"We collectively call this neighborhood Samurai Town. The reason for this name is that when the Japanese area was first built, many defeated Japanese people fled to the wasteland and ruins between the big cities and joined the green forests. Rogue warriors plundered everywhere. This was originally a market where they sold their stolen goods."

"Later, these rogue samurai were wiped out by the empire, but the market did not disappear. Instead, it gradually became fixed and gradually formed the Samurai Town today."

The young man with a flat head who had Emperor Zhongxing tattooed on his body was named Ke Yi.

He, who had pointed his gun at Li Jun not long ago, is now following Li Jun step by step. The two of them walked quickly through the maze-like streets of Samurai Town.

"You may not think of this place as shabby, but it is still famous among the ten major cities in the entire Japanese area. The prosperity of Matsumoto Castle today is inseparable from the Samurai Town."

After confirming Li Jun's identity, Ke Yi seemed to have opened a chatterbox and kept chattering all the way.

There are not many shops in the depths of Samurai Town. They are mainly low-rise and cluttered residential buildings.

Many strong men with dragons and phoenixes, and even their faces covered with tattoos, stood in groups under the eaves and on the roadside, with mountains of empty wine bottles at their feet and e-cigarettes for smoking aphrodisiac in the corners of their mouths. He looked at Li Jun with evil eyes.

Bah.

Li Jun lit a paper cigarette, which was considered a luxury product in a place like this, and responded with a domineering look in his eyes.

"Oh shit."

A gang member with a hot temper jumped up, but was grabbed by his companion. He pointed at Ke Yi who was following Li Jun and sneered: "Don't disturb other people's business."

These people spoke loudly, with bursts of sneers, and their joking expressions were like seeing a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered.

Along the way, there were many similar episodes.

As the two people gradually went deeper, a large number of spray-painted graffiti appeared on the walls of the left and right lanes.

Although Li Jun could not understand the Japanese language, and the Jinyiwei equipment he carried did not have the translation function, it did not prevent him from recognizing a Ming Empire dragon flag surrounded by flames on the wall.

"They are all incompetent people venting their anger."

Ke Yi noticed Li Jun's gaze and pointed at the word "明人" with a blood-red cross on the wall.

"After the empire established this place as a criminal area, a large number of local merchants swarmed in like sharks smelling the smell of blood. In the name of helping the Japanese area rebuild after the war, they hired cheap labor to open workshops and factories. , operating various gray industries. Many people just received the relief funds from the Xuanwei Si Yamen in the morning, and spent them all in various dreams in the afternoon. "

"Does the Xuanwei Department not care about this situation?"

As soon as Li Jun said these words, he shook his head and smiled.

This question is nonsense. Without the support of Xuanweisi or Ruxu, it would be impossible to do this kind of thing.

There are even probably many powerful families who have invested in it, making money from the court while drinking the blood of the Japanese people.

"These Japanese people believe that the empire has destroyed their homeland, and blocked their access to the Huangliang Dreamland, cutting off their possibility of breaking through the lock-up and promotion. They even regard the Japanese areas as the lowest level of genetic breeding ground, and treat them as meat for breeding. Pigs eat meat and drink blood.”

"So for a period of time, the resistance in the Japanese area was unprecedentedly high. Both the followers and ordinary people had deep resentment towards the empire."

Ke Yi snorted coldly and said with a look of disdain: "These Japanese people take themselves too seriously as human beings. In fact, Confucian scholars don't like this place at all. Even the wealthy people who come here to do business are all in the empire." The kind that won’t go down.”

"Later, as the New Donglin Party promulgated the enlightenment policy, they withdrew the Japanese garrison and a large number of Ming people, and gave the Japanese people enough space to survive and develop. The four most famous companies in the Japanese area are also located here. Rising in the process.”

"As a result, not only did their lives not get better, but they got worse and worse. They turned around and started blaming the empire for ignoring their lives and lives. Attacking his mother, no matter how shameless, these Japanese pirates are more powerful."

Li Jun looked at Ke Yi, who was full of indignation, with interest, and asked: "From what you said, do you think you are also a wise man?"

"Of course, the villain's ancestral home is in Chaozhou Prefecture, Guangdong."

Ke Yi raised his head and continued: "Don't forget that this is called Samurai Town. Almost all the profitable businesses are controlled by us Ming people. The Japanese people only have to run errands and work hard."

"Then when did you come here?"

Before Li Jun finished speaking, a rapid buzzing sound suddenly came from Ke Yi's arms. He bowed to Li Jun and apologized, then quickly walked aside.

"Hey, I'm busy right now. If you have anything to say, say it quickly, and if you have any farts, hurry up!"

"You are asking about the batch of second-hand prosthetic eyes, right? I have already asked people outside the city. They are still short of some of the goods in hand. They are rushing to purchase the goods and they will be delivered in three days at the latest."

Ke Yi put his hands on his waist, straightened his back, and cursed at the wall in front of him.

"What is overdue? If you are impatient to wait, I also have goods from regular channels. The price is not expensive, it will only be doubled. Do you want it?"

"If you think it's too expensive, don't complain about it. Nowadays, yamen all over the country are implementing new policies. The intensity of suppressing bandits is getting stronger and stronger, and it's getting more and more difficult for others to dig it out. You should also understand this!"

"Okay, don't talk nonsense here. When they get the goods together, I will naturally contact you."

Ke Yi waved his hand fiercely at the air in front of him, then turned around and bowed to Li Jun and said: "I'm sorry, Master Yan, there are some small things that need to be dealt with."

Li Jun joked: "It doesn't matter, after all, you have to make money to support yourself. The little money we gave is not enough to find a native kiln sister, right?"

"This cannot be confused. It is my honor to work for you, Master Yan."

Ke Yi smiled at me, "You just asked me when I came here. This must have been more than twenty years ago."

"More than twenty years?"

Li Jun stopped suddenly and looked at Ke Yi with a surprised look on his face.

"The villain is actually over fifty years old, and this face is all made."

Ke Yitan smiled and said: "Ordinary people like me who are not very good at genetics will never be promoted to a higher rank in their lifetime, so this is the only way to experience the so-called 'immortality and eternal youth'."

Li Jun nodded and said with a smile, "Go on."

"At that time, the Peiyi cross-sea train in the Japanese area had not yet been built, and the court did not allow a small character like me with no background to enter the Japanese area without permission. In desperation, I bribed an old soldier who went home to visit relatives. He spent two days and two nights under the boat returning to camp before he successfully smuggled ashore. If I hadn't been lucky enough to become an armorer at that time, I would have been buried at the bottom of the sea."

Ke Yi turned around and turned into a deep alley again, talking non-stop.

"When I first arrived at Matsumoto Castle, it was August or September. The air was so humid that it was as if you could squeeze water out of your hands. If you moved even a little bit, you would get soaked to the skin."

"At that time, there were no neon lights at night, and there were no projections of gods and Buddhas all over the sky today. The defeated Japanese people were like wild ghosts, their green eyes staring back at the ruins. As long as you showed any weakness, they would pounce on you. I’ll stab you once and then I’ll strip you clean.”

"Later on, I got into the business of recycling and selling prosthetic limbs, which is considered a pillar industry in Samurai Town."

While talking, Ke Yi took out a handful of flakes of different colors and textures from his sleeve and displayed them in front of Li Jun with an attentive look.

"This is alloy, this is plastic, this is ceramic. I can currently produce prostheses made of these materials. Although they are not of high quality, they are of high quality and low price."

Li Jun joked: "Listening to the communication you just sent, I'm afraid these things are not all produced, right?"

"It's just that the source of goods is different." Ke Yi looked magnanimous, without any qualms.

Li Jun nodded, without comment on Ke Yi's approach, and asked instead: "Then how did you get in touch with Inushan City? The distance between the two big cities is not close."

"Speaking of which, the reasons are quite complicated."

Ke Yi led Li Jun to turn again. What appeared in front of him was a dead end alley, with a closed iron door at the end.

"Then pick the key ones."

"The villain and Mr. Tatsu, the Ghost King of Inuyama Castle, are actually from the same hometown."

"You still have such a relationship with Lao Gui?"

Li Jun blinked, pondered for a moment and then suddenly stopped and looked sideways at Ke Yi: "The things I have to do this time are quite dangerous. If you are not willing to take risks, I can think of other ways."

Ke Yi frowned: "If you say that, you are looking down on me."

"Don't get me wrong," Li Jun waved his hand: "I'm afraid that the old ghost will cause trouble for me in the future."

The young man with a flat head smiled and said, "Although I, Ke Yi, am not a big shot on the stage, the words "Knowing kindness and repaying kindness" are not classified in order. If Lord Ghost Wangda hadn't helped me a lot back then, I would have been a long time ago. He was killed by the hidden guns of the Japanese pirates."

Li Jun moved his lips, but in the end he said nothing else and just nodded heavily.

At this moment, the two of them had walked to the iron door. The person guarding the door glanced at Li Jun cautiously, then looked at Ke Yi and asked: "Boss Ke, you are a rare visitor, why are you interested in coming here today? "

"I have a business to discuss with your boss Liang."

The gatekeeper hesitated for a moment after hearing this, but in the end he did not stop him. He stretched out his hand to hold the door handle, and with a slight clicking sound of mechanical operation, a car ladder no more than one foot wide was revealed behind the door.

The car ladder went all the way down, and the speed of settlement was not very fast.

"How did this Boss Liang you speak of come to know so much about the people in Samurai Town?"

Facing Li Jun's question, Ke Yi gave a brief introduction.

"This Liang Diao was originally a general of the empire. He successively fought in Siam, Annan, Goguryeo and other criminal areas, made great achievements in battle, and finally led troops to station in Matsumoto City. In the first year of Jiaqi, something happened in the court In the 'Dachaobian' case, the New Donglin Party successfully implemented the policy of indoctrination in criminal areas and ordered the withdrawal of all garrison troops."

"Liang Diao knows very well that the royal family has been completely ignored by the New Donglin Party and has become a puppet. As long as he returns to the mainland of the empire, the military power in his hands will definitely be divided up by the Confucian clan, and even he himself may not be able to do so. You can only become someone else’s domestic slave.”

"So Liang Diao simply became a deserter with a group of close confidants. With his outstanding strength and ruthless character, he became the top tyrant in Samurai Town within ten years."

Li Jun looked at Ke Yi's back in front of him, and his lips moved silently a few times.

The elevator quickly arrived and stopped. As the elevator door opened, Li Jun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

In front of me is an extremely lively underground casino. The overall height is three feet high, and the air circulation is unimpeded. There is no feeling of suffocation.

The five long gaming tables were filled with guests. The floor was covered with red carpets, and there were women wearing light white skirts passing between them carrying drinks.

The overall level of luxury is no less than that of large casinos on the ground.

"I'll be responsible for talking to him later. This is Liang Diao's lair. Don't be impulsive."

Ke Yi took the lead, walking steadily and without squinting all the way, heading straight for a huge carved wooden screen deep in the casino.

Behind the screen stood an Eight Immortals table, with bone-white mahjong tiles scattered on the table.

A man with dark skin, flat lips, a body wrapped in vermilion and a Luan belt around his waist sat at the table, his eyes lowered, and he was stroking a mahjong tile in his hand.

It is Liang Diao.

"Boss Liang, long time no see. How are you?"

Ke Yi clasped his hands and walked up quickly with a bright smile on his face.

"No wonder I keep touching this fortune card today. It turns out that Boss Ke is here."

Snapped.

Liang Diao put the mahjong cover on the table with his backhand, and the blood-red word "Fa" was particularly eye-catching.

"Please take a seat."

"It's definitely not a big deal, but there's still no problem in making a small fortune."

Ke Yi pulled open the armchair opposite Liang Diao and just sat down when he heard Liang Diao ask: "I wonder where the small fortune that Boss Ke mentioned comes from?"

"Boss Liang is really quick to talk."

Ke Yi complimented the other party, "For others, this matter is as difficult as the sky, but for you, Boss Liang, it is just sending money to your door. I am here this time to ask about someone, Boss Liang."

"Don't worry about talking about things now,"

Ke Yi's words were interrupted by Liang Diao raising his hand. He raised his eyes and looked at Li Jun who was standing behind Ke Yi.

"This friend is a bit unfamiliar. I haven't seen him in Samurai Town before. Boss Ke, why don't you introduce me?"

Ke Yi smiled and said: "This is just a new subordinate of mine. I will bring him out to see the market this time. There is nothing to introduce."

"The person who can be cultivated by you, Boss Ke, must be a good talent and a beautiful jade, and it is not certain that he will become a dragon or a phoenix in the future."

Liang Diao said in a tough tone: "So it's best to introduce him."

Ke Yi frowned, anger welling up in his eyes, "Boss Liang, what do you mean? I'm here to do business with you, not for you to interrogate."

"ha."

Liang Diao sneered, "Since we are doing business, why haven't I heard a word of truth from your mouth since you sat down?"

"you"

Ke Yi's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly felt his shoulders sink.

Li Jun shook his head at Ke Yi, motioned for him to stand up, and sat down himself.

"Boss Liang, right? We know each other?"

"You don't know me, but I know you."

Li Jun rubbed a mahjong tile with his thumb, and there was no joy in his words. "Oh? Then you know a lot of people."

"I have no choice. If I want to make a living in the Japanese area, I can't do it without knowing you."

Liang Diao's eyes were bright and fierce, "You think so, Lord Yan."
