Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 185
Episode 185. Does the screen go down your throat now?
But it’s not Haomen, it’s Cheonhwabang?
Of course, the larger the size of the breakwater, the more money to be ripped off.
If you’d rather come from Haomen, you could pick up a few pennies and be done. However, if the opponent is a Moorim Bangpa like Cheonhwabang, you can’t go over it.
‘ha! I can’t help it.’
The desperate Nam Cho-gyeol just accepted the reality.
I thought that one day this day might come. It’s just that the day has come quickly.
He made up his mind to persevere as long as he could, and if that didn’t work out, he’d do as he wished.
In fact, there was no other pointed number besides that.
Entering the restaurant, Nam Cho-gyeol approached the five men and women without hesitation.
“I am Nam Cho-gyeol, the owner of the inn. Are you from the Cheonhwabang?”
“is it so. I’m Joo Hwa-young of Peony Danju of Cheonhwabang. Please sit down for a while.”
It is a recommendation close to a command.
Nam Cho-gyeol sat down in the empty seat across from Joo Hwa-yeong.
And waited for her next words.
“I think you know why we are here. Our Cheonhwabang is supplying ingredients and alcoholic beverages to Gaekjan and Giru in the northern part of Gaebyeon. Of course, it also prevents customers who don’t pay properly or who cause trouble. The Ark wants us to do business with the inn for each other.”
“Thank you for your words, but our inn is small and in a remote place, so there are not many guests. There are no customers who cause trouble because there are only one or two merchants who use it.”
“It would not be easy to operate without such customers. Wouldn’t it be better to sell guesthouses in our Cheonhwa Room?”
Joo Hwa-young looked at Nam Cho-gyeol with cold eyes.
Nam Cho-gyeol let out a long sigh as he could not see any room to escape.
“ha! It’s not a situation where you can sell a guesthouse. Currently, the inn is caught up in fraudulent trading, so I am unable to act as the owner.”
“What else do you mean by that? If you are going through such a hardship, you will need the help of our Cheonhwabang even more. We specialize in handling such things.”
“While I was on break for a few years, some swindlers sold him an inn and ran away. For that reason, our inn now has one more owner besides me.”
“It turned out to be a scam, so you mean pretending to be the owner?”
“Yes, even the Anchalsa adverb came out to investigate, but it is not resolved.”
“aha! So there are no customers, but it is difficult to sell guest cups, is this?”
“That’s right.”
Momentarily, a sneer came to Joo Hwa-young’s lips.
Cheonhwabang is a breakwater between political affairs.
That means doing both good and bad things.
“I know what you mean. When we make a suggestion like this, people usually react in two ways. Either willingly accept it or try to sneak away like you.”
“It’s not like that…”
“It’s okay. You will regret turning down my offer. I will definitely make it that way.”
Joo Hwa-yeong rose from her seat with the horse.
Surprised, Nam Cho-gyeol hurriedly tried to catch her, but to no avail.
Joo Hwa-yeong and the four warriors left the inn without looking back.
Just then, Yeon Jeok-ha and Nam Su-gyeong returned to the inn.
I passed Nam Cho-gyeol, who was in love with him, and took a seat by the window.
Nam Soo-kyung smiled and approached Nam Cho-gyeol, who was standing there with a bewildered face.
“grandfather?”
“Are you here?”
“What are you looking at so blankly? Your complexion is not good either. What are you doing?”
“The people from Cheonhwabang went there a little while ago.”
“Cheonghwabang?”
“They say it’s a breakwater that supplies ingredients and alcohol to the northern part of Gaebong. It also protects you.”
“So what?”
“They said they wanted to help run our inn. So I declined.”
“Ah, the dagwan where I worked seemed to be doing it with some kind of breakwater. Will you be okay though?”
“All right. What would happen to an inn with few customers anyway?”
“If you can, please do as they say.”
“I think so too.”
Nam Cho-gyeol thought of accepting them unconditionally if they came back.
‘Did I just bounce back when I was supposed to ask for favors…’
Nam Cho-gyeol, who had never been threatened by someone, already felt heavy.
***
Next morning.
The expression of Sook-soo Gong Yoo, who went in and out of the kitchen, was not good.
This is because Son, who brought the ingredients every morning, did not come.
Concerned, he informed Nam Cho-gyeol that there was a problem with the supply of ingredients.
“Don’t worry. I saw what happened to Mr. Son, but I will go and find out.”
Nam Cho-gyeol did not think that he had used his hands in the Cheonhwabang.
After a rough breakfast, Nam Cho-gyeol went to Mr. Son’s store.
“Look. Did you forget the ingredients to send to the inn today? They say they haven’t come yet.”
An awkward smile appeared on Son Young-nak’s face.
“Old man. How do I do this? We ran out of ingredients.”
“Dawn?”
“I bought all the ingredients from the opening.”
“No when?”
“Last night.”
“Tsk! If you do, take care of it tomorrow.”
“Sorry, but that seems difficult.”
“why not?”
“We have decided to sell all ingredients to Hama Cheonggo in the future.”
“What do you mean? Then what about our inn?”
“I think you should look elsewhere.”
Nam Cho-gyeol apologized, but Son Young-nak only repeated the words, “I’m sorry.”
Inevitably, Nam Cho-gyeol went to another store, but that place had already signed a contract with Hama Cheonggo.
In other words, the two grocery stores in Hsangchon have all moved to Hapma Cheonggo.
Nam Cho-gyeol had no choice but to return empty-handed.
Sitting in the restaurant and thinking about it, it seemed that I had tried my hand at Cheonhwabang.
‘I heard that it makes me regret it, but it’s really scary.’
If this is the case, the guesthouse will be closed.
There was no way guests would come to the inn where no food was served!
At that time, Yeon Jeok-ha, who had overslept, came down to the dining room for breakfast.
Sang-do served cheongchae and hoemyeon without taking an order, as if he was accustomed to it.
As Yeon Jeok-ha ate the raw noodles next to him making a horrifying sound, Nam Cho-gyeol said a word.
“Look. Are you going down your throat now?”
“Why are you fighting again in the morning?”
“Did you know that they are aiming for my inn at Gaebong’s Cheonhwabang?”
“What’s wrong?”
Yeon Jeok-ha also overheard the conversation between Nam Cho-gyeol and Nam Soo-kyung in the early evening yesterday.
But it’s not even your guesthouse, so what?
“They used their hands to wipe out all the ingredients in the Burning Village. It means that even your favorite food will be over in a few days. Got it? All that remains is to close the door.”
Yeonjeokha frowned at the words that the food was over.
The reason he tried to stay in the guesthouse was for a place to sleep and food.
However, it was a little unpleasant that the food would run out soon.
“Tsk! It seems like he’s coming to his senses now that there’s nothing to put in his mouth.”
“So why do you make things work out well with Cheonhwabang?”
“Did I know they would come out like this? I was just trying to bargain…”
“Did they say they were coming again?”
“He will come at least to take over the inn.”
“Then call me. I’ll take care of it.”
“Don’t get me wrong. You’re not even the owner of the inn, so what are you doing?”
“Then why are you talking to me like that? I don’t like it when Cheonhwabang takes care of it. I hate it when I say I take care of it. He is a man of great greed. It’s time to leave anyway, so you’re saying you’re going to hug this inn and die together?”
“Tsk tsk! The voice of a young person. It’s not because of my greed, it’s that you don’t know the subject. It will be your loss if you interfere and get hit by the Cheonhwabang people.”
“Old man. Do you know what they say when they see that?”
“Just talk.”
“Have you heard that mice think of cats?”
“It must be that the cat thinks of the mouse. If you don’t know for sure, don’t even say it.”
“Damn it. why can’t you hear me? Elderly chief and Cheon Hwa-bang hold hands and say that I am a cat. So you don’t have to worry about me.”
“As you said, I might be a rat. But it still doesn’t change that you need to know the subject. The cat is not you, it is Cheonhwabang.”
“her! So, I hold the old man’s words, and Cheonhwabang is a cat?”
“Right. So don’t be reckless. I don’t even have Old Sim, so who’s going to take care of you?”
Namchogyeol’s words were mixed with concern and ridicule.
It feels like he is releasing his anger accumulated due to Cheonhwabang on an easy opponent.
Yeonjeokha put down his chopsticks roughly.
“Wow! It’s the first time I’ve ever seen someone calling me a rat. old man! There are only three things I hate in the world. Do you know what it is?”
“Tsk tsk! A young person talking about it.”
As the conversation between the two became rough, Sang Il-woon and Sang-do were at a loss. Even Gong Yoo, who was in the kitchen, came out to the restaurant wondering what was going on.
“I hate kids and women and old people. Just thinking about it makes my teeth tremble!”
“Good. They will hate you too.”
“That old man is really…”
He trembled as he rolled up his fists.
I wanted to throw a punch in the face, but I couldn’t. Nam Cho-gyeol was a goofy old man, to the point of holding a portrait even if he got hit.
If Nam Cho-gyeol was a wicked person, he would not have thought about the future, but he was an ordinary old man.
Where else!
He is also the grandfather of Nam Soo-kyung, his one and only friend.
Nam Soo-kyung, who was looking around the room at the moment of immediacy, came down in surprise.
“grandfather? Kite Confucius? Why are you fighting?”
Before Nam Cho-gyeol could say anything, Yeon Jeok-ha spoke first.
“No, they call me a rat since morning. Since there is no old man Sim, I’m told to stay depressed. Would you put up with it if you were like me?”
Of course, Yeon Jeok-ha added the words ‘baby’ and ‘keep up’.
If there is a quarrel in green forest, it is not new to inflate it like that.
Then Nam Cho-gyeol grabbed the back of his neck and shouted.
“Oops! He doesn’t even spit in his mouth and he lies. When did I say you were a rat? I’ve never been told to stay down. Soo-kyung, everything that comes out of that guy’s mouth is a lie! If you open your mouth, it’s a lie, so it’s clear that you’re a fraudster.”
“grandfather! Please stop it! The practitioner is my friend!”
Still, Nam Soo-kyung seemed to have become close with him yesterday, and he slightly talked to Yeon Jeok-ha.
“A friend? that guy is a scammer Have you already fallen for his words? Sugyeong-ah, you shouldn’t do that for the sake of your dead parents. Please come to your senses.”
At those words, Nam Soo-kyung burst into anger.
“Say that someone passed over! And why are you talking about your parents here! Don’t just say anything! It could hurt the listener!”
As Nam Soo-kyung burst into tears, Nam Cho-gyeol fainted in surprise.
Immediately, tears like chicken droppings fell from Nam Soo-kyung’s eyes.
When the friend cried, the enemy’s anger melted away like snow.
Embarrassed, he gestured for Sang-do, who was far away, closer.
“Yes, Confucius.”
“You have to go to the opening.”
“Is it open?”
“Yes, go to a place called Cheonhwabang and tell the Ark. Jump into the inn immediately.”
“…”
Surprised by the crazy sound, Sangdo turned his head to Nam Soo-kyung and Nam Cho-gyeol.
Then Yeonjeokha said.
“Little boy. It’s not them who hired you, it’s me and Old Sim. don’t forget that.”
When Nam Cho-gyeol said he didn’t know me, Nam Soo-kyung hurriedly wiped away her tears and dissuaded her.
“You don’t have to go to work at the Cheonhwabang for senior citizens.”
“It’s okay. As long as they’re aiming for an inn, we have to meet at least once.”
There was some truth in his words, so Nam Su-gyeong did not object.
Yeon Jeok-ha kicked the butt of Sang-do, who was still hesitant.
“Go, son!”
