Meanwhile, at polling stations in Hanoi, the campaign is equally fierce.
Lonzo Konishi was obviously well prepared. He transferred Governor Konishi back from Tosa and carefully planned the election. Around the election site, the largest podium was Lonzo Konishi’s, which was stuck in several polling places.
In the center, there is a tall wooden board behind the podium, which lists Lonzo Konishi's achievements over the years. How much is the family's property, how much profit does it make every year, how many branches has the family drugstore business opened, and how many cities and towns has it opened?
The total number of patients treated, the proposals that Konishi Lonzo has participated in or initiated in Congress over the years, etc., are all written down in large numbers. There are also many guys on the stage holding tin speakers, speaking towards
The surrounding voters promoted the power of their employer. At the same time, they also chanted Lonzo Konishi's election promise: "Every family has medicine."
Anyone with some discerning ability will be aware of Konishi Lonzo's powerful strength. Around Konishi Lonzo's podium, there are many temporary vendors who give free medicine to those who come to vote, and only ask them to give
Lonzo Konishi casts one vote.
"The victory is guaranteed." President Konishi stood on the high ground in the distance and looked at the sea of people around his podium with satisfaction. "I can't help but win the seat and win the first place for my father."
"There are still a lot of losers who fish in troubled waters." One of President Konishi's followers pointed to the seven or eight candidates surrounding the podium at Konishi's house. Each of them had a sign on their chest with a big sign on it.
Write their names. They bow to every voter who passes by, and at the same time repeat a sentence like a wheel: "I am so-and-so, from a certain village, the elderly in my family believe in Buddhism, my son is filial, my wife is virtuous, No. x on the list
It’s me, I ask my fellow villagers to vote for me.”
"I am so-and-so, from a certain village. The elderly in my family believe in Buddhism, my son is filial, and my wife is virtuous. I am the xth one on the list. Please vote for me, fellow villagers."
"I am so-and-so, from a certain village. The elderly in my family believe in Buddhism, my son is filial, and my wife is virtuous. I am the xth one on the list. Please vote for me, fellow villagers."
…
"Inexplicable canvassing." The entourage next to President Konishi snorted disdainfully, "Is this begging? Now we are electing members, and we are electing important people who govern the country! Do you believe it or not, your mother?
Buddha, what does it matter whether your wife is filial or not? It really is. She keeps wandering around the podium in our house, what a hindrance."
"That's right." The followers around him were complaining to each other, but Governor Konishi was frowning. He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find the original cause of the problem.
"Should our boss tell others where our boss is on the ballot?" A follower suddenly realized the problem, "Many of the farmers who came to vote are illiterate!"
"You're right." President Konishi nodded immediately, waved to his entourage and said, "Tell those people with loudspeakers to call out my father's position on the ballot." After finishing speaking, President Konishi felt that
Feeling a little worried, he decided to go over and supervise in person. However, just as he was walking through the crowded crowd, he was surprised by the voters' comments and voting situation.
"Oh, I'm so annoyed. I have to come to this damn place to vote. It's so far away and so crowded." A farmer with a fat belly complained dissatisfiedly.
"Your Highness is offering a 10% tax exemption. Just go there and sign. Why are you complaining?" Another farmer behind him said with a smile.
"If it weren't for the 10% tax, who would come to vote?" The farmer muttered as he walked to the election table to sign and pledge his name. Then he took the banknotes handed over by the person in charge of Yuqiu's family and put them on the vote.
I put a check mark on the first person, turned around and wanted to leave.
"Alas! This brother, we have to choose at least three people!" Upon seeing this, the official of the Yuqiu family hurriedly stood up and waved, and somehow managed to pull the farmer over. The farmer originally wanted to hit two people in the second and third places.
Gou, but after taking a look at the faces of the Yuqiu family officials, I felt a little embarrassed.
"What number did the two honest-looking farmers say they were in just now?" he asked his companion next to him.
"It seems like one is thirteenth and the other is twenty-sixth." The companion tilted his head and thought for a while, "I'm not sure either."
"Well...Okay." The farmer complained a few times with some dissatisfaction, counted the votes on the ballot, and put a check mark on the 13th and 26th places. At this time, Lonzo Konishi's voice on the podium
Several tin speakers were still shouting propaganda.
"It's so noisy, who is it? Where are the profiteers coming from?" The farmer shook his head in dissatisfaction, as if he wanted to drive the noise away. His companion, on the other hand, simply checked the positions seven, thirteen, and twenty-six.
After finishing the check, he suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a very powerful drug dealer who was promoting it, but he couldn't remember what rank he was in. He only remembered that his name seemed to be Lonzo Konishi. He looked at the ballot and saw the words on it.
He didn't know most of them and didn't bother to ask the officials of Yuqiu's family, so he just threw his vote into the ballot box.

Not long after, in Sakai Town, Tsuda Muneki also temporarily set up a large stage, hired a bunch of guys to help him promote it, and also urgently got a lot of bags of rice, fruits and vegetables and put them next to the stage, so that people who voted for him could take them.
Take a bag.
But Imai Munehisa did even better. He brought over a theater troupe from Sakai Town, set up a stage and put on a play next to the voting point, attracting many workers, businessmen and farmers who were queuing up. Imai Munehisa
He took the opportunity to publicize and ask them to vote for him. Many businessmen followed suit and even set up stalls near the polling place, making it look like a temple fair.
At this moment, Ame Qiupei was also dressed in casual clothes. With Haoko, Asahina Taihei and Hinami, they were among the crowd watching the show and feeling the atmosphere of the election.
"It's so lively, Your Highness, it's like celebrating the New Year." Yegu Suizi took the candied haws of apples she bought from somewhere and tasted the delicacies with a happy face, "It would be great if this election happened every year."
"Come on, then your highness will be exhausted." Yu Qiuping laughed loudly after hearing this, "I didn't expect that a good election can be so fun. If someone can record this, it will probably be included in history textbooks in the future.
I was fooled by a small italic field that appeared like that."
"Sister Hotoko, why don't you draw a picture." Asahina Taihei suddenly suggested, "Maybe in the history textbook, your painting will be used as an illustration above the italic characters Your Highness mentioned."
"Yes! What a good idea!" Yegu Suiko giggled, "But I didn't bring a paintbrush or drawing board. Let's go around and see where we can buy it."
"This is an election after all. Do you think it's a market? You can buy everything." Yu Qiuping rubbed Ye Gusuizi's hair dumbfounded, "If you really want to draw, I'll have someone go back and get it for you right away."
.”
"No, I want to buy it here." Haotani Suiko pouted her lips and started to act petty. Asahina Taihei was also cheering on the side. Yu Qiupei had no choice but to follow them around in the crowd. Unexpectedly,
I actually saw a businessman delivering brushes, drawing boards and paper, and he was also asking for votes.
"None of us have the right to vote, can we buy it from you?" Yegu Suiko frowned and thought for a moment, as if they really couldn't vote, "Please! I really want to draw now!"
"Okay." The businessman nodded with some disappointment, and he casually put down the sign with his name and location that he had held there. Ye Gusuizi looked a little distressed, and quietly paid a little more.
Yu Qiuping saw it and smiled.
At this moment, the crowd suddenly crowded. Immediately afterwards, a figure flashed by, snatched the wallet from Yegu Suizi's waist, and then squeezed towards the other side.
"Ah! Catch the thief!" Haotani Hoko screamed when she saw this. Asahina Taihei and Hinami immediately squeezed in the direction of the thief. However, the crowd was surging and they could not close the gap for a while. The thief was not tall.
Seeing that he was about to lose him, Asahina Taihei was a little annoyed and even wanted to draw his sword, but Yu Qiupei held him down.
"Catch the thief! The one in blue is the thief!" Seeing that he could no longer catch up, Asahina Yasuhira shouted anxiously, but in the noisy environment with tin speakers shouting everywhere, he didn't know how many people could hear him.
.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd in front. Immediately afterwards, several screams of "let me go" were heard. Taihei Asahina and others hurried over there and found a fair-skinned young man in his early 20s.
One hand clamped the thief who stole the money bag, and the other hand handed the money bag back to Ye Gu Suizi. After taking the money bag, Ye Gu Suizi hurriedly thanked, "Thank you so much for your help, this righteous man! I don't know your name!"
"
"My lord, Leon." The young man with an obvious Japanese face said a Western name, "With a little effort, you're welcome, I'll leave this thief to you."
"Why leave it to them? Can't we just beat them and throw them into the sea?" A middle-aged man following the young man laughed boldly and walked towards the young man. At this time, Yu Qiuping also happened to catch up.
He fell in love with Haotani Honoko and Asahina Taihei. The two looked at each other, and Yu Qiupei was stunned, but the man smiled even happier.
"Red leaves."
"Lord?"
Yu Qiuping stared dumbfoundedly at Oda Nobunaga, who was dressed in casual clothes, appearing in the crowd. He thought he was being deceived. After carefully checking for a long time, he finally realized that he was right.
"Why are you here?" Yu Qiuping asked in surprise.
"Aren't we here to see what you are doing with the inappropriate things you did?" Oda Nobunaga's face instantly darkened and he snorted angrily.
"Then why don't we bring any guards or notify me? Isn't this too dangerous?" Yu Qiuping looked around hurriedly, for fear of any hidden dangers.
"Isn't it the same for you? Aren't you just bringing a little boy, a little novice monk and a little girl?" Oda Nobunaga raised his eyebrows and pointed in Yu Qiuping's direction with his toes, "You can't beat me.
Your three guards can't defeat Yu's guards, shouldn't you worry about yourself?"
Only then did Yu Qiuping realize that the young man named Leon was actually Oda Nobunaga's bodyguard, so he asked: "I wonder who this is..."
Leon glanced at Oda Nobunaga, and after receiving the latter's confirmation, he bowed to Yuqiu and said, "I met His Highness Hongye in the Shimogamo clan village."
