Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 471
Episode 471. Did you give it to Empress Dowager Ten?
Ha Nam.
Namyang.
Dongbaekhyun Baekhwa Sangbang.
mid-April.
There is a saying, “Rumors speak faster than words.”
The story that started in Eungcheonbu soon spread to Namjikryeseong and Henamseong.
When the arks in the upper direction suddenly distanced themselves, Baek Han-saeng, the ark of the upper chamber, hurriedly summoned Baek Il-woong, the acting chief, Baek San-wu, and Baek Seon-hwa, the Sangwol sword of the Middle Yangdaeju.
“Acting Chief: I hear that Mansu and Hwayang have been spreading rumors that we may be closing soon. Is there any problem I’m not aware of? What are you talking about that something happened in Namjiryeseong?”
Baek Il-woong carefully answered the Ark’s question.
“There is nothing to listen to because it is just the noises of the rich people.”
“What kind of luxury is it to say things like that in Mansu and Hwayang?”
“It means that Sangbang Mansu and Sangbang Hwayang are being swayed by the words of the fortune tellers.”
“Please explain in an easy-to-understand way.”
“Hasn’t Geumil Sangbang commissioned us to deliver old books? Going to Ngcheonbu (Nanjing).”
“I’ve been there twice.”
“But it seems that the people who received the old books from Eungcheonbu were killed. As if there was some great conspiracy over that…”
Baek Han-saeng, who was listening, abruptly cut off his words.
“Is the person you did business with dead?”
“I heard that.”
“Because who else died?”
“I handed over the old book to a eunuch named Yu-geun, and Yu-geun gave it to Mo Un-jung, a university teacher… It seems that both Yu-geun and Mo Un-jung are dead.”
“Is there anyone else related to the old books?”
“In Namjikryeseong… none.”
Baek Il-woong briefly thought of the ten warlords, but didn’t say anything.
Even considering the credit of the upper side, the matter had to be carried to the grave.
Moreover, he couldn’t bring Namgung family into such an unpleasant affair.
“That’s why the Mansu Chamber and the Hwayang Chamber spread such rumors. After all, they’re nasty bastards. Every time you see a crack, they try to bite you.”
“Don’t worry too much. That old book isn’t even Moorim’s treasure, so what’s going on? Seonhwa, since you’ve read the old books, tell me. Do you think that is such a great thing?”
Baek Han-saeng looked at his daughter with surprised eyes at Baek Il-woong’s words.
“Did you read the old book?”
“It was just a little bit of confirmation during the process of checking things. It was such an ordinary item that it was not even sealed in the first place?”
“Is it really just a book like that?”
“yes.”
She, too, did not say to her father, ‘I gave a book to Empress Dowager Ten.’
Only then did Baek Han-saeng’s face straighten slightly.
This is because he trusted the words of his cousin, the acting manager, and his daughter.
Just then, the voice of the commander-in-chief came from outside the door.
“Guests have come from the famous bridge of the ark. He wants to see the ark.”
At that moment, Baek Han-saeng and Baek Il-woong, Baek San-woo, and Baek Seon-hwa stood up in a hurry with surprised faces.
It’s because I’ve never been directly to a famous school before.
Baek Han-saeng hurriedly opened the door and came out.
Baek Il-woong and Baek San-wu Baek Seon-hwa followed him without delay.
Baek Han-saeng stood in front of a middle-aged woman holding a pipa and a stout middle-aged man.
The commander-in-chief, who had noticed, introduced Baek Han-saeng to the middle-aged man and woman.
“He is our hundred ark.”
Pipa Seonja (毗婆仙子) and Vajrapani Bodhisattva (金剛菩薩) laughed and said one word at a time.
“I am a non-wrecked man.”
“Geumgang Bodhisattva. Who are the others?”
When Vajrapani Bodhisattva showed interest in the people standing behind Baek Han-saeng, the commander-in-chief hurriedly explained.
“I am Baek Il-woong’s acting chief and the Sangwolgum Daehyeop of Jungyangdaeju and the clerk.”
“If you are the acting chief, Baek Il-woong, is he the one who went up to Namjikryeseong?”
“Yes that’s right.”
“haha. It’s good. It’s good. Even if it wasn’t, I had something to do with Acting Chief Baek.”
Geumgang Bodhisattva, who had been muttering to himself as if talking to himself, suddenly walked to the veranda and sat down at the end.
It’s a natural look as if you came to your own home.
Baek Han-saeng was taken aback by his incomprehensible attitude, but he did not show it and spoke politely.
“I’ll take you inside.”
“It’s okay. Then let’s talk.”
Suddenly, the Vajrapani Bodhisattva nodded to the Pipa Seonja.
As if it had been promised in advance, the bistro soared into the air and disappeared like a ghost.
Geumgang Bodhisattva said to the people of Baekhwa Sangbang who were standing there blankly.
“Why do you think I am here?”
Baek Han-saeng stepped forward cautiously on behalf of the people.
“If there is anything you want from us, we will take care of it first.”
He believed that the Eight Emperors had visited for some kind of deal.
Geumgang Bodhisattva looked at Baek Hansaeng with a funny face.
“That sounds natural. But do you know what I want?”
“I do not know. If you tell us, we will do our best to make it ‘as it is’.”
He put his strength into ‘as much as possible’.
He showed his will to ‘because it’s a famous religious order, so I’ll do it unconditionally’.
In an instant, the corners of Geumgang Bodhisattva’s mouth rose slightly.
Embarrassed by the opponent’s ridicule, Baek Han-saeng didn’t know what to do and just blinked his eyes.
“Is this because the ark doesn’t know? If you are the acting manager, you will understand, right? The reason why our Eight Emperors came to Baekhwa Sangbang.”
“I don’t know either. Please teach me.”
At that moment, the sound of ‘ding ding’ was heard from afar.
Along with the sound of the pipa, the eyes of Vajrapani Bodhisattva also cooled down.
“Businessmen have a bad habit. They think they know people and are over their heads. Do you think I’ll believe you if I say I don’t know?”
Geumgang Bodhisattva’s words became shorter before he knew it. As he spewed out the lifeblood, the people in the department store staggered as they felt their breath tighten.
In the meantime, Baek Han-saeng urgently shouted.
“Hey! old man! I really don’t know what’s going on, so please tell me! If we do anything wrong, we will pay back ten times a hundredfold!”
Vajrapani Bodhisattva said, reaping his life.
“I will give you one last chance, so think carefully before answering. Sangbang Geumil sent the master’s old book to Eungcheonbu by mistake. I’m talking about the old book that you handed over to the eunuchs. Those who went to Ngcheonbu, get out of the way.”
Baek Il-woong, Baek San-woo, Baek Seon-hwa moved to the side with a pale face.
“Who stole the old books?”
Baek Il-woong hurriedly answered Vajrapani’s question.
“I don’t know who framed the elders, but we didn’t steal the old books.”
He misunderstood that the false rumors of Mansu Sangbang and Hwayang Sangbang flowed into the Eight Emperors.
Then the Vajrapani Bodhisattva clicked his tongue and said.
“Tsk tsk! These are great people who won’t listen to words. You’re going to shed tears when you see the coffin, right?”
At that moment, people rushed from the main house.
No, to be exact, he drove the housekeepers of the white shop like a pipa-wrecked man herding sheep.
After a while, the merchant and his family knelt down in the front yard of the office.
Vajrapani Bodhisattva briefly told the Pipa Seonja who had rejoined him what had happened so far.
“…I guess they didn’t steal the old books until the end. I don’t know if he’s doing that to enjoy a movie of wealth and honor. It sounds like you need the help of the sage. How is it?”
“I do. Because I like neat things too.”
When the pipa teacher lightly stroked the pipa with his fingertips, a clear sound came out, saying ‘Tiri-ring’.
Baek Han-saeng and Baek Il-woong, Baek San-wu, Baek Seon-hwa, didn’t know what they were talking about, so they just stared blankly.
On the other hand, the family members who came out of the main house shivered with white faces.
Vajrapani Bodhisattva looked at Baek Il-woong and said,
“A mothership? You didn’t steal the old book? Are you sure?”
“That’s right.”
At the same time as Baek Il-woong’s words, the puppeteer plucked the strings.
ding-.
At that moment, the head of the woman who was sitting at the very front exploded with a ‘pop’.
A strange silence swept through the yard.
A moan escaped from Baek Han-saeng and his party, but the other family members did not even breathe.
This is because it has already been seen countless times in the main house.
Belatedly, Baek Han-saeng realized the meaning of the pipa sound he heard earlier and trembled.
“I don’t know what kind of misunderstanding you are, but…”
“Misunderstanding? Ha ha ha! Do you see us as people who will move because of a misunderstanding or something?”
It’s a strangely confident attitude.
Surprised, Baek Han-saeng hurriedly turned his attention to the acting chief, Jungyangdaeju, and his daughter.
“you! Did you hide something from me?”
“doesn’t exist!”
“no!”
Baek Il-woong and Baek San-woo firmly denied it.
However, Baek Seon-hwa, standing next to them, bit her lip with a pale face.
Unlike her seasoned uncles, Baek Seon-hwa, who lacked experience, hesitated in front of the deaths of her family members.
Seeing her expression like that, a flash of light flashed in the eyes of the eight emperors.
Baek Han-saeng also sensed something was wrong from her daughter’s expression.
“Sunhwa, what’s going on? Be honest.”
Baek Seon-hwa, unable to withstand the pressure, lowered her head.
‘I can’t stand it any longer.’
If you had to choose between Namgung Se and Myung-gyo, anyone would choose Myung-gyo.
“Actually, I gave some of the old books to Empress Dowager Ten as a gift. I didn’t know that it belonged to a famous religious leader. I thought it was simply a book sent to the king…”
“Why! Why would you do that! Baek Il-woong Baek San-wu Did you know?”
Baek Il-woong and Baek San-woo’s shoulders drooped.
“It’s all my fault. Uncles are not guilty.”
“Why did you put your hands on the things of today? My older sister taught me that trust is the most important asset, but would you do something like that just because you lost ‘okju’ and ‘dangsamchae’?”
“It’s not just about that. Actually, on the way up, I made a mistake with the green forest practitioner. I didn’t know who he was, treated him carelessly, and eventually kicked him out.”
Baek San-woo, the head of Chungyang Daeju, who had been listening quietly, belatedly confessed his mistake.
“Actually, the ark, I also sinned against the practitioner. I tried to kill him with my subordinates.”
“…”
Baek Han-saeng shouted at the sound like thunder from the sky.
“What the hell are you talking about! Why are you trying to kill Yeon Gong?”
“It was because he was so suspicious and concerned that he was being followed. It wasn’t until I arrived at the Namgung family that I realized that he was Nokrim’s rival.”
Hwaryongjeomjeong (畵龍點睛) was filmed by Baek Il-woong, the acting chief.
“ha! Lord, everything is my fault. It was not because of ‘Okju’ and ‘Dangsamchae’ that the Namgung family banned Baekhwa Sangbang from entering Hebi. It was because Empress Dowager Ten was angered by the matter of the practitioner. I am the one who ordered Seonhwa to send the book as a gift to Empress Dowager Ten.”
“You all cheated on me.”
Baek Han-saeng, who was staggering by holding the back of his neck at the sudden shock, collapsed to his knees.
As the embarrassing secret was revealed, the department store fell into silence.
Geumgang Bodhisattva frowned.
“You gave the old book to Empress Dowager Ten?”
Baek Seon-hwa looked at him and said.
“Not all of them, but only three of them. Buy the missing three books from the old bookstore in Eungcheon-bu…”
“Have you filled them in?”
“…yes.”
“Any books you copied separately?”
“no. Not only us, but other upper chambers don’t copy all of them as ‘old books’. I don’t know if it’s something with commercial value, like martial arts books or famous scriptures.”
“So, are the three books you gave as a gift to Empress Dowager Ten?”
“Yes, I can vouch for that with my life.”
The Vajrapani Bodhisattva, who got up from his seat, asked the Pipa Seonja.
“I guess so. Trust us that you risk your life to guarantee it. What do you think?”
“I don’t think it’s a lie. Just finish this.”
“Okay. You’ve worked hard before, so I’ll clean it up here. Help only the fleeing ones.”
After he finished speaking, he jumped at the people of the department store.
Then the ruthless slaughter began.
Baek San-wu, the head of Chuyangdaeju, couldn’t take a second from him, and his face was sunken.
When people ran away from Geumgang Bodhisattva, the sound of the lute resonated, and every time, without fail, their heads exploded.
Ting Ting-.
After a while, the pipa stopped.
Geumgang Bodhisattva, who was wiping off the blood from both hands, suddenly burst into a sigh.
“Huh! Now what?”
“I think we should go back to Mt. Fungji and discuss this issue.”
Geumgang Bodhisattva nodded.
Since Empress Dowager Ten and the younger brother were married, it was not an easy matter to solve.
