16. Break up
The moon is bright, and the spring grass blooms unknown flowers.
At this time, it is best to use a glass of warm wine to drive away the chill of early spring.
Edo people often say, "Wine and alcoholics have no granary in their house, and if they don't get drunk, they don't have granary in their house." Although drinking is a waste of money, everyone is a drinker who never repents. The long night is long, without talking about serious matters, drink a drink first.
"Whether morning, late afternoon, or evening, there is a constant guru and wine." Mr. Kondo Shusuke is a typical drunkard.
When I woke up in the morning, I drank half a bowl first. He said that this was a good sign for eliminating disasters and solving problems. A sip of wine in the morning can also inject vitality and rejuvenate. In the afternoon, the teaching of kendo came to an end. I ate some side dishes for lunch, and then had another cup. I took a bath in the evening, continued drinking after soaking, and also had a cup before going to bed, so I could drink five meals a day.
Kondo Yuki's alcohol capacity is not good, but he can eat it. Qin Ming wanted to drink with the master and learn a few more tricks about the secrets of natural spiritual flow. Unfortunately, the wine in the dojo really tastes nothing.
If there is good wine on the market, it is expensive.
Although the boss of Yinghuawu sent a 20 taels of thank-you fee and promised that Qin Ming would be free when he went to Jiyuan to play, it was really a drop in the bucket and was not enough to eat and drink.
But soon, a sucker came to treat him.
The matter of Kiyoji was settled, not only did Sojiro kill, but also four people from Mitsubishiya.
The owner of Mitsubishi House expressed his gratitude and invited Qin Ming and Matsu Heirongba to go to the Eight Hundred Shan for dinner.
Qin Ming brought Kondo on vacation to ward off evil spirits. He finally went out. If the case came out again and again, it would easily ruin his mood.
"I am Yataro Shimoi Iwazaki, who is the owner of Mitsubishi House. Thank you for Lord Abe this time!"
After a long time waiting for Yataro in the private room, Qin Ming felt that the name sounded a little familiar, but his attention was always on the meals on the table.
It has both color, fragrance and taste, and is worthy of being a high-end restaurant where you can eat a samurai for a year.
Matsuhira Rongbao arrived soon, and there was a thin old man beside him, holding a purple smoke pipe in his hand.
During the Edo period, the tobacco pipe was a symbol of status. This purple smoke pipe was almost equivalent to a Lamborghini, which shows that the person who came was a good identity.
"Takiro Shinmen?" Kondo Ao, who was already restless, exclaimed, causing the old man to frown.
Qin Ming didn't care and asked Kondo softly: "Who is this old man?"
Kondo answered quietly, for fear of angering the person: "The leader of the thief who made the fire to change the party is different from the one who is responsible for the case, and he is more focused on the fire. Mitsubishiya's tragedy should be the one who is responsible for it. In terms of identity, Tatsugoro is about the same as Lord Matsuhira, but he has 3,000 people."
"The most important thing is that he has a good relationship with Ichihashi's Ministry of Justice, and Lord Matsuhira also belongs to the Ichihashi Sect. In this way, Tatsugoro's status is even higher."
"oh."
Qin Ming responded in a slight manner.
There is a small fire in Edo for three days and a big fire in five years. To some extent, it is more important than the pursuit of the fire, especially the three thousand little brothers under Tatsugoro. This is a new force. In addition, he has a good relationship with the Ministry of Justice, who is in charge of the shogunate criminal affairs, and he is indeed a big man.
Unfortunately, Qin Ming was not interested in the factional struggles of the shogunate and did not have to kneel down. In another six years, the shogunate would die!
As Kondo ate, he completely let go. After eating it hard, Yataro felt distressed.
Chen Wuro was drinking quietly, as if he didn't want to have any interaction with Qin Ming. This time, the Eight Hundred Shan just dealt with the matter.
But Matsuhira Tomb frequently toasted:
"Thank you very much for Lord Abe this time!"
"If Lord Abe hadn't happened to be present, we would have been fooled by the murderer, and there would be another unsolved case!"
"Lord Yiqiao will definitely be dissatisfied!"
Oh, it turns out that the big man behind the screen is not the general, but the Ichihashi Prefecture Minister.
"Hmph..." Shinmen Tatsugoro snorted coldly. In his opinion, it was just because his ability to follow was too poor, and it could be easily solved if it was a fire-thief change. He had found clues in the Mitsubishi Ya tragedy, but he was taken first, so he could not be so respectful to an Onmyoji who pretended to be a ghost.
Qin Ming didn't care about Chenwuro's small actions:
"It's okay, just do it casually."
Matsuhira Hokki said sincerely:
"Mr. Abe, I actually asked about you after the Inuji case."
"So you are the ancestor of the Toojimen family in Kyoto, a descendant of Abe's brother, Lord Taiqin... No wonder you are so powerful!"
When he said this, Matsuhira Tomosaki's tone was filled with a sense of respect.
Even if Qin Ming failed to resolve those unsolved cases, just relying on this identity would be enough to treat him with courtesy.
"Uh... It turns out that my identity is so complicated..."
There are three Onmyoji in the history of the Abe family. The last one is Abe Taiqin, known as the "Son of the God". It was he who created the most glorious Tuyumen lineage, also known as Tuyumen Taiqin.
And I am a direct descendant of Tai's younger brother Qin Xin...
One Tai and the other Qin, could it be that it was a typo?
Just when Qin Ming was in deep thought, Matsuhei Rongbao struck while it was hot and said:
"Mr. Abe, even Master Yiqiao praised your Yin-Yang technique and knowledge."
"So, as the capacity of the town, I sincerely invite the adults. Can I help maintain the peace in Edo as a consultant?"
Matsuhira Yoshiba showed off his knowledge. The word "consultant" is unique to Lanxue. Only truly knowledgeable nobles know their meaning, and it is also a test.
In fact, there is not much news about what you can find out about Qin Ming, and no one dares to investigate the Too-Men family in Kyoto.
The most urgent task is to win over Qin Ming. Such a capable Onmyoji is rare. Recently, killing and robbery have occurred frequently, which makes the general furious and even summoned the elders to Edo Castle to rectify public order and pursue what they must do to achieve political achievements and reverse their image.
And Qin Ming is undoubtedly the best helper.
Because he is Onmyoji, these incidents have proved that there is no unsolved case in front of Onmyoji.
Matsuhira Yoshiba bowed and invited me solemnly again.
Qin Ming was about to refuse, but he was still preparing to change his career. He kept teaching everyone elementary school knowledge in the temple. It was time to make his reputation come out, and someone would come to his house soon.
But he didn't want Tatsugoro, who had been drinking silently, knocked his glass heavily on the table:
"What's the use of Onmyoji who only knows how to pretend to be a ghost?"
“Have you been to the fire scene?”
"The Onmyoji who carried the vault and held the money that was cheated, and stepped on the civilians to escape, but there were countless more!"
"Didn't you all escape to Kyoto? What are you doing again!"
"Is it a shitty Onmyoji who can protect Edo? What's the use of such a guy who only knows how to talk about in a fire?"
Qin Ming was puzzled by Chen Wulang.
It seems that this comrade has deep prejudice against Onmyoji?
Onmyoji has a hammer relationship with a fire. Do you still have to be responsible for putting out the fire?
But he wasn't angry, and he still maintained his temperament:
"Mr. Matsuping, I still have important things to do, so I will say goodbye first."
Qin Ming stood up with a smile, pulled Kondo, whose mouth was stuffed with tofu, and left. He was worthy of being a person who could stuff his fists in his mouth. He would definitely make a profit when he took it to a buffet. No, it was a huge profit.
"Master Abe!" Matsuhei Etsuba looked at Tatsugoro, then looked at Qin Ming's back as he left. Somehow this happened. Tatsugoro seemed to dislike Onmyoji very much.
"Goodbye."
Qin Ming smiled and, just as he opened the door, he suddenly said something:
"Sir Xinmen probably don't know that things like cigarette pipes are the most likely to cause fires, right?"
Old Tanwuro's face frowned and glanced at the purple smoke pipe at his hand. He saw the ash at the mouth of the pipe falling, falling on the tatami, giving birth to a little spark.
It was not until I left the gate of the Eighth Hundred Good, that Kondo had finished digesting the food in his mouth.
"Himmer—" he said while savoring: "Talungoro would hate Onmyoji, probably because of the Mingli fire hundreds of years ago."
"Let's talk about it when you go back."
