him looked very bluffing, I'm afraid that someone would have come up to talk to them.

There are many Yakuza in black suits who see this very head-turning combination, and they all have different expressions, the kind of flexible heads, pull their legs and leave, looking hurried, and they don't know what they are doing.

After walking half a street, Dongwen Zhenxi still couldn't hold back, and asked in a low voice, "Sir, what are we doing here?" ”

Uesugi Kiyoshi looked around with interest, this was the first time he had been to this kind of place, and he was quite interested.

Hearing Maki Tofu's question, he replied casually, "Hmm..."

"I'll take you to see this earthly fireworks."

After that, he turned his head to look at Dongwen Maki, and said, "There are too many things to ban in the plan you gave me. ”

"According to the standards inside, the Kagetsu Group should be regarded as the part that you gave up, they do the skin and meat business, this is a well-known thing, let me show you, if you give up the Kagetsu Group, what will become of here."

Uesugi Kiyoshi turned his head and whispered a few words to Ueno Sanshi, asked for a pack of cigarettes, and then pressed a button on the wheelchair, and the wheelchair with a dazzling silver light sped up the speed of moving forward, and Higashimi Maki had no choice but to speed up his pace.

After a few seconds, Uesugi Kiyoshi stopped at an intersection where a small group of Yakuza gathered in piles of three or five.

The leader was tall, with a fleshy face and a fierce face, and the younger brother gave him an umbrella, and he smoked a cigarette, like a beast watching the territory, and he was a little puzzled when he saw the strange combination of Uesugi Kiyoshi and a wheelchair coming at him, but he didn't say anything.

Until Uesugi Kiyoshi asked him.

Uesugi Kiyoshi handed out the cigarette, his expression was very kind, and his tone was very polite.

"Big brother, can I ask you a question?"

Maybe Uesugi Kiyoshi's good-looking skin was too deceptive, or maybe this Yakuza felt that a teenager in a wheelchair was really not threatening, he grinned, although the smile was also a little fierce, but he still took the cigarette handed by Uesugi Kiyoshi, threw the finished cigarette butt into the trash can not far away, and took out another cigarette and lit it.

Swallowing a smoke ring, the Yakuza spoke in a heavy voice.

"Little ghost, this is not the place where a young master like you should come."

"Don't get into trouble because you're curious, we're not open to minors here."

"For your cigarette's sake, just ask a question, say it."

This Yakuza obviously regards Uesugi Kiyoshi as a rich kid who came out to have fun, and he hasn't seen this kind of person before.

It's just that the appearance of the maid behind this little ghost is a little amazing, and he has never seen a woman more beautiful than Higashi Fumiki in Hanagetsu Town for so long.

Uesugi Kiyoshi spoke amazingly.

"Hmm... Then you're welcome. ”

"What would you do if you didn't make a living in the Extreme Path one day?"

This question made the younger brothers behind the leader Yakuza all look furious and frown.

The leader who smoked did not change his face, but smiled casually.

"That's your problem?"

"Listen, little imp, I'll continue to play for the Kagetsu group until I die, or become a useless cripple."

He glanced at Uesugi Kiyoshi deeply and sighed faintly.

"Little ghost, you don't understand."

"I was born here, I grew up here, at the age of twelve I went out with my eldest brother to cut people and fight for territory, I am Chinese New Year's Eve six years old today, more than 20 years have passed, I... It can't be washed in vain. ”

"It's like this in this business, it's easy to get in, but it's hard to get out."

"So... Stay away from us, do you understand? Gremlin? ”

This Yakuza is a bit rude in his words and tone, but he is not a bad person, and he is even a good-tempered person in the extreme way, he may be short-handed, and he is not scolding.

Dongwen Maki frowned and opened his mouth puzzled.

"So, why are you messing with the underworld? For money? ”

"You are strong, you can make a living by doing anything, you really can't do it, it's better to do a small business than to crawl in the extreme road and risk being injured or dying at any time to make money!"

The tall Yakuza smoked a cigarette and looked at Tobun Maki with some disdain in his eyes.

Silently taking two puffs of his cigarette, he snorted coldly.

"Little girl, didn't you understand what I just said?"

"In this business, it's easy to get in, but it's hard to get out!"

"I've already earned the money I've spent my life, but what can I do?"

He turned his head abruptly and made peace to his younger brother.

"Hey, Wenji, that kid from San Lang made someone cut off a thumb a few days ago, and he can't hold the knife anymore, didn't the eldest brother say that he gave him a sum of money and asked him to go back to his own business?"

"How is he, tell this eldest lady."

The younger brother of the Flower Moon Group, known as Wenji, had a gloomy face, snorted fiercely, and said angrily: "Boss, what else can I do!" ”

"San Lang opened a oden stall on East Street, but no one came to the door for three days, everyone knew that he had been gangster, and his fingers were chopped off, and the stalls passing by him pointed at him, and I couldn't listen to what he said, let alone take care of his business!"

"Yesterday, a few boys from the Miki group went to blow up Saburo's stall! At the beginning, their eldest brother was stabbed by San Lang, this is to seek revenge, if I didn't take people to go quickly, I'm afraid San Lang would have to suffer a little! ”

"Big brother just asked me to bring San Lang back today, let him do some chores in the department, and pay him a little salary, it's better than going out and being looked down upon!"

This housemate spoke endlessly, and his tone was a little indignant, but Uesugi Kiyoshi had no waves.

Civilians discriminate against Yakuza and stay away from it, which is a social phenomenon in Japan, and in his opinion, it is taken for granted.

No matter how much you use high-sounding rhetoric, gangsters live by absorbing the blood and sweat of ordinary people, and there is a cause and effect, and this is retribution.

Just like the leading Yakuza said - this line of work, it is easy to get in, but it is difficult to get out, and it is not so easy to do.

You usually collect other people's protection money, and when you wash your hands, you still want others not to discriminate against you, which is too beautiful.

Dongwen Maki's good-looking eyebrows frowned together, his fists clenched, and he muttered in a condensed voice: "How can this be..."

Uesugi Kiyoshi chuckled lightly, and didn't speak, just let her think for herself.

Just then, a noisy footstep came.

A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, with a few black suits Yakuza with a hurried and panicked expression, after seeing the faces of Maki Tofumi and Uesugi Kiyoshi, his face changed, and his surprise became even stronger, trotting all the way, coming to the two of them, bowing deeply, and saying hello loudly at the same time.

"Miss... No! President! Hello! ”

"I'm the head of the Flower Moon Group, I don't know if you're here, I'm not welcome, please forgive me!"

Hua Yuejing's forehead could almost touch the toes, and there was cold sweat rolling down his forehead uncontrollably, he secretly glanced at Uesugi Kiyoshi, and saw this killer looking at him with a smile that seemed to be not a smile, and his heart was even more panicked.

Last night, Hua Yuejing was in the assessment room of the headquarters of the Dongwen Society.

He saw with his own eyes that Uesugi Qing led people to kill him, and he beheaded countless people with his sword, and the cadres of the extreme way were silent in front of him, and they didn't dare to say a word.

"Why did the eldest lady lead this killer here... Don't you blame me for not standing in line in advance, and came to Xingshi to ask for guilt? ”

"Isn't it! There weren't so many people standing in line, why did they find me! I've been so unlucky lately, if I can survive under that killer today, I must worship the Buddha more and go to bad luck! ”

Hua Yuejing was shocked in his heart, and the tall Yakuza was also stunned, he was not slow to react, and followed his eldest brother to bow and say hello loudly.

Maki Higashimi was distracted, and Uesugi Kiyoshi raised his hand, signaling that Katsukikyo didn't need to make such a big salute.

Hua Yuejing knew that Uesugi Kiyoshi had an extraordinary relationship with his eldest lady, so he naturally stood up straight and asked softly at the same time.

"Usugi Lord, do you and the chairman have any important things to do with this visit? The headquarters of the Kagetsu group is right in front, so please go in and talk about it! ”

Uesugi Kiyoshi waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need, don't get me wrong, Team Leader Hanazuki, I've heard that Dongwen's seniors value you very much, saying that you understand the rules, advance and retreat, earn the money you should earn, and don't touch the bits and pieces that shouldn't be earned, and you are a person with a law." ”

"So, I'll take Maki to see what Kagetsu Town is like."

"Don't blame me if you're disturbed."

Hua Yuejing wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile: "Uesugi-sama praised it falsely, this is all as it should be, it should be, whatever you want to see, look at it." ”

Knocking on the armrest of the wheelchair, the crisp sound of gold and iron echoed in the rain, which also brought Tobun Maki back to his senses.

Uesugi Kiyoshi asked Kazuki Kyo dialect, but his eyes met Tobun Maki straight.

"Team Leader, I mean what if."

"If the Tomon Society no longer shelters the Kazuki Group, what will happen?"

Hua Yuejing was shocked when she heard this, and even her voice was a little broken.

"Ah?!!h

"Uesugi-sama, did we do something wrong? Please give us another chance! ”

"Is it because I went to participate in Dong Wenyu's assessment? President, please listen to my explanation, that was not my intention, I just wanted to perfunctory at that time, there were many groups with similar ideas to me at that time - after all, we still have a group of brothers under us to eat, offending Dong Wenyu, a weak group like ours will die at any time without a place to be buried..."

Before he could finish his complaint, he was interrupted by Kiyoshi Uesugi.

"I'm asking you questions, not you're asking me questions."

The tone in which he said this was a little harsh, and Hua Yuejing didn't dare to disobey Uesugi Kiyoshi's intentions, so he had to have a bitter face and a low tone.

"In Tokyo's Gokudo, groups like ours are all under the command of a large Gokudo."

"If we are expelled by the Dongwen Society, there should be people from Kowloon or the Kanto Union coming to the door soon, let us surrender and hand over the proceeds."

"If you don't say yes... I'm afraid it's a force of force, and we can't compete with them. ”

"Lord Jue is very good to us, and the proceeds are only for us to hand over 20%, but I'm afraid that the people of Kowloon or Kanto United will not be so merciful, and I'm afraid they will have to go at least half..."

"The wool comes out of the sheep - Uesugi-sama, you know, although our Kagetsu Group does some erotic business, but we don't do things that pay attention to your affection and my willingness, and force good people to become prostitutes, we have this confidence, it is precisely because Lord Jue treats us generously, so we have spare money, so we won't do anything without a limit."

"But if this place is dominated by other gangsters, if we don't meet the amount of money they want to pay every month, we will suffer, our brothers will not have a good time, and the wandering girls in the store will also be miserable!"

"Maybe this inheritance will be lost in my hands!"

"Uesugi-sama, please intercede with the president! Our Kagetsu group has no second heart for the Dongwen Society! ”

Uesugi Kiyoshi waved his hand, signaling Kazuki Kyo to shut up, and then spoke to Maki Higashi, who was a little confused.

"Do you want to see this kind of result?"

"Your father is really far-sighted and left you a lot of innocent groups, and the Flower Moon Group is one, but what I didn't expect is that many of those groups that can be used are on your purge..."

"Maki, where there is light, there is shadow, in this world, there are some things that someone has to do."

"If you don't do it, someone else will do it, the head of the city of Kagetsu Town will change the Great King Banner, but the business inside will not change."

"You don't care about this place, you are alone, have you ever thought about what will happen to the people here?"

"Not to mention that those in the extreme will lose their asylum, their jobs, and their financial resources."

"Many of the women who work in custom shops are forced to reach this point because of various reasons and huge debts."

"If you let them do odd jobs, they won't be able to pay off their debts for the rest of their lives, and they will only die in poverty, worse than a dog."

"I've seen a lot of this kind of thing."

Uesugi Kiyoshi let out a long sigh, his voice a little more solemn.

"Maki, you are now the leader of a while, and there are countless people under your command who are counting on you to eat, and your words and deeds are related to the vital interests of many people, and their lives."

"So, before you do something, you must think carefully and think carefully before making a decision."

"There are some things that I have done, and I have no regrets about taking the medicine."

"Just like here, if you give up the Kagetsu Group, this place is taken over by other extreme paths, and even darker things happen, those wandering girls are exploited and become tools to make money, is this what you want to see?"

"This responsibility... Who will pay? ”

"You are the president of the Dongwen Society, but Dongwen is not your Dongwen alone."

"You... Think about it. ”

Maki Tofumi understood what Uesugi Kiyoshi meant, and nodded with a complicated face.

"I see, sir... I'm in too much of a hurry, I'll go back and reflect. ”

"But..."

Maki Higashimi looked up sharply and stared at Kiyoshi Uesugi with burning eyes, his eyes glowing with strange colors.

"How much does the gentleman know..."

"How did the gentleman know that the young ladies of the custom shop were forced to owe a huge amount of debt for various reasons to get to this point?"

"Why don't you come to this kind of place?"

"Hmm... Miss Kyoko knows about this, but she's going to be sad. ”

This time it was Uesugi Kiyoshi's turn to be confused.

He was a little dumbfounded, and his eyes were full of confusion.

The point is... Is this it?
