Chapter 180: A Mysterious Place
Compared with those villages outside, the prosperity of Gifu Prefecture even gave Zhao Ke the illusion that this was Kyoto.
The traffic is full of people coming and going, and it is very lively.
The three of Zhao Ke discussed for a while, and the three of them went separately to inquire.
In such a down-and-out era, news tends to spread the fastest in three places.
Restaurant, J Courtyard, and Pavilion Station.
Zhao Ke originally wanted to go to J Hospital, after all, it was over there, after all, J Hospital had a unique advantage in collecting news.
It's like a ghost market, a red smoke house.
Don't look at it as just a J hospital, but as long as you are willing to spend money, any news you want to get, there, there will be clues.
It's not so much the Red Smoke Restaurant, it's J Courtyard, it's better to say that it's more of a transit and sales center for news, and the leather and meat business is just an incidental pastime and entertainment.
It's just that after Zhao Ke found the so-called J Hospital, he found that the women of the Japanese country in this era were really not suitable for their appetite.
The face is rubbed with a thick layer of powder, and I feel that when I lick it, I feel that I am full.
Therefore, Zhao Ke simply changed his route and went to find a restaurant.
Although the specifications of this restaurant are not large, the decoration is completely imitating the style of the Tang Dynasty, with people coming and going, and it looks quite hot.
Dressed in a shabby monk's clothes, the burn scar on his face, although it doesn't look so hideous and terrifying, it definitely won't be easy to see.
was swept away by the guy's gaze, and his face sank, and he immediately walked over and scolded loudly, Zhao Ke snorted coldly, and scolded two sentences of "bastard" in a stern tone.
Directly threw a piece of something over. It hit this guy right on the nose, and it made his nose bleed and tears flowed from his eyes. Rolling on the ground in pain
However, at this time, the shopkeeper's eyes suddenly lit up, and he picked up the thing that Zhao Ke threw on the man's face, which was shining gold, and it was a big golden sentence.
The Golden Judgment is also imprinted with the special mark of the shogunate.
This is full of official money, whether it is the fineness or the weight, there are strict standards, and the value is more than the price of those currencies in circulation in the market.
Besides, if such a big golden judgment is thrown out casually, the identity of the other party will definitely not be as simple as an ordinary person.
The money, of course, was stolen from the shogunate's outer treasury.
Zhao Ke took advantage of the samurai's inattention at that time, and transferred all the money in the box into the mail book, which was full of more than ten large gold judgments and silver judgments, which were all filial piety that Ashikaga Yizhao was preparing to win over the Yin Yang Shrine, of course, using the best coins.
Which guy was hit by Zhao Ke just now, before he stood up, he was kicked away by the shopkeeper: "I don't know if it's your lord, please please!" ”
No matter how depressed the status of the monk is in this era, he is worshiped by the royal family after all, and he can throw such a big golden judgment casually, and the status of the person who comes cannot be underestimated.
was enthusiastically sent to the attic private room by the boss, Zhao Ke ordered a little vegetarian food, and the guy who was smashed to the bridge of his nose by Zhao Ke before knelt aside, serving carefully, and didn't even dare to raise his head at this time.
Zhao Ke casually asked a few words, whether there was any news about it, whether there was news recently, that young men and women from mountain villages had been sent over.
In order to ask Zhao Ke for forgiveness, the guy thought about it carefully, but shook his head very firmly and said:
"My lord, I have never heard of this, besides, His Royal Highness Nobunaga has recently strictly ordered that it is forbidden to enter and exit the city gate at night, even if it is a samurai, it is not possible to enter and exit the city gate at night, how can there be young men and women in the village."
When the guy spoke, Zhao Ke kept thinking about his expression, so he knew very well that the other party would never lie to the liar himself.
Besides, now the other party hopes that he can forgive him, and if there is really news, I wish it had been told now.
"Strange!"
Zhao Ke frowned, to the east, there is only the Oda family, which can be said to occupy almost half of the Wa Kingdom.
If it weren't for the Oda family, who would have had such a big means to quietly disappear without feng shui, and transfer all the young women and children from so many surrounding villages.
Zhao Ke tried to ask the guy, if there were any rumors, such as the mountain god.
The reason why this transfer went so smoothly was that the so-called mountain gods behind it naturally had the effect of fueling the fire.
And the last time they fought, those two figures, whether they were the mountain god Zhao Ke I don't know, but they definitely won't be people, nor are they the walking corpses of the Yin Yang Divine Palace, but they are more weird than that.
"No, but ...... However, I heard that in recent times, there has been a mysterious place that has attracted a lot of people, and it is rumored that even His Highness Nobunaga has returned, but I don't know about it. ”
In order to seek Zhao Ke's understanding, the guy has already started his brain, this news is the most talked about thing in the restaurant recently, but some people say it with relish, but where it is mentioned, they are instantly silent.
So the guy just knows about it, but the specifics are not clear.
Zhao Ke nodded, took out a small silver judgment and threw it in front of the guy.
Shaking the big gold judgment in his hand, Zhao Ke signaled to him to pay attention to this matter, and if there is news, tell him as soon as possible.
The reward is naturally the golden judgment in his hand that looks the size of an adult's palm.
After sending the guys, Zhao Ke ate a few bites of food at will, not bad, at least according to Zhao Ke's strict standards, in this era of lack of seasonings, it is already very rare to be able to make a few vegetarian dishes to the extent of such care.
Speaking from the heart, the nation of the Wa Kingdom is full of servility of the upper and lower classes, and its thinking is also rigid and stubborn, but there is one point, that is, concentration, perhaps because of the lack of material, even ordinary ingredients, will use a lot of effort to do it, because in their eyes, if it is not done well, it is equivalent to waste.
After eating, Zhao Ke counted the time and gathered with Yuan Zhen at the agreed place.
As a result, when Zhao Ke passed, he found that only Yuan Zhen was alone with a bitter face, sitting on the stone and waiting, as for Lu Hao, he hadn't arrived yet.
"Did you hear anything?"
Seeing Zhao Ke, Yuan Zhen hurriedly asked, it turned out that he had inquired around the neighborhood, but not only did he not hear any news, but he was also sarcastically ridiculed by many people, so his face was not very good-looking.
In fact, in the final analysis, there is still no money.
Just like the guys in the restaurant treated Zhao Ke before, he was poor inside and out, and even the clothes on his body were patched, and no one would give a good face if he saw it.
Compared with Zhao Ke's treatment after a big gold sentence is smashed, it is a world of difference.
It can be seen that money was of sufficient importance in that era.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ke couldn't help but think of the scarface he encountered when he entered the terrifying space for the first time, he would take out such a big gold bar casually, I am afraid that it was to deal with this situation.
Zhao Ke said what the guy in the restaurant said as it was.
It's just that Yuanzhen, obviously not very interested in the mysterious place mentioned by the guy.
At this time, I saw Lu Hao walking back quickly, and after seeing Zhao Ke and Yuan Zhen, his expression was exaggerated: "Do you know who I saw just now?" Ashikaga to shine! ”
"Ashikaga to shine!"
Zhao Ke was stunned, and Ashikaga was seriously injured as he was now.
I cut off one of his arms and blinded one of his eyes, this kind of injury, not lying in bed for ten days and a half months, honestly recuperating from the injury, but running here?
"I don't know about this, but the ghost dough people are basically here, I heard that the camp is stationed outside, don't you know that the onmyoji is here?"
Thinking of Abe's Qingzu, Lu Hao's face was a little unpleasant.
"Any other news?"
For the arrival of Ashikaga Eteru, Yuanzhen didn't care at all, and even for the so-called shogunate, he didn't have a good impression at all, if it wasn't for the shogunate, I believe that the current Ritsu would still be very strong.
"No, I've inquired around, but I haven't heard anything, and there is no news of any young men and women being sent to the city, as well as news that the Oda family is going to recruit some medical officers."
"But me, there's one more piece of news!"
At this time, Lu Hao lowered his voice and wanted to get closer to Zhao Ke, but Zhao Ke was dodged and pointed at the corner of his mouth.
Lu Hao wiped his hand, only to find that there was still a short black hair on the corner of his mouth, and he suddenly looked a little embarrassed, and hurriedly threw away this hair.
Xiang Zhao Ke and Yuan Zhen said: "I heard that there is a mysterious place recently, but where it is, I don't know, it is very evil, but it seems that only people with a very high status can enter." ”
"This place again!"
Zhao Ke frowned, the guy at the restaurant also mentioned such a place, but it was very mysterious, and no one knew where it was.
"You just said that the Oda family is recruiting medical officers?"
"That's right! What are you doing? Lu Hao nodded, these news were all the news she had heard from the mouth of a housekeeper of the Oda family with great difficulty.
Zhao Ke raised his eyebrows and didn't speak, but the strange look in his eyes made Lu Hao's heart furious, and he said in his heart: "This thing doesn't plan to harm anyone again." ”
