Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 824
Episode 824. how much can i get?
When Yeonjeokha jumped up, Shen Tong quickly changed his words.
“Oops! What are you so surprised about? I was joking.”
“Don’t even joke like that. I’m afraid someone will hear it.”
“Hehe. Confucius, have you become very timid?”
“It’s not timidity, it’s because we’re afraid that we’ll be misunderstood as taking other people’s money and living well.”
Hearing those words, the heartache no longer held on to the horse’s tail.
It is because it is a yoke that people from the green forest have to live with for the rest of their lives.
“Anyway, I need to get some money. Living expenses are also a problem, but shouldn’t we prepare the travel expenses to go back to the Seokgyeongjang?”
“ah! That’s right.”
The spirit of matrimony flashed.
It is full of money to spend on living expenses and travel expenses to return to Seokgyeongjang.
However, since I was out of town, there was nowhere to ask for help right away.
Cheongseongpa is the best for borrowing money, but I didn’t want to say anything bad about it.
“Wouldn’t there be some money gathered at the Gaman Namyeon Inn? You haven’t been paid for two years.”
Approximately 2,800 li (about 1100 kilometers) from Mt. If you use fortune-telling, it only takes two or three days to get there.
“How much did you get at the Namyeon Hotel?”
“They say I lose about two or three nyang a month.”
“Even if you gather three nyang, it’s only seventy-two nyang. After giving money to Mr. Ju and his daughter, it will be the price of renting an annex. I still don’t have enough money to buy food.”
The old heartache was quick to calculate in that direction.
He scratched his longing head.
The people in the outbuildings were solving all three meals a day at the inn restaurant.
That alone is a significant expense.
If the money he received from the Namyeon guesthouse didn’t work, he had to find another way.
“Confucius.”
“why?”
“How about taking care of the other side for a while?”
“Upper?”
Yeon Jeok-ha looked at his heartache with a tempting face.
It was because I recalled the memory of taking care of Sangbang’s business for a while and receiving quite a few hermits.
“Isn’t your mother-in-law going to be at Mt. Cheongseong until spring comes anyway?”
“yes.”
“In the meantime, if you take care of the business of the upper room, you will make a lot of money. What do you think?”
“Well, at the top, it was easy to call 1,000 Nyang or 2,000 Nyang. yes?”
“Because the money on the way up is so big.”
The heartache also matched the rhythm.
I didn’t think deeply about the thin ears.
“Go to Chengdu and find out if there is a boss who can work for a while. Let’s run through the winter.”
“But who works?”
My heartache tried to withdraw a little at the sound of ‘winter season’.
It is natural that no one wants to work outside in the middle of winter.
“Who is who? Are there any of us other than me and Old Sim who can do that? If you send the old man away, you might end up with a bone disease and end up paying more money.”
“Gongja-nim is older than I am.”
“Instead, your body is strong.”
“I also have a different body yesterday and a different one today.”
“Then, as the head of the household, are you telling me to go out alone and do the last job? Without anyone to wait on you?”
“If you know who Confucius is, the upper ranks will take care of you and serve you well.”
“get out.”
“yes?”
“Go out if you want to play and eat without lifting a finger. I can’t see that.”
“Confucius-nim, I didn’t mean to say this, but I’m old now… My bones get sore from the cold wind.”
“So get out. let’s not see each other You just don’t have to see it in my eyes. Then I won’t say anything even if I lie in the corner of the room until the mold grows.”
When it seemed that Yeonjeokha would not look at it at all, Simtong let out a sigh.
“ha! All right. I will take Confucius with me even if my bones are brittle.”
“It sounds like bone grinding. Will the body, which is invulnerable to cold and flu, lose its bones in this cold? It would be much better than lounging around in an outbuilding, so why are you complaining so much?”
Then, a heartache hit me in the chest and said with a pitiful face.
“The bones of the heart are invulnerable and have nothing to do with it.”
“It’s because it’s hostile. It just makes me feel better when I walk around.”
“Yes yes. I will work hard through the winter to help Confucius. But I can spend the money I earn, right?”
“That’s natural. Do I look like someone who has an eye for old Sim’s money? I am not that kind of person.”
“All right. Hearing those words gives me a bit of energy.”
“Then hurry up and find a job.”
“Confucius-nim needs some help.”
“What help?”
“Wouldn’t it take two days to go to Chengdu on my own? Time is running out, so can we blow it for two days?”
“You want me to take you to fortune telling?”
“yes.”
I frowned at my arrogance in the annoyance of dating.
However, as Simtong said, I couldn’t just pass the two days.
“Okay let’s go. go.”
When Yeonjeokha grumbled and went down to the yard, heartache followed suit.
***
Sichuan Province.
Saint.
It was cold enough to sting the skin from the cold wind, but the streets were crowded with people.
Like a person from the village, the heartache of walking with his head turned around pointed to one place.
“Gongja-nim, the signboards up there are gathering.”
His gaze followed the finger of the heartache.
It’s not that it’s not, but the signboard called Geumsangbang (今人商幫) caught my eye.
Seeing that many people came and went even in this cold weather, it seemed like a famous store.
The two diligently walked toward the golden statue.
The gate was wide open, so it was not difficult to get inside.
But I was at a loss as to who to go to.
Someone came up behind the two of them standing with a puzzled look on their faces and started talking to them.
“What did you come for?”
Yeonjeokha and Shimtong turned around with happy faces.
Hwang-gyu, the clerk of the Golden Shop, stared at the unfamiliar old man and young man.
‘These are the faces I’ve never seen before.’
The color was fine, but Hwang-gyu looked at it keenly.
This is because there is no one who visits Sangbang this winter without a story.
Instead of Yeonjeokha, a heartache came out.
“Is this the upper room where the merchants are gathered?”
“…”
Hwang-gyu was speechless at the absurd question.
It was the first time such a question had been asked since the Gold Seal Shop opened in Chengdu.
“Didn’t you see the signboard that said ‘Golden Imprint’ before you came in? What the old man said is correct. This place is other than the Gold Shop, one of the top 10 stores on the continent. What did you come for?”
Hwang-gyu trembled at the old man’s brazenness, but he did not lose his politeness like a person with thick bones from above.
“I came to meet your ark. Guide him.”
In an instant, Hwanggyu’s eyebrows twitched.
In order to meet the Ark of the Ten Commandments, Seongju must also make a reservation.
But, wanderers who don’t even know what it is like come and guide the ark?
“I don’t know what your business is, but if you want to meet the ark, you need to make an appointment first. If you could tell me where you are and what’s going on…”
Hwang-gyu’s words were interrupted by an impatient heartache.
“I call Gucheonnodo heartache. And this is Namcheon Daehyeop. Guide them to the ark.”
“Hut!”
Hwang-gyu exclaimed involuntarily and hurriedly tightened his waist.
“Welcome! I’ve heard a lot of words. The small man will take you to the ark.”
Even if it is an ark in the upper direction, it is nothing more than dust in front of the names of Gucheonnodo and Namcheon.
In particular, Namcheon is the second best green forest.
Hwang-gyu did not dare to raise his head, as the Golden Shop had to be closed that day if he escaped his eyes.
Hwanggyu took the two to the Tenbanggak (十方閣).
Arriving at Sipbanggak after a while, he said, ‘Namcheon Daehyeop and Gucheonnodo have come to meet the ark’.
As soon as he finished his words, Jangyang Ark came running barefoot.
Zhang Yang, who brought the two inside, sat down with Yan Zhihe at the top table, and herself at the bottom, next to Shen Tong.
“Namcheon Grand Gorge. What are you doing to this filthy place?”
He knew in detail what Yeon Jeok-ha had done in Mt.
Since he is a person who does not even care about the Golden Guard and the provincial commander, he will regard the ark in the upper direction as if it were the life of a fly.
Thinking so, Zhang Yang treated Yeon Jeok-ha as if his dead ancestors had lived on.
He spoke candidly about his situation.
“…But I didn’t know that the money ran out. If Old Sim hadn’t taught me earlier, I wouldn’t have known it all along. I came to the ark because I needed money.”
Jangyang looked at Yeonjeokha with a face as if she was laughing or crying.
I know it’s shameless because I’m from Green Forest, but I never thought I’d ask for money so blatantly!
I didn’t lift a knife, but this was no different from a robbery.
Zhang Yang’s teeth were grinding, but he didn’t lose his smile.
no i tried
It’s because, in the unlikely event that a rival enemy pulls out a sword, the sword of hell will unfold.
“I have to give it. Just tell me how much you need.”
An unexpected story came to him who was waiting with an empty mind.
“So, I thought I’d help out with the work of the upper side during the winter. Not alone, me and old Sim. I’ve helped the other side a few times before. How much did old Sim get paid then?”
“I got quite a bit.”
The old heart pain didn’t say the exact amount.
It is because of the expectation that the gold merchant may give more than that.
Zhang Yang looked at Lian Zhihe with absurd eyes.
Are you helping the upper side?
He wondered if what he had heard was correct.
“Come on, Namcheon Daehyeop. Is it true that you said you would help with the work of the upper side during the winter now?”
“yes. You have to work to get money. Greening, which seems to be playing and eating every day, also works… Oh, for example. It’s not that I’m green. As you know well, you have to go hiking in the green forest to make money.”
I was embarrassed when the story of Green Forest, which I wanted to avoid having a rivalry, kept coming up.
What I was trying to say was ‘you have to work to make money’, but I don’t know why the rust keeps coming out.
Jang Yang, who had been listening to the wind, was confused whether Yeon Jeok-ha was genuinely willing to help or threatened.
“The work to be done upstairs has been decided. I’m going to go up to the tajiro with the company. In the case of our gold store, we bring and sell silk tea, lacquerware, camellia oil, etc. to the opening to make a profit. It’s a street where you have to drag a wagon and go through the cold and the rust for a full month.”
He was about to say, ‘I have to fight the cold and the greenery,’ but hurriedly evaded his words.
It was because he thought it was not something to say in front of Yeon Jeok-ha, the general patrol of Green Forest.
He nodded his head because he had the experience of robbing the top of the mountain in the winter – during the past when he was in Obongsan.
“Is it okay if I escort the top until the opening? How much can I get?”
Zhang Yang widened his eyes.
In this cold winter, Namcheon Yeonjeokhe and Gucheonnodo Simtong will escort you to the opening?
‘Are you serious?’
Zhang Yang asked in a trembling voice.
“Are you really going to escort our corps to the opening of Namcheon Daehyeop?”
“Because it is. Our top escort has done it many times. Old Sim, say something. Didn’t you escort us a lot?”
“It was. Did you say Zhang Yang?”
“yes.”
“Confucius Yan and I escorted the upper tier several times after coming down from the mountain. I’m not just saying this, so tell Gongja-nim how much you can give him.”
“Ah…”
Only then did Jangyang realize that all of these were not empty words.
Namcheon Daehyup, who is said to be on par with the ten greatest masters in the world, and Gucheonnodo, known as his family member, are hired as escorts for the upper ranks!
