Chapter 12 third quarter

After Maoqi sent Axian back to Miyoshi Town, he went back to Xiangyuan's own home for the time being.Boss Niang and Quan San are also waiting for him to come back, of course they are going to eat bonito sashimi. "Eating so extravagantly at noon will be punished by God." The head lady said while serving the meal: "It would be better to eat the bonito early. But at night, there are only pickles and ochazuke." "Where's Xiji?" "He went to distribute the bonito, and he should be back soon." Bonito sashimi is really boring to eat in Maoqi's mouth at the moment-it tastes like a thousand taels.

Mao Qi explained to Quan San what happened while eating.This was the shopkeeper of the shop, it would be most appropriate to send him to investigate Iseya. "As long as you give me half a day, you can find out about it." Quan San promises so.Just when lunch was almost over, Xiji came back in a panic. "Don't worry, I have your share." Quan San said with a smile.Seiji threw off the straw sandals, climbed into the tatami room, and said to Moshichi out of breath: "No, boss, Kajiya has finally made a move." Although Kajiya is a boat rental hotel, it is actually a lair of local gangsters.Kajio's boss is Katsuzo Kajito, a rogue, who is Moshichi's thorn in the side.

Collect venue fees from merchants, or collect protection fees from prostitutes, open casinos, etc.—no matter where, there are such party members who use illegal means to extract money from the locals.Among these party members, Kajiya Katsuzo is very easy to deal with.Moshichi and Katsuzo have been friends for a long time, so far they have never felt that they must really confront Kajiya, and must drive them away. "What hand are you moving?" "That's the owner of the bean curd sushi next to Tomioka Bridge." Saiji said. "The boy from Kajiya is looking for trouble with the boss."

The owner of Doubi Sushi in Tomioka Bridge set up a stall there half a year ago, and his identity is still unknown.When this man first came out to do business, the people from Kajiya immediately went to him as usual and found all kinds of faults, but for some reason, they finally scrambled away and never harassed him again. It turns out that Kajiya finally made a move on the boss? "What's the matter?" "There's a fish store called Isogen near Tomioka Bridge. When the boss wanted to buy bonito meat there, the young man from Kajiya went over to find trouble, saying that he wanted to buy the fish."

"It's the book." Mao Qitou Ziniang said to Xi Ji. "Ah? What? Mrs. Boss." "Fish cut into chunks for sashimi is called 'book'." Xiji stammered, "Yes, I understand. But, anyway, boss, that's the way it is." "The result was a commotion?" "Of course, it's a big commotion." Xi Jikou said in a frenzy. "The guy in Kajiya is called Shingoro. He is an irritable guy. He immediately pulled out his dagger. However, the owner of Doubi Sushi did not show any weakness. He knocked down Shingoro's dagger and subdued him on the spot, obviously without seeing his attack. .”

Maoqi and Quansan looked at each other. "After that, the owner of Yuba Sushi went back. I grabbed Shingoro and threw him into the office. The guy should still be unconscious in the office now." "Is the sushi boss empty-handed?" "Yes. Well, he's got great hands and feet." After dinner, Mao Qi changed his clothes, put on his jacket and went out.Although the weather was fine and even a little hot, since we were going to visit the owner of a big shop in Nihombashi, there was nothing we could do about it. Before going to Iseya, Moshichi went around to the office where Nokichi threw Shingoro into.Shingoro is already awake, he is a short, thick-browed, seemingly stubborn young man.His hands were tied, his chin had a conspicuous bruise, and he had a disgusted expression.The office clerk said that Seji entrusted him with the dangerous dagger for safekeeping.

"The owner of Doubi Sushi refused to pay the venue fee, so you're just looking for trouble?" When asked about it, Shingoro just snorted and said nothing. "Using food as an excuse to make trouble for others, don't you think it's shameful?" Shingoro widened his eyes and said: "It's obviously selling tofu skin sushi for children, but you want to eat bonito with others, it's too arrogant." "You are obviously a homeless person, but you also want to eat bonito with others, so you have a good idea." After Moshichi reprimanded the other party, he squatted down and looked directly at Shingoro.

"Did Katsuzo order you to do it?" Shingoro bawled, "Boss doesn't know anything." Mao Qi also thinks it should be so. "Not only do I not know, did he order not to do anything to the boss, let him go?" Otherwise, it is impossible that the owner of the bean curd sushi has not been harassed by Kajiya so far. From the very beginning, Moshichi always felt that there must be some connection between Kajiya Katsuzo and the owner of the bean curd sushi.This kind of thing happened today, maybe we can learn a little bit about the connection. "How? What did the boss say?"

Shingoro spat on the ground. "Boss doesn't know anything." So that's the case, Mao Qi thought.From the looks of it, this Shingoro seems dissatisfied with Katsuzo's practice of allowing the owner of Topi Sushi to continue doing business without paying the venue fee. "Really? That means you started the commotion on your own initiative? If Kajiya knew, he would probably scold you severely." Although Shingoro showed uneasy eyes, he didn't say a word. "How much money do you have with you now?" Shingoro didn't answer, Moshichi squatted beside him, and took out the wallet from his arms, which contained a few small gold coins and one or two gold coins.

"Very rich Su." Mao Qi stuffed the gold into her arms, and said: "This is the compensation money for Isogen who was disturbed. I will send it on your behalf. You go back to Kajiya and get scolded by the boss." After Moshichi untied Shingoro from the rope and kicked him out of the office, he took the dagger from the clerk and headed to Tomioka Bridge. Mao Qi handed over the money to Isomoto, and then went to visit the stall where the owner of Doubi Sushi set up a stall.The boss is already busy with his business. There are several customers standing and eating bean curd sushi, and some women are waiting to buy it back.

Maoqi left without saying hello to the boss, and then threw the dagger on Yongdai Bridge.
