In Shinobi Village, Spider looked at all the clues related to the elixir of immortality, and she thought again of the conversation she had with Arashi a few months ago.

Although she and Arashi are just plastic sisters, she will not hesitate to backstab Arashi during the battle to make room for Levi, and she doesn't have any feelings for Arashi, the fog demon who likes to disguise herself as Frost and deliberately seduce men, which also makes Spider feel disgusting.

But that day, Arashi's words have always been fresh in her memory.

After all, they are demons, not humans, and even if they really live a human life, the nature of demons will destroy her peaceful life.

Just like that, she will suddenly lose her mind and want to eat her lover.

"No...... There will definitely be an elixir of immortality...... I must have a way to get rid of my demonic identity......" she muttered under her breath, rummaging through the volumes of papers again.

She finally had a real home of her own, she didn't have to face enemies and disasters every day, and she was able to live with someone she loved and accepted her.

She was afraid that everything she had now would disappear in the blink of an eye.

During the investigation, she also noticed the caravan, and then the Haneda family, and then began to follow the Haneda family's records and clues.

……

Today, a caravan began to enter Kyoto.

Because of the weather, every family in Kyoto basically hides in their houses and covers for the winter, and even the nobles are basically nesting in their respective mansions at the moment and holding their wives and concubines for entertainment.

Winter should not be the time for business, both for merchants and customers, unless it is in the later era when everyone can wear a big padded jacket, winter will be conquered.

Today's Fujiwara family is very busy, very busy, Fujiwara Chihime went to deal with government affairs in the morning, and the Fujiwara family members attach great importance to this business and trade.

After all, they are the main force responsible for recycling potatoes, and the tenant farmers under the Fujiwara family are basically controlled by separate families, so after turning around in their hands, basically about 10% of the potatoes go into their own pockets.

About 10% of corruption, which is actually within the allowable range of Levi, he is not the kind of person who is particularly mentally clean, give him work, take 10% as a reward, Levi can accept.

You can't always want the horses to run, and you don't give the horses grazing, and the Fujiwara family also took out the surplus grain of the landlord's family and contributed it to Li Wei during the great famine in Kyoto some time ago, and he is now turning a blind eye to this corruption.

Of course, this is also the limit of his acceptance, as long as someone dares to exceed this number, there will be ninjas who will come to his house and invite him to tea, and as long as it exceeds 20%, then tomorrow there will be a corpse tied to a stone and sink into Lake Otsu.

Because of the existence of ninjas, how many potatoes passed through their hands Levi is clear at a glance, and those who dare to make false accounts and those who dare to conceal them have been checked.

Therefore, a cool official system like a ninja is really a perfect blade for rulers, and a hundred years later, there will be a beggar emperor on the other side of the sea who will take this system to the extreme, establishing Jinyiwei, East Factory and West Factory.

But even if it was only a 10% embezzlement, the Fujiwara family had obtained the amount of surplus grain from previous years, so these sub-landlords began to have a different mind after the surplus grain was full.

There are a lot of concubines, a lot of people who go to the flower street every day to have fun, and then use potatoes to recycle some antique calligraphy and paintings, and there are also a lot of gold, silver and jade.

Li Wei looked at all this, but he would not stop it, after all, every era must have its own institutional methods, and in Kyoto, the key is to give priority to the development of productive forces.

Now Kyoto not to mention a more superior system, in Li Wei's view, it is almost just a short time to enter the feudal society, and capital is still a fertilized egg, under this feudal morality, these feudal landlords just want to take concubines and go to the flower street to play geisha, they can already be said to be good people.

And in this case, the caravan's entry into Beijing made the people of this group feel that the potatoes in their hands were of great use all of a sudden, and they were all gearing up, ready to exchange for some good goods.

So they are for business

The team entering Beijing was the most active, and at the same time, it was also a large number of people who were ready to meet the caravan.

Levi felt that they didn't have a lot of things to do now, so let them deal with it.

So when the caravan entered Beijing, it was Fujiwara Kanenaga who personally went to greet Haneda.

"Fujiwara-sama, it's really an honor for you to come to greet us, I'm waiting for a small business, and I'm sorry to trouble you." Haneda squinted his eyes and came to Fujiwara Kanenaga with a smile on his face, and secretly handed him a bag of copper coins.

Fujiwara Kanenaga opened it and saw that it was a big rebellion and a small rebellion of the shogunate coinage, and immediately lost any interest.

Now Kyoto doesn't use anything anymore, and the only purpose of this thing is to recycle it as metal to Yin Wa.

"Haneda-kun, that's so polite, oops, your stuff seems to have fallen out." Fujiwara Kanenaga hurriedly reached out and stuffed the bag of copper coins back into Haneda's arms, like a righteous person.

In fact, it's just that the copper coin is useless, and if Haneda gave him jade or gold or silver, he would have accepted it happily.

Haneda is a little confused, this method is the first time to fail, and I can't help but have a deeper vigilance and sense of crisis for the Fujiwara family, even if it's just a person who is separated, do they have such integrity and righteousness.

The Fujiwara family is terrifying.

At this time, he had doubts about the patriarch's plan for the first time, he was not afraid that the Fujiwara family would be greedy, but he was afraid that the Fujiwara family would not be greedy.

Calming down a little, Haneda smiled and talked to Fujiwara Kanenaga.

"Fujiwara-sama, we may have to stay in Kyoto for a while, at least until the heavy snow passes, during which time we just want to trade normally in Kyoto, and communicate with each other, you can see ......" Haneda said, rubbing his hands together and lowering his posture.

"No problem, we have prepared a mansion for your caravan, and then you can live there directly, and then do business near the mansion, but without the permission of the lord, you can't leave the area without permission." Kanenaga Fujiwara said.

"Ah, Fujiwara-sama, isn't that right......" Haneda looked embarrassed.

"This is also an order from the lord of our family, and besides, the residence of the former Hojo Daimyo is given to you for the time being, and you can live in it with a little repair." Fujiwara Kanenaga said, smiling a little arrogantly.

Haneda's face darkened, he also knew that the entire family of the Hojo Daimyo was destroyed by Fujiwara, and now it is estimated that there are thousands of people's bones under the mansion, right?

After a while, Haneda took a long breath and then continued to smile and say, "Then Fujiwara-sama, we thank you for your kindness, and I ask you to bring something to the Lord, this is our little thank......

After realizing that the copper coins were of little use, Haneda sent someone to bring up the boxes.

Fujiwara Kanenaga looked at it and saw that it was full of crabs, lobsters, hairtails, and kelp, which were wrapped in snow on the spot to prevent them from rotting.

At this time, he was a little interested, and said, "I will definitely bring these items to the Lord of the Lords, then I will not bother you, and later I will have a retainer to take you to Hojo Prefecture."

Fujiwara Kanancho knew that Levi's requirements for food were relatively high, and about half of the Fujiwara family's meat basically went to Levi, although there was not much, and he couldn't even let Levi have meat every day.

Now, he thinks the seafood should be able to make Levi happy.

Seeing Fujiwara Kanenaga accept their gifts, Haneda was relieved.

After the ninja checked it, he didn't find any problems, and at most it was strange to find a woman wearing a mask in the car where the sake was stored, but after confirming that there was no problem, he let him go.

The caravan followed the retainers to the Hojo Mansion, which had been barely repaired, and at this time, Haneda's face was completely ugly.

"I'm in trouble this time, I didn't expect the Fujiwara family to be so difficult." As he spoke, he felt tricky and difficult just by entering Kyoto.

Taketori Kaguya and the elixir of immortality are his last resort, and he won't throw this king bomb at the first time.

"It seems, this outside

God has changed the atmosphere of Kyoto in just a few months." He frowned and smiled, his expression indescribably weird.

In that case, let's start with the normal business process and gradually establish ourselves in Kyoto.

On the other hand, Levi soon received the seafood sent by Kanenaga Fujiwara, and even when he saw this box of seafood, Levi was stunned for a moment.

In fact, as early as the Zhou Dynasty, there were records of eating crabs and lobsters, and the ancients were very hungry, not to mention crabs, earthworms would eat them, so this kind of seafood has always been a kind of food.

"Lord, this is a gift from Haneda, and I think you should like these things better." Fujiwara Kanenaga grinned and rubbed his cold hands, and his facial features seemed to be squeezed together.

"I'm really good at doing things, okay, I'll take it." Levi took the seafood because he was now short of these high-protein food sources.

"By the way, that caravan, keep an eye on it, and I'll also have the ninjas in the shadows take turns watching them for twelve hours, understand?"

"Hayin! I understand below." Fujiwara Kanenaga bowed before leaving.

Levi looked at the frozen seafood inside the restriction and began to check them one by one with fanatical art, and after making sure that it had not been poisoned and not rotted, he was relieved to have it taken back and preserved.

Then, with a wave of his hand, a ninja suddenly appeared and fell to his knees.

"You go and focus on investigating the news of the immortal elixir, since this caravan dares to release such information, whether it is true or not, you must find out for me."

"Ha Yin!"

After the ninja retreated, Levi looked in the direction of the original Hojo Mansion, where his napalm had completely destroyed Hojo a few months earlier.

He wanted to know how these people would behave after he restricted some of their freedom of movement, and Levi wanted to speculate whether the news about the elixir was true based on their actions.

However, for now, picking out some of the best seafood, he plans to cook a meal himself again today and go to Ninja Village to fetch the spider back.

He thinks that the spider is controlled by the instinct of the demon, whether it will also have something to do with the lack of nutrition for these months, after all, after letting a carnivorous animal eat a vegetarian diet for a period of time, the body will be a little abnormal.

He thinks that maybe he can give priority to buying some seafood to preserve, and now that the weather is cold, it seems that the snow will not melt for a while, and he can enjoy the seafood for a while these days.

……

Haneda did not sit still, whether it was to complete the tasks of the head of the family or to do business in the world, it was impossible for him to stay in the daimyo's mansion like this.

The next day, invitations were sent to the nobles of Kyoto by the retainers of the Fujiwara family.

Haneda was going to have a winter party, and he was even going to sell his wallet to go to several restaurants on Flower Street, where all the nobles could eat, drink and be merry for free.

When Levi saw this, he was also shocked, and the activities similar to the opening of the big entertainment in later generations actually had a similar prototype in this era.

But Levi only needs an order to completely abolish all their plans, but after thinking about it, Levi still agrees, and he also wants to see what new tricks this Hanedae can come up with.

So soon, the most prosperous location in Fujiwara's flower street was chartered, and even directly chartered for a month.

It was said that there would be a small winter meeting in a few days.

However, Levi decided to let them move for the time being, and the caravan could not make any waves under the surveillance of the shadows.

Today, the dinner at Fujiwara's house is potato kombu miso with steamed crab.

The spider still returned to Fujiwara Fuchu.

However, even the most sumptuous dinner was silent at the table today.

Several people didn't speak, and even the spider, which felt very out of tune, didn't move today, and sat quietly in front of the eucalyptus like Yamato Nadeshiko, eating the crab and fish that Levi had peeled softly.

This man is going crazy

The first time the guy was so quiet, Levi not only didn't feel at ease, but got goosebumps.

"I'm full...... Spider put down the bowl quickly, folded her hands, made a prayer gesture, and got up to leave.

"Let's stay today." Levi grabbed her, he felt that it was not a problem to be like this all the time, in fact, there was no big problem, he actually always summoned a stand-in before going to sleep, so that the stand-in was vigilant.

And that night, the stand-in didn't even make any movement, that is, in the eyes of the stand-in, it was a complete fight, not even an attack.

Levi felt that even if the spider was hungry again, there was enough fish and meat now, and there was no need to say that it was like a husband and wife cold war.

"I...... I'm sorry, husband......" She seemed to want to say something, but she didn't.

"Sister Yin Dong, let's stay, in fact, I didn't care, I was so tired that day, I didn't even know what happened. But with my brother here, everything is fine." Chihime also said.

"Leave it to me." Levi came over and grabbed her hand, so that she couldn't break free.

In fact, in Levi's opinion, it is not too serious, but the spider is a little too nervous, she seems to have a strong sense of unease, and even seems to be afraid that Levi will hate and abandon her, so she will act a little excessively.

And all Levi has to do is give her a sense of security.

"Don't worry, I've found traces of the elixir of immortality, leave everything to me." He said.
