We’ve traveled through Tokyo, who still wants to simulate love? - #180 - Chapter 179 Kaguya and Minamoto Hidenori, past events spanning decades

“Besides this matter, I would like to tell you about some news that I have investigated during this period.”

Asaba Kazama thought for a moment, organized his words, and then opened his mouth and said to Amamiya Mai:

“Have you heard the story of Princess Kaguya?”

Amamiya Mai rolled her eyes: “In Japan, it would be difficult to find someone who has never heard the story of Princess Kaguya.”

Qian Yufengma nodded.

Princess Kaguya is a character in “The Tale of Bamboo”. In the island country, she is a masterpiece similar to “The Tale of Genji”, so naturally many people know about her.

He continued: “The Genji originates from “The Tale of Genji” and is considered one of the oldest families in Japan. However, many years ago, when the previous generation of family heads inherited the Genji family, the Genji family was on the verge of collapse.

When the old family took over Genji, Genji had almost lost its core business. “

Japan is a country that smells stale from top to bottom.

Under normal circumstances, their internal methods of selecting and employing people are almost solidified. The tradition of passing down from father to son can be said to be so deeply ingrained in this land that it is almost difficult to break through. So much so that you can understand the Japanese congressmen at a glance. You will find the same group of people coming and going.

It can be said that it is still very difficult for famous families to collapse in this land.

But just because it’s difficult doesn’t mean it’s impossible.

Genji encountered a similar situation back then.

What Asaba Kazama and Amamiya Mai were talking about was some information that was extremely taboo within the Genji family.

That was over fifty years ago.

At that time, the head of the Genji family, Minamoto Hidenori, was still a young man who had just inherited the foundation of the Genji family, and he thought about flexing his muscles in Japan.

However, Japan was in its most severe period at that time. Those years were the most serious times when mold was the king of this land.

The iron fist from America across the sea made Japan tremble at that time, and the trauma left by Hiroshima Love made the whole world applaud.

As the so-called craziest era, let alone the Genji where Minamoto Hidenori lives, even if you say you are Yamata-no-Orochi, you can’t stop others from being malicious towards you. In the face of an existential crisis, Genji encountered an internal and external alliance. The black hand.

For a time, the flow of funds was cut off, the mansion was robbed, and even Minamoto Hidenori himself almost died.

Later, Minamoto Hidenori quietly abandoned many people and disappeared for several years.

When he reappeared, he had reorganized his subordinates and successfully packed the rebel branch families with cement and threw them into Tokyo Bay.

Later, Minamoto Hidenori didn’t know where he got a financial support. He quickly relied on Genji’s original prestige to regain part of the industry, and then developed rapidly. He even had a stronger foundation and a better foundation than when he first took over Genji. too much.

The elders of that generation gave him the name “Wise Fox”, thinking that he was extremely smart and cunning like a fox. It is said that the old family owner had a bad reputation back then, but it was of no use.

Musk’s partners even called Musk a madman and a bastard, but that didn’t stop them from making money every day.

It was under such circumstances that Genji developed at an unprecedented speed. No one knew what the old head of the family, Genshidori, did back then, and where the unknown source of funds came from.

I only know that when Genji developed into the last century, and the energy in the traditional industry had reached its peak, the old head of Genji, who had not yet retired at that time, directly and decisively asked Genji to change the development of the industry.

The original automobile manufacturing, real estate, energy and chemical industries were slowly sold off or exchanged interests, and the focus of development was placed on an industry that although many people in Japan had previously paid attention to, few giants had invested heavily –

biology.

In the past, this thing was more of a privilege for those countries in the West. Although Japan has been catching up with the industry’s top leaders in recent years and has been catching up with the industry, it is like the other side of the sea. The situation is still very different.

It was under such circumstances that Genji plunged into this deep pit.

Especially the real estate industry back then, which can be said to be one of Genji’s core cash flows, did not know how much of a rebound it caused within Genji after being sold off on a large scale.

Although the authority of the head of the Genji family is very important, the core that holds all the Genji together is the family’s interests.

Minamoto Hidenori had shaken the interests of many people in the Minamoto family at that time, so much so that there was also impeachment within the family.

But Minamoto Hidenori carried out his plan regardless, with a certain aura that those who obeyed would prosper and those who resisted would perish. In the end, the criticism within the family weakened.

It wasn’t that he was afraid of Minamoto Hidenori, but that Minamoto Hideori directly used off-the-chart moves and began to endanger the lives of those who opposed and their families, as if they were going to die together.

Genji finally developed again. Some poor old guys in the past also benefited from the development of Genji. How could they be willing to gamble with their lives on this matter?

In this case, Genji’s strategy took a U-turn, shocking countless famous families.

You want to know how far Tokyo’s real estate has developed in the last century? This madness has caused various real estate companies to explode with cash flow.

Genji wanted to withdraw from this industry, and there were countless families and financial groups who wanted to directly take over this piece of cake from him, so of course they cashed out a considerable amount of liquid cash.

At this time, the signing of the Plaza Accord brought Japan’s rapid development to a halt.

The lost decade?

No, it is the lost twenty or thirty years, I am afraid there will be another forty or fifty years…

Betting on the fate of the country?

If you dare to bet, then dare to die.

This time, no one can support Japan.

It didn’t take long for the tide of the times to overwhelm everyone.

No matter what famous family you are, they will all fall apart in the face of the real general trend.

The funny thing is that Genji, who had withdrawn a large amount of cash at that time, did not suffer much impact because the capital was flowing out of the Japanese circle. Even after the funds returned, he even bought many of the family’s deep-rooted assets.

After a wave of prejudgments, there was no longer any opposition to the old patriarch within Genji. This situation continues to this day and is deeply affecting Genji.

When Asaba Kazama said this, Amamiya Mai was a little confused:

“These things you mentioned have been heard in the Genji family. What does it have to do with Princess Kaguya?”

Asaba Kazama shook his head and said: “Until now, it really has nothing to do with Princess Kaguya, but it will matter from now on.”

“Well, tell me?”

Asaba Kazama began to tell some stories that Amamiya Mai had never heard before.

That story happens to be something that no one within the Genji family knows about, something that happened in the years after Minamoto Hidenori disappeared.

Under normal circumstances, the secrets of the old head of the Genji family would be easy to investigate. These matters should have been investigated internally by the Genji family long ago.

After all, people within the Genji family are also very curious about what the old patriarch did back then, who he got the help from, and where the liquidity came from.

The old patriarch has never told anyone else about this kind of secret conversation about getting rich, which shows that he is eager to hide the news.

Now it seems that he hid it really well…until Asaba Kazama added money.

Asaba Kazama’s partner is a private detective who has been working in the industry for a long time.

This man regards wealth as his life, quite similar to the character of the male protagonist in “The Winner Is Justice” that he watched in his previous life.

After receiving Asaba Kazama’s excuse for adding money, he began to intensify his investigation.

For example, it is not easy to sort out the development of Genji over the past few decades. It is necessary to find people who know the information and then extract the scattered information from them.

Even if he wanted to know what he had experienced in the years when Minamoto Hideori disappeared, he didn’t have the ability to do it.

It was purely a coincidence that he knew this.

The grandfather of the private detective used to be a member of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and he was still engaged in serious case work.

As a qualified witness, he has amazing eyesight and memory for the appearance of criminals.

After the private detective could no longer find out the relevant information, he returned home, extremely regretful that he had missed another opportunity to make money.

It happened that my grandfather, who was already very old at that time, was tired of retiring in the countryside and came to Tokyo to see his son, daughter-in-law, and grandson Hohoku. As a result, when he was bending over to help the detective grandson organize the documents on his desk, a photo of Hideno Minamoto in his youth appeared on the table. caught his attention.

The old superintendent had seen this man.

After hearing the news from his grandfather, the private detective was also shocked.

Because his grandfather told him that the man in the photo at that time had been reduced to begging on the street. Every time he begged with others, he would madly tell others that as long as he gave him enough money, he would tell others a secret, a secret about something. The secret of the ancient goddess Kaguya.

“Um? Are you sure it’s not the private detective who is deceiving you?”

When Asaba Kazama talked about the news, Amamiya Mai’s expression was a bit dumbfounded: “Although there are such outrageous things as adjusting genes in this world, let’s forget about myths and legends. It’s a bit nonsense…”

But when she saw Qian Yufengjian’s unwavering expression, she felt a little frozen for a moment.

She knew that Asaha Kazama was not a fool, there must be a reason for him to say this, and she believed that this matter might be true.

“The private detective’s grandfather once rescued the head of the Genji family who was still alive out of kindness. My partner never lags behind in making money.

He quickly changed his mind and followed the path of his grandfather, investigating the behind-the-scenes information about his grandfather’s rapid promotion in the Metropolitan Police in the years when he was approaching retirement.

This was easier than directly investigating the past decades ago. I quickly learned through my grandfather’s former boss that his grandfather had received special treatment from a prominent family, and finally confirmed that that Noble family……”

“Don’t tell me it’s Genji?” Amamiya Mai’s mouth twitched slightly.

Asaba Kazama nodded, and continued: “After confirming this news, the detective can basically confirm that the madman his grandfather met and rescued back then is indeed the old head of Genji.

However, because the famous families rarely have direct contact with ordinary people and do not specifically search for relevant information, even the detective’s grandfather has almost no chance of meeting Minamoto Hideori again.

But what really shocked me was the relevant news I investigated next. “

Qian Yufengzhi continued.

Now that the private detective has confirmed that the wandering beggar was Genhideori himself, there is no need to continue investigating the relevant intelligence along Genji’s information.

He changed his mind and went directly to the Jedao where Yuan Xiudian had been begging, and looked for information from the old people who had never changed their place of residence.

Those people had no impression of Minamoto Hideori at all, but when it came to the beggar who “exchanged the secrets of the goddess Kaguya for wealth”, some people still had an impression.

After all, crazy beggars can still attract more people’s attention than normal beggars.

During some exploration, the private detective made another progress with an old woman.

The old lady looked at Yuan Xiudian’s pity and had just given the beggar some extra food. Perhaps for this reason, the beggar would occasionally chat with the young woman about some strange things when he was not so hungry. matter.

At that time, Minamoto Hideori told the story of the goddess to this kind old man, and then said a little nervously that the goddess had returned to the land of Japan after a thousand years and left here again.

At that time, the young old woman only thought what Minamoto Hideori said was a joke, until one day later, the nervous beggar disappeared.

It is said that the beggar received funding from a wealthy local family.

It didn’t take long for both the beggars and the rich to leave the city, disappearing into history just like the thousands of passers-by.

According to what the old lady said, the wealthy man seemed to have invested in the steel factory in the city before.

With this news, the private detective searched for relevant information about the former investors of the nearby steel plant.

Non-local rich people invested in steel plants and later left the city directly…

The private detective followed this clue and finally locked in a list of only a few people, and then he could no longer trace it.

Asaba Kazama printed the list on paper, there were only a few people in total.

Amamiya Mai glanced at the first few people and knew that most of them seemed to have no connection with Genji. Until she saw a familiar last name, her eyes narrowed and she said in surprise:

“Hatoyama Kotaro?”

Asaba Kazama nodded and said seriously: “It’s interesting, isn’t it? Most of this group of people should have nothing to do with you Genji, except for this Hatoyama Kotaro.”

Or to be more precise, Kotaro Hatoyama had absolutely nothing to do with Genji before.

Even Hatoyama Kotaro has never seen Minamoto Hidenoori in his life. The wealthy businessman died of illness more than 20 years ago.

But Kotaro Hatoyama has a son named Eiichi Hatoyama.

Eiichi Hatoyama had a daughter named Miyoko Hatoyama.

Miyoko Hatoyama is now married and has taken her husband’s surname, Miyoko Minamoto.

Minamoto Miyoko and her husband Minamoto Zaiyoshi gave birth to a daughter named Minamoto Masuru.

A shady story that spanned decades involved two seemingly unrelated families.

In the eyes of the outside world, the Genji family has considerable influence in all parties, and the Hatoyama family is a frequent visitor to the Japanese Parliament. Is the combination of the two more like a marriage?

But now it seems that there may be some things hidden in this that Asaha Kazama doesn’t know about.
