Chapter 40

The god judge and his brother returned to the same hotel, and the two gathered in a room with the men with swords.

"You will return your honwan tomorrow." Qinghe said to the interrogator, without any tone of discussion.

"Why, I haven't found out why the retrograde army wanted to assassinate Ishida Mitsunari." Naturally, the interrogator was unwilling.

"You will never understand, because they have no brains at all." Qinghe said, "Since you went there today, your thoughts should be on the same line as mine. It is too dangerous to directly assassinate Ishida Mitsunari, so people around him have accidents very likely."

"This is clearly a Japanese war zone, why would retrograde troops appear at night?" the interrogator asked.

"It's not that there are retrograde troops only during the daytime in the Japanese war zone, and killing them with a stick will only limit your thinking." Qinghe said, and walked to the door of the room, "Staying here consumes too much spiritual power, you go back tomorrow, the rest Leave it to me."

The judge sighed. Although she really wanted to find out by herself, she knew that her ability was obviously insufficient compared to her elder brother. "Then tell me what you found."

Qinghe nodded, and left with his sword.

After he left, the three men with swords and swords behind the god judge seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and bent their kneeling straight bodies.

"Master...your brother's aura is too strong...Just being with him is depressing." Xiaohuwan thumped his back.

"Now I feel that I am too handsome to be able to follow behind such an adult." Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada laughed.

The judge curled his lips helplessly: "Okay, now we are kicked out by him, let's go back to Honmaru tomorrow."

"Hahaha, it's not necessarily a bad thing to go back first, such a job is too dangerous for you." Sanriyue Zongjin said, "Well... since there are powerful interrogators who are willing to investigate, why not do it? "

"That's right." The judge nodded, "Judging from today's situation, the reason why the Tokugawa army has changed should be because of Kobayakawa Hideaki. And Kobayakawa Hideaki dared to do this, he must have some bargaining chips in his hands. It should be irrelevant."

"I guess my brother should have found out about it a long time ago, and he has a countermeasure, otherwise he wouldn't be sitting next to them drinking so ostentatiously." The judge said, slapping his thigh, "What a stinking man, he is arbitrary, he deserves to be single."

The men with swords can't laugh or cry.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's all go back and rest." The judge said, waving his hands to drive the men with swords out.

Naturally, they also wanted to quickly change their clothes and remove the makeup on their faces, so they simply left.

The god judge was sitting in the room, just as he combed his hair back, Xiaohuwan ran over again.

He only took off his makeup, still wearing the bright yellow kimono in the flower building.

"What else do you need?" the interrogator asked him.

With one hand on the door frame, Xiaohuwan looked at the examiner expectantly: "There's nothing wrong... But Xiaohu just feels that he can't let go of the opportunity to be alone with you tonight."

The judge was a little surprised, and put down the comb in his hand: "You..."

Xiaohuwan knew that in this situation, the god judge had no intention of romantic affairs at all, so he proposed: "It's only nine o'clock in the evening, master, do you want to go outside with Xiaohu and go shopping?"

The judge glanced out the window. The Hana Street, located not far from Toyotomi Hideyoshi’s cemetery, seemed to be in stark contrast with the sacred Fengguo Temple.

The examiner saw jewelry stalls, shops selling clothing and porcelain, and various snacks.

She buckled the comb on the dressing table.

"Walk."

One by one, they left the hotel and came to the still lively street.

"Master, the dress that Hualou's mother-san chose for you is so beautiful!" Xiaohumaru put her hands in front of her, inserted her wide sleeves and followed behind her.

The god judge glanced at the heavy clothes on his body: "Is it because it is the same color as your clothes?"

Xiaohumaru blinked and didn't speak, but the raised hair on his head moved, revealing his thoughts.

The judge glanced at him and came to a soba noodle stand.People's diet in this era is still relatively simple, and the food stalls are basically pastries and pasta.

"Do you want to eat it?" the god interrogator asked Xiaohuwan who was behind him, and Xiaohuwan nodded.

"Boss, two bowls of soba noodles." The judge gestured to the noodle stall owner, and then handed him the coins that he had exchanged before.

"Okay!" The boss replied: "Little girl, it's not peaceful recently, go back early after eating!"

"Thank you." The judge thanked the store owner with a smile, and pointed to Xiaohuwan behind him, "But I brought bodyguards."

The owner of the noodle stall laughed loudly: "I can't see that you are married!"

The judge was stunned: "No, no, he is not."

But because of these words, Xiaohumaru developed a lot of affection for the shop owner.

The appraiser lifted his clothes and sat down at the small table of the noodle stall.

Xiao Huwan also sat opposite to her, and asked her inexplicably: "Master, if you want to eat, you can eat it at the hotel, or ask Candlestick to make it for you. Why do you have to eat it in this kind of place?"

"You don't understand that." The judge took out two pairs of chopsticks from the small tube next to him, and handed another pair to Xiaohuwan, "Of course it's because the food at this kind of stall makes you feel better when you eat it."

Xiaohuwan took the chopsticks, still looked at her puzzled, but didn't say anything.

The shop owner quickly brought up the soba noodles, and the judge tossed his long hair behind him, and started eating with chopsticks.

Xiaohuwan saw that she was eating with relish, picked it up and tasted it with chopsticks, it was really good, so he started to eat it too.

After eating one knife at a time, the judge dragged Xiao Humaru to watch the wooden boat sailing on the street.

There are tall shelves on the wooden boat, and the shelves are full of paper lanterns, which illuminate the night sky.

Due to the large number of people watching, the judge and Xiaohuwan didn't push forward, but stood by a small mask selling stall to watch.

But they were too far away, and there were human heads in front of them. Even if the judge stood on tiptoes and raised his neck, he couldn't see the staff members standing on the boat performing their talents.

Xiaohumaru lowered his head, stretched out his hand to support the waist of the god judge, and hugged his master.

Her body suddenly soared into the air, which startled the interrogator. With a cry of surprise, she quickly grabbed Xiaohumaru's white hair until she sat firmly on his strong arm.

"Master, you are pulling my hair so roughly, Xiaohu is going to be bald." Xiaohumaru joked with her with a smile.

The judge let go of his hand, and patted the top of his scratched head as if dusting off dust.

"Can you see it?" Xiaohumaru looked up and asked her.

The judge nodded: "I can see it."

The staff on the wooden boat did not perform any novel talents, just those common in ancient times, blowing a torch and throwing a few balls.

The judge looked at it, and his eyes were attracted by a sneaky man beside him.

While everyone was looking at the cruise ship, the man looked around and got into a room beside him.

The judge knocked on Xiaohuwan's head: "Look over there, is there a thief in that house?"

Xiaohumaru smiled helplessly: "No, that human's practice is called 'night crawling', which is popularly known as night crawling."

"Crawling at night? Isn't that just stealing?" The interrogator thought about going on, but Xiaohumaru held her legs tightly, "What are you doing, let me go down."

"Master, night crawling is not what you think..." Xiaohuwan looked at the judge and explained to her, "Night crawling refers to a man sneaking into a woman's bedroom at night to seek sex. Of course, this is a requirement The next step can only be carried out with the consent of the other party. This object may be a girl, or it may be a married woman. In the case of a married woman, it can only be done when her husband is not at home."

The judge looked at him in disbelief: "Your ancient Japanese folk customs are so open...?"

After all, in ancient China, women's chastity was regarded as more important than their lives. Such a comparison is obviously surprising.

"This is not a folk custom worth making a fuss about. Everyone is just gaining experience and meeting their needs openly." Xiaohumaru shrugged.

"It's reasonable to be like a man or a wife!" The interrogator patted the top of his head, "Besides, how do you know that he is crawling at night, not stealing?"

Xiaohuwan narrowed one eye in pain, lowered his arms so that the judge was level with him, leaned close to her ear and said: "Because the little fox's hearing is not bad, I can hear the voices inside."

The judge was taken aback, and gave him a disapproving look.

The latter smiled and asked: "Master, can the little fox crawl into your inner room at night?"

The judge angrily pushed him away, and stood back on the ground again.

The parade was almost coming to an end, and the crowd began to gradually disperse.

The judge turned around and saw a mask-selling stall behind her. A white fox mask caught her attention.

This is a fox mask with a red pattern printed on a white background.The red ink paints makeup-like lines around the eyes, between the forehead and the corners of the lips, carrying a mysterious and sacred isolation from the world.

The judge simply bought the mask, took the mask off the shelf, and put it on his face.

But it was hard to see clearly through the gaps, and her breathing was not smooth, so she quickly moved the mask to the side of her face.

"How? Is this mask good-looking?" the judge asked Xiaohuwan.

Xiaohumaru looked at the judge, the woman was wearing a bright yellow traditional Japanese robe, her cold face was wearing just the right amount of light makeup, and her thin red lips seemed to bleed.She wore a fox mask on the side of her head, covered her mouth with her sleeves, narrowed her beautiful eyes, and asked his opinion with a smile.

The bright lights of the street imprinted behind her, softening her old edges and corners, making her look so beautiful and unreal.

"It's almost like a bride who is about to marry a fox fairy." Xiaohuwan narrowed her eyes with a smile, and covered the side face of the god judge with her big hand, her eyes were full of infatuation.

"For Xiaohu, you are the most beautiful scenery in the world."
