Episode 1039 You too will find out. (4)
“Then take a look.”
“Don’t forget.”
The middle-aged man stood up and looked down at the courtroom with cold eyes. But instead of getting angry, the court just smiled.
“We will see how you respond. If your actions do not match your skillful tongue, all the privileges that have been given to you so far will be revoked. no!”
The middle-aged man scolded in a very stern voice.
“You will have to pay a heavy price for the treatment you have received so far. Do you understand what I mean, Ambassador?”
“of course.”
The court responded seriously, but the middle-aged man seemed to be not very trustworthy.
“Don’t forget that the emperor is angry.”
“….”
“You should pray that aging doesn’t turn on you. “A useless strongman is no better than a robber.”
“…Amitabha Buddha.”
When the court stood up, closed its eyes, and spoke to the class, the middle-aged man who had been glaring at her with disapproving eyes turned around.
thud!
The door closed roughly. Only then did a deep sigh escape from the mouth of the court.
I’m sorry.
After a while, the door was carefully opened again and Beopgye came in with a stern expression on his face.
“Bangjang.”
“Come and sit down.”
“yes.”
The court opened its mouth as soon as it sat down.
“What do you say?”
“It’s obvious. “The imperial palace is taking this situation seriously, so they are telling us to punish the cult right now.”
“….”
“If they fail to do so, they will hold us responsible.”
“That’s it…”
The court chuckled as the legal community sighed as if they were shocked. It was a mockery that was somehow unbecoming of a Buddhist.
“The imperial palace is always like this.”
In principle, the country should not be able to ignore the clans, which are groups of warriors. However, in reality, no specific sanctions were imposed on sects such as Shaolin or Shaman.
Because of the principle of non-aggression on official matters?
No way.
Externally, it is said that this is because Gwan and Moorim are not involved with each other, but such a thing cannot be possible. That’s just an excuse the government made up to avoid getting involved in Gangho.
The fundamental reason is that the existence of Gangho Moorim is helpful to them.
When a country stands, it may seem like the imperial palace’s breath can reach every corner of its territory, but in reality, this is not the case. If such a thing were really possible, how would rebellions occur and how would warlords exist?
Moreover, the current imperial palace’s influence is extremely limited south of the Yangtze River and is not complete even north of the Yangtze River. Especially in terms of public security, there are limitations to the government alone.
So from Gwan’s perspective, Kang-ho’s presence is not that bad. At least those who claim to be loyal maintain a level of public order around the sect.
But…
“At times like this, I’m jealous of that Sapaeryeon.”
“Bar manager. “What…”
“Isn’t that so?”
The court laughed softly.
“The one who created the situation like this was the evil cult, and the one who actually did it was the demonic cult, but they are threatening us, who are innocent, to take responsibility for it, right?”
The court hesitated for a moment at the court’s words and then sighed.
The relationship between Gwan and Moorim is always like this. When there is no problem, they treat you like a ruthless robber, and when a problem arises, you are held accountable for everything.
But not Sapa. In the first place, the Sa faction does not have a clear stronghold like the political faction. They are like poisonous mushrooms that bloom in places where the light of the coffin cannot reach.
The Yangtze River is so wide that the navy cannot control every place. Deep in the mountains, difficult to reach by human hands. And Gangnam, where there is an administrative vacuum.
In all of these places, Sapa has grown in power. Unlike the political faction that is located near Beijing and cannot escape the influence of the government.
“If it’s really urgent, wouldn’t it be okay to send Geumgun directly?”
“I hear the movement in the north is unusual.”
“Ah…”
“So it looks like we are not in a situation where we can move Geumgun. It seems that even the gold armies around Beijing are recruiting to the north. “In the meantime, we can’t pay attention to beyond the Yangtze River.”
Beopgye nodded as if he understood the situation.
They say that anger comes all at once, and it seems that the circumstances coincided this way.
“So you threatened us.”
“I guess so.”
The court smiled bitterly. But the legal community still seemed unconvinced.
“If you are going to be so sensitive to Kangho’s situation, wouldn’t it have been better if you had helped when the SPA was called in the first place? “If that had been the case, the situation wouldn’t have come to this point.”
“The Sapaeryan and Demonic Religion seen from the imperial palace are completely different.”
“….”
“No matter how apostolic the Sapaeryeon are, they are people who operate within the rules of power. “Even if that Jang Il-so were to control all of Gangho, would he still dare to aim for the position of emperor?”
The court that asked the question shook its head.
“No matter how ambitious Jang Il-so is, such a thing cannot happen. It is different from a powerhouse that can rule by force alone. “Governing a country is not something people like us can do.”
“Yes, boss.”
“But what about the Demonic Cult?”
The court sighed with stern faces.
“The case of the Demonic Cult is different. They make no distinction between citizens and emperors. Neither the Saga’s laws nor the imperial palace’s policies apply. “The imperial palace must have already painfully experienced that fact a hundred years ago.”
“Hagiya….”
It’s different from Kang-ho, who just treats the past as just the past. Because the imperial palace records everything thoroughly. Records of the rise of Demonicism a hundred years ago will also remain vivid.
“I guess that’s why you’re reacting so strongly.”
The legal world nodded as if it now understood the situation properly.
“What are you going to do?”
“If so, not yet.”
The court shook its head.
“If we are pushed across the river by them, we will have to bear the damage ourselves. “Do you think they care about the damage we’ve done?”
“But if you disobey the imperial palace’s orders, things can get worse.”
The court chuckled.
“No need to worry. “Maybe the author made a mistake because he was in a hurry.”
“Did you say it was a mistake?”
“Didn’t you say that all the gold troops are being sent to the north? Even if we break their orders just a little, they won’t be able to do anything to us for a while.”
“Ah…”
“If you resolve it in time, there will be no need to ask questions about the current situation, so there is no need to be swayed by it.”
The legal world quietly nodded. But there was something inside him that was slightly straining.
Regardless of whether it was possible or not, I thought that if the imperial palace was sending such an urgent request, I should naturally follow its wishes as a citizen.
But I couldn’t bring myself to say it out loud.
“How is the situation going?”
“It seems they are still staying in Hangzhou. They’ll probably start moving elsewhere soon.”
Beopgye’s heart as he answered was indeed heavy.
It is welcome that the Demonic Cult moves slower than expected, but on the contrary, it means that it is destroying the city of Hangzhou so thoroughly.
When I thought about how many people had fallen victim to their magic, I couldn’t sleep at night and felt like I was chewing sand even when I was eating.
“Sapaeryeon will also be in trouble.”
A small smile appeared on the court’s lips. The smile that bloomed in the courtroom in this situation seemed so unfamiliar to the eyes of the legal world.
“Bangjang. “How is the support from other factions going?”
“We will probably hear from you soon.”
“Isn’t it too late! This is Magic Bridge, not any other place! “Why are you taking so much time?”
“Isn’t there a distance? Even if we prepare now and send salvation, it is inevitable that it will take time.”
The face of the legal world gradually hardened.
Isn’t the court’s response very different from when we requested support for the SPA Alliance not long ago?
‘Maybe…’
The world of law quickly erased the absurd imagination that came to mind at that moment. This is not something he dares to think about.
The court smiled faintly, looking at him like that.
“You have a lot on your mind.”
“No, boss. I just….”
“Dharma world.”
“Yes, boss.”
“Not knowing is comfortable.”
“….”
“But sometimes there are facts that cannot be ignored. “The duty of the person who understands first is to inform those who are ignoring the harsh reality of what should not be ignored.”
The legal community, unable to understand the court’s words, remained silent. The court continued its explanation.
“The reason why Shaolin’s position is not what it used to be is very simple. Because people no longer need Shaolin.”
“…the room manager?”
“When you have a strong enemy, you need someone to follow. But if there are no enemies, I tend to think of my own gain.”
The voices in the courtroom were calm and calm.
“Soon all the peoples of the world will understand. Who has kept the peace of this powerhouse and protected the spirit of the political faction so far? At that time, you will know why Shaolin is Shaolin.”
“But, boss… if that happens….”
“It’s something you have to deal with.”
The court quietly recited its disapproval.
“The role of those who protect the walls facing external enemies is not to block external enemies. Risking your life to warn of an invasion by foreign enemies. “To prevent further damage.”
“That’s…”
the court said firmly.
“How can that sacrifice not be noble? Same thing. “Sometimes there are things you have to endure in order to prevent further damage.”
The legal world bowed its head.
“Why are you saying this to me?”
“Because you need to know.”
The eyes of the court looking at him were cold.
“Taking responsibility is sometimes harsh. This is because you cannot do it with just a straight mind. “Even if no one else knows, you must understand this fact.”
Beopgye bit her lip instead of answering. Today it seemed like the court wasn’t the person he knew. It looked so different.
“The imperial palace will also have no choice but to cling to us in the end. Is it only the imperial palace? The old school and even that school. And…”
The court’s eyes shone coldly.
But at that moment, the legal world opened its mouth.
“Hana Bangjang. Didn’t the manager tell you? “The imperial palace remembers the history of a hundred years ago.”
“…Is that any problem?”
“If… if they truly felt the danger of the Demonic Cult, wouldn’t they go to Huashan instead of Shaolin?”
The court’s face suddenly hardened.
“What…”
Feeling his wrath, Beopgye lowered his head.
“Are the volcanoes of today the same as those of the past?”
“I’m sorry, boss.”
“This…”
The court bit its lips tightly and opened its mouth, suppressing its anger. The voice became slightly exasperated.
“What is Cheon Yu-meng doing now?”
“It’s not showing any particular movement.”
“I guess so… that’s right. There’s nothing they can do either. “Their agreement is to shout out only after calculating that it is safe.”
A cold cynicism appeared on the court’s lips.
But at that moment, the legal world that was watching quietly opened its mouth.
“Just that…”
“Just that?”
“…It’s not certain news, but there is a story that about a dozen people, including the Hwasan Sword Association, crossed the river last night. We haven’t confirmed the facts yet, but…”
Boom!
Beopgye, who had been talking, suddenly raised his head in surprise.
The data table placed in front of the court was broken into pieces and lying around.
“Bar manager.”
“Who did you say you were?”
“That…”
“Who did you say it was!”
“Hwasan Sword Association. This is the Hwasan Sword Association. He and about a dozen others…”
“Check again. right now!”
“….”
“What are you doing! “Can’t you hear me?”
“Yes yes! Host! “I’ll check it out right now!”
The legal world was frightened and ran away quickly.
The court, staring at the back with fearful eyes, bit its lip until it bled.
‘Hwasan Sword Association.’
The court knows that this is an overreaction. What on earth can only a dozen people do in this situation?
But… the moment I heard the four letters ‘Hwasan Sword Association’, an indescribable feeling of anxiety soared.
“…crossed the river?”
A chill flowed from the eyes of the court.
The fallen prayer beads were spread out on the cold, bone-like floor and went cold.
