Episode 162
“Is this the alcohol you were talking about?” Joo Jin-hak, King Yeongchin of Honam, looked at the liquor in front of him and his eyes sparkled. He also knows what this liquor is, having heard it through rumors.
Although it had only been on sale for at most 15 days, it was the drink of the Hoyeon family, who thought they could no longer taste the drink that was on the lips of the liquor drinkers.
Joo Jin-hak’s mouth was watering just thinking about it.
“That’s right. Would you like to try it?”
When Hong Won-chang, who had changed into a neat outfit, asked, Joo Jin-hak nodded willingly.
Didn’t they even arrange for two gold coins per bottle to drink this?
Still, I couldn’t get it, but Hong Won-chang was so talented that he saved as many as two bottles.
Joo Jin-jin, who was quietly looking at the bottle of liquor, raised her head with a happy expression when she heard the maids bringing glasses and bowls.
Only then did I realize that there was someone I had never seen next to Hong Won-chang.
“But who is he?”
“Interest is the top share of the gold ring. “Distributing the Hoyeon family’s alcohol is also a source of interest.”
“Nice to meet you, Wangya. “It’s called
the Gold and Silver Crane .”
“Oh, are you the one who discovered this liquor in the dark?”
Joo Jin-hak asked with a bright expression what made him feel so happy. Anyone who likes alcohol will inevitably feel attracted to Geum Eun-hak, who brought the alcohol.
It was such a rare drink.
“I was lucky. “Although the amount of alcohol sold per month is limited, we will send alcohol to Wangfu whenever you wish.”
“ha ha ha! Those are nice words. But it worked. Isn’t it true that good alcohol tastes best when you buy it with your own money? Next time, I will wait for alcohol to come out and buy it myself and try it.”
Hearing the exciting words, Geum Eun-hak bowed his head deeply. Zhu Jinhak had a special relationship with the emperor.
He was also famous for his integrity and innocence, and for never being swayed by personal feelings or interests.
Geum Eun-hak also had no intention of giving free alcohol, but it was a polite remark, and Joo Jin-hak accepted it as his own.
“Wow, this is a really delicious drink! It’s worth drinking even if you have to pay the price. Now, you guys, stay still and get a drink. “Alcohol is inherently delicious when you drink it together.”
People in a good mood also have delicious and good drinks.
As a person who loves alcohol, what could be more exciting than this?
The bright smile on Joo Jin-hak’s mouth did not disappear easily.
“failure? failure? “Failure!?”
Chu Mun-won sat down on the chair, holding his back. Everyone I trusted was found dead. However, this does not mean that Hong Won-chang or Geum Eun-hak were dealt with.
I thought the power I sent would be enough, but that wasn’t the case. The person who made the mistake in judgment was not Duakchil, but himself.
“It is said that he has already entered the royal palace with alcohol.”
“Damn it! “Have you ever
heard of a great guy ?”
“Well… according to the story of the children who were scouting Wangbu, they saw Namgungso Hye and Kwon Moo-jin.”
“Namgoong Sohye? Kwon Moo-jin?”
I was so shocked that I burst out laughing.
The corners of my mouth trembled.
The hand that brushed my hair was also shaking.
Why are people like that helping the Golden Ring Company? Aren’t they all famous masters? Does this mean you have any connection to the Geumhwan Sangdan?
All kinds of random thoughts made my head feel like it was going to explode.
“Why are they there?”
“After collecting information in various ways… it is said that the two were originally staying at a place called Honamdanga in Agyang.”
“Honam Danga?”
“yes.”
“Was there such a thing?”
“This is my first time hearing it too.”
Duakchil wiped away his cold sweat and barely opened his mouth. It was his first time hearing about a place called Honam Danga. But I still couldn’t believe that there were masters like Namgung Sohye and Kwon Moojin there.
“And…”
“And? “What else is there?”
“Do you remember the rumors that have recently spread around Agyang and Jangsa?”
“what is that?”
“Strange old men wearing military swords and the masks of Lord Macheon.”
“okay.”
I remember hearing it in passing.
They are elderly people who mainly appear in the Agyang area. They are people who put on masks and appear to help if someone gets into an accident near the street.
“This is information from Haomun, but I think the Honam Danga is where they live.”
“Ha…”
A vain breath escaped Chu Mun-won’s mouth.
Are those ridiculous people messing with them now? Just thinking about it was so absurd that I kept sighing.
Who owns this Honam?
Although it has not revealed its power externally, it belongs to this scandalous family.
No matter how well the small and medium-sized literary factions settled in Honam, they could never escape the influence of the scandalous family.
‘But who do these guys dare to touch?’
When I thought about it, it was so absurd that I just laughed.
“What should I do?” “
Are you sure
they are pushing the Golden Ring Merchant ?”
“Yes, it looks like that.”
“Then where is that bitch from the Hoyeon family?”
“I understand his whereabouts are unknown. Ah…”
“It must be in that Sega, right?”
Duakchil nodded.
Geumhwan Merchants served alcohol every few days.
That means that a woman from the Hoyeon family is making alcohol somewhere.
The most likely location was none other than Honam Danga.
“I have to drag that bitch out.
Put the flue in the top of Honam.”
“What should I say?”
“Put pressure on the Jinhwan Sangdan… no, tell them to get rid of it.”
“All right. “What will Sega do?”
“Put in the request of the dead man secretly.”
Duakchil opened his mouth wide at the word “salgak.”
The best shooting group in midfield.
This is a place where people who are said to have no one they cannot kill as long as they pay the right price are gathered. Salgak was created by those who had reached the peak of numerous assassin groups in the central region.
The weight of that name was also enormous.
“Kill them all. “Not a single one is left behind!”
“Bah… I’ll do it right away.”
Although the killers had outstanding abilities, the price was so high that ordinary people could not even request it.
It costs from tens to hundreds of taels of gold to hire one, and it varies greatly depending on the person you are dealing with, so most of them receive requests from high-ranking officials or wealthy merchants.
Those who are here now are also like that.
The number of people who came out of Salgak Honam Bunta was approximately ten. Considering the power of the flesh, there were quite a lot of them, but considering the person who requested it, it was inevitable.
-This number of people is needed to annihilate at most one small or medium-sized government… Isn’t it unfair?
The man who appeared to be the commander nodded to the subordinate’s question. I heard that the client requested this number of people to ensure the job was completed.
The amount requested was also significant.
It cost a whopping 500 nyang of gold, so it was good for everyone who bought it. The easy price of annihilating a nameless family was quite expensive.
-But don’t let down your guard. It would be good to think that there is something to it as the amount is so high.
-All right.
The man smiled as he looked at his subordinates nodding their heads.
He too was thinking the same thing. If only one of them was sent, it would not be a big deal to wipe out a mediocre family.
-There it is.
Before they knew it, they had reached their destination.
It was late at night, just past midnight.
The large manor of Honam Danga was so amazing that just looking at it made my eyes widen.
I’ve been to a lot of places and seen a lot of buildings, but this is the first time I’ve seen anything this splendid other than the Imperial Palace.
The man grinned.
-It’s a house that wouldn’t be worth setting on fire.
– okay.
Each of the subordinates looking at Sega nodded. Although they didn’t show it, they also seemed quite surprised.
-Do not forget our purpose. If there is a woman presumed to be Hoyeonji, capture her unconditionally and kill all who remain.
– The man
nodded his head at the loud voice of his subordinates. As we have been together for a long time, I know very well that they do not tolerate even small mistakes.
Now all that’s left is:
‘It’s a massacre.’
The man grinned and took out a dagger. I could feel a strong venom coming from the thing with the black blade standing there.
Since it is coated with Chiljeomsa’s poison, if you just touch it, you will die unless you have a poisonous sting.
The man’s heart pounding did not stop at the thought of seeing blood soon.
Soon, it quickly approached Se-ga with a low crawl.
But there was no sign of him inside the manor.
The lights were off and I couldn’t feel anyone coming and going. It was also funny that these three big families didn’t even have a bodyguard.
It seems like their work will become easier thanks to this.
With that thought in mind, he gave a signal to his subordinates.
The moment when ten shooters climb over the fence at once.
Suddenly!
“Oops!”
The man could not believe his eyes as he saw what had happened.
There were three figures standing on the other side of the fence.
One of the men’s swords must have been swung, and the two subordinates’ bodies were cut in half and blood was splattered.
‘ uh?’
While none of the assassins can even judge the situation properly.
Death, death, death!
Something caught the moonlight flashed several times.
Cheolpudeok Cheolpudeok!
The subordinates fell down for no reason.
The body was cut off and the head was blown off.
The number of assassins, which had been about a dozen, suddenly decreased. Since it was just a blink of an eye, the murderers were even more unable to come to their senses.
“That’s so messy.”
Soon, Inyoung, holding a sword, stepped forward.
Her long hair waved elegantly in the moonlight. Even as he lightly brushed off the sword covered in red blood and looked at the lying corpses, his expression did not change at all.
The moment when Salsu finally climbs over the wall for the last time and lands on the ground.
Suddenly!
“Kwaaaaaak!”
Another beam of light cut off both legs.
I couldn’t come to my senses from the pain. I wanted to scream even more, but my voice was not even able to come out because my blood pressure was instantly suppressed.
Blood appeared on my forehead.
Even my face turned red.
The pain was felt just by the facial expression.
“You shouldn’t climb over other people’s walls. “There might be a tiger or a dragon in it, right?”
Inyoung came closer and looked down at the fallen man.
My whole body stiffened under that cold gaze.
“I don’t expect you to open your mouth quietly. So don’t ask now. “It is worthwhile to open your own mouth.”
Inyoung chuckled, stretched out her hand, grabbed the man’s hair, and dragged him away like a dog.
