130. Curse and Knife(1/2)
"Xiao Xiao has been killed."
Kuroda Nagato shook his knife cleanly.
Sanako, Okina and others who were pursuing the samurai, saw that the situation was wrong, immediately retreated and protected Qin Ming.
Actually, I can beat you better than you, Qin Ming really wants to say that.
The young man with a slightly fat figure in front of him was the target of their trip, Kuroda Nagato. From the simple poke just now, you can see that his strength is not as ordinary as his appearance.
Moreover, there were many samurai from the Kuroda family who came with Nagato Kuroda.
"This is Lord Abe from Edo, right?"
Kuroda Nagato relied on the blade of the samurai sword in his hand, and the blood from the blade slipped to the tip of the knife and dripped onto the ground.
"Sorry." He wiped the samurai sword, put the knife into the sheath, and continued: "Mr. Abe was ordered to come and come to the Nagashikashi Kuroda Nagatoshi. He was in a position to welcome him. I hope he would forgive me for his crime."
"Speaking of the ability of Lord Abe to investigate cases is really unpredictable. As soon as he came to Jiafei, he cracked a murder case. No wonder he was valued by the general and was specially appointed as a position of non-violent envoy."
Qin Ming's expression remained unchanged and said softly: "Mr. Kuroda took action very quickly. I don't know whether this samurai killed people. I just reasoned and had no evidence. I had to capture Duojia alive and interrogate him. Unexpectedly, Master Kuroda took action decisively and killed him directly."
Kuroda Nagato chuckled and said, "I have to pay my life if I kill someone and pay my debts. Although there is no evidence, I can only follow Lord Abe's reasoning. The murderer will die if he dies, and it just happens to solve a unsolved case."
Qin Ming asked: "There was a case of drowning in this hotel fifteen years ago. Could it be that Lord Kuroda also solved it in this way?"
"Fifteen years ago..." Kuroda Nagato seemed to recall, and regretfully said: "It's too long, I can't remember it long ago."
The attitude revealed in Kuroda Nagato's words made everyone feel sank.
Calm, cold-blooded, decisive, not a good person, and Jia Fei is also his home court.
Qin Ming considered more, and the samurai had a relationship with Kuroda Nagato.
Although the warrior just now failed before he finished speaking, the words "Kored Kuroda, I succeeded" also revealed a lot of information.
There is a subordinate relationship between the Samurai and Kuroda Nagato. Kuroda Nagato sent him to do something, and he did it, and now he is killing people to silence him.
What did the warrior do?
Sprinkle gold? Create a drowning daughter?
Qin Ming felt that if Kuroda Nagato knew about the drowning daughter and the monster, it was very likely that the drowning daughter incident would be actually a test of him.
"It's really hard to deal with... But this also shows that Kuroda Nagato has something quite impressive."
"No, it should be instructed by the Kizhi Dan who colluded with him. Kuroda Nagato was just an ordinary person and didn't know so much about monsters."
After all, the Chezhi Dan is a sect. Like the Onmyoji, temple monks, witches, witches and other clergymen, it is normal that they can master some mysterious power.
Qin Ming faced Kuroda Nagato's eyes and smiled faintly: "Master Kuroda, that samurai is just a suspect. He was not considered a criminal before he pleaded guilty."
Kuroda Nagato shook his head and said, "The Edo style is not working in Kafari. Kafari has too many bandits. If you are not cruel and fierce, you will have been in chaos long ago."
"I heard that Lord Abe also encountered robbers on the road, so I plan to send someone to guard!"
"Master Kuroda knows a lot." Qin Ming said slowly: "Aren't you afraid that this samurai still has other clues? After all, he and the dead Mrs. Kuriyama should have no personal grudge."
"Hahaha! It's nothing more than asking for money. The gold that Mrs. Kuroyama found has attracted a lot of jealousy." Kuroda Nagato glanced at Qin Ming deeply:
"As for more in-depth things, let's go down and investigate. This is also the responsibility of the Jiafei State Department."
Kuroda Nagato emphasized the words "Jia Fei" as the boss of Jia Fei. Even if Qin Ming was sent by a general, he could only be on equal footing at most.
I also have a position as the Guardian of Jiafei. Although I shirked it, it was still a temporary one and not many people knew about it, but it would be fine to use it to suppress you.
However, Qin Ming did not rush to say that at present, status is not important, everything depends on strength.
After some conversation, Kuroda Nagato came up. In his opinion, he had the upper hand in this confrontation.
When he walked closer and looked at Qin Ming and the others carefully under the moonlight, his first impression was that this Onmyoji was so beautiful.
But this would not affect anything. He looked heartbroken and said in a formula:
"I am ashamed that as soon as Lord Abe entered the city, a murder occurred."
"But there is nothing we can do about it. Somehow, the news of the treasure of Koshu was circulated, attracting countless thieves."
"The general must have seen that Jia Feili is not good enough, so he specially sent Lord Abe to come and shook the virginity."
"Tonight, I will hold a banquet in Kofu Castle Honmaru to entertain Lord Abe and his party. One is to apologize and the other is to welcome him. I hope Lord Abe can cooperate and rectify the Karma."
"Okay, then see you tomorrow night."
Qin Ming turned around and left without looking back, his figure straight and breathtaking.
Kuroda Nagato stopped in place for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking, and waited until the samurai's body was completely cleaned up before leaving.
The next morning, Qin Ming took Kondo out.
Kondo's sword was broken by him, so he had to buy a new one.
At the same time, we also took this opportunity to inquire about the situation in Kofu City, and we can often get some amazing information from the people in the city.
There are much fewer monsters in Kofu Castle than Edo, with only Kondo and the little Xuan mouse on his shoulders, Qin Ming can come from the romance.
"I heard from the hotel owner that this Iinoyaki House is a famous forging house in Kofu Castle, let's take a look here."
Qin Ming brought Kondo into the house.
The boss of Yizhiwu greeted him very attentively. Seeing Qin Ming's clothes and temperament, he knew he was a big shot:
"What do you two want to buy? We have everything here!"
"Kondo, what kind of knife do you want?" Qin Ming didn't know much about the samurai sword, so he asked Kondo to pick it himself.
Kondo thought for a while and said:
"Is there any Hu Che in the store?"
In the early years of Edo, a knife craftsman named Nagaso Mitocho entered Doyoshi. All the swords he forged were called Torocho. The casting knife was straightforward, original, exquisitely crafted, and extremely sharp. Among the widely circulated samurai swords among the people, as long as it is Torocho's sword, it is regarded as the best grade.
This made the owner of Inoya feel a little tricky. Torito is more famous in Edo, and generally only Edo's forged houses are available.
However, as a smart businessman, when facing distinguished customers, he will definitely not say "out of goods" and he has to find ways to sell something else.
"You came by chance. Torutoki happened to sell out. Why not consider the store's treasure, this Michigan Taidian Hiroshi?"
The owner of Yi Nobuya didn't give the two a chance to answer, so he took out the treasure of the shop.
Open Furuki, take out a wooden knife box, then open the knife box, and take out a carefully decorated long knife from it.
"This is Michigan Taidian Hiroshi. If the name of the sword is a little unfamiliar, the name of the Takuen Tsubasa, the two adults must have heard of it. It is a treasure from the Muromachi Shogunate Ashikaga!"
"The Great Essence Taiguang Shi was made by the sword craftsman Sanchi Dian Taiguang Shi. In addition to the Great Essence Taiguang Shi, the swords forged by Sanchi Dian Taiguang Shi, like Hu Che, are named after their own name. This Sanchi Dian Taiguang Shi is one of them."
"In terms of grade, it is not inferior to Tiger Che. Even the great swordsman Yayoi Shibuwei of that year was very fond of Michigan Nobuya!"
Kondo couldn't help but nod: "I have also heard that Yagyu Tokio Yui especially likes to use Michigan Nobuta."
Yagyu Ten Bingwei? Yagyu's family?
Qin Ming unconsciously held the hilt of Sanchi Dian Taiguangshi, and suddenly felt a sense of intimacy from the soul.
He couldn't help but be stunned. His kendo was related to the Yagyu family. Could it be that part of it came from the Yagyu Ten Bingwei?
Or...soul?
If the original body is a small paper man, plus the soul of the great swordsman, then what does Sanshui Yoshiemon want to do? Reincarnate in the filthy land?
Seeing that Qin Ming was a little moved, the boss of Yiyue House added fire and said, "Our Lord Kuroda from the Jiafei Department is just a knife lover."
"The Kuroda Family's "The Legend of the Kuroda Family's Mitsuki Treasure" and "Three Famous Objects" are both famous works that talk about swords and swords. The famous ceremony Taikongshi is said to be in the hands of Lord Kuroda!"
As he was talking, the boss of Iinoya realized a problem. The indescribable master in front of him was an Onmyoji!
When Onmyoji buys a knife, what he values is definitely not the grade of the knife, and it is sharp, and he may not even understand the knife.
I have to sell it from another angle. The boss thought about it and continued: "The daughter of the Maeda Tatsu family, Haoji, is weak and sick. Hideyoshi gave Danita to the Maeda family and recovered after putting it beside Haoji's pillow. It was said that Haoji was plagued by the fox demon, and Danita drove her away."
"There is another legend. There was a haunted rumor in Osaka Castle that Hideyoshi lent Daejeon to the Maeda Tatsu family for investigation. Later, no strange things happened because Daejeon had the power to exorcise evil spirits and suppress demons."
Qin Ming couldn't help but lit up. What a good guy, the sword that exorcises evil spirits and suppresses demons?! Even if it is an ordinary sword, after the legend has formed a scale, it will definitely have the ability to ward off evil spirits. It is the foundation of survival!
Then he was a little disappointed. The one who drove away evil spirits and monsters was the famous and famous Taiguangshi. The three-chip dictionary Taiguangshi in front of him was a low-end version, and there was no legend that matched it and was useless.
Qin Ming shook his head and asked Kondo: "Are you satisfied with this Michigan Nobunata?"
Kondo thought about it and said that the treasure of the store must be very expensive. All he broke was an ordinary samurai sword and could not ask Qin Ming to buy a famous product for himself.
So he honestly said, "I don't care, I just need Hu Che."
"Uh..." Before selling it, the boss probably saw Kondo's concerns about money. He insisted on doing business and selling anything is not selling, and asked: "Tokor is not helpless."
"I'm rude, how much are you going to pay?"
Kondo hesitated for a while: "Twenty taels."
When he bought his knife, he only had thirty taels. After using it for a few years, it was normal to calculate the depreciation of twenty taels.
Twenty taels? Hu Che? I want to eat nothing.
However, the boss still did not change his face and replied, "I'll go find it."
In his heart, he regarded Kondo as a samurai warrior. Twenty taels of Torikatsu, but they are all imitations. Twenty taels of imitations with better quality must be thirty taels!
