However, if you observe carefully, you will definitely find that the atmosphere of the town at this time has completely changed.

"Hey, do you know what happened last night?"

"I knew it earlier."

"Oh, this is really... a feeling like 'when I wake up, the whole Kanto has changed'."

"The 'Chantian' is not going to happen. The Qingshui family tree has big roots and deep roots. Such a small amount of trauma is not enough to topple it."

"However, even the wealthy Qingshui clan will feel deeply hurt after being kicked out for 13 times, right?"

"Tch, what do you know? For a Yakuza organization at the level of the Qingshui clan, losing a little money is nothing. Losing money is a small thing, but losing face is a big thing! Yakuza can give up anything, but they can't lose face.

!If the Qingshui clan doesn’t try to save their face as soon as possible, how will people view them afterwards?”

"Well...that's true."

"Why does that Tachibana Aoden have trouble with the Qingshui clan? Is there any grudge between them?"

"Who knows."

"Humph, I never thought that the damn Qingshui clan would suffer a big blow. It deserves it!"

"Shush, shush, shush! Be careful, the walls have ears!"

…

Conversations similar to this can be heard everywhere.

Logically speaking, if such important news happened, it would be published on the tile board the next day.

However, the tile vendors were afraid of the pressure from the Qingshui clan and did not dare to publish any information about last night's incident on their tiles.

The so-called "tile-ban tabloid" can be understood as a newspaper from the Edo period.

In the early 17th century, a newspaper-like reading material called "tile board" appeared for the first time in Osaka, the "commercial capital".

It is an unofficial reading material, freely printed and sold by the public.

To make a tile reading book, you first need to carve it out of clay, then burn the clay into tiles, and then use these tiles to print the content onto paper.

With the development of technology, tiles are no longer limited to clay printing, and tiles printed with woodblocks have also appeared.

Waban will report various types of news, including civil wars, riots, murders, earthquakes, fires, black ship attacks and other news-like information, as well as some love killings, vendettas, freaks, prodigies, etc.

Legends of exotic animals and other entertaining gossip and legends.

Tile tile vendors read out today's hot news aloud while selling to citizens on the street - this is one of the most common street scenes in major cities such as Edo, Kyoto, and Osaka.

The Qingshui clan can use their own power to force the tile vendors to shut up.

But no matter how powerful they are, they can't stop Youyou's mouth.

Teahouses, izakayas, bathhouses... wherever people gathered, they were discussing Qingnobo's righteous deeds.

Yes, a righteous act.

No human being with a normal mind would have a favorable impression of the Yakuza group.

The common people of Edo have long hated the Shimizu clan for their evil deeds.

It's just that I feel powerless to resist, so I can only swallow my anger.

Therefore, after learning that Qingdeng had accomplished the feat that they had always wanted to do but dared not do, they all felt like a great revenge had been avenged, and they let out a bad feeling.

The men looked fascinated.

The women's eyes were filled with brilliance.

The hearts of thousands of people in Edo were all touched by the same person.

…

…

Edo, Yoshiwara——

After listening to the report of his subordinates, "Yoshiwara Tongxin" Gua Shengxiu smiled bitterly and said to himself:

"This Tachibana Aoden... really looks like Mr. Ogata... if he doesn't chirp, it's enough. If he chirps, it will make people's jaws drop..."

…

…

Edo, a settlement of Westerners——

Elodie jumped down from her chair and looked at LeRoyin in front of her with surprise.

"Miss Leroy, the teacher has shown up? Please tell me in detail!"

…

…

Edo, the Imperial Guard Hall——

"Ah Sui! Ah Sui!"

"Don't be so loud, it's so noisy, I heard you."

Hijikata Toshizo glanced helplessly at Kondo Isamu behind him.

"Ah Sui, you..."

Kondo had just begun to speak when he was interrupted by Hijikata:

"I already know about the 'Tangerine Night Attack on the Qingshui Clan'."

"You already know? That's fine, you can save me the trouble. Ah Sui, in your opinion, why did Mr. Ju come into conflict with the Qingshui clan?"

"How do I know this kind of thing?"

Hijikata said angrily.

"I'm not a roundworm in his stomach."

Having said this, Hijikata paused for a moment.

Suddenly, he continued with a thoughtful expression.

"The only thing that is certain now...is that Tachibana is determined to fight against the Qingshui clan."

Hijikata clicked his tongue.

"I kicked him 13 times...I didn't even save any face...This is completely a life-and-death relationship..."

…

…

Edo, Chishiya——

Click, click, click...

A bright red color rushed towards the Thousand Things House not far away at a very fast speed.

She likes to wear red clothes, is petite, and is agile—it is Mai Kinoshita.

"Mr. Kiryu! Mr. Kiryu!"

Kinoshita Mai pushed open the shop door and shouted excitedly:

"Mr. Kiryu, Tachibana-kun, he...eh?"

As soon as she opened her mouth, the rest of the words stuck in her throat.

The reason for this was because there was a tall figure standing in the Thousand Things House that she had not expected.

"Hey, young master, it's been a long time"

Standing in front of Kiryu, Makimura Yahachi pushed the bamboo hat on his head and smiled slightly.

"I'm back."
