Chapter 43: "The Lord of the Two Springs Domain"

Māori Detective Agency.

On the coffee table in the living room, the originally sumptuous and tempting dishes seemed to have been looted by a tornado, and in the blink of an eye, they became scattered.

Maori Kogoro took a can of beer that had just been opened, looked at the rice in his bowl that had only moved a bite, and then looked at the other side, his hands had turned into an afterimage, and Suzuki Sonoko, who was showing off the third bowl of rice, his eyelids jumped wildly and said:

"Hey, hey, you're the second lady of the Suzuki Foundation, just go to someone else's house to eat, can you pay attention to your image?"

"Hmm...... Well, what can I do! Suzuki Sonoko picked up a large piece of saury in her right hand, and took the fourth bowl of rice handed by Mao Lilan with her left hand, "It's Xiaolan, her craftsmanship is amazing!" ”

"You ......"

"Well...... Forget it, Dad, it's rare for her to come to the garden. ”

Maoliran took another can of beer and smiled softly.

Kogoro swallowed his saliva and hurriedly took the beer, but he still whispered in his mouth:

"Cut, what kind of eldest lady, actually went to someone else's house to eat white food......"

Although he is still complaining, Kogoro, who can drink an extra can of beer, is about to fly happily at the corners of his mouth, where will he care if the rice at home will be eaten up.

…

After eating, Mao Lilan helped the garden, which was already too long to walk, and came to a limousine outside the office.

In order to be good friends with Maorilan for life, Suzuki Sonoko has actually been driving without a housekeeper to pick him up since he was in elementary school.

But today's situation is more special, Suzuki Sonoko's father, Suzuki Shiro, after hearing the news that Sonoko fainted, immediately contacted his friends in the police department, and after learning about the situation of Sonoko, he ordered the housekeeper to let him take Sonoko home in person today.

I didn't want to embarrass Mr. Housekeeper, and I was really scared, and I was still a little weak until now, so Suzuki Sonoko agreed to my father's suggestion.

…

"Yuanzi, are you really not going to Erquan Temple with us tomorrow?" Mao Lilan looked at Suzuki Sonoko, who was struggling to sit in the car, and said regretfully: "Pasture...... Mr. Host said that no matter how many people we go, we can do it! ”

"Ah, about ...... thing"

"Mr. Host is a tall and handsome handsome guy!"

"Big handsome guy! How ......"

Hearing the word "handsome guy", Suzuki Sonoko was obviously excited, but she didn't know what to remember, and after she looked at the housekeeper driver in front of her, she shook her head in embarrassment:

"I'm sorry, Xiaolan, I may not really be able to go to Erquan Temple."

"Is that so...... That's a shame. ”

Maolilan nodded thoughtfully.

She saw that Suzuki Sonoko didn't want to go to Ersenji Temple, but that she couldn't go for some reason, but she didn't continue to ask questions.

Inside the car, Suzuki Sonoko breathed a sigh of relief, and after saying goodbye to Maoriran with her hands folded twice, she waved goodbye to Maoriran.

"Xiaolan, next week's metropolitan conference, you must win the championship!"

The low-key luxury black limousine slowly drove away from the streets of 2-chome......

…

…

"Mr. Kobayashi (housekeeper), I remember that my mother seemed to say a few days ago that people from the Suzuki family were forbidden to go to Ersenji Temple, do you know why?"

On the limousine, Sonoko Suzuki recalled the look of her best friend who wanted to speak and stopped, and finally asked what was in her heart.

Butler Xiaolin glanced in the rearview mirror and said with a smile: "Second Miss has never cared about these things at home before, but this time she opened her mouth because she was worried about Miss Xiaolan, right?" ”

Sonoko Suzuki nodded without hesitation.

Such a straightforward reaction made the housekeeper stunned for a moment, and then he smiled and said, "Hahaha...... The relationship between Miss Er and Miss Xiaolan is really enviable. ”

"Mr. Kobayashi!"

"Good ......" The housekeeper shook his head and said with a straight expression: "Actually, this matter is not a secret in the circle, and the ban on Erquan Temple is not only the Suzuki family, this is actually the consensus of the four major consortia." ”

"What!?" Sonoko Suzuki was surprised: "How is this possible? Erquan Temple is just a temple, even if its geographical location and area are indeed very attractive, but it will not be banned by the four major consortia, right? ”

"Erquan Temple is not just an ordinary temple......" Butler Kobayashi shook his head mysteriously, "Haven't Second Miss heard of the title of 'Erquan Domain Master'?" ”

"The lord of the Erquan Domain? Do you say ......"

"That's right, the successive hosts of Erquan Temple are what people call the lord of Erquan Domain." The butler nodded and explained, "During the Edo period, the shogunate established a ruling system called the 'shogunate feudal system' to maintain its rule, and the lord of each feudal domain was the supreme ruler of the domain. ”

"Although the presiding officer of Erquan Temple is only a monk, he took advantage of the ancestors of the surrounding forces buried in his temple, and successfully brought everyone together with the technique of balance and checks and balances, so that he was recognized by the shogunate and became the lord of the Erquan domain in people's mouths."

"Today, although the times have long been different, the families who supported the lord of the Erquan Domain in the past, or their descendants, are still active in the business and political worlds of Yuben."

"Although the lord of the Niquan clan is no longer the ruler of the past, he still maintains the absolute core of the unity and mutual assistance of all the feudal lords."

"Second Miss, you said that if one day, the lord of the Erquan clan suddenly murdered the monks in the temple and killed him, and the newly appointed lord of the Erquan domain was a stranger that everyone was not familiar with, how would the feudal lords react?"

"What's the reaction...... Suzuki Sonoko blinked, and suddenly spread his hands and said, "How do I know about such a troublesome thing?" ”

"Uh......" The housekeeper was stunned, and shook his head helplessly: "Actually, if the second lady really wants to go to Erquan Temple, just go." ”

"Really!?" Sonoko Suzuki sat up straight suddenly, but then wondered, "But, mother, he's not scared......"

"You misunderstood, the Suzuki family is not afraid." Steward Kobayashi said proudly: "Madam, she actually just doesn't want to be misunderstood, so that outsiders think that the affairs of Erquan Temple are related to the Suzuki family, but if Second Miss, you are interested in becoming the wife of the lord of Erquan Domain...... I think Madame, she will definitely support you fully. ”

"Domain, Lady of the Domain!?"

Sonoko Suzuki was stunned for a moment, then leaned back in her chair with a flushed face, falling into all kinds of romantic fantasies.

She remembered that Xiaolan had just said that the new host of Erquan Temple was a tall and handsome handsome guy!

In the driver's seat, Butler Kobayashi looked at the second miss who was already drooling through the rearview mirror, and added with a slight smile: "However, if the second miss walks on this road, I am afraid she will become the same person as Madame." ”

"Huh?" Suzuki Sonoko suddenly sat up straight and said decisively: "No, she is her, I am me, I will not become a person like her!" ”

"It depends on the second miss, your choice......

The housekeeper looked at the road ahead with a calm face, and said seriously: "If the second lady really goes to the Erquan Temple, those who have been waiting for the new Erquan Domain Lord to make a statement...... Oh, when the time comes, the operation of Erquan Temple, I'm afraid it will all depend on you, Second Miss. ”

Suzuki Sonoko frowned and said impatiently, "I don't understand what you're saying, I can go to Ersenji Temple anyway, right?" ”

The housekeeper smiled and nodded: "Of course, in Yuben, no one can stop the second lady of the Suzuki family from going where she wants to go." ”
