Chapter 133 Murder and arson gold belt!
“President Honda Masaru, did you have an argument with the Kamakura family’s steward Hyori Hayashita in Saikaku Town a few days ago!”
Minister Qingyan asked with a stern face.
Awesome!
His status as a noble and a minister gave him the air of a superior, enough to make ordinary people bow down to him.
It's not easy to lie in front of such a superior.
Although Honda Masaru is knowledgeable and experienced, the biggest person he has met in the past is only at the level of Hyori's housekeeper. It is impossible for him to face such a big person directly, so he is extremely nervous.
"No...No, Your Excellency, I have no right to argue with Lady Hyo-ri!"
He was right.
In the ninja world, businessmen are nothing more than puppets supported by major forces. They have no status at all, so how dare they argue with others?
"Yeah!"
"Then do you know that after you left, the Kamakura family that the other party served was slaughtered!"
"Tell me, did you collude with the ninja to do this because you held a grudge against him?"
Minister Qingyan's tone suddenly became more serious, trying to break Honda Katsu's defense.
The deep-rooted fear of high-ranking figures made Honda Katsu break out in a cold sweat. If Dohei had not been right next to him, he might not even be able to stand steadily.
(In the ninja world, human life is not taken seriously, and high-ranking officials can decide life and death at will. It is normal for ordinary people to be frightened!)
However, Lingtang Ping was unhappy with Minister Qingyan's actions, so he interrupted him directly.
"Minister Qingyan, are you trying to frame me?"
Do you really think you don't exist?
Deliberately placing the inquiry location here actually shows one's attitude, but the other party still plays it this way, clearly showing that they are not giving face.
Since he doesn't give face, he won't be polite either.
"Don't misunderstand, Lord Tang Ping. This is just my duty!"
Minister Qingyan hurried to explain.
Being sent here to investigate this matter shows that he is not a useless person. Naturally, he could sense the dissatisfaction in Tang Ping's words.
It's not like he didn't suspect the other party, but as a Kage-level expert, it's not easy to investigate him.
To put it bluntly, even if it is really the other party, you have to find a way to deny it.
After all, if a Kage-level warrior killed a noble, things would become a big deal.
This is also the reason why he turned a blind eye to it and instead asked Honda Katsu even though he knew that Hyo-ri was killed by the other party.
"That's the best!"
Tang Ping nodded with satisfaction.
With his attitude.
Next, Minister Qingyan's tone not only slowed down but also became much softer, allowing Honda Katsu to deal with it easily.
And he actually had no problem with it.
After the questioning, Minister Qingyan said goodbye and left. He was not as clueless as imagined.
But this is also because of Tang Ping's strength. If it were someone else, he would not be so easy to talk to.
The final result of the investigation was that it was definitely done by the "Wild Ninja".
The Sand Ninjas didn't want to take the blame, so they naturally had to pass it on to others. Who better to pass it on to than the wild ninjas?
"Okay, you can start preparing to send the things to the Starting Point Orphanage!"
Dohei signaled Honda Katsu to leave and prepare.
After the others left, he asked Narada:
"Have those Sand Ninja captives been settled?"
In the previous battle of Mount Kikyo, when the Sand Ninja retreated, they could not take away the injured or unconscious ones, so they were captured by them.
The number is about a hundred people.
"Everything has been settled," Narada replied quickly while adding, "We received a letter from the village asking us to escort the prisoners to Konoha Prison!"
The letter was delivered before, but for this kind of thing, he naturally didn't dare to make a decision without the nod of Tang Ping, the commander-in-chief, so it was delayed until now.
"Those old guys are trying to meddle again!"
Tang Ping snorted disdainfully.
After showing Sage Mode, he didn't even pretend anymore and privately addressed himself as 'old guy'.
He didn't want to be like other time travelers, who would always call the other person "Sir" no matter how unhappy they were with him.
The corner of Narada's mouth twitched, he didn't dare to respond.
The other party dared to call him that, but he didn't.
"Okay, just write back and tell them I disagree!"
Dohei naturally understood the Nara clan's style of doing things and took the responsibility directly.
The ten bottles of nutrient solution owed to me have not been delivered yet, so I have to put some pressure on them.
Although the prisoners would eventually be sent back to the village prison for detention, as the commander, it was normal for him to detain them for a period of time.
At other times, the village would not have been so concerned about these prisoners.
But now that they had just experienced a defeat, the Sand Ninjas had captured many Konoha ninjas, all of whom were from the Hokage-affiliated ninja clan, so naturally they had to be rescued as soon as possible.
Thus, the value of these Sand Ninja captives was revealed. Exchange the captives!
But it's a very normal thing between ninja villages.
Anyway, Dou Ping has no friendship with those ninja clans, so it doesn't matter if he is blocked for a while.
As long as Utane Koharu doesn't deliver his reward, he will not hand over these Sand Ninja captives. It depends on who can keep his composure longer.
"Yes!"
Narada knew that Douhei was going against the village, but he answered without hesitation.
After all, he is now the deputy of the Southwestern Ninja Army, and his superior is Dou Ping. If any action is detrimental to the village, he can still stand up and oppose it. Naturally, he knows what to do about such a small matter.
What Dohei was most satisfied with about the Nara clan was that they were all smart people who knew how to make the best choice.
After giving the instructions, he left the commander's office and went to the resting place.
Hinata Cangyue was guarding here, and there were a few small boxes on the desk beside him.
"Do you want me to take these Jinpan away right away?"
She looked at Tang Ping who came in and asked.
Jin Pan!
Also known as 'Dapankin', it is a currency made of gold.
Real hard currency.
The currencies of different countries in the ninja world are not the same.
But only these golden judgments are applicable to all countries.
When Hinata Cangyue dealt with the Kamakura family before, he also "visited" their warehouse.
I can only say that the other party is indeed an expert at plundering.
It’s amazing that I can get so much gold.
It’s just that the other party’s efforts benefited them, and now they have all become spoils of war.
The golden belt of murder and arson!
Just a wave of fat.
The official exchange rate of the Fire Nation for each gold coin is 100,000 taels of currency, but no one will exchange it.
Because it is easy to exchange Jinpan for currency, but it is extremely difficult to exchange the currency of the Fire Country for Jinpan.
Each box of gold coins contains one thousand.
This thing naturally cannot be left in Platycodon Mountain, because it will expose that they were the ones who did the previous things.
It is impossible for ordinary ninjas to get so much gold pan. Once it is discovered that they have it, it is equivalent to openly admitting that they did it.
"Well, I'll take it back with the Chamber of Commerce convoy this time. I'll also go meet Honglian!"
Tang Ping nodded.
He planned to go to the "Starting Point Orphanage" with Hinata Cangyue.
I have a lot of stuff to bring this time.
There are not only medicinal herbs, but also orphans, supplies, etc. collected through Konoha channels during this period.
As for Platycodon Mountain?
Don’t worry either.
If the Sand Ninja army really attacks, he will be able to get back in time and there is no need to worry about missing anything.
As the commander-in-chief, he shouldn't leave.
But he has another identity.
Potion developer!
As long as he could ensure that nothing happened to the Southwestern Ninja Army, he could do some experiments in his own laboratory. The village leaders would not be able to blame him for this.
Just like Orochimaru, as the commander-in-chief of the ninja army, he also did a lot of private things.
For a Kage-level ninja, the village’s restraint cannot be as strong as that for an ordinary ninja.
As for the exposure of Qidian Orphanage? .
Tang Ping never thought of hiding it, otherwise he wouldn't have said it directly before.
Half a day later!
The convoy set off for the River Kingdom.
There were dozens of carriages filled with goods, and there were also dozens of young boys and girls.
There was only a small team of ninjas escorting them.
Team 404!
In addition, there is a messenger ninja who trains a ninja hawk.
With him around, Dohei would not lose control of the Southwestern Ninja Army.
Kikyo Mountain is not too far from the starting point orphanage.
It took just over a week to arrive.
If it's a Jonin, he might be able to get there in less than a day.
If you fly from the air, it will only take a few hours.
All I can say is that the speed of a ninja is completely different from that of an ordinary person.
