There are a total of 8 people in the room-Shuntaro, Shintaro, and 6 Shinobu who is in the leadership of Shiranui.

　　When proposing the selection of the new Balrog, Shintaro and 4 of the 6 Kaminaka cast their eyes on Shintaro—what they meant, it was self-evident.

　　 Shintaro even bluntly said that he wanted Shintaro to be the 13th generation of Balrog.

　　 There are only 2 Kamininchi who did not look at Shuntarou.

　　 After Shintaro's voice fell, one of the two Shinnin in Shintaro who hadn't looked at Shintaro said in a deep voice:

　　 "Although it is true that someone should be promoted to succeed the Balrog."

　　 "But are you too anxious to choose the successor of the Balrog?"

　　 "It's not in a hurry." A certain name replied, "We don't know that the fire is not the shogunate. The flame demon's "name" does not have so many troublesome rules."

　　 "He passed away on the day when he took office as Balrog, and then a suitable ninja was launched on the same day to take the name of Balrog. In our Shiranui history, this kind of thing has never happened many times."

"...Well, if you want to elect a new Balrog immediately, then I don’t care." The ninja who questioned the election of the new Balrog in such anxiousness just glanced at Shuntarou, "But forgive me. To put it bluntly, I do not agree to let Lord Shuntaro succeed the Balrog."

　　 "I believe that Shintaro is the most suitable candidate to succeed the Balrog."

"...I also don't agree to let Shuntaro-sama succeed the Balrog." The other two Kaminaka who did not look at Shuntaro just now finally expressed his opinion. "But I think it is most suitable for the successor to the Balrog. The person in this position is none other than Gokutaro-sama."

　　 "Speaking of Lord Gitaro..." A certain Kaminino looked around, "Why Lord Gitaro still hasn't come back?"

　　 "Someone has been sent to find Mr. Jitarou." Another Kaminin said, "Maybe in a while, Mr. Jitarou will be back."

　　 In order to avoid causing Shuntaro’s dissatisfaction, few people know that Gokutaro’s mission tonight is to go to Yoshihara to kill.

　　 Many people, including Shun Taro, only know that Gokutaro has a mission tonight, but they don't know the specific details of the mission.

　　 "I am the one who is the least suitable to succeed the Balrog." Shintaro shook his head, "I am not good at dominating others, and my popularity and strength are not enough to convince the crowd."

　　 "Shuntaro is the one who has the highest expectations and is the most suitable person to succeed the Balrog."

　　 The Shinobu, who just elected Shintaro as the name of the flame demon, didn't buy into Shintaro's words just now.

　　 "Shintaro-sama, please don't be humble!"

　　 "Your wisdom, throughout Shiranui, no one can match you."

　　 "We need your wisdom."

　　 "Even if I didn't take the name of Balrog, I can continue to contribute my wisdom to Shiranui." Shintaro said lightly.

"I think Gokutaro is the most suitable person to succeed the flame demon." The upper Shinobu who supported Gokutaro spoke again just now, "Gokutaro is coarse and fine, and he is in the middle and lower Shinobi. Master Taro also has a very high popularity."

　　...

　　 Shintaro and others fought fiercely over the issue of "who will succeed the thirteenth generation of Balrog".

　　 Everyone put forward their own opinions.

　　 The eloquence of the 2 Shintaro and Gokutaro, who supported Shintaro and Gokutaro, was pretty good.

　　Even though they are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of the number of people, they never give up and fight for reasons.

　　 Listening to these people's comments, Shun Taro felt his head swell more and more.

　　 The series of abnormal changes that happened tonight made Shintaro’s brain pain and swelling due to “overload”.

　　 Now, listening to Shintaro and others' talk about the famous Balrog, Shintaro feels his head hurts and swells even more, and he can’t even think about it carefully...

　　 "Don't make any noise."

　　 Shun Taro said in a tone that is not serious or serious.

　　Mingming's voice is not loud, and the tone is not so sonorous.

　　 But after Shintaro uttered these words, Shintaro and others immediately closed their mouths.

　　 then turned to look at Shuntaro.

　　 "There is no need to rush to choose a new Balrog."

　　 Shun Taro said in a hurry.

　　 "There has been too much happening tonight, and I think many of you here must be just like me now, and they are very confused."

　　 "In this messy state of mind, nothing can be thought of, nothing can be discussed."

　　 "Now everyone will disband first."

　　 "Let’s go down and rest first."

　　 "The right person for the new Balrog, it's never too late to discuss this kind of thing."

　　Shuntaro's words brought the contemplation of many people present.

　　 "...Shottaro-sama is right." Shintaro said softly, "My heart is indeed messed up now...I can't think about it at all, so I just do as Shuntaro-sama said, first disband and take a break."

　　 "Um... I agree."

　　 "Agree..."

　　 After the name Kaminin expresses his position, others have also expressed their agreement to Shun Taro's proposal to "adjourn the meeting".

　　...

　　...

　　Edo, Yoshihara—

　　 "Shiro Biebe-sama." Keiemon, who was covered with smoke on his face and a piece of black and white on his clothes, reported to Shiro Biebe, "The flame has been successfully isolated."

　　 "Hmm..." Shiro Heibei's tired face from just now finally appeared with a faint smile, "Very good. But don't be careless. Don't let your guard down until the flames are completely extinguished."

　　 Keiemon: "Yes!"

　　 "Keiemon, since the flames are now isolated, you don't need to demolish the house anymore, right?"

　　 "Yes! I don't need it anymore!"

　　 "Then help me, there is still a lot of freshly removed wood to be cleaned up. Let's move these wood out together."

"Yes!"

　　 Shiro Hebei is now at the forefront of fire fighting.

　　 It’s also a coincidence that Shiro Biebe happened to be working late at night at the Shiro Biebe Club because of his busy schedule.

　　Considering that it was late at night, Shiro Biebei simply stayed overnight in the clubhouse.

　　Because it was too late, or too lazy to walk home, I just took a rest at my office—this kind of thing, Shiro Bingbei often does.

　　 Before the fire broke out, Shiro Biebe was sleeping soundly in the clubhouse.

　　 After learning that there was a fire in the western part of Yoshihara, and that the fire was out of control, Shiro Biebe was scared to death.

　　 quickly ordered the club officials who were still on duty to rush to the fire site at full speed, and at the same time rushed to the front line of fire fighting.

　　Shiro Biebei didn't even have time to put on his clothes, so he hurried to the place of the fire in a yukata for sleeping.

　　 After Shiro Bingbei led all the officials on duty at the clubhouse to reach the fire, the first batch of officials from the town fire department also arrived at Yoshihara.

The officials of 　　 Town Fire Fighting are professional firefighters. They judged at a glance-the fire has spread, and it is no longer possible to extinguish it by human power. All the nearby combustibles must be removed, and then it should be naturally extinguished.

　　 This is the most commonly used in this era, and it is also the only useful fire fighting method in the face of large-scale fires.

　　 Due to the limited level of technology, people in this era do not have very powerful fire-extinguishing equipment.

　　 If the fire is small, you can also use buckets and some simple watering devices to extinguish the fire.

　　 But if the fire becomes large, there is no other way than to remove the combustibles around the fire site and create a barrier to extinguish the flame naturally.

　　The biggest combustibles are naturally the houses made of wood and paper.

　　 So once there is a fire with a large fire intensity, the scene you see at the fire scene is not that the officials of the fire fighting department take buckets and other things to put out the fire.

　　 It was the officials of the town fire elimination, holding a sledgehammer and a small cart, and smashed and demolished all the houses that had not been burned by the flames.

　　 After judging that the fire could not be extinguished by human force, the town fire officers who rushed to Yoshiwara immediately took out a sledgehammer and ran aggressively towards the houses around the fire scene.

　　 The staff of the club, headed by Shiro Biebe, naturally followed this group of professional "house demolition staff" to demolish houses.

　　 Some strong and extraordinarily brave civilians also spontaneously joined the ranks of putting out fires and demolishing houses.

　　Shiro Hebei is not young, and with such a big hammer, he can't even swing it three times.

　　 So when Shiro Biebe came to the front line of the fire, he only did a relatively simple job of moving the smashed wood onto a cart.

　　 Actually, it doesn't matter if Shiro Biebe does nothing.

　　 As the top boss of the Shiro Bingbei club, as long as he stands on the front line of the fire fighting, he can greatly boost the morale of the officers in the club.

　　 Although the houses around the fire scene have been successfully demolished and the flames have been successfully isolated, there are still many houses on the ground that need to be dealt with and have just been demolished.

　　 So some of the people who were in charge of demolishing the house just now, while still having some strength, turned into "cleaners."

　　 The other people who are exhausted find a place to rest and regain their strength.

　　 Just as Shiro Hei and Keiemon joined forces to carry a huge wooden pillar onto the cart nearby, a middle-aged man with a big belly hummed and ran towards Shiro Hei.

　　 "Shiro Biebe-sama! I finally found you!"

　　 This potbellied middle-aged man, Shiro Biebe knew.

　　He is the owner of Meiya.

　　 "What's wrong?" Shiro Biebe asked, "Why are you panicking?"

　　 "Shiro Hebei-sama! It's not good!"

　　 Seeing that the Umeya boss looked around, he put his lips to Shiro Hebei's ear, lowered the volume, and said in a low voice with anxious face:

　　 "The wind chime, she is gone...!"

　　 "It's gone?" Shiro Hei's eyes widened, "What the **** is going on? What happened? Tell me clearly."

　　 The disappearance of any wandering girl is a very serious matter for the Shirobei Club that is in charge of managing Yoshihara.

　　 It's all the same for ordinary wanderers who disappeared, let alone the oiran disappeared.

　　 When he heard the words "The wind chime is gone" from Miyuki's mouth, Shiro Biebe's direct heartbeat speeded up directly due to tension and shock.

　　 "After learning that there was a fire, we immediately woke up all the wandering girls who met the plum house and asked them to leave the plum house quickly."

　　 Seeing the plum house's owner crying, he looked like he might cry at any time.

　　 "I personally took someone to the husband's room to wake up the husband, but no matter how he called, the husband would not respond."

　　 "When I realized something was wrong, I led someone into the husband's room."

　　 "After entering the room, I discovered that there was no one in the room, and the husband was nowhere to be seen."

　　 "I searched everywhere, but I couldn't find a husband."

　　 "No matter who you ask, everyone says that they haven't seen the husband."

　　 "I asked the husband's bald to check the room, and found that the husband's clothes specially used to receive guests, and some headdresses were missing."

　　 The more Shiro Hebei listened, the darker his face became.

　　 Tonight, Yoshihara burst into flames first, and then the wind chime Taifu disappeared.

　　 Even the "field-tested" Shiro Hebei can't help but feel a deep sense of fatigue now.

　　 "...Tonight is really not peaceful..." Shiro Biebe frowned and let out a long, tired sigh.

　　 "Shiro Biebe-sama." Seeing the anxious sweat on the face of Umeya’s owner, "I suspect that she may have been abducted by someone. Hurry up and organize the staff to find the husband."

　　 "...Um. Keiemon." Shirobi turned his head and looked at Keiemon next to him, "Go to the newspaper officer at the observatory. I'll take someone to see Umeya to see what's going on."

　　 "Hmm!" After Keiemon nodded vigorously, he threw down the broken wooden pillar in his hand and ran towards the Yoshihara gate.

　　...

　　...

　　Edo, Shiranuiri, the residence of Shuntaro—

　　 After striding back to his residence, Shun Taro did not light up the lamp, did not change his clothes, and did not remove the saber on his back.

　　 After returning to the residence, he lay directly on the tatami, facing the ceiling.

　　 There is only the sound of worms all around, making Shuntarou feel very comfortable.

　　 Just now Shintaro and the others were making a mess of intense discussions, and Shintaro was so noisy that he couldn't even calm down and think about it.

　　 After being in a quiet environment now, Shuntarou felt his brain gradually relax.

　　 The jumbled ball of yarn in his mind was combed one by one into clear parallel lines.

　　 Shun Taro prioritized the series of events that happened tonight.

　　 The most urgent and urgent thing to do is naturally to find out who killed the Balrog.

　　 The biggest suspect at the moment is undoubtedly the Iga Ninja who suddenly disappeared.

　　 But Shintaro didn't foolishly believe that it was the Iga ninja who killed the Balrog.

　　 There are too many people who have sufficient motivation to kill the Balrog.

　　 It may be an ordinary ninja in the village who has been resenting the Balrog because of something.

　　 It is possible that a shogunate official who couldn't understand Shiranuili bought murder.

　　 At the same time... it may also be someone from the "Four Heavenly Kings".

　　 When the Balrog dies, the next Balrog must be selected from the "Four Heavenly Kings".

　　 So from the point of view of motivation, Shintaro, Gokutaro, and Shintaro are the most motivated to poison the Balrog—especially Shintaro who has the most hope to succeed the Balrog.

　　 It’s just that—it’s impossible for anyone in the village to dare to say clearly that “the Four Heavenly Kings may also be the murderer of the Balrog”.

　　 The "Four Heavenly Kings" are the highest leadership in the village second only to the Balrog. Anyone with a slight head dare not suspect that the "Four Heavenly Kings" killed the Balrog on the bright side.

　　Shuntaro guessed: There must be many people in the village who suspect that the death of the Balrog is related to someone in their "Four Heavenly Kings", but they dare not say it clearly, they only dare to discuss it in private.

　　 Ranked the people who had sufficient motivation to kill the Balrog, and could find that the group of Iga ninjas, headed by Hanosuke, had the least motive to kill the Balrog.

　　 "It's really troublesome..." Shun Taro slowly got up from the tatami and muttered.

　　Shuntaro has long felt that the night can be so long...

　　...

　　...

　　Edo, somewhere—

　　The wind chime master felt a sound from a distance.

　　 "As expected of Yoshihara's oiran, she looks really beautiful."

　　 There is a voice from afar.

　　 "This is the first time I have seen such a beautiful woman."

　　The voice gradually approached.

　　 "Tsk tusk tusk... the skin is so delicate."

　　 Feeling consciousness and strength gradually gushing out.

　　 "Sennosuke-sama, let's touch this oiran, let's touch her hand, and don't do anything else."

　　The dark world is shot into white light.

　　 "...Huh?" As the consciousness became clear, Mr. Wind Chime slowly opened his eyes.

　　 As soon as she opened her eyes, the wind chime master saw four young people standing in front of her.

　　 These four young people are all wearing strange black clothes.

　　 glanced at the four black-clothed youths standing in front of her, and the wind chime began to look around.

　　 This is a small and narrow room without any furniture.

　　 There are only tatami mats on the floor, and only a narrow impassable window on the wall.

　　 There is only one candle in the room that emits candlelight, so the view in the room is dim.

　　 The husband looked down and saw that his hands were tied behind his back, and his ankles were tied tightly with twine.

　　 She was tied firmly with twine, so she was placed horizontally on the tatami, unable to move.

　　 After the husband woke up, the four black-clothed youths standing in front of the husband also noticed the husband's awakening.

"Tao Fu." One of the four people in black, the "Tear Mole Youth" with three moles of tears under his left eye, walked slowly to the front of Tai Fu Feng Chime, and then knelt down on one knee, trying to keep his vision and The husband was even, "You are awake."

　　 "Who are you?" The husband took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then questioned the "Tear Mole Youth" in a deep voice.

When 　　 questioned this "tear mole youth", the memory before the coma popped up little by little in the head of the husband...

　　...

　　...

　　 When the gate of Yoshihara just closed—

　　Edo, Yoshihara, Meiya, and wind chime's room.

　　 When there are no customers ordering her, the wind chimes usually fall asleep when the gate of Yoshihara is closed.

　　 After falling asleep for an unknown period of time, the husband suddenly heard a faint noise.

　　 Wind Chime Taifu is the kind of person who is extremely easy to be woken up.

　　 If I change to someone else, maybe I can't even hear the noise, but the wind chime can't.

　　 After being awakened by the noise, the husband opened his eyes, got up from the bedding, walked to the window, then opened the window and looked out.

　　 I saw that on the Nakanomachi Avenue outside the Miyume House, many people were dragging their homes, holding large cloth bags, and hurriedly running towards the Yoshihara gate.

　　 Some people just run.

　　 But while some people are running, they don’t forget to pull their throats and shout loudly to the surrounding:

　　 "It's on fire! It's on fire! Everyone is waking up soon!"

-on fire? !

　　 A surprise appeared on the face of the husband.

　　 Like a conditioned reflex, the husband hurriedly closed the window, prepared to put on clothes that are convenient for his movement, and then flee for his life like those people outside the house.

　　 However—as soon as the Taifu closed the window, he heard a low abnormal noise from the ceiling not far away.

　　 Taifu didn't even have time to look up at the ceiling above his head, and the ceiling not far away suddenly fell.

　　 Two human figures jumped down from the top of the ceiling, following the void that appeared due to the falling of the ceiling.

　　 As soon as these two figures fell on the tatami, they rushed towards the Taifu.

　　 One person quickly controlled the husband.

　　The other person tapped the husband on the neck with a special technique.

　　 Not to mention seeing the faces of these two figures clearly, Ah Ding didn’t even have a chance to scream, so he was knocked out...

　　...

　　...

　　The husband didn't know-after she was knocked out by these two people, the two people worked together to transport her to the top of the ceiling.

　　 Before leaving, one of them took the wife's clothes hanging on the wall next to him.

　　 This dress is a dress that the husband wears only when he entertains guests.

　　Because it is made of the highest quality fabrics and tailor-made for Taifu, the cost is extremely high, and there is only such a set of clothes in Edo.

　　 After transporting the Tae Fu and Ta Fu's clothes to the top of the ceiling, the two of them did not forget to reinstall the ceiling that they had just kicked off to jump off the ceiling.

　　 They just left, when they saw the plum house’s owner, they hurriedly came to the outside of the husband’s room, informed him that there was a fire, and asked him to run for his life together.

　　 After hearing no response from the husband, the owner opened the door, and then saw an empty room...

　　...

　　...

　　 Time back to now—

　　 After the husband cast his vigilant gaze on the "Tear Mole Youth" who has 3 moles of tears under the corner of his left eye, the "Tear Mole Youth" hurriedly said:

　　 "My husband, please be safe and restless. Our goal is not to take your life. We will never do anything to you. Please rest assured. I hope you can cooperate with us obediently."

　　 As soon as the voice of "Tear Mole Youth" fell off, another young man standing behind him said in a slightly dissatisfied tone:

　　 "Sennosuke, let's touch the hand of the husband. It's rare to meet such a beautiful woman. Wouldn't it be a shame if I didn't do anything?"

　　 As soon as this person's voice fell, it immediately attracted the echo of the other two people.

　　 "Yes, yeah, Sennosuke, let us touch the hand of Taifu."

　　 "Let's just touch the hand of the husband and do nothing else."

　　"Tear Mole Youth"—the youth who was called "Xian no Help" by these three people, turned his head and glared at the three people behind him.

"To shut up!"

　　 "Do you still have the dignity of being a man?"

　　 "As a man, kidnapping a woman is shameless enough in itself."

　　 "If you still act on others, you really don't have any dignity left!"

　　Sennosuke's status seems to be higher than these three.

　　 After being reprimanded by Xianzhisuke, all three of them closed their mouths and stopped speaking.

　　 After the young man named Sennosuke severely reprimanded the three people behind him, the husband stared at Sennosuke, and then asked her question that had not been answered directly:

　　 "Who the **** are you?"

　　 "... Taifu, I'm sorry." Seninosuke turned his gaze back, and his gaze on Taifu was slightly apologetic, "It is not convenient for us to tell you who we are."

　　 "For some reason, we have to bring you here."

　　 "But as I said just now-our goal is not to take your life. We will never do anything to you, please rest assured."

As soon as 　　sennosuke's voice fell, the only paper sliding door in this narrow room was slowly opened from the outside.

　　 Taifu looked over—The person who opened the door was a gray-haired old man who should be 5 or 60 years old.

　　 After the old man came in by sliding the door, Xianzhisuke and others hurriedly knelt on one knee, saluted the old man, and said respectfully:

　　 "Hannosuke-sama!"

　　 "Sennosuke, you guys did a good job." The old man who was called "Hannosuke" by Sennosuke and others nodded with admiration, "I brought the Oiran here very beautifully."

　　 was praised by Hanosuke, and the young people present all showed joy—except for Senosuke.

　　 Sennosuke, who knelt on one knee, dropped his head slightly.

　　 Even though Hanosuke was praised, there was no expression on his face.

　　 Hanosuke walked slowly to the front of the husband, looked at the husband a few times, twitched the corners of his mouth, and smiled:

　　 "I thought that Yoshihara's oiran was a weak woman who couldn't help but feel weak."

　　 "But I didn't expect that she was a heroine."

　　 "Being **** in a strange place, there is no panic on his face, it's really amazing! There are not many of my men who can have a disposition like you."

　　Fu Chin Taifu ignored Hanosuke's praise to him.

　　 kept calm and calm, and asked Hanosuke:

　　 "Are you trying to rob you of money or sex?"

　　 "If you want to rob money, I think you tied the wrong person."

　　 "I don't have that much money."

　　 "Mei Umeya, where I belong, is not very rich either."

　　 "Treasure, you are wrong." Hanosuke interrupted the conversation aloud, "We don't want to rob money, and we don't want to rob sex."

　　 "We tied you here for some more interesting purpose."

　　 "As for the purpose...you will know later."

　　 After talking, Hanosuke turned and walked outside the room.

　　 Before leaving this room, Hanosuke turned his head, and Assennosuke warned:

　　 "Watch her well."

　　 "Yes." Sennosuke responded in a tone without any emotion.

　　嘭.

　　 Hanosuke left the room, the door was closed, and a soft "boom" sounded.

　　 After Hanosuke left, the 4 Seninosuke finally stood up.

　　 After getting up, Senanosuke took out a sword from his arms, and after pulling the sword out of its sheath, he turned his head to look at the Taifu who was lying horizontally on the tatami...

　　 "Sennosuke, what are you going to do?" a black-clothed youth closest to Siannosuke asked rhetorically with a look of error.

　　 "It's nothing." Senanosuke said lightly, "I just want to help the Taifu loosen the tie."

　　 After that, Sennosuke squatted down again, trying to keep his sight even with the Taifu. UU reading www.uukanshu.cóm

　　 "My husband, I can help you untie it now. But you have to promise me-after untie it for you, you will be obedient and nothing will happen."

　　 "Otherwise, I will re-tie your hands and feet."

　　 Hearing what Sennosuke said, the husband nodded softly after hesitating for a moment.

　　 Seeing "the deal is concluded," Senanosuke turned and walked behind the Taifu, and with a sword cut the hemp rope that bound the Taifu's hands and feet tightly.

　　 After his hands and feet were liberated, the Taifu hurriedly massaged his wrists and ankles, which were sore by hemp rope, to re-circulate the blood.

　　 After Sennosuke cut the hemp rope that tied the hands and feet of the husband, another black-clothed young man Zhao Sennosuke asked hesitantly:

　　 "Sennosuke, you cut off her twine. Isn't that good? What if you let her escape?"

　　 "I don't think Yoshihara's oiran can escape alone under the noses of four men who have received strict training." Seninosuke said softly.

　　 Taifu continued to rub his aching wrist, and said in a calm tone:

　　 "...I won't say'thank you' to you."

　　 "It's okay." Seninosuke gave a wry smile, "I also think this kind of kidnapping of women is despicable. It doesn't matter if you don't need to thank a despicable person like us."
