Early the next morning, by the moat of the inner castle of the Daimyo's mansion, the screams of a woman pierced the night and ushered in the first rays of sunlight.

The woman was just an ordinary housewife, and she had long been accustomed to carrying a change of clothes and some things that needed to be washed to the moat in the morning, chatting with neighbors or friends, and washing them clean.

Last night, I quarreled with my family all night because of some trivial things, and I slept unsteadily with some indignation in my heart, and I got up before dawn, and washed my clothes by the moat alone. It seemed that smashing and beating clothes with a wooden stick would ease her emotional restlessness, and when she beat them, she imagined them as her husband, and each blow of the stick made her feel more refreshed than ever.

"Why is there still a piece of clothing?" , She touched another piece of clothing when she was about to finish, a little strange, could it be that she counted it wrong?

If you ask when the darkest time of the day is, it will not be midnight, but a moment before dawn. The moment when the sun is about to rise, it is definitely the darkest moment of the day.

Without hesitation, she pulled the clothes she touched in her hand hard, wanting to beat them, but she felt that the clothes seemed to be very heavy, was it entangled in water weeds? In the era of heavy metals and chemical pollution, many aquatic plants grew along the banks and at the bottom of inland rivers, and from time to time they would get entangled in soaked clothes. She lifted it again, and put down the stick she was using to wash her clothes, and touched her other hand as well.

Something like hair fell into her hands, and she already had a trace of fear in her heart, and the moment the sun slowly rose in the east, and the first rays of sunlight lit up the world, she saw clearly what she was holding.

A corpse.

So she screamed loudly, and many people quickly gathered around her, and several people rushed in with one heart to break through the crowd, and then scooped up the body with ugly faces.

An unrecognizable corpse, with all limbs cut off, leaving only a body and a head that can't see clearly, another headless case!

Madoka, who left the edge of the crowd of onlookers, was pale, sweating all over her body in the depths of winter. Others may not be able to see anything, but as an employee, you can definitely tell your own leader at any time. The face that couldn't be seen clearly had gradually turned into a flat appearance in Madoka's mind.

When she went to work in the store, she already had a high fever, and under the persuasion of her colleagues, she asked for leave.

At the same time, on this day, the Daimyo Mansion Ninja Baigu also received a notice from Konoha Village, and Guihei absconded because of embezzlement and misappropriation of the store's operating income. The next period of time requires everyone to work consciously, and next week the new head manager of the Daimyo Mansion will rush from Konoha to the Daimyo's Mansion to take office.

Madoka, who learned the news the next day, actually knew very well that Guiping did not abscond, he just died.

It must have been that little guy who did it!

What a demon!

In fact, Guiping also thought so before he died, he was far from being as brave as he imagined, in the holy kingdom can be said to be an extremely simple means, in the last minute of his life, he couldn't bear the pressure and confessed.

Only a very small part of the money was used, and the rest of the money went through some channels into the account of the bank. This money was not embezzled by him, but his superiors hinted that he could use a little bit of manipulation to divert some of the operating income of the ninja to serve as the organization's development fund.

In fact, the person who hinted at him did not let him do anything so blatantly, and it can even be said that for his superior, what he hoped for was a trickle of water. The inconspicuous embezzlement of 100,000 taels or 200,000 taels per month does not attract any attention, and there are sufficient methods and means to flush the misappropriated money off the ledger. But the problem is that there is a mistake in the implementation.

Maybe it's like what Guiping said on the last night of his life, he actually looks down on the Ren Wuyue family in his heart, and he looks down on those businessmen, only he and them are pure, and the rest of the people are dirt and viruses in this world. So he did these things without the slightest concealment, maybe in his opinion, even if the Ren Wuyue family found out about the problem, he would not be overly publicized.

This is the opinion of the big guys, you little Ren Wuyue family still dare to blow up the stab?

It's just that he forgot that he was just a small person, an insignificant little person, so he absconded with the money and became the second traitor in Konoha Village during this time, in addition to Orochimaru. His family will also be hit hard by this. Regardless of whether his child has the talent to become a ninja in the future, whether he can become a ninja against all odds, he will not be trusted by Konoha.

Because his father was a traitor.

As the Holy Kingdom considered that night, sometimes knowing the truth of a thing does not mean that trouble will leave you. Sometimes it's the opposite, when you think that if you know the truth, there will be no trouble, and even bigger problems will keep coming.

So he used a letter bird to send the news back to Konoha Village overnight, appearing on Orange Light's desk. Then Orange Light chatted with the advisory group and Tuan Zang for a while, and the matter was resolved.

At the same time, the two sides also understood each other's bottom line, although in a not very friendly way, but the result was within the acceptable range of everyone.

Congratulations, congratulations!

In fact, there are still many strange and suspicious points in this matter, such as as the management position of the Konoha Shadow Department, the founder of the root, the Danzo Lord, how could he hit the idea on the income of the ninja of the Daimyo Mansion? So did he make the same arrangement in other stores, and then used some simple means to flush out the "loss" of tens of thousands of taels per month on the ledger.

How many stores have been infiltrated by Tuanzang, and how much revenue has been lost every month?

These are all mysteries.

What's even more fascinating is that if the dark part or the root needs money, it can be put forward openly, and it's not the first time that Konoha Village has sheared sheep, why use this kind of subordinate means? Did the money really go into the root's funding account? Or did it go into the pockets of some other people, and really use it for other purposes?

The Holy Kingdom doesn't know, and I don't want to chase it, sometimes it's the choice of smart people to get to the point.

It's just that some people are going to complain.

"The money is gone?" In the gloomy basement, Orochimaru, whose face was pale, laughed, "This is different from what we said before!" ”

There was a shadow in the shadow not far from him, with the light on his back, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly, "This is also a matter of no choice, after being discovered by that little ghost, it will become complicated to do anything else." ”

Orochimaru snorted indifferently, "Without money, many experiments will stop, and if this is what you want, you can act as if nothing happened." ”

The black shadow smiled, "Don't wait too long, soon, it will be solved soon." As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared with a thud, leaving no trace.

Orochimaru only retracted his gaze at this time and looked at the other little ghost on the side, "He said you can help me, are you sure?" ”

The little guy pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose and nodded very respectfully, "Yes, Orochimaru-sama, I'm sure I can help you." In the past few years, I have studied medical ninjutsu very thoroughly. ”

"I almost forgot, you little ghost is not a worry-free person." , Orochimaru casually handed over a copy of the material to the child who was exactly the same as the photo Fujiwara Takeshi handed over to the Holy Country, "This is my test for you, if you pass you will become my assistant, if you fail, you will not be useless, at least I have one more free human experiment." ”

The empty bottom hole ** suddenly echoed with Orochimaru's somewhat grotesque laughter, which lasted for a long time.
