Seeing this scene, Fang Linyan secretly thought that the Japanese are indeed a complex nation and will only succumb to power. As long as you show your strength, they will immediately behave like a pug.
However, Fang Lin was stunned by the things that Hattori Kazumasu took out. Apart from a rope hook and two smoke bombs, there was nothing interesting about them.
The rope hook is a purely auxiliary prop that can be used 10 times. After using it, you can specify the location, then throw the rope hook, and then it will pull people over. It is really good for flying over walls and walls.
Not to mention smoke bombs, but they also have additional special effects (confusion): ordinary soldiers and people will smell a special smell once they are exposed to the smoke, and then they will feel strong dizziness and run around in dizziness.
Immediately afterwards, Fang Linyan's eyes rested on a few crumpled Japanese coins. He counted them carefully and almost laughed out loud. Such a ninja, to be honest, is not bad at strength, but he only has three coins in total.
How many yen?
Turns out he is an out-and-out poor guy!!
But it seems that this guy is quite principled. Don't worry about Hattori Ichimasu being beaten to the ground by Fang Linyan.
However, in order to plot against him, Fang Linyan used the power of legendary weapons + artifacts. How many people can withstand such a luxurious combination of punches?
Fang Linyan said to Hattori Kazuki:
"I ask myself that I have no grudge against you, so you should be just a knife being used. So who asked you to kill me?"
Hattori Kazumasu sighed and said:
"I really don't know about this. I came to Nagasaki yesterday to purchase some items, and then I had a drink in the dark room where ninjas usually gather. The bartender told me about this task."
"Because this task was relatively simple, it just required assassinating one person, and he was a foreigner, and the reward was a decent figure of 100 yen, so I accepted the order."
After Fang Linyan heard the "astonishing" figure of 100 yen, he suddenly felt an indescribable complex emotion in his heart:
"Damn it, am I only worth 100 yen?"
Of course, he would never say this sentence, but Hattori Kazuki said:
"so,
Only the bartender knows who entrusted the task?"
Hattori Kazumasu nodded and said:
"Yes!"
Fang Linyan pondered for a long time and said:
"What is the information about my assassination?"
Hattori Kazuki said:
"Very few, because the information was provided using a magic sign. It said that I should arrive here at two fifteen in the afternoon and stay for half an hour. After killing two men, I can successfully collect the bounty.
"
Fang Linyan said in shock:
"Is this okay?"
Hattori Kazuki said:
"Yes, this is called a lottery reward. Most of the time, the information above is reliable. Of course, there are a few times when it is unreliable. It is precisely because of this that half of the reward is chosen in advance.
Bounty.”
Having said this, he said secretly:
"It is precisely because of this that I chose this mission, because the young master has had a fever for three days and has begun to have convulsions and convulsions. If I can't bring the medicine back, I will go against the old master's orders and do something
To tarnish the name of the Niwa family, we went directly to robbery or theft."
In Japan, it is actually very common for several generations of retainers to serve the same family. This habit even continued into later Japanese companies. Employees rarely change jobs. Once they enter a company, they will work for them for life.
Even if you are frustrated or even marginalized, unless the company goes bankrupt.
Of course Fang Linyan would not believe his words easily and said directly:
"Since you only have a few yen left with you, you must have bought all the medicine. Can you give me the medicine?"
Hattori Yiyi took out a large bag of medicine, which exuded a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine. Fang Linyan was a sick man a few years ago, and he often took folk remedies. As the saying goes, a long-term illness makes a good doctor, and he found that the medicinal materials contained Bupleurum and Yinqiao.
, bezoar, etc. are indeed used to reduce fever, so he nodded and said:
"Since you often go to that izakaya, you must be able to release information about the assassination?"
Hattori Kazuki said:
"Of course."
Fang Linyan nodded and said:
"Very well, you do one thing for me and I'll let you go."
Hattori Kazuki said:
"Your Excellency, please speak."
Fang Linyan thought for a while, took out a thick stack of Japanese yen banknotes from his arms, about five or six thousand yuan, and then "swished" wrote down a list:
"Since that izakaya allows you to come and go, it must be from the shogunate. I want you to help me put a reward on killing these people on the list. These are the lackeys of the reformists! If you can do this, the list
For every person who dies, I will give you a reward of 10,000 yen."
In this chaotic era, although the reformers gained power, the assassination of their officials was actually a very common thing.
In 1878, Okubo Toshimichi, who had already held great power and almost had the power of Prime Minister, was assassinated by five samurai led by Shimada Ichiro, who was the head of the government.
In 1869, Yokoi Kokusu and Omura Masujiro were assassinated by remaining samurai from the shogunate.
In 1871, Hirosawa Maomi was assassinated for "returning editions".
Iwakura Tomomi was also assassinated in 1873 for framing Saigo Takamori.
Therefore, Fang Linyan's request was not unacceptable to Hattori Kazuki.
The social environment at that time was like this. To use an analogy with China's national conditions, it was like during the Republic of China, when Puyi and several former Manchu princes hired assassins to assassinate senior officials in Beiyang. Both in terms of logic and motivation, it was
Of course.
Hattori Kazumasu looked at the list that Fang Linyan brought out, and then said seriously:
"Are you sure they are all lackeys of the reformists?"
Fang Linyan said:
"I will give you the opportunity to investigate. If there is no one on the list, then you don't have to do it. But if what I say is true, you must swear on the Niwa family name and you will definitely go all out!"
Hattori Kazuyoshi thought for a while and said:
"good!"
While Hattori Kazuki was thinking, Fang Linyan had already opened the war progress bar and was paying close attention.
For him, the appearance of Hattori opened up new ideas for him, which can be used as a casual chess move. More importantly, the cost of using this guy is very small! After Fang Linyan made a lot of money by declaring the Sino-Japanese War, money changed his mind
The constraints are already very small.
As a result, when Hattori Kazuki nodded, Fang Linyan found that the war progress bar actually increased by 0.03! This is enough to show that in the prediction of space, Hattori Kazumas's position at this time was to lead to the national strength of the entire country of Japan.
Descending!
This shows that Hattori Kazumasushi did not plan to attack Kata Linyan, but was seriously considering the matter.
After all, Fang Linyan's request is not outrageous. To a certain extent, he also hates these reformers. What's more, if each person is killed, he still has 10,000 yuan?
Now that Hattori Kazuki had proven his sincerity, Fang Linyan stepped forward, pulled out the Predatory Fang from his vest, and then thought of something:
"Do you know where Navel Hair Village is?"
Hattori Kazuki said in surprise:
"You want to go to Navel Hair Village?"
Fang Linyan nodded:
"Well, go find someone."
Hattori Kazuki said:
"If it's not necessary, it's better not to go there because it's very dangerous and almost daunting."
Fang Linyan frowned and said:
"Is there some sort of dragon's pond or tiger's den there? The guards are very strong?"
Hattori Kazuki said:
"It's not that you misunderstood. It's just that the people living there are all patients suffering from serious diseases. The original Navel Hair Village was established more than seventy years ago. At that time, the Portuguese brought a terrible disease
, called leprosy.”
"They transmitted the disease to prostitutes, and then it spread rapidly, and it turned into a terrible disaster. The daimyo who ruled Nagasaki at that time even ordered that the sick people be killed and all the bodies burned.
This can be considered as containing it.”
"However, the daimyo's most beloved son also contracted leprosy during the killings. The daimyo was reluctant to do anything to him, so he established a navel hair village in the mountains, and then let him go in to fend for himself and followed him in.
, and eight loyal retainers."
"Every once in a while, the daimyo would send people food and medicinal materials. Six people in Naanmao Village actually survived, but their condition was not cured, but it did not get worse. As a result, two years later, it happened again.
The plague was spreading, so the daimyo sent those patients who were incurable and could survive to Navel Hair Village."
"As the number of patients and deaths in Navel Village increased, a cemetery appeared next to it, and poor people gradually began to bury their dead here. Navel Village became a scary place."
After hearing this, Fang Linyan said:
"So that's it. This kind of place is not dangerous as long as it's well protected. Please show me the way. I'll go in and find someone and come out."
Hattori Kazuki said:
"good."
Under the guidance of Hattori Kazumasushi, Fang Linyan quickly hurried to the side, climbing over a two to three hundred meter high hill on the way, and from the hill he could overlook the entire Nagasaki.
At this time, you can see that there is a gathering place that looks like a small town in a small bay four or five kilometers northwest of Nagasaki. Although Fang Linyan has stayed in Nagasaki for so many days, he has not been there yet.
, the fundamental reason is that this place is in the opposite direction from Nagasaki Military Port.
At this time, you can find from the top of the hill that this small town is very prosperous with people coming and going, and it even feels much richer than several commercial streets in Nagasaki. Fang Linyan said to Hattori:
"What is that place?"
Hattori Kazuki said in surprise:
"That's a Chinese house there? Don't you know?"
Fang Linyan was stunned for a moment, and then he understood. It turned out that the Edo shogunate in Japan implemented a seclusion policy in the 17th century (so Asian countries basically followed the same path to death), and Nagasaki became the only window for communication with the outside world.
At that time, although the Ming and Qing Dynasties in China also required that "nothing can be put into the sea", everyone knew this policy. They were in charge of the subordinates but not the superiors. Maritime trade in the Ming Dynasty was actually very developed. Several big pirates, such as Zheng Zhilong, etc., could even
Competing with maritime powers like Portugal.
Therefore, the Japanese shogunate also knew that these Ming people could not be offended, so they secretly allocated a piece of land for them in Nagasaki and allowed the trading Chinese to live here. The name of this piece of land was Tangren Yashiki.
Fang Linyan looked at the bustling Tang Dynasty House in the distance and narrowed his eyes. The scene in front of him suddenly reminded him of a saying in the Buddhist scriptures:
"All conditioned dharma is like a dream, like dew or like lightning."
At this time, he also sighed temporarily and felt that it was more important to do business. After taking a second look, he continued to go to Navel Village. About two hours later, Fang Linyan arrived here. Hattori Kazumas also felt like returning home at this time.
Fang Linyan bowed slightly and said:
"Your Excellency, my young master is still seriously ill. I must take my leave."
Fang Linyan nodded and said:
"Okay, you can give me a token so that I can contact you in the future."
Hattori Kazumasu nodded, handed Fang Linyan something that looked like a piccolo, and then said:
"As long as you blow this bug tune here at Dejima Pier in Nagasaki, someone will come looking for you soon."
Fang Linyan nodded, and when Hattori Kazumasu turned to leave, he suddenly said:
"One more thing, I am a trustworthy person, and I value trusting people when I employ them, and not trusting people when I doubt them."
"Mr. Hattori, you came to kill me originally, and there is no enmity between us. Even if I kill you in turn, it is reasonable and reasonable, don't you think?"
Hattori Kazumasu nodded and said:
"Yes."
Fang Linyan spread his hands and said:
"But, after listening to what you told me, I feel that your loyalty is very great. Not only did I not kill you, but I also gave you a large sum of money. Do I trust you enough?"
Hattori Kazuki said:
"right."
Fang Linyan then said solemnly:
"Therefore, if you betray my trust and even turn against me after this, then Mr. Hattori, unfortunately, you will have provoked a very powerful enemy for your master! I hope you will do well."
Hattori Kazuki's expression changed again, he bowed deeply to Fang Linyan, and then left directly.
After Hattori Ichimasu left, Fang Linyan summoned Laming.
When he left before, he directly told Laming to stay there for a while and find an opportunity to return to the Kingdom of God automatically, because Fang Linyan's goal had been achieved at that time, and Fukushima, one of the target figures, had already formed an alliance against Dongxiang.
well situation.
That means that the most ideal situation - borrowing a knife to kill has been laid out. Dong Xiangjing's sharp knife has been unsheathed and taken over Fukushima over there. In the end, even if the two sides are stupid, it will be very satisfying. More importantly, Fang Linyan
You can also put all this aside and sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.
The latest news La Ming brought to Fang Linyan was shocking, Fukushima actually died!!
