"Excuse me for visiting this place late at night. What do you do for me?"

When he asked this question, Zuoda Lichen's eyes flashed with a faint vigilance.

There is an incompatible relationship between the Huofu Thief Kai, who is responsible for handling all kinds of major criminal cases and vicious criminals, and the Qingshui Clan, who are specialized in running various black industries.

In fact, the Huofu Thieves have physically become one with the Qingshui clan several times.

Qingdeng, who is now the captain of the third division of the Fire Thieves, was not lying comfortably at home in the middle of the night, wandering around the Qingshui clan's territory... he almost had the word "suspicious" written on his face.

"I have something to ask Kitahara Konosuke. Is he at Renya?"

Qingdeng was not polite and explained his purpose straight to the point.

The corners of Zuoda Lichen's eyes twitched slightly, and his suspicious eyes swept over the faces of Qingden, Sanako and Otsuki Minoru one by one.

"Kitahara-sama, he is at Renya tonight... I understand. Since you have something to see Kitahara-sama, please come with me."

Kithara Konosuke is a senior cadre of the "Shimizu Clan". In terms of rank, he is much higher than Sadarichomi.

On one side is a great leader who is much higher than himself, on the other side is the famous Niou... Zodari Chen displays the survival philosophy of a small person: kowtow more and talk less.

He didn't bother to ask Qingteng more, "What are you doing with Mr. Kitahara?" This kind of question was not something someone like him was qualified to ask.

Since Nioh wants to see Kitahara Konosuke, then take him there.

As for whether Kitahara Konosuke will meet him, and what the purpose of Niou's sudden desire to see Kitahara Konosuke is... he has no control over these things!

Zuoda Lichen was so reasonable and reasonable, which saved Qingden a lot of energy.

Qingden Zhengse said:

"Then I'll trouble you."

"You're welcome."

Zuoda Lichen put his hands on his thighs and bowed deeply to Qingden with a flattering smile on his face.

…

…

Zuoda Lichen led several of his men to the front to clear the way, and Qingdeng and his party followed closely behind.

The faces of Zodari Chen and his subordinates... possess a strange magical power.

The reason why they say this is because wherever they passed, the poor people and beggars on the roadside looked horrified and ran away in fear, as if they saw evil ghosts crawling out of the underworld.

After walking along the maze-like winding road for about ten minutes, Qingdeng gradually heard the noise.

I saw a tall house with a simple shape but a large area right in front of me.

The windows revealed a dark yellow warm light.

The noise came from this house.

Zuoda Lichen took two quick steps and whispered something to a few strong men standing outside the door of the house.

These strong men dressed as guards looked up at Qingdeng and others, and then nodded slightly.

"Okay, Nioh-sama, come in with me."

Zuoda Lichen made a "please" gesture to Qingteng, and then took the initiative to help Qingteng open the door of Ren's house.

The moment the door was opened, noise and hot air spurted out.

The room was extremely hot and hot. Before he even entered the room, Qingdeng felt that his body was already sweating.

The air is filled with steam and tobacco smoke.

The smell, which is a mixture of sweat acid and body odor, makes people hold their breath.

"Buy it and leave it! Buy it and leave it!"

"Ahhh! Why? Why?! Why can't I win!"

"I don't believe it's still 'double' this time!"

"No! I want to gamble again! I will definitely win this time!"

…

Guess the size, guess the odd and even numbers, play double six, play mahjong, and many other gambling games that Qingteng can’t name...

The scene inside Ren's house was very consistent with Qingdeng's impression of casinos.

The noise made my ears hurt.

The chaotic scene makes the eyes tired.

The emotions of extreme joy and extreme sadness are repeatedly transformed and staged...

A person who looked ecstatic 10 minutes ago may look devastated 10 minutes later.

A person who looked ashen three minutes ago might be as happy and crying and laughing as Fan Jin was when he passed the exam three minutes later.

All kinds of things in the world... seem to be presented in this space called "casino".

Qingdeng hated gambling that could easily destroy one or even several families. Therefore, after entering Ren's house, Qingdeng's brows did not relax.

The same was true for Sanako. She was obviously not used to the casino environment, and her pretty little face wrinkled up.

"Lord Nioh, now is the best time for Renwu's business, so there are a lot of people, so please follow me closely."

Zuoda Lichen led Qingden and others slowly into the depths of Ren's house...

…

…

Any house, backyard——

Boom!

The arrow, which flew across half of the courtyard like a wild goose, stabbed steadily into the bullseye of the target 10 meters away. The arrow feathers swayed violently due to the reaction force.

Kithara Konosuke put down the Japanese bow in his hand, looked at the "results" he had just achieved, and curled his lips in dissatisfaction.

"Hmm... I'm not in a good state today... Hehe, it's obviously my favorite martial art, but I haven't practiced it for a long time, so I'm really rusty at it."

When he said this, Kitahara Konosuke leaned down and pulled out a new arrow from the quiver at his leg.

At this time, a Yakuza hurriedly entered the courtyard and walked to Kitahara Konosuke's side.

Kitahara Konosuke leaned out towards this subordinate calmly.

Yakuza hesitated for a moment, then stood on tiptoes and put his ear close to Kitahara Konosuke's.

Kithara Konosuke listened indifferently and looked ahead expressionlessly - this posture only lasted 5 seconds.

After 5 seconds, Kitahara Konosuke's face changed color.

"Tachibana Aoden?"

Kithara Konosuke turned his head and stared directly into his subordinates' eyes.

"...I understand, thank you for your hard work, please step back."

Yakuza bowed and saluted, said "yes" in a spirited tone, and left quickly.

"..."

Kithara Konosuke stood there, looking into the distance, his expression gloomy, and there was a solemn look in his eyes as if he was recalling some heavy past event.

"Tachibana Aoden... Tachibana Takayuki's son..."

As if feeling pain in his heart, Kitahara Konosuke raised his hand and grabbed the clothes on his chest, making a tearing sound from the cloth.

"Tachibana Takashi...!"

…

…

Aomori and others were waiting for the arrival of Konosuke Kitahara in a grand room similar to a guest room.

They didn't wait too long in the room.

Ten minutes later, footsteps were heard from the corridor outside the door.

Qingdeng and others reflexively glanced towards the door.

Wow.

Almost at the same time, the paper sliding door with beautiful pictures on it was opened.

The person who opened the door was none other than Konosuke Kitahara.

"Lord Nioh!"

Konosuke Kitahara walked quickly towards Aoto and greeted Aonobo politely.

Even the most powerful person in this country, the former "Mother of the Nation" and now the "Queen Mother", namely Tokugawa Iemo and Tenzouin Atsuhime, had met Aoto, so he could be considered to have met countless people.

Qingto could tell at a glance that Kitahara Konosuke's words and deeds had a slow and leisurely demeanor.

That is, in the world in which he lives, he holds the power of life and death for countless people.
