Chapter 755

Looking at the night, it is estimated that Komaji should also be resting at this time, and he should wait for dawn if he wants to find him.

After a while of meditation, the night passed quietly, and the streets of Edo Castle became noisy again.

Rota ordered a cup of clear tea at the teahouse on the street and sipped it carefully. One was to pass the time, but to observe Komaji's whereabouts.

This place is not far from where Komaji stole last time. If Komaji wants to continue stealing, there is a high probability that he will choose this place.

During the tea drinking, Rota didn't just patronize the tea, but also inquired about Komaji from other tea drinkers around.

Whenever Komaji is mentioned, every tea customer's face looks quite disgusted. It seems that Komaji doesn't have a good reputation among the public.

Naturally, it was no exception now, and the tea drinkers around were discussing the matter of Komaji one after another because of Rota's opening.

"It is said that the child is an ominous symbol, and teeth grew out from birth."

"So that's the case, no wonder that bastard keeps stealing things! Sure enough, that kind of guy should be executed as soon as possible, lest he grow into a scourge of Edo."

Speaking such vicious words to a child, even the indifferent Rota was a little touched, slowly raised a finger, and slapped that person lightly with invisible air.

The tea customer who was suffering from pain stood up with a roar, and the fierce light in his eyes scanned every tea customer around him, as if he was going to make trouble.

After the tea guest chatting with him calmed him down, he also reminded fearfully: "I see you, let's talk less, I didn't see anyone approaching you just now, maybe it was retribution."

After being told this, the tea drinker seemed a little scared. As the person involved, he knew the actual situation very well, and it was almost the same as what the other party said.

Without thinking too much, the two hurried out of the teahouse after paying the money, not daring to stay in the teahouse for even a second longer.

Seeing the two fleeing in a panic, Rota shook his beard. It's not too much to teach this kind of immoral guy a lesson.

Seeing that there was still no commotion on the street outside, it was obvious that Komaji hadn't made a move yet.Although I don't know when Komaji will start stealing, anyway, Rota has a lot of time to wait, so he is not in a hurry.

Finally, the hard work paid off, and there was a lively sound from the street.Listening carefully, it turned out that it was not a scolding sound but a happy shouting sound.

"Good news! Good news! The thief Komaji has been caught, and now he will be sent to trial, everyone, go and have a look!"

Everyone around him is no stranger to Komaji, and everyone in Edo knows about this vile kid who often steals.

"Really? I've seen that kid upset for a long time. He stole labor money last time."

"Are you too? Me too!"

"Then how about going to see how miserable that kid is?"

"Okay, that's exactly what I mean."

The people around did not have any sympathy for Komaji, on the contrary they still mocked him with vicious words.

But for these uninformed people, such performance is normal operation.

Rota left behind a few copper coins, slowly got up and followed the team escorting Komaji ahead.

Looking at Komaji who was arrested, the crowd on the street didn't have any sympathy, only ruthless cold eyes.

Many people who received Komaji's patronage showed understanding smiles. In their eyes, Komaji, a thief, should have been tried by the yamen long ago.

"I hope that this time the yamen won't be released after just a few casual beatings, and it's better to just execute him."

Komaji was forcibly escorted towards the yamen with his head down. He didn't expect anyone to speak for him. No one in this world would sympathize with a poor man like him.

But for the sake of his seriously ill father, what is this kind of suffering?The figure of his father appeared in Komaji's mind, and the will in his heart became firmer.

Soon, Komaji was kneeling outside the trial hall of the yamen, looking at the familiar young man kneeling in front of him, the judge of the yamen was also very dizzy.

Looking at the large group of angry passers-by outside, it seems that if I don't solve the problem of Komaji today, the Yamen's house may be destroyed if I don't keep it clean.

"My lord, we feel that there is no need for a trial. It is strongly recommended that this child be executed. Such a child will definitely become a villain when he grows up. For the long-term peace and stability of Edo, you must make a wise decision." A representative of passers-by was elected to demonstrate against the judge.

With the early bird, the surrounding crowd shouted one after another, the voice was so loud that the judge almost couldn't sit still.

"Okay, be quiet! If you continue to disturb the order of the yamen, you will be punished as guilty!"

The judge had no choice but to use his position and privileges, otherwise his words alone would not be able to deter so many excited passers-by.

It is said that there is a trial, but in fact there is nothing to trial.Komaji is a child who steals money, and the death penalty is impossible for a child.

And those excited people outside the door kept calling for Komaji to be executed. This was the most difficult part for the judge.

After thinking about it for a while, the judge didn't want to take over Komaji's mess anymore, and directly ordered Komaji's arms to be tattooed with dark blue tattoos, with three stripes on the front of each arm.

Such a mark is enough to explain Komaji's identity-a despicable thief, not worthy of sympathy.

Immediately, the judge announced loudly: "Here, I declare that Komaji will be completely expelled from Edo."

"Hey! Isn't it, this is the end?"

"Hey, what kind of hot chicken judgment is this!"

Although everyone was not very satisfied with the verdict, many sensible people still saw the intention behind the judge's decision.Looking at Komaji kneeling in the trial hall, many people showed sinister smiles.

Originally, Komaji was severely beaten by the trial court, but the judge didn't know whether it was because of his conscience or something, but in the end he was spared Komaji's punishment.

After Komaji was untied, he immediately accelerated and ran towards home. He had to take his father out of Edo as soon as possible.

Komaji didn't stop for a moment, even if his body was panting heavily, he never slowed down.

Finally, Komaji rushed to the street where his house was located, and Komaji, who was about to run home, was suddenly stopped by the surrounding neighbors.

It can be said that it may be these neighbors who really understand Komaji in Edo.Although they wanted to help Komaji, the cost of treatment for his father's illness was far beyond what they could afford, and they couldn't do anything to help except for sending some condolences from time to time.

Komaji was so anxious now that he didn't have time to listen to these neighbors' nagging. Seeing that the neighbors didn't want to speak, he planned to leave.

"Wait for Komaji, listen to us!" The middle-aged uncle who often visited Komaji's father stopped him sternly.

Looking at the young Komaji, the middle-aged uncle really couldn't bear to tell the truth, but even if he didn't tell it, Komaji would find out, so it's better to tell him.

"Komaji... your father is gone..."

Komaji's pupils constricted, looking at the middle-aged uncle in the distance, he immediately retorted: "Impossible, you are lying to me!"

The middle-aged man also held back his tears, and conveyed to Komaji all the words Komaji's father told him last.

"Your father took his own life in order to let you have a bright future. Do you understand? Komaji!" The middle-aged uncle said tremblingly.

Komaji couldn't listen to any words now, ignored the middle-aged uncle, and ran straight towards his home.

"It's a lie! Everything is a lie! Father, how could he commit suicide!"

Komaji pushed open the door hopefully, but unlike usual, the phrase "Father" never yelled out.

Because he saw... his father was lying peacefully in front of him, the thick strangle mark on his neck was very obvious.
