"When my father first used this inhumane method to make medicine, I thought it was too inhumane, and I kept persuading my father not to do such cruel things again, and let my father let the poor girl go free."

"But my father said that countless people will be saved because of high-quality human gallbladders. Is there any reason not to do something that can benefit the public?"

"Heh." Gamiya sneered, "It really seems like something he would say."

"Father can mercilessly treat this girl as a drug tool, but I can't do it." Yoshitomo continued softly, "In order to alleviate the guilt in my heart as much as possible, I have been chatting with that girl and doing my best. comfort her"

"Although she has a very miraculous body, judging from her words and deeds, no matter how you look at it, she is a very ordinary girl."

"She said her name was Azhu, she was from Osaka, and she was the daughter of an ordinary craftsman."

"She was crying over and over and begging me to let her go and let her go home"

"I really couldn't bear this kind of torture to my conscience, so not long ago, I secretly let the girl go while my father was not at home."

"However, as soon as I let the girl go, my father came back. After finding that the girl had escaped, my father took me to chase. I thought that Edo was so big that my father might not be able to find the girl, but I don't know if it is God. What's the matter with being nostalgic for the father, but in the end, the father really chased the girl back."

"When I saw that my father actually found the girl, I wanted to stop my father and give the girl time to escape."

"but I"

A blatant look of guilt quickly appeared on Yi Chao's face.

"Without the courage to stand in front of my father, I could only watch helplessly as my father took the girl back again"

"It's not your fault." Jian Gong said softly, "You've tried your best to do what you can."

Hearing Mamiya's words of comfort, Yoshitomo's face turned slightly better.

"After my father brought the girl back, I was thinking about new ways to help the girl out of trouble."

"The girl was not familiar with Edo, so she was only allowed to escape alone, and she couldn't escape at all."

"So if you want that girl to escape from here, the best way is to let a reliable person lead her away."

At this time, Yoshitomo raised his eyes and looked at Mamiya.

"So that's how it is." Jian Gong said softly, "You just said that I am the best candidate to take that child away from here, that's what you meant."

Yoshitomo nodded lightly:

"I didn't think of the best person to take that girl away until just now, after you mentioned Rendan Wan, and it's right in front of me now."

"Have a trustworthy character, and also have the ability to bring people out of Edo."

"My lord brother, you are really timely."

Yoshitomo's face slowly became serious at this moment.

"Brother, I sincerely hope that the girl can escape from this place as soon as possible."

"So can I ask you to take that child away from here?"

late at night

Yoshitomo's room at the residence of Asemon Yamada

"My lord, it's almost time." Yoshitomo, who was neatly dressed, with both sleeves tied up with a kimono, turned to Mamiya, who also had his sleeves tied up with a kimono, in front of him. road.

"En." Mamiya grabbed the saber placed by his side, "Let's go."

The plan drawn up by Mamiya and Yoshitomo was quite simple and rough. They started to act late at night, went into the basement, and brought the girl out.

It was for this purpose that during the daytime today, Jiangong asked Yichao to go and Wen Xian pretended that he would spend the night here in order to chat with his brother for a while, and then stayed in Yichao's room, waiting for the night to come.

The current time, converted to the time unit of modern Earth, is about 11 o'clock in the evening.

At this point in time, the family of Yamada Asemon, from the Patriarch Fumaki to the ordinary attendants, had fallen asleep.

After Yoshitomo and Mamiya came out of the room one after the other, they walked towards the direction of the basement with silent steps.

Yamada Asemon is a family that often deals with corpses, so people who don't know much about the Yamada Asemon family have compiled many urban legends related to Yamada Asemon.

For example: In order to train the younger generation's "tolerance" to the corpse, Yamada Asemon would force the young children in the clan to eat in front of the corpse since childhood.

Another example: Yamada Asemon's house piled up with corpses like mountains.

These urban legends are basically nonsense.

For example, "The Yamada Asemon family will force the younger generation in the family to eat in front of the corpse" is pure nonsense.

But "pile up a mountain of corpses at home" is also right and wrong.

Yamada Asemon would indeed bring back the corpses that had just been executed at the execution ground and put them at home, but he would not store as many corpses as mountains.

Because these corpses are consumed quickly, the business of "knife testing" has always been very prosperous, and there is no shortage of customers. The corpses brought home in the morning may be dragged to others for knife testing in the afternoon.

Because the corpse is consumed quickly, there is no need to worry that the corpse will stink after being stored for too long.

If there is a corpse that stinks, it will be cleaned up in time. Yamada Asemon is not a pervert without a nose, and the corpse will feel sick when it stinks.

The place where the corpses are stored is the basement.

Below the mansion of the Yamada Asemon family, there is a very spacious basement. The basement is relatively cool, so the corpse is stored in the basement, and the corpse is not easy to rot.

And the basement under the mansion is also a pharmacy for refining human gallbladder pills.

Yoshitomo: "Here we are"

Mamiya and Yoshitomo were standing at the corner of a remote corridor in the mansion.

There is nothing here, nothing.

In the corner of this empty corridor, Yoshitomo squatted down, took out an iron key, and inserted the key into an inconspicuous hole at his feet. After turning it a few times, the corridor under his feet issued a "click" " a soft sound.

"Brother, let's go." Yi Chao said while holding the key and pulling it up.

squeak

Just like the door was pulled open, the key still inserted in the hole was the doorknob, and Yoshitomo, holding the "doorknob" and lifting it up, easily lifted a large wooden board in the corridor under his feet.

Behind the wooden boards, there are stairs extending underground. Because the light is too dim, you can only see the stairs leading to the ink-like darkness.

Mamiya took out the oil lamp prepared in advance and lit it.

"Let's go." Jian Gong took the lead and walked down the stairs to the basement.

The key to the basement door, only two people have the patriarch Wen Xian and Yichao who has been confirmed as the next patriarch.

Because of the dim light and the narrow stairs, both Mamiya and Yoshitomo walked slowly.

When both of them were walking down slowly, Yoshitomo who was walking behind Mamiya suddenly said coldly:

"Thank you, brother"

"no need thank me?"

"Thank you for your willingness to help me set that girl free"

"There's nothing to thank." Mamiya said lightly, "I just don't want my father Fumaki Yamada Asemon to continue doing such inhuman things."

"And the girl suffered such a miserable experience, it is really hard for me to turn a blind eye."

In fact, Mamiya concealed a reason from Yoshitomo. The reason why he was willing to save the Osaka girl named Azhu was also because this girl might have something related to "immortality" that they had been investigating for a long time. clue.

After all, the wound heals extremely quickly, and even the internal organs can repair themselves, all of which are consistent with the characteristics of the "immortal body" that Gamiya and the others recognize.

Therefore, no matter whether it is public or private, Jiangong can't abandon the girl.

"Speaking of which," Mamiya turned his head at this moment and looked at Yi Chao behind him, "Since you and Wen Xian are the only two people who know about the girl's existence and also have the key to the basement, then what did you do last time? After letting that girl go, didn't Wen Xian ask you anything?"

"No." Yi Chao shook his head, "After I released that girl privately last time, my father must have suspected that I did it."

A complicated smile appeared on Yoshitomo's face.

"After all, no matter how you look at it, I have the highest suspicion."

"But my father hasn't told me anything until now."

"He probably wants to let me go."

"After successfully rescuing the girl this time, Wen Xian may not let you go." Gamiya turned his gaze back to the front, "Have you made up your mind yet?"

"Yeah." Yi Chao's eyes were firm, "I've made up my mind a long time ago. At most, I was beaten by my father."

During the conversation, the two had already descended to the bottom of the stairs.

There was a bloody smell in the air in the basement.

Although the basement has vents designed so that corpses will be disposed of immediately if they stink, this place is always a place where corpses are piled up, so the smell is naturally not good.

"Brother, here." Yoshitomo walked to the front of the palace and led the way for the palace.

As Yoshiki walked towards the corner of the basement, Mamiya used an oil lamp to light the candles hanging on the wall along the way.

The originally dark basement gradually became brighter as one candle after another was illuminated.

Corpses are often piled up randomly, but until now, no corpse has been seen, probably because the corpses have been used up, this is also a common occurrence.

The basement is not spacious, and after a while, Mamiya saw a girl tied by an iron chain sitting in the corner of the basement ahead.

A thick iron chain was connected to the wall at one end, and tied around the girl's neck at the other end.

The iron chain is fairly long, so the girl's range of activities is fairly wide, covering a small half of the basement.

Within its range of activities, there are toilets, food, clean water, and a change of clothes.

Mamiya saw the girl, and the girl naturally also saw Mamiya and Yoshitomo.

Looking at Mamiya and Yoshitomo who were slowly walking towards her, the girl's face first showed panic at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But after seeing that the leader was Yoshitomo, the frightened look on the girl's face gradually dissipated, and she became a little calmer.

"Azhu, don't be afraid, it's me, Yoshitomo." Yichao quickened his pace a little, then knelt down on one knee in front of the girl, Azhu.

"Master Yoshitomo" the girl looked timidly at Mamiya standing behind Yoshitomo, "Who is this?"

At this time, Mamiya secretly said in his heart:

It seems that what Yoshitomo told me before that he often chats with this girl is not a lie.

According to the scene in front of him at this moment, it is not difficult to see that the girl trusts Yoshitomo very much.

"Don't be afraid, this is my elder brother, he came to rescue you with me."

"Meet you for the first time." Mamiya bowed to Azhu, "I'm Shimomiya Kurō. Don't be afraid, just as Yoshitomo said, I'm here to rescue you."

Now the distance between Jian Gong and A Zhu is only a few feet away, so Jian Gong can see A Zhu's appearance more clearly.

He is only about 15 years old, and his appearance is not good-looking, but he is not ugly either.

She was wearing clean clothes, although her complexion was not very good, but her spirit was much better than what Mamiya imagined.

Mamiya originally thought that being locked up in this dark basement for so long and being frequently cut open to extract bile, the girl's mental state must be very bad.

Yoshitomo seemed to see through what Mamiya was thinking at this time, he explained aloud:

"Every time my father takes gallbladders, he will first give Azhu a strong drug to relieve his pain. I'm sorry, Azhu, I won't talk about it."

Yichao's explanation came to an abrupt end because Azhu, who was in front of him, heard the word "take gall" from his mouth, his cheeks turned extremely pale, and his body trembled immediately.

"These words, let's talk slowly later." Jiangong said, "Give the child the iron chain first."

slap, slap, slap, slap

Suddenly footsteps sounded from behind Mamiya and Yoshitomo, interrupting Mamiya's conversation.

The next moment when they heard the footsteps, whether it was Mamiya or Yoshitomo, the expressions of the two of them changed.

The sound of footsteps came from a dark place where the candlelight behind them could not reach.

Following the sound of footsteps, a figure slowly emerged from the darkness.

The person who emerged from the darkness was a middle-aged man with a black and purple sword on his waist.

Chapter 610 Flying like a dragon in the night sky of Edo! 【5000】

Wen Xian's stature is not tall, and his height is only about 160.

But Wen Xian, who was walking towards Jian Gong and Yi Chao at this time, made them both feel like a mountain was slowly pressing towards them

Astonishment and fear emerged in Yi Chao's eyes.

Compared with the uprising dynasty, the emotions floating in the depths of the palace's eyes are much more complicated.

At this moment, looking at Bunxian who appeared from the darkness, for some reason, Mamiya recalled the day five years ago when he broke with his father and was removed from the name of Yamada Asemon by his angry father.
