Episode 293
: ‘It’s a hassle to do the incinerator…’
In the past, I was slightly scolded by my teacher for treating an official too politely.
-Heeya, something like this requires a reasonable amount of patience. This kind of calculation is especially necessary for people who are responsible for the respect of many people.
Although it is impossible to have the skills to conduct oneself like a teacher, I am now at a level where I can recognize the difference between power on paper and power in reality.
In modern times, it took a lot of trial and error for a single doctor to get this far.
Sure enough, he was interrupted mid-sentence and said, ‘Profit!’ The official on the horse, who was about to get angry, said, ‘Gasp!’ The face immediately changed into a saying.
This is because I heard the name Baekrin Uigak.
“Hmm. Please watch out for the incineration of Baekrin’s Pavilion. The main official is Jin Seung-bae, who holds the title of head of the Podo Department. I came running here after receiving a report that we had been attacked by bandits…”
“Yes, you bastard!” Why are you talking so much! You will obediently throw away your weapons and kneel down. How dare you protest! Hello! “Arrest these guys immediately!”
While Manager Podo, who revealed his name as Jin Seung-bae, was about to say something.
After that, a person on a horse came up and shouted.
What is this again? When Jin Cheon-hee looked at it, it was so huge that the people behind him could not see it at all.
‘Wow… you’re extremely obese… your cholesterol levels must be huge. Do you also have diabetes? Since you look old, it must be putting a lot of strain on your heart…’
Instinctively, Jin Cheon-hee makes an estimate.
Then I felt like my head was clearing up a little.
The tantrums that had been boiling in my chest a while ago have returned to normal a little.
I think it’s strange that his mind is trying to return to normal in a situation like this.
Jin Cheon-hee thought that there was nothing that could be done about the world being like this.
“Mr. Hyeongeung, please calm down. This is…”
“Director Jin! Are you protesting against my words now? “Hurry up and capture them all!”
Jin Seung-bae, head of the Podo Department, stops Hyeonryeong. And the pig spirit starts screaming without even listening to what he says.
‘Hmm… this is really. ‘I feel cheap?’
As a 100% pure Korean gentleman, Jin Cheon-hee tended to trust his own senses quite a bit.
When I felt low, something bad was bound to happen.
‘however. You can’t feel cold right now… If this bad feeling… is related to that wise spirit…’
Jin Cheon-hee’s eyes became cold and chilly in a different way than before.
‘They say he could be a corrupt official in collusion with thieves…’
Should I give it a try?
“It is an honor to meet you, Hyeonryeong. My name is Jin Cheon-hee, the incinerator of Baeklin Uigak. Our teacher is Zhuge Lin, a master of white lin, who has cured many high-ranking people in the imperial capital. And this is my sworn brother, the Cheonwoo Dojo of the Shaman faction… So you said you were arresting us?”
I am this kind of person, but you, who are the level of a prefect, are going to imprison me? Can you handle that?
The wise man’s mouth fell silent at the words with such meaning.
It becomes quiet for a moment.
Baekrin’s faction was a force that could not be ignored, but so were the independent factions.
The connection with the great works of high officials is also a problem, but in the case of shamanist Taoists, it is nothing compared to the Demonic Church or the Serim Church… Since this is also a religion, it has a slightly fanatical aspect.
In the past, there were cases where shamans came at night wearing masks and stabbed people under the name of agreement.
Of course, because it happened in difficult times, such things do not happen these days.
“Keuuuum! I heard that someone was injured by a thief! How can the headquarters know whether you are thieves or not? They say they are Baekrin Uigak and Shamans, but it is hard to believe…”
“Can you take responsibility for those words, Lord? Even if it is the same for me and Baekrin Uigak, if you say such a thing after seeing the uniform of the shaman and the sword of the shaman, wouldn’t it be an act of disrespecting the shaman sect, which is a conduit recognized by the Emperor?”
The sight of Jin Cheon-hee putting forward the name of a shaman was definitely powerful.
The Hyeonryeong rolled his eyes and shed a little cold sweat at those words.
And Podo Manager Jin Seung-bae sighs. Looking at that scene, Jin Cheonhee thought.
‘It looks like Podo Manager Jin Seung-bae doesn’t know how things work. Then… this prefectural order is suspicious… the inspection team… let’s not show it now. Let’s wait a little longer and see. When you find something solid, you take it out.’
The more often you bring this up, the less effective it becomes.
Using it at a critical moment has the greatest impact.
“Last night, this village was attacked by a band of bandits, and casualties are high. As a member of the National Assembly, I can’t help but look for people like this. What thief would treat someone like this? “I’ve never heard of them?”
Jin Cheon-hee is not her usual docile and polite self. He showed his strong and cool-headed side and responded to the governor.
The face of the wise man on the horse turned bright red.
Just by looking at his face, he couldn’t hide his discomfort, but instead of shouting, he just took a deep breath.
‘also. Officials are weak against authority.’
Baekrin’s Pavilion. Non-partisan.
The background is heavy.
Although the county governor was a fairly high-ranking official and had great authority, it was nothing compared to these two forces.
furthermore. Jin Cheon-hee and Cheon-woo are not the only ones here.
There is also a bodyguard to protect the Bunta members of the Baeklin Council and their members.
Although their numbers are small compared to the Podo soldiers, in fact, they are experts who can kill hundreds of Podo soldiers at once.
‘No matter how much the warriors conform to the authority of the government… in the end, barbarism is barbarism.’
Since they are political factions, they may be a little more cooperative with the government, but even at this moment, Sapa and Mado are breaking the imperial law and living as they want.
‘The essence of the sword is ultimately barbarism. In the end, you won’t be able to ignore my words as long as there is a sword in front of you.’
Jin Cheon-hee’s thoughts were exactly right.
“Hmm. If so, I understand. However, since this is not an ordinary incident, it will have to be investigated. “First, we need to find out what the thieves are aiming for, so don’t even think about interfering with them.”
“Please conduct a fair and impartial investigation.”
“It’s not something to worry about just a random member of the National Assembly! Hello. First, secure the target. “They said it was something thieves were targeting. It’s suspicious, so please confiscate it for now!”
The county commander turned his horse and gave orders to the police.
Looking at that scene, Jin Cheonhee laughed inwardly.
When I glance to the side, I see a look on Cheonwoo’s face that asks, ‘What kind of target is this?’ But Jin Cheon-hee seemed to know.
After the bandits disappeared. I could sense what the spirit that appeared like the wind wanted.
‘I was confused earlier… How did you know there was a target? That’s all I heard in passing during treatment.’
This is Jin Cheon-hee, who has been defeating the dark demons and treating people since last night.
Jin Cheon-hee learned overnight that among them were not only the village residents but also the envoys who were staying in the village.
however.
The prefect knows about the target even before he came here?
Jin Cheon-hee’s face was smiling, but her eyes began to emit a dreary glow.
‘Twist your neck right now… No. We don’t know yet. First of all, investigation comes first. And if you are involved in this…’
Jin Cheon-hee’s eyes were extremely cold.
“I believe you are referring to the sign of the pedestrian bureau that was staying here. We are currently receiving treatment for those living in the country. We, Baeklin Uigak, are doing our best to provide relief work, so if you take the items as is, problems will arise later. In order to prevent that problem, it will be difficult for us to cooperate unless you at least leave evidence that the goods have been seized.”
“What!? How dare you criticize the legitimate events of the main building!”
The wise man shook his chin and became angry again.
“Yes you bastard! No matter how much you trust your back, how dare you tell this body….”
“If you don’t. I will report this matter to the Lord of Seong in advance. “Shouldn’t this cause problems in the future?”
I will report this to the castle lord!
At those words, the Hyeonryeong makes an unpleasant face again and turns his head away.
“Hey. First, gather the thieves and interrogate them! I’m tired from running so much, so I’m going to rest for a bit. Director Jin, you take care of it.”
The spirit goes far away. I watched the back closely.
* * *
First of all, have I solved one or two of the immediate issues?
Thunder sounded in the distance and rain began to fall, one or two drops at a time.
As the thunder roared, the concussion quickly flew into the clouds.
I still don’t understand how Cheonraeung eats lightning, but since it’s a spirit creature and it’s a world like this, I decided to just accept it as is.
Raindrops one by two.
Soon it became a line and the rain fell.
The medical staff had already moved the patients inside, and outside, the bereaved families were collecting the bodies that were still left behind.
‘If it’s done this way, it’ll be a store.’
As the day dawned, the village tomb was quite small, so it didn’t look like a place where this kind of thing happened often.
Still, since nearly 100 people have died, the number of newly created burial mounds will increase.
Jin Cheon-hee leaned her head against the pillar and stared blankly at the raindrops for a long time.
I wish someone had called me because I needed it.
Is it because I’ve done everything I need to do? No one calls the Lord of Incineration.
‘It would be nice if my hands were a little busier…’
Then you wouldn’t have to think about anything else, so you could forget about the pain in your solar plexus a little.
Then a voice rang out.
“brother?”
“Oh yeah.”
In Cheonwoo’s hand, there was a bamboo rice ball.
It is used as a meal replacement in Uigak and is high in calories and nutrients.
It was literally made like combat rations.
‘I didn’t invent this.’
To make it easy to carry, it is stored in the form of a rice ball inside a bamboo stick. Just place it in a pot and steam it to complete the rice ball.
It is impossible to store it as long as modern military rations, but it still holds up quite well by the standards of this era.
‘If you just take out the contents and boil it in water, it becomes porridge.’
If the patient is in critical condition due to malnutrition, it can be used as porridge.
On the other hand, if the doctor had difficulty digesting food due to overwork, he was told to eat at least that way.
‘To be honest, the taste is a bit disappointing.’
Cheonwoo said.
“Oh, and I boiled some eggs. “The village people told me to boil a hen, but I thought my brother wouldn’t like it.”
“It’s not a rich neighborhood, so what about hens? “I actually like eggs better than chickens.”
Jin Cheon-hee said that and sat in front of Cheon-woo.
Cheonwoo put down Jin Cheonhee’s food one by one, and finally put the spoon down in front of his brother.
“I looked into it, and it’s called Crouching Tiger, one of the 18 Green Forest Houses. “They say it appears they attacked there.”
Only then did Jin Cheon-hee lift his chopsticks.
In addition to bamboo rice balls, there were also quite a few edible items.
It doesn’t look like it was cooked here, so it must have been food that Bunta prepared on its own for the lawmakers.
Munching –
The scent is delicious, but the taste is not felt.
It seems like a psychological problem, but there is nothing we can do about it.
First of all, you have no choice but to chew and swallow for the purpose of taking in nutrients.
“Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, did you know that?”
“I’m not a member of the National Assembly, so I can’t help you in that regard. “I need to help with other things as well.”
“thank you.”
Cheonwoo shrugged his shoulders at Jin Cheonhee’s smile.
“you’re welcome. “By the way, Crouching Tiger-chae said they didn’t come here to plunder.”
“okay?”
“Yes, I talked to the villagers, but given the circumstances, I think the looting was just a pretense and that they actually came for a different purpose.”
