Rakshasa was very eloquent, eloquent, witty, and rich in rhetoric. He must have used this rhetoric frequently to win over others.
At the same time that Rakshasa finished speaking, the expressions on the faces of Zonazi and Souji all became strange.
Immediately afterwards, they unconsciously squinted at Qingdeng's expression.
Both the chief executive and Zuo Nazi knew very well that no matter whether he was a rich prince or a prince, his appeal to this man was very limited.
After all, he is not the kind of person who is greedy for money, power, and vanity.
But "groups of wives and concubines" means...
It’s not that Zuo Nazi and the General Secretary didn’t trust Qingdeng.
It's just that his performances so far... it's hard not to make them feel guilty.
It's a coincidence... When the two women's eyes were focused on Qingdeng's face, they happened to catch the sharp sword eyebrows shrugging upward...
When the two girls saw this, they couldn't help but be stunned.
——Jijun, you...
Just when Zuo Nazi and Souji thought that the lustful Qingteng was being persuaded by the other party, they keenly noticed that there was a hint of impatience between Qingdeng's eyebrows.
"...What you said is really interesting."
Qingdeng said in a precise tone, word for word:
"'Overthrow the Tokugawa family'? 'Overthrow the Edo shogunate'? What he said is so unbelievably passionate."
"It's just that I don't understand something."
"You seem to call those red and purple, disgusting-looking pills 'phantom deposits'."
"Since you have great ambitions to clarify Uuchi, why do you want to sell such dangerous drugs to the people? Is it possible that you plan to use this bad medicine to overthrow the Edo shogunate?"
Although Qingdeng's tone was calm, his words were full of provocation.
Faced with Qingdeng's ridicule, Rakshasa smiled slightly.
"Of course it is impossible to defeat the Edo shogunate with mere medicine. However, it can greatly weaken the power and influence of the shogunate."
"It's not convenient for me to tell you the specific details."
"In short, spreading the illusion to the market is an important part of our downfall."
Qingden nodded slightly.
"I see, I finally understand."
"In short - you plan to 'wear out the enemy and win'."
"Kanto is the center of rule of the Edo shogunate. If Kanto is destroyed, the shogunate will be destroyed."
"Spread this medicine in Kanto, causing great harm to the people of Kanto and shaking the foundation of the shogunate's rule. When the shogunate is too busy trying to quell the people's complaints, you will take advantage of the situation. Isn't that what it is?"
At this time, Rakshasa, who felt strong hostility from Qingdeng's body, gradually turned cold.
"...You can understand it that way."
"Haha, after doing this for a long time, you are indeed terrorists who are worried about the world being in chaos."
Of course Rakshasa didn't understand the modern political term "terrorist", but he could also tell that it was not a good word.
"To actually say that we are scary...isn't that too harsh?"
"Those who achieve great things do not practice small benevolence and small righteousness."
"I admit that spreading poison that can easily destroy people's minds is not a noble strategy."
"But from ancient times to the present, from east to west, which overlord who created a great foundation has not had blood on his hands?"
"Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty was like this, Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty was like this, Yoritomo of Kamakura was like this, and Tokugawa Ieyasu of Edo was like this."
"To be honest, Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Edo shogunate, used more cruel methods to make a fortune than we do."
"Not to mention the numerous killings. As a subject of the Toyotomi clan, he not only betrayed his master, but also brutally killed his lord's entire family, severing the bloodline of the Toyotomi clan."
"The Tokugawa family has always admired the so-called spirit of 'serving the way', but its ancestor was a traitor who betrayed his master."
"The history of the Edo shogunate's fortune is unbearable to read. In terms of low morals, no one can surpass it..."
Before Rakshasa finished speaking, he was interrupted by Qingden in a very rude tone:
"Who the hell is discussing history with you?!"
Qingdeng, who usually doesn't like to talk bad words, is rarely seen "vomiting fragrance" now.
"Shogunate? Tokugawa? What does it have to do with me!"
"I don't care whether the shogunate survives or not."
"I don't care about the downfall of you Lao Shizi either."
"I only care about one thing - the injustice suffered by the poor people who were framed by you...no!"
Rakshasa was stunned for a moment, then sighed and said slowly with regret:
"I see... Do you mind your father's death..."
"I am truly deeply sorry and upset about Tachibana Takayuki's passing."
"I know, I am your father-killing enemy."
"The people who have a blood feud with you are here chattering about 'please join us', which must make you feel very unhappy."
"but……"
Rakshasa's words were interrupted again by Qingden:
"Who the hell told you about my father!"
This time, a puzzled look finally appeared on Rakshasa's face.
"Ju Qingden, what do you mean?"
"Have I made it very clear just now? The injustice suffered by the poor people who were harmed by you!"
At this time, Rakshasa lowered his eyelids and his eyes gradually became sharp.
Even a fool who doesn't know a single Chinese character can hear the different meanings contained in Qingdeng's words, let alone a Rakshasa who is knowledgeable and knowledgeable?
His eyes became colder again, and the corners of his slightly twitching mouth slowly curved into a mocking arc.
"What? Tachibana Aoden, do you want to be the 'Imadaoka' who eliminates violence and upholds justice?"
Ooka means Ooka Echizen.
Ooka Echizen was the most famous town minister in the history of Edo. During his tenure as Edo town minister, he often worked hard for the welfare of the people by criticizing the people.
Because Ooka Echizen's reputation as a virtuous person is deeply rooted in people's hearts, later generations often call good and upright officials "Kon Ooka", which means something like "Bao Qingtian is reincarnated" or "X Qingtian"
"If that's the case, then I'd be confused!"
"'The King of Japan was aggrieved by others because he was harming the country and harming the people' - this sentence is just like 'The Tokugawa family loves and protects the people', it is full of indescribable sense of humor!"
"Because everyone calls you the 'King of Benevolence', you have lost yourself. Do you really think that you are a diamond guarding the world?"
"Ju Qingden, you don't know, right? The titles you have received are not all good ones!"
The tip of Rakshasa's tongue rolled up when he spoke, like a poisonous snake with its triangular head raised, and he was no longer as gentle and gentle as before.
"Besides the Renwang, you also have a 'resounding' name - 'Ren Zhan' Qingden!"
When talking about the phrase "people kill Qingden", Rakshasa specially emphasized his tone.
Whether it was Zuo Nazi or the chief minister, they cast sullen glances at the deliberately sinister Rakshasa in no particular order.
At first glance, the word "人杀" seems quite awe-inspiring, but in fact, it is not a good word.
Any samurai who killed countless people would often be given the title of "human killer".
For example, the famous Ogata Issei.
Those who respect and support Ogata Isei will respectfully call him "Ittosai", "Shura", and "Eternal Sword Master".
People who have a bad impression of Ogata Issei will call him "executioner" and "people kill Issei".
Among them, "people cut off the potential" is the most unpleasant nickname.
The meaning is similar to "The Murderer Ogata Issei".
In short, the emphasis of the name "human killing" is not on the superb martial arts, but on the seriousness of the killing!
"Ju Qingden, how many people have you killed so far?"
"One hundred? Two hundred?"
"Today alone, you killed at least 20 of my subordinates!"
"Behind every life is a family."
"Tachibana Aoden, you killed hundreds of people and destroyed hundreds of families with your knife."
"How do you have the right to accuse us in a condescending manner?"
The volume of Rakshasa gradually increased, like boiling water slowly boiling and then overflowing.
At the end of his words, his gaze pierced Qingdeng like a sharp sword.
Qingdeng looked back at him without any sign of weakness.
"Oh, you don't have to be so excited."
He sneered coldly and calmly.
"Although you have an excited expression of 'I've got a handle on me,' you seem to have made a mistake."
"I never said I would stand against you on a moral basis."
"I have never claimed that I am an upright and upright gentleman."
"I don't dare to falsely claim that I am eliminating harm for the people and doing justice for heaven."
"The reason why I criticize you so loudly is just because--I don't like you."
"To put it politely, I just want to—"
Qingdeng paused for a moment, as if he was deep in thought or brewing emotions.
Suddenly, he took a deep breath, and then said word by word in a sonorous and powerful tone:
"——Kill the evil spirits! That's all!"
At this moment, that strange brilliance that no one noticed pulsed in the depths of Qingdeng's eyes again.
Rakshasa's eyes widened, and the emotions contained in his eyes were difficult to describe with specific words.
Then, this elusive feeling turned into an icy chill.
"It seems... the negotiations have broken down."
"What a shame."
"Ah...what the hell...not only are they the same samurai named Tachibana, the same confrontation, the same look in their eyes, but also the same ending in the end..."
Rakshasa groaned, raised his hand, and scratched his hair irritably.
When he put down the hand that was scratching his hair, he shook his shoulders with a smile and changed into a disdainful tone:
"Are you going to kill evil spirits? Then I have to ask you for advice - how do you plan to kill us?"
"Are you going to kill me directly? Or are you going to collect evidence that we manufacture and sell dangerous drugs, and then hand it over to the shogunate, so that the shogunate can deal with us?"
Speaking of this, he looked up to the sky and laughed as if he couldn't bear it any longer.
"Ha, hahahahaha!"
"Ju Qingden, if you think that we are weak and can be bullied, like a small and weak mob like the rebel group, then you have really made us easy!"
"It has been more than seventy years since the establishment of our predecessor, the Fa Zhu Group!"
"Seventy years of foundation and seventy years of accumulation can't be shaken by a centipede?"
"There are our people everywhere in the three capitals, five kis, seven roads, and sixty-six countries. We can turn black into white with just a few clicks of our fingers."
Santo—the three largest cities in Japan today: Edo, Kyoto, and Osaka.
The Five Territories, Seven Provinces and Sixty-six Countries are administrative divisions that have been passed down to this day since the Nara period.
Goki: 5 regions close to Kyoto, Yamashiro Province, Yamato Province, Kawachi Province, Izumi Province, and Settsu Province.
Seven roads: areas outside Gyeonggi Province, Tokaido, Higashisando, Hokurikudo, Sanyodo, Sanyodo, Nankaido, and Saikaido.
Sixty-six Kingdoms: The sixty-six regions under the jurisdiction of the Five Regions and Seven Daos are collectively called the "Sixty-six Kingdoms".
"The Qingshui clan, whose influence spans the entire Kanto region, is just a subordinate organization of our Punishment Party."
"Eiichi Shimizu, the leader of the Shimizu clan, succeeded in building a huge Yakuza Group in such a short period of time with our funding."
"Everyone in the Qingshui clan has our subordinates."
"With just one order, I can mobilize the entire combat power of the Qingshui clan."
"Don't mention the main force of the Party. I just send out the Qingshui clan, which is enough to make you miserable."
"Even if you take 10,000 steps back, assuming you really succeed in destroying our Huanfu Lake, do you know what this means?"
"As I just said, the spread of the phantom deposit is an extremely important link in our downfall."
"If someone really causes damage to this, no matter who the other party is, we will not let each other go!"
"We will spare no effort to carry out bloody revenge!"
"In other words, no matter whether your struggle succeeds or fails, what awaits you in the end will be a terrifying hell!"
"Ju Qingden, what are you using to fight us? Just your sword?"
The Rakshasa's eyes flashed fiercely, he smiled wildly, and his expression was very ferocious, like a demon with its teeth and claws.
The next breath, a cold aura emanated from his body.
Rakshasa released his "power"!
The "momentum" gathered into one pressed down on Qingdeng's whole body, like a heavy hammer falling from the sky.
This was not a violent blow.
It is a power that is neither light nor heavy, neither high nor low.
It's an annoying feeling that makes people feel confused and overwhelmed.
The astonishing "power" is by no means a bluff intimidation - the two complement each other, forming a strong pressure as if Taishan is falling from the top.
Yes... Rakshasa is right...
Regardless of whether it is the Qingshui clan or the Fa Zhu Party, which is more powerful and powerful than the Qingshui clan, they are all behemoths that dominate one side.
Go against them...
If you fail, you will die.
If he succeeds, he will be resented by the Execution Party. What awaits him after that will be an endless pursuit, either he will die or the opponent will perish.
What's more, even if the phantom deposit is eliminated, what will happen?
Can he get enough benefits from it to make him risk his own life?
It's nothing more than a bit of fame. If Tokugawa Ieyasu and Tenshouin are willing to help, they can be promoted to an official position, improve their family status, and increase their salary.
Compared with the risks, the gains he made were nothing at all!
To risk one's life for something that is of little benefit to oneself... is an extremely irrational and stupid thing no matter how you think about it.
No...that's not right!
Qingdeng thought.
Seeing the miserable people suffering.
Witness the sin of insatiable greed.
I saw a violent demon.
Can I really remain indifferent?
Do I really feel nothing at all?
Do I really intend to let my true thoughts be buried like this?
…
The moment these questions arose, Qingdeng held his head high and looked directly at Rakshasa, his eyes like torches, burning the despicable devil.
"Don't worry about it!"
"I will cut all the darkness with my knife!"
Rakshasa sneered disdainfully:
"If you can do it, just come and try it!"
At this moment, the wind coming from afar pushed away the dark clouds above Qingdeng's head.
The wind blew away the clouds, and the bright starlight poured down, covering the Niou holding a long sword in a gorgeous battle robe.
The dancing stars are like gods and Buddhas in the sky high above the Qiong Tower of Langyuan. They bow their heads and carefully peek into the lower world, as if they are expecting something.
It was also at this moment that Qingdeng felt something inside his body was merging with his spirit.
This is an indescribable feeling.
The blood is surging and the soul is boiling.
"Spirit" and "blood" formed a magma-like vortex in his body.
His mind moved unconsciously——
An overwhelming majestic momentum erupted from his body! The overwhelming force surged towards Rakshasa!
One side is as sharp as a knife.
One side is as majestic as the sea.
Two momentums with completely different styles collided fiercely in mid-air!
This is a direct confrontation between the benevolent king who suppresses evil and evil and the Rakshasa who eats human flesh and blood.
As soon as the "powers" of the two collided, the situation changed!
Thousands of stars in the sky sparkle.
…
…
At this moment, in Kyoto, a certain wagashi shop——
Ogata, who was making dough in the kitchen, suddenly stopped his hands, his whole body seemed to be petrified and motionless.
"Huh? Ayi, what's wrong?"
Seeing that Ogata suddenly stopped moving, Amachi, who was also in the kitchen and was busy making confectionery, cast a doubtful look at her husband.
"...No, it's nothing."
Ogata smiled slightly, then slowly raised his head, looking to the east, thoughtfully.
…
…
at the same time--
some where--
"..."
"Huh? Brother, what's wrong? Why are you looking up into the distance for no reason? You don't even blink your eyes. What is there to see in that direction? There isn't even a beautiful woman, and even if there is a beautiful woman, you are not allowed to look at it!
Just look at me!"
"..."
"Huh? There's something different in the East? What do you mean?"
"..."
"Hey! Don't tell half of the story! Hey! Hey, hey! Don't ignore me! Ouch!"
