1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

Everyone got what they wanted, except Hashimoto Kingoro and Okawa Shumei...

Oh, these two are not human.

So, here you go, a world where no one gets hurt, done.

023 Showing off in front of the Duke 1

3214 words

"...When you see Grandfather later, don't talk back to him like you did before!"

On the way to the Saionji residence, Saionji Gongyi repeatedly gave Fujiwara Kanezane instructions and earnest instructions, but all he got in return was a lazy yawn from the other party:

"Haaaaaaaa... I know, I know. Why are you nagging like that? I won't hit your grandfather..."

"...You really can't?"

"Don't talk like I've ever beaten your grandfather. I'm such a well-behaved person..."

"I just feel like... that's all..."

Saionji Koichi sighed, said nothing more, and led Fujiwara Kanezane home in silence.

After Chang Yong was arrested by the police, the two top aristocrats were not taken away for investigation at the same time.

The leading police officer simply asked a few polite questions and then respectfully sent them away.

Interrogating the Duke's grandson, the future Duke?

Interrogate the man who dared to assault the future Duke?

No kidding, they're not crazy yet.

Fighting with the army and navy was commonplace, but trouble with the nobles was courting death.

Passing through the gate, the courtyard, and the wing room, Saionji Koichi and Fujiwara Kanezane met the super elder who had served through the four reigns of Emperors Komei, Meiji, Taisho, and Showa:

Xiyuan Temple Gongwang.

To be honest, Fujiwara Kanezane was a little disappointed when he saw this person.

I thought he was some big, imposing figure, but it turned out he was just an ordinary-looking old man taking a walk in the neighborhood with short hair almost to the point of disappearing!

It would look more like it if he changed into a white vest and shorts.

Damn it, he's not even one ten-thousandth as handsome as me.

While Fujiwara no Kanezane was observing Saionji Kimmochi, the other party was also observing him and quickly made a judgment:

This kid is still as arrogant as before.

However, this kind of "arrogance" seems to be different from the previous one.

Also, the masked maid next to Kanezane is so tall. Where did he bring her back from?

Judging from the hair, it’s either Chinese or South American?

Why haven't I seen it before?

Before Duke Saionji could think clearly about these questions, Fujiwara no Kanezane greeted him casually and openly:

"Yo!"

This is in stark contrast to the respectful and cautious attitude of his grandson, Koichi Saionji.

"..."

Veins immediately popped up on Duke Saionji's forehead.

Every time he met Fujiwara Kanezane, he would be driven to death by this guy with just a gesture, a look or a word.

Otherwise, he would go to Fujiwara Shinichi to complain?

I just want to see this kid get humiliated!

It seems that I didn't get beaten enough last time...

I have to find another opportunity to file a complaint.

Although this kid is so similar to the stubborn self in his youth who refused to obey the emperor's orders, he still deserves a beating.

Saionji Kimmochi, who knew nothing about the power shift within the Fujiwara clan, suppressed his thoughts and said in a deep voice:

"Kaneshi, I have something to ask you."

"You're talking."

"..."

Where did this strange Osaka dialect come from?

In order to avoid being angry to death, Saionji Kimmochi deliberately ignored these details:

"Tell me, was it you who did this gangster-killing-gangster thing?"

"Um... not me."

"Not you?"

Saionji Kimmochi was puzzled.

If not him, who else could it be?

In Saionji Kimmochi's memory, although Fujiwara no Kanezane was domineering and annoying, and although he was completely unlike a traditional Japanese, he certainly would not lie, or rather, he disdained to lie.

Since he said it wasn't him, then...

At this time, Saionji Koichi interrupted and said angrily:

"Kaneji! Didn't you just say you did it all?!"

"???"

"I certainly didn't do it myself! I directed others to do it."

"..."

"..."

Are you playing word games with me here?!

Even Saionji Kimmochi, who usually had a good temper, couldn't help but get angry at this moment:

"Kane!! Minoru!!"

"Hey, hey, hey! Please don't get angry. It's not good for your health if you get angry."

Fujiwara Kanezane shook his finger:

"Since you've come to ask me questions, ask them nicely and I'll answer them nicely."

"..."

Saionji Kimmochi took a deep breath, calmed down, and asked again:

"...Tell me about the Civilian Labor Union and the Anti-Communist Corps."

"It's nothing, I just don't like them..."

Fujiwara no Kanezane said a few words casually, leaving Saionji and his grandson speechless.

So it turns out that all this trouble was caused by 200 yen?

but....

"You let the little girl from the Saga family lead a gang?"

Saga Hiro.

This little girl, whose presence was too weak, entered Saionji Kimmochi's sight for the first time in this way.

"Yeah, it feels quite fun, and she's willing to do it, so the organization has decided that she will be the queen of this underground world!"

"organize?"

"Yes, the organization. I founded the Japanese Communist Party."

"what!!!"

The voices of Kimmochi Saionji and Koichi Saionji became sharp at the same time.

One because he heard the name of his own organization, and the other because he heard the name of the political party that the government was cracking down on.

But the two soon realized that Fujiwara no Kanezane was talking complete nonsense.

How old was this guy when the Japanese Communist Party was founded?

"Hehe, just kidding... Hey!"

Faced with Fujiwara no Kanezane's malicious cuteness of raising his fist to his ear and sticking out his tongue, the grandfather and grandson Saionji clenched their fists.

If I weren't too old...

If I couldn't beat him...

"..."

In just a few minutes, Saionji Kimmochi had learned to ignore Fujiwara no Kanezane's suicidal behavior and said flatly:

"Stop this immediately and stop getting involved with gangsters..."

"Hey hey!"

Before the Duke could finish, Fujiwara Kanezane interrupted him impatiently:

"I followed you here for Brother Gong Yi's sake and answered your questions, but that doesn't mean I have to listen to you. You can cooperate with me and discuss things with me, but you can't order me around."

Before either of the Saionji grandfather and grandson could get angry, Fujiwara no Kanezane waved his hand again, asking the agent to step forward:

"Ma...ahem, my agent, come here."

Wow, that look just now was a bit scary...

It seems that the name Ma Dongmei can no longer be used.

What will you call it then?

You can't ask Mara to pull a coin, right?

Forget it, let’s talk about it later.

"Owner."

"Just like last time at home, show your force and make them shut up. I'm too lazy to engage in intrigue."

"Yes, Master, what is the goal?"

"At once..."

Fujiwara Kanezane looked around and pointed at a knife hanging on the wall:

"Just use that thing! It doesn't look worth much anyway."

"Ok."

Wait! That's the chrysanthemum gifted to me by Emperor Meiji...

Before Kimmochi Saionji could remember to stop him, the agent had already reached out and took the sword, drew it out, threw away the scabbard, grasped the handle with his left hand, and placed it horizontally on his chest.

Then, something happened that shocked the Saionji grandfather and grandson.

The maid, who looked rather weak, stretched out her right hand, pinched the tip of the knife with her index finger and thumb in a black glove, and "gently" bent it.

With a "crackling" sound, the blade of this famous sword bestowed by the Emperor was broken into a small section like a cracker;

Then, the maid moved her fingers a little to the left, and gently broke the second thicker section of the blade off and threw it on the ground.

During this process, her left and right sides of the body remained motionless, and her expression did not change at all, which shows how easy it was for her to do this.

As the grandfather and grandson, Kimimoto Saionji, stared in amazement, the sword was soon reduced to an almost bare hilt.
