Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 755

Therefore, they were full of anticipation for this new courtesan and wanted to see how beautiful she was as soon as possible.

Compared to these guards, Hosokawa Sawato's confidant was actually quite looking forward to it, but he knew that now was not the time to look at women.

Anyway, the process in the courtesan's way is complicated, and the distance is quite far, so it will take some time for the courtesan to come over.

Finish the important things first, there will be plenty of time later, maybe your suggestion will be rewarded and you can choose the most beautiful girl.

Thinking of this, my heart and mind were filled with excitement. He looked so excited that it felt like he was about to have an orgasm.

"Sir, let's wait for the courtesan to enter his private room, then you can go over there and see who this guy is who is opposing you."

"If it's someone you know well, then it's up to you to decide how to handle it. But if it's not someone you know..."

This confidant was indeed a good talker, and his words seemed to mean that he wanted Hosokawa Sawato to distinguish between friends and foes.

But in fact, he wanted Hosokawa Sawato to confirm the other party's identity and whether he was someone he could afford to offend.

Although Hosokawa Sawato was the shogunate's Kanrei, to put it bluntly, he was actually just a senior manager with real but limited power.

If the shogunate is compared to a super company, then Hosokawa Sawato's position is similar to that of a CEO.

The one who truly controls this big company is the board of directors, and Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is the chairman with the largest equity.

In today's Japan, the relationship between the emperor and the shogun is somewhat similar to the relationship between Kangxi and Oboi in the Qing Dynasty.

The shogunate had absolute power in Japan, but there were still other forces in Heian-kyo that were at odds with the shogunate.

The great shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu might not care, but the senior manager Hosokawa Sawato might not be able to afford to offend him.

However, as Hosokawa Sawato's confidant, he certainly could not say anything that would damage his master's reputation. After all, if the master is humiliated, the minister will die.

Even the truth has to be said tactfully, so distinguishing between friends and enemies is the most appropriate reason.

Of course, Hosokawa Sawato knew what his confidant meant, which is why he regarded this person as his confidant.

While feeling satisfied, Hosokawa Sawato was also curious about what his confidant had come up with, so he asked:

"What if it's not a friend I know well?"

The meaning of what Hosokawa Sawato said can be translated as: What should I do if it is someone I can suppress?

So the confidant immediately understood after hearing it, and then quickly said:

"Sir, everyone who comes here is here to have fun. If he makes you unhappy, then he can't have fun here either."

"As long as you show up and clearly express your anger, you must let the Oiran see your majesty."

"Once the Oiran knows that the guy offended you, she'll probably be so scared that she'll quickly find an excuse to leave early."

That's it?

Just to make the Oiran stop accompanying that guy out of fear?

When he heard the advice from his confidant, Hosokawa Sawato immediately frowned, and his dissatisfaction was written all over his face.

But just as Hosokawa Sawato was about to open his mouth to rebuke him, he heard this confidant say:

"Sir, please don't be angry. My idea is to make sure that guy gets nothing and wastes three thousand taels of silver."

"According to the rules of selecting the oiran, that guy has to come back tomorrow to show his sincerity, and the price cannot be lower than today's."

"That way the courtesan will see him a second time. But if she knows he's offended you, she won't choose him again tomorrow."

After hearing this, the expression on Hosokawa Sawato's face eased a little, but he still felt not very satisfied.

The confidant knew what he was thinking as soon as he saw his expression, so he changed the subject and continued:

"Of course, I came up with this idea just in case you find it too much trouble. It doesn't require any manpower or material resources, and can be accomplished with just your majesty."

"If you don't feel satisfied enough, then just capture him, chop off his hands and feet, and then break them severely..."

Before the confidant could finish his words, Hosokawa Sawato interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and then said with a look of dissatisfaction:

"No, this shop belongs to Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. We must not cause trouble here, otherwise it will cause dissatisfaction to the Shogun."

"Also, if I want to do it, do I need you to teach me? Can't you come up with some better ideas, you idiot?"

Seeing that Hosokawa Sawato's tone was not very good, this confidant became a little anxious, lowered his head and thought quickly.

As a result, he came up with a solution in a hurry, so he quickly said:

"Sir, if that's the case, then let them cause trouble here, and then you can bring people to arrest them."

"Not only can we arrest people legitimately, but we can also help General Ashikaga Yoshimitsu solve a small problem, right?"

Hearing his confidant's words, Hosokawa Sawato nodded slightly, and then asked:

"That guy isn't a fool. Why would he cause trouble for no reason? Do you want me to find someone to deliberately provoke him?"

Seeing that Hosokawa Sawato had misunderstood his meaning, this confidant quickly shook his hands and explained:

"No, no, no, sir, you can't do that. If the news gets out, General Ashikaga Yoshimitsu will definitely be dissatisfied with you."

"Sir, I mean to drug them so that no one will know about it and it has nothing to do with you."

"This is a medicine I got from a homeless old man. If you accidentally take it, you will become mentally ill and hurt people at random."

While speaking, the confidant reached into his arms and took out a small porcelain bottle with some heartache.

He only had two copies of this thing, and he used one of them on his friend because of a fight for interests.

Now that this is all that’s left, I can’t help but feel a little reluctant to part with it, but as long as it can please the master, it can be considered a worthwhile use.

Looking at the small porcelain bottle in his confidant's hand, Hosokawa Sawato's eyes lit up. He reached out and patted his shoulder and said:

"Very good, I'll do as you say, but don't ask anyone else to drug me. I only trust you, so I'll leave it to you!"

"As long as you get this done for me, I'll give you money, women, whatever you want..."

Just as he was halfway through his words, Hosokawa Sawato suddenly thought of something, and then patted his confidant's shoulder and asked:

"Do you still have this medicine? The other guy who was against me also drugged me. How dare you offend me? Humph!"

Hearing what Hosokawa Sawato said, an embarrassment appeared on his confidant's face.

"Sir, I only have this portion of this medicine. Although it's powder, using it separately may affect its efficacy, so..."

"Is that so? Then give it to the guy who won the title of Oiran. I'll go see if he's someone I know."

Without any hesitation, Hosokawa Sawato immediately set his sights on Wei Wu.
