Chapter 1348
The character of the village and Gui'an is very cautious at first glance, he waved his hands again and again:

"The little old man is not sure. He just thinks there are some similarities between the two."

Fang Linyan was not in a state of fear before, but felt a little disgusted and creepy for a while. After he calmed down, he smiled and said:

"Understood, can you see if you can recognize more doubts? It doesn't matter, speak boldly!"

In order to let the village and the ghost nunnery know everything, Fang Linyan even took out a hundred yen and put it beside him.

Sure enough, money can turn ghosts into millstones. After seeing the big bill, the village and ghost temple immediately said:
"I was staying in a hot spring soup house (hot spring hotel) at the time, and I met that strange human skin lantern. As a result, I met the monk of the Kinkakuji Temple that night and sent someone to investigate the matter, so it was a pick-me-up. Take your life back."

"The monk Huodeng who came to investigate this anecdote at the time said that the owner of the hot spring soup house was bewitched by evil spirits, and in order to prevent the soup house that has been passed down for hundreds of years from being collapsed, he made this soul-deceiving lantern. , so that people who are traveling late at night can't help but come in as guests."

"The original intention of the boss is to make money, but the evil spirit only wants to eat people. This kind of human skin refined by monsters has a characteristic, that is, it will glow when soaked in water at midnight. If you want Verify whether it is related to witchcraft, just do it."

Hearing this, Fang Linyan suddenly understood, and decided to try it at night.

Next, he wandered around Navel Hair Village, and found that the things sold here were really good.

For example, the hidden weapons used by ninjas, kunai and ninja darts, although they cannot be brought out of this world, and their lethality to space fighters is halved, they still have additional lethality to local aborigines.

Another example is the limited sale of explosive pulp lanterns. After eating it, you can actually get a continuous recovery effect. The key is that you can buy it for Japanese yen, so I bought a wave of food that can restore blood.
Not only that, but the special ninja smoke bomb that Hattori Kazuyoshi used to make amends was also for sale. Fang Linyan doubted that this guy bought it here, because the smell on the surface of the smoke bomb was exactly the same. The smell of feet.

Fang Linyan considered that this thing is still very useful, so he bought a few more.

There is another prop that left a deep impression on Fang Linyan: that is chewing wine. The details of this thing have been introduced earlier, so there is no need to say more.

But Navel Hair Village is isolated from the outside world. Who chews the rice for the chewing wine made here?
Is it the granny next to her face covered with tumors, or the aunt next door with body odor?Thinking of this, Fang Linyan felt even more creepy.

However, the description of the space on this thing is that it is a very special drug, which has indescribable miraculous effects on the aborigines of this world after taking it. However, after taking it, there may be vomiting, small bumps on the body, and eating smelly things, etc. Some adverse reactions.

With a spare mentality, Fang Linyan continued to buy two bottles of chewing wine. The key is that this thing is still limited, and even if you have money, you may not be able to sell it!
After staying in Navel Hair Village, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon. Fang Linyan suddenly thought of one thing, that is, the house of the Tang people he saw on the way here. At this time, he said to Laming:
"Are there any ships leaving port tonight?"

Ramin said:
"Yes, it should start at nine o'clock in the evening to transport a batch of goods to the chicken coop."

Fang Linyan nodded:

"There is still time, let's go, let's go to Tangren's house to have a look."

Ramingge said:

"Chinese house? In my impression, the Chinese house in Nagasaki has been destroyed long ago. It will take 30 years before the new Chinatown will be rebuilt on the ruins. Master, where did you see it?"

Fang Linyan said:

"I saw that place on the top of the mountain when I came here, come on, I'll take you there."

***
Because they were in a hurry, the two started running with all their strength, and saw this very special place before dark.

After getting closer, I found that there are earth walls around here, and there are ditches and bamboo walls around the outside. However, if the Japanese really want to attack, it is the era of hot weapons after all, and these precautionary measures are useless.

It can be seen through the gaps in the earthen walls, and you can see huge houses occupying hundreds of acres everywhere here, and the inside is a typical Chinese style.

La Ming pointed to the earthen walls, ditches, and bamboo walls surrounding the Chinese houses and whispered to Fang Linyan:

"These things seem to be defensive facilities built by the local Chinese, but they are not. They were originally built by the Japanese government. The purpose should be to prevent the people inside from going out and wandering around. , so it fell into disrepair for a long time."

"It must be that the relationship between Qing and Japan has deteriorated recently, and the local people felt threatened, so they repaired it."

Then the two also saw two patrol teams, and the clothes of these people were not Japanese. However, the discipline of the two teams was obviously very lax. Some people were smoking while walking, chatting unscrupulously, and sometimes laughing The sound can be heard from far away.

Among the two patrols, one of them went away directly after seeing Fang Linyan and the other two, probably thinking that the mere two of them could not pose any threat.

Another patrol team came over to question for a few words, and after finding out that their Chinese was slippery, they immediately regarded them as their own, became very enthusiastic, and took the initiative to take them into the interior of the Tangren's house.

After arriving here, the sky was already dark, and Fang Linyan found that the prosperity of this place can be said to be far higher than that of Nagasaki. Thousands of lanterns were hung on the entire street of Tangren's house like Shangyuan Festival, like stars. It fell like rain, and there were brightly lit shops and loud sales everywhere.

It is said that there are thousands of Japanese wandering girls here, and they will show sweet smiles to men at any time. It can be seen that as long as they give money, they can be willing to be one-night brides at any time.
Not only that, there are also blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners wandering in it, and it has completely formed a half-independent free port.

Such a prosperous international trade market is a slum full of paper and gold. Even Nagasaki Port looks like a slum here, but it is a slum full of vitality and fighting spirit.

Here you can see wealthy businessmen,

Just ask for the moment, the bold sailor,

A wealthy businessman who has fun with Japanese playgirls,
Tourists who come to hunt for novelty and look around,

Such a rich and magnificent scene makes people addicted and unable to extricate themselves. It really seems to be as extravagant as the traditional Japanese Ukiyo-e depicts, but this is also normal, because the purpose of the establishment of the Tang Dynasty house is to come here in the future All the money of all the people is squeezed out.

The two walked forward and found that there were still a large number of manpower rickshaws here, but the drivers were all short and strong Japanese. No matter if they were Chinese or foreigners, they would not do such a lowly job here.

And when they had no work, they gathered together, looked at the people around them with vigilant eyes, whispered some whispers, and occasionally licked their lips, with a greedy light in their eyes.

At this time, Fang Linyan and the two stopped at the door of a company called Zhonghua Guild Hall. The younger brother warmly invited them to come in and take a look, saying that the goods here are complete and the prices are fair.

Originally, Fang Linyan had no intention of going in, but suddenly thought of one thing, that is, when there is a war, the impact is on both sides.I am hoarding at BJ, so how about the prices in Nagasaki?
So Fang Linyan walked in, and after chatting with the second brother for a while, he realized that he didn't know many of the questions he asked. The second brother was also a little embarrassed, so he went to the inner hall to invite someone.

As a result, a fat middle-aged man walked out very quickly, smiling and looking very kind. After chatting for a few words, Fang Linyan felt that his conversation was good, so he announced his name: Hu Zhiyun.

Sure enough, the so-called shadow of a famous tree, the shopkeeper looked at him with strange eyes, and immediately laughed and said:

"It turns out that Xiongtai is a descendant of a famous family, so I'm sorry and disrespectful."

Fang Linyan laughed and said:

"A good man doesn't mention his bravery back then, not to mention the reputation earned by his father and grandparents, not to mention the notoriety of my subordinates now, and they have all come out to work alone."

The owner of the shop has a round face and looks like a friendly businessman who makes money. He has already introduced himself as Zheng. After hearing what Fang Linyan said, he immediately smiled knowingly and said:

"Actually, I'm quite a womanizer here. There are already six concubines here. It's the responsibility of our descendants to carry on the family line. What kind of crime is it?"

"Besides, lust is better than those who smoke opium and play with rabbits, right?"

Probably because he met someone of the same kind, the thirty-year-old Boss Zheng was quite close to Lin Yan in his words, and he knew everything about Lin Yan's problems, and the two chatted very well. speculate.

From his mouth, Fang Linyan also learned a key piece of information. Although China and Japan have gone to war, the traffic has not been cut off. There are still ships that can go directly from Nagasaki to Jinmen!This kind of smuggling ship was also called a heavy ship in Japan at this time.

At this time, the goods between the two places are soaring, and the huge profits of this heavy ship can be imagined. However, most of the profits of this ship will eventually fall into a man named Xixiang Geyi. man's hand inside.

This person is unknown, but the current Japanese Navy Minister is called Xixiang Congdao!It is necessary to think about the deep meaning behind this.

Fang Linyan was planning to go back to China at this time, and he was overjoyed when he heard the news, so he asked the boss Zheng Si if he could arrange a boat to go back. Boss Zheng agreed immediately, and said with a smile:

"Although the heavy ship has opened up the joints on the Japanese side, the Qing side still has not been able to fully open up, so although it will depart from Nagasaki, the final stop is not Tianjin Port, but in Tianjin Port. Huajiagang is a private port."

"Then unload the cargo there and then load it out by small boats. Huajiagang is far away from the patrol route of the Beiyang Fleet, so the risk is very small. But the reason why Huajiagang is a private port is safe because there are dozens of people nearby. There are dense reefs in the interior, and a familiar navigator must be there to guide the way, otherwise there is a danger of shipwreck and death at every turn."

"The navigator on the heavy ship is the boss of the ship that our Zheng family sent out before. It is difficult to arrange the cargo, but it is easy to arrange a few guests."

Afterwards, the two had some conversations, and then Fang Linyan found out that this Boss Zheng was also from a famous family, named Zheng Jiaguang, and he was the seventh generation descendant of Zheng Chenggong. Today, there are eight out of ten houses in this Tang Dynasty house. Nine belong to the Zheng family.

At this moment, behind the shop, you can still vaguely see a spacious backyard, as well as the sound of talking and laughing. It should be that Boss Zheng is having a feast with a group of friends.

Seeing that Boss Zheng acted boldly and generously, Fang Linyan also had a good impression of him. After pondering for a while, he said to Boss Zheng:
"Actually, I have a few words from the bottom of my heart that I want to share with Brother Zheng."

Boss Zheng heard Fang Linyan's seriousness, so he said seriously:
"Please speak up if you have something to say."

Fang Linyan turned around, looked at the bright lights outside, and said slowly:
"This Tang Dynasty house looks like a flower scene at this time, and the fire is cooking oil, but in fact it is already in danger, and it is about to become a ghost in the world."

Boss Zheng's expression changed and he said:

"Why did Mr. Hu say such a thing?"

Fang Linyan said:

"The Nissin war has been going on for more than ten days, and the prosperity and wealth inside this Tang Dynasty house must have been coveted by the nearby Japanese."

"At this time, the Japanese are poor, tenacious, and greedy. They must have been coveting this place for too long. I doubt that they will take action here just recently! At that time, they will really be under the collapse of the nest. Finished egg!"

After listening to Fang Linyan's words, Boss Zheng sighed and said:

"Actually, I also have hidden worries about this matter, but most of the opinions in the family disagree with me. They think everything is under control, and I am scaremongering."

"However, my uncle is actually very good-looking. He even has a very good personal relationship with the current Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi. The two even had a kaiseki meal together last month. A large amount of donations have been paid to Nagasaki, so most of the people in the clan think that the Japanese dare not act rashly."

"What I can do is to contact a few cousins ​​in the clan, and pay some people to patrol the neighborhood, hoping to make the other party a little afraid."

Fang Linyan sighed and said:

"Brother Zheng, if you are not of my race, your heart must be different. Besides, it is very inappropriate to entrust the safety of your entire clan on the conscience and conscience of a Japanese."
