Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance
Chapter 67: The Rise of Violence
Chapter 67: The Rise of Violence
"My Lords, three bowls of soup cost a total of 270 taels."
Inside the Konoha Village, today is the last day of the 49th year of Konoha. Sima Yi, Shisui and Hui have the rare opportunity to come out for a stroll while doing some New Year shopping.
Although it was exceptionally cold on the day when the snow melted, the streets were very busy.
At Sima Yi's insistence, the three of them came to the place where they drank mutton soup.
When Hui heard the price, he paused as he took out the money. He looked at the woman and asked, "Wasn't it 80 taels a bowl last time? How long has it gone up to 90 taels?"
"This"
The woman paused, looking embarrassed, and said, "It snowed heavily these days, and it's New Year's Day, so prices are rising, and there's nothing we can do."
Hui opened his mouth to ask more questions, but was stopped by Sima Yi.
"Okay, give her the money. We still need to go shopping somewhere else."
"I'm just asking, I'm not not paying."
Hui muttered something, then obediently paid. Shisui glanced at the empty store and asked curiously, "Has business always been bad in this store?"
"It was better before, but I don't know why recently."
The woman glanced at the two people's family emblems and a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes. She seemed a little afraid and dared not say much.
"Uh hehe, ok, thank you."
Shisui smiled awkwardly, and the three of them left the store.
"Why does she look so scared? We didn't do anything. Even the police department shouldn't interfere with a small shop like this, right?"
Shisui was a little puzzled. This kind of small shop might never attract the attention of the Uchiha in its entire life, let alone be bullied by the Uchiha.
Sima Yi heard this and explained calmly: "Three people make a tiger. If you hear too much about the police department, you will naturally take it seriously. Don't pay any attention to it."
"Uncle Yi, something seems wrong. The prices of many goods in the village are rising."
Hui looked at the prices on the surrounding shops and couldn't help but frown and whispered.
Sima Yi looked at the villagers passing by and smiled meaningfully, "New Year is coming and it's snowing heavily. It's normal to increase the price."
Sima Yi did not explain much and just walked along the street.
Hui looked at his back and remembered the previous mission, while Shisui remembered Sima Yi's warning to him to learn more and observe more. After looking at each other, they followed him silently.
During the trip, Sima Yi kept stopping to buy some snacks to taste and observe the people passing by.
"Did you take today off just to go shopping?"
The three of them walked and stopped, and near noon they suddenly met Uchiha Tetsuka who was on patrol.
There were four other people around Tiehuo, and two tribesmen from the police department were each escorting a villager.
The three people from the police department had different expressions when they saw Hui. The two behind him greeted him secretly, but Tiehuo glanced at him expressionlessly, and only relaxed a little when he saw Shisui.
"Yeah, tomorrow is New Year's Day, I can't have a stern face and be pointed at for the whole year~"
Hui felt an inexplicable sense of pleasure when watching others work during holidays.
Tiehuo paused, too lazy to pay attention to him.
Shisui looked at the people behind him and asked, "What happened to them?"
"We just received a report that these two people were arguing fiercely at the rally. When we arrived, they had already started fighting. In order not to affect others, I had no choice but to take them back first."
When the police mentioned them, the two men became agitated. One of the fat men shouted, "I already said he was the first to attack. Why are you arresting me?"
The other thin man burst into cursing upon hearing this.
"Asshole, it was you, a profiteer, who cheated me first. Last night I went to buy three catties of mutton from him, and he agreed to sell it for 190 taels per catty. I paid the money, but today when I came to get the meat, he asked me to pay another taels, otherwise he would not sell it to me. Asshole, profiteer, why don't you just go to hell!"
Is it really that serious just for sixty taels?
Seeing this, Shisui paused, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Then he looked at the fat man and said, "Since you agreed with him yesterday, why did you go back on your word today?"
The fat man was not afraid to see that Shisui didn't have the uniform of the police department. "I didn't tell you to buy the mutton at yesterday's price when I sold it to you yesterday." Shisui's eyes widened and he subconsciously said, "You obviously took the money!"
"That's just a deposit. He has to give me sixty taels anyway!"
"Shut up and behave yourself. If you have anything to say, come back with us." Seeing the two of them starting to argue again, Tiehuo frowned and glanced at them coldly. The two of them became quiet in fear.
"Don't pay attention to them. Once they sit inside for a while, they will know who is right and who is wrong. You guys continue shopping. I'll take them back first."
Tiehuo had seen a lot of things like this and was already used to it. He said hello and led the four people away.
"The common people in the market are very calculative. Many things don't make sense to them."
This kind of thing is difficult to handle fairly. From a moral point of view, the fat man should be punished, but from a legal point of view, the thin man had no written contract with him, but he took action first and affected the cityscape, so he should be punished.
Sima Yi knew the trouble, but he didn't care. He just tried to dissuade Zhishui from causing any more trouble at this time.
"Sixty taels alone is controversial, so what should we do if it's more?"
Shisui thought hard about how to deal with the situation, but then he remembered what happened at the previous Jonin meeting, and then he shook his head.
This question is still too complicated for him at the moment.
"Why think so much? We have been shopping for the whole morning and we have seen at least five quarrels. Tomorrow is New Year's Day. Why are people so angry? Fortunately, I asked for leave today, otherwise it would be another busy day."
Hui spoke casually, he looked around, quickly found a restaurant, and pulled the two of them over.
"Let's eat first. We have a lot of things to do at home in the afternoon."
Upon hearing this, Shisui smiled and joked, "This is just an ordinary restaurant. Aren't we going to Akimichi's barbecue restaurant?"
"Forget it. I've been eating too much lately. I need to slow down." Hui smiled awkwardly. In order to get along well with other people in the police department, he had been going to barbecue restaurants frequently recently, so his diet was a bit greasy.
After eating something, the three of them returned to the clan. Hui wanted to help his father clean the yard, while Shisui and Sima Yi also had to go back home to make preparations for what was to happen next.
"These are for the elders and the clan leader, and these are for the third generation and three assistants. Tomorrow is the first visit of the clan. After the ceremony, you have time to bring the gifts and visit them.
Remember not to get the order wrong, visit the clan leader first, then go to the clan elders’ homes, and then the third generation and several assistants.”
In the hall, Sima Yi pointed to the gifts prepared in advance and arranged the itinerary for Shisui.
"Shouldn't we visit three generations first?"
Sima Yi couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. "No need to do that. If there are elders in the clan, we should visit them first to avoid giving people a chance to talk."
"Do the three assistants have to be sent?"
Shisui found it a little hard to accept. He even thought about being rejected by Danzo or Utane Koharu.
Sima Yi stroked his beard and chuckled, "Open your mind, remember what I told you. A man who is magnanimous can achieve great things. If they have the attitude, whether they accept it or not is their business."
Zhishui was suspicious, always feeling that Sima Yi had secretly done something that he didn't know about, but he didn't ask too much. He believed that Sima Yi would naturally tell him when the time was right.
"Okay, then who are these for?" Shisui asked, pointing at another pile of gift boxes.
"These are for the police department and your former subordinates. I will send someone to deliver them to show my kindness."
Sima Yi said this while looking outside the hall, where Jinhuo, Yingshu and six others were carrying food and clothing.
"And those are for ordinary tribesmen. I originally planned to let Jinhuo and the others deliver them, but I found from your last test that Itachi's character seems to have not changed. If you don't want to fight him in the future, you should take him with you to take a look. The timing is right these few days."
Itachi always described Uchiha as narrow-minded, broad-minded and magnanimous. It was from this point that Sima Yi discovered that Itachi was a little too arrogant and conceited.
His eyes were always fixed on the upper class, constantly examining the others, but he ignored the ordinary people at the bottom.
If his mindset cannot be changed, there will inevitably be more trouble in the future.
Shisui looked solemn and nodded heavily.
"I will, Grandpa!"
