Chapter 280 Guanqi County
280
At this moment, a drunken man walked into the tavern. He staggered to the bar and shouted, "Another pot of wine!"
The tavern owner reluctantly poured him another pot. The man took the wine, tilted his head back, took a long gulp, and then began to complain softly, "This life is getting more and more frustrating. I have to be so careful every day, afraid of saying or doing the wrong thing..."
Tang Yue's eyes lit up. Just when she was feeling sleepy, someone offered her a pillow. She stood up, walked over to the big man, and said with a smile, "Big brother, you look so depressed. Are you having troubles? Why not tell me? Having someone who listens can always help ease some worries, right?"
The big man glanced at Tang Yue and was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect someone to take the initiative to talk to him. Then he took another sip of wine and said vaguely:
"You're a foreigner, you won't understand even if I tell you..."
Afterwards, he seemed a little unwilling to give up, and continued to mutter in a low voice, "This Guanqi County may appear calm on the surface, but in reality, there are undercurrents. There are some forces that ordinary people like us cannot afford to offend..."
Tang Yue's heart moved slightly, and she continued to ask: "Brother? Power? What power are you talking about? Is there any bully here?" Tang Yue pretended to be scared as he spoke.
The big man waved his hands quickly, fear revealed in his eyes: "Little girl, don't talk nonsense. If they hear this, we will all be in trouble..." After that, the big man no longer paid attention to Tang Yue and drank by himself.
Tang Yue realized that asking further would not yield any results, so she returned to her seat.
She pondered the man's words. It seemed the Heike clan's influence here was indeed deeply entrenched, already instilling fear in the hearts of the locals. This, however, only strengthened her resolve to wipe out the Heike clan once and for all.
After leaving the tavern, Tang Yue wandered around the county again. She discovered that if someone casually mentioned the Ping family, although everyone avoided talking about the Ping family, some clues could still be found in some subtle details.
For example, although some houses look dilapidated, they are secretly guarded by people with extraordinary skills; on some streets, at certain times, some mysterious people come and go, and their behavior is very suspicious.
Tang Yue stopped asking around and went straight to a hotel to stay in. However, the hotel's inspections were too strict. Tang Yue felt that they were even stricter than the big hotels in Duanqi.
Moreover, the waiter's attitude was like interrogating a criminal. Tang Yue knew that this county town was indeed completely different from other places. Tang Yue didn't want to waste too much time here. She never forgot her true purpose: to go to the Jiushan family.
This is just information she accidentally learned. If she encounters these things that pose a threat to China, she will naturally resolve them.
The waiter stared at Tang Yue suspiciously, "Your name is Miyazaki Toku? From Sanyue Town?"
Tang Yue's face was calm, but her eyes were full of doubts. "Yes, big sister, is there any problem?"
The waiter didn't say anything else. The little girl in front of him was too young to know how special the surname Miyazaki was in their Guanqi County. The waiter's attitude was a little better. "What's your father's name?"
"Miyazaki Teppei."
"Then why didn't he come with you?"
Tang Yue sensed the change in the waiter's attitude. She lowered her head in a sad tone, "He won't come."
Tang Yue's appearance piqued the waiter's curiosity, "What's wrong? Why can't he come?"
Tang Yue suddenly realized that acting was quite enjoyable. "My parents left home a few days ago and disappeared. I couldn't find them, so I came here."
waiter......
It seems she's uncovered some big secret? Someone from the Miyazaki family is missing? This is too...big.
The waiter didn't ask any more questions and directly opened the best room for Tang Yue. "Ms. Miyazaki, please stay here first. If you need anything, just come to me directly."
Tang Yue......
Suddenly, she went from a little girl to Miss Miyazaki? It seems that the surname Miyazaki is indeed not simple in this county.
In a house that combines Japanese and Western architectural features in the center of Guanqi County, there is a Western-style balcony on one side. There are several rattan chairs and a small coffee table on the balcony, as if it is a place for the owner to enjoy the sunshine and scenery.
The courtyard has both the exquisiteness of a Japanese courtyard and the spaciousness of a Western garden, with various flowers and trees planted together in an orderly manner.
"Father, you're looking for me?"
Miyazaki Rin sat on a rattan chair, a cane casually placed beside him. "Well, Boss, Teppei hasn't contacted his family in three years, right? Have you sent anyone to check on him?"
A hint of displeasure flashed across Miyazaki Takuya's eyes, but he quickly concealed it. "Father, it was his own choice to leave the family. Since he doesn't want to come back, let him face more challenges out there."
He's not a child anymore, he should learn to be sensible."
Miyazaki Rin's face remained expressionless. "Boss, do you understand your son?"
Miyazaki Takuya felt a little unhappy. He had so many things to do every day, how could he have the time to take care of his sons every day? Besides, the fourth child was not the child of his favorite woman, so he really didn't care about him much.
"Father, I don't understand what you mean?"
Miyazaki Rin finally looked up at Miyazaki Takuya and said, "Do you have any resentment towards him? You have always ignored him, but you didn't know that without your knowledge, he has grown into a man who can stand on his own."
Miyazaki Takuya looked up at his old father in disbelief. What was his father saying? That young man, besides talking back to him and complaining about him not giving his mother a proper position, when had he ever done anything serious?
Miyazaki Rin sighed, "Boss, you've never paid attention to him in all these years. No matter where he goes, you don't care. But if the Heike family wants to regain its glory, he can't do without his participation."
Miyazaki Takuya sneered in his heart at this moment. His father was really a joke. What could he do with that disobedient boy?
At this time, a servant came forward and said, "Elder, someone from the hotel just came to report that a young lady who claimed to be Miyazaki Tokuo has checked into the hotel."
Such a small matter would not have been noticed by the two of them, and Miyazaki Rin really didn't want to bother with such a small matter at the moment. The surname Miyazaki was special in Guanqi County, and it was understandable that they came to report it, but it was not important enough for him to pay attention to it.
After all, there are many people with the surname Miyazaki in Japan.
The servant seemed to have anticipated this outcome. He continued, "It's said over there, this young lady said her father's name is Teppei Miyazaki."
"What? Who are you talking about?" Miyazaki Takuya inevitably got a little excited. What the hell? Just mentioned that troublesome guy, and he gave them a child?
Miyazaki Rin was also moved. Wasn't this a bit too coincidental? He asked calmly, "What did you say the child's name was?"
"Old Hui, the young lady's name is Miyazaki Dukong."
"Dukong? Haha, that's a good name. How old is the child?"
The servant was a little stunned. Did the elder ask such detailed questions? He seemed to have forgotten to ask as soon as he heard Master Zheping's name.
Seeing that the servant did not answer, Miyazaki Rin's face turned a little unhappy, "Why? You didn't ask?"
The servant lowered his head in shame, "Elder, I just heard Young Master Zheping's name, and I got a little excited, so I forgot to ask."
Miyazaki Rin didn't even glance at the servants, "Go get the child."
"yes!"
Just as the servant was about to leave, Miyazaki Takuya came to his senses and hurriedly shouted, "Wait!"
Miyazaki Rin looked up at him and signaled with her eyes, "Just say whatever you want to say."
Miyazaki Takuya was a little afraid of his father's eyes at this moment, but he still wanted to express his thoughts, "Father, I don't agree."
