Seven years ago in the sixth year of Kayong (1853), the American fleet opened the door of Japan and then signed the first unequal treaty in Japanese history: the "Japan-US Goodwill Treaty".

Since then, Britain, France and other great powers came to Japan one by one to sign various treaties like cats that smelled fishy.

In the fifth year of Anzheng (1858), two years ago, Japan signed a new treaty with the United States: the Treaty of Friendship and Trade in Japan and the United States.

In the treaty, Japan agreed to send an ambassador to Edo, and the American Embassy was officially born in Japan.

These foreign embassies are naturally the key targets of "radical expelling the barbarians".

They have harassed the embassy and those who are working in the embassy, ​​both in large or small, and in countless times.

At present, the idea of ​​"expelling the barbarians" is spreading more and more widely, and more and more people join the barbarians' movement, and their attacks on the embassy are becoming more and more intense and stronger.

If the ministers and others in the embassy were killed by "radical expelling the barbarians", it would be an amazing international issue, so the shogunate decided to add guards to the surrounding areas of the embassy.

But recruiting guards always takes time.

Therefore, while waiting for the recruitment of escorts to be completed, "Haraki Aoto" was transferred to the American Embassy as a "temporary guard" a month ago.

"Harakiri Akito" has been a temporary guard in the American embassy for 7 days, and during these 7 days, "Harakiri Akito" has done nothing.

He just patrols the embassy every day, but he is still targeted by the "radical expelling barbarians" and hates him.

They believe that this kind of behavior of helping foreigners is simply unforgivable.

It's a traitor! He was punished by heaven!

It was not the first time that the "radical expelling barbarians" people had assassinated the Qing Ding Deng.

10 days ago, they launched their first assassination of "Harakizumi Aoden".

"Harakizumi" is very lucky.

He was besieged by four assassins at that time. When his head was about to be chopped off, he suddenly came to help the "melon-eating crowd" like tonight.

The assassins who did not want to expose their appearance quickly fled.

That time, "Harakizuki" almost died.

While holding the swords high, the assassins shouted the so-called "crimes" of "Harakiri Aoden" loudly.

Thanks to these assassins' "careful actions", otherwise "Haraki Juiceng" would not even know why he was targeted by the "radical expelling barbarians".

"Okay." Jiubingwei carefully checked the sackcloth he had made in Qingdeng's wound. After confirming that there was no problem, he nodded, "Bandsting it. Young Master, please check if it is wrapped too tightly or too loose."

"The package is perfect, Jiubingwei, thank you for your hard work."

"Ah?" Jiubingwei leaned his right ear towards Qingdeng with a blank look on his face.

Seeing this, Qingdeng smiled helplessly, then put his mouth towards Jiubingwei.

"I said! The package is perfect! Jiubingwei! Thank you for your hard work!"

"Oh..." Jiubingwei nodded gently as if he was awakened from a dream, "It's good if there's no discomfort, it's good if there's no discomfort."

This old man who has served their Ju family for more than 30 years has become older and his ears have become less and less effective and he is still very forgetful.

Talk to Kyuubi with the volume that seemed to be roaring at his enemy - this is one of the daily situations of their Hokkien family.

Qingdeng stood up and jumped on the spot for a few times.

After confirming that there was no major problem with the bandaging of the legs and it would not affect Qingdeng's activities, Qingdeng raised his head and sighed.

Seeing this, Jiubingwei hurriedly came forward.

"Young Master, thank you so much for your hard work tonight. You must have been frightened by the 'anti-barrier faction' again."

"Well, yes..." Qingdeng sighed again, raised his hand to scratch his hair, "I was really scared..."

——I almost got hacked to death as soon as I came across...

——So what is my situation now? As soon as I crossed, I was targeted by a group of terrorists...

Those "radical and anti-barrier factions" are undoubtedly terrorists from any perspective.

And it's the kind of terrorist who can't reason with them and they're determined to kill you.

When Qingdeng felt sad about his current situation—

Dongdongdongdongdongdong!

A very rough knock suddenly came from the door.

The sudden knock on the door seemed like magic, which made Jiubingwei's face turn pale in an instant.

"Here, come!"

While responding urgently, Jiubingwei ran towards the door quickly.

Qingdeng, who was unknown, followed behind Jiubingwei with a confused look on his face.

Wow...

The wooden door was pulled open.

Standing outside the room were three young people.

The young man in the lead was wearing a very simple costume and a hat with a very low edge.

After Jiubingwei opened the door, he immediately raised the hat on his head, revealing a face that although his facial features were pretty, but was damaged by a huge scar that was pulled from the left ear to the right ear.

"Good evening, Lord Orange."

Scarface smiled and asked Qingdeng enthusiastically, who was standing behind Jiubingwei.

"As you can see, I'm here again. Have you saved enough money this time?"

——Save money? Who are these people?

Qingdeng, whose confused look became even stronger, quickly checked the memories of "Haraki Juiceng".

While Qingdeng was trying hard to check the memories of "Haraki Juiceng", the terrified Nine Bingwei returned to the back room in two steps, and then walked back quickly from the back room.

When he came back, a small piece of paper appeared in his hand.

"For you." Jiubingwei stuffed this small paper bag into Scarface's arms.

Scarface opened the paper bag - the paper bag was full of money.

"Is that a little bit this time..." Scarface curled his lips, "Is it too little?"

"Please be compatible." Jiubingwei said hurriedly.

Scarface glanced at Jiubingwei.

"...Okay, let's get some peace this time."

After saying that, he used his fingers to fiddle with the money in his hand, quickly checked the amount, and took off a small abacus on his waist.

"Well... deduct the money you paid back this time... Lord Ju, your father's current gambling debt is 520 taels left."

Scarface, who had fiddled with the abacus, smiled and stuffed the money that Jiubingwei had just given into his arms.

"The debt is only 520 taels left now. It's a pleasure to be happy, so keep working hard, Lord Ju."

Scarface lowered the hat on his head.

"The money has been received, so I won't bother you anymore."

"I'll come back in a while. Please be sure to prepare a more decent amount at that time."

"The money you have prepared tonight is really too little. If it were normal, I wouldn't even bother to collect it."

"But because you have always tried to pay back the money, you'll be able to make it once tonight."

"Next time, please don't use such a little money to fool me."

"otherwise……"

Scar's face showed a very sunny look at Qingdeng, a very warm smile, making both eyes narrowed into a slit.

"You probably don't want to live a life that can't even sleep well, right?"

"I wish you a good night's sleep tonight."

After saying that, Scarface pressed the hat on his head down, then waved his hand and led the two young men behind him to leave in a swagger.

Qingdeng stared at Scarface's departure back in a daze.

Just now, he finally digested the relevant memories of "Haraki Juiceng" about "debt" and found out who this scar face was.

They are "Yakuza"!

In modern terms, the Scarface just now is the so-called gangster.

Qing Deng, who graduated from a police academy in his previous life, became familiar with the underworld.

When I was studying at a police academy in my previous life, a senior who specialized in studying gangs and Qingdeng, who had popularized Japanese gangs.

The Japanese gangsters can be traced back to the Edo era - that is, the era in which Aodo is currently living.

The predecessor of the Japanese gang was a group of low-level members of society in the Edo period, and they were united in order to survive.

But gradually, these organizations that the lower-level people gathered together to survive gradually began to deteriorate. They began to engage in shameful but very profitable activities such as pornography, gambling, borrowing, etc., in order to seek profits and strengthen themselves.
