According to the rumors that Fatty heard - Shenye was able to become the leader of the Yi group at such a young age, not only because he was a veteran of the Yi group, but also another important reason, that is, his swordsmanship is very powerful.

It was so strong that many martial arts masters in the Exorcist group accepted his guidance with compassion.

In addition to clarifying the organization he belongs to, Fatty also revealed two important information.

1: He admitted that the assassination operation that intended to kill the Angoulem family was the one they did.

2: He confessed that the organization that regarded Qingdeng as a traitor and sent people to assassinate Qingdeng repeatedly, and it was also their group to fight against the ranks.

The fat man explained why they wanted to kill Anthony and Elorti - for no special reason, they just wanted to kill foreigners.

Which country is this foreigner from, what identity, age, and gender are all irrelevant.

Anyway, all foreigners who set foot on Japan should be killed.

The Angoulem family was just a simple unlucky - the Yi group learned through some channel that a French businessman who was easy to bully would come to Edo from Osaka to Tokaido in the near future.

Their anti-Yi Group has always been focusing on killing "traitors" and this is the first time they assassinate the barbarians.

In order to ensure that this "master battle" against the barbarians can achieve the most perfect victory, Shenye sent so many people to participate in this operation.

As for which channel the Yi group learned from, the Angoulem family would come to Edo by Tokaido in the near future... the fat man didn't know.

Fatty is just a member of the Yi group, so he knows nothing about the number of people in the Yi group, the location of the base, and other important information.

The above is all he knows.

Although he failed to learn important information from the fat man, the information he confessed also dispelled a lot of fog in Qingdeng and others' minds.

The pursuanto finally knew what organization had the ability and courage to assemble more than 200 warriors to attack and kill foreign merchants.

And Qingdeng finally knew what organization wanted to take his head and get it quickly because of the ridiculous reason that he had "worked in the American Embassy".

We should integrate all the information from the Wei group confessed by the Fatty at the first time, and then report it to the shogunate.

The shogunate also quickly sent a reply to the Endor: Uproot this surprisingly large-scale radical anti-barbarian forces as soon as possible!

After receiving this harsh order from the shogunate, the South and North followed the action immediately started.

Hokui and Okigawa (persed by Minamibanoso) summoned the famous masters of the Ching year-end, and asked them to go to the towns where they were responsible for promoting the existence and harm of the Ching Group, and encouraged the Ching people to provide information related to the Ching Group. All Ching people who can provide useful information will be highly rewarded.

For a moment, the "Discovery Group" became the hot topic vocabulary of Edo.

As long as you go to a crowded place, you can always hear someone discussing this radical anti-barrier organization that has been listed as the "great enemy that must be eliminated" by Edo.

The Institute has slightly adjusted the resource allocation and focus of work - a considerable number of resources and manpower are uniformed to investigate and track the Yi Group.

April is the time for cherry blossoms to bloom.

As early as March 25, cherry blossom trees planted in various parts of Edo began to bloom one after another.

By March 27, the flying cherry blossom petals have become a beautiful scenery in Edo.

Of course, the officials who pursued the "three chapters" obviously do not have the time and spare time to enjoy the first blooming cherry blossoms.

However, Qingdeng is an exception.

Because on March 27, Qingdeng was finally scheduled for a long-lost holiday.

The current huge workload and work pressure make Qingdeng almost unable to remember when the last holiday was.

But even after holidays, Qingdeng still doesn’t have the time to watch cherry blossoms.

It has been a while since I asked Okita to entrust Boss Kiryu to help find a few reliable people who are willing to be the ones who are from Hikaru.

Qingdeng plans to take advantage of the rare holiday today to visit Qianshi House to see how the commission delivered to Boss Kiryu is currently progressing.

...

...

First year of Wanyan (1860), March 27th

Edo, on a certain street—

"The weather is finally getting warmer..." Qingdeng picked off a cherry blossom that fell on his head, then raised his right hand and looked at the golden sun through the fingers of his right palm.

From the day before yesterday, when the cherry blossoms in Edo began to bloom, Edo, which had been disturbed by the cold wave, finally began to warm up.

Now when you go out, you no longer have to wear thick clothes, snow-proof hats and scarves. Just a thin set of feather knitting can ensure that your body will not be affected by cold.

The sun is shining, the temperature is neither cold nor hot - this is Qingdeng's favorite weather.

Feeling the warm spring breeze blowing through my cheeks, Qing Deng was in a good mood, and the corners of her mouth were unconsciously raised slightly.

It is around 8 o'clock in the morning, and Aoden led Saito to make great strides towards Chishiya.

As soon as he reached the gate of Qianshi House, Qingdeng heard the sound of a plan coming from inside.

Aodo originally thought it was Boss Kiryu who was planning to plan, but after opening the shop door, he found that the person who knocked the abacus was crackling and turned out to be Mai Kishita.

Kneeling at the back of the counter, Damiya Kishi, fiddling the abacus with skillful techniques in her left hand, and holding a brush in her right hand writing something on a big book.

After hearing the sound of the shop door being pulled open, she quickly stopped writing, raised her head, and saw that the visitor was Qingdeng, and a bright smile immediately flew up to the cheeks of the dancing tree.

The changes in the seasons have made Kinoshita's current outfit cooler.

At this time, Kishima Mai was wearing only a thin red kimono with no socks on her feet. Her wide sleeves were tied tightly with cuffs, revealing a pair of small jade feet and two lotus arms that looked like white porcelain.

"Juji!"

Wu Kishita put down the brush and abacus in her hand, and her white and tender feet stepped on the spotless wooden floor, and rushed out from behind the counter, facing Qingdeng.

"Miss Kinoshita, good morning." Aoden smiled and said hello to Kinoshita.

"Good morning, too." Kinoshita Mai folded her arms in front of her and bowed slightly to Aoden.

After a while of greeting with Kishita Mai, Aoto opened the right path and asked where Boss Kiryu was.

"Mr. Kiryu is making breakfast in the kitchen now." Kinisha Mai replied, "You wait here for a moment, I'll call him now..."

Mizuki Kishita no longer needs to call Kiryu.

Because before he could finish his words, Kiryu's old and elegant voice came from the inner room.

"Young Master, I seem to hear Ju Jun's voice. Is Ju Jun coming?"

Holding a pot and spoon in his right hand and an apron on his chest, Kiryu slowly stepped out of the inner room of Chishiwu.

The apron that Kiryu is wearing is a bit cute - the center of the apron is embroidered with an orange cat's head.

"Boss Kiryu, good morning." Aoden bowed to Kiryu, who appeared from the inner room, and said, "I'm here to ask how the commission delivered to you a few days ago is currently progressing."

"Hahaha, Kiriki, we have been waiting for you for a long time." Kiryu smiled and pointed at the cushions laid in front of the counter, "You can sit first."

"If it's convenient, can you wait for me for a while? I still have to make breakfast now, and it will be fine soon."

"It's okay." Qingdeng waved his hand, "You go and do it first. Anyway, I'm on holiday today, so don't worry."

Kiryu returned to the inner room with the pot and spoon.

He didn't tell any lies. In just a moment, he came out of the inner room again, no longer wearing an apron or a pot and spoon.

After asking Kinoshita Mai to go and eat breakfast while it was hot, he bent his knees and sat behind the counter.

"Jujun, about your commission... I have already found three very good candidates for you."

Kiryu took out a large book with a green cover from below the counter.

"That's... these three people."

Kiryu turned the book to the last page with words and pointed at the names of the three people written on the page.

"Nakura Shinhara, Harada Zuosuke and Fujido Heisuke."
