Shinro Kinoshita was making tea when the sound of gunshots came into the shop.

He is the owner of Kinoshita Clothing Shop. Because his shop is at the entrance to the Qingkou area, business is good.

But he knew that serious business was not enough to make money. Really profitable business was written in the Code.

He originally made quick money for several years by doing this when he was in Kyoto, Japan. Unfortunately, he didn't have enough power, so he almost went to jail after tricking a nobleman last year, all by giving away his wife and daughter, abandoning his family and career.

He worked his way up and down to escape from jail.

But after something like this happened, he couldn't stay in Kyoto any longer, or even in the whole of Japan. He had no choice but to leave his homeland and come to the Central Plains.

After arriving, he was ready to behave well with his tail between his legs.

It wasn't until he came to Qingkou that he discovered the benefits of his nationality.

Only then did he realize that the travelers in his hometown were not telling lies - because his country had once accepted a group of high-ranking nobles from the Central Plains who had fled, and now the high-ranking nobles had returned to the country and reciprocated by giving some privileges to their tribesmen.

.

For example, in the big city of Shanghai, a large area of ​​land was designated as a concession.

For example, the commander-in-chief of Shanghai was very partial to the Japanese and allowed them to run rampant in the concession.

So he had an idea and returned to his old business. Although he occupied a good position in business, he was unwilling to do business properly. After all, he had the experience of making quick money in the past, and making a little money from ordinary business could no longer satisfy his desire.

.

However, he knew that he was in a foreign country after all, so he couldn't do too much. He opened a ready-made clothing store, then tricked people into buying clothes, and then used it as a trick to blackmail people to pay the bills.

The advantage of this is that you generally can't offend powerful people, because he has done the screening, and he will use the benefits of being in Qingkou after becoming a Japanese citizen to attract customers.

If a customer will be seduced by his conditions, it means that the customer has no background - who with a background and energy would change their nationality for the sake of three melons and two dates?

What's more, for the people of the Central Plains, they regard foreigners from all over the world as barbarians.

In this way, money will come in slower, but it will be stable.

In the two years since he came to Hudu, he used this method to save some property off and on, so much so that he was able to hire four ronin to look after his home and nursery as thugs.

With these four ronin, his business is more secure. They are all ruthless characters who have really killed people. They used to be pirates in the South China Sea, and each of them has the lives of several Chinese businessmen on his hands.

As for the common people? There are more. They pirates often form groups to go ashore to plunder.

The reason why I submit to him now is because the sea is now being rectified by the royal family of China. They seem to be looking for something on the sea and are killing pirates from all over the world.

Looking back on what happened this time, he had never suffered such a loss from Yun Song since he recruited the four ronin.

He didn't expect that these outsiders would dare to snatch his clothes and run away, and even give him a lot of big mouths.

Recalling the scene when he was whipped, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and take a breath. It really hurt. That Taoist priest was so cruel, he slapped both of their big teeth!

And ran away!

But the Qingkou is so big, how can a few outsiders reach the temple as well as the monks?

He found out where these people were staying that night, and found that they had been tricked into a famous haunted house.

He was very happy to see this, and that night he found a group of Onmyoji who could control ghosts and gods and prepared to kill them directly.

Anyway, he can blame the murderous house for his life.

Who knew that these onmyojis were all intersex people, and they boasted that they could use yin and yang, but when they actually started fighting, they actually had people beat them out, and the beatings were very miserable. Some even had their own shikigami beaten out.

Beaten to death.

Of course, these onmyojis were talking about the shikigami being swallowed up by the spirit in the haunted house, but Kinoshita Shinro knew that they were saying this to save face. In fact, they were just letting the Taoist priest take care of them.

After this battle he calmed down.

He knew that he could not deal with these Taoist priests with his own energy, so he thought of using the power of local officials.

He usually gave evidence to the official patrols, and now it was time to take advantage of them.

As a result, a group of big shots suddenly came to my door in the middle of the night.

This group of people did not allow him to deal with these Taoist priests, saying that these people might have taken something important from them, and they wanted to monitor the situation of this group of people.

Until last night, the big shots came to him again, saying that the priests might not have taken their things, and he could do whatever he wanted.

However, the big shots warned him that these Taoist priests would be difficult to deal with. They might have some powerful supernatural powers, and it was best to rely on official power to deal with them.

Shinro Kinoshita understood that the big shots were teaching him to kill with a borrowed knife.

This will make Shinro Kinoshita feel energetic.

He contacted the patrol during the day and prepared to arrest people, but although he usually gave in confessions, his confessions were too little. He only gave evidence to one gangster, who could not mobilize enough manpower to arrest the five of them.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Kinoshita Shinro patiently waited for the five people to separate.

God Amaterasu bless you.

This evening, the young Taoist priest among the five went out alone. Fortunately, the Taoist priest came back soon, and he seized the opportunity and blocked him.

What a surprise!

The bigger surprise was that he took out a big gold bar from the little Taoist priest's arms!

Unfortunately, the gold bar did not fall into his hands in the end, but was confiscated by the two black policemen who ate people without spitting out their bones.

Just when I was thinking of this, there was a "bang" gunshot outside, and then the light bulb suddenly went dark.

The room was pitch dark, with a chilly air coming in.

The sound of drawing a knife sounded.

Shinro Kinoshita said: "Don't panic, this light bulb is broken, let me replace it."

As his figure swayed, the light bulb turned on.

The dim light shines, and tea flows out of the teapot on the table.

Seeing this, the leader of the ronin, the Straw Dog Divine Sword, who was sitting below, smiled slightly and said: "Kinoshita-kun, you are confused! The art of tea is like the way of the sword, and making tea is like drawing a sword. The mind must not be disturbed!"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Kinoshita Shinro laughed sarcastically. At this time, a man named Inoue Johito said: "Brother Grass Dog is right, but Kinoshita-kun's heart cannot help but be chaotic. Previously

We almost got a gold bar when we were there!"

Another ronin named Manoma said angrily: "Yes, that is a large piece of real gold. Why doesn't Brother Shenjian take the opportunity to kill those despicable Chinese dogs with a sword, and then we take away the piece of gold?"

"

"Yes, the sea is right out from here. We can hire a boat and hide on the sea to avoid being arrested by the Han officials."

"The Han people are as stupid as pigs and dogs. They only have a fertile land so they can create culture. But it is the ancient sages who can create a splendid culture. Now these Han pigs and dogs are obsessed with chaos. We don't even have to hide at sea.

, as long as you hide in Qingkou, you can avoid their eyes and ears."

The remaining ronin also spoke.

The Grass Dog Divine Sword smiled and said nothing. He pushed his cup forward and said, "Kinoshita-kun, please give me a cup of tea."

Shinro Kinoshita sighed and said: "If we can get that piece of gold, we can drink Jin Junmei black tea."

Tea gurgled into the tea cup.

The Grass Dog Divine Sword blew lightly, then raised his head and poured the tea into his mouth.

After putting down the tea cup, he said: "Although today's Han people are as stupid as pigs and dogs, you and I should know how powerful their ancient sages were."

"A sage once said, I want fish, I want bear's paws..."

At this point, he suddenly shut up and stopped talking.

Kinoshita Shinro said: "You can't have both. You'd rather take the bear's paw than the fish. Have you forgotten this sentence? But what do you mean by this sentence?"

The Grass Dog Divine Sword licked his beard and said: "No, how could I forget this sentence? Ahem, the reason why I stopped saying it is because, ahem, I found that I said it wrong, and what I want to say is not

This sentence is—"

"A sage of the Han people once said that it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish!"

"The gold bar is the fish, and the parchment I got is the skill of fishing!"

Shinro Kinoshita looked at him suspiciously and asked: "What are you talking about, Mr. Grass Dog, do you understand what you are talking about? Are you reliable?"

The Grass Dog Divine Sword said displeasedly: "What do Kinoshita-kun mean by this? When did I become unreliable?"

Shinro Kinoshita said: "The onmyojis you hired at a high price the night before yesterday were not reliable. Not only did they fail to defeat the Taoist priest, but they defeated the shikigami by the Taoist priest!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Gou Shen Jian's face suddenly turned ashen.

The people he found last time were really defeated.

But he quickly regained his composure and said: "I made a mistake last time because of my gullibility, but I will definitely not make a mistake this time!"

"Besides, how can the money you gave me be considered a high price? Your little money is only enough to hire the lowest level Onmyoji. Didn't the adults of the Yamato Shinto Sect say that before? That Taoist priest is already quite advanced, and the one next to him is

A very handsome young man is even a master. Isn't it normal for the onmyoji we hired to make a mistake?"

The other ronin nodded.

Shino Kinoshita said unhappily:

"What about this time? You won't miss it this time? What kind of parchment did you pick up that is more valuable than a large piece of gold? Could it be that what you found was the Han people's Midas touch to turn stone into gold?"
