I formed the strongest swordsman group

Shinagawa Ju and Edo are just a short distance away. Last night, Qingdeng asked Feijiao to pass his letter to the Edo North Office, and this morning the reply from the North Office was handed over to Qingdeng.

After opening the letter with the great seal of the Hokubansho and the autograph of Machinobu Susui, Qingdeng looked at it at a glance.

The general meaning of this eloquent reply is 2 paragraphs:

1: Express condolences to Qingdeng, who was unfortunately attacked by the "radical anti-barbarian faction" again.

2: Let Qingdeng continue to go to Fujisawa to investigate the case, and they will take over the handling of the "radical anti-barbarians".

The contents of the letter were all within Qingdeng's expectation.

The magistrate is not Qingdeng's home, and high-level people like Susuki are not Qingdeng's parents.

It is impossible to interrupt the handling of business and the investigation of the case due to some personal reasons.

You have been targeted by the "radical anti-barbarians"...so what? Do you want us to no longer send you any jobs and protect you like a treasure?

It is impossible to recall Qingdeng like a giant panda just because of this matter, and then launch strict protection—to put it bluntly, Qingdeng is currently in the eyes of Susui and other high-level officials, and he is not so important. degree……

Qingdeng, who had already expected that Beifan would ask him to continue to go to Fujisawa-juku to investigate the case, silently put the letter away after reading the letter, and then led Saito to Fujisawa-juku.

Because of the lessons learned from the attack, Qingdeng and Saito raised their vigilance to the fullest after they set off for Fujisawa Juku again.

Take precautions and pay attention to some places on the side of the road where people are easy to hide.

The weather is cold now, and the palms are easy to freeze. If the hands are frozen, it will inevitably affect drawing and swinging the knife.

Therefore, in order to ensure that their palms are always warm, Qingdeng and Saito kept crossing their hands into the wide haori sleeves in the way of "farmer's pocket" when they were on their way.

Qing and Zhai are ready to fight.

But the figure of the "radical anti-barbarian faction" no longer appeared in front of or behind the two of them.

Not only have they not been attacked by the "radical anti-barbarians" anymore, but the weather has also been beautiful, and there has been no bad weather that hinders the two of them from moving forward.

The two arrived at the destination of their trip without any risk: Fujisawa Ju.

The time it took to reach Fujisawa-juku was about the same as Qingdeng had expected - in the afternoon after 3 days after leaving Edo, I arrived at this lodging place, which is one of the best in the entire Tokaido in terms of prosperity.

If there are any outstanding features of Fujisawa-juku compared to other lodgings...then naturally it is the "tourism resources" of Fujisawa-juku.

Fujisawa Juku is adjacent to a river. Walking downstream along the river, you can reach the famous shrine: Enoshima Shrine dedicated to the goddess of Benzaiten in Enoshima.

Many tourists and businessmen passing through Fujisawa Juku will basically visit this Enoshima Shrine.

If time and conditions permit, Qingdeng would really like to visit this Jiangdao Shrine, but he has official business and is not here to play.

As soon as he arrived at Fujisawa-juku, Qingdeng went straight to the Wenyaba here without stopping.

When I learned that the same heart sent by Edo Beifan came to support, the head of Fujisawa Jumonyaba, that is, Wenya-an old man with white beard and hair, immediately came out to greet him in person.

And after receiving Qingdeng and having a brief exchange of pleasantries with Qingdeng, he told Qingdeng a fact that stunned him...

...

...

"The gang of thieves who caused trouble in Fujisawa were caught?!" Qingdeng opened his eyes wide, and cast a surprised look at Wenwu in front of him.

Saito, who accompanied Qingdeng to investigate the case, and followed Qingdeng to exhaustion for three days, couldn't help being slightly dazed now.

After Qingdeng arrived at Fujisawa-juku, he rushed to Wenyaba here immediately, in order to immediately start investigating and try to catch the group of thieves who had been wreaking havoc in Fujisawa-juku recently.

As a result, just now, Wen Roofing said to him in embarrassment: Master Tongxin... this group of thieves have been caught...

"Yes, yes." Wen Wu with an embarrassing smile on his face, and apologized to Qingdeng a few more times, "It's a coincidence... just yesterday, this gang of thieves who kept making trouble were all caught. "

The perpetrator of the theft has been apprehended? !

Qingdeng took a few breaths to adjust his slightly confused thoughts after hearing Wenwu's words just now.

"...Did you guys catch the criminal in Wenwuchang?" Qing Deng asked quickly.

"Uh...not..." The awkward smile on Wenwu's face became stronger, "Master Tongxin, you might not believe it..."

"The one who helped us catch those thieves... was the cat monk..."

"Mao Xiaoseng?!" Subconsciously thinking that he had heard wrongly, Qingdeng leaned his upper body slightly forward towards Wenwu, bringing his ears closer to Wenwu.

Wen Wu nodded his head: "We have already interrogated those criminals, and they have the same caliber. They all say that the person who caught them is the cat monk who is very famous in Edo recently!"

"...What's going on?" Qingdeng straightened his body again, frowning slightly, "Tell me clearly."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Facing the samurai, who was also an official in the Edo prefectural office, he didn't dare to ask any contemptuous questions, so he explained to Qingdeng with unorganized but still clear words.

In the early morning of yesterday, when they asked the house to open the door, they suddenly found that four young people who had been tied up and passed out were thrown in front of their gate.

The heads of these four youths were all covered with a large paper bag, and a large line of writing was written on the paper bag: These four people are suspected to be thieves who have been stealing here recently.

Asking everyone in the house, at first they thought it might be a prank played by someone.

It wasn't until a sharp-eyed person recognized that one of the four people was a gangster who had been wanted for several months and hadn't been caught so far, that everyone began to pay attention to being sent to them by unknown persons. These 4 people in front of the gate.

After all, Wenyachang is only an institution in charge of managing the dormitory, and it does not have the right to torture the four people.

But there are still loopholes to exploit.

Although they cannot be tortured, they still have the right to "talk" to them.

Everyone in Wenyachang locked the four youths in a room for questioning, and threatened them with various harsh words.

If you refuse to tell everything you know, we will send you to the Edo Enforcement Office, and let the officials and gentlemen in the Enforcement Office treat you...

Three of them were unmoved by their harsh words.

But a young man who was only about 14 years old was bluffed.

The person who was frightened by the harsh words of the people in the house, vomited out everything he knew with a sincere attitude that he wished to take out his whole heart and show it to everyone.

He admitted that the four of them were the gang of thieves who had been stealing money in Fujisawa recently.

Last night, they planned to sneak into the dormitory to steal the money from the passengers as they had done several times before.

But just as they climbed onto the roof of a certain hotel in the camp, and were about to sneak in to steal, a black figure suddenly appeared from nowhere, and then rushed to them.

The four people who were startled by the sudden appearance of the black shadow subconsciously asked the black shadow: Who is it?

"Then, the black shadow said: 'That's right, Monk Mao!'"

After all, the old man flattened his hands into the shape of palms, with his palms facing upwards, and then raised his arms high.

While raising his arms, Wen Wu stood up abruptly and bent his right leg upwards, standing in a golden rooster independent posture.

quiet……

Qingdeng and Saito, who were kneeling on the tatami mats in an orderly manner, raised their heads and looked at Manya who suddenly assumed a strange posture.

For a moment, the atmosphere was extremely quiet...

"...that... may I ask: What's the matter with your action?" Qingdeng, who was full of question marks, tried to ask in a calm tone.

"Uh..." Wen Wu withdrew his raised arms in embarrassment, and knelt back on the tatami, "This is what the young man who confessed said: At that time, the cat monk was doing this while reporting own name..."
