Mystery One, Toyotomi's Secret Order

Perhaps a clue can be found. "

At this time, Jiang Long's stomach also made a series of grunting noises, and it was difficult for his companions to turn a deaf ear to them.

"Alright! Before going back, find something to cushion the five internal organs temple."

"That's right. An empty stomach means an empty mind. Can you come up with a good idea? I don't think even the emperor can help..."

Jiang Long returned to be righteous and strict.

"Yes! If you don't leave, I'm afraid that the gurgling noise will attract all the guards in a while, and then...you can't go...even if you want to go."

"Then let's go down the mountain quickly, so as not to let the devils get on us..."

Just before dawn, the two walked down Zhongshan quickly.

Turn enemies into friends

Nanjing in [-]

After Zhang Wei and Jiang Long went down the mountain, they came to the market near the Confucius Temple by the Qinhuai River.The noise of people coming and going after the opening of the market at dawn made people almost forget the tragic massacre that happened here more than two years ago (1937) that shocked the whole world.

The two found a breakfast shop near the Confucius Temple to sacrifice to the already hungry Wu Zang Temple.Although it is not the first time to try "Chaopai" (Note: People in northern Jiangsu call sesame seed cakes, because the rectangular shape of the cakes is very similar to the court cards held by ancient ministers when they went to court, so they got their name.) breakfast rolled with deep-fried dough sticks.But Zhang Wei still felt that it was very fresh, and repeatedly praised this Chinese-style Italian pancake wrapped with spring rolls without fillings as a masterpiece in the world.

For Zhang Wei, the sweet soy milk from Nanjing is much smoother than the sour soy milk from Beiping.After a night of tossing, the two whetted their appetites. They each ate two sets of cakes, plus a basket of steamed buns and dumplings.In addition, Jiang Long also asked for more than a dozen court cards, saying that he would carry them with him to prepare for the long-term battle in the following night.

The two deliberately chose to dine in a crowded market, the real intention was to inquire about some news conveniently.There are a lot of traffickers and pawns in the market, and there are many people of different religions and nine streams, and they are also well-informed.Sure enough, a conversation between the two came from the oven ahead.

"Old Liu, have you registered yet?"

The middle-aged boss, who was busy pasting sesame seed cakes in the stove, was sweating profusely and looked back at the slightly fat woman of some age.

"I said Mrs. Ma! Life is going to be hard... Where is the time to register?"

"It's better to register quickly. I heard that this time is late, but you will be fined a lot of money." The aunt urged enthusiastically.

"Punish me? Now the Japanese and the traitors are all in power, and they are all slaves to the country. How about registering a household registration? Registering as slaves to the country?!"

The angry boss put the cloth towel on his shoulders, and cursed loudly with his cheeks as red as a stove, which immediately attracted the attention of Zhang Wei and Jiang Long.

The aunt quickly winked at the boss, her eyes drifted to the two outsiders, and she said in a low voice: "Be careful, walls have ears. Old Liu, don't get yourself into trouble."

Zhang Wei and Jiang Long found that the aunt's eyes were directed at them, and of course they knew that they were the target that the aunt said had ears behind the wall.Jiang Longna, who has always been straightforward, could bear the bird's anger, and stood up with a shake, intending to explain to him.Zhang Wei first shot and held down his companion.He got up without any haste, walked towards the boss and the aunt, and bowed to the two of them calmly.

"Hello, my name is Zhang Wei, and I'm an American. But don't call me a foreign devil. I'm not a Han Chinese, so I can't be what you call a "traitor". However, I'm not interested in being a devil's lackey, I'd rather be a Chinese friends. Don’t get me wrong.”

Aunt Ma with a slightly blessed figure, and a black mole the size of a mung bean on her left cheek next to her nose is called Zhang Wei. When she said this, she seemed to have drunk a big mouthful of spicy white wine, her face was flushed, and she couldn't even utter a word. come out.

After hearing Zhang Wei's humorous yet serious confession, the owner of the breakfast shop said, "Mr. Zhang, don't mind, Mrs. Ma has no malicious intentions. There is a lot of chaos these days, and most of the people who come to my small shop are Neighbors. You two are unfamiliar, so naturally attract some attention. Don’t take it to heart.”

In fact, Zhang Wei was not angry at all in his heart.But you have to make your position clear so as not to make enemies.Zhang Wei smiled and nodded to show understanding and friendliness: "We are on your side. Don't treat us as traitors, I can't bear it!"

Zhang Wei's words caused a burst of laughter, and the distance between them was instantly shortened.Jiang Long was willing to let go of this opportunity, and hurriedly beat the side drum: "You really don't know Mount Tai. This Dr. Zhang can bring back many national treasures for our China. You still treat him as a traitor, what a joke." It can be opened up..."

Zhang Wei gave his companion a look, telling him not to be confused.

When Boss Liu and Aunt Ma heard the words, they had no choice but to keep asking Zhang Wei to accompany him.

"Dr. Zhang. You adults don't remember villains...don't take our words to heart!"

"It's not your fault. It's not your fault. Don't listen to my friend babbling...he just likes to joke."

Boss Liu immediately showed the simple and enthusiastic side of Nanjing people.

"I'm treating you to this breakfast. Dr. Zhang, please don't refuse. If you decline, you won't give me old Liu face."

Faced with this enthusiasm, Zhang Wei's heart immediately felt warm.

Jiang Long took the opportunity to speak: "Boss Liu, Dr. Zhang came to Nanjing this time to help an international organization investigate the Japanese devils who took advantage of the fire to rob our national treasure? Is there anything unusual recently?"

Boss Liu wiped the sweat off his forehead with a cloth towel, frowned and pondered for a long time, and then said: "Recently, there is no special news."

Unexpectedly, the words fell to the ground, and the outspoken aunt beside him interrupted: "Whoever said there is no, there was a toon a few days ago."

The attention of the three of them immediately turned to the aunt.

"Ma'am, what's so strange?"

"A few days ago, someone came to our door and asked to see our family tree. Tell me, can you show your family tree to outsiders casually?"

Boss Liu was also full of doubts.

"Yeah? It's strange these days, why look at other people's family trees?"

"Yes, this is the first time I, Jiang Long, have heard of this."

Zhang Wei knew something was wrong, and immediately asked again: "Did that person say what it is for?"

"They first asked me if I had it? Then they borrowed it from me? I didn't respond, so they took out the money and asked to buy it. They said it was for research on Chinese surnames, and they said it was a professor at a university. Anyway, three or four guys came. , all of them are dressed in suits and look like human beings."

Jiang Long asked: "Then aunt, you didn't give it to him, did you?"

Aunt Ma raised her lips, with a hint of pride, and replied: "Of course not! They thought that I, an old woman, had never seen the world, and wanted to kill me. At that time, I thought this was strange, so I reasoned that I had never looked at the genealogy. , and send them away."

Jiang Long hastened to add a heartfelt sentence: "Ma'am, you... are really clever!"

I saw Mrs. Ma smiling happily from ear to ear, covering her teeth with her hand.

"Look what you said. I just don't feel right about this."

Hearing Mrs. Ma's words, a dark cloud immediately came to Zhang Wei's heart, and he also felt that this matter was weird, and it could never be as simple as it said on the surface.He bowed his head to think, then put together the conversations he heard after entering the store, and rethought it for a while, and then if he realized something, he said: "So, next, you need to register? You also need to take your family tree with you? "

As soon as Zhang Wei said this, Aunt Ma's blushing smiling face suddenly turned pale, and she asked anxiously, "Yes! How do you know about this?"

Zhang Wei frowned deeply, and sank his buttocks on the bench.

"Looks like they're looking for something?"

Hearing what Zhang Wei said, Boss Liu was also a little flustered.

"Who are they? What are they looking for? Doctor."

Zhang Wei raised his head and looked at Boss Liu who was sweating profusely and anxious.

"I think there may be ... the Japanese behind this. They ... are looking for something about ... your ancestors. That's why they tried to ask for a genealogy."

"What does the devil want our family tree to do?"

Jiang Long interjected and asked, "Boss Liu, don't you know that Zhongshan and Niushoushan in the suburbs of Nanjing have been sealed by devils recently?"

"I know! You have not been allowed to go up the mountain since before Qingming. Damn these devils, they don't know that sweeping tombs and worshiping ancestors during Qingming is a major event for us Chinese. The mountain will not be closed early, and it will not be closed later, but it is chosen at this time. It's really fucking , son of a bitch!"

Zhang Wei thought about the matter deeply, knowing that there must be a big problem with this matter.

"I speculate that these two things may be related. There are many ancient tombs in these two places, and now you are required to bring your genealogy to register your household registration and check the details of your ancestors. The Japanese did this... definitely not without purpose ?”

After hearing Zhang Bin's analysis, Madam Ma became even more flustered. She took Zhang Bin's hand and asked, "You are right, doctor. You have to help us come up with an idea, in case this devil really comes to the door. What should we do?" manage?"

Zhang Wei stood up and glanced at the aunt and the boss.

"Auntie, don't worry. When this happened, I acted like a fool. It was said that the dynasties had changed several times. Who knew about the ancestors in the years of war and chaos. I only remember the three generations of father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. The internal things, the rest... When the Japanese army entered the city a few years ago, when the ancestral hall was destroyed, it was all burned... It's gone! Tell these people to go to the Japanese for..."

"That's right... call the devil a traitor... go to the devil and ask for...these bastards." Boss Liu cursed angrily.

Hearing what Zhang Wei said, Boss Liu and Aunt Ma were relieved of their burdens, and their faces showed a little joy.

"He... a doctor is a doctor, and he really knows that there are more people than us. We really met, so according to the doctor, let's pretend to be crazy. Is it possible that the devil can insist that my old Liu...is a descendant of Liu Bang and Liu Bei no?"

Zhang Wei and Boss Liu sang together, which relieved Aunt Ma's frowning a lot.

Zhang Jianbian pursed his mouth, folded his hands on his chest, lowered his head and closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and then said again: "Don't worry. I don't think these people have a clue yet. The city of Nanjing
