Uchida Shokichi stood in front of the desk in the study, holding a writing brush in his hand. On the rice paper in front of him, there was a big word "Tao" written on it. In front of the desk, the housekeeper was bowing slightly, reporting to him about the investigation of the bodies of Yoshida Shinichi and others.
" So far, we haven't found any useful information about the people on Yonaguni Island. Those people seem to have disappeared out of thin air. It is initially judged that these people are not locals at all The people who have been suspected in several waves all have unfamiliar faces. , Judging from what we know, none of these people have been seen twice" After the housekeeper said this, he looked up at Uchida Shokichi's face.
The brush was gently placed on the pen holder. Uchida Shokichi's brows furrowed. It was obvious that the matter was more complicated than he expected. When the other party does things in one place, they send different people every time. How big a force is this?
You must know that these things need to be done by people who are very thoughtful and have considerable ability. There will not be too many such people in any private organization. Unless it is an official, but he is backed by Yamato Co., Ltd. and has a strong official background, who can make this matter invisible at the official level. Could it be an external force?
Thinking of this, Uchida Shokichi's heart couldn't help but move. None of the three secret bases in a row was successfully obtained. Such accidents are too incredible. It is difficult for even a government to cut off people like this without anyone noticing. Could it be that Hiroshi Shibata colluded with others? Thinking of this, Uchida Shokichi's expression changed slightly.
Judging from various signs, only Shibata Hiroshi can do this if he acts as an internal response.
¡°Let the Intelligence Department put the investigation target on the Shibata family!¡± The more Uchida Shokichi thought about it, the more he felt that the Shibata family was the biggest suspect.
"Yes!" the housekeeper responded.
"What is the current situation of the Yamaguchi-gumi Inagawa Association and the Yoshizuki Association?" Uchida Shokichi asked again.
"They have slowed down in mobilizing manpower recently, but the people who have entered Tokyo are gradually surrounding our people. There have been small frictions in some places, and nearly ten people have been injured" the housekeeper responded softly.
"Who is in charge of the Yamaguchi-gumi this time?" Uchida Shokichi's eyes flashed. asked.
"The overall coordinator is Vice President Suzuki Roshi, the specific command is the leader of the Samurai Association, Onino, and the one who contacts the Inagawa Association and the Suyoshi Association is Taniguchi Miki!"
"Oh? What about the other two forces?"
"The Inagawa Council was presided over by Tanizen Nobuyoshi. Another vice president of the Kyoshi Council came, Shiro Kawashima This time the Council of Kyoshi gathered nearly two hundred core samurai, and they caused several minor frictions. Things"
"It seems like this time it's really going to be a tough battle! Help me make an appointment with Taniguchi to get married!" Uchida Shokichi gently ordered. But he picked up the pen, lifted the piece of rice paper with the word "dao" written on it, and wrote the word "kill" in a big way on the paper. The hair moves like a dragon and a snake, the momentum is compelling, and it jumps out on the page. Uchida Shokichi stared at this word for a long time, and then whispered to his butler: "Go and get ready!"
"Yes!" The housekeeper bowed, took a few steps back, and went out.
Uchida Shokichi put down his pen and walked to the knife rest next to him. Gently pull out the top katana.
The scabbard of this knife is worn out, the handle is wrapped with a brown-black leather rope, and the wear and tear on the blade is very obvious. And on the empty space on the handle of the knife that is not wrapped with a leather cord, there is a word "Ìï" engraved on it. On the other side of the knife handle that cannot be seen is the word "ÄÚ".
Uchida Shokichi gently pulled out the sword. Compared with the ordinary samurai sword, the blade of this sword has been sharpened a little narrower. It has obviously lost its sharpness after countless fighting and sharpening. and domineering, but it makes people feel a kind of evil aura accumulated over the years.
This knife is from some time ago. It is said to be the sword used by the ancestors of the Uchida family.
Uchida Shokichi put the knife back into its sheath, then inserted the knife and sheath into his belt, and slowly walked to the open space in front of the desk. Looking out from there, outside the huge glass window, is an old plum tree with twisted snakes and dragons. There is not a single leaf or half-petaled flower on the bare branches, but one can feel the unyielding energy of life.
It is said that this old plum tree was planted by Uchida Ryohei himself and it was his favorite thing.
Facing the old plum tree, Uchida S¨kichi slowly lowered his body and suddenly took two steps forward. With a wave of his right hand, there was a brush. The cold light flashed out, and then quickly sheathed.
Then he repeated this action over and over again. Simple and straightforward, nothing fancy.
After wielding more than three hundred swords in a row, Uchida Shokichi calmed down and slowly stood up straight.
"Your swordsmanship has improved a lot!" Uchigawa Shithu, who had walked in at some point, said: "Sure enough, as my father said back then, only pressure can regenerate the sword wielder!"
Uchida Shokichi turned around, looked at Uchigawa Shitora and said softly: "I'm sorry! I have to involve you in these worldly things!"
"Being born in the world is a practice, and entering the world is also a practice! No matter how much I improve my swordsmanship, it can't replace the beauty of the moment when the blade penetrates the flesh! My swordsmanship has hardly improved in the past few years, but it lacks the killing intention of swordsmanship. So this incident is also an opportunity for me to hone my swordsmanship! In the peaceful years, it is difficult to have such a killing opportunity" Uchigawa Shihao's voice was calm, but he could not suppress the excitement in his eyes. with fanaticism.
Uchida Shokichi nodded and said: "I will try my best to communicate with them first! Among the teacher's disciples, there is no need to summon the Ninth Junior Brother. There is always an inheritor of the Uchigawa family's swordsmanship"
"Well, Ninth Junior Brother is newly married. It is when the murderous intention in his heart is the weakest, so I won't summon him Let us, Uchigawa Liuba Swordsman, fight the three largest forces in Japan!" Uchigawa Shihu said with a deep smile.
"I really don't want to use the power that the teacher left for me!" Shokichi Uchida sighed: "This is the last strength of the Uchida family! Of course it is also a strong force!"
"A knife that is not sharpened is not fast, and a sword that is not sharpened is not good! The way of the sword is to kill after all" Uchigawa Shitora said disapprovingly: "If Uchigawa-ryu Eight Swords does not kill people for a long time, how much sharpness can it still retain?"
"Yes!" Uchida Shokichi's calm eyes showed a sense of pride: "If Uchigawa-ryu Eight Swordsmen does not kill people for a long time, the world will really know that my Uchida family can be bullied!"
An inconspicuous building in Tokyo looks a bit old among the surrounding new buildings.
The name of the building is also very ordinary. On one side of the building, the originally eye-catching words "Yamaguchi Furniture" have been eroded by years of wind and rain, and have become mottled. This is the first property purchased by the Yamaguchi-gumi in Tokyo. It was also one of the few iconic buildings in Tokyo back then. But with the passage of time and the vicissitudes of life, this place has become the most inconspicuous place in this area.
A figure appeared at the door of the building. He looked up and glanced at the writing upstairs. It was Uchida Shokichi's housekeeper.
"What are you doing! This place is not open to the public. Don't stay here for idlers!" Two Yamaguchi-gumi members in black suits immediately walked out of the door and started chasing people away.
"Please tell Minister Taniguchi Miki that Harugu Uchida is coming to visit!"
"Uchida Haruki? From the Uchida family?" the older member of the team said in surprise.
"yes!"
"Wait a minute!" the Yamaguchi team member said, and then gave a few instructions to the younger team member, and then the young team member walked quickly in and went to the front desk to start making calls.
The operations of the Yamaguchi-gumi are completely corporate management, and there is no difference in the organization and establishment of enterprises.
After a while, the young team members hurried out. He said to the elder: "Minister Jianxi asked the leader to be brought up!"
Wearing a bathrobe, Taniguchi Miki met Uchida Haruhi. After a few pleasantries, he asked, "Butler Uchida came to see me, but Uchida Shokichi-kun found out what happened?"
"The head of the family asked me to invite Minister Ji, so I came. As for the specific matters, I can't know it alone. Whatever decision Minister Ji has to make, I will bring it to the head of the family!" Harumu Uchida said respectfully, but Don't show off your words at all.
"Okay! Then please report back to the housekeeper, and I will come to visit tomorrow morning" Taniguchi was pleased to see Uchida Harumu's stern mouth. Without further ado, he directly told me the time to meet.
At present, the people from the Yamaguchi-gumi Inagawa Association and the Kyoshi Association are almost concentrated, and whether to fight or merge needs to be decided as soon as possible. Otherwise, there would be thousands of people in Tokyo. It's all expense for people to eat horse chews. Moreover, the Suiyoshi Association was very angry this time and kept asking for a fight, because Uchida Shokichi finally did not send Ogura's body back, but directly cremated it and had the ashes sent to the headquarters of the Suiyoshi Association.
After seeing off Uchida Haruhi, Taniguchi was happy and had a phone call with Vice President Suzuki Roshi.
Suzuki Ryoshi naturally had nothing more to say. He just asked him to pay attention to his safety and asked the leader of the Samurai Association, Onino, to send a capable guard to Taniguchi Miki and arrange personnel to prepare for the response. After all, the relationship between the two parties is now extremely tense. Although the two countries are at war without cutting off the envoys, Uchida Province will even start a war. We won't make it difficult for Taniguchi to see him happy, but we must also prevent him from jumping over the wall in a hurry. Because judging from various sources. The Uchida family is currently greatly weakened and has no strength to fight against the alliance of the three families.
Since we have arranged a meeting here, we have also communicated with the Inagawa Society and the Zhuji Society over there, so that the two families can gather warriors to prepare. No matter what happens tomorrow, it is already time to open the cards. Once Uchida Shokichi cannot give a satisfactory answer, then he will directly start a war and take advantage of the situation to press forward and let the Uchida family feel the strength of the three families.
soIf we negotiate after the fight, the Uchida family will probably be more honest.
After all, strength determines everything, otherwise everything is just children playing house, coaxing themselves to play.
That night, the troops of the Yamaguchi-gumi Inagawa Hui and the Suyoshi Hui took advantage of the darkness to mobilize endlessly and surrounded all the Black Dragon Club's strongholds in Tokyo. Because Tokyo is the capital of the country, such large-scale fighting cannot be blatant for too long. Of course, all kinds of cover-up methods are ready, everything depends on the answer given by the Uchida family. (To be continued.)
