Spy Shadow.

Chapter 1076 The Price of Complaining
There were several cars following behind, so there must be a lot of people.

The driver stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, totally ignoring the things and pedestrians on the road. He didn't know who his boss had offended, but since the other party dared to come, they would be in great danger if they were stopped.

Their car is fast, but Takemoto's car is even faster.

Several cars in a row started speeding away.

Takemoto took out a pistol and kept cursing. This was a task assigned by Ishihara Toru, but he didn't expect to mess it up. How would he explain it when he returned?

What's more, he was the one who personally took action and yet it turned out like this, which is even more unforgivable.

Takemoto didn't know how he was exposed. When Taro Yagyu's car passed by just now, he did notice that Taro Yagyu was looking at their convoy from the car.

Just by looking at him, you knew that I was coming for him?
This Yagyu Taro is no simple person, no wonder Ishihara Toru wants to get rid of him.

"boom."

Hayakawa Ping was the first to open the window and fired a shot outside.

The sound of gunfire can cause chaos and attract patrolling police or American soldiers. As long as they come over, at least they can save their lives.

Chu Lingyun didn't come today, so he didn't know whether it was Ishihara Heng or Chu Lingyun who wanted to kill him, but it didn't matter who it was, because he would die in the end.

If he escapes and meets an American, he can tell them what happened and there is still a glimmer of hope.

If you can't escape now, you're doomed.

"Fight back."

Takemoto didn't expect that the other party had a gun, and the shot didn't cause any harm to them, but the matter became a big deal.

Takemoto was even more angry. They also carried guns, but after the shooting, the matter would become a big deal and the Americans would definitely know about it.

"Go to the American military camp."

Hayakawa Ping suddenly shouted, and the driver was stunned, but immediately understood what he meant. The other party also had a gun and fired several shots, but fortunately he did not hit their tires.

It’s not safe to go to the police station now. The Americans are the best.

There are troops over there, and these people would never dare to act recklessly in front of the Americans.

Noticing their change of route, Takemoto immediately knew where they were going.

"Call me."

Takemoto shouted, their car was following the closest, there were four guns in the car, but only three could be used now. Three men reached out from the car windows and kept shooting.

After firing a magazine, Takemoto looked up at the roof of the car.

Damn, it would be nice if there was an opening up top, better than shooting through the window.

"Bang bang bang."

The continuous gunshots alarmed many people. The driver in front ran faster. The American military camp was outside the city, not far from here.

And if the Americans hear shooting in the city, they will definitely come over.

As long as they can hold out until the Americans arrive, they will survive.

There was continuous shooting from behind, and Hayakawa Ping's goal had been achieved.

He didn't have many bullets, only two magazines, and once they were used up he would have no ability to fight back.

It’s different when the other party shoots. The gunshots are dense and more likely to attract people out.

Hayakawa Ping's car was about to reach a wide area outside the city.

"boom."

A bullet hit their tire, causing the vehicle to shake violently and the driver to slow down.

There were already many bullet holes in their car, but Hayakawa Ping was lucky and no bullets hit him.

"Hurry, keep going."

The driver held the steering wheel hard, but one of the tires was rotten and he couldn't speed up. He gritted his teeth and tried hard to control the steering wheel and continued to run forward.

They finally reached an open area, but their car could no longer move as both tires were punctured.

The car suddenly slowed down. Zaochuangping was looking behind him and immediately turned back.

He noticed that the driver was looking back at him.

"Boss, hurry up, run."

As soon as the driver opened his mouth, he spit out a lot of blood. He was shot.

He was indeed loyal to Hayakawa Ping and was still considering Hayakawa Ping's safety at this time.

Hayakawa Ping's heart sank. The driver was dead and the car's tires were punctured. He was almost in despair.

"Bang bang bang."

Before Hayakawa Ping could think of a countermeasure, gunshots were suddenly heard from the front. Hayakawa Ping immediately looked over and his eyes suddenly lit up with joy: American military vehicles were coming.

Takemoto also discovered the American military vehicle. He gritted his teeth and ordered his men to speed up again, and finally rushed in front of Hayakawa Ping's car.

"Be sure to kill him for me."

Takemoto took out his pistol and fired at Hayakawa Ping in the car. Blood spurted out of Hayakawa Ping's body. He didn't expect that these people would not run away when they saw the Americans coming, but dared to kill him.

Hayakawa Ping was very unwilling, but unfortunately his car was not bulletproof and ultimately he could not buy enough time to survive.

His body slowly fell down, and Hayakawa Ping's consciousness quickly disappeared.

"Da da da."

Just after firing the gun, the Americans in the distance started firing machine guns. Takemoto moved quickly and immediately squatted down. Two of his men were shot.

"Commander, we can't escape."

Inoue said to him, Takemoto's eyes were red, if Taro Yagyu died, he would also be in trouble.

"If he can't escape, he's dead?"

Takemoto was asking about Taro Yagyu. As long as they killed Taro Yagyu, at least they had completed the mission.

"Dead. I saw he was shot several times."

"It's good to die. Throw away your guns and we surrender."

Takemoto had no choice. The Americans came very quickly and they only had pistols. They dared not fight back against the Americans. This time they really could not escape.

At least he completed his mission and killed Yagyu Taro.

The rest is left to fate.

Two American jeeps soon arrived at the scene, and Takemoto and his companions raised their hands obediently and walked out.

When coming out, Takemoto did not forget to look at the car next to him.

Taro Yagyu fell on the back seat, covered in blood. Most importantly, he was spitting out a lot of blood from his mouth. It seemed that his internal organs were broken. It seemed that he was dead and there was no possibility of survival.

"Takemoto, why is it you?"

The Americans came over, and the leader was stunned when he saw Takemoto.

The team was led by Carl, who was an old acquaintance of Takemoto.

When he noticed it was Carl, Takemoto felt relieved immediately. It was good that it was Carl. He knew that Carl had received a lot of benefits from them and was one of their own.

"I was cleaning out the traitors, but I didn't expect to shock you."

Takemoto immediately said that there were more than one American at this time, and Carl had no choice but to take them away first.

Otherwise he would kill to silence the witness.

Takemoto and his group were all taken to the American military camp. The head of the Special Investigation Department killed people in the street, which had a huge impact. Fortunately, the place where they killed people was outside the city and no one saw it. No one knew about this at this time.

Several people were detained by Carl, and he immediately sent a message to Chu Lingyun.

The telegram was received by Chu Yuan and immediately forwarded to the Yuan Shrine.

When Chu Lingyun found out, it was more than an hour after Hayakawa Ping's death.

"Takemoto was arrested?"

After reading the telegram, Chu Lingyun frowned. He knew Takemoto's abilities, so how could he be caught?

Fortunately, the telegram made it clear that Taro Yagyu was dead, killed by Takemoto.

This was Takemoto's request, and Carl reported it truthfully.

Fortunately, it was Carl who arrested Takemoto. Carl had ordered his men to keep it a secret, but he still had to clean up the mess.

Chu Lingyun called Karl back through Chu Yuan.

After reading the telegram, Carl burned it.

"You guys come here."

Carl was calling the soldier who went out with him today. He was a colonel, the highest rank, and the superior of these people.

All the people he brought today are his own people, and this matter is under his control.

"Take this money and go wherever you want. Nothing happened today. We didn't catch anyone. Do you understand?"

Carl took out a large sum of money, which was indeed a lot, three thousand dollars per person.

He brought eight people with him, so that was twenty-four thousand dollars.

But Chu Lingyun gave him more. This time he gave him a full 100,000 US dollars, and the bulk of the money was still with him.

"Understood, sir."

The men laughed and said that since they had captured Takemoto, they knew the matter would not become a big deal, after all, Carl and Takemoto had a good relationship.

"There is a village east of the city. There is a very beautiful girl there. They are very docile."

Carl smiled again. His men were stunned for a moment, then they showed an evil smile. Beautiful girls are their favorites. These Japanese girls are very gentle and basically will not resist.

"Sir, we're leaving."

The eight men took the money and left. Carl narrowed his eyes. It was very easy to deal with his men. Takemoto would be fine this time.

But we must give him an explanation, at least to let him be able to report back.

It doesn't matter who killed the person, as long as they caught the murderer and brought him to justice.

In Yuanjin Shrine, Chu Lingyun was holding a pen and thinking constantly.

Will Hayakawa Ping discover something when he goes to the dock?
He is not afraid even if he is discovered. The most Hayakawa Ping has is evidence of Gu Sen, and he cannot produce any extra evidence.

At most, I guessed something.

Such speculation made no sense to him.

Others won’t believe it, but Gu Sen might be in some trouble.

Chu Lingyun would never trust someone like Hayakawa Ping unless he had a backup plan.

Gu Sen needs to leave first to avoid the limelight.

Soon, Gu Sen received a telegram asking him to go to Hong Kong immediately on business grounds.

At this time, Gu Sen didn't know that Yagyu Taro was dead.

Because of his report.

This was an urgent telegram sent by the organization to Gu Sen. He did not dare to delay and immediately packed up and went to the airport and bought the next flight to Hong Kong.

Hong Kong is still British territory, but it is better than staying in Japan.

"Ishihara-kun, I'm sorry."

Takemoto and Inoue came back, dejected. The mission had failed. If the American who came wasn't Carl, they would have been in big trouble.

"Tell me what happened."

Chu Lingyun did not blame them, and Takemoto immediately told him everything in detail.

Takemoto was already very careful and didn't wait directly at the door. Somehow he was discovered by Yagyu Taro. The guy had a gun and wanted to run to the American military camp, so he was forced to shoot continuously.

"It's okay, you did a great job, go and rest first."

After listening to this, Chu Lingyun nodded slightly. He knew Hayakawa Ping and knew how powerful this man was, so it was not surprising that Takemoto was discovered.

Takemoto did a good job, after all, he completed the task.

As for the aftermath, Chu Lingyun didn't ask. Takemoto could do it well. If he couldn't even do such a small thing, he didn't deserve to be the vice president of Yuanjin Shrine.

Gu Sen got off the plane in Hong Kong.

Old Wu came to pick him up, but he was not clear about his identity. This time Gu Sen came in the name of discussing business.

Soon Gu Sen arrived at Chu's Company, waiting to be met by Fang Shiyi.

Today, Fang Shiyi is considered a big shot in Hong Kong. The Chu Company is a large and powerful company, ranking among the top ten companies in Hong Kong. In the past two years, it has also started real estate business, which is very prosperous.

They have excellent relations with the government and banks. Simply put, they have a harmonious relationship with capital.

In Hong Kong, Fang Shiyi is a man who can walk sideways.

"Mr. Gu Sen, Mr. Fang is free now."

Gu Sen waited for more than two hours and finally Fang Shiyi was free. If he had not been a merchant representative from Japan, he would not have been able to meet Fang Shiyi today.

"Hello, Mr. Fang."

When he arrived at the office, Gu Sen immediately greeted him. He was very familiar with Fang Shiyi and had known him before when they were at Ishihara Trading Company.

They were also people who entered Ishihara Trading Company at the same time.

I didn't expect Fang Shiyi to be so powerful now. Ishihara Trading Company is gone and was taken away by Chu Lingyun, but Fang Shiyi was able to continue working with Chu Lingyun and even became the general manager.

"Brother Gu Sen, long time no see. Sorry to have kept you waiting."

Fang Shiyi smiled and replied that Gu Sen didn't know his true identity, but he knew Gu Sen.

Gu Sen has been helping them transport goods for such a long time, it would be foolish for Fang Shiyi not to know that he is one of their own.

"It's ok."

Gu Sen replied hurriedly, and Fang Shiyi chatted with him for a while and finalized some business matters, including future cooperation.

Gu Sen stayed in Hong Kong temporarily, using the excuse of waiting for the goods.

At this time he already knew that Taro Yagyu was dead, killed in an assassination, and the murderer was caught by the Americans.

The murderers at this time have become two ronin. They admit that they killed Yagyu Taro for money and for talking back to Takemoto.
Gu Sen didn't know why someone killed Yagyu Taro, but he keenly realized that this matter was related to him.

After Ishihara Toru came to ask him questions, Yagyu was assassinated. Is there any connection between the two?
He did not ask the organization. Gu Sen understood the discipline and should never ask questions that he should not ask.

On the third day after Liu Sheng's death, a message was indeed sent out.

Gu Sen is a member of the Red Party and he has been working for the Red Party. Chu Lingyun had already sent Takemoto to keep an eye on him. As soon as the rumor came out, Takemoto acted quickly and soon found the person who spread the rumor.

A little beggar.

Yagyu was very smart. He did have a backup plan. Whenever something happened to him, the beggar would tell others about it. He had saved the beggar's life and often secretly gave him money to improve his life.

The little beggar is not very old, and because of his disability he cannot do anything else, but he will remember the kindness of anyone who has done him a favor.

After learning that Taro Yagyu had died, he cried for a long time.

Then, according to Taro Yagyu's request, he spread the news.

Unfortunately, Takemoto was keeping a close eye on him. When it comes to spreading information, the gangsters are the most flexible. After getting the news, he cut off the spread and drowned the little beggar in the river.

Taro Yagyu died himself and killed another person.

"Ishihara-kun, everything has been taken care of."

Zhu Ben reported to Chu Lingyun, who nodded slightly.

Takemoto hesitated, but didn't ask anything.

"Do you want to know whether Gusen is a Red?"

Chu Lingyun suddenly asked. Takemoto was startled and immediately shook his head: "No, I didn't think of asking these questions."

In fact, Takemoto had the answer in his mind. He knew that the rumor was most likely true. When he was in Shanghai, he handled the case involving Gu Sen. At that time, the people at the Special High Court said that he was a member of the Red Party and was shielding the Red Party.

At that time, Ishihara Toru didn't let him ask and solved the problem himself.

"You guessed right, he is. I gave him a chance at the beginning, and he promised not to associate with the people over there. Now it seems that he is still working for them."

Chu Lingyun said slowly that there was no need to hide this matter from Takemoto.

Besides, there is no point in hiding it. Takemoto knows a lot and can guess the truth.

Takemoto was smart, he didn't say anything.

"This matter ends here. We don't need to get involved in the internal affairs of the Chinese. Let the Chinese decide for themselves how to deal with Gu Sen."

"Yes, I understand."

Takemoto nodded. Whether Gu Sen was red or blue had nothing to do with him. This was no longer a time of war. What they valued was their own country and the Hara Shrine.

As long as Gu Sen doesn't affect the Yuanjin Shrine.

"Just keep this to yourself, you don't have to tell anyone."

Chu Lingyun gave the order, and Takemoto nodded again. He would not tell anyone, as it would do him no good.

Gu Sen's identity was temporarily suppressed.

A few rumors mean nothing.

Chu Lingyun was a little surprised that Hayakawa Ping had not done anything to him, and there were only rumors about Gu Sen.

What's the point of revealing Gu Sen's identity? The most important thing is yourself.

In fact, Hayakawa Ping also had a backup plan for Chu Lingyun, but it was not the little beggar, but his family, or to be exact, his son.

Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. As Hayakawa Ping gets older, he cares more and more about his children.

He didn't dare to reveal this secret casually, because he knew that if he attacked Gu Sen, he would be the one to die, but if he attacked Chu Lingyun directly, his entire family would die.

So he left this backup plan to his son.

As long as my son is fine, this secret will not be exposed.

Chu Lingyun didn't know what he was thinking, and after solving all the problems, he didn't bother with it anymore.

The next day, Chu Lingyun went to the Hosokawa family alone.

At this moment, he looked like Jihyo Hosokawa.

"Uncle, you're back."

This weekend, Xiao Gu was at home. When he saw Chu Lingyun, he immediately ran over happily. This boy is growing very fast and has grown a lot taller than the last time he saw him.

Hosokawa Koguru is already twelve years old, and it is indeed time for him to grow taller.

"Have you finished your homework?"

Chu Lingyun asked with a smile. Chu Lingyun treated the Japanese differently. Only those who could recognize their mistakes, did not participate in the war, and were friendly to China could be considered friends. Those who still harbored evil intentions were pure enemies.

There is no need to be friendly towards your enemies.

"I have already finished it. I am the top student in the class."

Xiao Gu said proudly. Chu Lingyun laughed and took out a model airplane from the bag and handed it to him.

"This is a gift for you."

"Thank you uncle."

Xiao Gu liked this toy very much. He immediately ran out to play with it, while Chu Lingyun walked inside.

Tomore Hosokawa was in the living room. He was not the only one in the living room. There were three older people there.

When Chu Lingyun came in, he happened to see Hosokawa Tomore counting money.

Each person was given a stack of banknotes with a face value of 100 yuan.

"Thank you, thank you, Master."

The three took the money, thanked happily, and some even kowtowed.

"Ji Hyo, when did you come back?"

Chirei Hosokawa raised his head and saw his younger brother, and asked in surprise.

"Just arrived." Chu Lingyun walked in.

"You guys go back first."

Zhili said to the three people in front of him, and after they left, he immediately pulled Chu Lingyun to sit inside.

"How long can you stay this time?"

Zhili has become accustomed to the fact that his younger brother only stays back for a short time each time, and understands that his brother has no choice.

"A month."

Chu Lingyun smiled. This time he would indeed stay in Japan longer. He was not here to collect intelligence. He had already obtained everything that needed to be collected before the station. This time he was here to deal with other things.

"A month? Great."

Zhili was stunned for a moment, then replied happily that his brother always left in a hurry every time he came back, and it was unimaginable that he could stay for a month this time.

"What happened to those guys just now?"

Chu Lingyun took the initiative to ask, and Zhili sighed: "They are all our retainers. They have been having a hard time recently and their family is short of money, so they came to borrow money. I couldn't bear to see them suffer, so I gave them two thousand each."

Chi Li is a good person. He doesn't have the arrogance of a nobleman and is genuinely kind to Hosokawa Ji Hyo.

Although now is not the same as in the past, they no longer have a master-servant relationship, and these people will not bring any wealth to the Hosokawa family, and they no longer have the obligation to take care of them, but when someone comes to their door, Zhili still can't help but help them.

Fortunately, the company's dividends are increasing, otherwise Zhili would not be able to afford such help.

"So that's the case."

Chu Lingyun glanced at the back of the person who was leaving and didn't ask any more questions.

If they really encounter difficulties that they cannot overcome, since we were master and servant in the past, it is our duty to help them.

However, if they regarded the Hosokawa family as a wealthy family and wanted to take advantage of them, they chose the wrong place.

Chu Lingyun did not elaborate and turned around to leave it to Takemoto to verify.

The family had a happy meal. The meal was very sumptuous and Xiao Gu ate so much that his mouth was drooling.

Both Zhili and Xiao Gu's mother doted on Xiao Gu very much. Xiao Gu was indeed hardworking and did very well in school. Chu Lingyun also knew that Xiao Gu had fought with others in school.

The reason turned out to be that some people said that the Chinese were all stupid and deserved to be enslaved by them, and if it weren't for the Chinese resistance, they would not have been defeated.

Xiao Gu argued with him, but the man couldn't win the argument, so he got angry and started fighting first.

As a result, he was knocked to the ground by Xiao Gu.

Xiao Gu was brought up by Zhang Acheng, who taught him not only knowledge but also physical health.

Zhang Acheng is the second most popular person in the training class after Liang Yu.

His skills are better than Liang Yu's, so how bad can the apprentice he teaches be?

What's more, Xiao Gu exercises regularly, which is far beyond what other children can compare to.

"Xiao Gu did a good job, that's how it should be. If someone bullies you again, tell me and I'll help you."

After listening to what Xiao Gu said, Chu Lingyun encouraged him. Zhili and his wife were stunned. They didn't expect that their younger brother would actually teach the children to fight.

But what my brother said is right. It is unreasonable to not fight back when being bullied.

What's more, they are aristocrats.

They have lost their noble titles, but their aristocratic pride remains.

"Uncle, I want to watch a movie."

"Watch a movie? Sure, uncle will take you there later."

When Chu Lingyun heard Xiao Gu say that he wanted to see a movie, he immediately agreed and drove him to the cinema in the afternoon.

The movie being shown today is a foreign film, an American one.

Japan's economy has not yet developed, and there are not many movies nowadays. Even if they are made, they are either romance films or some costume films.

They don't dare to make movies about war and Bushido spirit, and even if they do, it would be difficult to release them.

Now that the United States is in charge, if they make movies about loyalty to the emperor, they will be immediately purged. Especially before, Mike was very strict in this regard and had arrested a group of people.

Those people haven't come out yet, and others don't dare to take pictures.

There were only three movies playing in the cinema, and coincidentally, Loach's movie was among them.

“I want to watch this horror movie.”

Although Xiao Gu is young, he is very brave. Chu Lingyun laughed and immediately bought movie tickets and took him to see the movie.

Chu Lingyun has seen this movie. There are indeed some scary scenes in it, but they are not too serious.

Soon they arrived at the first scary place. Xiao Gu had just said that he was very brave, but when the camera came on, he immediately lay on Chu Lingyun and didn't dare to look.

But he couldn't help it, so he secretly turned his head and looked through the gaps between his nails, and he was shocked.

His look made Chu Lingyun smile.

Although Xiao Gu is young, his thinking has been rectified and he can be vigorously trained in the future. With his current abilities, there will be absolutely no problem for him to go into politics.

After all, Chu Lingyun is a human being, not a god.

Even if he owns the Genjinja Shrine, it is impossible for him to change the whole of Japan. If he cannot change others, then he can change the people around him.

He will focus on training Xiao Gu and help him become the best in Japan in the future.

Until then, let Xiao Gu fulfill his childhood promise and make a public apology.

Chu Lingyun believes in Xiao Gu, he is a good kid.

"Uncle, this is terrible."

After watching the movie, Xiao Gu was still a little scared. Looking at his expression, Chu Lingyun smiled again.

After coming out of the cinema, he took him to other places to play. At night, Chu Lingyun did not leave and stayed at home.

Zhili was very happy and talked with him for more than an hour, leaving with a feeling of unfulfilled desire.

The next morning, Chu Lingyun got up early and said goodbye to Zhili and the others after breakfast, saying that he had other things to do.

"Takemoto, go check on the retainers of the Hosokawa family right now. How are they living now? How many of them often go to the Hosokawa family to borrow money?"

Chu Lingyun called Takemoto and asked him to investigate these people.

Hosokawa Chirei is a kind-hearted man. He will lend money to people who come to him and say they are pitiful. Even if the dividends are large, he cannot afford to give them away like this.

Chu Lingyun understands human nature best. Greed is its nature. If someone asks for two thousand today, he will want three thousand tomorrow.

Some people even think that the money earned by others should be shared with them.

This kind of thing happened in later generations. They couldn’t even build roads or exercise venues, but just wanted money, and even asked for a car for every family.

Do they owe you something?

Now is not the future. If someone really has difficulties, Chu Lingyun will not ask. But if it is a lie, don't blame Chu Lingyun for being ruthless.

The money of the Hosokawa family belongs to him, and to cheat the Hosokawa family is to cheat him.

"Yes, I'll check right away."

Takemoto didn't dare to be careless when he received the task. He had messed up last time, and there must not be any accidents this time.

Of the more than 200 retainers of the Hosokawa family, only about 30 actually came to borrow money, and even 30 was already a lot.

Among the more than 30 companies, I visited seven of them repeatedly, and six of them were not doing badly themselves, so I just went there to get some free money.

This ratio is not high, it’s okay.

Although Japan was defeated in the war and lost its aristocracy, the old ideas are still in their hearts. The Hosokawa family is not in decline, so ordinary people dare not cheat them.

These six families are quite courageous.

Soon the six families suffered a lesson. Currently, all the gangsters in Tokyo are under the control of Takemoto. Not only did they learn a lesson, but they were also asked to pay back the money they borrowed before. The money they borrowed must be repaid within three days.

The least amount borrowed by these six families was 15,000, and the most was 80,000. Didn’t Zhili have any doubts at all?
Chu Lingyun kept shaking his head after listening to the report.

Only these six families were retaliated against. The other family was truly in difficulty. There was a sick person at home who needed to be saved. They had no choice but to borrow money many times, but they only borrowed a few hundred or a thousand each time, and the total was only three or four thousand. Their problem was nothing.

Chu Lingyun didn't do anything for them, he could ask Zhili to send them some more later.

But the six companies that deceived will never be let off easily.

"Master, you have to make the decision for us. They are so abominable. They asked us to pay back the money instead of coming to you. We didn't know that they were deliberately doing evil in the name of our Hosokawa family."

As soon as Chu Lingyun entered the door, he heard someone crying and shouting inside. In fact, Chu Lingyun came here at this time on purpose.

Takemoto had been watching them and when he knew they were coming to the Hosokawa family, he immediately called.

Chu Lingyun had been waiting at home in the guise of Hosokawa Jihyo, but he was not in the living room just now.

"Someone is using the name of the Hosokawa family. Who is it?"

Zhili was stunned and asked in disbelief, their Hosokawa family was no longer a noble family and there were no important figures, why would someone use their name to blackmail their retainers?
These people are so despicable. They really think that the Hosokawa family is easy to bully.

"it's me."

Chu Lingyun walked in with a file bag in his hand.

Seeing his younger brother, Zhili was stunned again, and the three people kneeling on the ground also looked at Chu Lingyun.

They knew that they had a little master in their family, but few people had seen him. This little master was too rebellious. He went to China very early and rarely came back.

They knew even less about other matters of the family.

"Look at this."

Chu Lingyun took out the things in the file bag and handed it to Hosokawa Chirei. Chirei took it with doubt and looked at it carefully.

Before he finished reading, his expression changed.

It clearly stated how many times they had come to borrow money and what they did with the money each time. It was not at all what they said, such as their family needed money or they needed to save someone, etc.

The borrowed money was either spent on wine and women or used to buy other things.

"Is all this true?"

Zhili looked at Chu Lingyun. Chu Lingyun didn't say anything and just nodded.

"Get lost, you liars. From now on, you are not allowed to tell others that I am from the Hosokawa family."

Compared to outsiders, Zhili trusted his younger brother more and yelled at the people in front of him. The three of them were still kneeling there. He didn't know what had happened and why the head of the family was suddenly so angry.

"Homeowner..."

"roll."

Zhili's face turned red with anger and he pointed at the door and shouted. After all, they were retainers and had an instinctive fear of the master's anger.

The three people walked away dejectedly, and Chu Lingyun looked at them deeply.

The money they borrowed must be repaid.

Not only do they have to pay it back, they have to pay double the amount, and it’s calculated at usurious interest rates.

Originally, they just needed to pay back the principal honestly, and Chu Lingyun would not have made things difficult for them. These three guys dared to come and complain without knowing the consequences.

This time they will understand how high the cost of filing a complaint is.

They brought this upon themselves.
