I Reincarnated as a Legendary Surgeon - Chapter 125
Episode 125. Becoming sworn brothers with Jojo (2)
“I know that what my grandfather is doing at the imperial palace is shit, but what can I do. No matter how much you are your father’s adoptive father, you still can’t stand up to your grandson. is not it?”
Jojo, who was quite drunk, was lamenting his life a little violently with the hwabok and the painter sitting in front of him.
After tomorrow’s inauguration ceremony, they had to return to the imperial palace, so it was like a farewell ceremony.
“I’m afraid the younger ones will hear it.”
Hwabok put on a worried expression, but Jojo didn’t care.
“If you hear shit, tell me to listen. Others look at me and envy me for meeting my grandfather well and getting ahead in the world at a young age and enjoying wealth and fame… but my heart feels stuffy and feels like it’s about to explode. Actually, do you know how happy I was while running the prefecture here in Dongu-hyeon?”
“…..”
“Punish the dishonest, steal the property of the corrupt, appease the falsely accused, reduce excessive taxes, and relieve the poor by releasing the barn of the prefectural office that is about to explode. When I acted properly for the past 3 years, the barons and merchants here complained, but the people danced happily. I was so happy to see the smiles on their faces. It was to the extent that I thought it would be nice to serve here for the rest of my life. By the way… but… without asking for my opinion, my grandfather made me a man of his own will. Now go to the imperial palace… Ehh, the talk got longer as he got drunk. Let’s not make gloomy faces and have a cool drink.”
Cao Cao stopped talking, but both Hwabok and Hwabu knew what he was about to say.
“Your brother.”
The painter listened to Jojo’s complaints and thought that Jojo, who had actually met and had a conversation with Jojo in history, had a very different feeling.
‘They say he’s a goon… Was he a person who loved the people this much?’
Suddenly, I remembered the faces of the people I saw in Donguhyeon.
‘Coming to think of it, they are definitely more lively and bright than the people in other prefectures. The slums in other prefectures were horrendous to see upon opening one’s eyes… but the slums here are different.’
I felt Jojo’s political power.
“By the way, Boo, how have you been these days? I heard that Yeju is called Shinui… Are you deliberately stuck only in Yeju?”
When Jojo spoke up, the painter shrugged slightly.
“Hey, I only see patients every day. Occasionally, I make visits to distant places, but most of the time I only went around Yeju. I’m tired from visiting the house too far.”
“Well, it’s not like that. I heard that the people in my family also received treatment from you and are all in good health. thanks.”
“Haha, where are my brother’s family and my family? Brother In-i and I get along almost like sworn brothers. So, of course, if my older brother’s family members are sick, I’ll set aside ten days and run.”
The fireman trembled slightly excessively.
“Brother-in-law! Come to think of it, I’m also living like a bloody brother, but at this point, let’s make a bloody brother with you too.”
“yes! I mean brother Joe and his sworn brother?”
The fireman was taken aback.
Jojo is now in conflict between justice and blood ties, but later becomes the owner of a country. And again… a person who will kill himself in the future.
As the painter hesitated, Jojo frowned.
“Why don’t you like it? Will In-yi become his brother-in-law and I won’t?”
“Oh no. Hey, it would be nice if someone like Jo hyung-nim was the brother-in-law. By the way, would it be okay for an insignificant member of the council like me to be your brother-in-law?”
“Is there anything to see? you? Puhahaha…. A passing dog must laugh. If you, who are already called the best trust, overtaking the holy water trust, are not insignificant, then who really cares?”
“So, aren’t you a member of parliament?”
“Yes, yes, no one in the world would say yes to you? You deserve the highest respect. In fact, if you were older than me, I would have chased after you, asking you to make me your step-sister. How are you? Will you be my stepsister?”
“yes. Brother Joe. I will take you as my older brother.”
“I really wish you well in the future. Hello.”
“Your lord.”
“Bring the biggest bowl from this Giru right now.”
“yes.”
After a while, a courtesan brought a porcelain bowl the size of a washbasin.
“Let us swear by blood that you and I have become sworn brothers.”
After Jojo pours alcohol into the bowl, he cuts his finger and drips a few drops of blood.
‘I’m a brother-in-law with Joe… It’s something that didn’t exist in the history books. Well, I don’t know if this will be recorded or not, and it has nothing to do with it, but… It feels strange.’
The fireman took a sip of the liquor mixed with the blood of the three people and looked at Jojo, who was drunk.
‘Is there any chance that there will be no death from Joe in the future? Well, people can change as they get older, so it’s not something you can be sure of… Ehh~. Let’s not be vigilant and always keep it in mind.’

Knowing that his mother planned to marry his eldest brother’s wife and go to the wedding, after the inauguration ceremony was over, the painter leisurely wandered around Dongu-hyeon, treating the poor and examining public sentiment.
‘Winter will come soon, but the faces of the poor have no worries… Jo hyung really did a good job.’
The painter thought of Jojo, who returned to the imperial palace after the inauguration ceremony.
The day after they became sworn brothers, Jojo came to his mother and said that he was a new son, and even bowed generously.
On the day Cao Cao left, the residents of Dongu County came like a cloud and surrounded the county building, mourning.
Seeing that, the painter completely changed his evaluation of Jojo.
‘I can’t believe that Hyung Jo managed the prefecture so well that he could not be compared with the previous prefectures…’
“Master.”
At that time, Obo called the fireman.
“Why?”
“Someone came from a place called Unga Sangdan.”
“Upper Unga.”
The fireman looked slightly surprised at the men who were making their way through the poor.
‘Isn’t it the leader of the noble families of Dongu-hyeon if it is the Unga Merchant? I know it’s a place that supplies various items to the imperial family… but what’s going on?’
The fireman had seen the family head of the top of the Yunga at his brother’s inauguration ceremony.
At that time, Jojo explained to the fireman what the Unga Merchant was like.
‘Joe told me to be careful because the top of the cloud is a predatory beast with hidden claws, so if it shows weakness, it can bite.’
The painter greeted the opponent, keeping Jojo’s words in mind.
“Are you a member of the Hwabu Council?”
“Yes, I am angry.”
“I am Unhu, the Vice-General of the Unga Merchant. Our little boy has a slight injury to his leg, please come and treat it.”
“Right now, as you can see, there are patients waiting in line for treatment, so visiting is a little difficult. It’s hard work, but bring it to me and I’ll treat you.”
Warak.
For a moment, the deputy governor’s face frowned.
“The small boy at the top of the Grand Unga is injured.”
The fireman looked at him silently.
As I have experienced many times so far, a strong house also has power. The painter felt a little bad at that proud expression, but he just sighed and gave up.
Originally, this is the world.
“If you are in a hurry, call another doctor and get treatment. As you can see, I can’t afford it.”
“her! Congressman. I came here on purpose because I am also the younger brother of the newly appointed Hyeonryeongnim. Even if it’s hard work, please look after me and visit me.”
The fireman looked at the deputy commander with a slightly bewildered expression.
It’s the first time I see you today, but I want you to visit me after seeing your own face.
It is not the face of the Vice-Chancellor, but the face of the Unga troupe to which the Vice-Chancellor belongs.
‘Will they accept it? No, let’s wait for once. It’s been a while since my brother took over and he’s maintained a good relationship with Joe… Let’s be patient with him for once.’
The fireman suppressed the rising fire and opened his mouth with a nonchalant expression as much as possible.
“As you can see, there are many patients who need my help. So please kindly understand.”
“Even though I can call many competent lawmakers, the reason I came here on purpose is purely for the sake of saving face, Mr. Hyeonryeong. But you treat me so badly.”
“It’s not that I’m being mean to you, I’m asking you to consider my situation. Then I’m busy…”
The fireman turned his attention to the deputy general and focused on the patient’s treatment.
The deputy commander-in-chief looked at the fireman with all sorts of strange expressions, then went back with a snort that made him laugh.
‘Wherever I go, there’s always one or two of these guys. Tsk.’
I put up with it once because I thought of my brother and Jojo’s face, but it seemed like something similar would happen again.
The second one had to be qualified in order not to put up with it.
The painter thought about the shea sapae in his arms for a moment, but soon his thoughts went to the other side.
‘Seaosapae is used at the end of the day when there is no way to help it… First of all, I need to create a force that can become an ally to my brother.’
After organizing his thoughts for a while, the painter called for Seokjin.
Seokjin was the person Bishop Myeongil of Yeju assigned to the painter as a liaison and escort.
“Did you call? Mr. Hwabu.”
“Please ask Bishop Myeongil to come here.”
“The Bishop? Maybe it’s because of something…”
Seokjin put on a slightly puzzled expression. The distance between Donguhyeon and Yeju was so far that it would take five days to run on horseback.
The fireman is telling a person from that distance as if to call someone from a neighboring village.
“As for the matter, I will tell Bishop Myeongil directly.”
However, the painter cut off his words, not paying attention to Seokjin’s embarrassment.
“I see.”
* * *
‘What?’
The painter looked at Unhu, the deputy commander of the Unga Company, who reappeared with a slightly incomprehensible expression.
Unhu brought the boy who had injured his leg in a carriage and came back.
“As Congressman Hwabu wished, I brought the boy.”
“You should have just called another clinic to get treatment.”
“I heard that Hwabu’s medical skills are excellent. That’s why I brought the young master on purpose.”
For some reason, the deputy governor’s tone had changed considerably.
When the deputy governor nodded, the servants carried a young man who seemed to be about the same age as the painter on a stretcher.
‘He said he was a young boy… Isn’t that enough to call him a minor? He looks about the same age as me.’
The fireman was a little embarrassed, but he looked at the man without expressing himself.
“How did you get hurt?”
The fireman first removed the bandage from the man’s leg.
‘This… looks like you’ve already been treated?’
“I sprained my ankle and fell…”
“It’s done. I’ll tell you myself, so stay still, Deputy Governor.”
The young boy raised his hand to cover the deputy commander’s mouth and glanced up and down the fireman.
“Are you the Hyeon-ryeong’s younger brother, a member of the Hwabu council?”
Crying.
For a moment, the painter’s expression frowned.
‘Is this a cheap thing?’
“I am lucky.”
A cold sound escaped from the fireman’s mouth.
“I am a fireman.”
“You don’t know what’s going on? Well, it’s pretty strong. Anyway, is it Hyeon-ryeong’s younger brother?”
Unhwan was making the fireman’s stomach boil as if he had made up his mind.
“…..”
The painter looked at him without saying anything, and Woon-hwan smiled and continued.
“I remember drinking and sleeping in the kitchen yesterday, but in the morning, no, it’s not breakfast. When I woke up in the afternoon, my feet were bandaged. It was so ridiculous that I slapped the girl on the cheek and came out… It’s not easy to walk.”
Unhwan stretched out his foot toward the fireman.
The painter looked at Unhwan’s feet and then looked at Unhwan again.
“so.”
“What is that? I heard the story, so now I have to treat it.”
“The treatment has already ended and there is nothing I can do. So stop going.”
“Why are you so proud of yourself? But you are a doctor and I am a patient who came to be treated.”
“No, my pride is too lofty to be hurt by just this level of provocation. It literally means to stop because there is no need for treatment.”
“I decide if I get treatment or not. And I told you to come if you want to be healed by your mouth. So you should at least pretend to treat him. is not it?”
“What the heck, I ate it…”
At that time, Jang-goe got angry and tried to intervene.
The fireman blocked the device with his hand and opened his mouth to Unhwan.
“I heard and saw it. Anyway, I told you to come if I want to be healed. ok let me treat you Instead, don’t be surprised by the cost of treatment.”
“I have a lot of money, so treat yourself well.”
“I get it.”
The fireman unwrapped the bandage he was about to re-wrap, inspected the wound, disinfected it, and took out a long needle.
When the painter connected the needle to the bamboo and tried to poke it, Woon-hwan waved his hand in surprise.
“Now wait. What is that?”
