In the small village at the foot of the mountain.

"So that's it, I'll help find it too." After hearing the whole story, Gu Yijiu said.

The fat businessman naturally thanked him very much.

"There are many twists and turns in the mountains, and only I know about some hidden paths. So, let your people search along the road, and I will explore the path alone."

"I have to do this, thank you for helping me."

"Human life is at stake, so naturally we cannot stand by and watch."

After saying this, Gu Yijiu limped into the night.

The family Ding couldn't help but say, "Master, he is a child and a cripple, what's the point?"

The fat businessman immediately scolded, "What do you know? If you have this skill of gossiping, why don't you go out and find someone for me quickly!"

The Ding shrank his neck and ran out, but he just went out and retreated.

"Master, the town is here to follow."

A burly middle-aged man with a serious expression walked in. His name was Kondo Yuki, who was a minister of the shogunate and was mainly responsible for the judicial and public security in and around Edo Castle.

The fat businessman was immediately overjoyed and bowed repeatedly and said, "Mr. Kondo has come here in person. The little girl has no worries this time, no worries!"

But Kondo Yuki frowned and waved his hand to let his servant leave, then said in a muffled voice: "Mr. Maennan, this incident is extremely difficult, I'm afraid it's not going to end. You'd better be prepared."

The fat businessman's smile froze on his face and asked in a trembling voice: "Why did Lord Kondo say this?"

Kondo said hesitantly: "This matter should not be rumored, but now you are involved, so I don't need to avoid it. To be honest, there have been many wealthy families who have been missing in Edo Castle this year, and most of them are missing. If you find them occasionally, the end of the year is miserable."

The fat businessman asked foolishly: "What does it mean to be miserable?"

Kondo Yuuki couldn't bear to say much: "How miserable can a woman fall into the hands of a villain?"

"No!" The fat businessman shouted like a cat with a trampled tail: "My daughter has always been kind and often advised me to lower the selling price and repay the people. How could God let her suffer such a disaster?"

Kondo sighed: "It's probably because God has no eyes."

"No!" The fat businessman jumped high and grabbed Kondo Yu's collar and shouted: "Since there was a case in advance, why do you still let the murderer be free? I offer money to the governing office every ten days, and I am not a group of wastes!"

Kondo Yu pushed the fat businessman away and said loudly: "Mr. Maennan, please be careful! Since then, the thief has appeared, and the governing office has begun to arrest many times. Thirteen of them died under the sword of this thief. Twenty-eight are disabled for life. They are worthy of their ancestors, generals, and people. You can't just curse and humiliate them at will!"

The fat businessman still couldn't let go and asked angrily: "Why haven't you caught the thief?"

"This..." Kondo Yuki was speechless, so he could only sigh and bow and salute, "Because I am the waste, letting the thief escape from the law, it is all my town that is incompetent."

The room was silent, and the fat businessman was as weak as a deflated ball, and he was no longer able to get angry.

After a long time, he asked, "That thief... is very powerful?"

Kondo nodded and said, "He was a samurai warrior, and he was good at using fast swords. He beheaded hundreds of people in the Battle of Odawara eight years ago. His swordsmanship was very good. Later, as soon as the world's unmarried decree was released, the samurai disappeared, and he fell sharply. Someone saw him as a coolie at the dock, but then he disappeared. Last year, the daughter of the Edo Mitsuki Sakai family disappeared. I was ordered to investigate and found out that he was willing to fall and wanted to kidnap and blackmail. Although I found his hiding place, it was too late, and Miss Sakai was insulted by him. I fought with him, but because of distracted protection of Miss Sakai, he accidentally let him escape. At this point, he was out of control and often hid in the homes of wealthy families. He was determined and had no intention, causing countless disasters."

Shuai Jiulang nodded: "Yes, I'm not wrong. So the ones who are wrong are those rich families. If they are willing to lend me money, my wife and children will not die tragically. It is natural for me to ask them to repay it!"

The girl did not dare to refute, so she had to follow the trend and said, "We will definitely repay it. We will give you as much money as you want."

But Shuai Jiuro shook his head: "I don't want money."

"Then what do you want?"

"I only have my wife and children." Shuai Jiuro stood up and said while untiing his belt: "You have killed my wife and children, and I will ask you to accompany my wife and children. Don't worry, if you give birth to a child for me, I will not hurt you."

It would be strange if the girl could feel at ease. Instead, her face turned pale and she screamed: "Help, help!"

Huo Jiulang said confidently: "It's useless to shout, it's remote here, and it's hard for ordinary people to find..." As soon as he finished speaking, he stopped, turned around and shouted at the exit, "Who is it?"

Gu Yijiu limped out.

"Child? Crip?" Shuai Jiulang waved his hand and said, "Leave quickly!"

Gu Yijiu ran in the mountains like a monkey for half a night, so naturally he would not leave.

He ignored Shui Kyuro and just asked the girl who was huddling in the corner, "But the daughter of the former Nan family?"

The girl nodded repeatedly: "That's it. Who are you?"
