When Mitsubishi Parojie drove into the territory of Chiba Prefecture, night had fallen, and the Nine Ghosts Masao said to Huo Dongjun:

"Mr. Huo, we are now heading to Changsheng County, Chiba Prefecture, there are about forty minutes to go, and the journey is a little tired, please forgive me. ”

Huo Dongjun didn't feel tired, but at night, Chiba County was full of vegetable fields, and few lights appeared.

"Mr. Nine Ghosts, how long have you been in Taiwan?" Retracting his gaze, Huo Dongjun asked the Nine Ghosts.

The Nine Ghosts Masao always sat upright in his seat, and when he heard Huo Dongjun's words, he said to Huo Dongjun head-on:

"I lived in Kaohsiung, Taiwan for two years and just returned to China before the New Year. ”

"Did you return to China because of President Chiba's car accident?" Huo Dongjun remembered that when he met Chiba Naoto, the seventh generation of the little Chiba family had said that he had been in a car accident not long ago.

The Nine Ghosts Masao was a little surprised, but immediately lowered his head again and said, "Yes, it turns out that Lord Chiba has already talked to Mr. Huo about this? That's right, it was because of Lord Chiba's injury that I rushed back from Kaohsiung." ”

"President Chiba didn't say it, I just learned that President Chiba was in a car accident not long ago, so I guessed on my own. Huo Dongjun said to the nine ghosts.

The Nine Ghosts Zhengnan's face was a little ugly, so that he didn't have a seizure, but said to Huo Dongjun: "Mr. Huo's guess is very accurate. ”

After a forty-minute drive, we finally arrived at Chosei Prefecture in Chiba Prefecture, Chiba Prefecture is the easternmost peninsula of Honshu, surrounded by the sea on three sides, and Chosei County is on the seashore of Chiba Prefecture.

At night, Changsheng County is very calm, there is no bustle of the lights of Tokyo or Hong Kong, only the silence under the full moon, there are not even cars driving on the streets, only a few pedestrians walking by in a hurry or in high spirits.

Parojie made a few turns and finally stopped at a small izakaya, outside which was a cloth sign with the word "Kaito" written on it, and two small lanterns hung on either side of the izakaya's door, glowing a faint red light.

"Mr. Huo, we have arrived, please get off the bus. After the nine ghosts said a word to Huo Dongjun, he got out of the car first, and then ran to Huo Dongjun's side to help him open the car door.

Huo Dongjun was a little dumbfounded, this little Chiba family is a little too unreliable, after taking a car for more than two hours to the beach, it was actually just a small izakaya to entertain him?

However, Huo Dongjun did not show any expression on his face, nodded slightly at the Nine Ghosts and said thank you, and then walked into the izakaya under the guidance of the Nine Ghosts.

Picking open the iconic door curtain of the izakaya, there is only a space of fifty square meters, two long tables are arranged on the left and right sides, several men in casual clothes are sitting at the long table, and seeing the nine ghosts and men accompanying Huo Dongjun in, a bald man with a fat body stood up with a smile on his face:

"Nine ghosts! You guy! It's the first time I've seen you since I returned to China, and we're going to drink together for a while!

The face of the Nine Ghost Masao was also a little soft, and he said to the bald man:

"This is a guest of adults. ”

The bald head immediately bowed to Huo Dongjun: "Hello, please advise!"

Huo Dongjun smiled at the bald head, and the nine ghosts asked the bald head, "Senior Serizawa, are you there?"

The bald face no longer had the presumptuous smile on the nine ghosts just now, and said in a proper manner: "Of course, the adults came here in the afternoon and are preparing dinner for the guests in the kitchen." ”

The Nine Ghosts led Huo Dongjun to a seat and said, "Mr. Huo, please wait a moment, I'll go and inform the adults." ”

After saying that, he walked to the small door at the back, which looked like it should be the kitchen.

The bald head, who was called Serizawa's senior by the nine ghosts, casually pointed to the two men who were chatting at the long table and said, "Your lord's guests have arrived, go outside to be on duty, don't let others rush in and spoil the interest of adults and guests." ”

"Hay!" Two middle-aged men in flowered shirts stood up, bowed to Serizawa in agreement, and walked out of the izakaya.

At this time, the curtain of the small door of the izakaya was also opened, and Naoto Chiba, who was wearing a linen white robe in the morning, was wearing the clothes of an ordinary izakaya owner at this time, and limped out, holding two delicate plates in his hands, and the Nine Demons Masao followed behind him.

Huo Dongjun stood up and greeted Naoto Chiba: "Mr. Chiba." ”

"Please sit, please sit, I rushed here at four o'clock in the afternoon to prepare dinner, but I didn't expect to make Mr. Huo wait for a long time. Chiba Naoto put the two plates on the long table in front of Huo Dongjun, and then sat next to Huo Dongjun casually and said.

The Nine Ghosts Masao translated Naoto Chiba's words, and Huo Dongjun smiled.

The two plates on the table are boat-shaped, and two thin plates of fish are neatly stacked in brightly colored lemons, shiso leaves, and orchids in the shape of a canopy, which are matched with the boat-shaped plates, like two small fishing boats, and next to them are prepared wasabi puree, soy sauce, radish puree, and fried sake.

"Serizawa! go tell Hanagi to make some skewers and burn them, and by the way, burn my treasured Tosa cranes. Naoto Chiba instructed the bald Serizawa.

After Serizawa saluted, he immediately ran to the small door, and Chiba Naoto said to Huo Dongjun:

"This izakaya is my family's ancestral property, I'm ashamed, my cooking skills are too far from my grandfather, so I rarely come here during the year, and other people are taking care of them, but my skills in making puffer fish are not bad, especially puffer fish sashimi, Mr. Huo, please try it, China's Su Dongpo once said 'it is also worth dying' after eating puffer fish, and later it was jokingly called the desperate eating puffer fish, the meat of puffer fish can be seen to be quite delicious, I think Hong Kong, there should be few chefs who will make puffer fish sheng. ”

Huo Dongjun waited for the nine ghosts to finish speaking, picked up the chopsticks with the same expression, picked up a piece of puffer fish meat, smeared soy sauce on one side, dipped in wasabi puree on the other, and then put it in his mouth, and felt the freshness and spicinessiness of the fish, soy sauce and wasabi puree mixed together with his tongue for a while, and then swallowed and sighed, gave Chiba Naoto a thumbs up, and said in Japanese:

"Ichiban!"

Chiba Naoto laughed, his face full of a sense of accomplishment: "I didn't expect Mr. Huo to understand Japanese." ”

Huo Dongjun waited for the Nine Ghosts to translate before saying, "I only know a few words, if Mr. Chiba wants more Japanese appreciation, I'm afraid I can't do anything." ”

Waiting for Serizawa to bring a few skewers and a bottle of Tosa Tsuru yaki, Chiba Naoto helped Huo Dongjun pour wine, and the two began to chat, from the social situation in Hong Kong to the rise of the Japanese industry, the topic is whimsical, Huo Dongjun is always not in a hurry or impatient, since Chiba Naoto likes to go around in circles, then let him be.

Finally, after a bottle of Tosa Tsuruyaki was emptied, Chiba Naocai turned to the topic: "Mr. Huo, I got the news about you, you are the youngest community leader in a certain area of Hong Kong, and I also know something about your deeds, I took the liberty of inviting you to drink today, because I want to ask you for something." ”

Huo Dongjun put down the wine glass, gently wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue, looked at Naoto Chiba and said, "I don't know if Mr. Chiba needs my help?"

Serizawa over there sent two pipes, which were already filled with tobacco, and Chiba Naoto picked one up and handed it to Huo Dongjun: "Please taste it, this is the tobacco I grew myself." ”

Serizawa next to him helped Huo Dongjun light it, Huo Dongjun took a puff, and Naoto Chiba held a pipe in his hand and told Huo Dongjun about the little Chiba family during this time.

Although this Chiba Naoto is also the leader of a community, the small Chiba family has less than four hundred members in the whole of Japan, and even the Yamaguchi-gumi, Sumiyoshi, and Inagawa societies are more violent than the members of the small Chiba family, and with the expansion of the power of several major associations, more and more small societies have been annexed and become branches of those large associations, and the roots of the small Chiba family are in Chiba Prefecture, but in Harajuku and Ikebukuro in Tokyo, there are industries in operation, with an annual income of two to 300 million yen, which is naturally fattened in the eyes of other large associations, and the leaders of several major associations have contacted Chiba Naoto and proposed a merger, but they were all rejected by Chiba Naoto, but the two sides did not tear their faces, but on New Year's Eve, Chiba Naoto suddenly suffered a car accident, if it wasn't for the driver turning the steering wheel and crashing into the oncoming car with his position, then Chiba Naoto would have been hit and killed on the spot, and the result was that the driver died instead of Chiba Naoto, and Chiba Naoto just had a serious bone crack in his leg, and there was no big problem.

After the car accident, the Chiba family began to investigate the truth of the car accident, but the driver who drove the truck into Naoto Chiba disappeared, and it was confirmed that the driver was the Japanese association "Far Eastern Society" A cadre, named Sakazaki Joji, but the members of the Kochiba family searched all the spheres of influence of the Far Eastern Society, but failed to find the whereabouts of the driver, after Chiba Naoto spent money to privately buy off a reprimanded Far Eastern Society cadre, finally learned the news, Sakazaki Castle Boss fled to Hong Kong, hid in the Kowloon Walled City, and became the head of the Far Eastern Society's drug business in Hong Kong.

The Kowloon Walled City has no power of its own in Hong Kong, especially the Kowloon Walled City can be said to be a paradise for murderers in Southeast Asia, all the killers or fugitives who are involved in the murder are willing to flee to the Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong for refuge, there, as long as there is enough money, even if the Walled City only has five dilapidated streets, people can get emperor-like treatment, and the Hong Kong police will never enter the Kowloon Walled City to arrest criminals, even the local police can't enter, and the people of the Little Chiba family are even more powerless.

Therefore, when Huo Dongjun called and said that he wanted to talk about business with Dongquan Hedian, Chiba Naoto was a little surprised, after all, it was an extraordinary period, so he had to be cautious, so he spent a lot of money and even gave up some territory in Harajuku to entrust the Yamaguchi Group in Hong Kong, and helped find out Huo Dongjun's origin, when he learned about Huo Dongjun's community background, Chiba Naoto decisively decided to see Huo Dongjun, and wanted to hear Huo Dongjun confirm his identity in person, and after confirming his identity, he invited Huo Dongjun to his own territory at night, which explained everything.

"Mr. Huo, I know it's presumptuous, but the little Chiba family has no longer the glory of the Taisho period, the strength is very weak, and they don't have enough ability to go to Hong Kong to find Sakazaki Castle, so, I want to ask you, use your power in Hong Kong to help me find Sakazaki Castle, the little Chiba family must find this person, find out everything, and wash away this bitter shame. As a token of appreciation, I am willing to sell some of the shares of Dongquan Hedian to you free of charge. After Chiba Naoto finished speaking to Huo Dongjun with a serious expression, he bowed deeply.

Behind him, the Nine Ghosts, Serizawa, and even several other men in the izakaya knelt on the ground and saluted Huo Dongjun.
