【Breaking Update 1W3】
Hua Hua Hua...
Suddenly, Otsuki Minoru and others heard a noisy sound coming from the front.
Looking around, one could see that the dense flow of people in front of them were spreading to the left and right sides, making way for a spacious passage for a group of three people headed by a scar-faced man.
This scar-faced man was none other than Sasaki, who had just said hello to Qingden and was currently carefully inspecting the stall guarded by his "Shimizu Clan".
Sasaki led his men and strode forward in a majestic and arrogant manner along the middle of the street that had been vacated by the pedestrians' concessions.
Otsuki Minoru and his party happened to be standing on Sasaki's only path.
Although they didn't recognize Sasaki, they recognized Yakuza's iconic body tattoos.
Not wanting to cause any trouble, they quickly followed the crowd around them and quickly stood on the street.
While watching Sasaki leave, they heard the people around them discussing in detail:
"Who are these people? Why are they so arrogant?"
"Shh, keep your voice down, these people are from the 'Qingshui Clan'."
"Gu...Qingshui clan..."
"move……"
…
"It turns out these people are Yakuza from the 'Shimizu Clan'..." One of Tsuneji's friends smacked his tongue and cast his gaze back on Sasaki's back, which had almost disappeared from their sight, "No wonder it's like this
prestige……"
"If a Yakuza can reach the level of the 'Qingshui Clan', his life in this world will be considered worthwhile." Another person echoed.
"Haha, I'm a little excited for no reason..." Changci grinned and raised his hand to hold his chest that was inflated unconsciously, "Haha, I didn't expect that one day we would have to negotiate business with such a behemoth."
As soon as he said this, his friends who were standing next to him all showed confident and confident smiles.
Changci and his three friends are all rich and powerful children from wealthy families.
But they are different from the "fallen rich generation" who only know how to spend money lavishly, eat and die, and have no ambitions.
They are full of ambition and desire to achieve a career far greater than that of their elders.
As a result, they hit it off as they had similar interests, and after several careful discussions, they decided to jointly open a liquor wholesale store in Edo specializing in selling "shangfang water".
The so-called "Shangfang Shu" is a drink produced in the Gyeonggi area.
Because Kyoto has a strong historical and cultural influence that is unmatched by other cities, people in the Kanto area often refer to the Gyeonggi area as "Shanggang", and the drinks produced in the Gyeonggi area are often called "Shanggang water"
.
Because of its superior taste, "Shangfang Shui" has always been a best-seller in Kanto.
If you want to open such a large-scale store in Edo... it is very necessary to have a good relationship with local gangsters like the "Shimizu Clan".
This time, the reason why Tsuneji and others made a sudden visit to Edo was to discuss in detail with the "Shimizu Clan" about opening a store in Edo.
This was the first time that they had dealt with such a large business... Even though they were accustomed to the world, they couldn't help but feel a little nervous and frightened.
"Hehe... I hope this big business can be successfully negotiated with the 'Qingshui Clan'..." Changci muttered.
"...Changci."
Otsuki Minoru, who had been silent since just now, suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled Tsuneji's sleeve.
"Do we...really want to interact with the 'Qingshui Clan'?"
There was a faint uneasiness in Otsuki Minoru's eyes.
"It's already this time, why are you still saying such things?" Chang Ci laughed dumbly, "Don't worry, we're just talking about business, what could happen?"
"That's true... but the 'Qingshui Clan' are Yakuza... we can't use common sense to measure them..."
Otsuki Minoru has always held a "disagree" attitude towards the fact that Tsuneji and others are preparing to discuss business with the "Shimizu Clan".
As a native of Edo, she has often heard about the horrific deeds of the "Shimizu Clan" since she was a child.
A big shot who came from nowhere suddenly fell ill and died because he accidentally offended the 'Qingshui Clan'...
Because so and so could not repay the money of the "Qingshui Clan", their whole family was dragged away and sold by the "Qingshui Clan"...
The Yakuza group from out of town wanted to plant a flag in Edo, but they were wiped out by the powerful "Shimizu Clan"...
…
The various atrocities committed by the "Qingshui Clan" could take three days and three nights to describe.
Although Otsuki Minoru knew very well that a Yakuza group like the "Shimizu Clan" already had strong attributes of a business group and were not bandits who didn't follow any rules.
But Otsuki Minoru still wants to try his best to avoid keeping a distance from this kind of murderous and bloody organization.
"Ashi, it's okay."
Changci saw Otsuki Minoru's uneasiness, he stretched out his hands, grabbed Otsuki Minoru's shoulders, and raised the corners of his mouth with a confident arc.
"I'm just talking business with them, and I'm not doing any dirty tricks that might offend others."
"If business negotiations with them don't go smoothly, the worst possible outcome is to just not talk to them."
"Relax!"
Tsuneji patted Otsuki Minoru's shoulders vigorously.
Otsuki Minoru: "Well..."
…
…
But he said back to Qingdeng——
After breaking up with Otsuki Minoru, Aomori successfully reconciled with Kinoshita.
"Qingteng." Kinoshita Wu, holding a bag of baked rice cakes in her hand, stood on tiptoes and looked behind Qingteng curiously, "I seem to have seen you talking to someone just now...who was that person?"
"
"The daughter of my father's friend."
The next moment Aoto told the truth, Kinoshita Mai's expression froze.
But the words Aoto sent immediately after made Kinoshita Mai's expression return to normal.
"Although I have a childhood sweetheart relationship with that person... I haven't had any contact with her since she married in Nara more than a year ago."
"That friend of yours is already married..." Kinoshita Mai showed an unnoticeable look of relief.
"Well, yes, I married a wealthy businessman from Nara. I just met her by chance, so I had a few words with her."
"Qingdeng, it's a rare reunion with old friends. Why don't you go and have a few more words with them?"
"That's not necessary. In fact, I didn't know that person very well a long time ago. If I insist on chatting with her, I don't know what to talk about, so I can only talk about the weather and what I've eaten today.
What happened?"
Kinoshita Mai's expression instantly became more relaxed, a faint hint of happiness flashed through her eyes, and the corners of her mouth turned up in a subtle arc that could not be noticed without careful observation.
Qingto, who didn't want to talk more about Otsuki Minoru, took the initiative to change the topic.
"A Wu, let's go." Qingden handed the sweet water he just bought from the tea stall to Kinoshita Wu, "We still haven't visited many places."
"Um!"
…
…
"Lord Sasaki! Lord Sasaki!"
Sasaki suddenly heard someone calling him.
Following the direction of the sound, he turned around and saw a very thin man squeezing through the crowd and running towards him.
This person is none other than one of his capable men: Kinzaburo.
"What happened?" Sasaki asked calmly, "Did something happen to the neighborhood you are responsible for?"
Tonight, Sasaki assigned Kinzaburo the task of patrolling the neighborhood at the west end of Nihonbashi Bridge and protecting their "place" of the "Shimizu Clan" at the west end of Nihonbashi Bridge.
Seeing Kinzaburo's hurried look, Sasaki subconsciously thought that something had happened to the neighborhood he was responsible for.
"No." Kinzaburo, who ran to Sasaki, was panting and adjusting his disordered breathing while shaking his head vigorously. "It's peaceful over there. Nothing happened. It's just..."
Speaking of this, Kinsaburo paused.
He raised his head, looked around with vigilant eyes, then put his lips close to Sasaki's ear, and whispered something to Sasaki.
"?!" Sasaki was still looking calm just now, but the moment Kinzaburo finished whispering, his expression suddenly changed.
"...I understand." Sasaki said in a deep voice, "Thank you for your hard work. Just step back and do what you have to do."
"Yes!" Kinzaburo bowed to Sasaki respectfully, and then left quickly. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from Sasaki's sight.
"..." Sasaki stared at the void in front of him, wondering what he was thinking.
After a moment, he turned around without saying a word.
No more patrolling the streets.
Instead, we are heading towards an unknown place.
After twisting and turning through several streets and alleys, Sasaki and the two subordinates who had been following him on his left and right plunged into a dark alley.
In the alleyway, the air was filled with the pungent smell of alcohol, causing Sasaki to frown slightly unconsciously.
"Hmm...? The wine is all gone... Phew! Who went to buy the wine? This little wine is not enough for me to drink!"
A violent roar came from the deepest part of the alley - five young men, all very young, were standing or sitting, "scattered" everywhere.
Without exception, these five people all exuded the extremely strong and extremely unpleasant smell of alcohol.
One of them was leaning on the wall, slumped on the ground like a puddle of mud, playing with a shiny and gorgeous wakizashi in his left hand, and holding an empty wine bottle in his right hand.
This person had the strongest smell of alcohol. His face was as red as if it had been painted with red paint due to too much alcohol intake. His eyes were blurred, and the corners of his mouth were curled up because he had drunk all the wine——
The irritable roar just now came from this person.
At this time, the young man raised his head when he heard the footsteps of Sasaki and others, and met Sasaki's eyes.
"...I am your lord, please welcome me."
Sasaki bent down and took the lead in bowing to the young man with a very respectful attitude.
That's his name.
Qing Shui I made it.
The surname is "Qingshui"... just by hearing this surname, you can know how extraordinary this young man's identity is.
This person is the leader of their "Shimizu Clan": the nephew of Eiichi Shimizu!
"Huh? Isn't this Sasaki..."
Qingshui grinned.
"Sasaki, why are you here?"
"My subordinates reported to me that you were drinking nearby, so I came to take a look."
"Oh...that's it...hehehe, I really bother you."
Shimizu Gosaku raised a gentle smile towards Sasaki, then subconsciously raised the wine bottle in his right hand and put the bottle mouth to his lips.
Only half a drop of wine dripped out of the wine bottle that had been drained long ago.
"..." Qing Shuiwu stared blankly at the empty bottle in his hand.
Then...a rather horrifying scene happened.
Just now, he had a gentle expression on his face and said "Thank you for your hard work" to Sasaki thoughtfully, but his expression suddenly changed!
His eyebrows were raised, his eyes were swollen with anger, and his face, which was already extremely red due to drunkenness, suddenly became even redder.
"Oh shit!"
Qingshui Gozuo cursed loudly, raised his hand, and threw out the empty wine bottle in his palm.
The wine bottle flying in a parabola passed by Sasaki's cheek, and with a clang, it landed behind Sasaki and broke into thousands of pieces.
One second he was placid, but the next second he was furious... Shimizu Gosaku's mood changed so quickly that it made people shudder.
But Sasaki looked like he had long been accustomed to this situation.
"I'm out of wine...it's really unlucky..."
Shimizu Gosaku held on to the wall behind him and slowly got up from the ground.
"There's really nothing I can do... Hey! Let's go! It's time to buy wine!"
With a bossy attitude, he issued rude orders to the men around him.
Just when he was about to lead his men and pass by Sasaki with shaky steps——
"...My lord, you are already drunk, why don't you go home and take a rest for now?"
Sasaki stopped Shimizu Gosaku in as humble a tone as possible.
"……Aha?"
Qingshuigo paused, slowly turned his face, and cast a very oppressive look at Sasaki.
"Sasaki...I'm drunk...don't bother me."
After saying that, Shimizu Gosaku ignored Sasaki.
He withdrew his gaze and continued to lead his men out of the alley.
But at this moment, something happened.
"Hmm...!"
Shimizu Gosaku, who had been fine just now, suddenly clutched his head and groaned in pain.
"Am I an adult?"
"I am the master!"
"Did you get sick again?"
…
Shimizu Gosaku's men all let out shouts of fear and worry.
Sasaki couldn't help but give Shimizu Gosaku a look of surprise and worry.
"Medicine...medicine...medicine..."
Shimizu Gosaku put his trembling hands into his arms and took a small porcelain bottle about the size of his thumb into his hands.
"?!" Looking at the porcelain bottle in Shimizu Gosaku's hand, Sasaki's expression instantly became extremely strange.
"Drink uh...! Drink uh...! Drink uh...!" Shimizu Gosaku hurriedly poured out a purple and red pill from the porcelain bottle, and stuffed it into his mouth with an "Ah woo" without even chewing.
He swallowed it directly into his stomach.
After swallowing this strange-colored pill, Shimizu Gosaku's expression returned to normal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"I feel comfortable..."
Shimizu Gosaku pressed his forehead and leaned against the wall beside him. After a long while, he let out a long sigh as if he was relieved.
"gone……"
Qingshui "separated" from the alley wall he was leaning on and walked out of the alley again.
Sasaki did not call Gosaku Shimizu back this time...but just stood there, watching Gosaku Shimizu leave.
It wasn't until Gosaku Shimizu's figure completely disappeared from sight that Sasaki took a deep breath and let out a silent sigh.
Sasaki has always felt very sorry for their leader's nephew.
Shimizu Gosaku has been suffering from a strange disease since he was a child, and his head always hurts.
When I first got sick, the symptoms were not serious. When I got sick, I just felt like my head was being pricked lightly by a needle.
But as I grew older, my symptoms worsened. My head pain became more and more frequent, and the pain became more and more intense.
Today, "needling" has become "hammering".
When the disease was at its most severe, I would often roll on the floor in pain and scream in agony that was too shrill for a human being to make. I couldn't even touch my hair. When I touched my hair, I felt like my whole scalp was being pricked by needles.
Their leader, Eiichi Shimizu, has always been very protective of his family.
He couldn't bear to see his nephew suffering from illness, so he took Shimizu Gosaku to see various famous doctors.
Kampo medicine, orchid medicine... in short, as long as they are doctors who can treat people, I have seen them all.
But it's a pity...most doctors can't even diagnose what disease Shimizu Gosaku has.
The few doctors who could barely identify the cause of Shimizugo's illness all had a surprisingly unanimous view: Although Shimizugo's disease is not fatal, there is no cure or cure, and it can only rely on willpower.
To endure the pain.
Gosaku Shimizu, who had lost hope of treatment, spent every day in pain, and even committed suicide several times because of the severe pain in his head.
Shimizu Gosaku's painful life continued until one day... Shimizu Eiichi suddenly gave Shimizu Gosaku a strange medicine.
It's the red and purple pills Shimizu Gosaku took just now.
This is not a medicine for treating illnesses. As far as Sasaki knows, this medicine seems to be an analgesic that can greatly offset the pain of physical illness.
This medicine does have miraculous effects. Whenever Shimizu Gosaku gets sick again, he can immediately feel the pain disappear after swallowing one pill.
But... I wonder if it was Sasaki's personal illusion, but he always felt that this "painkiller"... seemed a bit weird.
Ever since Shimizu Gosaku took this medicine, his whole temperament has become weird.
It feels like he... seems to be increasingly unable to control his emotions and desires.
In terms of personal talent alone, Gosaku Shimizu is by no means an outstanding talent.
He likes to drink and is lustful. His daily entertainment activity is to hang out in various izakayas, Okonokoro places, and Yoshiwara in Edo. Apart from eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, and smoking, he can't do anything. He is a very standard kind of person who can't stand up to the wall.
of mud.
However, he is incompetent, and he rarely causes trouble outside based on his status as the "nephew of the leader of the Qingshui clan".
The situation changed when Eiichi Shimizu gave him the strange-colored "painkiller".
After taking this medicine, Shimizu Gosaku started to cause various troubles outside more and more frequently.
He often gets into violent conflicts with people on the street over trivial matters.
If he falls in love with a woman, he will directly harass her, or even drag her to a deserted place and torture her.
If you want to drink, just open your belly and drink, no matter the time or place, drink until you are satisfied.
It was obvious that he had rarely done this kind of bullying of men and women before... Gosaku Shimizu was also a relative of their boss, so it was impossible to ignore him.
In order to help Shimizu Gosaku resolve the troubles he had caused, Sasaki and the others, as "subordinates", spent a lot of effort on this.
Fortunately, the "Shimizu Clan" has deep roots in Edo and has hands and eyes that can reach the sky. Otherwise, with the tricks Shimizu Gosaku created, he would have been dragged to the execution ground for the Yamada Asaemon family, which has been killing people for generations.
Tried the knife.
Many senior officials in the "Shimizu Clan" have reported these recent ridiculous behaviors of Shimizu Gosaku to Eiichi Shimizu, and hope that Eiichi Shimizu can properly discipline Shimizu Gosaku.
However... Shimizu Eiichi is always aggressive and decisive in front of his subordinates, but he is always hesitant when it comes to dealing with family ties.
He had warned Gosaku Shimizu very seriously, asking him to restrain his temper and stop causing trouble outside.
But with little success.
These symptoms of Shimizu Gosaku feel like... losing the ability to control one's desires.
In addition to desire, Shimizu Gosaku's emotions are often out of control.
His mood became increasingly unstable and unpredictable.
Often, one minute he was talking to you in a pleasant manner, and the next moment he suddenly got angry and yelled at you.
Sasaki didn't know whether the changes made by Shimizugo were caused by the strange "painkiller" given by Eiichi Shimizu... He didn't dare to think too much or study this issue in detail.
After all, this matter is considered a family matter of their leader, and a matter of this level is beyond the scope of a small cadre like him to intervene.
Just now, the reason why Sasaki advised Gosaku Shimizu, who was already drunk, to go home and rest was because he was worried that Gosaku Shimizu, whose consciousness had become more confused under the influence of alcohol, would cause trouble again.
Shimizu Gosaku didn't listen to his advice...then there was nothing Sasaki could do.
Orally admonishing the leader's nephew to go home and rest was the only thing he could do as a small cadre of the "Qingshui Clan".
Using a tough attitude to force Shimizu Gosaku to go home quickly? Stop making trouble. Only Shimizu Eiichi has the qualifications and courage to do such a thing.
Sasaki, who felt that he had done his best, collected himself and returned along the way he came.
As soon as he got out of the alley, he saw a thin figure running towards him "whooshing".
It was Kinzaburo who had just reported to him that "Shimizu Gosaku was drinking nearby."
"Kinsaburo, why are you here again? What happened again?"
"..." Kinsaburo showed a strange expression and did not respond to Sasaki's question immediately.
He silently quickened his pace a little, and after approaching Sasaki's side, he put his lips to Sasaki's ear, moved his lips, and whispered a brief word.
A scene very similar to just now happened.
After listening to Kinzaburo's whisper, Sasaki's expression changed suddenly.
However, what was different from before was that Sasaki did not calmly wave to Kinzaburo to retreat this time.
I saw him spreading his legs and running straight towards the street ahead at a sprinting speed.
After a while, Sasaki, who was speeding along, found an outdoor tea stall.
This tea stall is very small. According to statistics, there are only 5 benches, and the seats on the benches are basically occupied.
The tea stall owners and customers fell silent after seeing the colorful tattoos on Sasaki and others - only a middle-aged man wearing a wide-brimmed bamboo hat and plain clothes, sitting alone in the corner, moved.
Calmly holding the tea cup with both hands, sipping the tea carefully.
Sasaki hurriedly stepped into the empty seat next to the middle-aged man, lowered his voice and said in a deep voice:
"Dad...!"
In the "Qingmizu Clan" that implements the "family system", the person who can be respectfully called "Dad" by Sasaki... The identity of this middle-aged man has already been revealed.
"Sasaki." Eiichi Shimizu took a sip of the tea that was just the right temperature, "How are you? Is the venue for the fireworks display still calm?"
Just now, what Kinsaburo whispered to Sasaki was, "Dad is here! He is calling you over!"
"Yeah. Nothing happened."
Sasaki gave Eiichi Shimizu a brief report on the current situation near Ryogoku Bridge in a concise and comprehensive manner.
When he was done, he paused for a moment, then changed to a puzzled tone and asked Shimizu Eiichi:
"Dad, why are you here suddenly? But to inspect the territory of our 'Qingshui Clan'?"
"You are overthinking, there is no complicated reason."
Qingshui Rong chuckled a few times and put the teacup in his hand aside.
"I simply want to come out for air, have a rest, and enjoy my favorite fireworks."
"When I was just an unknown person who could be seen everywhere on the streets, my favorite activity was the annual fireworks display in Edo."
"Fireworks...are equal to everyone."
After saying this, Eiichi Shimizu's eyes flashed with the light of reminiscence.
"No matter whether you are rich or poor, whether you are a warrior or a filthy man, you can all enjoy the beautiful fireworks."
After saying that, Shimizu Eiichi picked up the teacup again.
"The reason why I summoned you here suddenly is because I want you to help me get a boat to come over."
"It's better to sit in a boat on the Sumida River and watch the fireworks, which will give you a better feeling."
"No problem, leave it to me." Sasaki nodded without thinking, "Dad, give me 30 minutes... no, 20 minutes, and I will immediately help you arrange the most luxurious boat."
"It doesn't have to be so grand. Just get me a boat that's comfortable enough to sit on. I just want to enjoy the beauty of the fireworks quietly tonight."
Qingshui Rongyi raised his hand and gently patted the bamboo hat on his head.
"Don't be too public about my visit to the fireworks display tonight. I don't want to be disturbed by too many people tonight."
"I understand." Sasaki nodded in agreement.
Qing Shuirong waved his hand to indicate that he had finished what he wanted to say.
Sasaki bowed humbly to Eiichi Shimizu, and then got up to complete the task ordered by Eiichi Shimizu.
But at this moment... Sasaki suddenly remembered something.
After several hesitations, Sasaki bit his back molars and sat back down on his just-raised buttocks.
"...Dad, I have something to report to you."
"Um?"
"That's it...I just met Mr. Gosaku..."
In a few words, Sasaki informed Eiichi Shimizu of the details of his encounter with Gosaku Shimizu.
Sasaki personally believed that it was necessary to report to Eiichi Shimizu that Gosaku Shimizu was nearby and that he was very drunk.
After Eiichi Shimizu quietly listened to Sasaki's report, he murmured expressionlessly:
"Is that so... I think he is drinking nearby..."
"..." Sasaki, who told all the facts truthfully, kept his mouth shut and said no more words.
"...Sasaki, thank you for your hard work."
After saying this brief compliment that was neither salty nor bland, Eiichi Shimizu's eyes flashed with a thoughtful light.
He held up the teacup in his hand, drank the tea in one gulp, and then stood up slowly...
…
…
Shimizu Gosaku, who was badly shaken when he walked due to drunkenness, walked forward in a zigzag manner with a zigzag step.
It is common sense among ordinary people to stay as far away from drunkards as possible.
What's more, these drunkards have dragons and phoenixes tattooed on their bodies.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, all pedestrians who happened to be in front of Qingshui Wushu dispersed in a direction away from Qingshui Wushu.
"Ah, my lord! I found the izakaya!"
One of the subordinates behind Gosaku Shimizu raised his hand and pointed towards a izakaya that was still in operation in front of him.
After walking such a long way, they finally found an izakaya that was still in business. Shimizu Gosaku's subordinates all showed happy expressions.
"I am the master... hmm? I am the master?"
At this time, Shimizu Gosaku's subordinates realized belatedly that their master was stopping in his tracks and staring straight ahead.
The men followed Shimizu Gosaku's line of sight - the figure of a beautiful young woman wearing a dark brown yukata suddenly came into their sight.
At this moment, Gosaku Shimizu had no expression on his face.
It's just that the whites of the eyes suddenly have many red blood streaks...
…
…
"Wow, look at the hairpins in that girl's hair... they are so luxurious..."
"It must cost a lot of money to prepare such a set of hairpins..."
"That's great...if only I could have a set of hairpins like this..."
…
While walking around the fireworks display venue with Tsuneji and others, Otsuki Minoru would occasionally receive envious looks from people who recognized how extravagant the hairpin she was wearing was.
Otsuki Shi pretended to be calm, but in fact, he could no longer hold back the corners of his mouth that were curling up.
The sense of superiority that arose spontaneously from the bottom of her heart made Otsuki feel comfortable all over her body, her head was raised high, and her nose almost turned to the sky.
I couldn't help but secretly sigh that I was really lucky.
In the current chaotic world, how many people are starving and living without enough food, but I can live a rich life with such luxurious cosmetics and clothing.
Thinking of this, Otsuki Minoru subconsciously smiled triumphantly and stood closer to the husband who had brought her all this.
But at this moment... Otsuki Minoru suddenly felt someone hugging her from behind.
This person's left hand slid along her lower waist and onto her breasts, while his right hand went around her right shoulder and stretched out in front of her breasts.
His whole body was pressed against Otsuki Minoru's back.
Otsuki Minoru was so frightened that she screamed.
Chang Ci and his friends were all shocked by this sudden turn of events, and their expressions changed greatly.
"Hey! Who are you?!"
Tsuneji was the first to react, and while shouting loudly, he reached out and pushed away the young man who suddenly hugged Otsuki Minoru with all his strength... namely Shimizu Gosaku.
"Hehehe..." Shimizu Gosaku, who was pushed back by Changji, staggered a few steps. His body swayed a few times, and after he stabilized his body, he showed a strange smile.
Otsuki Minoru was frightened, and it was the first time she was treated so frivolously by someone. Her eyes burst into tears. While tightening the skirt of her yukata, she shrank and looked at Gosaku Shimizu, whom she didn't recognize at all.
Changci: "Who are you? What do you want to do?!"
The moment he pushed Shimizu Gosaku away, Tsuneji discovered that Shimizu Gosaku and his subordinates were all drunk, and they all had tattoos on their bodies... A flash of astonishment and worry flashed across their faces.
Drunk Yakuza... In this era, this is simply a walking "bomb" that everyone is afraid of avoiding.
Although fear had arisen in his heart, Changci did not want to lose face in front of his wife and friends, so he could only brace himself, open his hands, and protect Otsuki Minori behind him.
The commotion caused by Otsuki Minoru's group and Shimizu Gosaku immediately attracted many people to stop and watch.
"What do you want to do...?" Shimizu Gosaku burped while repeating what Tsuneji had just said, "I haven't done anything... Is this... your wife? I just want to meet your wife.
She is pretty and has a good body, so I just wanted to touch her..."
After saying that, Shimizu Gosaku covered his forehead and burst into laughter.
"Brother... you are very happy...! Your wife's body... looks so good...! Where there should be flesh... there is meat...! Hahaha...!"
Shimizugo's flippant speech made many onlookers around him laugh out loud.
After being frivolous in body, and now being frivolous in words, the mist covering Otsuki Minoru's eyes became even heavier.
Tsuneji was also a little angry when Shimizugo made such remarks and attitude.
He forced himself to remain calm and shouted to Qingshuigo word by word.
"Your behavior is so rude! Please apologize to my wife!"
"Hiccup... why are you so angry..." Shimizu Gosaku stretched out the little finger of his right hand nonchalantly and plucked his ear, "I didn't do anything to your wife... I just hugged her... you do it every night
I can pin this woman down on the bed... I just hugged her... You have nothing to lose at all, right...?"
After finishing his words, Shimizu Gosaku leaned forward and slid towards Otsuki Minoru who was hiding behind Tsuneji. He opened his arms wide, as if he wanted to take Otsuki Minori into his arms again.
Otsuki Minoru was so frightened that she screamed again.
Seeing this, he couldn't care less and hurriedly stretched out his hand to push Shimizu Gosaku to the ground.
"please stop!"
This time, Shimizu Gosaku failed to stabilize his body. He staggered back a few steps and fell to the ground.
"I am the master!"
"I am the master! Are you okay?"
…
Shimizu Gosaku's subordinates quickly gathered around.
"Huh...! Huh...! Huh...! Huh...!"
Shimizu Gosaku sat up straight with the help of his subordinates.
He covered his face with his hands and let out heavy breathing like a beast.
"If you are so rude again, I will report you to the official!"
Changji raised his chest high and tried his best to use a strong tone.
"...Reporter...?"
Shimizu Gosaku slowly removed the hand covering his face.
Then……
"It's so noisy——!!"
Bang!
He suddenly jumped up, and with the momentum of his forward momentum, he threw a punch. The face of the fist was firmly imprinted on Changci's face, making a loud "bang" sound, knocking Changci directly to the ground!
"Well……!"
Changci let out a painful groan, covering his cheek, which had a clear fist mark on it, and was now swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye, and was rolling on the ground in pain.
"If you want to report to the official, just go and report it!"
A large number of red blood filaments, like the branches of a big tree, covered the whites of Qingshui Wusaku's eyes.
Because there were too many red blood filaments and they were too dense, Shimizu Gosaku's eyes looked like they were only red and black.
While he opened his mouth wide and exhaled a breath, he raised his hand to grab the hem of his yukata and took off the clothes on his upper body, revealing the complicated tattoos covering most of his upper body.
"Let me tell you! I am the nephew of the leader of the 'Shimizu Clan', Shimizu Eiichi, Shimizu Gosaku! If you want to report to the official, you should go and report! See if there is any official in the northern and southern divisions who dares to make the decision for you!"
The Qingshui clan?!
Upon hearing this term, Otsuki Minoru, Tsuneji who was still lying on the ground groaning, and Tsuneji's friends suddenly changed their expressions.
Just now, they were lamenting how majestic the "Qingshui Clan" was, but then they turned around and offended someone from the "Qingshui Clan"... and he was also the nephew of the leader of the "Qingshui Clan"?
The reality unfolding before their eyes was so shocking that Otsuki Minoru and his team's heads went into a state of shutdown uncontrollably.
At this time, Shimizu Gosaku once again became violent.
He swooped forward like a big bird, rode on Changci's body, waved his fists, and said hello to Changci's face.
Changci had learned some self-defense martial arts, but because he had lost the opportunity and Shimizu Gosaku had the advantage of being able to attack him from a high position, he completely lost the ability to fight back. He could only cover his face with his hands and let out a killing blow.
Screaming like a pig.
"Hey! Stop!"
"Let him go!"
"asshole!"
…
Seeing this, Tsuneji's friends could no longer sit still and rushed forward, trying to separate Tsuneci and Shimizu Gosaku.
Qingshui Wuzuo, who is now acting like a lunatic, beats anyone he sees.
In the blink of an eye, he was wrestling with Changci's friends.
This time, the subordinates who were replaced by Shimizu could not sit still.
When their master is beaten, how can they, their subordinates, remain indifferent?
As a result, they quickly joined the battle.
Chang Ci and others from the "Shang Dynasty", who are the opponents of these Yakuza who have extremely rich street fighting skills?
The battle situation was a complete one-sided massacre.
One minute ago, these friends of Chang Cic were still able to stand up straight.
One minute later, they were lying on the ground just like Changji, being beaten unilaterally by Shimizu Gosaku and others.
"Anyone, anyone can do it! Please come and help us!"
Otsuki Minoru, whose face had turned extremely pale since just now, was crying so hard that she looked at the surrounding onlookers for help in despair.
Those caught by Otsuki Minoru's pleading look either pretended not to notice, or looked away abruptly.
It’s not that everyone doesn’t have a sense of justice in their hearts.
It's that the situation in front of us is beyond the scope of ordinary people's ability to deal with it.
Shimizu Eiichi's nephew... who has the ability to pour this muddy water?
Even if he doesn't have such a prominent title, his status as "Drunken Yakuza" is enough to make ordinary people feel overwhelmed.
All they could do was to go to the nearby Jiban and ask their local officials to come and help.
No one came forward to help them... Otsuki Minoru's delicate and pretty face gradually cast a look of despair.
"You bitch are really noisy..."
Gosaku Shimizu, who seemed to have more red bloodshot eyes, let go of Tsuneji who had been beaten into a pig's head by him, walked up to Otsuki Minoru in a swagger, picked up a big slap, and slapped Otsuki Minoru.
Slap him to the ground...
…
…
Bang.
The headless arrows thrown by Kinoshita Mai accurately hit the products on the shelf again and again.
She had a look of joy on her face, and her hands raised to her chest clenched into two small fists in excitement... In contrast, the owner of the game stall, a middle-aged uncle with a big bald head, showed an expression that was about to cry without tears.
"Congratulations, congratulations..." The bald boss relied on his strong professionalism to force out a smile, "I have hit another product..."
At this time, Ayoto and Mai Kinoshita were standing in front of a game stall.
What this stall offers is a very classic game from the Edo period - throw arrows at the products on the shelves, and whichever product you hit will be yours.
Aoto is not good at playing this kind of game, but Kinoshita Mai is really good at this kind of game.
I saw Kinoshita Mai showing off her prowess in front of the booth, hitting 8 out of 10 shots, a staggeringly high hit rate.
In just the blink of an eye, Kinoshita Mai had dropped one-fifth of the products on the shelf... From just now, the bald boss kept sending Qingnobo looks asking for help.
Please, stop playing, take your female companion away quickly - this is the message conveyed in the eyes of the bald boss.
From Kinoshita Mai's skillful throwing technique, it can be seen that she must have specially practiced the relevant skills.
She has great agility, is good at flying over walls and flying over walls, and is also good at throwing props... Qingto always feels that these skills that Kinoshita Mai has mastered make her seem to be getting closer and closer to the folklore of "the cat monk is a female ninja".
Kinoshita Mai has no interest in the products at this stall, she just wants to enjoy the process of playing games.
So after having a great time, she said to the bald boss very generously: I don’t want these products anymore. I had a great time. Thank you for your hospitality!
The bald boss suddenly burst into tears of gratitude... as if he was about to cry with excitement.
"Aoden, where are we going to play next?" Kinoshita Mai, who quickly left the game stall, looked at Aoto who was walking side by side with her and asked.
Qingden took out his pocket watch and checked the time: "It seems it's almost time for the fireworks... I think we should go to Ryogoku Bridge to find a good spot to watch the fireworks."
"Is it already this time?" Kinoshita Mai was startled, "There's nothing we can do about it... Then let's go to Ryogoku Bridge to find a spot to watch the fireworks."
"I hope there won't be too many people at Ryogoku Bridge right now," Qingto said half-jokingly.
After finalizing their decision, the two changed their route to the west and headed straight towards the core area of the fireworks display.
But at this moment...the two of them suddenly heard a noise coming from the front.
"What's wrong?" Kinoshita Mai murmured.
"..." Qingdeng didn't say a word, but he frowned slightly.
The location where the noise came from happened to be at the place where Qingdeng and the others must pass.
Attracted by the noise, the two men quickened their pace slightly.
Taking advantage of his physical advantage, which was much taller than most adults of this era, Qingdeng, who was able to "see from a high position", was the first to see clearly what was happening ahead in just a few moments.
"?!" For a moment, Qingdeng's face was filled with intense astonishment.
The true identity of this series of noisy movements is none other than Gosaku Shimizu, Minoru Otsuki and his group who are currently fighting on the street.
At this moment, Aoto and Mai Kinoshita both happened to see Gosaku Shimizu slap Otsuki Minoru to the ground.
Otsuki Minori fell to the ground, covering her cheeks that were rapidly reddening and swollen, while crying louder and more pitifully.
The Yakuza who exuded a strong smell of alcohol, the men and women who were beaten badly... did not need anyone to help explain. Just by watching this scene, Aoto and Kinoshita Mai could roughly guess what happened.
What happened?
Kinoshita Mai was stunned at first, and then immediately showed an expression of indignation.
She has a strong sense of justice and hates this kind of bullying of men and women.
There was almost no hesitation - Mai Kinoshita, with a solemn face, pulled out a cuff from her belt.
But before she could use the cuffs to tie up the sleeves of her yukata...
"...A Wu, you stay here. Just leave this matter to me."
Kinoshita Mai raised her pretty face at the sound - she saw a tall figure striding fearlessly towards the place where the tragedy happened...
…
…
It wasn't that he had any sympathy for Otsuki Minoru.
With his bad impression of Otsuki Minoru, it is really difficult for Qingnobu to have any sympathy for this girl.
The reason why he stepped forward without thinking at this moment was mainly because of Otsuki Minoru's father, Miyagawa Shunzou.
Miyagawa Shunzou was kind to him... to be precise, he was kind to "Hara Tachibana Aoden". But this kind of kindness has not yet been repaid.
Ever since his soul traveled to this era, he and "Original Orange Qingden" have been one.
The benefactors and enemies of "Original Orange Qingden" are now his benefactors and enemies.
Now that his benefactor's only daughter was in trouble... Qingdeng just couldn't bear to stand by and watch.
And like Kinoshita Mai, he couldn't stand this kind of bullying of men and women.
Due to emotions and reasons, it was difficult for Qingdeng to just stand by and watch the accident in front of him.
Having made up his mind, Ayoto squeezed through the crowd in front of him and stepped into the "vacuum zone" vacated by the onlookers for Gosaku Shimizu, Minoru Otsuki and others.
Then--
"That's enough! Stop it, everyone!"
The talent "Piercing Clouds and Cracking Stones" is activated.
The loud shouting was like a restraining technique, causing Otsuki Minoru and others. Shimizugo and his group, who were busy inflicting violence on Otsuki Minoru and others, stopped one after another.
"Tangerine...?" Otsutsuki stared blankly at the sudden appearance of Qingden with a pair of beautiful eyes.
A look of disbelief.
After hearing Otsuki Minoru's murmur, Tsuneji and the others quickly cast their astonished gazes on Ayoto.
Is this the "dumb head"?
"……who are you?"
Shimizu Gosaku slowly put down the second slap he wanted to slap Otsuki Minori, turned his face, and looked at Aoto expressionlessly.
"You...don't you know who I am?"
"Haha? Are you the Emperor or the General Zhengyi?"
Shimizu Gosaku walked slowly to Qingdeng, walking in the "snake-like steps" unique to drunkards.
"I'm just having fun... Don't get in the way! Get out of my way!"
After saying that, Shimizu Gosaku directly punched Qingden in the face with a fist as big as a baby's head!
"Ahhhhhhh——!" Otsuki Minoru screamed subconsciously.
She was quite aware of the abilities of "Dumbhead"... With his poor skills, facing Gosaku Shimizu, who had obviously practiced hard kung fu, he would be knocked down with just one punch.
But the next scene that appeared before her eyes shocked her jaw.
Qingden glanced at Gosaku Shimizu's fist with an expressionless expression, and then quickly turned to the side, dodging the punch from Gosaku Shimizu with a very relaxed and casual movement.
Immediately afterwards, Qingto stretched out his hands, grabbed two of Shimizu Gosaku's body joints with both hands, and used his grappling skills to subdue Shimizu Gosaku to the ground.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"
Shimizu Gosaku, who was in pain from his joints being twisted, let out a scream like a slaughtered pig.
"What are you doing?! Why don't you come and help me quickly?"
Hearing Qingshui Go's roar, his men howled with great momentum as if they were waking up from a dream, while attacking Qingdeng from all directions.
Like Shimizu Gosaku, they were both very drunk, and because they had just fought with Tsuneji and the others, these people were in a state where their energy and blood were rising, and they were all a little confused at the moment.
After hearing their master's shrill orders, they rushed over to protect him in a daze without thinking.
"Do you really not know who I am..."
After sighing in a low voice with a volume that only he could hear clearly, Aoto let go of Gosaku Shimizu who was pinned under him, and faced the four Gosaku Shimizu's men who were rushing towards him.
The positions of these four people are quite particular.
Not only did they surround Qingdeng from different directions, but their movements would not be affected because they were standing too close to each other... At a glance, it was obvious that he was someone who often fights in groups.
Faced with the siege of these people, Qingdeng remained calm and unhurried.
He didn't dodge or dodge, he just spread his legs and got into a fighting stance!
Soon enough, the two men standing on Qingdeng's left and right sides had already launched an offensive against Qingdeng.
The one on the left kicked, and the one on the right punched.
Two attacks were coming at the same time... Many onlookers only thought that Qingdeng was going to be worse.
But the next moment, a scene that only seemed incredible to the onlookers happened.
I saw Qingdeng raising his hands at the same time and performing two completely different movements - his left palm turned into a knife and chopped off the leg of the person on the left, and he raised his right arm to block the punch of the person on the right.
The two hands are doing completely different things, but there is no sense of jerkiness or blockage, and the movements are smooth and smooth.
This is the new ability brought to Qingdeng by the newly acquired talent: "Left and Right Fighting".
The next wave of offensive was easily resolved, and Qingdeng turned from defense to offense!
The skills of this group of people are only limited to bullying ordinary people.
Fighting with Qingdeng...the positions of prey and hunter suddenly reversed.
call!
Qingdeng's left fist made a burst of wind and struck the person who had just raised his leg to kick him.
At the same time, Qingden raised his right elbow and pushed it against the other guy.
Attacking with his left and right hands at the same time, he knocked down two people in one breath in just a split second.
The next moment, Qingdeng turned around and pounced on the remaining two people like a hungry tiger hunting prey.
Grappling with the left hand and boxing with the right hand.
Before the two of them realized what had happened, they just felt like the world was spinning - their eyes were suddenly able to look directly at the sky, and their backs ached badly from the close contact with the ground.
Two more people were knocked down.
In less than a few seconds, the guys who had been violently violent towards Otsuki Minoru and others all fell to the ground and groaned...
Otsuki Minoru, Tsuneji... They opened their mouths wide and looked dull.
Especially Otsuki Minoru, her expression is the most exciting at this moment.
Her beautiful eyes were wide and round...it seemed as if they were about to fall out of their sockets.
Her eyes widened, as if they were out of focus, staring blankly at Qingdeng...
