Chapter 087 Behind the Scenes
The content of the invitation is very simple, that is, to invite Masako Togo to attend a meeting. There was nothing surprising about these. What surprised Xiao Yun was that the content of the meeting was to discuss the sphere of influence of the underground forces in R country.
Whether it is the Togo family, the Ito family, the Miyazaki family, the Yamaguchi group, Tanaka Kai or other R forces on this ship, they all have their own sphere of influence. However, this sphere of influence is large and small.
The family power of the Togo family, the Ito family and the Miyazaki family is relatively small. They only have power and influence in the location of their family headquarters, and their power and influence generally control one county to two counties.
Like the Yamaguchi Group and Tanaka, except for the location of his headquarters, there are forces in most places in the first capital of R country, one, two prefectures and 43 counties. Although these forces are large and small, single or even family power is not comparable to any other place, on the whole, they are very huge. Of.
So the Miyazaki family and other families are just a small local force, and the Yamaguchi Group and Tanaka are national forces.
However, after decades of running-in, these forces have their own spheres of influence, and they do not violate the river water with each other.
Now, when Suzuki comes here, he sends out invitations to discuss the sphere of influence of the underground forces of R country, which simply does not pay attention to the previous tacit understanding of these forces. The person who put forward this proposal is simply lifeless.
However, Suzuki Yu has nothing to do. On the contrary, those forces came over obediently. There is only one reason why these forces come obediently. Those invitations have a six-pointed star pattern composed of compasses and rulers.
"The Masonic!"
Xiao Yun looked at Dongxiang Masako in surprise, and Dongxiang Masako nodded gently.
Xiao Yun has heard of the name Masonic, but he has always thought that this Masonic is just a legendary organization. But I didn't expect to see the power of this pattern here.
In fact, as long as it is a dark organization with a little history and a little table, this hexagram pattern composed of compass and ruler is generally recognized.
Although Xiao Yun has risen rapidly in China, his power has no history after all. They are all pure underworld forces, so he can be said to know nothing about Freemasonry. At the same time, he did not attract the attention of the Freemasonry.
However, the families or underworld forces here have basically a history of dozens or hundreds of years. Although they have nothing to do with Freemasonry, these families or leaders have learned about the existence of the mysterious organization of Freemasonry from the previous generation of people at the helm.
Moreover, basically, the words handed down by these people at the helm are: Don't provoke Freemasonry, which is an organization they can't afford to provoke.
Xiao Yun also wanted to ask about Freemasonry again. At this time, the old housekeeper looked at Kiyoko Ito lovingly and said, "Miss, don't blame me for just ignored you, it's really..."
Kiyoko Ito smiled and said, "Old housekeeper, don't say that..."
Xiao Yun also knew that it was not the time to talk about 'masonry' at this time. He took a deep breath, looked at the separate cabin inside, and whispered, "Old housekeeper, Miss Qingzi, let's go inside and talk about it. It's not convenient to talk here..."
The old housekeeper also reacted at this time and quickly echoed, "Yes... yes... yes, let's go inside and say... let's talk inside..."
With that, the old housekeeper first walked to the cabin. In front of the door of the cabin, the old housekeeper opened the door of the cabin with his identity card and took Xiao Yun and Kiyoko Ito to the cabin.
However, Dongxiang Masako and Dongxiang Zhizi did not follow up, but just guarded the hatch.
This is originally a bedroom, and the actual space is not large, but the overall layout and decoration give people a very spacious and bright feeling.
After Xiao Yun and Ito Kiyoko sat down, the old housekeeper took out a set of tea sets, and then poured a cup of tea for them.
Kiyoko Ito also found something wrong at this time. He looked left and right and said strangely, "Old housekeeper, Dad is not outside, why is he not inside? Dad, where is he?
Hearing Kiyoko Ito say this, the old housekeeper sighed gently and said, "Miss, Mr. Ito was taken away by Suzuki's people..."
"Brother? What did he do with his father? Kiyoko Ito asked puzzledly.
The old housekeeper shook his head and said, "I don't know what they did with their husband. However, when the gentleman saw Suzuki, he seemed to know why he came, so he hurriedly wrote a few words on the table with tea and left with the person sent by Suzuki, and those words were..."
"Let me listen to this liar in everything, right?"
The old housekeeper nodded and whispered, "Miss, don't do this to Mr. Xiao. Mr. Xiao is the most reliable person on this ship, except for Mr. Ito and me. And it is also the person who is most likely to protect you. You'd better listen to Mr. Xiao. Suzuki came this time, definitely not to help the Ito family..."
Kiyoko Ito was silent, and after a while he said worriedly, "Will Dad... be in danger?"
The old housekeeper sighed gently and said nothing. Kiyoko Ito was worried and depressed.
Although she doesn't believe that the brother who spoils her is that kind of person, all kinds of signs show that this brother's coming this time is definitely not as simple as he said.
Moreover, if this brother really came to help the Ito family, why did he take his father away?
Protect it?
It is impossible. He can now make these organizations negotiate, which proves that these powerful organizations are afraid of him. At this time, as long as he protects him, how can his father be in danger?
So...
Xiao Yun coughed softly and winced at the old housekeeper. The old housekeeper was considerate and quickly opened the lid of the teapot, and a faint fragrance of tea quickly filled it.
Tea has the effect of calming the mind. After drinking two cups of tea and smelling the fragrance of tea, Kiyoko Ito's mood gradually calmed down, and the sadness on his face also returned to its original coldness and calmness.
poured a cup of tea for Xiao Yun. After the old housekeeper drank his own cup of tea, he whispered, "Mr. Xiao, how about this tea?"
Xiao Yun smiled faintly and said, "It's really good tea. The best 'Mingqian Longjing' can't be made by anyone."
The old housekeeper smiled and gave a thumbs up to Xiao Yun: "Mr. Xiao's tea tasting level is very high. He just smells the fragrance and tasting water, and he knows that this is the best 'Mingqian Longjing'."
Xiao Yun smiled faintly and said, "The old housekeeper is overreputed. The old housekeeper should know that I am a Chinese, and it happens that I also know something about these aspects, so I can guess it."
The old housekeeper smiled, but he didn't say much and drank tea in silence.
After a while, Xiao Yun took a deep breath and said, "Old housekeeper, I really want to know why Suzuki came here this time? It's not just as simple as what is written on the invitation..."
The old housekeeper took a look at Kiyoko Ito and said, "Miss, you go out first. Can I talk to Mr. Xiao?"
Kiyoko Ito was stunned, looked at the old housekeeper, then stared at Xiao Yun with hatred, and turned around and left.
After Kiyoko Ito left, the old housekeeper took a deep breath and dared to say, "Suzuki Yu, in addition to the things on the invitation, this time I came here for the treasure map."
"Treasure map? Isn't there not? If others don't know, Suzuki should know. Among other things, the identity of a Freemasonry is enough to let him know a lot of information that others don't know. Xiao Yun said strangely.
"Alas!" The old housekeeper sighed and said, "Just because he is a Freemason and knows a lot of information that ordinary people can't know, he knows that there is really a treasure map."
"What?"
Xiao Yun suddenly stood up, quietly stared at the old housekeeper, and said for a while, "Mr. Ito even cheated me!" Since you don't believe me, Mr. Ito also gave me such an important thing as protecting Kiyoko. Isn't this too much respect for me, Xiao Yun?
The old housekeeper quickly explained, "Mr. Xiao, don't get me wrong. It's true that Mr. Ito said that there is no treasure map. And the treasure map I'm talking about is actually just a few diaries.
Diary?"
"Yes, it is a diary that has not been burned. Those diaries record some information about the treasure, and it is also marked that if anyone can unlock the secrets of those diaries, he can find the hiding place of the treasure. However, Mr. Ito has studied those diaries for many years, but he has never been able to get the hiding place of the treasure, so Mr. Ito told Mr. Xiao that there was no treasure map, not to deceive you. However, Suzuki knew about this!"
Although Xiao Yun is not very satisfied with this explanation, he also understands the difficulties of Ito Zuo Bingwei. Although he believes in Xiao Yun, after all, it is about the life of Kiyoko Ito and so many treasures. It is human nature for him to hide something.
So Xiao Yun didn't plan to care about this anymore.
"So, how did Suzuki know about these diaries? Didn't the fire burn the study in those years? Even if Suzuki knew that there was a treasure map, it was impossible for Suzuki to know about these diaries!"
"Mr. Xiao, the energy of the Freemasonry organization is not what ordinary people can imagine. This organization is said to have existed for more than 6,000 years. And in the past 6,000 years, although they are not as well-known as the three major religions in the world, they have extremely powerful power..."
"I've heard of these legends. Now I just want to know how the Freemasonry knows about these pages of diaries."
"At that time, the study was burned. After Mr. Ito knew about the treasure, he asked his most loyal ninja to spread the burning of the treasure map through secret channels. In this way, it can dispel the thoughts of those who cove for treasure maps. However, Mr. Ito never thought that the ninja was the gatekeeper of the Freemasonry.
Xiao Yun took a long breath and said, "No wonder Suzuki Xiong knows so much about it."
"Yes, Mr. Ito knew that Suzuki was the person arranged by the Freemasonry around him, so he deliberately created a conflict to drive Suzuki out of the Ito family. But I didn't expect... Alas..."
Xiao Yun couldn't help but smack his tongue. This Freemasonry really tried its best to get this treasure!
"Old housekeeper, do you know what kind of means Suzuki is going to use to get these pages of the diary?" Xiao Yun thought for a moment and asked again.
The old housekeeper shook his head: "I don't know about this. However, this time, in addition to getting this treasure map, Suzuki has another purpose, which is what is said in the invitation.
Xiao Yun frowned: "The Freemasonry also wants to intervene in the underworld?"
