I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

On the surface, Wisteria House is an ordinary, unpopular two-story izakaya.

After entering the first floor of the wisteria house, Ooman saw that there were very few people drinking in the wisteria house at this time, it can be said that there were very few.

There were only 4 tables with guests in total, and the total number of guests was less than 10.

With few guests, the atmosphere naturally seemed a little deserted.

A middle-aged man leaned over behind the counter, fiddling with the abacus, probably trying to settle accounts.

Ogata and Fumo walked quickly to the counter according to the way Yinxin told them to enter the casino this morning, and whispered to the middle-aged man who was lying behind the counter to settle accounts:

"Ten Thousand Buddhas Dynasty."

As soon as Ogata finished speaking, the middle-aged man's hands fiddled with the abacus stopped immediately.

Then he raised his head, glanced at Ogata and Fuma, and shouted to the backstage of the izakaya:

"Kaiichiro!"

Boom, boom, boom...

As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, the footsteps of the powerful Masao Ogata and the others resounded loudly.

In a blink of an eye, a very strong young man came to Ogata and the others.

"Miichiro." The middle-aged man said to the burly young man in a flat tone, "These two guests want to buy our wine, take them to the wine cellar."

"Yes!" After Koichiro responded loudly, he politely bowed to the two of Ogata, and then made a "please" gesture, "Both of you, please follow me."

Koiichiro led Ogata and Fuma towards the stairs leading to the second floor.

And those guests who were drinking on the first floor didn't look at Ogata and the others the whole time, as if they were used to it.

The second floor of the wisteria house is a series of airtight rooms.

With the stairway as the center, these airtight rooms are arranged in a tight "mouth" shape.

After reaching the second floor, Koiichiro casually opened the door of one of the rooms.

The moment the door was opened, a gust of suffocating heat, sweat, and other strange smells and smells poured out along the opened door, rushing towards Ogata and Fumo .

Behind the door, there are faces immersed in the world of gambling, excited, excited and sad because of gambling.

"Both, please come in." Meiichiro said.

After Ou nodded to Meiichiro, he and Fuma entered the room in front of him one after the other.

After the two of Ogata entered, Meiichiro closed the door for them very intimately.

The world inside the room and the world behind the room... It's like two worlds.

After entering the room, Ogata discovered that the walls of all the rooms on the second floor seemed to have been removed, and all the rooms were connected together, so that a huge casino could be assembled.

There are various gambling games in the casino.

Ogata knew nothing about gambling, so he couldn't understand most of the gambling games. The only gambling game he recognized was "roll the dice and bet on odd or even".

The vibe in the casino is pretty quiet.

The voice that appeared most frequently was the voice of the "staff" asking the gamblers to bet.

From time to time, there were some excited low growls of winning money in the bet, or painful whines of losing money in the bet.

The main reason why the casino is so quiet and everyone tries not to make any noise is to keep a low profile.

As early as hundreds of years ago in the Heian era, the Japanese government severely cracked down on gambling.

In the current Edo period, the Edo shogunate also adopted a strictly guarded attitude towards gambling.

According to the regulations of the Edo shogunate—all samurai who gamble in casinos will have their samurai status removed and become citizens.

Even if it is so harsh on warriors, it is not necessary to say how harsh it is on civilians.

However, things like casinos have been repeatedly banned in modern times when the government has strong control, let alone in ancient times.

Although the Edo shogunate has been cracking down on gambling, casinos are still popping up all over Japan. One day the government closes an old casino, and tomorrow there will be ten new casinos.

In recent years, it has happened to be the best period for the development of casinos.

The "Great Tianming Famine" has just passed 3 years. In the past 3 years, whether it is the shogunate or the vassal states in various places, they have focused their energy on restoring a series of traumas caused by the "Great Tianming Famine", and have no time to take into account the blow to the casinos. Therefore, in recent years, casinos all over Japan can be said to have ushered in a rare period of development.

But although the government has no time to take into account the blow to the casino, you can't be too arrogant.

So there is an unwritten rule: try to keep as quiet as possible when gambling in the casino.

Of course, if you open a casino in an area that is absolutely difficult for the government to control—such as opening a casino in some unshitty countryside, then you don’t need to follow this unspoken rule, and you can make as much noise as you want.

Both Ogata and Fumo saw the portrait of Kaoru Daibutsu from Yin Xinna today - the appearance of Kaoru Daibutsu is quite recognizable.

He is a rather fat man with a fat head and big ears. He has a full three-tiered chin without bowing his head.

Pretending to be picking their favorite gambling game, the two walked around the casino while searching for Kaoru Daibutsu.

However, after walking around - no one with matching features was found.

Ogata and the others had already expected that this would probably happen.

They didn't expect to find Dafo Xun who happened to be gambling here as soon as they entered the casino.

For this situation, Ogata and the others had prepared corresponding countermeasures before entering the casino—that is, to wait.

Wait for a while to see if you can wait until the Buddha comes out.

If Big Buddha Kaoru does not appear for a long time, it means that Big Buddha Kaoru should go to another casino to gamble tonight, and then he can only consider himself unlucky and unlucky.

In the process of waiting, of course, you can't just stand there so stupidly. Doing so is no different from pasting a piece of paper with "I'm suspicious" on your body.

If you want to make yourself look unsuspicious, the best way is naturally to blend in with the gamblers around you and do what a gambler should do.

"Brother." Feng Mo lowered his voice and said to Ogata, "What do you know?"

Ogata shook his head: "The only thing I know how to play is to guess odd or even."

"Coincidentally, me too. I can only play guessing odd and even. There happens to be someone who can play 'guessing odd and even' over there. Let's go there to kill time."

Just a few steps away from Ogata and the others, there is a booth where you can play "guess odd or even", and there are just a few vacancies.

There are booths where you can exchange chips throughout the casino.

The chips of this casino are wooden sticks. There are 3 types of wooden sticks in total - brown wooden sticks representing 100 coins, black wooden sticks representing consistent and yellow wooden sticks representing one tael of gold.

Neither of them had any interest in gambling, and they both decided to participate in gambling just to prevent others from being suspicious of them, so they only exchanged some brown chips of the lowest value.

When the two sat side by side in the empty seats of the "guess odd and even" booth closest to them with the newly exchanged chips, a new game of gambling just started.

Hu Zhen, who had just rolled the dice, spread out his hands at this time, and let all the gamblers place their bets.

There are large pieces of paper with "single" or "double" written on it between the pot shaker and the gamblers. The gamblers put their chips on the big paper with "odd" or "even".

"Brother." Feng Mo asked, "Do you think it's single or double?"

"Put one at will." Ogata shrugged.

Ogata has always been insensitive to gambling.

In his eyes, "ten gambles and ten cheats" is an eternal truth.

Those who run casinos are best at using all kinds of illusions to give you the illusion that the game is fair.

Trying to get rich by gambling is pure nonsense.

Because he doesn't like gambling, Ogata doesn't want to spend any energy on it.

And Feng Mo happened to be a person who had no interest in gambling, and he didn't intend to play this "guessing odd or even" seriously.

Hearing Ogata say "put one at random", Fumo casually placed a chip on the large piece of paper with "bill" written on it closest to the two of them.

...

...

At this very moment—

In an inn diagonally opposite the wisteria house——

"Here, drink some water."

Hiding by the window, Yamauchi, who was carefully monitoring the wisteria house, looked movedly at Hasegawa who was handing him a glass of water.

"Thank you!" Yamauchi took the water from Hasegawa flattered.

"How?" Hasegawa asked after handing the water glass to Yamauchi, "Have you seen anyone who seems to be Kaoru Daibutsu or Shuichiro Shirakawa?"

"Not yet." Yamauchi shook his head.

"Then continue to monitor." Hasegawa said, "If you have any news, report it immediately."

"yes!"

After learning that the "Great Buddha Clan" and the "Blood Fog Crowd" are likely to cooperate, Hasegawa started the investigation at an alarming speed.

He set the "Great Buddha Clan" as the breakthrough point, and along the vine of "Great Buddha Clan", he touched the melon "Blood Mist Clan".

As early as last night, Hasegawa asked for all the information related to the "Great Buddha Clan" from Shenshan.

Shenshan has been eyeing the "Great Buddha Clan" for a long time.

Since the Tianming fire broke out three years ago, there are still many burned ruins in Kyoto that have not yet been rebuilt.

In order to rebuild Kyoto, Kamiyama was already busy enough. As a result, more than half a year ago, the group of lunatics headed by Kunieda Junroku who planned to destroy Kyoto came up with a bunch of moths. It's busy now.

Originally, Shenshan was already so busy that he wanted to divide himself into two halves, and he no longer had the extra energy to take care of the Yakuzas in Kyoto. As long as they don't do too much, Shenshan will adopt the attitude of "pretending not to see it first" .

However, the "Great Buddha Clan" has become more and more arrogant since they started to act 3 months ago, making Shenshan intolerable.

Therefore, he had secretly mobilized some of his manpower a long time ago to prepare for cleaning up the "Great Buddha Clan" in the future.

The results are quite gratifying.

Not only did they collect a lot of information about the "Great Buddha Clan", but they also bought a high-ranking member of the "Great Buddha Clan" who held a lot of real power and had a close relationship with the Great Buddha Kaoru.

This afternoon, with the help of Shenshan, Hasegawa secretly met with the high-level executive of the "Great Buddha Clan" who was bribed.

Although this person knew little about the "Blood Fog Crowd", he also revealed a very useful piece of information to Hasegawa - he was addicted to gambling, and almost every night he would go to the major casinos managed by their "Great Buddha Clan" to gamble Big Buddha Kaoru, tonight will go to their largest casino: Wisteria House.

The reason why he was able to know this information was because this morning, he received an invitation from their boss: go to the Wisteria House to play a couple of games together tonight.

Based on this information, Hasegawa quickly drew up an action plan - tonight urgently monitor the wisteria house where Kaoru Daibutsu will haunt.

If you find members of the "Blood Mist" headed by Bai Chuan, take them down immediately.

If no member of the "Blood Mist Clan" is found, take down Dafo Xun, "invite" him back to the enforcement office, and ask him for some information.

Because the wisteria house may be very "lively" tonight, Hasegawa kindly reminded the ghost of the "big Buddha family" who provided the whereabouts of Daibutsu Kaoru - don't go to any wisteria house tonight, just stay at home just wait.

The surrounding area of ​​the wisteria house can be said to have been heavily deployed by Hasegawa.

The subordinates in charge of monitoring were dressed in plain clothes and scattered around, closely monitoring the wisteria house.

The subordinates responsible for rushing into the wisteria house to arrest people were all concentrated in Hasegawa, who was currently in the hotel diagonally opposite the wisteria house, ready to rush into the wisteria house to arrest people at any time.

After handing water to Yamauchi who was in charge of monitoring, Hasegawa did not leave immediately.

Instead, he stood by the window and looked at the wisteria house not far away with strange eyes.

Then he showed a faint smile, and said in a low voice that only he himself could hear clearly:

"Hands are so itchy...I really want to play a couple of times..."

After all, Hasegawa scratched his right palm vigorously—this kind of scratching, as if his right palm had unfortunately been bitten by a dozen large bites by mosquitoes.

...

...

Ogata and Fumo, who have been gambling in the Buddhist system, have already played more than ten rounds in one go.

I don't know if it was because they were gambling randomly, but their winning rate remained at around 50%.

Every time you lose a chip, you can often win back the loss very quickly.

Because the number of chips lost was roughly equal to the number of chips won back, so after more than a dozen rounds of gambling, the number of chips in Ogata's hands basically remained the same.

Crash la la la...

Tsubobuki, who was sitting diagonally across from Ogata, shook the barnacle with two dice with great skill, and then knocked the barnacle to the ground.

"Please." Hu Zhen spread his hands.

As soon as Hu Zhen spread his hands, Feng Mo casually threw a chip in his hand onto the "bill" in front of him.

The rest of the gamblers followed suit, placing bets.

However, at this moment——

"Oh! There are exactly 2 vacancies here, let's move! Let's move!"

A slightly hoarse young male voice sounded from behind Ogata and the others.

Looking back -

A young man with his arms around a very beautiful and alluring woman walked towards Ogata and the others, walking quickly and swaggeringly.

And behind the young man, followed by six serious warriors.

The six warriors kept scanning the surroundings, guarding all directions—these six were probably the young man's bodyguards.

Ogata noticed that after the young man appeared, many people present showed signs of fear: for example, a bald middle-aged man with a high hairline who is sitting on Ogata's right now.

"Who is this person?" Ogata asked the bald middle-aged man beside him.

"He is the leader of the 'Big Buddha Clan' who manages this casino: Big Buddha Xun's adopted son: Big Buddha Longzhi." The balding middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "He is submissive in other places, but arrogant and domineering in his own venue The Second Patriarch. It's really bad luck... to meet him in this kind of place..."

——Dabutsu Kaoru's adoptive son?

Ogata and Fumo were in sync at this moment—they turned their heads to look at Takayuki the Great Buddha who was hugging the alluring woman at the same time.

...

...

Dafo Longzhi, like his adoptive father, Dafo Xun, is a gambler, and almost every night he goes to the major casinos under their "Great Buddha Clan" to play a game or two.

Tonight, his adoptive father Dafoxun invited many people with the same hobbies to come to the Wisteria House to play a few games - Takayuki was one of the people who received the invitation.

His adoptive father didn't know when he would come, and Longzhi, who couldn't hold back his "spirit of gambling", decided to bring the woman he hooked up with to enter the arena ahead of time and wait.

His favorite gambling game is "guess odd or even".

As soon as I entered the Wisteria House casino, I saw a "guess odd or even" booth, and there happened to be two vacancies.

As he walked towards the booth with his new woman in his arms, he noticed that many people around him were casting various glances at him.

Most of the gazes contained emotions of fear and envy.

These gazes made Longzhi very happy, and brought Longzhi a kind of pleasure of "being superior to others".

Feeling extremely refreshed, Longzhi subconsciously increased the intensity of kneading the new woman in his arms, arousing bursts of moaning from his arms.

At this time, Longzhi found that at the odd-even booth where he was about to gamble a few times, there was a guy wearing a bamboo hat, a face scarf, and a light-colored haori, and a bald old man who was looking straight at him. he.

From the eyes of these two people, Long Zhi felt a trace of heat.

— hum! Be envious!

Takayuki, who decided that these two people should be envious of him and cast a fiery look at him, laughed triumphantly in his heart.

——In their hearts, they must be very envious of Lao Tzu now! I really want to be able to hug such a good woman like Lao Tzu!

...

...

Ogata: - You can tie up this big Buddha Takashi later.

Feng Mo: - You can tie up this big Buddha Longzhi later.

The two were in sync again, and at the same time, they said the same words in their hearts

Ogata now only feels that all the hard work so far has been worthwhile.

Although Dafoxun has not waited for him now, he has waited for Dafoxun's adoptive son.

Ogata has now made up his mind: if the Great Buddha Xun does not show up in the wisteria house tonight, he will kidnap the Great Buddha Longzhi and ask him where the Great Buddha Xun is.

This man is the adoptive son of Dafoxun, if he said that he didn't know where his adoptive father usually lived, Ogata would definitely not believe it.

The hard work tonight was not in vain, which made Ogata feel a little better.

After more than a dozen rounds of guessing Odds and Evens, Ogata has long since grown impatient.

One of the most torturous things in the world is to do something that you are not interested in at all-Ogata and Fuma have been enduring this kind of torment just now, playing "guess odd and even numbers" until their scalps become numb.

Although the big Buddha Longzhi was accompanied by six bodyguards guarding him—but so what?

At this time, Takayuki had already embraced the woman in his arms, and sat cross-legged on the empty seat 3 seats away from Ogata and Fumo.

As soon as his butt landed on the ground, he grinned: "Oh! Haven't opened the pot yet? That's just right! It's just right for a gamble!"

After that, he lowered his head to the woman in his arms and asked:

"A Chang, do you think the points in this pot are odd or even?"

This woman lying in Longzhi's arms... Although Ogata didn't want to use this word to describe a woman, but after thinking about it, he still felt that apart from "Sao", there is no other word that can perfectly describe this woman appearance.

There was so much makeup on her face that it gave off a weird atmosphere, but she could still vaguely see that her facial features were delicate and beautiful.

The hair is combed into the most popular Shimada bun, and various decorations are inserted in the hair.

He was wearing a bright red kimono that seemed to be so loose on purpose.

The hem is parted wide, revealing the fair calves and feet.

The placket of the upper body is also parted very far, revealing the conspicuous "big scar".

To put it bluntly... Ogata felt that a strong wind might blow off the loose kimono on this woman.

I don't know if it's because of her makeup, but this woman always exudes a coquettish aura.

After hearing Longzhi's question, the alluring woman whom Longzhi called "A Chang" tilted her head in thought, and then said in a delicate voice:

"I think it's double~~"

"Okay! Then cast double!"

Longzhi waved his hand very proudly, and threw the 2 chips with the highest value—yellow chips representing 1 tael of gold—onto the big paper with "Double" written on it.

Immediately after Longzhi threw the two yellow chips, there were gasps around him one after another.

Hearing the panting sounds around him, the corners of Longzhi's mouth that had just been flattened up again with pride.

"Mr. Long, are you investing 2 taels of gold?" Ah Chang raised his hand to cover his mouth, showing a somewhat artificial surprise.

"Hahaha!" Longzhi squeezed the beautiful woman in his arms a few times, "It's just a small amount of money! The pot vibrates! Open the pot!"

Hu Zhen obviously knew Longzhi, and when Longzhi asked to open the pot, he kept removing the barnacles—2 o'clock and 4 o'clock, double.

"Mr. Long, we won~~"

The man and woman who suddenly appeared naturally became the focus of the audience without a doubt.

Almost everyone, even those who hate Takashi, looked at Takashi with envy hidden in the depths of their pupils.

Who wouldn't want to be like Long Zhi, holding a beautiful woman in his arms, and then casually taking out 2 taels as a bet?

When Longzhi was about to start the second game, he suddenly heard a familiar voice:

"Oh? Longzhi, you're already here."

Takayuki: "Oh! Kijiro! You're here!"

The person who greeted Takayuki warmly was named Kijiro, and he was one of the top executives of their "Great Buddha Clan".

Behind Kijiro was a huge group of people, many of whom were cadres of the "Great Buddha Clan".

They were all invited by Dafoxun to come to the Wisteria House to play two games together tonight.

"Kijiro! Come on! Let's gamble together!"

After finishing speaking, Longzhi turned his head to look at the other gamblers sitting next to him, waved his hands as if trying to repel some flies, and said in a very impolite tone:

"Hey! You all get the hell out of here! Let me out!"

After Longzhi sat in their booth, most of the gamblers in this booth felt like they were sitting on pins and needles—after all, gambling with the leader of the famous "Big Buddha Clan" Yizi, who knows if there will be any accidents?

But they didn't dare to just pat their butts and leave - because doing so might cause trouble.

why are you leaving Do you not want to gamble with me? If you are asked such a question by Longzhi, you really don't know how to answer it.

Now hearing that Longzhi told them to go, they all walked away quickly holding their chips as if they had been pardoned.

But not everyone left.

For example - 2 people did not leave, still sitting where they were.

"Hey!" Longzhi frowned, and shouted at the two of them with displeasure, "That guy in the disgusting light onion haori, and that old man with a bare head, are you deaf? No Hear me telling you to get out of here quickly?"
