"Send?" Su Bai pondered the meaning of this word.

"Yes, my lord. A few years ago, I ran around for a living. I received a commission to hunt down the bandits. I was caught by a trap and managed to escape, but I was half dead. During the escape, I saw a person. He dressed up like a monk or a priest, wearing a bamboo hat, and told me a story."

"This story is about people and ghosts. In the past, ghosts could eat people, but it was difficult for people to kill ghosts. So in order to gain the power to kill ghosts, they cut off the horns of ghosts and used them as materials to make swords. This kind of sword can kill ghosts. Extremely improving and strengthening the power of the samurai, but the side effect is that people will converge and evolve in the direction of ghosts, and eventually even become ghosts. Even if they don't become ghosts, they can easily be swallowed by the power of the ghost sword and die... Kiryu said: "Then, he took out a knife from his luggage and handed it to me, saying that maybe I am suitable for this knife."

"So you drew your knife?"

"...I don't remember." Kiryu shook his head and smiled wryly: "At that time, I remembered that I pulled out the knife, and then what happened, I don't remember at all. When I realized it, the bandits were all dead, and I couldn't control it at first. My own body, as long as I hold the knife, I want to kill something... Maybe because of my sister's death, I temporarily suppressed the killing intent of the knife with anger."

"It was given as a gift." The chief put down his teacup and wiped the green tea from his lips: "But the craftsmanship of making ghost horns into weapons did exist in the past, but it should have been lost long ago, after all, died long ago."

"There is no room for dragon slaying skills without dragons," Su Bai said.

"Maybe it's the remaining ghost horns? It can be seen that it is not complete. If it is a knife made of complete ghost horns, it will be much more powerful than this. At least it can have [-]% of the power of ghosts." It's like fighting a real ghost.

"About that person's whereabouts..." Lianhua, who had been quiet for a long time, asked, "Do you know?"

"I haven't seen him since then." Kiryu shook his head: "I asked, but no one knows where He went, and the height and gender of men and women are all unknown, so there is no way to inquire about the news."

"It's not normal to send people around with such dangerous items." Director Okita frowned slightly.

"There will always be people like this who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic." Su Bai said, "Maybe they have some special purpose, or maybe they don't think about anything."

Lianhua picked up the tea bowl, sipped the tea, her eyelashes trembled slightly, her face was lowered, and her long hair covered her expression, making it invisible to the eyes that changed with the ripples in the tea bowl.

At this time, a servant came, approached Sato and whispered a few words.

Sato didn't take it seriously at first, but then his expression changed and he looked serious. He waved his hand and signaled the servant to leave.

"My lord, the servant has just received information about the rumor you want to inquire about."

"The issue of nocturnal excursion has come to an end?" Su Baixin said that the news spread a little fast: "Where? Who is it?"

"The minister of the shogunate, the Kujo clan..."

Japanese-style surnames are not called indiscriminately, just like the surnames of many big families passed down from generation to generation. Even in modern times, no one dares to use the surnames of many big families indiscriminately.

The Kujo family is one of them. The Kujo family is one of the Five Photographers, second only to the Konoe family. Kujo Kanemi, because he lived in Kujo, Kyoto at that time, got the name of the Kujo clan.

The status of the Fujiwara family is needless to say. Anyone who has a little knowledge of the East knows Fujiwara Meihong. At that time, the Fujiwara family could be said to be a family that controlled the imperial power. The most famous general who conquered barbarians was the Fujiwara family, also known as the Jiutiao family.

As a big family in the Kamakura shogunate era, the Kujo family had a salary of three thousand stones even in the Edo shogunate era. It is a wealthy family located in Kyoto, and its historical influence on a country is stronger than the "four major families in the capital" There are too many, and it is not enough to be frightened on the spot when seeing the Dragon King.

Even in modern times, these thousand-year-old families still have political influence, and they have the same surnames as 'Xiyuanji' and 'Ito'... Do they look familiar?It's right if it looks familiar... There is definitely a hint in a certain episode.

Su Bai guessed that high-ranking politicians might be involved, but he didn't expect to directly poke the hemorrhoids of the Jiutiao family: "Are you sure?"

"The Kujo family is the master served by my Sato clan, and I have sworn loyalty to it for generations, how can I be wrong?" Sato's expression was very serious.

"That's a good relationship." Su Bai's expression became a little more relaxed: "This way, we don't have to look around for news."

"My lord." Sato weighed his words: "Where did you hear about nocturnal excursions? What causes this disease?"

"Don't worry, it's useless to tell you now." Su Bai didn't answer and asked instead: "Instead, you should tell me who suffered from nocturnal travel syndrome and when did the symptoms appear?"

Sato said: "I don't know the details, but several people in the Kutiao clan have inexplicably suffered from this strange disease. They are ignorant during the day, and at night they will start to walk around at night, completely unconscious. Even a pharmacist can't do anything about this strange disease." ..."

"This proves that it is not a disease that can be cured by taking medicine." Su Bai teased, "What should I do if the child has a cold? It's probably just an act, and it will be fine after a beating."

"My lord..." Sato couldn't laugh, tears were in his stomach: "This is not the time to joke."

"That's right, let's go to Jiutiao's house while we still have time, maybe I can find some way to cure this disease." Su Bai said: "With the recommendation of your retainer, there should be no need to send any invitations in advance, right? "

"My lord is a magistrate, so it's okay to visit directly, but it will be a little offensive." Sato glanced at Su Bai's indifferent expression and even wanted to smile: "But my lord won't care about these, please rest assured, I will take responsibility The person who conveyed it... the current Patriarch of the Jiutiao Clan is an easy-going adult."

"That's good, that's good." Su Bai smiled: "I hope he has a strong mental quality."

"Master Fengxing... Please don't mess around." Sato was a little worried, but he still had to rely on the relationship of the Kujo family to get a job with the shogunate.

"Who do you think I am?" Su Bai rolled his eyes: "I just went over to say hello."

... Just asking if anyone in his family has died recently.

Sato went to get the carriage ready.

Su Bai was about to catch up but saw that Lianhua hadn't got up yet: "Lianhua?"

"Huh?" The girl raised her head when she heard the call, almost knocking over the teacup in her hand, and hurriedly put it down: "Why, what's the matter?"

"You're distracted." Su Bai asked, "Is there something on your mind?"

Lianhua put her hands on her knees and stood up from the sitting position. She shook her head, like a delicate doll, and replied silently: "It's just that my legs are numb."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The Kujo clan, namely the Fujiwara clan in ancient times, is a big family in Kyoto, a big dog family among the big dog families.

The inheritance of the thousand-year-old family is still quite deep. Because the historical liquidation of Neon is not complete, many historical relics have been left behind, including these big families, who have completely liquidated the historical burden like Chongguo countries are still too small.

Of course, this is the era of the Edo Shogunate, so talking about modern times seems a bit distant.

Su Bai followed Sato into the territory of the Kujo family. Under the current neon social system, the so-called public ministers are actually the aristocratic class who occupy the land ownership, and the samurai class is the armed force used to protect the land and property of the aristocratic class. The opposite is the peasants.

Since ancient times, the oppression of the peasantry by the nobles has existed all the time, and the taxes collected almost account for about [-]% of the grain production.

In the ancient times of Chongguo, once the land was merged to a certain extent, it would inevitably be accompanied by peasant uprisings, and then overthrow the old dynasty, redistribute the land, and carry out a reshuffle of resources, because the most important resource in ancient times was land. The phenomenon did not change until modern times, when land was no longer the only important means of production. In Japan, it was a melee between the separatist regimes. Relying on constant internal fighting, the result was that one shogunate after another was changed.

Even if occasionally the emperor rises up and takes the initiative to rebel, he will never have the chance to regain power from the samurai regime and become completely reduced to a mascot.
