Chapter 871 0859 [The Tragic Journey of a Tyrant]

"I'm sorry, Du! I know this Jiugui Temple is very difficult to deal with, but unfortunately I can't help." Kurosawa Ryohei apologized, "If possible, please allow me to host and invite you to a simple meal! Give me a chance, thank you very much! Ariado!"

After that, Kurosawa bowed 90 degrees to Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao laughed dumbly. It was not Kurosawa's fault for this matter. This guy insisted on taking the responsibility on himself. It seemed that he would be uncomfortable if he didn't agree to let him treat him.

"Thank you, Mr. Kurosawa! Thank you for your kindness. In this case, I won't refuse!"

Kurosawa was happy and said to the others: "Don't worry. I will take you to a very beautiful place with delicious food! Yes, you will definitely be satisfied and like it!"

Kurosawa's promise made Du Yongxiao curious. He had no interest in Japanese food except sushi.

However, seeing Kurosawa's enthusiasm, Du Yongxiao could only smile: "Thank you, I'm looking forward to it!"

"Then let's go! I'll take you to the most beautiful place in Yokohama Night Market - Qingchuan!"

The car drove slowly on the road. As night fell, the car window was opened and the breeze blew, making people intoxicated.

Soon they arrived at the place of food that Kurosawa mentioned - Qingchuan.

A closer look revealed that it was a large night market area, with bright lights around, showing prosperity; the full moon above was quiet, forming a two-level contrast.

Kurosawa turned a few corners and finally stopped at a small izakaya. The cloth sign outside the izakaya read "Meijin", and two small lanterns were hung on both sides of the door of the izakaya, emitting a faint red light.

"Mr. Du, we have arrived, please get off." Kurosawa Ryohei said to Du Yongxiao, got off the car first, and ran to Du Yongxiao's side to help him open the car door.

Du Yongxiao laughed in silence. Was this Kurosawa bragging? He thought it was a place of delicious food, so he actually went to such a night market stall and found such a small izakaya to entertain him?

However, Du Yongxiao did not show any expression on his face. He nodded slightly to Kurosawa Ryohei and said thank you. Then he led Sakuragi Rin and others into the izakaya under Kurosawa's guidance.

After lifting the iconic door curtain of the izakaya, a space of only 40 to 50 square meters came into view. Two long tables were placed on the left and right sides. Some men and women who looked like tourists were sitting at the long tables. When they saw Kurosawa and others come in, they just glanced at them from the side, and then continued to chat and enjoy the food.

Just as Du Yongxiao was looking around, a middle-aged man in a chef's robe and a square hat ran out of the kitchen, rubbing his hands and smiling, "Ha, I thought it was some distinguished guest, but it turned out to be Mr. Kurosawa! Long time no see, my friends and I miss you very much!"

"Hahaha, Mr. Kameda, I miss you too, especially the delicious food you make! Come, let me introduce you, this person next to me is a friend who came all the way from Hong Kong, and he came to taste your cooking tonight!" Kurosawa pointed at Du Yongxiao and introduced Kameda.

Kameda immediately bowed to Du Yongxiao: "Hello, I am Ichiro Kameda, the boss here, please give me your advice!"

Du Yongxiao smiled at Kameda, "Excuse me! I'll taste your cooking later!" After that, he pointed at Kurosawa and said, "He praised you highly and praised your cooking skills as first-class!" Thumbs up.

"Hahaha, you are too kind!" Kameda was very modest and bowed to Du Yongxiao again, "I will do my best to present my lifelong skills to the distinguished Hong Kong guests!"

"Thank you!" Du Yongxiao nodded to express his gratitude.

Kurosawa told Kameda a few words and asked him to prepare. He turned around and led Du Yongxiao and others to a seat and said, "Mr. Du, please wait a moment. I will go to prepare the drinks first. Before tasting the food, you must drink, especially the fine wine here, which is all brewed by Kameda. You can't drink it in other places!"

As he spoke, Heihei greeted and walked towards the kitchen. It seemed that he was really familiar with this place.

Du Yongxiao and others sat down and discussed today's negotiation matters in a low voice.

In a moment——

The curtain of the small door of the izakaya was also opened, and Kameda, wearing a linen chef's uniform, walked out with a smile. This time, he held two exquisite plates in his hands, and Kurosawa Ryohei followed behind him with a porcelain bottle of wine in his hand.

Du Yongxiao stood up politely and greeted the other party.

Kameda placed two plates on the long table in front of Du Yongxiao, then sat casually beside Du Yongxiao and said, "This is a little appetizer, please enjoy it, Mr. Du!"

Sakuragi Rin translated Kameda's words, and Du Yongxiao smiled.

The two plates on the table were boat-shaped. Two thin plates of fish were neatly stacked in brightly colored lemons, basil leaves and orchids, forming a boat awning. When paired with the boat-shaped plates, they looked like two small fishing boats. There was also prepared wasabi paste, soy sauce, grated radish and fried wine next to them.

Kurosawa also brought the wine and said, "Here, this is the fine wine brewed by the Kameda family, Crane Shochu! It is said that if you drink too much of this wine, you can turn into a crane and fly to become an immortal."

Kameta hurriedly said modestly, "Those are just some guests' praises. In fact, this kind of shochu has a slightly higher alcohol content, and many people don't like it!" After that, he pointed to the plate and said, "But I'm pretty good at cooking fish, especially puffer fish sashimi. Mr. Du, please try it!"

Du Yongxiao looked at the plate. The puffer fish meat was crystal clear and thinly sliced, emitting an attractive glow under the light.

Du Yongxiao also ate a lot of delicious food when he was in Hong Kong. The most famous ones were the "black dog meat" in Kowloon Walled City and the "snake king soup" in Wan Chai. As for puffer fish meat, it is rare in Hong Kong.

However, Du Yongxiao has read the classics, which recorded the story of Su Dongpo, a great scholar in the Song Dynasty, eating puffer fish meat.

Puffer fish is poisonous. If it is not handled properly, it may be life-threatening. When Su Dongpo was working in Changzhou, a friend who was good at cooking invited him to eat puffer fish. When the puffer fish was cooked, the friend's wife and children hid behind the screen and peeked. Seeing that Su Dongpo was speechless for a long time, they were very disappointed. Then, Su Dongpo suddenly put down his chopsticks and exclaimed: "Delicious, really delicious, worth dying for!"

Even because of puffer fish meat, Su Daxueshi left a popular poem: "The ground is full of mugwort and the reed buds are short, it is the time when the puffer fish is about to come up."

Seeing Du Yongxiao staring at the puffer fish meat, Kameda said proudly: "This kind of meat must be processed well, otherwise it will be mixed with toxins, but you can rest assured when you come to me, just enjoy it!"

Du Yongxiao waited for Kameda to finish speaking, picked up the chopsticks with an unchanged expression, picked up a piece of puffer fish meat, smeared soy sauce on one side, dipped it in wasabi paste, and then put it in his mouth. He used his tongue to feel the spicy mixture of fish meat, soy sauce and wasabi paste for a while, then swallowed it with a sigh, gave Kameda a thumbs up, and said in Japanese: "Ichiban!"

Kameda laughed, his face full of a sense of accomplishment. For a chef, the greatest honor is the praise of the guests, especially for someone like Du Yongxiao who came all the way from Hong Kong, this kind of praise makes Kameda even more happy.

Just as everyone was enjoying delicious puffer fish meat and drinking fine wine, there was a sudden noise outside.

"Baga! You damn Chinese, don't think I will let you go just because you cheated me! You said you would help me with real estate, but in the end you just want to cheat me out of my money!"

"I didn't! I really didn't! We are both from Hong Kong, and we are both very professional! By the way, he is a barrister, very famous in Hong Kong, and I am a real estate tycoon!"

A familiar voice sounded in Du Yongxiao's ears.

Datou Wen and others also heard it clearly and frowned.

Zhuang Dingxian asked, "It's not such a coincidence, is it?"

Datouwen: "It's hard to say!"

"I hope Brother Xiao won't help them!"

"Brother Xiao is very loyal!"

The two were still talking in a low voice, and a roar came from outside: "Assholes, what big lawyer, what real estate tycoon! You are clearly two scammers from Hong Kong! If you don't spit out my money, I will kill you!"

"Really don't blame me, the money was given to the leaders of the Urban Construction Bureau, who knew they were scammers!"

"Yes, we are also victims! We were also deceived by them!"

"I don't care about these! Now you have a choice, whether to take money or life!"

"Please, let us go, we really have no money!"

"Baga! Kill them!"

There was a roar outside, and they started to smash and destroy.

Du Yongxiao couldn't help looking outside.

Hei Ze found that his expression was wrong, "Do you know them?"

Du Yongxiao nodded, "It sounds like two old friends."

"Then go out and take a look?"

Du Yongxiao did not refuse, stood up and walked out.

Outside——

"Baga! Beat them to death! Damn bastards! Hong Kong swindlers who deserve to go to hell!" A bald man pointed at the two people on the ground angrily.

Four burly men were punching and kicking the two people on the ground.

The two people curled up and had no power to resist.

People around pointed and laughed at the joke.

"Please, Mr. Tojo, stop hitting me! Woohoo, I'll die if you hit me again!" The man who spoke showed his head, with a swollen face.

Du Yongxiao recognized the other person at a glance--Liu Jianxiong.

"Yes, please spare us! We will find a way to return the money to you!" Another person also looked up and said.

Du Yongxiao recognized again, who else could it be except the barrister Bai Yingjun?

Du Yongxiao never dreamed that these two Hengchuang traitors would come to Japan and meet here.

Liu Jianxiong and Bai Yingjun were in pain all over their bodies, with swollen faces and noses, and they almost didn't have the strength to speak.

Originally, they came to Japan to start from scratch, start a business with hard work, and make another achievement in real estate.

Liu Jianxiong is a smart man. When he was the general manager of Hengchuang, he was very interested in Tokyo real estate and felt that there was a lot of potential here.

Therefore, after Du Yongxiao expelled them from Hengchuang, the two were penniless and had to travel across the ocean to Japan, intending to start from scratch and become Tokyo real estate tycoons with their own abilities.

Unfortunately, they overestimated themselves and underestimated the cunning of Tokyo real estate.

At the beginning, the two were full of vigor and vitality. Liu Jianxiong relied on his eloquence to find this community leader named Tojo as an investor and promised him that he would take a piece of land in Shinjuku for investment and develop it into a department store.

Tojo didn't believe it at first, so Liu Jianxiong showed that he was the general manager of Hengchuang Real Estate and told him that he was responsible for the development and operation of Hong Kong Times Square.

Then, Liu Jianxiong asked Bai Yingjun to take out the legal contract and told him that everything was perfect. You only need to invest, and leave the rest to them. If things don't work, the money will be returned in full.

This Tojo was the leader of a small gang called "Early Rice Society" in Yokohama. He was obsessed with making money, so how could he let go of the opportunity? He immediately clapped his hands and cooperated with Liu Jianxiong.

At this time, Liu Jianxiong was full of vigor and thought that his future was not a dream. He could make a comeback and even surpass Du Yongxiao to become a real estate tycoon in Tokyo.

Liu Jianxiong even fantasized that when he became rich, he would go back to Hong Kong, find Du Yongxiao and show off in front of him, pointing at Du Yongxiao's nose and telling him that he could still succeed without you!

Unfortunately, Liu Jianxiong thought very beautifully, but the reality was very cruel.

Especially here, they were unfamiliar with the place, unlike in Hong Kong where no one dared to give Du Yongxiao face, so that they could get twice the result with half the effort.

In order to obtain the land development rights, Liu Jianxiong and Bai Yingjun got 30 million yen from Tojo to bribe the senior staff of the Urban Construction Bureau. Unexpectedly, they were big liars. They thought they were Chinese and had no roots here. After taking the money, they did not do anything for them.

Now the money has been spent, the land has not been approved, and the whole project has died in the womb.

Tojo invested so much money, it can be said that it was all wasted.

Tojo, who originally wanted to get rich, never dreamed that he would be cheated by Liu Jianxiong and Bai Yingjun, so he sent people to find them and wanted to sink them into the sea to feed sharks.

When Liu Jianxiong and Bai Jun heard the news, they ran away immediately, but unfortunately they were unfamiliar with the place. As soon as they ran here, the news leaked and they were caught by Tojo and his men.

"Woo, really don't fight! If you fight again, people will die!" Liu Jianxiong's tears and snot were running. He never dreamed that one day he would die in a foreign country.

"Yes, I am a disabled person. If you keep fighting like this, I will really die!" Bai Jun also begged for mercy.

"Baga! I don't care about these. Anyway, if there is no money, I will kill you!"

"No!"

"Please!"

Liu Jianxiong and Bai Jun were almost scared to death.

Seeing Tojo's men showing baseball bats and preparing to use baseball bats to deal with them, the two were scared to pee.

"Kill them!" Tojo ordered, "Kill them, I'll take responsibility!"

Tojo was filled with evil. For him, killing two Chinese was nothing. At most, he could find someone to take the blame and go to jail for a few days.

"Ha ha ha!" The four Zaodao men waved baseball bats and grinned at Liu Jianxiong and Bai Yingjun.

Liu Jianxiong and Bai Yingjun moved their buttocks and kept retreating on the ground, their eyes terrified, as if they saw the god of death calling them.

Just then——

"Let them go! I'll take their debt!" a loud voice said.

"Huh?" Tojo and others were stunned and turned their heads to look.

Liu Jianxiong and Bai Jun were also stunned and looked at the man.

"Du, Mr. Du?" The two were horrified.

Du Yongxiao smiled at them: "How are you two?"
