Episode 84
“What are you doing! “Arrest everyone immediately
and transport them to the government office!”
[Yes!]
Boom!
Early in the morning, the police moved in unison and invaded the inside of Punggeommun Gate. He broke down the gate and immediately detained the servants in front of him, then rushed to the main hall and the outer hall and captured all the disciples.
Those who resisted violently were swarmed around and beaten, and if they did not obey, they were shot with arrows and turned into corpses.
The police officers did not discriminate between men and women and age. The servants, disciples, and even the family of Punggeom Munju were captured and tied up with ropes.
In an instant, the entire Punggeommun Gate was greatly shaken.
People were mesmerized by the sight.
Although the actions of the Poonggeommundo members had gone too far, I never dreamed that it would be resolved so quickly upon the return of Hong Won-chang.
“From what I heard, you were caught trying to kill an innocent person.”
“Oh my, there must have been more than that, but it really caught me.”
“There was a harpoon, there was a harpoon. I think this evil sheep will be a little quieter now. ha ha ha!” People greatly welcomed this event. People looked with joy on their faces as they looked at these people being dragged away tied to ropes. He had no good feelings towards them because he often used the power of the Poonggeommun to manipulate the common people. There were many people who secretly wished for this to happen.
Because of that, everyone once again praised Hyeonryeong’s achievements.
‘I’m proud.’
Hong Won-chang felt proud as he received people’s attention.
In the past, many people bowed their heads because of their position as a prefecture, but they did not look at them with respect.
Hong Won-chang was not a prefectural official who committed great evil, but he was also not a benevolent prefectural official who cared for the people.
But what about now? Everyone casts longing glances at Hong Won-chang.
If this matter becomes known to the king again, a reward will be given, and Hong Won-chang’s status will rise accordingly.
Hong Won-chang felt good just thinking about it.
These days, Hong Jin-rang also admires his father and follows him.
Only those who have experienced it will know what it feels like to be a father who is respected by his son.
Of all the things he said recently, the thing that made him the most happy was, ‘I want to become a good governor like my father.’
Hong Won-chang’s pride did not disappear.
Moreover…
Hong Won-chang secretly touched his bosom. I received it from Woo-hyeon Dan while he was going to the manor early this morning and arresting Hu Hu-ryeong and his disciples.
It is non-grade.
Although it was at best a taijiquan like Zhang Samtai, Hong Wenchang was not disappointed.
This is because this Taijiquan contains Dan Yuxian’s interpretation and is different from Zhang Samtai’s.
“You are no more talented than Samtae. So, I’ve released it a little bit, so if you can learn it,
give it a try.” It was Dan Woo-hyeon’s own reward to Hong Won-chang.
For Hong Won-chang, it was an item worth more than the reward he received from the emperor, so it would not be strange if he passed it down as an heirloom from generation to generation.
Hong Won-chang wanted to run home immediately and open this secret account. I wanted to learn it. It felt like I could finally achieve my dream of becoming a warrior, which I had given up on a long time ago.
He smiled and raised his voice.
“Speed up a little more!”
“yes!”
The steps of the Punggeommun people being dragged one after another became faster.
“Oh my, this is so hard.”
“Ha…Grandpa, are you okay?” Nam Gung-cheon must have fallen somewhere, but he was limping and looked like his entire body was in pain. Dan Somi became restless at this.
“Hey, don’t worry. “I overdid it yesterday.”
“What?”
“I mean work.”
Dansomi tilted her head.
Yesterday, Jang Sam-tae did all the breakfast and lunch work, and Nam Gung-cheon only played. It doesn’t seem like I did much work, so why do I say it was too much work?
“My old body moves like that, so of course it hurts or not.”
“Do you really want to get punched?”
“I said something wrong…”
Jang Sam-tae stuck out his tongue.
It was Jang Sam-tae who saw the fight with Hu Hu-ryeong before his eyes yesterday. When I remembered what Namgung-cheon had done at that time, I felt like my whole body would ache.
Jang Sam-tae glanced at Dan Woo-hyeon.
‘That monster isn’t enough, and he’s an old monster… I really…’
Jang Sam-tae sighed longingly, recalling yesterday’s events.
Namgungcheon experienced several situations where he was unable to turn his body while blocking Hu Hu-ryeong’s sword. Even though he felt the pain of his bones crunching, Namgungcheon twisted his body and thrust out his sword to win.
It was a miracle that you could not believe even when you saw it with your own eyes.
Indeed, Geomhwang is Geomhwang.
“What if… what if he had attacked from there to the right?”
Jang Sam-tae thought about it carefully and asked Namgung-cheon.
The moment he urgently opened his body, Namgungcheon was clearly full of loopholes.
Fortunately, the sword penetrated to the left and barely grazed, so Namgung-cheon’s sword, aiming for the gap, was able to completely penetrate Hu Hu-ryeong.
But what if the sword came from the right side?
Did he die?
I thought about that, but Jang Sam-tae’s answer was ‘he lived.’ Nam Gung-cheon’s mysterious movements were enough to steal Jang Sam-tae’s attention.
“What about what? “I would have opened it too.”
“I’m going to fly,
isn’t that something that comes out of your mouth?”
“Hehe, this guy still doesn’t know something. The world always remembers only the winners. The one who survives wins, and that is the strong one. “If you can save your life by using Naryeotagon, isn’t that the best choice?”
“Something like that?”
Jang Sam-tae secretly turned his head and looked at Dan Woo-hyeon.
As far as he knew, the martial arts people did not carry out their weapons. I heard that most people think that it would be better to die than to bring such humiliation upon themselves.
Therefore, the words that came out of Geomwang’s mouth were somewhat surprising. And Kwon Moo-jin also had the same surprised expression.
But Dan Woo-hyeon nodded.
“That is correct. In a world of strength, the one who survives is the strong one. “A person who trades his life for his pride is a fool like no other in the world.”
“Well, if Jang-ju says something like that, I guess there’s no mistake…”
Still, Jang Sam-tae didn’t understand something. So I looked at Kwon Moo-jin, but he didn’t say anything.
‘Why is that bastard keeping his mouth shut like that today?’
It was quite unfamiliar because it was different from usual. Dan So-mi also did not approach Kwon Moo-jin, perhaps because she had the same thoughts as Jang Sam-tae.
‘I think something happened to that bastard yesterday.’
“Inseok! “Do you not believe what I say, but what you say?”
“Well, Lord Jang is like the best in the world, and the old man is just like an old man…”
“What a rotten bastard!”
Namgungcheon stretched out his hand and unfolded the gold noodle. His right hand moved quickly and snatched the broom from Jang Sam-tae’s hand. puck! puck!
Then, using the rain as a weapon, he struck Jang Sam-tae on the head.
“oh my! “I’m dying!”
“How come you can’t come to your senses even after being beaten? So, don’t you think that if you shake a cubic crystal, you’ll get hit? “Do you have no brain?”
“Oh my goodness! Just hit me hard! “You beat me like this all the time, so don’t do that!”
“Where does this guy talk back?”
“Didn’t you ask me to answer
?i”
“This rotten thing…
Dansomi smiled awkwardly as she looked at the two bickering people. It happens every day, but every time I see it, I wonder how it could be like that.
Normally, after getting hit a few times, it’s normal for people to become more cautious, but Jang Sam-tae got hit on them every day.
Dan So-mi, who was looking at them, suddenly muttered softly to Nam Gung-cheon.
“Grandpa, did you fight?”
As I thought about the conversation between Namgung-cheon and Jang Sam-tae, I thought that Namgung-cheon had a fight with someone.
Namgungcheon was surprised at those words and waved his hand.
“No, no, Somi. “Does this guy look like someone who would fight?”
“But…”
Dansomi hesitated.
If you put the stories together, it felt like that.
“It’s not good to fight! “My dad doesn’t do it either.”
The expressions of the three people suddenly became blank at the sound they heard.
Jang Sam-tae was itching to say something, but he couldn’t open his mouth, and Kwon Moo-jin and Namgung-cheon looked at Dan Woo-hyeon with strange expressions.
“Right, Dad? “We shouldn’t fight or anything like that, right?”
“Yes, that’s right. Fighting is bad.”
“Look! Dad says it too! That’s why we shouldn’t fight again.”
Dansomi raised her voice loudly and crossed her arms.
The action seemed to be admonishing the three people.
Namgung-cheon, who was quietly listening to the story, swallowed the wind.
“Wow, I’m really shocked…” The first to speak was none other than Namgung-cheon.
Kwon Moo-jin and Jang Sam-tae also looked like they wanted to talk about something, but they kept their mouths shut, perhaps unable to open their mouths.
This is because Dan Woo-hyeon’s gaze was as sharp as a blade.
“That story is over now. “The Poonggeommun issue has been resolved, so it’s over.”
“Yes, well… Since the county spirit is taking care of the matter, I don’t think the manor’s affairs will become known.”
Jang Sam-tae answered with a somewhat awkward expression. Dansomi’s story from a little while ago still seemed like a shock.
“But when will a new sect come to Akyang…” Kwon Moo-jin opened his mouth in a worried tone.
Due to the traces of Musin and Samcheon discovered in the current Honam region, more people would come in to find the history related to them.
There is no guarantee that something like this will not happen again.
“That’s what I said.”
At that time, Namgung-cheon looked at Dan Woo-hyeon.
However, after a moment of hesitation, he immediately closed his mouth. I didn’t know if he thought it wouldn’t work if he tried to talk, or if there was another reason.
Dan Woo-hyeon frowned.
“If you have something to say, say it.”
“No, I won’t tell you because it won’t work on you.”
“…Try it.”
Namgungcheon sighed softly.
Dan Woo-hyeon seemed to think that he must definitely listen to it. I felt like they were going to force me to open my mouth if I didn’t.
How can you say that a person like that never fights?
Even if Dan So-mi got it wrong, she definitely didn’t get it right.
“Why not just put up a signboard and build a house? If word gets out that this is a Segara that even exerts influence over Akyang, I think the number of troublesome incidents will be reduced.”
“Not possible. That’s nonsense. Rather, it will only lead to more troublesome things. “If you had intended to do that in the first place, there was no need to pass all the work on to Hong Won-chang.”
Dan Woo-hyeon frowned and turned his head.
Even if this is not the case, unwanted flies continue to gather. If you establish a business and spread its influence, there will be people who will come with swords in hand to crush it.
“As expected… I guess that’s why you didn’t want to say what I said.”
Nangongcheon muttered bitterly to himself.
‘After all, is it unreasonable to let Lee Ja set foot in the martial arts world?’
Dan Woo-hyeon probably understood Nam Gung-cheon’s meaning right away.
“Let’s take a look at the situation for now. You might come up with a good idea…”
“Hehe, I understand.”
Nam Gung-cheon took a graceful step back. Because I know very well that there is no use in pushing now.
However, I thought that Dan Woo-hyeon would also be aware that there are many new masters here, as a lot of things have happened in the meantime.
‘Maybe the Wind Sword Gate was also used by someone.’
Nangong Cheon couldn’t erase those thoughts.
The reason is that it was incomprehensible that Punggeommun, who was not even a big name in Hubei, took control of Aeyang in an instant.
