I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

The latest website: "...Go!" Imai ordered the two subordinates beside him in a deep voice, "Tie up Kuro Mamiya!"

"Yes!"

The two officials standing on the left and right sides of Imai immediately stepped forward, stood on the left and right sides of Gamiya, twisted Gamiya's hands to the back, and then tied Gamiya's hands tightly with a thick and long hemp rope. Then put Mamiya in front of Imai.

"Kurō Mamiya." Imai cast a vicious look at Mamiya, "Although I don't know what the hell you're planning."

"But since you have fallen into our hands, we will not let you go!"

"We will torture you slowly until you spit out all the information related to the 'Buddha Enemy'!"

"That's it..."

After quietly listening to Imai's terrifying words, Mamiya's face remained unchanged, as if he didn't take what Imai said just now to heart.

"Then I'm really afraid."

In the end, he still didn't forget to say this to Imai in a slightly mocking tone.

"Put down Mamiya Kuro!" Imai seemed to be annoyed by Mamiya's faint taunt just now, and ordered his subordinates in a violent tone, "Also, put the 2nd man who was thrown on the ground by Mamiya just now!" Bring the knife too!"

"Yes!"

"That's right." Mamiya, who was about to be escorted out of the room by the officials, turned his head and looked at Imai, "I still don't know how you came here after me? How do you know that I am in the base camp of the Negishi family now? ? And—how did you know that I was also in the Tatsuno clan?"

Hearing Mamiya's question, Imai showed a bit of complacency on his face.

"Gamiya, you are very cautious, but you missed a step--Master Hasegawa and I both recognize the appearance of a wound cut by your unique skill 'Shen Guang'."

As soon as Imai's words fell, Mamiya gave a soft "oh".

"So that's it... It seems that I really miscalculated... When I killed the guards in the casino yesterday, I shouldn't have used 'Shen Guang'."

"Exactly.

Kuro Mamiya, this is your only and biggest mistake. "

"We recognized that one of the guards in the casino was killed by your 'Shen Guang', so naturally we know that besides 'Buddha's Enemy', you, the subordinate of 'Buddha's Enemy', are also here."

"Now that I know you're here, it's easy to handle."

"We know what you look like, and we can just go around looking for samurai wearing glasses."

"This morning, I learned from an old lady in Matsucho that a samurai wearing glasses and a samurai wearing a light green feather are going to Yukaku."

"That's why we were able to reach that tower in such a timely manner just now and spread out the encirclement net."

"As for why we know that you are now in the base camp of the Negishi family, it is even simpler."

"Although we don't know what the 'Buddha Enemy' and you came to Tatsuno Fan for."

"But you slaughtered the casino opened by the Negishi family yesterday—this is quite information worth investigating for us."

"Master Hasegawa boldly guessed that the reason why you came to the Tatsuno clan with the 'Buddha Enemy' is most likely related to the Negishi family."

"So as early as last night, we came to the location of the base camp of the Negishi family from the elder of Tatsuno Fan, and then sent people to guard the outside of this mansion early."

"Their task is only one - as soon as they see the 'Buddha Enemy' or you are close to the base camp of the Negishi family, report to us immediately."

"Just now, when you and your companion in light green feathers charged towards this mansion, the secret sentry we set up here immediately flew back to Matsumachi to report to us."

"After receiving this report from the secret sentry, we rushed over quickly."

"Now that I think about it carefully, we have to thank the 'Yakuza' of the Negishi family."

"If it wasn't because they delayed you and bought enough time for our arrival, otherwise you might have to slip away again!"

"So that's how it is..." After quietly listening to Imai's explanation, Mamiya heaved a sigh of relief, and then sighed softly, "You guys counted him as dead..."

...

...

Before Imai led his subordinates to the third floor——

"It's not Mamiya Kuro..."

After the middle-aged man standing in front of all the officials muttered something softly, Chao Ogata asked:

"It's a face I haven't seen before... Are you a new companion of 'Buddha Enemy'?"

"'Buddha Enemy'?" Ogata raised his eyebrows, "If the 'Buddha Enemy' you refer to is Oda Nobunaga from the Warring States Period, then of course I am not."

"How could I be the companion of the 'Sixth Heaven Demon King' who has been dead for two hundred years?"

"You don't seem to know who the 'Buddha Enemy' is..." The middle-aged man looked Ogata up and down several times, "Look carefully... I seem to have seen you somewhere before... Who are you? Get your name on!"

As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, a young man standing behind the middle-aged man yelled loudly.

"Tangerine, what's the matter?"

"Master Hasegawa! I remember who this person is!"

The young man called "Jiang" by the middle-aged man took out a large stack of papers from his arms, and then rummaged through the stack of papers.

"Master Hasegawa! That's him! This is the arrest warrant for this person!"

While talking, Tachibana took out one of the papers from the stack and handed it to Hasegawa.

"He is the 'Executioner Ichitosai' Ogata Yasushi who assassinated the lord of the Hirose domain and slaughtered hundreds of guards of the lord of the Hirose domain last autumn!"

The middle-aged man took the arrest warrant from Tachibana, looked at the arrest warrant in his hand, and then at Ogata in front of him.

"...So you are 'Executioner Yidao Zhai'."

While speaking, the middle-aged man returned the wanted warrant to Ju behind him.

"No wonder I always feel like I've seen you somewhere."

"I took a look at your wanted notice."

"But because you are not the thief responsible for our Huofu Thief Kai, so we didn't pay attention to you."

Ogata scanned the officials in front of him with vigilant eyes from the beginning to the end.

"...The young man called you 'Master Hasegawa' just now."

Ogata asked the middle-aged man.

"Are you the chief officer of Huofu Bandit Kai-Hasegawa Heizo?"

"That's right." The middle-aged man replied without hesitation, "I am Hasegawa Heizo. If you find it troublesome to call my name, you can just call me 'Onihira'."

"I don't know why the Huofu Thief Kai, who is responsible for catching thieves and arsonists, appears here?" Ogata asked Hasegawa again, this time Ogata's tone was a little joking, "You guys specialize in catching arsonists. Criminals and thieves, what do I, a murderer, do?"
