Wen Xian is not tall, his height is only about 160m.

But at this moment, Wenxian, who was slowly walking towards Mamiya and Yoshitomi, made them feel like a mountain was slowly pressing down on them...

Shock and fear appeared in Yoshitomo's eyes.

Compared to Uprising, the emotions that surfaced deep in Mamiya's eyes were much more complicated.

At this moment, looking at Fumaki emerging from the darkness, Mamiya somehow recalled the day five years ago when he broke up with his father and was removed from the name of Yamada Asaemon by his angry father...

…

…

…

…

"Father! Why do you do that!"

"I've explained it many times... don't ask me to repeat it again: it was just to help Hui Duo, using their lives to exchange for the next life in the palace. These Hui Duo gang deserved their death. And their sacrifice was also worth it.

Yes, during the period of imprisoning you to prevent you from causing trouble, I have successfully made high-quality human gallbladder pills from this bunch of filthy human gallbladder. These batch of human gallbladder pills have now been sent to Kyoto.

These people's gallbladder pills should be able to cure the bodies infected by lung diseases in the palace."

"Father! How can human lives be equivalently converted in this way!"

"Shut up!" Wen Xian, who usually speaks softly, unexpectedly shouted at the top of his lungs, "Human life does not matter, this is just a statement to fool children!"

"In this world, some people deserve to live more than others!"

"If I sacrifice some less important people so that people who are more worthy of living can live, I will be happy to do so!"

"...Father." Kuro slowly stood up from the tatami, "Your concept...please forgive me, Yoshitsune cannot agree with it!"

…

…

…

…

After Wen Xian suddenly appeared, the air in the basement was filled with a lifeless atmosphere that was so oppressive that one could not even take a deep breath.

The first person to break the dead atmosphere was Wen Xian.

"...Yoshitomo, I have already given you a chance." Wen Xian said without any trace of sadness, "After you secretly let A Zhu out last time, I did not hold you accountable for this matter."

"I know that the culprit must be you. Without your help, A-Zhu would not have been able to break free of the chains that bound her and escape from the locked basement."

"Azhu did not escape successfully. I originally wanted to let the matter be revealed like this and pretend that nothing happened."

"Now it seems... I chose to let you go, and I really need to consider whether it was right or wrong."

"I kindly let you go, but not only did you not stop, but you even intensified your actions."

At this time, Yoshitomo turned his attention to Mamiya.

"You've really worked hard...and you actually asked Kuro to help you this time."

"I felt confused when I saw Kuro, who had been expelled from home for five years, suddenly come back."

"Why did Kuro come back just at this time when we got Atake?"

"So when I saw Kuro return, I raised my eyebrows: Could Kuro be retrieved by your Yoshitomo in order to entrust Kuro to help you release Atake."

"In the end, I actually guessed it right."

"No." Mamiya said coldly, "You guessed wrong. I was not brought back by Yoshitomo."

"The reason why I happened to return home at this time is purely coincidental."

"Fortunately, I came back at this time, otherwise this girl would have been tortured by you for who knows how long."

"Weren't you brought back by Yoshitomo... Anyway, it's not important anyway." Wen Xian said lightly, "I won't say any more nonsense. Kuro, Yoshitomo, give me a bamboo

Leave.”

"As long as you two leave now, I can pretend nothing happens tonight and only take the key to your basement from Yoshitomo."

"Impossible." Mamiya refused without hesitation, "You are the one who should get out of the way."

"...Ha." Wen Xian suddenly let out a few chuckles, "Such a scene... really seems familiar."

"Five years ago, on the eve of you abandoning the name Yamada Senemon and leaving home, we had a similar confrontation."

"Father." Mamiya's tone was unmistakable, "I cannot turn a blind eye to the absurdity of repeatedly torturing a little girl just to get better pills, both publicly and privately."

"...Hmph, not only are the pictures similar, but even what you said is the same as what you said five years ago..." Wen Xian paused, "Kuro, let me ask you: do you know how many people in Edo died of pneumonia in a year?"

Die of illness?"

Before Mamiya had time to answer, Wen Xian asked and answered his own questions:

"Thousands of people die from lung disease in Edo every year."

"And the vast majority of them are not terminally ill, and can save their lives as long as they take high-quality medicine."

"This is the reason why we have no worries about buyers for our Rendan Pills, and there is an endless stream of people buying our Rendan Pills."

"But we don't always produce high-quality human gallbladder pills."

"You have also carried the name of Yamada Senemon. You should know how lucky the production of Jindan Pill is."

"Human gall is taken from the prisoners on death row who were beheaded by us."

"It is not always possible to find healthy and young death row inmates, so the quality of the bile taken out is also uneven, making the quality of the pills produced sometimes high and sometimes low."

"And this girl has a body that can regenerate the bile."

"She is young, healthy, has high-quality gallbladder, and can make extremely high-quality human gallbladder pills."

"And I have also personally tested whether the human gallbladder pills made from Azhu's constantly regenerated bile have any side effects. There are no strange side effects."

"So, Kuro. Can you understand how precious and important this girl is?"

"Countless people will be saved because of this girl."

Wen Xian's tone slowly became deeper.

"Just by sacrificing A-Zhu, countless families can avoid the pain of family members dying of illness, Jiuro. Don't you agree that this is the right thing to do?"

As soon as Wen Xian finished speaking, Mamiya answered without thinking:

"I feel so stupid."

His answer was concise and neat.

"Father, those remarks you just made are just to impress yourself."

"In order to save more people infected with lung disease, sacrifice this girl?"

Mamiya glanced sideways at Atake behind him.

After Wen appeared just now, Atake immediately seemed to have seen some indescribable and terrifying ghost. His face was horribly pale, his body was shaking so hard that he had to hide behind Yoshitomo.

Mamiya has always seen Atake's reaction.

"Father, you just moved yourself."

"Since you asked me just now, 'How many people die from lung disease in Edo every year?' I'll ask you some questions now."

"Father, do you remember when my eyesight became bad and I couldn't see things in the distance clearly?"

"...16 years old." Wen Xian cooperated with Mamiyaji in answering his question, "Because you were reading by candlelight every night."

"At that time, you took me everywhere to seek medical treatment." Mamiya took over Wenxian's words, "I tried various methods to correct my vision."

"I've even done inexplicable things like drinking Huangfu water, but none of them have been effective."

"It wasn't until I left the family that, with someone's help, I found a way to see clearly with my eyes again in Nagasaki."

"Just put on this pair of Nanban stuff called 'glasses'."

"That trip to Nagasaki was an unprecedented and precious experience for me."

"That's when I first realized how advanced the Nanman people were."

"After getting to know more deeply, I realized that some diseases that are considered terminal diseases in Japan are just simple ailments among the Nanman people."

"For diseases that we Japanese cannot cure, the Nanman people have found ways to treat them."

"The reason is that the Southern Barbarians have been constantly researching new and more effective ways to treat diseases."

"So, Father, can you understand what I just said?"

Mamiya imitated Wen Xian's tone just now.

"As you just said, I was once a member of the Yamada Asaemon family! So I also know very well that even if the quality of Jindan Pills is extremely high! It does not guarantee that everyone will have the medicine after taking it.

effect!"

"If you really want all the people in Edo who are infected with lung diseases to be cured, you should work with the doctors to find new and better ways to treat people infected with lung diseases!"
