"Hmph!" the woman snorted, "I count you lucky today, let's go!"
After saying that, the woman turned around and wanted to leave, but Kyogoku Takamasa smiled and said, "Stop, did I let you go?"
"What is the identity of Takeno Inaba, the guardian of the temple? If you want to show off and deceive, you should find a suitable candidate. Otherwise, people will see through it at a glance." Kyogoku Takamasa held his hands on his chest and looked at this with a half-smile. The woman called "A Rong".
Ah Rong turned around, stared at Kyogoku Takamasa and said, "I have to say, we did make a mistake!"
"Whatever you want!"
Kyogoku Takamasa glanced at Ah Rong with a playful look, "I actually didn't want to do anything, I just casually asked where you got these books, but you guys are so unwilling to let me go!"
"You even teamed up with the owner of this pub to deceive us. Do you really think I'm a fool?"
Hearing this, the faces of the woman and the owner of the wine shop changed. The latter even defended with a panicked look, "Sir, what do you mean by this? I have nothing to do with them!"
"It doesn't matter?" Kyogoku Takamasa pointed to the feet of the bar owner, "The straw sandals you people wear are all made in the same way, and even the patterns are the same. They are obviously made by the same person."
"These books have a strong smell of alcohol, and they obviously often appear in places related to alcohol."
"There are many merchants in Sakai Town. There are indeed various classics from the Ming Dynasty. They have been bought by others a long time ago. How can they be sold on the streets?"
"What's more, if you hadn't colluded in advance, there are so many people here, why did you choose us?"
Kyogoku Takamasa peeled off the disguises of Arong and the bar owner layer by layer, "Tell me, who are you, and where did these books come from?"
Ah Rong and the owner of the wine shop swallowed their saliva. After so long of cheating in this generation, this was the first time they faced such a situation. They didn't know what to do.
As for the twenty or thirty "helpers" who appeared behind A Rong before, they have long since disappeared. Everything has been exposed. If they were to face a group of samurai, these townspeople would not have the courage.
Moreover, Ah Rong does not have the nb status boasted by the bar owner. They are just an insignificant part of the thousands of businessmen in Sakai.
Half an hour later, Kyogoku Takamasa learned the true identities of A Rong and the bartender from the mouths of the two people, and also learned the origin of these books.
It's said that you don't know if you don't listen, but you were shocked when you heard it. The way Kyogoku Takamasa looked at Ah Rong was a little different now.
According to the confession between Ah Rong and the wine shop owner, Ah Rong is not the adopted daughter of Takeno Shaoou, but the daughter of the wine shop owner himself. Of course, she is not her biological child, but the daughter of a good friend.
The key point is Ah Rong's biological father. According to the owner of the wine shop, Ah Rong's father is a serious Ming Dynasty man who was born in a military household.
Arong died when he was eight years old. After that, Arong was raised by the owner of the wine shop. According to Arong's recollection, she had heard her father mention some past events.
Ah Rong's father's surname was Chen. He didn't say what his name was. He was a hereditary member of the National Guard under the jurisdiction of ZJ Dusi in the Ming Dynasty. At the critical moment when he was about to be promoted to a thousand households, his family had to flee for some reason that everyone knew.
Finally, the family came to rb after tossing and turning. He first lived in the Hizen area of Kyushu, but later came to Sakai on a ship. Then he went to Kyoto from Sakai. However, although Arong's father is a hereditary Baihu, his martial arts skills are just like that. He is actually no different from a big-headed soldier.
In the end, only by relying on the ancestral craftsmanship-------------------- can maintain a living. During this period, I got to know the owner of the wine shop and his family. The two families were neighbors, and they became familiar with each other as soon as they went back and forth.
After that, Ah Rong was born, but Ah Rong's mother died in childbirth. Seven years later, Ah Rong's father also died.
The tavern owner had a close relationship with Ah Rong's father. When he was traveling as a businessman in his early years, he encountered bandits on the road. It was Arong's father who saved the tavern owner's life. Therefore, after Arong's father died, the tavern owner raised Arong. grow up.
After that, the wine shop owner used his savings for many years to come to Sakai, a "merchant's paradise", and opened a wine shop here, but the business was not good.
In desperation, in order to maintain a living, I came up with this method, hoping to make some extra money.
Since the owner of the wine shop has some charisma in this area and is considered a local snake, Ah Rong is also very good at choosing his targets, mostly choosing country bumpkins from out of town.
So for six months in a row, Ah Rong and the owner of the wine shop made hundreds of dollars by relying on this trick.
It's a pity that my shoes don't get wet when I often stand by the river. Today, I fell into the hands of Kyogoku Taomasa.
"We've finished talking. If you want to kill or behead him, it's up to you!" Ah Rong still had that tough look on his face, glaring at Kyoto Gaozheng angrily.
After hearing about A Rong's background, Kyōgoku Gaomasa inevitably felt a little close to him. Besides, it was a big deal, so Kyōgoku Gaomasa didn't think about pursuing the case. "Anyone who commits unjust acts will be punished by death, you two." Take care of yourself!"
"I'm taking these books away. When you change your ways, come back to Omi to ask for them back! Farewell!" After saying that, Kyogoku Takamasa walked out of the bar without looking back. Akao Kiyosuna The others glared at the bar owner and Ah Rong, and then followed Kyogoku Takamasashi out and walked out.
After watching Kyogoku Takamasa and others leave, the bar owner finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, the other party doesn't seem to want to cause trouble, otherwise we would be in trouble today."
"Aren't they just a few warriors? What's there to be afraid of? If the two brothers are here, we must make them look good!" After hearing the words of the wine shop owner, Ah Rong clenched his little fists and said with a proud look on his face.
It's okay not to mention this, but the owner of the bar gets angry when he mentions it, "Humph! These two brats Hikorokuro and Jinsuke, if only you had half the Gu family of Aron!"
"I've been dreaming all day about becoming a samurai like that oil seller Shogoro, and I didn't even return home. I'm so angry! Cough cough cough!" When he mentioned the excitement, the wine shop owner was shaking with anger.
Ah Rong quickly stepped forward to comfort him and said, "Father, both brothers are ambitious people and have their own talents. They will definitely succeed."
"I heard that the oil seller Shogoro has become a samurai. Aren't the two brothers worse than that white-faced boy?"
When it comes to Shogoro who sells oil, the owner of the wine shop said with an angry look, "That bastard Naraya Matabei, he shows off in front of me all day long because of this!"
"Isn't it just his cheap son-in-law who became a warrior? What's so great about it!"
"Forget it! Let's not talk about it! Arong, go and clean up. The samurai was right today. Let's just do business honestly. Don't do this kind of thing again in the future." The owner of the wine shop waved his hand with a sigh on his face. said.
"Yes, father!" Ah Rong nodded, then opened the curtain of the wine house and walked to the back of the wine house.
Filled half a bucket of water and buried his head in it. A few seconds later, a fair face emerged from the water. Under the sun, a beautiful woman showed two tiger teeth.
