I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Remember in a second【】

"...So that's how it is."

After Hasegawa murmured softly, he walked slowly towards one of the futons in the casino.

"The murderer began by kneeling on this futon."

Hasegawa knelt and sat on a futon that still had an indentation from someone sitting on it not long ago.

"During gambling, I found out that the pot vibrated out the tricks, and the way the pot vibrated out the tricks should be to secretly replace the 3 dice in the pot with other 3 dice, so as to manipulate the game."

"After the murderer discovered that Hu Zhen was cheating, he cut the barnacle in half with a single knife, exposing Hu Zhen's trick."

Hasegawa, who was kneeling on the futon, while talking, drew his sword and slashed at the air in front of him from the bottom, and then retracted the sheath in an extremely smooth manner.

"In my opinion, the murderer cut the barnacle in half in mid-air and injured Hu Zhen's right little finger before Hu Zhen could pin it to the ground."

"The murderer exposed Hu Zhen's tricks, which is tantamount to ruining the job of this casino. Naturally, the guards here are extremely dissatisfied."

"So the four guards here surrounded the murderer sitting on the futon from four directions. They planned to teach the murderer a lesson."

"But all of them were killed by the murderer."

"The murderer first drew his sword and slashed to kill the enemy on his left."

With a neat technique, Hasegawa slashed at the air on his left.

"Then it's a horizontal cut."

Hasegawa slashed the sword drawn from its sheath by using the drawn sword slash in front of him.

"Then it's a diagonal chop."

Hasegawa adjusted the blade and slashed towards the air on his right.

"Finally teasing."

Hasegawa turned his body and swung his knife towards the air behind him from bottom to bottom.

"With 4 sharp knives, all 4 guards were beheaded."

"The reason why the pot vibrator and the middle basin were also killed was to avoid keeping alive.

And leaked the murderer's appearance. "

While talking, Hasegawa retracted the scabbard.

"It's just that there is always one thing in every secret... The murderer must have not expected it—someone here recognizes the appearance of the wound after being hit by his signature stunt."

Hasegawa turned his eyes and looked at the body of the only guard who was killed by the sword drawing technique.

"Imai, we are lucky. We found the guy's clue so quickly."

...

...

Hasegawa led Imai and other subordinates out of the casino.

As soon as he came out of the casino, Sano greeted him immediately.

However - before Sano had time to spit out his flattery, Hasegawa took the first step and said:

"Master Sano, in Guifan's village, there is such a big and conspicuous gambling hall."

Hasegawa pouted at the gambling house he had just walked out of.

"If I remember correctly - the shogunate should strictly prohibit gambling."

"If I'm right—this casino should be owned by 'Yakuza'. Right?"

"Why didn't your clan ban it and bring to justice all the 'Yakuza' who opened this gambling hall?"

Hasegawa's words made the smile on Sano's face froze immediately.

At the same time, cold sweat broke out from Sano's forehead.

"Uh... this... this gambling hall is indeed opened by our local 'Yakuza' forces..."

"As for...why not ban it...the main reason is...because...my Fan usually has to deal with a lot of affairs...that...so..."

Just as Sano faltered and squeezed the words out of his belly little by little, Hasegawa suddenly laughed a few times, and then patted Sano on the shoulder.

"Master Sano, I was just joking and scaring you just now."

"The world is difficult now, and the feudal government cooperates with the local 'Yakuza'—this is just a very common thing."

"Don't worry, I will turn a blind eye to this matter."

After hearing what Sano said, Sano felt the big stone in his heart fall to the ground with a "boom".

Quickly wiping the cold sweat off his forehead, he bowed to Hasegawa with a smile, and thanked him repeatedly.

At the same time, I was secretly annoyed in my heart.

I was annoyed that I was patronizing Hasegawa these days, and forgot to ask the Negishi family to temporarily close the shops they opened that would cause trouble if the shogunate noticed them.

While feeling annoyed, I also feel secretly grateful.

Fortunately, Hasegawa is also the kind of "smart" and "knowledgeable" official.

"Master Sano, I'm going to have a meeting with my subordinates under that tree."

Hasegawa pointed to a big tree in the distance beside him.

"Because it is a secret meeting that cannot be known to outsiders, can you please avoid it?"

"Of course." Sano said hastily, "Master Hasegawa, please rest assured that I will never disturb your meeting!"

"Grateful."

After exchanging courtesies with Sano for a few times, Hasegawa led his subordinates and turned around to walk under the big tree.

After turning around and turning his back to Sano, the gentle smile that had spread all over Hasegawa's face quickly disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The whole face changed to the expression he usually put on the most - a deadpan expression with a hint of indifference.

go with the men

After getting under the big tree, Imai who was following Hasegawa's side curled his lips with disdain, and said:

"Unexpectedly, Tatsuno Fan is also like this... reduced to oppressing the common people hand in hand with 'Yakuza'."

When he said this, Imai still didn't forget to sneak a glance at Sano's location, to make sure that what his group of people said so far would not reach Sano's ears.

"This kind of cooperation with the 'Yakuza'...does the lord of the Tatsuno clan know about it?" Another official who followed Hasegawa muttered.

"Maybe you know it, maybe you don't know it." Imai replied, "Some feudal lords are very poor, and they are deceived by their retainers. Under the whitewashing of their retainers, they think that their feudal domain is peaceful. And the local 'Yakuza' cooperation—this may be the idea of ​​the retainers of the Tatsuno clan to collect benefits from the 'Yakuza', and then deceive their lord to prevent the lord from knowing that they are cooperating with the 'Yakuza' in the domain."

"Those samurai who deceived their lord really violated Bushido..." the official just now muttered again.

"Nowadays in this world, there are not many people who will abide by the so-called Bushido." Imai's tone this time was a little mocking, "For many people, the so-called Bushido is just a convenient way to do bad things. It's just a fig leaf..."

"Okay." Hasegawa glanced at Imai and the official, "Whether the lord of the Tatsuno clan knows about this matter - these have nothing to do with us."

"Since it was touched by us, we can't turn a blind eye."
