"It's time for us to go, uh, what are you guys doing at the dinner table?"

Alice, who was on the side, got up and said, "There are no outsiders here, who are you pretending to be deep for?" ”

Liu Xing shook his head with a smile and said, "It's okay, I just told them an interesting story, by the way, does Miss Sawada have any special arrangements today?" ”

"Yes, Shimazu Nakano will arrange for some people to pick us up later, so Miss Sawada needs you to select a few people to blend into the convoy sent by Shimazu Nakano, and if you have a chance, ask the people in the same car what they think about this matter, and we must now investigate the attitude of the ordinary members of the Shimazu family towards us; In addition, after coming to the hospital, we just need to adhere to one sentence - more to say more wrong, less to say less wrong, not to say good. Alice said seriously.

Zhang Jingxu nodded and said: "That's right, we really don't have room to talk later, because the other forces in the martial arts faction should send people to pay attention to this matter, and even some forces will end up in person, so we, the little minions of the Sawada family, have no right to speak, and if we say the wrong word, we may be chased and beaten by people from other forces, so let's be honest bodyguards, but then again, Did the Shimazu family send us a message about those forces that might stand up and find fault today? ”

Alice smiled mysteriously and said word by word, "Rashomon." ”

Rashomon?

Listening to these three familiar words, Yin En couldn't help but complain: "Isn't this Rashomon the name of a movie, why is there really a secret church that can't figure out what its name should be, so it just uses the name of the movie I watched yesterday as a signboard." ”

Alice smiled and explained: "Yin En, what you said is actually right, there are indeed many secret churches in the island country that call themselves Rashomon, and some people have even counted that among the secret churches that are slightly famous in the island country, the name with the largest number of duplicate names is Rashomon, after all, the three words Rashomon are not so famous in the island country not only because of that movie, but because the symbolic meaning of Rashomon in the ancient island country is equal to the mass burial gang in ancient China, plus there were indeed many mythical creatures that would gather in Rashomon back then, That's why there are so many secret churches called Rashomon. ”

"But this time this secret church called Rashomon is the most famous existence among all Rashomon, because it may be the first secret church called Rashomon, and the founder of this secret church is said to be a powerful mythical creature, but it has not been heard from since it created Rashomon, and all this matter can only be said to be verified; However, the overall strength of this Rashomon is still quite good, although there are no ten major forces that can enter our martial arts faction, but there should be no problem in entering the top 100 forces, and even entering the ranks of Tiangang is a breeze. ”

"In this case, the strength of this Rashomon is actually not much worse than that of the Shimazu family?" Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and said.

Again, the Shimazu family, or all the families in the top ten forces, are far inferior to those secret churches in terms of overall strength, if it weren't for the fact that the battle of public martial arts requires these families to stand on the bright side, maybe the ten major forces of this martial arts faction will be controlled by the secret church.

Alice sighed, nodded and said: "That's right, the overall strength of this Rashomon is actually not much different from the Shimazu family, but because the Shimazu family now has a lot of manpower under Shimazu Hiromichi, and Shimazu Hiromichi is taking these people to stay in Kagoshima to watch the show, so just relying on Shimazu Nakano's manpower in Osaka, he will definitely not be able to beat this Rashomon, so some forces with ulterior motives plan to arrange Rashomon to appear today to stir up the situation, of course, the reason why it is Rashomon, Or is it because there is a person in Rashomon called Shimazu Ke. ”

"This is someone from the Shimazu family? That's kind of interesting. Ding Kun put down the dishes and chopsticks and said.

Alice took out her mobile phone and shook it, and said: "It's a long story about this Shimazu carving, so I have already sent you all the news in this regard, and you should be able to know the cause and effect of this matter by looking at it yourself; In short, if nothing else, Rashomon is likely to arrange for Shimazu to be the first to stand up and attack. ”

After Alice finished speaking, she went back to change clothes with Sawada Yayin and the others.

Liu Xing took out his mobile phone and clicked on the document Alice sent him.

Shimazu is not a member of the Shimazu family in the strict sense, because Shimazu's grandfather was expelled from the Shimazu family before Shimazu's father was born, and although the Shimazu family did not explain the reason for the expulsion, anyone who knows about the Shimazu family can guess that Shimazu's grandfather is likely to take something that should not be taken.

There is a gold mine in the Hishikari area of Kagoshima, which is the largest gold mining area in the island country, and it is said that more than half of the gold in the island country is produced here.

Therefore, as the real controller of Kagoshima, the Shimazu family naturally would not give up this gold mine, and when the Shimazu family was fighting openly and secretly with the Tokugawa shogunate, it relied on this gold mine to maintain the huge expenses of the Shimazu family, and it was also this gold mine that supported the Satsuma Domain, where the Shimazu family was located, became the main force in the fallen forces, so this gold mine has always been controlled by the Shimazu family; By the way, the "roller coaster" that Zhang Jingxu and others were riding in Kagoshima at that time was actually in a gold mine that had already been mined.

So in order to control this gold mine, the Shimazu family naturally arranged a descendant to be responsible for the management, and Shimazu's grandfather was one of them, and before being expelled from the Shimazu family, Shimazu's grandfather had become the mine manager of this gold mine.

Although as a descendant of the Shimazu family, Shimazu's grandfather relied on the allowance provided by the family and his own salary to actually not lack money, but he accidentally entered a game made by others, and as a result, he lost all his savings at the gambling table, and finally owed a lot of money to those people, so Shimazu's grandfather could only choose to make a fuss on the gold mine, and was discovered by other family members on the gold mine.

As the foundation of the Shimazu family, this gold mine is even far more important than the Shimazu Mansion, so after the Shimazu carved grandfather was exposed, he was naturally expelled from the Shimazu family. . . Of course, this is actually related to the situation that Shimazu's grandfather's lineage has completely declined, and this lineage has only one cousin who is still in elementary school in addition to Shimazu's grandfather, so when no one speaks for Shimazu's grandfather, Shimazu's grandfather can only watch himself being expelled from the family.

After all, for the other descendants of the Shimazu family, it would be better to have one less descendant now, because many things in the Shimazu family are divided equally among the descendants.

After being expelled from the Shimazu family, although Shimazu's grandfather still got a settling-in fee, this money was still too little for Shimazu's grandfather, who was accustomed to wealth, so Shimazu's grandfather quickly spent the money, if it wasn't for his cousin who had been secretly helping him, I'm afraid Shimazu's grandfather would have to live on the streets.

After more than ten years in this way, Shimazu's grandfather finally woke up like a dream, accepted his fate, began to live and work like an ordinary person, and then got married and had children.

Although Shimazu's grandfather went astray, the reason why Shimazu's grandfather had the opportunity to go astray was because Shimazu's grandfather was talented and intelligent, and he was one of the smartest people among the descendants of the Shimazu family in that generation, so he was able to become the mine manager of that gold mine after completing his studies, so when Shimazuke was born, his grandfather had become the mine manager of a mining area on Sado Island.

If it weren't for the fact that the gold mines on Sado Island had been exhausted and were now available as a tourist attraction, Shimazu's grandfather might have been able to achieve the goal of being the mine manager of the largest gold mines under the Shogunate and the shogunate.

But the most important thing is that the headquarters of Rashomon in Alice's mouth is on Sado Island.

During the Tokugawa Shogunate, the Sado Island Gold Mine was the largest gold mine under the control of the Tokugawa Shogunate, and it was also the largest gold mine in the island country at that time, and it has always been an important weight for the Tokugawa Shogunate to stabilize its own finances.

As a result, a large number of miners are killed and injured every day in the Sado Island Gold Mine for various reasons, and new miners are sent to Sado Island by the Tokugawa shogunate every day, so new "people" move in to the "Rashomon" on Sado Island every day.

So, Rashomon soon took root on Sado Island and began to absorb those miners to join them, and over time Rashomon grew and became the only secret church on Sado Island, but the top management of Rashomon was also very smart, and they did not touch the mold of the Tokugawa shogunate, because they knew that if they dared to touch the gold mines on Sado Island, the Tokugawa shogunate would definitely send a large army to encircle and suppress them.

In this way, Rashomon swallowed his anger on Sado Island for hundreds of years, and finally became the actual controller of Sado Island after the curtain fell, which can be regarded as coming to the stage.

Although Rashomon is a secret church, Rashomon does not regard money as dung like other secret churches, but relies on various minerals on Sado Island to accumulate capital, and then purchased a large amount of land in various parts of the island country, so that it quickly took root in various parts of the island country, in a sense, Rashomon is also the largest secret church in the island country, and it is also one of the secret churches with the largest number of members.

But the most important thing is that there is a gossip circulating in the secret church circles of the island country that more than one-third of the Rashomon in the entire island country is actually a branch of the Rashomon on Sado Island, but the Rashomon of Sado Island has never admitted that those Rashomon are related to themselves, but some secret churches have indeed found evidence to prove that some Rashomon is indeed related to the Rashomon of Sado Island.

Back to the point, Shimazu didn't know that he was actually a member of the Shimazu family at the beginning, and he didn't know that his grandfather was once a member of the Shimazu family, but he always had a question, that is, why he had the surname Shimazu.

Although there was no requirement that ordinary people could not have the surname Shimazu or Oda when the island country carried out the national identity registration, the vast majority of ordinary people were very conscious of avoiding these family surnames that still exist today, so as long as you meet someone with the surname Shimazu or Oda in the island country, you can be sure that this person is from the Shimazu family or the Oda family.

Therefore, when Shimazu was a child, he asked his grandfather if he was a member of the Shimazu family, because his friends have always said that his family is "rubbing the heat", and he uses the name of the Shimazu family to put gold on his face.

As a result, Shimazu's grandfather is a straight person, since he has been expelled from the Shimazu family, then he is naturally not a member of the Shimazu family, so Shimazu's grandfather can only admit that he is an ordinary person born in Kagoshima, and because he envies the Shimazu family, he changed his surname to Shimazu.

This made Shimazu very depressed, and as a result, it gave Rashomon an opportunity, and they found the opportunity to tell Shimazu the "truth" of this matter, a truth after their adaptation and addition, simply put, the reason why Shimazu's grandfather was expelled from the family was changed to being framed by a certain clan, because this clan originally wanted to be the mine manager of the Kagoshima gold mine.

I don't know if this is a coincidence or a Rashomon game, the person who once competed with Shimazu's grandfather for the position of mine manager is Shimazu Nakano's grandfather.

As a result, Shimazu Ke has since held a grudge against Shimazu Nakano, a cousin he has never met, and he has also been firmly in the position of the elder of Rashomon over the years, and is expected to become the next leader.

"The plot of this story is a bit interesting, but after so many years of this Shimazu carving, haven't you thought that you might be deceived? I guess he should have a chance to learn the truth from his grandfather, right? Like before his grandfather died? Zhang Wenbing put down his phone and said.

Liu Xing shook his head and said seriously: "Obviously, nine times out of ten, Shimazu's grandfather was controlled by Rashomon when he entered Sado Island, because today's Sado Island is Rashomon's people from beginning to end, so the people in charge of those mines on Sado Island must be people trusted by Rashomon, so Shimazu's grandfather was calculated by this Rashhomon at the beginning, maybe the person who set up the bureau for Shimazu's grandfather back then was also from Rashomon." ”
