Chapter 312: Accident before the Banquet (1)

Inside Kamisato Mansion, as Thomas announced that the Kamisato family would hold a banquet, the entire Kamisato Mansion became busy early in the morning. Even the busy Kamisato Ayato, the head of the Kamisato family, did not handle any work today. Instead, he drank tea in the courtyard of Kamisato Mansion and directed the servants to prepare for the banquet.

"Thomas, how are the preparations going? Is there anything wrong?"

"Master, everything is almost ready, except that the wine and grill seem to have not been delivered yet."

Thomas took a notebook and carefully checked the supplies before reporting the situation to Kamisato Ayato truthfully. Kamisato Ayato took a sip of tea. It must be said that the Liyue tea bought from Captain Beidou tasted quite good.

Kamisato Ayato squinted his eyes and savored the fragrance of tea in his mouth. The sweet taste made Ayato develop a strong interest in this tea. It seems that he can talk to Captain Beidou about this tea when he has time. If he remembers correctly, there seems to be a tea room in their Kamisato family. However, the most important thing now is to prepare for the evening banquet. If there is any trouble, there may be no place for him in this family.

"Thomas, you know how much importance Linghua attaches to this banquet. How about this? You can mobilize all the idle personnel in the finale today. I only have one request."

"The banquet must go smoothly tonight, can you do that?"

"Master, for such an important matter, why don't you go there in person? I'm worried that I might not have enough face. If the young lady blames me, I'm afraid..."

Thinking about how his young lady personally escorted ten suckling pigs back to Kamisato's house with a knife yesterday for this banquet, Thomas felt that if he didn't handle it well, his young lady would definitely not forgive him. After all, all of his young lady's friends would come to this banquet, and this was the first time that his young lady invited so many friends to visit Kamisato's house. His young lady attached great importance to this banquet.

It is obvious that Kamisato Ayato has also considered this. Seeing Thomas in such an awkward situation, Kamisato Ayato simply became selectively deaf, as if he didn't hear what Thomas said.

Seeing that the head of his family did not want to bring trouble upon himself, Thomas had no choice but to take the token given to him by Kamisato Ayato and walk towards the headquarters of the Final Ban. He now only hoped that there was still time.

"Thomas, the bluffing long-tongued bird will only get itself into trouble. Tell this to the old dog Song Pu. If he still refuses to change his ways, then I will have to go there myself."

Kamisato Ayato's words came from behind Thomas. Thomas paused and quickened his pace to walk out. Based on his understanding of his own master, the problem with the wine should not be that simple, but he still had to go to the wine dealer to find out the situation first.

As it turned out, Thomas's guess was correct. When he came to the wine dealer and was about to ask why the wine was not delivered to Kamisato Yashiki in time, Thomas frowned when he saw the empty wine cellar and the extremely nervous wine dealer beside him.

"What's going on? Didn't I order some wine from you the day before yesterday? How come there's not a single jar left now?"

"Brother Thomas, you really can't blame me for this. This morning, I had already loaded the wine into the car and was about to deliver it to you, but right after I loaded it, a group of people came and bought all the wine. They didn't even give me a chance to explain."

"After those bastards threw down a bag of Mora, I tried to stop them but was beaten up by them. They didn't even give me enough money for the drinks."

The wine seller explained to Thomas with a sad face. Seeing the black and blue on his face, Thomas lost his momentum to accuse him. Thomas, who was kind-hearted, sighed and took some Mora from his pocket and handed it to the seller. "Go and have a look at the wound on your face. I already know about this matter. We in the Kamisato family will not cause any trouble to you."

"No, Brother Thomas, I can't have this Mora. You've always taken good care of me..."

Thomas did not listen to what the wine dealer said. After stuffing Mora into the wine dealer's arms, Thomas walked out of the wine storehouse directly. After all, the wine dealer was also a victim, and Thomas did not intend to cause trouble for him.

As the intelligence and force agency of the Kamisato family, the Final Ninja is naturally powerful when operating at full capacity. Thomas, who came out of the wine cellar, immediately received the information handed over by a Final Ninja. After taking a rough look at the information, a trace of anger appeared on the face of Thomas, the good old man.

"Damn, the robbing has come to our Kamisato family, right? Come on, call all the people from the end of the army, and go to the Kanjo Bugyo. I want to see what those small families are up to."

In the Tong family mansion, many small families that were dependent on the Tong family in the past were now gathering in the courtyard of the Tong family mansion. The once high and mighty Tong family is now less powerful than before because most of their members have been detained and awaiting trial.

"Miss Tong, today is the day your cousin is getting engaged. Miss Tong, you'd better be happy."

Tong Qianli, who had just come out of the house, looked at the servants busying around her with an expressionless face. Shinjijo, who was the most loyal to her, was nowhere to be seen. Only Matsuura, with a stern face, reminded her to put on a cheerful look.

"Uncle Matsuura, why did you only inform me now that my cousin is getting engaged today?"

"Niece Tong Qianli, didn't your cousin tell you that your cousin and my son are in love and they have already decided to get engaged today?"

Tong Qianli didn't believe a word of what Matsuura said. After experiencing the dramatic changes in her family, Tong Qianli was no longer the innocent little girl. Now she has learned to think independently.

Besides, her cousin is a loyal fan of the eldest young master of the Kamisato family. Tong Qianli has heard her cousin say more than once that she will not marry anyone else but the head of the Kamisato family.

How could her cousin, who had such high standards, fall in love with a man who was ten years older than her? Moreover, Matsuura's son was not very good-looking, and her cousin, who was obsessed with looks, would definitely not give her life to that man.

After ruling out all possible scenarios, Tong Qianli was more willing to believe that it must be the old man Matsuura who was behind the scenes forcing her cousin to marry his son, as far as Matsuura said that the two were in love with each other.

What a despicable guy! He even resorted to such means just to get the power of Kande Bugyo. It was disgusting. A trace of disgust flashed in Tong Qianli's eyes but she quickly suppressed it. The Tong family no longer has any power now. Even if she opposed it, the result would not change.

"Ms. Tong, I heard that you have a good relationship with the second young master of the Kujo family, Kujo Kamajima. The next few days are suitable for getting married. Why don't you go to the Kujo family and become your mistress?"
