I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Then he showed a wry smile with complicated emotions.

That night

Kyoto, Hiryanagi Town, Wisteria House, in an inconspicuous alley outside the house

"Is that the Wisteria House?" A-Machi looked at the Wisteria House not far away and murmured.

"So are we really going to that casino to find that Big Buddha Kaoru?" Azuki looked at Fuma, then at Ogata, "What if that Big Buddha Kaoru happens to be in another casino tonight? This morning, Didn't Yinxin say which casino Dafoxun would go to, it was completely random?"

"We can only fight for luck." Feng Mo scratched his shiny bald head, "Besides this stupid method, we have no other method available."

"A-Machi, A-Zhu, you stay outside." Ogata lowered the bamboo hat on his head slightly, "It's fine for me and Feng-sama to go into the casino to find Daibutsu Kaoru."

"You want to go in with Master Feng?" A-Ming asked back.

"You can't just let Mr. Feng go in alone, can you?" Ogata smiled, "It's safer and more efficient for two people to take care of each other and look for the Great Buddha Xun together."

"I also want to go with you." A Zhu hurriedly said, "I want to see what the casino is like."

"It's good that you and A-Ming stay outside to help us guard." Ogata said, "It's too conspicuous for a woman to enter the casino. It will attract a lot of people's attention. If possible, I want to do it in a low-key and inconspicuous way." , Get rid of that Great Buddha family."

Ogata deliberately emphasized the tone of the words "low-key" and "inconspicuous".

Hearing what Ogata said, Azuki pursed his lips, showing displeasure, but didn't say anything more.

"In short, the security outside will be left to the two of you." Ogata straightened the kerchief covering his mouth and nose.

Going to the casino to gamble is a rather shameful thing, so many people who cherish their reputation and do not want to be recognized by their acquaintances will use various methods to cover their faces when they go to the casino to gamble.

Therefore, Ogata's current appearance of wearing a bamboo hat and a face scarf is not uncommon in casinos.

"Master Feng, let's go."

"Yeah." Feng Mo joked again at this time, "Working together with you feels like the combination of the two of us, maybe even the shogun can assassinate."

"It would be great if I really have this ability." Ogata responded in a joking tone.

Regarding the plot of Ogata’s first arrival in Ogahara, you can review Chapter 5 of Volume 297, Another Kyoto: Ogahara, and the plot related to Butterfly sound, and you can review Chapter 299, Shimabara Elegy.

Chapter 618 The warrior who provoked both Yidao Zhai and Fuma [6400]

On the surface, Wisteria House is an ordinary, unpopular two-story izakaya.

After entering the first floor of the wisteria house, Ooman saw that there were very few people drinking in the wisteria house at this time, it can be said that there were very few.

There were only 4 tables with guests in total, and the total number of guests was less than 10.

With few guests, the atmosphere naturally seemed a little deserted.

A middle-aged man leaned over behind the counter, fiddling with the abacus, probably trying to settle accounts.

Ogata and Fumo walked quickly to the counter according to the way Yinxin told them to enter the casino this morning, and whispered to the middle-aged man who was lying behind the counter to settle accounts:

"The Ten Thousand Buddhas."

As soon as Ogata finished speaking, the middle-aged man's hands fiddled with the abacus stopped immediately.

Then he raised his head, glanced at Ogata and Fuma, and shouted to the backstage of the izakaya:

"Kaiichiro!"

Boom, boom, boom...

As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, the footsteps of the powerful Masao Ogata and the others resounded loudly.

In a blink of an eye, a very strong young man came to Ogata and the others.

"Miichiro." The middle-aged man said to the burly young man in a flat tone, "These two guests want to buy our wine, take them to the wine cellar."

"Yes!" After Koichiro responded loudly, he politely bowed to the two of Ogata, and then made a "please" gesture, "You two, please follow me."

Koiichiro led Ogata and Fuma towards the stairs leading to the second floor.

And those guests who were drinking on the first floor didn't look at Ogata and the others the whole time, as if they were used to it.

The second floor of the wisteria house is a series of airtight rooms.

With the stairway as the center, these airtight rooms are arranged in a tight "mouth" shape.

After reaching the second floor, Koiichiro casually opened the door of one of the rooms.

The moment the door was opened, a gust of suffocating heat, sweat, and other strange smells and smells poured out along the opened door, rushing towards Ogata and Fumo .

Behind the door, there are faces immersed in the world of gambling, excited, excited and sad because of gambling.

"Both, please come in." Meiichiro said.

After Ou nodded to Meiichiro, he and Fuma entered the room in front of him one after the other.

After the two of Ogata entered, Meiichiro closed the door for them very intimately.

The world inside the room and the world behind the room... It's like two worlds.

After entering the room, Ogata found that the walls of all the rooms on the second floor seemed to have been removed, and all the rooms were connected together, so that a huge casino could be assembled.

There are various gambling games in the casino.

Ogata knew nothing about gambling, so he couldn't understand most of the gambling games. The only gambling game he recognized was "roll the dice and bet on odd or even".

The vibe in the casino is pretty quiet.

The voice that appeared most frequently was the voice of the "staff" asking the gamblers to bet.

From time to time, there were some excited low growls of winning money in the bet, or painful whines of losing money in the bet.

The main reason why the casino is so quiet and everyone tries not to make any noise is to keep a low profile.

As early as hundreds of years ago in the Heian era, the Japanese government severely cracked down on gambling.

In the current Edo period, the Edo shogunate also adopted a strictly guarded attitude towards gambling.

According to the regulations of the Edo shogunate, all samurai who gamble in casinos will have their samurai status removed and become citizens.

Even if it is so harsh on warriors, it is not necessary to say how harsh it is on civilians.

However, things like casinos have been repeatedly banned in modern times when the government has strong control, let alone in ancient times.

Although the Edo shogunate has been cracking down on gambling, casinos are still popping up all over Japan. One day the government closes an old casino, and tomorrow there will be ten new casinos.

In recent years, it has happened to be the best period for the development of casinos.

The "Great Tianming Famine" has just passed 3 years. In the past 3 years, whether it is the shogunate or the vassal states in various places, they have focused their energy on restoring a series of traumas caused by the "Great Tianming Famine", and have no time to take into account the blow to the casinos. Therefore, in recent years, casinos all over Japan can be said to have ushered in a rare period of development.

But although the government has no time to take into account the blow to the casino, you can't be too arrogant.

So there is an unwritten rule: try to keep as quiet as possible when gambling in the casino.

Of course, if you open a casino in an area that is absolutely difficult for the government to control, such as in some unshitty countryside, then you don't need to follow this unspoken rule, and you can make as much noise as you want.

Both Ogata and Fuma saw the portrait of Daibutsu Kaoru from Yin Xinna today. The appearance of Daibutsu Kaoru is quite recognizable.

He is a rather fat man with a fat head and big ears. He has a full three-tiered chin without bowing his head.

Pretending to be picking their favorite gambling game, the two walked around the casino while searching for Kaoru Daibutsu.

However, after walking around, I didn't find anyone with matching features.

Ogata and the others had already expected that this would probably happen.

They didn't expect to find Dafo Xun who happened to be gambling here as soon as they entered the casino.

For this situation, Ogata and the others had prepared corresponding countermeasures before entering the casino, that is, to wait.

Wait for a while to see if you can wait until the Buddha comes out.

If Big Buddha Kaoru does not appear for a long time, it means that Big Buddha Kaoru should go to another casino to gamble tonight, and then he can only consider himself unlucky and unlucky.

During the waiting process, of course, you can't just stand there so stupidly. Doing so is no different from pasting a piece of paper with "I'm suspicious" on your body.

If you want to make yourself look unsuspicious, the best way is naturally to blend in with the gamblers around you and do what a gambler should do.

"Brother." Feng Mo lowered his voice and said to Ogata, "What do you know?"

Ogata shook his head: "The only thing I know how to play is to guess odd or even."

"Coincidentally, me too. I can only play odd-even guessing. There happens to be someone who can play odd-even guessing over there. Let's go there to kill time."

Just a few steps away from Ogata and the others, there is a booth where you can play "guess odd or even", and there are just a few vacancies.

There are booths where you can exchange chips throughout the casino.

The chips of this casino are wooden sticks one by one. There are 3 types of wooden sticks in total: brown wooden sticks representing 100 cash, black wooden sticks that represent consistent patterns, and yellow wooden sticks that represent one tael of gold.

Neither of them had any interest in gambling, and they both decided to participate in gambling just to prevent others from being suspicious of them, so they only exchanged some brown chips of the lowest value.

When the two sat side by side in the empty seats of the "guess odd and even" booth closest to them with the newly exchanged chips, a new game of gambling just started.

Hu Zhen, who had just rolled the dice, spread out his hands at this time, and let all the gamblers place their bets.

There are large pieces of paper with "single" or "double" written on it between the pot shaker and the gamblers.The gamblers put their chips on the big paper with "odd" or "even".

"Brother." Feng Mo asked, "Do you think it's single or double?"

"Put one at will." Ogata shrugged.

Ogata has always been insensitive to gambling.

In his eyes, "ten gambles and ten cheats" is an eternal truth.

Those who run casinos are best at using all kinds of illusions to give you the illusion that the game is fair.

Trying to get rich by gambling is pure nonsense.

Because he doesn't like gambling, Ogata doesn't want to spend any energy on it.

And Feng Mo happened to be a person who had no interest in gambling, and he didn't intend to play this "guessing odd or even" seriously.

Hearing Ogata say "put one at random", Fumo casually placed a chip on the large piece of paper with "order" written on it closest to the two of them.

……

……

Right now

Inside an inn diagonally opposite the wisteria house

"Here, drink some water."

Hiding by the window, Yamauchi, who was carefully monitoring the wisteria house, looked movedly at Hasegawa who was handing him a glass of water.

"Thank you!" Yamauchi took the water from Hasegawa flattered.

"How?" Hasegawa asked after handing the water glass to Yamauchi, "Have you seen anyone who seems to be Kaoru Daibutsu or Shuichiro Shirakawa?"

"Not yet." Yamauchi shook his head.

"Then continue to monitor." Hasegawa said, "If you have any news, report it immediately."

"Yes!"

After learning that the "Great Buddha Clan" and the "Blood Fog Crowd" are likely to cooperate, Hasegawa started the investigation at an alarming speed.

He set the "Great Buddha Clan" as the breakthrough point, and along the vine of "Great Buddha Clan", he touched the melon "Blood Mist Clan".

As early as last night, Hasegawa asked for all the information related to the "Great Buddha Clan" from Shenshan.

Shenshan has been eyeing the "Great Buddha Clan" for a long time.

Since the Tianming fire broke out three years ago, there are still many burned ruins in Kyoto that have not yet been rebuilt.

In order to rebuild Kyoto, Kamiyama was already busy enough. As a result, more than half a year ago, the group of lunatics headed by Kunieda Junroku who planned to destroy Kyoto came up with a bunch of moths. It's busy now.

Originally, Shenshan was already so busy that he wanted to divide himself into two halves, and he no longer had the extra energy to take care of the Yakuzas in Kyoto. As long as they don't do too much, Shenshan will take the attitude of "pretending not to see it first" .

However, the "Great Buddha Clan" has become more and more arrogant since they started to act 3 months ago, making Shenshan intolerable.

Therefore, he had secretly mobilized some of his manpower a long time ago to prepare for cleaning up the "Great Buddha Clan" in the future.

The results are quite gratifying.

Not only did they collect a lot of information about the "Great Buddha Clan", but they also bought a high-ranking member of the "Great Buddha Clan" who held a lot of real power and had a close relationship with the Great Buddha Kaoru.

This afternoon, with the help of Shenshan, Hasegawa secretly met with the high-level executive of the "Great Buddha Clan" who was bribed.

Although this person knew little about the "Blood Fog Crowd", he also revealed a very useful piece of information to Hasegawa. Kaoru, tonight will go to their largest casino: Wisteria House.
