Episode 80
“That happened.”
Dan Woo-hyeon hugged Dan So-mi, who didn’t even say anything.
Even if he didn’t show it, he would have been hurt enough. Dan So-mi usually smiles and tries not to get hurt no matter what, but Dan Woo-hyeon knows well that she has a weaker heart than anyone else.
Sure enough, Dansomi grabbed his collar tightly in her arms.
“Eight! Punishment! “What on earth are you doing?”
At that time, Jang Sam-tae suddenly opened the front door and opened his mouth harshly. They all had expressions of dissatisfaction, and even their faces turned bright red and they were huffing and puffing.
Kwon Moo-jin, who was next to him, also didn’t look very good.
“What’s going on?”
“No, that’s it. “I went to Agyang Street to buy some things I needed, but they were out of stock and wouldn’t sell them, saying someone had already bought them and left them there.”
If only one or two of the many merchants had done so, I might have agreed. But not all merchants sold to them.
Jang Sam-tae’s uneasy feeling that someone was manipulating him did not go away.
“Aren’t they just playing a prank
?”
Jang Sam-tae huffed and rolled up his sleeves. If that were the case, it seemed like they would chase after him and start a fight right away.
Even the store owners, who I had become friends with after living here for several months, were furious.
“Huh, that can’t be possible? Anyway, I wouldn’t use this method. “Isn’t it a political faction in name and color?”
“joy. “It looks like the Emperor is still dreaming.”
“what?”
Kwon Moo-jin chuckled.
Kwon Moo-jin chuckled at Jang Tae-sam’s words.
Having been a member of the Sapa faction, he knew intimately the behavior of the so-called political faction.
Of course, this is true regardless of whether you go to Jeongsama or Sae, but by nature, the powerful look down on the weak and try to oppress them.
That’s it now.
As Jang Sam-tae mentioned earlier, the weak merchants in the low street are probably under threat from the Punggeommun.
“This is definitely the work of the Wind Sword Gate.”
“That place is part of the Murim League and the Jeongdo clan.”
“Whether it is a political faction, a Christian faction, or a demonic religion, there are parts that are festering.”
Namgungcheon swallowed a groan.
Although he didn’t want to admit it, he knew better than to just deny it. He frowned and looked back at Dan Woo-hyeon.
Even after hearing the story, Dan Woo-hyeon did not say anything. I couldn’t even tell what his expression was thinking.
Are you angry?
Or is it sad?
Or is it okay?
What are those quiet eyes saying?
Soon, Dan Woo-hyeon picked up Dan So-mi in his arms and said with a smile.
“do not worry. You can make friends by looking at them from outside, and you can learn without having to go to a place like a school. “I will find you a good teacher.”
“…really?”
“okay.”
Namgung-cheon, Kwon Moo-jin, and Jang Sam-tae, who were quietly watching the scene, were speechless.
No one is selling them things or food.
This could indeed be said to be a big deal.
Although there was farming, the crops were not yet fully grown. Since it would take at least one or two months to eat, it was as if there was an emergency in food supply.
But Dan Woo-hyeon looked around at them
and smiled.
“I don’t know what you’re worried about.”
“No, there are food items and clothes that you have to buy from the street. Anyway, this is a big deal!”
Dan Woohyun let out a short sigh.
Then I remembered when I first built this manor.
In fact, although there was Agyang nearby, it was only about an hour away. There was no thought of going back and forth there to buy food or supplies.
Dan Woo-hyeon’s goal was to just stay here quietly because he didn’t want to have anything to do with anyone else.
Of course, it changed a lot due to the simplicity, but in the end, the situation was not much different from when I first thought.
“are you okay. You can make clothes and wear them, and you can hunt for food like before. Somi is confident in hunting. “Maybe we’ll catch a tiger soon?”
‘Ugh-!’ It was Dan So-mi who raised both hands and acted like a tiger. Unlike his dejected appearance just a moment ago, he now seemed to have grasped the situation a bit or was trying to get used to this reality.
Dan Woohyun smiled and nodded.
“Yes, that is correct. “Nothing changes.”
“Huh… are you serious?”
“I’m serious.”
“So you can’t even drink the liquor that Lord Jang likes?”
“Just make it and that’s it. “Aren’t you
good with your hands?”
“Well… I’d appreciate it if you thought about it, but…”
Jang Sam-tae broke into a cold sweat.
It wasn’t impossible to make and eat food. You can make food by finding edible ingredients in the mountains.
But where will I buy the seasoning for the ingredients, and where will I get warm blankets and clothes when winter is coming soon?
Everything I had enjoyed so far flew into thin air.
Jang Sam-tae could see his hard work.
A few days after that.
After sitting in the office of the Punggeommun, Jaryeong chewed his lips.
The response should have come a long time ago.
They used Cheongsong Academy to kick out their only daughter and arrested and punished not only nearby merchants but also everyone who had done business with them.
Since I hadn’t heard of them coming into Agyang recently, it also meant that I understood the seriousness of the situation to some extent.
But you didn’t come to visit the Wind Sword Gate?
‘It’s strange… Something’s really strange…’ As
I frowned and raised my head, the door to the office opened wide and a man came inside.
He was a man named Yeok Do-gang, the first disciple of the Wind Sword Gate, and was Hu Hu-ryeong’s right-hand man.
He broke into a cold sweat.
“So what happened? “I’m sure you’ll be packing your bags soon, right?”
“That… That’s it…”
Yeok Do-gang was at a loss as to how to explain.
Even though it was clear that he was suffering a significant blow, Jangwon was very carefree.
As if to prove that people can survive without spending money, when they were hungry, they spent their days fishing in Dongdong Lake and hunting in the mountains.
They even showed meticulousness in making clothes and blankets using the skins of wild animals, and even supplemented the lack of food ingredients by growing crops.
Yeokdo-gang, who was watching the scene from afar, realized once again that what they had done would never work on them.
“what? “Is that true?”
“It’s true.”
“What do you mean there are such strange people?…”
Huh Hu-ryeong sighed.
Normally, if you go this far, you’ll end up crying and crying and it won’t be easy. However, since he was able to get out of the situation so skillfully, it seemed like the guy named Jang Ju was probably not an ordinary person.
“What about Hyunseung? “What is Hyunseung doing?”
“I went there a little while ago… It looks like they are having a hard time persuading the police.”
“Are you having a hard time convincing me? “What does that mean?”
“It seems like the owner of that manor is like a god to the police. “The ones who came in recently obediently follow Hyeonseung’s words, but the police officers who were there before them objected, saying they shouldn’t touch that manor.”
“Huh… I don’t know what to say O…”
In Hyeon-ryeong’s absence, Hyeon-seung takes over all rights. So, it was clear that his power was so strong that it was hard to believe that the police would even stand up to him and refuse to do so.
Hu Hu-ryeong held his throbbing eyebrows.
“Send the children to Hyunseung. “Disguise yourself as a police officer and chase them down immediately!”
“Oh, I understand!”
“So I have to get you out of this manor.”
Hyunseung looked at the people in front of him with a confident expression and spoke.
For him, who has been in office for almost a month now, this was quite important. This is because you can gain a link to the Punggeommun, the martial arts sect that dominates Akyang.
Even if the money they received is considerable, if they solve this problem well, they may gain a strong supporter and become the sage of the evil sheep.
Hyunseung came here with such dark thoughts.
“what?”
“What a crazy guy…”
But the reaction was very strange.
Although it is a position where the wise spirit is served, the position of Hyeonseung is also one that ordinary people cannot treat carelessly.
Yet these guys kept their eyes wide open.
“Where is Hong Wenchang?”
“You bastard! How dare you call the Lord’s name in vain? “You don’t need to know and I won’t tell you.”
Jang Sam-tae and Kwon Moo-jin were shocked to see him yelling at Dan Woo-hyeon. ‘Even though I’m crazy, I’m still crazy.’ It was an expression that said, He even raised his voice so it wouldn’t be surprising if he died soon.
“Right. “What should I do?”
“They told me to vacate the manor.”
“I have nowhere to go?”
“That’s up to you guys to take care of! Just for daring to build a manor on the imperial land and hunt carelessly, you should be beheaded.”
“no! Dad didn’t build this manor! “It’s been there from the beginning!”
At that time, Dansomi came out and retorted.
He raised his voice as if he felt a bit unfair and looked at Dan Woo-hyeon. ‘Am I right? ‘Dad, there’s nothing wrong, right?’ It was a look.
“…Uh… I see.”
Although she stuttered a bit, she nodded and her face brightened even more. Then he looked straight at Hyun-seung, who was trying to blame Dan Woo-hyeon for building a house.
“Look at it.”
‘What are you looking at? Just by looking at it, it looks like it was built.’
‘It’s a place that was recently built…’
‘Hehe, how on earth can you believe this
?’
Kwon Moo-jin, Jang Sam-tae, and even Nam Gung-cheon shook their heads.
No matter how many times I look at this manor, I cannot find a single trace of any repairs to an already built house.
Moreover, judging from Dan Woo-hyeon’s expression, this manor was definitely built.
“Big! Whether built or renovated! Living in this manor is unacceptable, so pack your bags and leave immediately!”
Hyunseung glared at Woohyun with a triumphant expression.
His expression showed that there was nothing to be afraid of. This is because next to him were soldiers who followed him and disciples from Punggeommun.
Hyunseung had no doubt that they would protect him no matter what happened.
At that time, Dan Woohyun nodded.
” I get it.”
“Now…Jangju?!”
“My lord!”
Jang Sam-tae and Kwon Moo-jin looked at Dan Woo-hyeon in surprise as he nodded so obediently.
This is their home, so why do they have to listen to this unreasonable pressure?
However, Dan Woo-hyeon calmly opened his mouth.
“It’s too late today, so I’ll leave tomorrow.”
“joy! “It will happen a long time ago.”
Hyunseung nodded.
I was able to give him about a day of free time. In any case, this means that the agreement with Punggeommun will be kept.
“Then I’ll check again tomorrow. “If you haven’t left by then, we will hunt you down and hold you accountable.”
Dan Woohyun nodded at his words.
After watching him disappear before long, I slowly turned my back and walked towards the manor. Namgung-cheon and Kwon Moo-jin, who were embarrassed, hurriedly followed him.
“Are you going to be okay?” “If I leave here now, I have a place to go…”
“Ah… no need to worry.”
Dan Woo-hyeon smiled with a full smile.
