Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 808
Episode 808. It won’t be an accident.
Namgung-yeon, who had been sitting on a chair on the main floor and listening silently, opened her mouth.
“When was the time when the fire broke out in the hut where the farmhouse was located?”
To the sudden question, the Sosamjong gun could not answer right away.
I thought it would end with notification, but the time when the hut caught fire?
“I don’t know exactly, but I know it was around the end of Yushi (7:00 p.m.).”
“What caused the fire?”
“We tentatively concluded that the candle was knocked over.”
“Yeudeung(油燈), not candle? Are the seconds right?”
Namgungyeon looked at Samjong So.
Candles made of wax are precious, so ordinary people do not know them well because of their appearance. Of course, it was not something to be used in a hut on the outskirts of Mt. Cheongseong.
“I said so on the throne.”
“Of course, the fact that he was burned to death in a fire must have been what he said on the throne, right?”
Samjong So realized that this task was not simple at Namgoongyeon’s somewhat sharp question.
However, this time it happened not at Cheonhoso, but at Geumuiwi.
“you’re right. The guard of the Golden Guard, who was in charge of Han So-yang, reported that.”
“If it was the case of the Geumuiwi, the commander would not have conducted a separate investigation into the death of a soju.”
“yes. But it is true that there is a fire.”
“Of course it was. all right. You can stop going back.”
So Samjong quickly turned around.
I don’t know why I’m so scared when I’m surrounded by an army of 5,500 people.
Right now, Namgung-yeon is the same.
He said, ‘You can stop and go back’ as if you were looking after him.
It’s a word that doesn’t fit the situation, but I was happy when I heard it.
As he was about to take a step away, he heard the voice of a young enemy in his ear.
“You’d better hope Han So-jeo died in an accident. If it’s not that, many people will see blood. The one who gave the order, the one who executed it, the one who covered it even after knowing it will all die.”
“…”
He felt a terrifying feeling of death that made his hair stand on end, but Samjong So could not look back.
How could I make eye contact when my limbs are already losing strength just by hearing the word!
He gritted his teeth and took a step back.
At the same time, on the other hand, the military officers of Cheonho-so prayed that they had nothing to do with Han So-yang’s death.
When Cheon Ho-so’s military officer disappeared, Yeon Jeok-ha turned his gaze to Namgung-yeon.
“What do you think, sister? Was Sojeo Han’s death an accident? Or did you kill someone?”
“well. It’s hard to say anything yet, but it won’t be an accident.”
“why?”
“The soldiers of Cheonho-so are weaving a tight siege to the point where one so-jeo can be captured. Besides, it’s early evening when it comes to Yushi, so it’s not even time to sleep. But the fire broke out enough to burn down the hut? Moreover, the hut specially managed by the Geumuiwi? They saw us too softly on the throne of gold. They got used to their power and couldn’t make normal judgments.”
“You mean you killed him on a golden throne?”
“It’s a bit surprising that the Golden Guard used a method that could only be used in Haomen.”
“Why didn’t they force Han Sojeo to the throne?”
“It must be because of you.”
“It’s me?”
“At first, 1,000 people came, and then the first rank was mobilized. After that, we’ll need more troops. To move an army like that, you need a clear justification. For example, you are a traitor of eternity.”
“hmm.”
“But as long as you were being chased for swearing at a famous church, you were only helping Sojeo. Not all high-ranking officials support the famous religion. They may say that you helped with a solution with an agreement. Only one Sojeo in the world can prove that.”
“ah!”
“At first, I would have tried to catch only one sojeo. I did, but things got bigger when you got involved. I need to mobilize a large army to catch you, but the cause is weak to do so.”
“Did you kill Han Sojeo and seal his mouth?”
“It would have been if it hadn’t been an accident. Of course, I’ll have to listen to what the Golden Council said…”
“They’re them.”
Namgung-yeon left some room, but believed that the rival Geumuiwi was the one who did it.
It is because there is no one who can kill Han So-yang in Mt. Cheongseong unless it is Geumuiwi.
***
Mt. Cheongseong.
Wei Commander Barracks.
As soon as he descended the mountain, he ran to the barracks of the commander of Wei.
Liu Yi-geun, who was in the barracks just in time, waited for So Sam-jong’s breath to subside before asking.
“Did your trip go well?”
“Yes, but there is a problem. No, I think there will be a problem.”
“what are you talking about?”
“Nam Goong-yeon doesn’t seem to think of Han So-yang’s death as an accident.”
“Did you ever doubt the golden throne?”
“It looked like that. And… Yeon Jeok-ha said he would kill everyone involved in Han So-yang’s death.”
“Are you going to kill everyone? If it’s what the Golden Guard did, you mean you’re going to kill the Golden Guard?”
“This is what I said after hearing Namgoong-yeon’s words… I’m sure he did.”
“If you kill Geumuiwi, you will become a traitor of eternity… No matter how ruthless a young enemy is, is that really the case?”
“It was difficult to even walk properly because of the life he spewed out. He is more than enough to kill.”
Liu Yi-geun, who was silent for a moment, spoke to So Sam-jong.
“Good work. Please keep the conversation at the villa a secret for the time being.”
“yes.”
Ryu Yi-geun thought hard after sending Samjong So.
‘Namgung-yeon is suspicious of the golden throne…’
Namgung-yeon is a resourceful person enough to be called the ‘Ten Warlords’ in Gangho.
Maybe he killed Han So-yang on the golden chair.
‘The golden chair is dangerous.’
A master of the level that even the first-ranking military of his rivals could not match.
No matter how good Geumuiwi’s inaction is, he cannot be matched.
Thinking that far, Ryu Yi-geun jumped up from his seat.
I’m thinking of giving a tip to the golden chair.
It wouldn’t be a bad idea to take this opportunity to have a gold chair and face cut.
Leaving the barracks, Ryu Yi-geun headed to the place where the golden guards were staying.
***
Mt. Cheongseong.
Golden Guard Barracks.
around noon.
Geumuiwi Cheonho Hashijin and rank commander Ryu Igeun sat face to face.
Ryu Yi-geun’s gaze inadvertently turned to Hasi-jin’s splinted leg.
During the last attack, he was hit by Yeonjeokha and suffered a broken leg.
Anyway, he was lucky.
Other gold chairs had both legs and arms broken.
Hashijin took luck with a slightly awkward face.
“What are you doing?”
“Oh, I have a story to tell you.”
“…”
Ha Ji-jin stared at Ryu Yi-geun as if to say something.
Although Liu Yi-geun, the rank-and-file commander, has a high ranking position, Hasijin was not intimidated in the slightest.
This is because the Geumuiwi is the center of power because it is an institution under the direct control of the emperor.
“Actually, I sent a firearm from the Hwaryongdae to the villa this morning. It was under the pretext of telling the story of Han So-yang’s death, but in reality it was to find out the location of the villa.”
Hashijin slightly narrowed her eyes.
Among the many pretexts, it is because I want to bring the death of Han So-yang with me.
Hashijin openly expressed displeasure at the words that followed.
“I came to visit Ha Cheon-ho because the firearm came back and the words I said were unusual.”
“What did he say?”
“They say Namgoong-yeon seems to suspect Han So-yang’s death.”
Hashi-jin, who became angry at the moment, criticized Ryu Yi-geun in a sharp voice.
“You touched a beehive that was still. Did you have to tell the story of Miss Han So to the royal palace?”
“Since it will be known anyway, I thought it would be better to play. Of course, the purpose was to accurately measure the distance.”
In fact, Ryu Yi-geun was just sorting out the troublesome things.
Thinking it was an accident anyway, he had no hesitation in bringing up Han So-yang’s problem.
Ha Ji-jin also knew his position, so he did not raise the issue any further.
Ryu Yi-geun glanced at Hasi-jin’s complexion before continuing.
“By the way, they say Yeonjeokha warned the firearms of the Hwaryongdae.”
“Warning?”
“I will kill everyone involved in Han So-yang’s death.”
“…”
Hasijin, whose heart was broken, only blinked her eyes.
He was the one who injured the Bukjin warriors and the provincial commander, so it wouldn’t be a big deal to kill the golden guard.
Liu Yi-geun asked cautiously.
“Is there anything I don’t know about Han So-yang’s death?”
“…”
Hashijin’s lips twitched, but she didn’t say anything because it was a confidential matter.
Ryu Yi-geun, who was old, roughly guessed what the situation was and quickly changed the subject.
“Looks like I said something wrong. I fully believe in the words of the golden chair. After three days, when the four sides gather, the kite drop will be over, so don’t worry too much.”
“Actually…”
Ha Ji-jin tried to say something, but Ryu Yi-geun didn’t give him a chance.
“Honestly, I have no interest in Han So-yang’s affairs. The goal of my lieutenant officers and I is only to annihilate the enemy. So, you don’t have to tell me about Han So-yang’s affairs.”
For a moment, Hashijin’s eyes twitched.
The words are plausible, but it seemed that he was afraid of warnings from the enemy and tried to keep his distance.
“Then I’ll be gone.”
Ryu Yi-geun stood up, but Hashi-jin only pretended to stand up with his legs as an excuse.
It is quite disrespectful considering the status of Liu Yi-geun, the commander of the ranks.
However, Ryu Yi-geun left the barracks without even looking at him.
“joy! Like a coward.”
Hashi-jin laughed at Ryu Yi-geun, who ran away at the threat of a rival enemy.
But soon his shoulders drooped.
The master, who could not be defeated even by the ranks of soldiers, declared that he would kill him, so it had to be.
***
After three days.
An army of 22,000 four warriors gathered at Mt. Cheongseong.
Only one hundred artillery pieces were mobilized.
The number of archers was 1,500.
The number of archers, originally 1,200, was hurriedly increased by the provincial commander.
son-in-law’s command barracks.
The huge barracks were crowded with military officers without even a chance to set foot.
Gu Si-woo, the provincial commander, who was sitting in the seat of honor, looked around at the four rank-and-file commanders and the 20-man Jeong Cheon-ho.
I was relieved to see the military officers exuding speculation with their entire bodies.
Siu Gu, whose face was still swollen and full of bruises, raised his hand.
The military officers who were whispering with the people next to them shut their mouths and paid attention to the provincial commander in unison.
“Chiefs, it’s been a while. It’s nice to see you healthy.”
“The general is much better than before…”
One of the rank-and-file commanders blurted out in response.
Originally, I was going to say ‘It looks much better than before’, but now Gu Si-woo couldn’t see it with his eyes open.
With a swollen face and bruises that hadn’t come off yet, he looked like a monster rather than a human.
For an instant, the atmosphere became tense.
Embarrassed military officers looked at Gu Si-woo, but his expression was too swollen to make sense.
To the military officers who were at a loss for what to do, Gu Si-woo spoke in a thick and cracked voice.
“It is a much dirtier situation than before. Everyone knows the situation, right? He is making good use of his position as a cunning and adversarial Murim master, defeating only the commanders of the Geumuiwi and Wiso. Bukjin Musa is still lying in bed. Don’t think it’s someone else’s business. Anything can happen to the chiefs.”
