Chapter 235
I have known this long ago that the only sister of the head of the Yagyu family married Ito Renshumaru. However, she has been dead for many years and it was only the first time I heard her name.
"Yes, Rie is my only sister and your grandma."
I didn't respond to his words. To be honest, I still don't want to accept any identity on the Ito family side. Otherwise, I wouldn't have done so resolutely at that time.
Mr. Yanagi naturally saw what I was thinking and stopped talking about it. Instead, he continued the topic just now: "Ri'e was not willing to marry the Ito family."
In my somewhat surprised look, Mr. Yanao slowly spoke about his past.
"Ri'e is my half-sister. When she was just taken back to Yagyu's house, I also rejected her. Although my mother had passed away for a long time, I could not accept another woman as my mother." Old Master Yagyu's face smiled, as if he was recalling the time back then.
"But later, I slowly accepted them. When I was in college, I once took Li Hui, who was still in middle school, to play, but I didn't expect..." Old Master Yanao's words gradually felt a little bitter.
He didn't say the following words, but I can also guess that what happened that night was not a good thing, and it was probably related to Rie's later marriage to Ito Renshumaru.
"At that time, Ito Renshumaru was pursuing Rie. After that happened, Ito Renshumaru still refused to give up Rie. At that time, we were all very moved. Although the Ito family was just an ordinary family running a small business at that time. However, for the reputation of Rie and the face of the Yagyu family, my father finally agreed to marry Rie to Ito Renshumaru."
"But!" At the beginning of this sound, Old Master Yanyu's voice was filled with anger. Although his expression did not change much, the palm on his knees couldn't help but hold it: "But after Rie married into the Ito family, he did not let Rie be happy as he once said. Instead, after using the power of the Yagyu family to grow the Ito family, he gradually began to neglect Rie. And, later I also found that what happened that night was not as simple as I thought..."
"Of course, these are all things we only found out later..." Old Master Yanagi smiled bitterly: "If I hadn't read it wrongly, Rie wouldn't have ended up..."
"What about it later?" Although Mr. Yanagi seemed to feel uncomfortable, I still couldn't help asking about the follow-up.
Mr. Yanagi adjusted his mood and continued, "Later, Rie's health became worse and worse. When I finally saw her, I kept asking her how she had lived in the Ito family for the years. But she refused to say that she just asked me to take care of her three children."
I sneered in my heart, and I asked why Ito Masahiro is so cold-hearted. It turns out that the Ito family's club is not a good thing. What Mr. Yanagi wanted to ask back then was probably because Rie was killed by their Ito family?
However, Rie didn't say anything, and they had no evidence, so they could not casually put the charges on the Ito family. In the end, suspicion could only be doubt.
"At that time, I had already inherited the Yagyu family, and Ito Rensemaru was also the head of the Ito family. After all, the Ito family still relied on our Yagyu family to support him. He already knew that I had suspicious of him, so after Rie's death, he kept showing kindness to the Yagyu family and never married again. But..."
"But you no longer trust him, right?" I said his next words.
Mr. Yanagi smiled and nodded: "Since you see clearly what kind of person he is, there is naturally no need to trust him anymore. But I will still help the Ito family over the years..."
"Because you still feel guilty about your sister?"
After I told you, Mr. Yanagi could only smile bitterly: "You are really smart. If Rie is still alive, you will definitely like you very much. You are not like the Ito family at all. Not like you at all!"
I laughed in my heart, of course I wouldn't be like the Ito family at all. Not to mention that I was no longer the same as the Ito Chu, it only Masahiro Ito harmed my mother for the rest of her life, and my mother's teachings to me would never allow me to have traces of the Ito family.
If it is just like the first meeting, you can be with you, and you will not be in vain.
My mother, like me, really wanted to break this evil relationship. So I tolerated it before, and finally returned my bloodline with Mie Ito, so that I could break it clean and have a clear conscience, so that I could not find any talk.
Mr. Yanagi sighed: "Before Rie left, please ask me to take good care of her children. But since Masahiro married Kumiko and inherited the famous sword, everything has begun to change."
With famous swords, you can participate in the famous swords conference and contact more and more powerful forces. The Ito family was originally ambitious, but with this opportunity, why would he be willing to join the Yagyu family?
It is inevitable that the Ito family will change. If there is no famous sword, with the Ito family's ambition, they will definitely not be willing to develop under the hands of the Yagyu family.
Wasn't it because of this reason Ito Masahiro came to approach my mother?
With his eyes slightly closed, I sighed softly: "Even if the Ito family's ambition is not willing to live under someone else's roof."
Mr. Yanagi looked at me deeply and said, "You are right, but now is the time for the Ito family to take action."
Seeing that I was puzzled, Mr. Yanagi continued: "The Ito family has a famous sword. Although we don't have to rely on our Yamaguchi family for everything, we have to take care of the Yamaguchi family."
I frowned and said, "With Masahiro Ito's character, he will definitely do his best for his own benefit. He can do anything."
Mr. Yanagi looked at me in surprise: "Do you know Masahiro Ito very well?"
I shook my head: "I don't know him, but I've been in trouble."
As for Masahiro Ito, I really only think that he is a stranger. After all, we have never met him a few times. But this does not prevent me from having a very bad impression of him. I don’t want to have any connection with someone who can use calculating for his own interests and even his relatives.
Mr. Yanagi looked dark and sighed: "You are right. This time, the Ito family change was planned by Ito Masahiro. Ito was not just about seizing power. His ambition was much greater than we imagined."
I thought about it, and said in surprise: "Does he want to swallow Yamaguchi Group?"
Mr. Yanagi glared at the girl in front of him, and he could guess the child so quickly.
Just a moment of surprise, Mr. Yanagi quickly returned to his original expression: "Yes, Masahiro Ito really wanted to swallow Yamaguchi. The Yamaguchi family now has no male member, and the only grandson is a girl. Although the current famous sword is nominally for Masahiro Ito to inherit it, it is Kumiko's dowry. The Yamaguchi family is eyeing each other for a day, and Masahiro Ito cannot speak out clearly for a day."
Haha, it’s the right thing to say. These four words seem useless, but if these four words cover the body, nothing can be done. If the name is not right, it will be like a mountain of Tai, and you will never be able to act freely.
"What happened to the Ito family's family change this time?" I asked.
Mr. Yanagi said in a deep voice: "Some time ago, for some reason, Yamamori, near the territory of the Makura family in the northwest direction, began to riot. There were rumors that many monsters were present. Ito Masahiro used this as an excuse to say that Mie and Kumiko were possessed by monsters, so they were put under house arrest. When Ito Renshumaru learned about it, he scolded him, but he did not expect that he took the opportunity to seize power and put Ito Renshumaru under house arrest."
Mr. Yanagi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Ito Masahiro did the whole thing without any leakage. He came to the famous sword conference on the grounds that Ito Renshoumaru was seriously ill. Although I noticed that something was wrong, it was only after the famous sword conference that I figured out the whole thing. Now, it is completely Masahiro Ito in power, and things have been made up. The Ito family has really changed the world completely."
I listened to Mr. Yanagi's words with a calm face. Ito Masahiro has endured for so many years and has launched a family change on the eve of this famous swords conference. It is obviously a long time to plan. Over the years, the Yamaguchi family has gradually become unstable because they have never had the heirs. After all, the Yamaguchi group's boss is old and no longer as energetic as a young man. Now he can still sit firmly on the position of the big boss, which is entirely due to his past reputation.
However, because Yamaguchi Group has no heirs, the group has already had a lot of factions and is in chaos. It is precisely because Yamaguchi Group has no owner to seize power.
It is the same for anyone who is involved in the underworld. If you have the opportunity, anyone will want to be the boss of the world, and will not be willing to be the minion who obeys the order.
Licking blood on the knife is nothing more than making a name for a thousand people, and one call is a hundred responses.
If you want to swallow the Yamaguchi family, this situation is the best time. After this famous sword meeting, even if Ito Renshumaru comes out to take power again, he will no longer have the same role as before.
Ito Masahiro signed the contract for the famous sword conference, so naturally it is Masahiro Ito who can count on its words. At this point, Masahiro Ito is already the complete head of the Ito family.
The house arrest of Ito Kumiko and Ito Miei also left the Yamaguchi family with no way out. This move will obviously cause the power-grabbing gangs in the group that have been ready to move to the table. For those people, although the direct relatives of Ito Kumiko and Ito Miei, two Yamaguchi bosses, are both women, as long as the big boss still wants them to inherit the Yamaguchi family, that is their biggest obstacle.
I think if Ito Masahiro killed both of them, those who wanted to be Yamaguchi's boss would probably celebrate happily for several days.
