Trend!【4500】

Neng Shiliangbi was stunned on the spot, his hands holding the wine glass froze in mid-air, as if they were petrified.

Immediately afterwards, fine cold sweat seeped out from his forehead, and the candlelight passed by, sparkling.

"You are powerful, there is no need to be nervous."

A smile appeared on Qingdeng's lips.

"I am not an indiscriminate and reckless person."

"What happened the day before yesterday has nothing to do with you, and it has nothing to do with everyone here."

Speaking of this, he intentionally glanced at Inaba Masakuni not far away. The other person felt his sight and nodded in fear.

"Nengshijun, I don't want to challenge you."

"I want to discuss with you how to deal with Takahashi Kinzaburo."

Nengshi Liangbi swallowed hard and asked cautiously:

"Takahashi...Kinsaburo...?"

Qingdeng nodded lightly:

"That's right, it's Takahashi Kinzaburo!"

The day before yesterday, the Shinsengumi and Aizu troops jointly dispatched troops to surround the Kyoto Administrative Office. Takahashi Kinzaburo, Yamazaki Heijiro and their younger brothers were taken into custody.

The latter had already gone to Huangquan with Ayase Taichi yesterday afternoon.

As for the former, he is still imprisoned in the dungeon where the Shinsengumi is stationed.

"As the Ginmi Fang Yuli of the Kyoto Administrative Office, Takahashi Kinsaburo should have done his best to fulfill his duties and be honest and honest. However, he has degenerated into a corrupt official who is greedy for money and watches and steals. It is really a heinous crime!"

"His sins are as heavy as the sea!"

"There is really no shortage of personal and material evidence that can be used to accuse Takahashi Kinzaburo of corruption, bribery, and plunder."

"I already have a large amount of evidence in my hands that is enough to sentence him to death ten times - and I have personally experienced his cruelty and greed - such a treacherous villain will not be enough to anger the people if he is not killed!"

"I plan to push him to Sanjo River and behead him tomorrow."

"However... no matter what, Takahashi Kinzaburo is your subordinate."

"If I don't even say hello to you and just kill the person, it won't be justified after all..."

Before Qingdeng finished speaking, Nengshi Liangbi immediately seemed to realize something. He straightened his face and said righteously:

"Kinzaburo Takahashi knows the law and breaks the law, and commits crimes and crimes. It is a shame to the Kyoto Order! It is a shame to the samurai! The crime cannot be punished!"

"Even if you don't kill him, I will kill him!"

"Therefore, Tachibana-sama, you don't have to worry! Please behead Takahashi Kinzaburo to the execution ground!"

Looking at Noshi Ryobi, who put on a solemn posture of "I and Takahashi Kinzaburo are irreconcilable," Aoden grinned:

"That being the case, I feel relieved."

Having said that, Qingdeng raised the wine glass on the dining table and reached out to Nengshi Liangbi.

Seeing this, the other party hurriedly leaned forward and handed over the cup in his palm.

When clinking glasses, he strictly controlled the force and angle, never letting the rim of his glass exceed Qingdeng's.

Just after the two glasses collided, there was a "ding" sound——

"...Nengshijun."

Qingden suddenly spoke again.

Nengshi Liangbi felt as if he was stressed, and his body trembled violently.

"Here, there!"

Qingden slowly took back the wine glass in his hand, and with a sharp arrow-like gaze, he stabbed Nengshi Liangbi straight.

Although he was smiling, the corners of his mouth were curved obviously, and his smile was gentle, but Nengshi Liangbi did not feel any warmth at all.

"I am the governor of the capital, and I am responsible for the important task of guarding the capital and safeguarding the country and the people."

"As I said on the execution ground yesterday - I will definitely and will eventually eliminate all villains and rebels who disrupt Gyeonggi."

"No matter if he is a high-ranking official with a golden pei and a purple coat."

Qingto's eyes swept to the Kyoto dignitaries on his left.

"Still one of my own subordinates."

He moved his gaze to the right, looking towards the Shinsengumi generals on his right.

"So... Mr. Nengshi, please control your subordinates more in the future, but don't make it difficult for me again."

Qingdeng's tone was very calm, as if he was chatting with his old friend.

However, Nengshi Liangbi was sweating profusely after listening to it.

At this moment, he felt two invisible large rocks pressing on his shoulders.

"Yes, yes! This is natural! This is natural!"

He struggled to put on a flattering smile and nodded like garlic.

"The same goes for everyone here."

Qingdeng stood up quickly, holding the wine glass, and looked around the audience.

"I've arrived in Kyoto for the first time, and there are a lot of things waiting to be done. There are as many arduous tasks as a mountain waiting for me to deal with them one by one."

"Now and in the future, I will be so busy that I would like to borrow the cat's paws."

[Note: So busy that I even want to borrow the cat’s paws: a traditional Japanese proverb, the meaning is exactly as it literally means]

"Therefore, after I kill Takahashi Kinzaburo, I will not bother with the past accounts of the others!"

"I'm not interested in knowing about your past."

"I only focus on your present and future!"

"If we want to restore this thousand-year-old city and the vast land of Gyeonggi to its former peace, we cannot do without your support!"

"From tomorrow... no! From this moment on, please cooperate with me!"

"This glass of wine is for everyone!"

After saying that, Qingdeng raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp. Then he turned the glass over so that the mouth of the glass was facing down to show that he had drank a full glass.

Blah blah blah...

In the blink of an eye, the Kyoto nobles present sat up straight, picked up their wine glasses, and responded to Qingden, vying to show their loyalty:

"This is natural!"

"Lord Tachibana, you are serious!"

"Tachibana-sama, please rest assured! Even if you don't say it, I, Takano Seihide, will definitely support the Shinsengumi!"

…

Looking around, these noble people were all beaming with joy, and all of them had happy expressions of relief.

Qingdeng's meaning has been made quite obvious - I won't bother with the nasty things you did in the past! However, if you don't restrain yourself in the future and refuse to give me the face of Qingdeng, then I won't

I'll forgive you!

It can be said that Qingdeng gave them the steps.

Ever since Seito took Takahashi Kinsaburo and others into custody and directed the grand execution in Sanjo Kawara, these people, these dignitaries with high status in Kyoto, have always been on tenterhooks.

They were afraid that Qingdeng was the kind of person who couldn't get the sand out of his eyes.

They were afraid that Qingteng would launch a "big purge" sweeping across Kyoto and targeting the powerful class!

Among the powerful class like them, including Inaba Masakuni and Nose Ryōbi, who has clean employees? Even if they are not the same, none of them can withstand the investigation!

When it comes to the seriousness of the crime committed... it is no exaggeration to say that compared to them, Takahashi Kinzaburo, who is just a Ginmi Fang Yu power, is nothing at all!

Some things won't weigh as much as four ounces if they don't go on the scale, and they won't weigh a thousand pounds if they go on the scale!

If Qingdeng really wanted to use his status as the governor of the capital and the general's favorite to suppress them, and was really determined to rid the capital of all "dirt", the consequences would be disastrous.

It is true that they are not soft persimmons who are easy to bully.

They have been working hard in Kyoto for many years and have a profound foundation. They are not afraid of Qingdou, who has only a shallow foundation.

However, if there is a full-scale conflict with Qingdeng, even if they can win the final victory, both sides will lose - or in other words, losing both sides is the best result they can get.

After all, the opponent they faced was the benevolent king who "killed an entire clan with one man".

God knows if he is driven to a desperate situation, he will repeat the feat of "breaking into Qingshui Residence alone".

Such a result is obviously not what they want to see.

But now, Qingdeng has personally given the guarantee.
