"We call this neighborhood Samurai Town, and the reason why it is called so is that when the Washi district was first built, many defeated Washi people wandered to the ruins of the wasteland between the big cities, threw themselves into the green forest, became rogue samurai, and plundered everywhere. It was originally a bazaar that they used to sell their stolen goods. ”

"Later, these rogue samurai were wiped out by the empire, but this market did not disappear, but gradually became fixed, and slowly formed the current samurai town."

This flat-headed young man who stabbed Emperor Zhongxing in the body of the empire is named Ke Yi.

Not long ago, he was still pointing a gun at Li Jun, and now he is also following Li Jun's side. The two of them weave their way through the maze of streets of Samurai Town.

"Don't look at this place in tatters, but it is also famous among the ten great cities in the entire Japanese area. Matsumoto Castle is as prosperous as it is today, and it is inseparable from Samurai Town. ”

After confirming Li Jun's identity, Ke Yi chattered all the way as if he had opened the chatterbox.

There aren't many shops in the depths of Samuraicho, and it's mostly low, messy houses.

Many sturdy men with carved dragons and phoenixes, and even faces covered with tattoos, stood in groups under the eaves and on the side of the road, with mountains of empty wine bottles at their feet, holding the e-cigarette used to smoke A Furong at the corner of their mouths, and looking at Li Jun with a grim look.

Ugh.

Li Jun lit a paper cigarette, which could be called a luxury in such a place, and shook out a domineering gaze in his eyes, looking back at the past.

"."

A hot-tempered gang member jumped up, but was grabbed by his companion next to him, pointed at Ke Yi, who was following Li Jun, and sneered: "Don't disturb other people's business." ”

These people spoke loudly, accompanied by bursts of sneers, and their playful expressions were like seeing a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered.

Along the way, there are quite a few similar episodes.

As the two of them got deeper, a large amount of spray-painted graffiti appeared on the walls of the left and right aisles.

Although Li Jun couldn't read the Japanese language, and the Jinyi Guard equipment he carried on his body did not have the function of translation, it did not prevent him from recognizing a dragon flag of the Ming Empire surrounded by flames on the wall.

"It's all incompetent people, venting their anger."

Ke Yi noticed Li Jun's gaze and pointed to the word "Mingren" with a blood-red fork on the wall.

"After the Empire made it a sin district, a large number of local merchants flocked in like sharks that smelled blood. In the name of helping the Japanese area to rebuild after the war, it hired cheap labor to open factories and operate various gray industries. Many people had just received the relief money from the Yamen of the Propaganda Department in the morning, and in the afternoon they spent it in various dreams. ”

"In this case, doesn't the Xuanwei Division care?"

As soon as Li Jun said this, he shook his head and smiled.

This problem is nonsense at all, if this kind of thing is not supported by the Xuanwei Division, or the Confucian Order behind it, it is impossible to do it.

I am even afraid that there are many gate valve families who have invested in it, earning the money of the imperial court while drinking the blood of the Japanese people.

"These Japanese people believe that the empire has ruined their homeland, and by blocking the permission of the Huangliang Dream Realm, they have cut off the possibility of their breaking the lock and advancing to the order. Even regarded the Wa area as the lowest genetic breeding ground, and treated them as pigs raised, eating meat and drinking blood. ”

"So for a period of time, the rebellion in the Wa district was unprecedentedly high, and both the orderly and ordinary people had a deep grudge against the empire."

Ke Yi snorted coldly, and said with disdain: "These Japanese people just take themselves too seriously, in fact, the Confucian order can't look down on this place at all, and even the gate valves who come here to do business are the kind that can't get along in the empire." ”

Later, with the promulgation of the indoctrination policy of the New Donglin Party, the garrison of the Japanese area and a large number of Ming people were withdrawn, and the Japanese people were rewarded with enough space for survival and development. Like the four most famous companies in the Wa District today, they also rose in this process. ”

As a result, not only did their life not improve, but it got worse and worse, and they turned around and began to blame the Empire for ignoring their lives and deaths. Pounce on his mother, in terms of shamelessness, these widows are more powerful. ”

Li Jun looked at Ke Yi, who was full of righteous indignation, with interest, and asked, "Listen to the meaning of your words, you are also a Ming person?" ”

"Of course, the villain's ancestral home is in Chaozhou Mansion, Guangdong."

Ke Yi raised his head and continued: "Don't look at this place as Samurai Town, almost all the businesses that can make money are controlled by our Ming people, and the Japanese people only have to run errands and work hard."

"Then when did you come here?"

Before Li Jun's words were finished, a rapid buzzing sound suddenly came from Ke Yi's arms, and he bowed to Li Jun to apologize, and then walked quickly to the side.

"Hey, I'm busy now, if I have something to say, if I have a fart, let it go!"

"I'm asking about the second-hand prosthetic eyes, right, I've already asked people outside the city, the goods in their hands are still a part of the short, and they are hurrying to buy them, and they can be delivered in three days at the latest."

Ke Yi crossed his waist with his hands crossed, his back straight, and scolded at the wall in front of him.

"What do you mean by overdue? If you are impatient, I also have goods from regular channels, and the price is not expensive, so it will be doubled, do you want it? ”

"Don't whine if it's too expensive. Now that the yamen in various places are implementing the new policy, the intensity of the crackdown is getting stronger and stronger, and the difficulty coefficient of others digging is getting higher and higher, you also need to understand this! ”

"Alright, don't talk nonsense here. When they get the goods together, I'll contact you. ”

Ke Yi waved his hand fiercely towards the air in front of him, and then turned to Li Jun and said, "I'm sorry, Master Yan, there are some small things that need to be dealt with." ”

Li Jun quipped: "It doesn't matter, after all, you also have to make money to support yourself." The little money we gave is not enough to find a native kiln sister, right? ”

"This can't be confused, it's my honor to be able to do things for you Ye Yan."

Ke Yi smiled all over his face, "You just asked me when I came here, this should have been more than twenty years ago." ”

"More than twenty years?"

Li Jun's footsteps suddenly paused, and he looked at Ke Yi with a surprised expression.

"The villain is actually in his fifties, and this face is all made."

Ke Yi sneered: "Ordinary people like me who are not very good at genes will not be able to be promoted to a higher order in their lifetime, so they can only experience the so-called 'eternal life and eternal youth' in this way." ”

Li Jun nodded and said with a smile: "Go on." ”

"At that time, the cross-sea train of the Japanese area had not yet been completed, and the imperial court did not allow a small character like me with no background to enter the Japanese area without permission. In desperation, I bribed an old soldier who went home to visit his relatives and soaked under the boat he had returned to camp for two days and two nights before he managed to smuggle ashore. If I hadn't been lucky enough to be a pawn, I would have died at the bottom of the sea. ”

Ke Yi turned around and turned into a deep alleyway, and the words in his mouth did not stop.

"When I first arrived at Matsumoto Castle, it was August and September, and the air was so humid that I could pinch out water, and I would get soaked when I moved."

"At that time, there were no neon lights at night, and there were no projections of gods and Buddhas in the sky today. The defeated Japanese people were like wild ghosts, staring at the ruins with green eyes. If you show weakness, they will pounce on you and stab you, and then they will wipe you clean. ”

"Later, I got into the business of recycling and buying and selling prosthetic limbs, which is also a pillar industry in Samurai Town."

While speaking, Ke Yi took out a handful of flakes of different colors and textures from his sleeve and displayed them in front of Li Jun with a courteous face.

"This is alloy, this is plastic, like this is ceramic, I can produce these prosthetics at present, although the grade is not high, but it is better than the price."

Li Jun quipped: "Listening to the communication you just had, I'm afraid these things are not all produced, right?" ”

"It's just that the source of goods is different." Ke Yi's expression was frank, without the slightest twist.

Li Jun nodded, noncommittal to Ke Yi's approach, and asked instead, "Then how did you get in touch with Inuyama City?" The distance between the two big cities is not close. ”

"Speaking of which, the reasons for this are quite complicated."

Ke Yi led Li Jun to turn again, and what appeared in front of him was a dead-headed alley, and at the end was a closed iron gate.

"Then pick the key one."

"The villain and the ghost king of Inuyama Castle are actually fellow villagers."

"You still have such a relationship with the old ghost?"

Li Jun blinked, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly stopped, and looked sideways at Ke Yi: "What I have to do this time is not small, if you are not willing to take risks, I can think of other ways." ”

Ke Yi frowned: "If you say that, then you look down on me." ”

"Don't get me wrong," Li Jun waved his hand: "I'm afraid that the old ghost will trouble me in the future." ”

The flat-headed young man smiled, "Although I, Ke Yi, am not a big man on the stage, but the four words of Zhi'en Tubao are not divided into high and low sequences. If it hadn't been for the Ghost King Da who helped me a lot, I am afraid that I would have been killed by the hidden guns of those widows. ”

Li Jun moved his lips, but finally didn't say anything else, just nodded emphatically.

At this moment, the two of them had already walked to the iron door, and the people guarding the door glanced at Li Jun cautiously, then looked at Ke Yi, and asked, "Boss Ke, you are a rare guest, why are you interested in coming here today?" ”

"I'm looking for you Boss Liang to have a business to discuss."

The gatekeeper hesitated for a moment, but after all, he did not stop him, reached out and held it on the doorknob, and with a slight click of mechanical operation, a sedan ladder behind the door was revealed.

The car ladder goes all the way down, and the speed of settlement is not fast.

"What is the origin of this Boss Liang in your mouth, who knows everything about the affairs in Samurai Town?"

Faced with Li Jun's question, Ke Yi briefly introduced.

"This Liang Diao was originally an imperial commander, who successively conquered Siam, Annam, Goguryeo and other criminal areas, made great achievements, and finally led troops to be stationed in Matsumoto Castle. In the first year of Jiaqi, the court had a case of 'Great Dynasty Debate', and the New Donglin Party successfully implemented the policy of indoctrination in the criminal areas and ordered the withdrawal of all garrisons. ”

Liang Diao knows very well that the royal family has been completely hollowed out by the New Donglin Party and has become a marionette. As long as he returns to the empire, the military power in his hands will definitely be divided up by the Confucian sect lords, and even he himself may only become someone else's domestic slave. ”

"Therefore, Liang Diao simply took a group of henchmen and cronies to become a deserter directly, with a good strength and ruthless heart, but within ten years, he became a tyrant in the samurai town."

Li Jun looked at Ke Yi's back in front of him, and his lips moved silently a few times.

The car ladder soon arrived and stopped. As the ladder door opened, Li Jun's eyebrows couldn't help but raise upward.

In front of me is a very lively underground casino, the overall ceiling is three feet high, the air circulation is unhindered, and there is no feeling of depression.

Five long tables are crowded with guests, the floor is covered with a red carpet, and a maid in a light white skirt carries a drink.

The overall level of luxury is not inferior to that of the large casinos that are opened on the ground.

"I'll be responsible for talking to him in a while, this is Liang Diao's lair, don't be impulsive."

Ke Yi took the lead, walking steadily, without squinting all the way, and went straight to a huge carved wooden screen in the depths of the casino.

Behind the screen is a table of eight immortals, and bone-white mahjong tiles are scattered on the table.

A man with dark skin, thick lips, scarlet scarlet, and a belt around his waist sat at a table, his eyes down, and a mahjong tile in his hand.

It is the beam carving.

"Boss Liang, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come unharmed."

Ke Yi clenched his hands into fists, smiled brightly, and walked up quickly.

"No wonder I always touched this fortune today, it turned out that Boss Ke was here."

Syllable.

Liang Diao covered the mahjong on the table with his backhand, and the blood-red word 'hair' was particularly eye-catching.

"Please take a seat."

"It's definitely not a big driver, but it's no problem to make a small fortune."

Ke Yi pulled out the circle chair opposite Liang Diao, and just sat down, he heard Liang Diao ask: "I don't know where the small wealth that Boss Ke said came from?" ”

"Boss Liang is really fast."

Ke Yi praised the other party, "This matter is as difficult as heaven for others, but for you, Boss Liang, it is to send money to the door." I'm here this time, and I want to ask you about someone with Boss Liang."

"Let's not be in a hurry to talk about things yet,"

Ke Yi's words were interrupted by Liang Diao's raised hand, and he picked his eyes to look at Li Jun who was standing behind Ke Yi.

"This friend is a little untouched, I don't seem to have seen it in Samurai Town before, Boss Ke, don't you introduce me?"

Ke Yi smiled: "This is just one of my new recruits, this time I brought it out to meet the market, there is nothing to introduce." ”

"If you can make Boss Ke cultivate so attentively, it must be a piece of good material and beautiful jade, and it may not be possible for Jackie Chan to become a phoenix in the future."

Liang Diao's tone was tough: "So it's better to introduce it." ”

Ke Yi frowned, and there was anger in his eyes, "Boss Liang, what do you mean by this, I'm here to do business with you, not to let you investigate." ”

"Huh."

Liang Diao sneered, "Since it's business, why haven't I heard a word of truth from your mouth since you sat down?" ”

"You"

Ke Yi's face changed drastically, and he suddenly felt his shoulders sink.

Li Jun shook his head at Ke Yi and motioned for the other party to stand up and sit down by himself.

"Boss Liang, right, we know each other?"

"You don't know me, but I know you."

Li Jun rubbed a mahjong tile with his thumb, and there was no joy in his words. "Oh? Then you know a pretty wide range of people. ”

"There's no way, if you want to eat in the Japanese area, you can't do it if you don't know you."

Liang Diao's eyes were bright and fierce, "You say yes, Lord Yan Jun." ”
