"The fastest way to get someone to come to you is to become his enemy."
Succulents and red cactus look at each other.
"Even if you say that...Brother Night Dire, I still don't understand." Succulent scratched his hair in confusion. Every time he felt that he was about to understand what the big boss was thinking, the other party would come up with something again.
Some magical manipulations made him doubt his IQ again. "The "Tori Mima" in the original work is a cold-blooded person. In order to complete the goal of killing his father, even his subordinates who are loyal to him can abandon him without hesitation.
He doesn’t even care about anyone, so how can we become his enemies?”
"Although he doesn't have anyone he values, he does have things he values ​​- as long as we do the opposite of what he wants to do, he will definitely find us."
...
The next day.
After washing the tableware used for breakfast, "Loach" did not rush to work as usual, but brought out a large basin of clothes and sheets from the room...
Luo Jie, who was passing under the porch, stopped and said hello to her: "Loach, don't you have to go to the steam forge today?"
"Loach" put down the wooden basin, smoothed the scattered hair in front of his forehead, and a bright smile appeared on his face: "Mr. Ye, I am on vacation today, and I plan to take this basin of clothes to the river to wash."
"You have to work and take care of such a big home. It's really hard for you, Loach." Luo Jie sighed.
"Loach" shook his head and said indifferently: "I don't think it's very hard. In this world, it's good to be able to survive... Moreover, the family has not been so lively for a long time.
I’m quite happy.”
"Loach is really easy to satisfy." Luo Jie also smiled, "Is there anyone you like now?"
"Hey - hey?" "Loach" was caught off guard by Luo Jie's sudden attack, and two shy red clouds instantly appeared on his cheeks, "Mr. Ye, this question is too... personal."
"I'm just a little curious about which lucky guy would marry such a virtuous girl as "Loach" as his wife."
Luo Jie actually didn't have any other meaning in asking this question. He just wanted to know whether there was any relationship between "Loach" and the protagonist "Ikoma" - don't look at the "Ikoma" and "Unknown" in the original work that gave the audience a lot of information.
It's stuffy, but with the consistent peeing similar to animation, it is very possible for the male protagonist and the female partner to eventually pair up.
Otherwise, it is really impossible to explain the meaning of the character "Loach".
Perhaps because Luo Jie’s senses are very good, “Loach” did not avoid this question, shaking his head slightly shyly: “The peers I know are all colleagues in the factory, but I am so familiar with them that I feel
Just like my older brothers, it's hard to have that kind of feeling like them."
Luo Jie looked like this. No wonder the character "Loach" in the original work had no emotional line. Obviously, the problem lies here.
"Loach, can you lend me your time today?"
Perhaps the previous question gave "Loach" extra room for association. Hearing Luo Jie's words, he blushed again and said at a loss: "Well...Mr. Ye, we have only known each other for half a day. We are dating or something."
It’s really too fast…”
"Well, I just want you to take me around."
"Hey?!"o(*////▽////*)q
A few minutes later.
Walking side by side on the rugged field path, "Loach" pressed his head so hard that he wanted to bury it in his chest. He never dared to look at Luo Jie's face next to him, and his ears felt hot.
"Loach, whose fields do these belong to?"
"Loach" was still in a state of shyness and embarrassment, unable to extricate herself. Luo Jie asked her several times before she woke up. He quickly took a deep breath and said calmly: "This is the land of Mr. Kawasaki. He
He is the largest landowner and grain merchant here, and at least a quarter of the fields in Xianjinyi belong to the Kawasaki family."
Luo Jie recalled the original plot, and seemed to have no impression of the "Kawasaki" family. It was estimated that based on the original development, ten people would have died in Kabane's attack yesterday.
Even if he is lucky enough to survive and lose his house and land, he is just one of the many background supporting actors in "Iron Castle".
"Loach, what's the reputation of this Kawasaki family?"
"Loach" seemed a little embarrassed to say anything. He curled his fingers around the hair hanging on his shoulders, bit his lips and said, "Is Mr. Ye planning to do business with the Kawasaki family? Although I shouldn't interfere with Mr. Ye's decision, but...
..The head of the Kawasaki family is not a good person. He once tried to force me to be his concubine in the tenth house with an IOU that I don’t know whether it was real or fake. Fortunately, Miss Acorus passed by at that time and he didn’t succeed.
.”
"A typical feudal landlord bully..." Luo Jie nodded noncommittally, "Okay, let's go to other places."
...
After returning from the field, "Loach" carried a basin of clothes to the river, and Luo Jie called the succulents into the room.
"Succulent, do you want to do the dirty work?"
The succulent was shocked and lowered his voice: "Brother Night Dire, who are you going to kill? It won't be the city lord "Sifangchuan Jianjiang", right?"
"No, it's just a background character, and the kind that bullies men and dominates women."
After listening to Luo Jie's explanation, Succulent smiled with relief: "Brother Nightmare, you are too cautious. I just don't like killing people indiscriminately, but I don't have any moral fetish... How do you want this rich landlord to die?"
"Of course it's a way of death that clears our suspicions."
...
"Xianjinyi" seems to be very uneasy recently.
I had just managed to escape the "Fuso Castle" filled with Kabana, but one day later, something happened again to the house of "Kawasaki", the largest wealthy family in the city.
According to insiders, it seems that at dinner time that day, the head of the Kawasaki family and several key members suddenly turned into Kabane at the dinner table, biting their children, concubines and many other people. The castle lord's guards came later
After controlling and killing several Kabane, the team forced all the injured to commit suicide by blowing out their hearts with "suicide bags."
Almost all the members of the entire "Kawasaki" family died, with only a few concubines who were not qualified to dine in the main hall and the infant son who was still breastfeeding surviving.
Later, the escort team found a naked female Kabane tied with ropes and hanging from the beam in a warehouse in the backyard, so this unexpected incident eventually led to an accidental infection due to the ulterior evil habits of the rich.
and declared the case closed.
The case was closed, but the aftermath was more troublesome than the case itself.
Concubines and concubines do not have the right to inherit, and all the men in the "Kawasaki" family who have the right to inherit have died. According to the rules, this kind of ownerless property can only be returned to the public treasury.
However, the many shops and prime real estate left by the "Kawasaki" family were so tempting that all the wealthy businessmen in "Xianjinyi" all set their sights on this piece of fat, and various petitions were made.
The desk of the city lord "Sifangchuan Jianjiang" was almost full of letters and intercessory notes.
"Sikagawa Kensho" didn't seem to want to get involved in the struggle between the wealthy families in the city. He simply divided the shops, real estate and fields left by the "Kawasaki" family into several parts by area, and held an auction in the castle tower.
Rich families and businessmen bid for it, and the one with the highest price gets it.
However, what shocked everyone was that the person who finally took the photo of the Kawasaki family's legacy was not any wealthy family or wealthy businessman in the "Xianjin Station", but a Chinese maritime businessman named "Night Dire".
Everyone is curious about what price this little-known young man paid to obtain such a huge fortune. However, since the auction was a secret auction, the only real bidder was the city lord "Sifangchuan Kenjiang".
” Then I found out.
...
"Father!"
"Sifangchuan Iris" walked into the study room with light steps, handed the long bow in his hand to the maid beside him, and sat in front of "Sifangchuan Kenjiang" who was writing at his desk.
"Oh, it's Calamus, is something wrong?" "Sifangchuan Jianjiang" asked without raising his head.
"Sifangchuan Iris" took a deep breath and said with a serious expression: "Father, you have always taught me to be trustworthy, but this is not the way you did this auction of the Kawasaki family's inheritance - I have read all the bidding books, and there is no such thing as
There is no such person as "Night Dire"."
"That's because his bid book was sent directly to me." "Sifangchuan Jianjiang" took out a neatly folded letter from under the paperweight and threw it to "Sifangchuan Changpu" below, "Look, this young man
People are very smart."
"Sifangchuan Changpu" opened the letter curiously, and his expression instantly became strange: ""One hundred taels more than the highest price"? This... can this also be regarded as a bidding document?"
"Sikawa Kenji" put down his pen and shook his head slightly: "This price is just for me to stop the mouths of those powerful people... This young man has long expected that I will sell the Kawasaki family's inheritance to him.
"
Seeing that his daughter still looked confused, "Sifangchuan Jianjiang" smiled, and there was a hint of worry in his doting eyes.
"Perhaps I have protected you too well, but you will still have to face the filth of power one day. Let today's incident be the first lesson I teach you."
"The most important thing for those in power is checks and balances - the overall power of the powerful people in the city is much greater than that of our Sifangchuan family, but I can still firmly hold the position of the city lord of "Xianjinyi" because of the means of checks and balances."
"However, the destruction of the Kawasaki family has broken the original balance of power in the city. I didn't want to conduct this auction, but I was afraid that it would give other powerful people an excuse to join forces against our Sifangchuan family, and this one is called "Night Dire"
Young people just gave me the opportunity to restore the balance of power in the city."
"Sifangchuan Jianjiang" stood up and walked out from behind the desk, put his hand on his daughter's still weak shoulders, and said in a sad tone: "It's a pity that you are not a man... I heard that it was you who created that "nightmare" in the first place.
The one who allowed them to enter the city didn’t expect to take advantage of the situation in just a few days. It’s really awesome! Take the time to walk around with this upstart from "Xianjinyi". I have an intuition that this young man is not as good as he appears.
It seems so simple, if possible..."
"What's wrong, father?" "Sifangchuan Changpu" didn't understand why his father stopped talking in the middle of what he said.
"Nothing." "Sifangchuan Jianjiang" smiled self-deprecatingly and reached out to stroke his daughter's brocade-like black hair, "It's still too early to say this now. Let's see how far that young man can go.
