I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

A flash of knife light across the little toe of his left foot.

The little toe of his left foot was cut off directly, and the blood flowed all over the ground.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"I said, if you talk nonsense or don't answer my question immediately, I will cut you off." Ogata said lightly, "Don't have the slightest doubt about what I just said. I'm ugly. Up front—I've hacked someone into pieces and chopped them into minced meat."

"When it comes to cutting people, I'm very experienced. I don't feel a little bit guilty about cutting a human trafficker like you."

"I'll count to 2, if you don't come out with something that satisfies me, I'll just cut you off again."

Before Ogata started counting, An Tong hurriedly said:

"He, they are subordinates of an old friend of mine!"

"I like to soak in hot springs, so every winter, I will bring my subordinates to the hot springs in Ezo, and at the same time, I will turn to Ezo women to sell them for money."

"Just...I remember it was 4 years ago, when I was soaking in hot springs in Ezodi in winter as usual, I ran into a group of people."

"The leader of that gang is a very young samurai. He calls himself 'Kinoshita'. I don't know his full name, but he only told me his surname is Kinoshita."

--Kinoshita?

Ogata frowned instantly.

He was startled - during this time, this surname was often heard.

The last time I heard this surname was from Chanup in Red Moon Fortress.

According to Chanup, the muskets of their Red Moon Fortress were sold to them by a young businessman named Kinoshita. He not only sold them the precious muskets, but also taught them how to use the muskets.

After selling the musket and how to use it cheaply to Chanup and the others, Chanup never saw Kinoshita again.

Ogata did not interrupt Yitong, let Yitong continue.

"After Kinoshita learned that I was a pirate who made a living from human trafficking, and also had experience in abducting Einu people, he proposed to cooperate with me."

"He gave me money, and I caught shrimp for him."

"His requirements are very low, not limited to men, women and children, and the money is very generous, so I started to cooperate with him."

"We have cooperated...for about a year."

"A year later, Kinoshita suddenly told me that he no longer needed me to help him catch Ezo."

"Then, Kinoshita took people away from Ezodi. I never saw him again after that."

"However, in the past three years, Kinoshita still occasionally sent someone to say hello to me and kept in touch with me."

"Miyabe... that is, the handsome man you mentioned just now, who was sent by Kinoshita to greet me this year."

"Do you know who this Kinoshita is?" Ogata asked the second question, "Tell me all the information about this Kinoshita."

"I know very little about Kinoshita."

"He is very mysterious, he rarely tells me anything about him, and his subordinates are more and more tight-lipped."

"He is very young, about the same age as you. I guess... he should be a businessman who specializes in smuggling."

"Why do you say that?" Ogata asked back.

"Because he told me before he suspended his cooperation with me and left Ezo - he will go back to Ryukyu later."

"He told me: He has set up a stronghold in Ryukyu that is responsible for making money, and he will return to Ryukyu to concentrate on development for a period of time."

"Although he didn't tell me what method his stronghold in Ryukyu uses to make money, I guess he most likely makes money from smuggling."

"Ryukyu is very close to Japan, Tangtu, and Southeast Asian countries, and it is an excellent smuggling trade transit point."

"If he makes money from smuggling, then why he is so rich can also be explained."

"Although the smuggling trade is dangerous, it is a lucrative business. As far as I know - there is no one in the smuggling trade who is not wealthy."

"The businessman... has money..." Ogata muttered.

For some reason, Ogata recalled his friend who was also a businessman and a rich woman who was also extremely rich...

Ogata was lost in thought.

Yitong didn't dare to talk nonsense now, so seeing that Ogata was silent, he also closed his mouth tightly, waiting silently for Ogata to speak again.

After a while, Ogata finally spoke again:

"...Why did Kinoshita spend a lot of money to ask you to help him catch Ezo? What happened to those Ezo that were captured?"

"I don't know." Yi Tong said, "That Kinoshita is really mysterious! After we abducted Ezo, he always sent people to my stronghold to pick up people."

"As for where and what he took those abducted Ezos by us, I don't know at all!"

"I also asked out of curiosity for a while, but I didn't ask anything."

"That's it..." Ogata murmured softly.

Then he swung the knife violently and chopped off the little toe of Yitong's other foot.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa——I-I-I-I-I-I-I-had told me all I knew in time!"

"I always feel unbelievable." Ogata said lightly, "What did Kinoshita take the abducted Ezo to do, and you don't even know?"

"I, I really don't know!"

"Tell me the truth." Ogata ignored what Antong said just now, and cut off one of Yitong's toes with a knife again, "If you don't tell me the truth quickly, I will give you all your toes Cut it down."

"I really don't know what Kimita brought all those who had been abducted! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

……

……

10 minutes later—

——It seems that this guy really doesn't know anything...

Looking at Yitong's bare feet due to the shaved toes, Ogata thought to himself.

Ogata had cut off all 10 of his toes, and the ant still said he didn't know anything.

"Do you know where Kinoshita's stronghold in Ryukyu is exactly?"

"do not know……"

"Then... do you know China Village? It's the name of an Ezo settlement. Many young people in their village have disappeared and have not been seen so far. Were they abducted by you?"

After learning that Yitong had been hired by someone to abduct a large number of Ainu people, Owen immediately thought of the "disappearance incident" that had occurred, and there were many young and strong men in the village.

"Qina Village...?" Ant Tong widened his eyes slightly, "Wait... I have a little impression of this name... I remembered it! When I first cooperated with Kinoshita, Kinoshita told me about this settlement. "

"He told me—before he asked me to cooperate, he tried to catch Ezo on their own."

"They used to capture people from a certain village in the way of encirclement and rescue - first capture the people who went hunting in this village, and then wait for the village to send people to find the missing people, and then send these people who were sent to find people The villagers were taken away."

"Kinoshita said that because they were inexperienced, it was extremely difficult to catch."

"Because they realize that it is too difficult to catch people by their own strength, they will cooperate with me who has experience..."

"The name of that settlement... seems to be China Village... 噫!"

Yitong screamed because he found that Ogata's face became ugly, which made Yitong's heart rise to his throat.

"...Did Kinoshita mention 'Istosai the Executioner'? Did he say something like 'We must find Istosai'? Or did his subordinates ever ask you something like 'Do you know Istosai's whereabouts'?" question."

"No..." Yitong shook his head blankly.

"I think so too. Three years ago, when you parted from that Kinoshita, I should still have a low reputation."

Xu Fang paused.

"last question."

"Since you come to the hot springs in Ezo every winter, grab some Ainu women and sell them for money."

"Then on this ship of yours, is there any woman abducted by you now? Where is it held?"

"Those... abducted women were first loaded onto my other ship... and transported back to Iki Island ahead of time..."

"...Is that so..."

Seeing that Ogata finally finished asking questions, Yi Tong's face showed hope.

"I've... told you everything I know."

"Can... spare my life..."

Ogata glanced at Yitong.

"You bloodless human trafficker, is there any reason for me to spare your life?"

After finishing speaking, he swung his knife and slashed at Yitong's neck without hesitation.

Yitong's head flew out of his neck and fell to the ground, the fear that appeared on his face after hearing the last words Ogata said to him was still on his face.

Ogata shook off the blood attached to the knife, put the knife back into its sheath, flicked his sleeves, and strode out of Yitong's room with a sullen face.

……

……

"Why hasn't that Mashima Goro come back yet..." Isshiki's eyes now have conspicuous anxiety, "He probably won't...have some accident..."

Azuki, who was standing next to Isshiki, now also has a conspicuous look of anxiety in his eyes.

But Azuki's expression at this time is a bit more complicated than Isshiki - she pursed her lips lightly, as if thinking about something.

"Sure enough... I still have to go up and have a look... Ah! He's back!"

While shouting, Azuki pointed at the pirate ship——Ogata stood on the side of the ship, then jumped off the side of the ship, and landed firmly on the deck of the stowaway ship.

"You're finally back!" Isshiki hurried up to greet him, "How is it? What are those pirates doing now... huh?"

Yishi's footsteps stopped.

She looked at Ogata in astonishment... To be precise, she looked at Ogata's face.

Not just Isshiki.

At this time, everyone on the deck, be it Azuki, Naoshu, and the crew members, basically looked like Isshiki, staring blankly at Ogata's manless skin with expressions as if they saw a monster. mask face.

The person wearing the handsome mask turned out to be an ugly prostitute—you can freely imagine the past of this character.

The stowaways, the cabins where the stowaways live—

"I'm ashamed to say it, but I'm not used to seeing your real face now." A-Ming said jokingly.

Ogata smiled wryly and touched his face: "Now that there is no cover of the human skin mask, it will be much more troublesome to go to places like towns and cities where there are many people..."

The stowaway boat that Ogata was on set sail again and headed straight for land.

Behind the stowaway is a pirate ship that has turned into a ghost ship... To be precise, it is a pirate ship that has turned into a ghost ship and is burning.

The ship as huge as a hill is now wrapped in layers of flames.

Smoke filled the air and sparks flew.

The crackling of burning logs was mixed with the roar of falling logs.

Such a mighty battleship, under the erosion of the flames, shrunk little by little, turning into pieces and falling on the sea.

The ship swallowed and destroyed by the flames exudes a strange beauty from the inside to the outside.

Before leaving, Ogata collected all the lamp oil on the pirate ship, used the lamp oil as fuel, lit a fire, and turned the pirate ship into a fire ship.

It is impossible for Ogata to take away such a large pirate ship, and there is nowhere to put it away.

If you ignore this pirate ship and let this pirate ship just float on the sea, it will easily cause trouble.

After all, although this three-masted sailing ship is an outdated ship in Europe, it is undoubtedly a big and strong ship in Japan.

If some people with bad intentions get this ship, maybe they will use this powerful ship to do bad things.

Therefore, after Ogata thought about it, he decided that it would be better to burn the ship once and for all.
