v2 Chapter 309： Secrets of French merchants (2/2)
This man was a sword in the dark of Satsuma leader Nishigo, who was willing to abandon the honor of the samurai in order to fall the curtain and become a killer who specifically assassinated the minions of the shogunate. Numerous shogunate officials who died in his hands favored Takasugi The news of his coming to Kyoto at the demise of his death was irritating.
Is this the Satsuma clan intended to take advantage of the death of his ally Takasugi?
There was a surging current in the city of Kyoto for a while, and the wavers of the newly selected group and the Jianhui group inspected the street with a knife every day. However, Nakamura Hanjiro had not yet been found out, and the people around them had been harassed by them first. It is unspeakable that the emperor and the public are not too big to watch the lively seeds in the imperial city, while the shogunate faction is all at risk.
Zhang Heng is also paying attention to the development of the situation. He rarely got an exact whereabouts of the five knives in the world. Of course, he would like to take this opportunity to put Shuzhu Maru into the bag, but he must find it before he can choose a new team. Nakamura Hanjiro, and this is not easy, there are a lot of forces in Kyoto, and no one knows where Nakamura Hanjiro is hiding.
The French businessman on the other side, because of the hard performance during this period, has made the tails less and less. After the news that Nakamura Langji entered Beijing, no one finally stared at him.
So Gabriel found Zhang Heng that afternoon and asked mysteriously, ”Are you going to work tomorrow night?”
”Huh?” Zhang Heng raised an eyebrow.
”There will be a very important banquet tomorrow night for you to be a translator ~~ Rest assured, I can pay you ten small sentences at a time if you are done.” The French businessman added.
The translator's job is indeed not generally easy and comfortable so far, and it is not proportional to the generous remuneration, but Zhang Heng knows that this situation will not last. Now the drama is finally brought up. He believes that as long as he Promised Gabriel, tomorrow night will know what French businessmen have been doing.
However, the money this time is not so profitable.
No matter what the other party intends to do, it is obviously undeniable. Zhang Heng is not naive enough to think that Gabriel will really believe in the confidentiality of this stranger, so the other party has any intention after ”using” him. It's not hard to guess.
Zhang Heng now needs to make a decision whether to take this risk. If it is purely for the reward of the ten small judges, he will turn away now. Anyway, he has made a lot of money during this time, and Xiaoshan Qian has always said that he would give He waived the rent, but he refused, and he could continue to make translations for other businessmen to make money, but only a little less.
But what really interested Zhang Heng was the group of people Gabriel wanted to contact.
Now he knows that it was the shogunate who followed the French merchants behind him, so this means that Gabriel is likely to have contact with the downfall forces, and Zhang Heng now just wants to find Shujumaru Hiroji, and Nakamura's whereabouts To fall on the group of downfall forces.
Therefore, it ’s difficult for Zhang Heng to refuse the banquet tour tomorrow night. This is the only clue he has at this stage, and he is also confident in his sword technique. On request, the latter seemed relieved after hearing the words.
”Excellent, we'll see you in the same place tomorrow night.”
