Kuroda Castle in Harima Province, Kuroda Castle, is the residence of the Kuroda family, and it is now the first fortified castle of the Yin and Yang Provinces of Harima Province and even the entire Western Province. This is an emerging city with a history www.biquge.info of only 15 years, and its rapid development and growth is inseparable from the strong development of the Kuroda family and the strong investment of the Kuroda family.

The Kuroda family's castle town, because of the Kuroda vocational high school's idea of encouraging business, has been encouraged by many preferential policies of the Kuroda family. Like Kuroda Castle, it has expanded in size over the past decade or so, and has become the second most prosperous castle town in the western region after Himeji Town. (From this point, you can see Kotera Takahisa's ability to govern internal affairs)

On both sides of the wide, smooth avenue that leads to Sannomaru for two miles and three ox carts side by side, this is the best part of Kuroda Castle's castle town. Because it is close to the main road, it is the most convenient and most crowded area, and it is lined with branches of large merchants who have established commercial houses in the castle town.

There are very few small shops or stalls selling groceries, which are located in relatively remote places, on other side roads or side roads. Or they are scattered around longhouses and residential areas.

A thirty-year-old young man, dressed well, slowly appeared on the main road. From time to time, he looked left and right, looking around at the bustling shops around him, and at the same time looking around vigilantly. Thinking that he was sure that no one was following him, he walked into a relatively large izakaya.

"Sannosuke, the target has appeared, you said that this Akashi Yasumasa, didn't you say that he had been cut off by Mrs. Iwa? Why do you still have spare money to come to a place like an izakaya, and I still choose a high-cost place like an izakaya opened by a thousand houses. And you look at the clothes he was wearing, where it looked like a person whose income was controlled. ”

"Hey! Who knows, but it is said that the above Hattori Hokiyo and Kaneko Taro-sama have mastered something, and he must have some problems, so we should just keep an eye on it. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to eat and walk around without discovering his problem. ”

Two people pretending to be passers-by, pretending to buy things in a shopping house, whispering and seeing everything about Akashi Yasumasa.

Almost at the same time, in another nearby trading house, there were also two men who looked at Akashi Yasumasa and exchanged the same whispers.

"Hey! Six draws, the goal appeared. ”

"Well, no other questions!"

"Probably not, at least not in the vicinity."

"I still can't be careless! The concentric congregation of the Kuroda family is very powerful. ”

"That's true, we really should be cautious!"

"Then let's go over after we're sure it's safe!"

"That's exactly how it should be."

After observing the surroundings in the store, the two of them made sure that no one should have noticed them, so they walked into the izakaya with the sign of Senya and went to look for Akashi Yasumasa.

"Look at Sannosuke, look at those two people, are they very suspicious?"

"(Be careful not to reveal) Boss, how much does this teapot cost?" Sannosuke first reminded his companion before asking the guy in the store with a smile.

"If you return to the guest officer, you are really very discerning! This teapot is a unique treasure in the store, and it was shipped back from Ming Province and from Sakai Town only a few days ago. If an adult wants it, you can get it with ten times. ”

"That's it! Then I'll take a look! After the two of them finished speaking, they walked out of the store.

"Two poor ghosts, dare to come and see." Just now, the shopkeeper muttered to the figure of the two people leaving.

If he knew that these two people were members of the Kuroda family, and that his words had already been heard by them, he didn't know how he would feel.

The Kuroda family's Tongxin found out what had to be monitored, but they didn't rush into the izakaya of Senya because they were not dressed correctly.

The Kuroda family, who are in charge of the castle town, are not all flying on the wall, coming and going without a trace or something, it is really a game and a TV series. Although most of them can do it after rigorous training, and a few upper ninjas can even come and go freely, but in broad daylight, it is difficult for them to do so.

There is a secret base set up next to the main road of the castle town, and under normal circumstances, when they go out on duty in the castle town, they will change into various clothes as a cover, just like plain clothes.

Depending on the patrol area, they will disguise themselves as merchants, townspeople, ronins, monks, and even outcasts and beggars.

Previously, Yasumasa Akashi had been hanging out and spending in ordinary slums, so the people who had been following him all the time would follow him in the guise of townspeople or small businessmen.

But since more than a year ago, the trajectory of this Akashi Yasumasa's life has changed, and it needs to be pushed forward to obtain this time node, but I don't know when it will be.

From then on, Akashi Yasumasa seemed to have money, and began to go in and out of some places of consumption.

Because Akashi Yasumasa had his name on the castle town, and he was a person who had to be monitored by Kuroda Vocational High School's orders, their changes were quickly discovered by them.

And because he had a previous conviction for debts, all the people who monitored him thought that this guy was starting to be dishonest again.

As a result, what he took out was indeed real money, and every time he made a generous move, plus he bought a few very good items, he looked like a nobleman.

Don't say it, Akashi Yasushi has been pampered since he was a child, so he looks really good. In this way, all of a sudden, Akashi Yasuma's status as a relative of the Kuroda family really added a lot of luster to him, and every time he traveled, some idle wanderers began to follow him and hugged him, and he himself enjoyed this feeling very much.

Obviously, none of the people who followed him were really willing to be the younger brothers, they were just for the daily food and a few rewards from Akashi Yasuma when he was happy. And these little people have also been registered with the Kuroda family, and sooner or later they will be liquidated.

And as time went on, Akashi Yasumasa seemed to have an appetite that grew, starting from the shops in the most marginal slums, and slowly moving towards the shops of the wealthy merchants closest to the main road.
