Chapter Seventy-Three: The Mystery of His Origins
A few dozen steps further from this small street are the high-rise buildings that are brightly lit day and night, but the street itself remains the old appearance of the post-World War II period, and on both sides of the road are old-fashioned Japanese houses, and the sycamore and cherry trees are planted in front of the houses, which has a quiet and dilapidated taste.
"I'm an outcast of the times, and I deserve to live in a shabby old place. It's not like you, you're still as amorous as before." Master Yue added an extra piece of barbecued pork to the noodles and placed it in front of Ange.
"Actually, it's not that no one knows the news that you're still alive, Ah He knows, didn't he come to harass you? He asked me to come to you, really, and wasted all my effort. A real estate brokerage company told me that this street has not changed for more than 60 years, and the landowner is Uesugi Koshi, do you know that if it weren't for the land tax that Aga has helped you pay for decades, this street would have been taken away by the government a long time ago, and you wouldn't even have the right to sell ramen on this street." Ange took a sip of the milky soup.
"Who wants him to be nosy?" Master Yue frowned, "It doesn't matter who owns this land, I can still sell my ramen in a cart anyway."
"It's a $1.2 billion street. Previously, a company was willing to pay $1.2 billion for the land for commercial development, but it had to give up because it couldn't find a landowner. You have a $1.2 billion piece of land dedicated to a ramen stall, so don't pretend to be poor in front of me."
"But I'm really poor, and I've been selling ramen to support myself all these years. The only valuable things I have in my hands now are this ramen stall and this land, but if I sell the land, it will be developed into skyscrapers, and all these old houses will have to be demolished, and the old trees will have to be removed, and there will be no place for old things like me." Master Yue cleaned up the table as he spoke, "Since that guy Inuyama He leaked the information to you, why didn't he accompany you?"
"Ah He is busy, he can't pull away, the former patriarch of the Eight Snake Families, called Tachibana Masamune, is a ruthless character, and Ah He has to be careful to walk on thin ice, but I don't think Ah He is too embarrassed to come to see you, and even more embarrassed to come with me to see you." Ange said.
"Then what are you running to find ***? I'm of little use to you, people like me are just the waste of the old days." Master Yue wiped the table and said.
"Actually, it's nothing special, and I don't need to use your old shit," Ange pulled out his pocket watch and looked at the time, "but there's something I'd like to tell you about, and I'll borrow your territory to meet my students."
"I've been retired for over sixty years, Ange." Uesugi looked slightly bitter, "When I retired sixty years ago, I burned down my family's shrine, and I said that I had done enough to sever ties. No matter what they do, you have nothing to do with me, do you? I'm just a retired underworld, I'm washing my hands of the golden basin, OK? Can I ask you not to disturb my purity?"
"What are you anxious about? The rotten ship still has three pounds of nails, I came to you because we are friends! At least let you know how big the basket is that your children poke, and by the way, wouldn't it be nice to meet the good young people?" Ange said slowly.
"It's ridiculous! Back then, I fought you to the death, and there is no truth in this world that if you don't see your rival for too long, you will become friends." Uesugi snorted, "Also, I'm not interested in meeting any young people."
"It's not up to you." Ange smiled and put his pocket watch back, "The man has arrived."
As soon as Ange finished speaking, a taxi came from the corner of the street and stopped safely next to the ramen stall.
Both Ange and Uesugi set their eyes on the taxi, and saw two young people, a man and a woman, holding hands, getting out of the taxi, looking like a young couple in love, unwilling to let go for a moment.
Seeing this scene, Ange immediately showed a relieved smile on his face, and Uesugi Yue's eyes moved slightly, hiding a trace of doubt that was not easy to detect.
"Hey! Good afternoon, Headmaster!" Lu Mingfei beckoned to Ange, and took Eri Yi to find a seat in front of the ramen stall and sat down.
"It's not easy to see you," Ange teased, "and this is the one Caesar said they were?"
Lu Mingfei didn't know what Caesar told the principal, but he thought of this "Caesar them".
The collection, including Caesar and Chu Zihang, were all reliable seniors, and there was a sense of trustworthiness, so they nodded.
Seeing this, Ange smiled even more, turned to Uesugi and said, "Well, this is the excellent young man I want to introduce to you, Lu Mingfei, he is a very good child, if it weren't for his efforts, I really planned to ask you for help."
"Just call me Master Yue." Uesugi looked at Eri Yi with a serious face, and asked Lu Mingfei, "I noticed it last time, boy, who is this girl next to you from the Snake Qi Eight Family?"
Lu Mingfei was stunned and looked at Ange.
Ange nodded, "This old guy is the former ...... of the Eight Snake Families The former patriarch, the last "emperor", there is nothing that cannot be said to him."
"Eri is the head of the Uesugi family of the Snake Qi Eight Family, and the sister of Gen Zhisheng, the current head of the Elder Gen family." Lu Ming told the truth.
Uesugi opened his mouth to say something, but saw Eri Yi stretch out two fingers and gesture at him.
Just as he was confused, he saw Lu Mingfei explain apologetically, "Eri Yi means two bowls of ramen."
The scene was a little quiet for a while, and Uesugi glanced at Eri, then again, and again, and the natural girl shook her two outstretched fingers, as if wondering why the ramen stall owner didn't react.
Uesugi felt that this scene didn't seem to be the time to make ramen, but looking at Eri's unwavering gaze, somehow, Uesugi suddenly felt that this request was quite reasonable.
Isn't it natural to talk about things at a ramen stall and order two bowls of ramen while eating and talking?
With an inexplicable idea, Uesugi walked into the ramen cart and began to make ramen.
"Well, this - Master Yue, has always been like this...... Dedication?" Lu Mingfei felt a little strange and a little embarrassed, looked at Ange, and asked.
"When he was still in the Snake Qi Hachiya, I am afraid that it was the opposite of the word dedication, but after all, I have opened a ramen stall on this street for more than 60 years, and I may have developed a work ethic." Ange replied.
After a while, Uesugi came out with two bowls of ramen and two boiled eggs.
Eri pushed a bowl of ramen in front of Lu Mingfei, folded her hands into the "I'm moving" program, and began to eat ramen in small bites.
Lu Mingfei looked at the ramen, and then at Uesugi Yue, but was glared at by Uesugi Yue, and he was a little confused, so he had to eat ramen as well.
After eating a bowl of noodles, Uesugi took the bowl, and then continued the previous topic, he looked at Eri Yi and sneered: "Even if the inner three families are already dead, there is no need to make fake descendants of the Tachibana family and the Gen family. These juniors are really getting more and more."
"What did you say?" Ange and Lu Mingfei were shocked.
"When I was still in the Snake Eight Family, the Inner Three Family was already dead, the Gen family and the Tachibana family were long gone, and the Uesugi family was passed down from generation to generation from my father's generation. The super hybrids of the Eight Snake Clans are finished with me." Uesugi shrugged.
"You mean, neither Tachibana Masamune nor Gen Zhisheng are really descendants of the three families?" Ange asked.
"Maybe a few children from the outer five families passed on to the inner three families, and changed their surnames to Yuan, Tachibana or Uesugi, but they are all fake, the real inner three families are the families that inherit the imperial blood, and it is impossible for a person with an outer surname to become an emperor." Uesugi said.
"Master Yue, maybe what you said is right, but there is one thing I can be sure of." Lu Mingfei suddenly said, "The current patriarch of the Eight Snake Qi Families, the head of the Yuan family, Yuan Zhisheng, he is indeed a super half-blood."
"Impossible!" Uesugi disagreed.
"I've got a recording here, and maybe you'll have a different judgment after listening to it." Lu Mingfei took out his mobile phone and turned on a recording, which was a conversation between an old man and a young man.
"It's a long story, and it's going to start with my youth...... old man's voice said.
After the recording was played, Uesugi looked at the mobile phone in Lu Mingfei's hand blankly, as if it was some kind of puzzling problem, and after a while, he spoke, "I...... I don't
It's clear, who's talking in the recording? What do they mean by that?"
"The person who speaks in the recording is the former patriarch of the Snake Eight family, Tachibana Masamune, and the current patriarch, Gen Zhisheng, and the young girl they are talking about is Gen Zhisheng's younger brother." Lu Mingfei explained.
"If what is said in the recording is true, then Tachibana Masamune and Gen Zhisheng are not members of the Outer Five." Lu Mingfei continued, "This is also consistent with the information we know, twenty years ago, Tachibana Masamune brought the Genji Shengyuan Daughter brother to Japan, and fostered the brothers in the Kobe Mountains, ten years ago, Tachibana Masamune pulled Gen Zhisheng into the Snake Eight Family, and Gen Zhisheng recognized his ancestors and became the head of the Yuan family after the bloodline test of the Snake Eight Family."
"Therefore, the Genzhi Shengyuan Female Brothers and Tachibana Masamune were originally "outsiders", and they passed the bloodline test of the Eight Snake Clans before they were recognized as members of the Inner Three Clans." Lu Mingfei said.
Uesugi frowned: "No, that's not what I care about, I mean, if the source of the child you are talking about is really a super half-blood, then where does the imperial blood in his body come from?"
Lu Mingfei and Ange glanced at each other, then looked at Uesugi Yue and did not speak.
Uesugi didn't speak, and the three of them stared at each other.
"You asked so, where did the imperial blood on Yuan Zhisheng's body come from, don't you have any points in your heart?" Eventually, Ange spoke, "He and his brother are both test-tube babies, and that experiment is inherited from the experiments of the Germans during World War II, and there are a batch of genetic samples from Japan, do you want to remember whether the genetic samples were provided to the Germans in the first place?"
As if the guess in his mind had been confirmed, Uesugi stood for a long time with straight eyes, then glared at Ange, trembled his lips, and said hesitantly, "Can you create an IVF with just a few genetic samples?" Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"Where am I going from to be sure?" Ange said angrily, "It's your son and not mine, if you really want to know, you can drag them to do a paternity test." Do you know about paternity tests? Paternity tests aren't high-tech anymore, and it's easy to find out if they're your son for a little money."
Uesugi suddenly fidgeted, his gaze wandered, he looked at Eri, and immediately pointed at Eri excitedly and said, "What about her? Eri Yi? Eri Uesugi Eri? She, she, she...... You didn't explain how she came to be with the identities of the three families, did you? Isn't she ......?"
"I think you're stunned." Ange glanced at Eri and said, "According to Tachibana Masamune, Eri is his daughter."
Lu Mingfei felt Eri Yi holding his hand tightly, and realized that Uesugi Yue's sudden excitement had scared her, and hurriedly said to Uesugi Yue: "Master Yue, don't be excited, if you want to meet them, I just have a chance here to take you to meet that younger brother, Yuan Zhinu."
Lu Mingfei said and looked at Ange: "Caesar, they all told the principal about the invitation."
"So that's a coincidence?" Ange said, pulling out an invitation from his bosom that was signed "Ruri Kazama", "This is the invitation that Caesar asked me to bring you."
Lu Mingfei took the invitation and looked at it: "It just so happens that this invitation is specially made by Ruri Kazama, and you can bring two people."
Uesugi leaned over and looked, "What is it? Ruri Kazama? Kabuki performances? What does this have to do with my son?"
"This Ruri Kazama is Gento, and he invited my students to watch the show, and of course, it's not just about acting." Ange glanced at Uesugi Goshi, "If you want to go and see, one invitation can bring two more people, will you go?"
"Go, go, go! Of course I want to go!" Uesugi said hurriedly.
……
On the black Maserati, Lu Mingfei and Eri Yi sat in the back seat, looking at Uesugi Yue in front of the co-pilot, Lu Mingfei fell into deep thought.
Yesterday at Genji Heavy Industries, it was naturally not only Caesar and Chu Zihang who acted together, but Xia Mi, who was hiding in the darkest place, also brought her unexpected information.
When talking about Eriyi's life experience, Lu Mingfei asked Xia Mi: "How did the recording get here?"
"The latter words are of little value, this guy named Tachibana Masamune
I've started to deceive people." Natsumi said.
"How?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"Tachibana Masamune's previous words may be half-truthful, but the rest can only be said to be a lie." Natsumi said, "For example, Eri Uesugi can't be his child."
"How can you be so sure?" Lu Mingfei was puzzled.
"Of course I'm sure, Eri has the aura of a god on her." Natsumi said, "But the aura of the 'god' on Tachibana Masamune is disguised, and he is a complete liar."
