Novel Path of The Shaman Chapter 271

Episode 271

“What? Have you seen this madman? Is the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce doing bad things?”

“How dare you say something like that!”

“Ayu, how good are you? He is the one who takes care of us like Lord Nara… no, more than Lord Nara.”

“Ayyyy! such an asshole Can’t you just turn it off!”

It is a consistent response.

Private house, shopping district, inn shop, Zuru.

Even the people of the vagabond village and the beggars begging on the street supported the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce.

The butcher ran wild and chased after him with a cleaver, and the woman who was doing the laundry sprayed dirty water.

“….”

What kind of absurd neighborhood is this?

Hwangshin felt very dirty because he seemed to have suddenly become a villain.

Sakju, Shanseo Province.

The faith of the people there seemed to pierce the sky.

Damn, there’s no point in finding out more.

After escaping from the eyes of the villagers around the corner of the alley, Hwangshin moved to find an inn where Jinmu might be staying.

* * *

Squeak.

A window on the second floor of an inn overlooking the main road of Sakju.

Jinmu filled his glass while looking at the two of them, who were wet like rats hit by water.

“Is that all?”

At Jinmu’s question, Hwangshin nodded with his cheeks puffed out, then frowned at the smell coming from his body.

“you?”

“The officials were the same. Even the heads of government departments seemed to be paying attention to the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce.”

“Really?”

Jinmu quietly rubbed his chin.

Was Shanxi a place where the influence of Sanggye was so strong?

It was very different from the Shanseo he remembered in the past.

It’s been a long time since I settled in Tianzhong Mountain, and I haven’t visited Shanxi, which has been the territory of Sapaecheon for a long time.

No wonder. Why would you visit a place where there was no problem and the money would be given on its own when the time came?

Haomen did not say much about the change in Shanxi at the time.

“Shanseo store….”

No matter how you think about it, it’s strange.

Quite a number of years must have passed for the corps to grow to this extent, and to build the same level of trust as it does now, one or two bails are not enough.

This is because Mincho does not open his heart easily and follow it even though he is grateful when he receives it.

The faith that the people of Sakju now show was only possible when they accumulated meritorious deeds dozens of times.

Unless the land was so cursed that calamities in need of relief came every month, it would only be once a year.

If that’s the case, it’s at least ten years or decades of good governance.

“Hmm… is that so?”

“yes?”

“…?”

Hwangsin and So Dongbo look at Jinmu’s muttering incredulously.

“Isn’t it strange?”

“What?”

“There are people who pretend to be nice, but there are no good people. what would there be Like beans sprouting in a drought… but that’s not a merchant.”

“….”

“Merchants are the ones who put my interests first. But those guys are investing in things that don’t benefit?”

It’s bullshit indeed.

“What are these bastards doing? Certainly something.”

Jinmu smiled and raised his arms on the table, widening his eyes.

Seeing this, Hwangshin nodded, and So Dongbo made an expression that he did not understand at all.

What do you mean? What does it matter if a merchant gets a good evaluation?

“Hey, Lord?”

Due to the changes that have occurred over the past few days, Dongbo So has been calling Jinmu not the Lord of Heaven, but the Lord of Heaven.

“…why?”

“Isn’t this an overkill?”

“….”

Jinmu stares blankly at So Dong-bo, who cautiously tells his thoughts.

“There are people in the world who are nicer than you think…”

“Tsk tsk.”

“…yes?”

“A merchant never makes an investment that doesn’t leave a profit. There must be a reason for selection.”

“….”

“And people only give good reviews? That too is nonsense. That’s what it means to be human It’s normal to feel sick to your stomach when someone else buys the land, and a sore stomach when things go well. Even if you like it on the outside, there are bound to be people who point fingers and curse at you on the inside.”

“Do you have to go that far…”

“…”

Is this bastard beaten and beaten like that?

no Well, since I haven’t lived in the world for a while, I might not understand… Wait a minute, come to think of it, this guy.

“…were you only in the middle of the day?”

“Can it be? I also have a lot of world experience.”

But why?

“I went to Jinmapyeong often, and besides that… er…”

“…”

That’s right, too.

Jinmapyeong is a plague.

You must have a lot of world experience.

How many things have you seen and heard in Jinmapyeong, which is nothing more than a market for bandits that are just snot?

Somehow, a guy with no chin said he was going to break it.

pheasant wall.

Even if the only remaining blood relative after losing a child is a golden grandchild, what should I do if the child is raised so well?

He’s already 20 years old, so how can he entrust his life to him like this…

Jinmu sighed deeply.

I don’t have experience in the world, so I can’t sell things I don’t know. how do you understand

“Hey, what do you think of when you see Hwangsin?”

“…which?”

“When you get beaten up. Aren’t you annoyed?”

“Yeah…”

“It’s like that. It all comes from envy and jealousy.”

“…that…”

I heard it, and it seems so.

“In this case, human behavior is divided into two categories. I have to feel envy and jealousy and work hard to become better! A guy who thinks that, or curses behind his back out of a terrible sense of defeat, and then gets eliminated.”

“…”

“But I can’t help but feel envy and jealousy at the root.”

It’s oddly persuasive, but what does that have to do with the previous statement?

“That God?”

“what?”

“What does that envy have to do with feeling jealous? I know roughly what you mean.”

“…”

Was the analogy a bit strange?

No matter how much this bastard is talking to the Lord, you should understand even if he speaks roughly.

“It’s not a metaphor, but it’s a matter of human nature. The important thing is this envy and jealousy. understand?”

“…”

“Anyway, there is a problem. No matter how good the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce is, it’s normal for one or two out of ten to curse. Because that is a person.”

It felt like something was being forced into it, but I had to nod my head if it didn’t fit.

But how the hell did this person live in the world?

How can you think critically of the world like that in your head?

“Okay, let’s make a hundred concessions and say that Shanseo Trading is a really nice guy. But those good guys eat together with Sapaecheon, the hotbed of illegal activities?”

“Yeah, for their own safety…”

“Bussiness.”

Jinmu makes a mocking expression at So Dongbo.

No matter how much it is a sapaecheon like your hometown, you have to admit what you have to admit.

It’s just that the pursuit is different, and even if it’s a little less bad, Sapa is Sapa.

At the time of the Revolutionary War, he had no choice but to be criticized by commoners for being mean and wicked, even though he had the keynote that private houses should not be damaged.

However, now Sapaecheon did not hesitate to do really bad things, even if Jinmu thought about it, and was causing damage to private houses.

Even the Metallurgical Party is openly selling out children.

By the way, the Shanseo Chamber of Commerce, which is widely trusted by the public and the public, joins hands with Sapaecheon, who is pointed at by the public?

A passing dog would laugh at it.

If so, it is rather gnawing away at the reputation they have built up.

A straight-minded person would never do that.

If the purpose was to guarantee the safety of the ascending journey, the coffin should have been carried on the back.

Also, if the purpose is to advance into Henan Province, it is right to offer rice to Shaolin in Songshan, not Sapaecheon.

“And the last. I haven’t seen a good guy for a guy who comes to have a relationship with the current Sapaecheon. Even so, all the people of the village are unanimous in worshiping Shanseo Trading Company.”

“…”

A strange smile forms on Jinmu’s lips.

I suddenly have a lot of thoughts.

As long as I was sure, I didn’t have to look into it.

“New Dongbo.”

“…yes?”

“At night, I’m going to secretly rob the merchants related to the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce one by one.”

“Are you brushing it off?”

“huh? Isn’t that obvious?”

“…”

Dongbo So looks at Jinmu with his eyes wide open.

hey hey

By any chance, do you mean stealing now?

Are you a thousand weeks old?

No, and why does the conclusion go that way?

If you have explained this or that, you should come up with some proper countermeasures.

had to dry So Dong-bo, a watering can with a sense of justice, tried to persuade the goddamned Heaven to move in a more normal direction.

“No, if there is any doubt, gather more information…”

“It takes a long time. bothered.”

“….”

“Well, the fastest way is to go and give it to them directly, but they say they have a good relationship with the coffin, so if we bump into each other, we’re the only ones who will lose. We have to fight after we have secured the evidence that can’t be beaten even if we shake it off. This is the basis of tactics.”

I don’t know the tactics, but it felt like the process of clearing up the suspicions and conclusions was connected at once.

“God, no matter how much it is, you can come to such a conclusion with your own thoughts…” “

….”

Jinmu stares blankly at So Dongbo.

are playing You’re the best at arranging and drawing conclusions on your own, aren’t you?

And am I like you?

This body has taken everything into account and made sure of it.

“Hwangshin! Let’s go catch a tiger. Get your mask ready.”

At Jinmu’s command, Hwangshin nodded his head enthusiastically without saying a word.

So Dong-bo looked at the two with a puzzled expression.

A mad servant in a mad heaven.

Oh, why did Grandma send me to these guys?

* * *

A small drop shop located in the center of Sakju, where the night has come.

Perhaps because it was a place where not many passers-by came and went, the owner, who seemed to be the owner, was dozing off.

In a place where there were few people, a woman wearing a fancy dress entered the store to look at the jewelry.

After confirming that no one was around, the woman muttered to herself in a low voice.

“Lord.”

“….”

“Someone is collecting our information in Sakju.”

“…?”

“According to the residents, they asked about the reputation of Shanxi Trading Company.”

The store owner, who seemed to be dozing off at the woman’s report, frowned.

“Who are they?”

“It is said that he has a fine appearance and a neat appearance like a son of a prestigious family.”

“…so did you find it?”

“I heard the news and searched all the sakju, but I couldn’t find it.”

“…”

Her words seriously distorted the face of the man named Daeju.

Daeju Noh Suncheong.

He was one of the three main members of the executive team sent to Sakju from the Shanseo Chamber of Commerce, and belonged to the Imperial Palace.

Their role is to identify and monitor locations within the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce’s territory.

But with their small numbers, they couldn’t keep an eye on everything.

That’s why the method I came up with was a surveillance system using residents.

A bounty will be given to those who report those who appear to harbor antipathy to the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce.

Of course, the reported person disappears without a sound and is found one day as a gruesome corpse.

The coffin did not even conduct a proper investigation.

This made people have a deep fear of the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce, and as time passed, they became suspicious of each other and watched each other.

The woman who came was a soldier called Byeok, who was collecting rumors about Sakju under the command of Noh Sun-cheong.

“They couldn’t find it…”

Noh Suncheong stared blankly outside the store and repeated Byeokha’s words.

“Any connection with Hao Mun?”

“I don’t know that yet.”

“Hmm…”

Noh Suncheong let out a short moan.

As the rebel forces in Sapaecheon were growing in size day by day, even Haomun joined them, so the palace owner’s order to concentrate on blocking information was about to come down.

Moreover, Beomjeong, one of the escorts and messengers of Ilgungju, was in Sakju with his soldiers for a secret mission. There was nothing good about being caught in a useless pod.

“Byeokha.”

“yes.”

“In case you don’t know, let Beomjeong-nim know this in advance.”

“You mean Beomjeong?”

“okay.”

“All right.”

“And from now on, we must find them even if we mobilize all the soldiers of the enforcement corps dispatched to Sakju.”

“All right. In addition, we will secretly issue a warning in the Sakju area and double the upper limit.”

“Good idea. The princess is in the middle of the day when she is uncomfortable. There should never be anything unsavory.”

“yes!”

Byeokha carefully backs away and the surroundings become quiet again.

“Hmm…”

I ordered, but I couldn’t erase something uneasy.

Do you mean that the rat is hiding while the detective is here?

It was not safe to leave it to the subordinates.

“I guess I have to close the shop early today.”
