In the "Edo Dandy Circle", which has a very bad reputation, Hayakawa Danshiro belongs to the group of people with a very bad reputation.

Just when Suzune and Yoshikuro didn't know what to do, Hayakawa Danshiro suddenly put on a friendly expression.

"Lingyin, don't worry, I really just want to get closer to you and hear your sweet voice more clearly. I will never do anything excessive to you."

After saying that, he patted his chest matter-of-factly.

Huh! I'm afraid you've said this kind of nonsense to at least 10 women! Suzune cursed. She didn't believe a word of these sweet words from Hayakawa Danshichiro.

When she really sits next to him, he will definitely rub her legs without leaving a trace, hold her shoulders, then touch her feet, kiss her face... just like this, step by step, he will molest her step by step.

If he really did nothing and just wanted to get close to her and chat with her, it would have a very bad impact on her reputation.

She is a serious musician who only sells her skills but not her body, and specializes in serving the upper class of society.

It can be said that "innocence" is her biggest drawcard.

If she had a dark history of "having sat down with a guest", how could she get along in the future?

Seeing that Suzune was still hesitating and standing still, the smile on Danshiro Hayakawa's face dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Instead, there was an increasingly intense look of impatience.

"Tsk! You woman are so troublesome! Don't you have ears? Didn't you hear me calling you over? Do you have to wait until I get angry before you can understand people's words?"

Danshiro Hayakawa took off his hypocritical mask and slapped the tatami next to him vigorously again.

The huge sound...or the threat hidden in his words made both Suzune and Kikokuro tremble.

Although Yoshikawa Ryotei is a restaurant that stands above thousands of restaurants in Edo, in terms of appearance, it can only be ranked at the bottom among many restaurants in Edo, and it can never afford to offend Hayakawaya, who has a large business.

"That... ring tone...?"

At this time, Yoshikuro slowly turned his head to the side, with a slumped face, and cast a meaningful look at Suzune.

Such eyes, such expression... His meaning is very obvious...

Even Mr. Yoshikuro, the only person he could rely on now, surrendered... Suzune bit her lower lip, her pretty face full of grievance and dissatisfaction.

The delicate figure of the shamisen, which was subconsciously hugged tightly because of deep uneasiness, was like a willow catkin swaying in the strong wind, helpless.

Suddenly, at this moment, she seemed to have remembered something, and she was startled.

Then, she took a deep breath and summoned up the courage to speak loudly:

"Hayakawaya-sama! I have some friendship with Tachibana-sama! Can you give Tachibana-sama some thin noodles?"

Hayakawa Danshiro was stunned.

"tachibana? Which tachibana?"

In Japanese, tachibana can be written as "Tachibana", "Tachibana", or... the surname of the adult who has been stirring up trouble since 2 years ago.

At this point, Suzune had no room for regret, so she could only continue speaking:

"That Tachibana-sama who serves as a sidekick and is also the servant of the imperial government!"

Hayakawa Danshiro was stunned again, then slowly murmured as if chewing every word:

"Oh...that's the 'Nioh'..."

If we want to say who is the most famous celebrity in Edo in recent years, it is undoubtedly "Nioh" Tachibana Aoden!

Since Aoto's attack on Shimizu Residence, the reputation of "Nioh" has spread from being only in the Kanto region, Kyoto, Osaka and other popular places to spreading to all over the country!

From Matsumae in the north to Satsuma in the south, "Tachibana Aoden" has become a name that everyone knows.

Especially after the Edo shogunate gave him a rare and generous reward, his legend became even more intense.

The family's salary increased by 4,000 ge, and he was upgraded several levels in a row. He was transferred from the original fire thief to the captain to a side member and an employee of the imperial court... How many years has it been since the shogunate produced such a dazzling new political star?

There are two main types of ministers of the general who conquered the barbarians, one is called "side servants", and the other is the "side ministers" who Qingdeng currently serves.

The former is responsible for passing the general's orders to the old and middle-aged men, and their treatment is the same as that of the old and middle-aged men. They are usually selected from those with a family income of more than 10,000 dan.

In 1684, the first year of the reign of Emperor Zhenxian (1684), after the assassination of Masatoshi Hota, who served as the eldest brother, the power of side servants increased accordingly.

Yanagisawa Yoshiho (the servant of the fifth shogun Tsunayoshi), Mabe Kanfusa (the servant of the sixth shogun Ienobu, the successor of the seventh shogun), Tanuma Itsuji (the servant of the tenth shogun Ieharu), Mizuno Tadanari

(The side servants of the eleventh generation general Jiaqi) are all very famous side servants.

The maximum number of side members is 5-8 people, and their status is lower than that of side employees. Although they can also participate in politics, the political figures they can come into contact with and the political events they can interfere with are definitely not as good as those of side employees.

Qingdeng's family's income was less than ten thousand shi, so the position of side servant was naturally out of reach for him.

However, precisely because the specific functions of side members were not so clear, Tokugawa Iemo was given considerable room for maneuver.

With the full support of Tokugawa Iemo, Aoshinobu's true status... In a nutshell: he is called a side official, but he is actually a side employer!

Tokugawa Iemo has not yet set up his own staff, so he almost uses Aoshinobu as his staff to punish and train.

Political affairs that were not very important...especially those involving military affairs, were mostly handled by Aishobu by Tokugawa Iemo.

When a summit meeting was held with the participation of only the shogun, Lao Chu, and Wakatoshi, Aoto also had the right to sit next to Tokugawa Iemo.

To give an example that may not be particularly accurate, but is generally the same image - if the senior middlemen headed by Nobuyoshi Matsudaira are prime ministers, then Qingteng is now the Minister of Military Aircraft Department! He has great power!

What's more, he is also the servant of Yutai who oversees Daou affairs.

Don't underestimate Daao's energy.

No matter what era, country, or concubine, the political energy cannot be ignored.

Let’s not mention the complicated political operations, but just talk about the most simple and easy-to-understand pillow talk-a pillow talk from a certain concubine may be able to affect national affairs and even shake the foundation of the country.

Since Da Qingdeng took office as the official of Yutai, the Tianzhang Academy has expressed its greatest support for his appointment.

She personally took the lead in cooperating with all Qingdeng's work, and the officials under her, such as Yu Nian Ji, Yu Zhong Nang, Yu Ke Hui Shi, etc., had to obey her.

Except for the recent arrival of women from Kyoto, headed by Wakomiya, who don't show much respect for Aoto, the Daou women from the Tianzhangin family are all obedient to Aoto - this naturally further strengthens Aoto's

Power.

Even a blind person can see that Tokugawa Iemo and Tenzouin intend to focus on cultivating Aoshinobu.

Ju Qingden is very favored - this political signal has invisibly raised his political status.

To put it bluntly...Aoto now is totally capable of walking sideways in Edo!

Even if he is an old, middle-aged or powerful feudal lord, when he meets Qingdeng, he must greet him politely and show off his skills.

This is true even for these boss-level figures, let alone Zha Zai, who has no other redeeming qualities besides being rich.

Zhacha could only bully the powerless common people and middle- and lower-level samurai.

Facing senior samurai with lofty political status...especially senior samurai of Qingto's level, they would never try to defeat them.

Looking at Suzune who threatened that he had a friendship with Tachibana Aoden, Hayakawa Danshiro blinked, then laughed and said:

"You have a relationship with Ju Qingden? Then you should invite Ju Qingden over quickly!"

As he said that, Hayakawa Danshiro showed an expression of disdain.

"Huh, Suzune, I'm going to let you go this time. This is a rare opportunity, so let me give you a piece of advice: in a place like Edo, don't just give the names of important people casually, or you'll only be asking for trouble."

His ridicule towards Ling Yin was beyond words.

What is Tachibana Aoden’s identity?

What is your identity as ring tone?

The former is a powerful official.

You are just a musician, how can you have a relationship with the other person?

Stop teasing me!

Hayakawa Danshiro believed that Suzune was bragging to protect herself, and he laughed unconsciously.

Just when his patience was exhausted, he stood up leisurely and was about to walk over and take Suzune into his arms with his own hands——

Bang!

The door that was originally closed was suddenly opened.

A young samurai who looked to be around 20 years old strode into the room.

I saw this young man wearing a black lacquer hat with gold foil inside, which symbolizes senior ministers, and a dark red silk pattern suit (kimono with a family crest) on his upper body. The family crest is the gentian leaf of the Genji family, and he also wears a

She wears a haori hakama (a dress with a short haori and hakama), and wears three swords on her left waist - one is an ordinary wakizashi, the other is a sword with a black and red handle and a sheath, and the last one is a

It's an ancient sword with a black purple handle and sheath.

After entering the room, the young man was in no hurry to speak.

Instead, he put his left hand on his hips, holding the three knives close to his waist. He tilted his head and glanced around the room with calm eyes. His eyes were on Danshiro Hayakawa, Suzune, and Yoshikuro who looked shocked.

He crossed his face one by one, and finally said softly in a nonchalant tone:

"I seem to hear someone calling my name. Who is it? Who is calling my name Tachibana Aoden?"
