"Ogata Ittosai." Inshin said softly, "Let's have some tea here. I'll help you sort out a place for you to hide soon."

"Brother Ogata," Makimura said, "just go with him. Hide first and avoid the current limelight."

"...Hmm. So what are you two going to do next?"

"Of course I am going to fulfill my promise to Mr. Kamiyama and help him investigate this murder case." Makimura smiled slightly, "I am actually the same as Mr. Kamiyama - I also feel that the murder case that is currently disturbing Kyoto is not what it seems on the surface.

It seems so simple.”

"The mastermind behind this murder case most likely has other plans... Sigh, I just hope that Lord Shenshan and I have wrong intuitions."

"Shimada, let's go!"

"yes!"

…

…

After Makimura and Shimada left, Ogata knelt down and sat on the other side of the low table, facing Inokoro.

Although he made Ogata a cup of tea because of his heart, Ogata did not drink it.

"Are you wondering - who am I?" Inshin suddenly asked Ogata.

Ogata remained silent and just nodded.

"The Stegosaurus is really not interesting." Yinxin chuckled a few times, "You didn't even introduce me."

"My name is Yinxin Layman."

Yinxin reported a name that was obviously not his real name, and he could tell it was a pseudonym or some kind of nickname.

"For convenience, people call me Yinxin."

"Let's just call him the manager of this dirty plain."

"If you need any help in the future, Ogata Ittousai, you can come to Kushihara to find me. As long as you can pay me, I can help you do anything I can."

When he said these words, a strange light flickered in Yinxin's eyes.

"I will." Oufang responded expressionlessly.

"Lord Yinxin." At this moment, the dwarf came back, "We are ready."

"Okay." Inshin nodded gently, "Amiya, please take Ogata Ittosai there."

"Yes! Lord Ittousai, please come with me."

…

…

Ogata silently followed the dwarf.

I was surprised to find that the dwarf seemed to be taking him away from the dirty plains.

After leaving Shimabara and walking through alleys filled with sewage and garbage, Ogata returned to Shimabara, where the smell of violence was everywhere.

After arriving at Shimabara, the dwarf didn't stop walking and walked straight towards a wandering girl's house located at the entrance of Shimabara.

The signboard outside the door of this tourist house reads two large Chinese characters: Jiwu.

After following the dwarf into the Yoshi house, Ogata suddenly saw a middle-aged woman who seemed to be the madam of the Yoshi house standing behind the door, seemingly waiting for the dwarf and Ogata.

After seeing the dwarf and Ogata, the old bustard immediately started to smile.

"He will be left to you." After leaving these words lightly, the dwarf turned and left.

"No problem! Master Samurai, please come with me!"

Ogata followed the madam to the second floor of Yoshiya without knowing what was going on.

The madam led Ogata to a room on the second floor with ease.

After the madam opened the sliding paper door of the room and followed the madam into the room, Ogata froze on the spot.

Because in the room, a woman dressed as a wandering girl was kneeling respectfully in the center of the room.

After seeing Ogata come in, the wandering girl who was kneeling on the ground immediately leaned over and gave a standard salute to Ogata.

…

…

Kyoto, Fuma's mansion.

"Lord Fuma!"

Atachi didn't have time to knock slowly and opened the door of Fuuma Mansion directly.

"It's Komachi..."

The wind demon slowly emerged from the living room.

Fuuma didn't seem surprised that Atachi would come to his mansion again.

"Lord Fuma! Something happened!"

Omachi told Fuuma briefly and concisely that Ogata was wanted by the whole city.

After listening to A-Machi's story quietly, Fuma nodded:

"When you and Brother Ogata just left my residence, an official came to tell me to beware of Ogata Ittosai."

"That is to say - Komachi, you and brother Ogata are now lost, right?"

"Hmm..." A-Ting nodded, "I don't know where to look for him... so I wanted to come here to see if A-Yit has hid here with Mr. Feng Mo."

After saying that, A-Machi looked up at Fuma and his empty mansion.

"But now it seems that it's not here..." A look of extreme disappointment appeared on A-Machi's face.

"...Komachi, you are looking for brother Ogata now, right? How about you go to Shimabara and have a look?"

"Shimabara?" A-Machi's face instantly turned red, "A-Yit is not the kind of person who would still go shopping in the Flower Street at this juncture..."

"You have misunderstood, Komachi."

Feng Mo smiled bitterly.

"The beautiful area of ​​Shimabara actually hides a place that many locals in Kyoto don't know - Kuhara."

"Nothing that happens in the area with Shimabara as the center can escape the eyes of the manager of Kubara, Inshin."

"A group of officials passed by our door just now."

"From their mouths, I got a piece of news: 7 bounty hunters were killed."

"And the place where these seven bounty hunters died happened to be very close to Shimabara."

"These seven bounty hunters were most likely killed by Brother Ogata. After all, all the money-starved samurai in Kyoto are now targeting Brother Ogata's head."

"So - go ask the layman Yinxin."

"If Master Yin Xin doesn't have any clues... let's wait until then."

"Is it Kuyuan... Then, Master Fuma! How can we get to Kuyuan?"

Hearing Atachi's question, Fuma smiled bitterly.

"Komachi, not everyone can enter a place like Kubara."

After saying that, Feng Mo slowly descended to the earth and put on his straw sandals.

"Let's go, Komachi, I'll take you to Yuhara."

"I have some friendship with the Inshin layman. I asked him if he had any clues about Brother Ogata. He should still be happy to answer such a small question."

…

…

Mizuno Shinyong is in a very bad mood right now.

Despite treatment, his left cheek is still swollen.

Because of several broken teeth, it is now extremely difficult for him to even eat.

But compared to the physical pain, Mizuno's heart hurts more now.

The reason why he opened the sword hall today and showed outsiders the bell scroll style of his Qianxue Hall was to attract a new wave of students.

But I didn’t expect it—accidents happened frequently.

First, a man with a strong foreign accent suddenly appeared and kept questioning his swordsmanship.

Later, a strange man wearing a Tengu mask appeared and asked to spar with him.

As soon as he recalled this strange man wearing a Tengu mask, Mizuno Shinyong felt a burst of regret and annoyance in his heart.

This "Tengu" knocked him down with a sword, not only breaking several of his teeth, but also causing him to lose face in front of the public.
