"Inu? What is this? Is it hanging? Is it more than our six micros? The stallion asked, unconvinced.

"I don't know what to say about this, because they are two types of families with completely different natures." Manjiro said solemnly.

"Well, I really didn't see it at first, but listening to Manjiro-san's reminder, I remembered that the Ten Nights Dance Festival was a ritual of the Inu clan before killing people, and because it was too old, the mainstream culture would not specifically record and circulate their family, so I didn't see it for a while. Although on the whole, their strength is not as good as Ouyang's family alliance, but the Yinu clan is an extremely special existence, their origin is very mysterious, no one knows when they began to be hired by nobles to be responsible for executions, they are a family that is feared, scolded and cursed by the world, there are many people who try to eliminate them, but without exception they all failed, until the Meiji Restoration period when Fuso was fully westernized and the beheading was canceled, perhaps because of the fear of being sought revenge, this family suddenly disappeared, it turns out that they came here. Takashi Kato said.

"It sounds like it's a family of executioners with a long history, and it doesn't seem to be anything special, anyway, now that I have time, I ask Dean Kato to solve my doubts." I said.

I don't know anything about the Inu clan, but I don't think they're just executioners, otherwise Manjiro wouldn't be so jealous, knowing that he's the descendant of Fuso's true One Piece.

"Hehe, Ouyang is in charge, they are not just executioners, they are just part-time, they mainly do two things, one is to be a professional knife tester, and the other is to sell 'human pills', as for the more specific situation, then it will trouble Your Excellency Kato, I am really not good at talking about these things." Manjiro would have shaken the pot and kicked the ball directly to Taka Kato.

"Well, okay, then please listen carefully, the greatest scientists of our time are going to give lectures." Takashi Kato said.

I may not be willing to change someone, but I just met Kato Taka who likes to lecture, just right.

Listening to the secret stories, everyone likes them, even the stallions and long-mouthed people who have always loved to shout listen quietly.

As a professional scholar, it didn't take much time for Kato to make the situation of the Inu clan clear.

Let's talk about the sword tester first, Fuso has experienced thousands of years of samurai rule in ancient times, the samurai are the ancient nobles, and the katana is a symbol of the status of the samurai.

And the knife tester is a "professional" who specializes in testing the level of the katana.

However, this so-called test knife is completely different from the test knife in the usual sense that we understand.

As the name suggests, it is a test chopping method that uses the human body as a target and uses the sword to be tested to chop each human body part, and according to the degree of cutting, the excellent grade of the sword is scored!

Corpses are generally used, mostly death row prisoners or road deaths where no one collects the corpses, and occasionally live people or even sneak attacks on passers-by.

The specific knife test process is to place the corpse in a special place and use a knife to cut off the hands, feet, bones, etc. in turn.

A more common practice is to stack several corpses on top of each other, and then test that one knife can cut several layers, cutting one layer is called "one carcass", two layers are called "two carcass", generally speaking, the one that can reach "three carcass" is the treasure knife, which is called "karma", and ordinary samurai can only have one "one carcass" at most.

If there is anyone who can cut off the seven carcasses at once, it will be called a "great karma", and it is a priceless treasure that can be used as an heirloom sword.

Because the katana that has been "appraised" by the knife tester is so "precious", the samurai regard the katana as something more important than their own lives, and even if they lose their land and become a ronin, they will not pawn or sell their katana because of poverty.

There are many people who try knives, but unlike the Inu clan, they are the most popular among the princes and nobles of Fuso, and they often have to spend a lot of money to invite them to come and try knives, because they are the only ones who insist on using live people to try knives.

Therefore, not only the samurai nobles, but also many wealthy families have asked them to come to their door-to-door service.

Not only did they cut off their heads, but they also used living people to pose in various poses before cutting off their heads, and cut them in different parts in order during the painful howls of the executed.

And the Enu clan can get dozens of times more than the reward for the execution of the death penalty for a single attempt.

If you think that this is all that is all the evil deeds of the Inu clan, you are very wrong.

The family also has an evil business that makes a lot of money - selling "human pills".

Before penicillin was invented, lung disease (I think tuberculosis) was a terminal disease, and the Inushi believed that human liver, brain, bile, and bile could be used to cure lung disease.

It is said that "human gall pills" are miraculous in the treatment of cough, and the demand for Fuso is in short supply for a while, when lung disease is prevalent.

At the beginning of the Meiji era, the price of one "human pill" was almost equivalent to the average person's monthly income.

Trying knives, killing people, selling medicines, in general, as long as there is a death penalty, the Inu clan will continue to prosper.

According to Fuso's historical records, a professional executioner usually kills 2,000 people in ten years when he is in office, and 6,000 people if he debuts at the age of 20 and retires at the age of 50.

And the Inu clan is not only an executioner, but also a professional knife tester, and there is no statistics for several generations, but it is conservatively estimated that at least 100,000 people or even more have been killed.

After listening to Taka Kato's account, we fell into a brief silence, all trying to digest the information and try to figure out the crux of the matter.

"I haven't figured it out a little, why are they here for Xu Fu's elixir? If so, why not attack us at the beginning of the chain flap and go to such great lengths? If not, then what is the purpose of the Hundred Households? Why did they become like this? "I'm asking myself, and I'm also hoping that someone else can give me a little hint.

"Damn, I didn't expect this grandson of Baihu Shi to have such a background, Zhen Nima is disgusting, the medicine they made, is there really anyone willing to take it? We should rush out and kill him right away! It doesn't matter what his purpose is, just kill him! The stallion said hatefully.

"Sister of the Yue family, what do you think?" I asked.

"He's blocking our way and we have to get rid of him." Yue Mingmo said.

"OK, everyone is almost rested, let's go!" I paused, and walked forward.
