Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 337

Episode 337. Wind-driven clouds cover the sun.

Mugok Sanjang is the manor of Jeokyeomsinjang Sugeumseo, the most wealthy person in Heochang.

Susimgak is the largest and most splendid among dozens of palaces in the manor.

About 30 guests were comfortably sitting around and drinking.

All of them are top-notch merchants in Xuchang. While laughing and talking with nonchalant faces, they glanced at the elongated person.

The person who is receiving the attention of the merchants is So Ji-ung of the Geonwonpyo country.

The owner of Yeongha Daegok (板河大曲), which produces alcoholic beverages, spoke to So Ji-woong.

“Cow attendant, you took a difficult step.”

The public servant thought that this position was not comfortable for So Ji-woong, so he greeted him like that.

For a moment, So Ji-woong looked at his opponent with strange eyes.

I couldn’t tell just by looking at his expression, whether he knew what he was saying or if he was saying it out of politeness.

“Yes, it certainly wasn’t an easy road to come.”

It was really difficult, as even Haomun was pointed at Haebang.

The co-student showed a generous smile.

Since Yeongha Daegok often uses Geonwon Pyo-guk, it was rather nice to have a branch.

“Nice to meet you though. Wherever you go, there is bound to be some territorial attitude, isn’t it?”

At the word territorial, So Ji-woong laughed.

The kingdom of Ilpyo went too far to be called a territorial power. Holding a knife to one’s throat is not territorial, it is war.

Just then, Su Geum-seo, the owner of Mugok Lodge, and Wang In-guk, the owner of Geum Ilpyo Guk, entered.

Merchants who had been drinking hurriedly got up and greeted the collector.

Su Geum-seo and Wang In-guk, who were greeted and walked to the table of honor, paused in front of So Ji-ung.

The collector said with a big smile.

“Huh, haengsu-nim, you are welcome. You have come a long way, so please enjoy it comfortably before you go.”

So Ji-Woong’s eyes twitched.

For some reason, it sounded like ‘Go back to Namjikryeseong’.

So Ji-woong tried to calmly accept it.

“Now that we live in the same area, we will see each other often.”

Then Wang In-guk sneakily intervened.

“You’ll know when you see it. Do you actually return to the same area? Anyway, welcome. Today, let’s drink to the point of getting drunk with sub-zero grains grown in Heochang.”

“well. I want to do that too, but I don’t have the confidence to drink so much today. On my way back, I met Hae Sabang and Hao Mun, and I died and came back to life.”

So Ji-woong gazed intently at Wang In-guk.

Then Wang In-guk said with an ignorant face.

“Oops! Do you already know how long you have been in Heochang? Gold Ark or Dan Moonju are not people who will fight easily. Does it look like it worked out well though?”

“Recently, I was lucky enough to bring in a top-notch ronin. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t be able to attend this event. A golden ark or a sweet moon…”

“Oh! You’re a top notch nerd! It’s the first time I’ve heard that there is a top-class ronin in Heochang. Could you introduce me to widen my eyes?”

This time, Su Geum-seo cut off So Ji-woong’s words.

At the mention of a top-notch ronin, the merchants made a fuss.

They also employ ronin, but the superlative is because I’ve never seen one.

It was surprising that a small town like Hechang had top-notch ronin.

So Ji-woong, who lost the opportunity to argue with Wang In-guk, said with a confused face.

“This is Yeonjeokha Sohyup from Jeongju.”

The word ‘Yeonjeokha’ opened the eyes of the collector.

“Did you tell me to start dating now? Are you a green forest patrol enemy?”

“no. They’re just people with the same name. Would you like to use the Green Forest General Patrol as an escort?”

“ah! I guess I wish I could see his face at least once…”

The collection officer looked around at Susimgak.

It seemed that his eyes were trying to find Yeonjeokha.

“He is now waiting in the yard with Cheongju Three Gorges. They said they couldn’t send escorts into the palace.”

“ah! Then the old man is done.”

When Yeon Jeok-ha was in the yard, Su Geum-seo passed So Ji-ung without regret.

Before he knew it, Wang Inguk also took a seat in an empty seat nearby.

So Ji-woong, who suddenly lost his conversation partner, stood in a daze and collapsed helplessly.

In the seat next to me, the owner of Yeongha Daegok, a co-worker, said something.

So Ji-woong answered in a half-hearted way and looked alternately at the collection desk and Wang In-guk.

The relationship between the two was questionable.

If Wanginguk did it alone, there would be no further development.

But what if the bill of collection was also involved?

A sudden chill and shudder arose.

If even the richest person in Heochang had joined, it might not end with Hae Sabang and Hao Mun.

‘Huh! It’s because it’s so difficult to bet a single point.’

I thought resistance would be light since it was a small city, but the backlash from Heochang Sanggye was beyond imagination.

The way back after dinner was comfortable.

It was as if Haeshabang and Haomen were the last gateways, and there was no one to see eye to eye anymore.

As soon as So Ji-ung returned to the manor of Cheonji, he paid Yeon Jeok-ha a hermit of 130 nyang.

The one hundred and fifty doors given earlier were not mentioned.

It was an insignificant amount, but I was ashamed to mention it.

***

Next day.

So Ji-ung, who felt the crisis, did not leave Cheonji Manor all day.

It was because they didn’t know what would happen if Wanginguk and the collection agency joined hands.

There are not only the best ronin in the world.

If they hire the best ronin and mobilize one or two waves again, they will die.

When I thought so, I couldn’t go outside.

Thanks to this, Yeon Jeok-ha and Cheongju Three Gorges had to sit around in the manor of heaven and earth.

Yeonjeokha muttered, sitting in the shade under the eaves of the palace overlooking the office.

“Hey, are you feeling sorry for playing like this and spending 10 hermits a day?”

Then, Il Soo-han straightened up.

“Oops! Yeon Sohyeop Don’t talk like that. It’s better not to have anything happen. It’s really not common for people who come for small cooperatives. I’m scared just thinking about it. That would be really terrible.”

There was some truth in his words, so he didn’t refute.

If you say, ‘All you have to do is be a top 10 master,’ you’ll look like a foolish person.

Baek Ok-jo also helped.

“That’s what the second older brother said. Even though he knew that Yeon Sohyeop was by his side, he would have prepared for it when he came. I really don’t want to think about that. I hope tomorrow will be as peaceful as today.”

Even those who made a name for themselves as knights in Namjikryeseong were afraid of fighting.

He nodded his head, blaming his own stupidity for saying it without thinking.

After hearing the words of the two, my apologetic heart completely disappeared.

Suddenly, I saw my own arrogance.

Do you think it’s okay if your opponent is only a master in the 100s?

It seems that the water from the green forest has seeped into his bones.

He hates the greenery, but he lives like the greenery, so there is no such hypocrisy.

‘Tsk tsk!’

Rebuking himself for being a rival, he tapped his head ‘tuk-tuk-tuk’.

It was best to be peaceful even if you received a hundred nyang instead of ten nyang a day.

Once again, I think the Cheongju Three Gorges are great.

They became famous for slaying the wicked, but they fear the fight itself.

However, when they fought against the maritime authorities, they did not hesitate at all.

Even when Hao Mun rushed at him, he was confident.

Looking back, Namgungcheon and Namgungyeon’s brother and sister, as well as Seol Chasu, Yoo Geunshik and Jinseolha were like that.

Neither of them liked to fight, but when they had to fight, they did not back down.

I was taught that political parties are hypocrites, but not all are hypocrites.

As if not all people in Sapa were evil.

I leaned my back on the pavilion where we were fighting and lay down at an angle.

Fluffy clouds were floating in the far blue sky.

‘Feel so good!’

I wish the two days would pass like this.

Then the wind-driven clouds covered the sun.

***

Liuwangchae Village.

A middle-aged man in his 40s appeared in a small village half an hour’s drive away from Boss Village.

Haebangbang, Ark, and Chwiilbae.

After passing through the village and going to the riverside, he stopped in front of a collapsed abandoned house.

“Are you there?”

At his polite call, the old door opened with a ‘crackling’ sound.

“A golden ark?”

An elderly man stuck out his face and covered himself.

It was a dream of three treasures.

“Yes, sir. Have you been doing anything in the meantime?”

Tang Yun-mang, who stood up and walked outside, asked softly.

“Why did the ark, who was busy, come to this tomb?”

“haha! It’s trash. Shouldn’t you soon come out to the world too?”

“That’s because it doesn’t work.”

“Are you still able to work?”

“Nothing. If I can’t work, I have to dig in the ground and lie down. What is it?”

After Geumbulwi looked around, he said quietly.

“It costs 2,500 nyang.”

“omg!”

Tang Yun-mang looked at the golden Buddha with surprised eyes.

It was a huge amount of money that I had never received even when I was working outside the Tang family.

“What is it?”

“It’s not complicated. You just need to stop the Kunwonpyo Bureau from trying to branch out in Heochang.”

“What if the person in charge of the matter disappears?”

“There are four ronin he hired. Five, including the person in charge and them.”

“A rongin? Why didn’t the maritime department deal with it? No, the wages are high for something like that. What kind of ronin are you that your life is so expensive?”

“I’m a romantic who wants to be in a relationship with the Cheongju Three Gorges.”

“Like? Are you sure you are talking about the green forest?”

“It can’t be. This is a person with the same name who has nothing to do with Green Forest. The atmosphere seemed to be impersonating names. There are a lot of guys who use that name these days.”

“Sorry. It would have been better if I had been a concubine of Green Forest.”

“Still, he is a top-notch ronin who broke the neck of Ilsim Hwa-chwi in a matter of days. I saw him using a sword, and it was terrifying. There was no one who could withstand the sword.”

“Ohh. That should be enough. Who are the Cheongju Three Gorges?”

“These are the ones who obtained the contract from the Namjiryeseong Cheongju Department, but they are second-rate, so you don’t have to worry about them.”

“If they are second-class, they must be people who have nothing to do with the Chilpa clan or the four generations.”

As if Tang Yun-mang confirmed it, he stared at the golden Buddha.

Chilpamun and the four generations were not allowed to enter the gate unless they were at the first-class level.

Still, just in case you don’t know, you’re going to ask about your origin.

Of course, it’s because I don’t want to make a wish with a disciple of the chilpa family or the four generations.

If you touch them, you will have to hide for the rest of your life.

“no. These are the ones who became famous for beating up barbers and petty thieves. It is different from the Chilpamun and Ganghohaeng of the four generations.”

“Having a relationship?”

“It is said that he also learned home appliance martial arts.”

Only then did a satisfied smile appear on Dan Yun-man’s face.

Those without a back stomach were equal to rice, regardless of martial arts.

“Don’t let it take over. By when can we solve it?”

“You have to take care of it by tomorrow at the latest.”

“It’s tight.”

“Because the day after the opening of the Kunwonpyo branch is the day after tomorrow. Once a branch is open, it is not easy to close the door. If it was before that, it would be something that never happened at once.”

“Okay. How much should I give you in commission?”

“Just give me five hundred nyang.”

“Good. go and tell The Konwonpyo Bureau won’t give you a branch, so stretch your feet and sleep.”

“yes.”

“The money is given after the work is done. I want you to put it in my hands the day after tomorrow at the latest. Is it possible?”

“it’s possible. They are people who hoard money.”

“Originally, this kind of work requires an advance payment, but time is running out, so I’ll take care of it first. For you and them, you must keep your promise.”

Tang Yun-mang, along with the horse, pointed to a giant tree by the river.

Surprisingly, the tree, which was fine, shed its thick leaves and soon withered away.

That’s not the end.

The tree melted like candle wax from the top and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

“Have you seen it? Poisoning is like this.”
