Edo Traveler

Chapter 3: Pursue year-end performance

   The rice ball in the second hand was stuffed into his stomach, and the man stretched out immediately. Although he didn't even have half fullness, his body could warm up if the food fell off.

   Heizo was eating brown rice dumplings with small bites, and then ran to the soil to get a large scoop of cold water. There was a cast iron pot hanging from the firepit, and the water was poured into the pot. The two of them stared at the pot in a daze.

   Xu felt that his feet were cold, so he took off his socks and moved his feet closer to the firepit. Only then did Chuemon remember that he was wearing only a pair of single shoes in this winter, and the thin cloth was probably better than straw sandals.

   Putting away the gauze is a bit transparent, and the cloth stockings with the warp and weft stretched by the toes, Ping San smiled. The two are brothers in the monastery who grew up together, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about. For Chuemon, he often fell silent, quite uninterested, and accustomed to it.

   After all, the former Chuemon Gate was covered by an old resident monk, who was trained as the heir to the temple. It is normal to not adapt to a person's life right now. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been running around to hang out with Chuemon, besides being able to go out to eat delicious food, he was mainly worried about Chuemon.

   "I'm afraid I can't sleep for too long tonight, let's go out at night." Ping San warmed up and said.

   "What?" Chuemon was curious.

   It’s okay to eat for nothing, and it’s okay to find food, but we can’t do business that kills people in the middle of the night. With this small body, I don't have the power to bind a chicken, I can't take a kitchen knife, and I can't get over the wall, how can I go out and do a worthless business.

   And this Ping San doesn't look like a big gangster. He has an ordinary round face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looks square. With diligent hands and feet, and no habit of smoking or drinking, why should I go out in the middle of the night to make trouble.

   "During the day, I heard from my family that it was a matter of Ji Yuan tonight." Ping San sat up straight.

   "Yoshihara? Oh, that place..." Chuemon smashed his mouth.

  It's famous, no one in Edo knows where Yoshihara is. It's a street in Kabukicho. The happy place of No. 1 Tianzi, the dreamland of all men except the general in Edo at this moment. It is not only a gold-selling cave in the world, but also a gentle mound in the world. The taste is all personally experienced.

   "Tonight, the temple shrine has ordered Todayama Castle Shou-sama to make a surprise inspection of Yoshihara."

   Temple Shrine conducts inspection of Kabukicho? What the **** is this? If you are in Edo Town, it’s fine. After all, Edo Town is the mayor of Edo. It manages all matters of Edo. It is understandable to make a surprise inspection of the weathered places a year ago. Let everyone prevent fire and theft during the Chinese New Year. Operate and celebrate the New Year.

   As for this Toda Yamashiro-sama (actually he will be called Toda Yamashiro, or Todayama Castle), his name is Toda Tadaon, the lord of Shimo Utsunomiya, and he is thirty-eight years old this year. The current shogunate Bankenji Shrine is the minister of the shogunate on duty this month.

   The other three temple shrines that are not on duty are Tadashi Matsudaira, Masamori Inaba, and Masahiro Abe, let’s not mention them. The only thing that needs to be said is that Masahiro Abe is his nephew, and his partner is also a good talk.

   "I understand Yoshihara inspection, but why did Lord Toda send an inspection?"

   "Why did you say?" Heizo stretched out his hand and pointed at Chuemon and then at himself.

   "To catch us?" Chuemon didn't react for a while.

   "To catch the monk!"

   "!!!"

   Good fellow, this Master Toda is a bit interesting. In the middle of the night, he was preparing to raid the weathered places, and he still wanted to catch the monk. Is this trying to punish the bad habits of the religious world?

   is like Yixiangzong, that is openly allowing monks to marry wives and have children. Some other sects do not prohibit monks from marrying, and even if they are forbidden to marry a wife, no one will care about what happens to you secretly and the masters.

   Chungemon suspected that he was the illegitimate child of the old resident monk, otherwise, why should he pass the mantle to himself. The residences in other monasteries, except for the famous monasteries of the department, require the approval of officials and generals to take up their positions, and they have basically evolved into temples for descendants, passed down from father to son, and become monks from generation to generation.

   In the 21st century, many Sakura girls’ spouses are the monks who have the right to inherit the temple. Those big monasteries not only have rich incense money, but also other messy income, and also have a lot of real estate and temple properties. Their small lives are much better than ordinary civil servants and club members.

   "It's the end of the year, Master Toda wants everyone to have a good year."

   "Have a good year?"

   "Oh, you don't understand, just follow me." Heizo looked at Chuemon's face with confusion, and he didn't bother to explain. There were so many things that Chuemon didn't understand, and he didn't want to perfunctory.

   "I understand, why don't I understand, I must be fined." Tademon came across, UU reading www.uukanshu.com can not understand this routine.

  This kind of thing, as long as it is a government agency with the right to fines, no matter what modern democratic government or feudal government, you can’t use it hard.

   The monk has money, and the government has the right!

   I'm sorry!

   Nowadays, the shogunate has become more and more financially difficult due to the Great Famine of the Tempo. Although the salary can barely be supported, the salary that can be supported is not enough for the lives of the Qimoto and the Yu family. The position of the shogunate is that there are more monks and less porridge. There are four to five thousand banners and more than 20,000 waiters. So many people are counting on the general to eat. Even if the general receives 4.5 million days, it is not enough to eat.

   Since there is not enough food, then I can only give full play to my subjective initiative and find food for myself. Corruption and bribery are not uncommon among the high-level shogunate, but at the grassroots level where there is no oil and water, you have no chance of embezzlement and bribery. At most, when you go to the countryside to collect the annual tribute, you can eat and drink and sleep with wildflowers, and that's it.

   It's rare that this Toda-sama could even think of this trick, knowing that there are many flower monks, and flower monks are also very rich, the shogunate law strictly prohibits monks from entering and leaving the weathered places. If this is caught, even though it won't be beheaded or put to death or something, it's not just right to punish you two or two.

   But Toda Tadashi is practiced by the temple and shrine. He can honourably catch the monk and fine him, and then pay his subordinates Yuli and Tongxin some new year's fees. What does this have to do with Chungemon and Heizo, they are not concentric people under the command of the temple, nor are they public servants, and they cannot be fined.

   Heizo said that Chuemon didn't understand, and he seemed to be right!

   "You just follow me, I can still lie to you!" Ping San's young age, a harmless little round face with humans and animals, unexpectedly showed a treacherous look that was completely incompatible with his age.
