Episode 336
“You mean it’s invisible?”
“Yes that’s right.”
“Hmm…”
Yun Gong opened his eyes and swallowed a groan.
The characters from the Honam Danga are not visible. I just thought that if I kicked him out, he would naturally go to Hong Won-chang’s house, but it’s as if his traces have disappeared and I can’t find them.
This was a pretty bad thing.
“You must always keep your eyes on a wild animal…”
A wild animal that does not know when, where, or how to attack must watch its every move. Wasn’t that why they tried to catch Hao Wen-ju first, since he was the most troublesome person? Yun Gong glanced at the self-torture statue.
I saw him standing there casually.
Yun Gong frowned and sighed.
“Phew – it’s not like anything will happen right now, so it’ll be okay. Rather, what happened to your subordinates?”
“I arrived near Agyang a few days ago.”
“Right.”
Those who secretly protect the Mangeum Sangdan.
He is good at horseback riding and can naturally use any weapon. Also, because he was vicious by nature, he had no hesitation in killing people, and his targets were regardless of age or gender.
They are notorious for being secretive and scary, so much so that they are mobilized whenever any work at the Mangeum Merchant Marine is needed.
The person at the center of it all is self-torture.
He usually had an indifferent expression, but he had a crueler and rougher personality than anyone else.
Yun Gong laughed.
“What about Green Forest Island?”
“I cut everything down.”
He nodded and looked satisfied.
It was Yun Gong who used Nokrimdo.
However, as always, Yun Gong does not allow trouble to arise.
From the beginning, the goal was to get Dan Woo-hyeon out of this place, and that has been achieved, so the Green Forest Islands are no longer needed.
I could throw it away at any time and not feel guilty about it.
“But aren’t you paying too much attention to that Dan Woo-hyeon?” Jahaksang asked with a puzzled expression.
In fact, this incident of Akyang was an order received from the current head of the family. It was a place where the Mangeum Sangdan lost its influence and was still causing a lot of losses.
So it was just a part of trying to get it back, but Yun Gong’s caution was truly incomprehensible.
“He is the one who led Sega alone. Also, when you think about all the people who happened in Agyang, it can never be called ordinary. “The best way is to exclude such anxiety factors and proceed with the work.”
“Then is it better to kill him…?”
The self-deprecatory expression on his face raised the question, “Why don’t you do that?”
In fact, in this case as well, all that would have been necessary was to use Jahaksang and his subordinates to wipe out the Honamdanga.
Since the matter was resolved neatly without any setbacks, it seemed that there would be no way to restore influence in Honam faster than that.
“The problem is that their power is amazing.”
“Is it that much?”
“Haha, you look down on people too much.”
Self-deprecation always looks down on the opponent by one or two numbers. This was partly because of his confidence, but also because he had never failed a mission except once.
“The strength of Macheongun… or Gunjageom, the strength of these people is well known through rumors. It is said to be comparable to the Chilseong or the Five Emperors… But the rumors…”
“It’s good to be confident, but be careful about yourself. “I do not think it is good to lose you and your men.”
flinch-!
Self-torture looked at Yun Gong with shaking eyes.
This means that there is no chance of success in going head-to-head with Honam Danga. As if that had touched the warrior’s pride, his eyes rose fiercely.
However, Yun Gong, who had already turned his head, could not bear to look at that face and muttered.
“Now then, shall we finish?” All sorts of thoughts came to his mind.
* * *
Geumwangya Joo Do-gyeom was sitting greeting King Yeongchin. Unlike the places they usually see each other, they gathered at Honam Danga, but strangely enough, the atmosphere was not that good.
Although they were passing drinks and chatting amicably, they were exploring each other, keeping an eye on each other, and even clinking glasses as if they were trying to make things clear.
From the Geumwangbu’s point of view, King Yeongchin, who was favored by the current emperor, would not be so reluctant, and King Yeongchin and Geumwangbu, who also had great military power, would not be willing to do so.
An energy arose between the two people facing each other, knowingly or unknowingly.
“Hahaha, I don’t know how long it’s been since we last had a drink together like this.”
“exactly? I think we met last time too. Was it during the martial arts competition…?” Geumwangya’s complexion hardened in an instant.
It’s because it reminded me of something I didn’t want to think about. King Yeongchin’s face was smiling, but he clearly offended Geumwangya and provoked him.
Geumwangya took a sip of her drink and frowned slightly.
‘Why is this guy here?’
King Yeongchin is a person who absolutely hates troublesome work. Also, it is famous for not even looking after the backs of certain families or factions, because it makes one wonder if there are people running around like monkeys with King Yeongchin’s name on their backs.
King Yeongchin came to visit Geumwangbu?
Even though the people of Geumwangbu did not tell anyone that they were here, they came right in front of us as if they had known about it, which was quite embarrassing for Geumwangya.
There was even Jegal Un by King Yeongchin’s side.
That alone made Geumwangya feel quite anxious. In the end, Geumwangya decided to find out King Yeongchin’s intentions.
“Haha, I guess something like this happens and something like that happens. But what brings you here at this late hour? “From what I heard, you are busy because you have to go to Beijing soon?”
“of course. When called by His Majesty the Emperor himself. ha ha ha.”
Geumwangya’s face crumpled at the words ‘yourself.’
Even some of the other members of the royal family were not called. However, since the emperor said that he was only looking for King Yeongchin, I felt a strange sense of alienation, and I felt uneasy because it seemed like more power was being given to King Yeongchin.
I was also curious about the reason.
Geumwangya slowly pulled her body forward and asked.
“So do you know what the reason is?”
“haha.”
King Yeongchin smiled.
The moment I saw the other person’s expression, I burst into laughter without realizing it. Only then did Geumwangya blush and straighten her posture, probably thinking about her own situation.
However, since it has already shown its unsightly appearance, there is no turning back.
A complaint formed on King Yeongchin’s lips.
“I don’t know the details, but… maybe it’s because of that?”
“That… work?”
As the words were spoken in an ambiguous manner, a look of confusion appeared on Geumwangya’s face.
No matter how much I thought about it, nothing in particular came to mind.
“Recently, there are rumors that several officials are gathering in groups to embezzle money. “Maybe that’s what you want to discuss…?”
King Yeongchin’s gaze turned to Geumwangya.
The gaze in his eyes seemed as if he knew everything.
Who doesn’t know? This means that countless officials who follow Geumwangbu take out the money and give it to the king.
Geumwangya invests the money in Mangeumsangdan, and the sangsang again builds up a huge amount of wealth for Geumwangya.
Geum Wangya’s face, which had been relieved because this hadn’t happened a year or two ago and she hadn’t been caught, turned red.
However, trying not to show it as much as possible, he leaned back in his chair and let out a sigh.
“Is… is that so? Were there any such obnoxious people?”
“Yes, I was investigating after receiving the order, so I got most of the list. “If only that were possible… no matter who it was, their head would fall off.” shaking.
Geumwangya’s hands began to tremble.
If this is discovered, you
will not be alone. Those involved in this matter, as well as the Mangeum Sangdan, cannot avoid the rebuke.
Also, it is not a situation where you can laugh as your family members may also lose their heads.
Geumwangya looked at King Yeongchin’s face.
His scornful expression seemed to know the whole story.
‘Should I kill him?’
Such thoughts flowed into Geumwangya’s mind. As long as it can be done secretly, it is easy to send someone to Goll, no matter how much he is King Yeongchin.
That is, if you use the power that Geumwangbu and Mangeumsangdan have.
Tuk!
At that time, Zhuge Un quietly put something down on the table.
At that sound, Geumwangya woke up and raised her head. What Jegal Woon has left is a car that appears to have been reheated a little while ago.
“Please eat. They say it makes your mind clearer.”
“Thank you… thank you.”
Zhuge Un’s gaze was focused precisely on Geumwangya. I cringed involuntarily at the gaze that seemed to know better than anyone else what I was thinking.
It was as if he was sending a spray of water, but even the process was in his head.
Finally, King Yeongchin opened his mouth.
“But… in the process of researching the list, there was an interesting name…”
King Yeongchin’s crooked expression looked at Geumwangya.
The moment Geumwangya received that gaze, she realized that she could no longer escape.
“Please… save me! please! “Of course I received it, but I didn’t use it for anything particularly bad.”
“Haha, you recently received a lot of money from Yun Gong of Mangeum Merchants, right?”
These words came from Zhuge Yun. King Yeong also raised his eyes wide with an expression that he did not know.
Soon he clicked his tongue.
“Well… was that why you took this manor, my king? “This isn’t just something to laugh about, but…?”
“Ah… no… this is….” Geumwangya swallowed his saliva.
I recently received a lot of money. Since it was a matter of causing trouble for the Ho Namdan family, who were otherwise nothing more than a thorn in his eye, he was aiming to get the best of both worlds by getting money and getting revenge.
But who ever thought it would come back like this?
Even so, in a situation where there is a list of people who received kickbacks, if it is discovered that they received money to handle the work again, the heads of the three families may be put on the line.
Geumwangya’s profuse cold sweat did not go away.
“Oh no, no. I liked this manor so much that I paid money to rent it for a while. “Isn’t that so?”
Geumwangya hurriedly searched her arms.
Before I knew it, so many thick slips came out. King Yeongchin and Zhuge Un could not even tell how much it was, so they stuck out their tongues.
However, Zhuge Un seemed to have no intention of rejecting it and accepted it.
For a moment, regret flashed through Geumwangya’s eyes, but she quickly hid her expression, perhaps because of King Yeongchin’s notice.
‘With this, the gift to the head of the family is complete…’
Zhuge Un smiled awkwardly and approached Geumwangya. Since you’ve already started, you have to see the end. Even if it is King Ya who rules a castle, he cannot escape from Zhuge Yun’s hands.
He secretly whispered in Geumwangya’s ear.
“It’s still a little lacking.”
“What… what?”
Geumwangya was taken aback by the sound he heard.
Even though so much money was given, is it still being said that it is not enough? The money that Zhuge Yun took was a large amount of money that ordinary people would not be able to touch in their entire lives.
However, Zhuge Yun did not pay any attention.
He just smiled and put pressure on Geumwangya.
“I need you to let me know. Where did you meet them? What did you hear from them? “Think of it as the rope that will attach Wangya’s leash.”
Geumwangya trembled at the words that she soon heard.
It’s like resentment toward oneself who has no choice but to make a choice in order to live, and at best being threatened by these scum of the martial arts people.
Geumwangya glared at Zhuge Un fiercely.
But Zhuge Un only laughed harder and said nothing more.
