Chapter 5 Have you seen this kind of hell start?(2/2)
There was no such thing as a gang in the Edo era. At this time, people despised these people who were engaged in gang-like activities as "Yakusa".
Yakuza is the transliteration of the Japanese word "ヤクザ", which means "bad person" and "bad".
In the 20th century, Japanese gangsters gave themselves the name "Jidao" in order to gild their faces.
Why did Yakuza come to ask Qingdeng for money?
This is a long story.
It's all because Qingdeng has a bastard father...
Qingdeng's father: Takayuki Kiri was originally a good middle-aged man with a healthy spirit, cheerful and uplifting attitude, and no evil habits.
However, luck made people beat him up - he accidentally got addicted to gambling a year ago.
People who are addicted to gambling all have the same characteristics: they always think that they will win the next game. Once they are on the gambling table, they will never leave the table after they don’t bet until they have nothing to bet.
Ju Takayuki kept gambling, constantly... He bet until half a year ago, he suddenly contracted an incurable disease and finally stopped after he died of illness.
Although it only took half a year to go from being addicted to gambling and passing away, Qingdeng's father still owed a huge gambling debt - a full 600 taels of gold!
The price of 1 tael of gold in this era is almost equivalent to 128,800 yen in modern Japan.
600 taels of gold is 77.28 million yen...
It is converted into rmb, which is nearly 4 million...
[Note: The conversion between yen and rmb is based on the exchange rate when the author wrote this chapter]
What an astronomical figure of 600 taels of gold is, it can be seen.
In the Edo era, only Yakuza would open and operate casinos. Ordinary merchants would never get involved in casino business.
The casino where Qingdeng's father owed gambling debts was the Yakuza Group, which is commonly known as the "Qingshui Clan".
Yakuza in the Edo period adopted a family-centered organizational structure, so people generally call them the "xx clan" or the "xx party".
The "Qingshui Clan" is not an ordinary Yakuza.
They are extremely powerful, and they are involved in all walks of life in Edo. They are recognized as "the largest Yakuza Group in Edo."
The Scarface I just now is from the "Qingshui Clan".
Takayuki's popularity is actually quite good. Even though he suddenly becomes a gambling man who is addicted to gambling all day long, there are still a few people who will never leave Takayuki.
After Ju Takayuki died of illness, his close friends immediately joined forces and decided to work together to find a job for Qingdeng so that the Ju family would not be defeated because they had no source of income.
After some operation, they successfully allowed Aoden to inherit Takayuki's official position half a year ago and became the new unity of the Edo Kitaban.
Qingdeng inherited the official position of Takayuki Konori - this is certainly a good thing.
But Qingdeng inherited the huge debt that Ju Takashi owed the "Qingshui clan"...
Qingdeng's father died, and his gambling debt naturally fell on Qingdeng's shoulders.
In the past six months since Qingdeng's father's death, people from the "Qingshui clan" will come to collect debts every now and then.
It is natural for the father to repay the money, and the son to repay the debt is natural, not to mention that the person who owes debt is Yakuza, who has always ignored law and order...
I swallowed my anger and silently paid back my debt for half a year, and successfully returned from 600 taels of gold to only...520 taels of gold...
Bang!
Qing Deng, who slowly raised her head, raised her hands suddenly and pressed her cheeks.
——Not only were they targeted by terrorists, but they were also targeted by Yakuza Group, the most powerful in the city...
——What is the beginning of hell?!
