Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 333
Episode 333. When Yeon Jeok-ha, a walking
screen, agreed, Zhang Yuan, the leader of the Three Gorges in Cheongju, called for a fortune teller.
“Get me a drink here.”
“Yes, I have Geom Nam-chun and Ye Ah-hong, Juk-yeop-cheong, and Baek Geon-a. What would you like?”
Jeomsoi called them in order of price and glanced at Yeonjeokha.
The choice of alcohol changes depending on the status of the guest, which naturally aroused curiosity.
If he is a noble guest, he will order Geom Nam-chun, and if he is a mediocre person, he will order Baek Geon-ah.
“Bring it to the Jukyeobcheong.”
“Yes yes.”
For the last time, Jeom So-yi glanced at Yeonjeok-ha again.
Jukyeopcheong is a little ambiguous.
It is more expensive than Baek Geon-ah, but it is difficult to say that it is a high-end liquor.
So it’s not that he’s nothing special, but that doesn’t mean he’s not a great person either.
After finishing the evaluation of the guest he had joined, Jeom So-yi walked away with quick steps.
By the time the bamboo leaf extract came out, I had emptied the nurtured raw noodles cleanly to the floor.
Originally, when money runs out, it is natural to become frugal.
In the past, the placenta of food was left behind, but the current couple couldn’t do that.
“Come on, let’s have a drink.”
Il Soo-han filled Yeonjeok-ha’s glass with alcohol.
Yeon Jeok-ha asked when he was drunk.
“I don’t know, but where is the flag country located?”
Then, Il Soo-han answered right away.
“Namjilgyeseong has its headquarters. There is a branch in Jeongju.”
“But what are you doing here?”
“I’m trying to set up a branch in Heochang, which is in the middle, but it seems like checks are coming in from here and there.”
“A check?”
“Would you like Pyogu in Hechang or Sangbang? It looks like we have to share the interest.”
“aha!”
Baek Ok-jo gave a supplementary explanation.
“The branch in Hechang opens in three days. Until then, it’s our duty to protect the cow’s side.”
“Then did the three of you leave the main store?”
“that’s right. So Haengsu-nim asked for personal protection, so he came to support.”
“Does it end with just opening the door?”
“Once you officially open your business, then the government department will keep an eye on you, so you can’t do anything recklessly.”
“Before opening?”
“If the person in charge of the branch disappears, the business collapses. I’m just throwing away the money I’ve poured in until then.”
“Wow, is this very important?”
“that’s right.”
“It’s not just three people doing such an important job, right?”
“Whoops! Of course not. There are also many people hired by Haengsu So from Heochang. Don’t you need that kind of manpower to run a branch?”
Il Soo-han added a word.
“Small brothers, we have come to protect you, just in case. Even if you lose money, it’s enough to earn it again, but that’s not the case with runners.”
Only then did he understand the meaning of the words ‘protect So Ji-woong’s gangster’.
‘These were the escorts of the cattlemen.’
I liked the place called Geonwonpyo-guk because they valued the number of people more than money.
“It can’t be that serious. Because things have been going smoothly so far. There were no signs of a crisis. The small brother only needs to follow us well for three days.”
“How much is your daily wage?”
Il Soo-han took a quick look at Yeon Jeok-ha and replied.
“It’s up to the mind of Seo Haeng-soo. It is his right to hire people.”
“yes? Then maybe he won’t hire me?”
“No way. He is recommended by our Cheongju Three Gorges, so we should use it. It’s just that it’s not our right to set a ransom.”
“Ah yes.”
Baek Ok-jo, who had been listening to the ransom, helped.
“Do not worry. We’ll tell you to hit it well. Even though Mr. So is strict, he still listens to us.”
I felt a sense of uneasiness in her words.
I believed it, but if it comes out, it’s because there is no countermeasure.

“I give you fifty doors a day. Accommodation and boarding seems appropriate. How about that?”
Fifty doors in a day is five hundred doors in ten days, fifteen hundred doors in a month. In terms of a hermit, it was like receiving ‘one and a half nyang’ per month, so it was very cheap.
Yeonjeokha looked at the Cheongju Three Gorges with puzzled eyes.
After drinking, I followed them to Cheonji Manor, where the branch was located.
And I met So Ji-ung, the hanger, and he called for fifty doors.
In the case of ordinary ronin, even if it was not a daily wage, they received 100 mun.
If you work like that for a whole month, you will earn three hermits. However, since I forgot about one and a half nyang for food, clothing, and shelter, the actual money in hand is one and a half nyang.
So, it is a business where there is nothing left after fifty gates.
It was fortunate that lodging and meals were provided, but it was a case of much violation of the standard.
‘He said he’s picky, but it’s no joke.’
He looked at So Ji-woong with a new pair of eyes.
It was a look that built a wall with straight eyes, a tough face, and human hair.
‘Three days’ work and one hundred and fifty gates.’
It’s the worst pay I’ve ever received while working as a ronin.
Yeon Jeok-he hesitated, and Zhang Yuan intervened.
“Sir, please use a little more. Don’t the ronin get three hermits a month? Fifty doors is only about half the price.”
“That’s right, those who are good at using swords are like that. Doesn’t this small-sized model look like it’s going to be tight to take care of itself? I’m taking it with me as a folding screen, so 50 doors is enough.”
“Cow servants and ronin receive 100 marks even if they just stand there holding swords.”
“That’s the story when only the ronins were called, and now you’re in the escort of the mark.”
So Ji-woong seemed unwilling to yield.
Yeon Jeok-ha, not wanting to see So Ji-woong and Cheongju Three Gorges scuffle, nodded.
“I will. Wouldn’t it be rude for the walking screen to ask for more?”
It was a sarcastic remark, but So Ji-woong didn’t care and opened the money bag.
“Keon Wonpyo Bureau is clear about the work, so I’ll give you an advance payment. For the next three days, don’t leave the side of Cheongju Three Gorges.”
He gave up his hopes for the enemy and said, ‘Don’t fall away from the Three Gorges of Cheongju’.
In his words, there was even a hint of discomfort about Cheongju Three Gorges.
In fact, So Ji-woong didn’t like the fact that Cheongju Three Gorges brought a man from the street.
‘The branch’s escort and the Cheongju Three Gorges are enough, but I don’t want to know what they’re doing…’
No matter how much you like making friends, it’s not good to attract a new woman right now.
‘Tsk! I can’t tell the difference between construction work at such an important time.’
At least it was the work of the Cheongju Three Gorges, with which I was close, so I just skipped it, otherwise I would have said something.
Zhang Yuan came out of the office of Haengsu So Ji-woong and said with a bitter face.
“I’m sorry about this. I’m not really that kind of a person. It seems that something upset you.”
“are you okay. Still, where is the free room and board?”
In fact, So Ji-woong acted salty, but considering the provision of lodging, it was not something to be angry with.
Cheongju Three Gorges guided Yeonjeokha to the escorts’ quarters and returned.
When Yeonjeokha entered the room, the resting warriors’ eyes focused on them.
one of them asked.
“Who is the little brother? A face I haven’t seen before?”
“I’m asking you to get married. With the introduction of Cheongju Three Gorges, I got to work for three days.”
just as expected?
At the name of Yeonjeok, the escort warriors laughed and said, “Pick.”
Thanks to the recent name of yeonjeokha, dogs and cows are using that name.
“I am Sagangjeong from Jugu. Where did the small size come from? Surely it’s not Obongsan?”
The escorts who had been patient with Sagangjeong’s words burst into laughter.
“Hehe, I’m from Jeongju.”
“Oh Jeong-ju? If so, have you ever seen a Chunjimaeng or a famous religious person?”
“Didn’t you see?”
“this! From now on, if someone asks you, say that you have seen it even if you haven’t seen it. Then you will be treated a little better.”
“is that so?”
“Nothing. It’s a lifelong pride just to see people from afar. I was thinking of going to Jeongju too, but I avoided it because I was afraid that a shrimp would explode in a whale fight. You may not have seen it, but you may have done well.”
Saganjeong gave me sickness and medicine.
Still, thanks to Saganjeong talking to him, he was able to quickly become friendly with the escort warriors he had a rivalry with.
Maybe half an hour (an hour) has passed?
As the conversation faded, Yeonjeokha moved to an empty corner seat.
As I lay down with my backpack on my back, all my thoughts came to mind.
‘Is Yeon-nim doing well?’
‘I’m sure the Namgung family is running around as busy as Geon Won Pyo Guk, right?’
‘Old Sim?’
‘Wol-ah and Geum-ah?’
I fell asleep while thinking about things like dating.
the next morning.
The Three Gorges of Cheongju woke him up from his sound sleep.
From then on, they stuck together all day long, like one body in kinship with the Cheongju Three Gorges.
It was like torture for the younger brother, who was from Green Forest and lived freely.
However, the power of fifty doors per day was great.
He gritted his teeth and endured in silence without showing any signs of difficulty.
But no one sympathized with Yeonjeokha.
Or rather, the people with nothing to do who came and went were envious of his situation.
It’s natural to get paid without doing anything.
Like So Ji-ung’s shadow, he followed him all day.
He even followed So Ji-woong when he went to the backyard.
It was the hardest thing for Yeon Jeok-ha, who was on the verge of success.
It is because of the unbearably thick smell and the clear sound that pierces the eardrums.
Missy Horse (3pm).
Returning to the branch office, So Ji-woong, who had been filling out paperwork for a while, stood up again.
Cheongju Three Gorges and Yeonjeokha, who were waiting by the office, came down to the yard first.
So Ji-ung stood on the floor and looked around at the guards and said.
“There is a meeting of the store owners at Mugok Hut across the river. Too many escorts will make me look frightened, so I’ll only take ten. Choose seven or six, including you, the leader of the company.”
At the end of his words, So Ji-ung glanced at Yeonjeok-ha with disapproving eyes.
It’s because I don’t like the fact that I have to vacate one more seat besides Cheongju Three Gorges.
Saganjeong immediately stepped forward and selected five escorts.
So Ji-woong left the branch with ten escorts, including Cheongju Three Gorges and Yeon Jeok-ha.
Zhang Yuan, who was following So Ji-woong, said.
“Angsoo-nim, it’s a gathering of store owners in this area, so would it be all right with this number?”
It can be said that it is a hostile place because it is a gathering of merchants and store owners based in Heochang.
Going to such a place with only 10 people was truly a feat.
“A conspiracy is something one or two people plot. A place where many people gather is rather safe. They’re trying to use it in reverse to show their boldness.”
“But…”
Zhang Yuan was speechless.
It’s a human thing, no matter where you think it is.
When a large number of people come together, there will always be a great person who can do stupid things casually.
What Zhang Yuan was concerned about was those who were not conscious of the eyes of others.
sub-zero change.
So Ji-woong’s group arrived at the dock.
A ship that looked quite large was waiting at the dock.
Recognizing So Ji-ung, the ship’s owner Jeok Woo-gong welcomed him with a bright smile.
“Welcome, Mr. Cow. I was waiting.”
“Thank you for being so welcoming to the enemy ship owner.”
The two greeted each other lightly and then climbed onto the boat.
After So Ji-ung and the ten escorts boarded the ship, Jeokwoo-gong started the ship.
The atmosphere was friendly until the ship went out to the center of the sub-zero river.
But when the ship reached the center of the river.
Suddenly, the red cow and the boatmen jumped into the river as if they had promised.
