Chapter 890
Sima Xuan said.
“Geoganso deals with all kinds of manpower. From getting a job at another guest house, to working as a tenant farmer, to finding a bodyguard, re-employment of a servant, needing a servant with professional training, or even arranging a position to ask for a martial arts teacher….”
Cheon-woo asked in bewilderment.
“Writing teacher? Did Geoganso do something like that?”
Cheonwoo himself worked for a short time at Geoganso in the past, but he has never seen Teacher Geul.
“You probably don’t know the details of the civilian situation since you go to a place that only Kang Ho-in goes to.”
“I see.”
Cheonwoo nodded obediently.
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“I think I know roughly. What are you talking about? “You’re there to collect information brought in by civilian employees working in various places, right?”
“huh. After all, he’s my brother. You can do that and make good money too. Even though it is a place for common people, it is ultimately a distribution business and an agency, right? “If you spread it well, you will gain influence.”
“I see. “Come to think of it, this Cheongrugak is also making a lot of money.”
While talking, I looked out of the corner of my eye and saw that it was a very luxurious place on the 7th floor.
At that time, a guard came running towards the three people.
‘It’s not a Jumsoi, it’s an armed guard.’
It looks like he finally recognized Geumhyeolbang’s military uniform.
“Are you from the Golden Blood Chamber?”
Sima Hyeon took out his card as if he had been waiting.
“This is so-and-so, the inspector of the Blood Bank. I would like to stay here for a few days. Can I meet the branch manager? “There will be word in advance.”
Since it is Sapa, these inspections often use pseudonyms.
This is because there are many cases where if you observe incorrectly, you will incur resentment and be stabbed to death.
It is said that it is not uncommon for people to search for personal information, capture family members, and threaten them.
As a result, inspectors often come wearing human skin masks.
so! The inspection plaque is important.
The guard carefully looked at the Geumhyeolbang inspection plaque and confirmed that it was genuine and not a forgery.
“The craftsmanship of this wave pattern cannot be imitated by anyone other than a Geumhyeolbang craftsman. All right. Would you like to follow me first?”
[Wave pattern work?]
Jin Tianxi sent a message to Sima Xuan.
Sima Xuan nodded.
[Only a very small number of craftsmen belonging to Geumhyeolbang can create wave patterns on the surface. This is not a pattern made through craftsmanship, but rather a pattern created through the hardening process. It’s almost impossible to counterfeit.]
It’s fascinating.
I think I saw it in a documentary about making knives a while ago, and it looks like there are craftsmen who can do that here too.
Jin Cheon-hee and his party followed the guards deeper inside.
The palace consists of a total of seven floors, but each floor is quite large.
The three were guided to the fifth floor.
As soon as I entered the room, which was a decent size, I could smell an expensive scent that was only used in foreign countries.
There, the sculptured ceiling, made of coral on a red silk lining, is engraved with images of cranes flying.
‘Wow, that must have cost a lot of money.’
What is the scenery like there?
When I opened the wide window, I could clearly see the surroundings.
The tiled roofs stretch all the way to the horizon below your feet.
While looking at that scene, Jin Cheon-hee opened her mouth.
“There are many outbuildings around the pavilion.”
“The outbuildings are for guests staying overnight. Sometimes entertainers play in the early morning. “Pungryu travelers who want to enjoy it stay overnight and wait.”
tremendous.
“It’s expensive, right?”
“huh. expensive. And the day a famous entertainer comes is the day when half a house is blown down.”
Like the legend(?), if not one house is destroyed in one city, half of the house is destroyed in one night or two days.
Truly an incredible luxury.
“Incredibly rich people will come.”
“That’s usually the case. However, even if they are not extremely rich, there are people who come here who want to enjoy a night here at least once before they die.”
“You’re a fanatic.”
“That’s the way it is.”
In the past, music was the exclusive preserve of the rich.
Unless there is a performance at a market somewhere, if you just want to voluntarily listen to music at any time you want.
Since you have to invite performers or go to the concert hall yourself, money is ultimately an issue.
‘Well, art has always been like that in human history.’
Those with money supported artists, and artists composed songs or left paintings for those with money.
In some cases, street performances or genre paintings were drawn and sold, but in an era where printing and communication were not developed, the trend was ultimately for those with money.
‘I heard that Hyundai costs a lot of money if they sell musicals and operas separately.’
Among the patients Jin Cheon-hee treated in the past, there was one who had not long left to live.
Modern science could never save him.
The remaining time is estimated to be approximately half a year.
He said that he watched plays every day while thinking about how to spend the rest of his life.
See an opera and a musical.
You barely saw the movie.
This is what you say when I ask why.
‘In movies, everything is repeated the same way. But in a play, there is only that moment. Because the air, the sound, the intonation, and even the slightest mistake can never be seen again.’
‘Isn’t it exactly the same as human life? We actually think that each day repeats itself, but that’s not the case.’
‘The truth is, you live every day and die every day.’
‘That was life.’
He died after living a year longer than expected.
No matter how much you love performing, is it possible to lose all your money?
Is that all for the price of the ticket? But he replied that he was very proud of it and told me not to worry because he had used it all to the best of his ability.
…There was such a patient.
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“Whether you rob one house or half a house in one day, that one night will be worth it to that warrior.”
“Wow, that’s surprising. Because of my brother’s personality, I thought, ‘It’s such a waste. “I thought you would say, ‘Couldn’t you do more with that money?’”
Sima Hyeon imitated his older brother’s flirtatious voice.
“I thought that too. But it said no.”
Each person has different values.
The patient enjoyed the hobbies he had been enduring and stayed at home for a while after experiencing difficulty moving.
One day, I heard the news that he had passed away.
The family said they would laugh while crying because it was a good thing.
It is said that he grumbled and laughed that he had not expected to inherit anyway, but that it was all well spent.
But instead of a legacy, the memories of going to see a performance together will remain forever.
He said that now, when he thinks of that person, the atmosphere of the performance comes to mind first.
A dark yet slightly dense, unique smell.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of an instrument being played somewhere.
‘Oh, this is practice.’
One verse is repeated over and over again.
Check for mistakes. Pluck the string again, this time quickly.
After that, I try to pluck it slowly and compare myself to see which one feels better.
Competition in Chenglu is fierce.
This place could be said to be a battlefield for entertainers.
Meanwhile.
I felt like I was popular.
The Cheongdo branch manager appeared with two bodyguards.
All three were women, and the two guard warriors were very tall, probably about eight feet tall, while the branch manager in the middle was very short.
It was one head smaller than ordinary people.
Instead, calluses were deeply embedded in the knuckles of the fingers, especially the thumb and ring fingers, and the curved shape of the fingernails also showed signs that they had once been gold.
“Nice to meet you, Inspector General. “My name is Wolryeonghwa, the branch manager who manages this place.”
Wolryeonghwa.
This is a stage name often used by entertainers.
From the calluses on her fingertips to her stage name, it means that she started out as an entertainer and rose to branch manager.
It couldn’t have been an ordinary effort.
Sima Xuan handed over power without any hesitation.
“It’s called so-and-so from the Geumhyeolbang.”
He openly spits out pseudonyms.
Nevertheless, she seems to be used to this kind of thing and moves on.
“I know it’s not a regular inspection period, but… it’s sudden.”
Rather, it seems like inspection is a hassle.
“Special thanks. Actually, rather than thanking you… I came here to investigate what has been appearing on the coastline recently.”
Jin Cheon-hee is surprised in a different way.
‘Hyun’s accent sounds like a completely different person.’
No matter how many times I see it, I never get used to it.
It wasn’t even a theatrical tone, it was just that I turned into a different person with just one tone of speech.
The branch manager said.
“It’s a strange fish.”
“yes. The Geumhyeolbang to which I belong and the five factions to which the main room belongs. And all five wheels above are interested in this matter. “You probably know that.”
The five wheels would be a metaphor for the Oryunhoe.
“Yes. “However, I didn’t expect you to come here before I posted the report yet.”
Sima Xuan answered cheerfully.
“Oh, can I take that to mean that there is something here? It’s good. great. Oh, by the way, I didn’t pick this place because there was a separate information book?”
Suddenly, Jin Cheon-hee thought that this way of speaking resembled Baek Cheon-gun.
Even though Sima Hyeon has never seen Baekcheonjun.
‘Even the acting is similar… Does that mean the roots are the same?’
And the first thing Sima Hyun said was to remove the branch manager’s doubts.
‘The branch manager seems to be suspicious that Hao Wen has created a separate intelligence organization in Qingdao. Because if you do that, your position could be threatened.’
With just one word of conversation, Jin Tianxi and Sima Xuan were able to see what was going on.
Cheonwoo… I don’t know.
Because I’m just smiling.
Even if he knew, he would still pretend not to know.
Sima Hyun said.
“Through a combination of various erasing methods and the information I have gathered, I believe there may be a secret source for the mysterious fish people here. So, I came here to investigate… What information did you get from the branch manager?”
Sima Xuan turned around and said, “I know what you suspect, but it’s none of my business.”
It is a self-evident fact that if you do not provide information, you will be in trouble.
The branch manager sighed softly.
“I will sort it out for you soon. “First, I will take you to a separate building… so please stay there.”
* * *
The next night.
After receiving the report from the branch manager, Jin Cheon-hee was deep in thought.
Sima Hyun, on the other hand, is laughing like a crazy person after reading the report.
Cheonwoo finished reading the report and was also reading other books.
It was a book that the shaman faction had separately sent to Cheonwoo.
All three are half-lying in a comfortable position.
Because I know that it would be a waste of energy to keep being nervous in a place like this without anyone seeing my surroundings.
Sima Hyun said.
“Does this remind you of old mushrooms?”
“mushroom?”
When Tianyu asked, Sima Hyeon answered.
“Oh, Chunwoo, you don’t know? My eldest brother and I. 100 million. second.”
“Uh…Hyuna. “Before you misunderstand, people usually recall mushrooms growing in their bodies as a nightmare, not as a memory.”
Despite Jin Tianxi’s words, Sima Hyeon steadfastly insisted that it was just a memory.
Still, I didn’t forget to tell Cheonwoo what happened then.
While Sima Xuan was explaining things to Tianyu, Qin Tianxi was lost in thought as he flipped through the report.
‘Well, according to the report sent by the branch manager, are there three suspicious incidents?’
First of all, three of the local Toho family members were known to have incurable diseases, and eight wealthy family members who were in danger because they were suffering from serious, if not incurable, illnesses.
Everyone recovered completely.
However, their temperaments became temperamental, and some people’s eating habits changed.
In the past, I really enjoyed eating vegetable dishes, but these days, I crave meat that much.
People who originally liked meat just like meat as is.
And it is said that a man who became a eunuch in an accident regained his sexual function and his wife became pregnant.
Cheonwoo suddenly asked.
“If that’s what blood missions are for, you’re saying that you’re only paying for things like improving your stamina? “I don’t know if I can save a dying life.”
“Ah, Cheonwoo, I don’t know because you are a Taoist, but rich people value energy as much as life. Right, bro?”
Suddenly, Jin Cheon-hee remembered several rich people who brought expensive money to Uigak and begged to be allowed to use them as an excuse for the night.
At the same time, there was also a spirit creature that crushed the balls of the demon and turned him into a physical eunuch.
“hmm. that is. First of all, I don’t really understand either. But, uh… when you were young… you said you didn’t know much. Well… they say you can become desperate as you get older. It’s not a matter of whether or not you have something to use your energy at night. If you are rich, you have so much money and time that it rots. “If that doesn’t solve the problem, I’m going crazy.”
Huh, huh, I’ve explained everything I could.
‘I don’t know any more. ‘I’ve never been that kind of person!’
He’s rich, but whatever!
I have a lot of time, so I’ve never been free for anything.
And in the first place, he himself is a single person whose cells have already died and only vestigial organs remain.
Even in my past life, I only grew older and never became an adult in the true sense of the word.
It was a life in which, when I entered the house, I was greeted by an old robot figure instead of my daughter and son.
‘I’m embarrassed to collect things like this, so I can’t bear to show it to the public.’
Jin Cheon-hee When I was young, it was a big flaw that a man would collect toys like this even when he grew up.
On TV, there are scenes of immature uncles always playing with children’s toys and getting slapped on the back by grandmothers.
They say that times have changed a lot these days, but it still seemed like a bad idea to do that at this age, so I didn’t really talk about it outside.
What does Jin Cheon-hee’s house look like?
In the corner, a limited edition Steel Man diorama and a green dwarf from Star Wars stand, and an expensive lightsaber model is also hung on the wall.
I bought a big TV because I wanted to play games on the big screen.
‘I don’t have time to do it after all.’
Afterwards, I didn’t even have the stamina to do that.
It was like that.
Even if you go through hardships and people call you professor.
The kernel is just an adult.
In fact, there are many things we don’t know about.
It would be easier to build a Death Star with Lego without a blueprint.
Cheonwoo asked his brother, who was sweating while explaining.
“Huh? You’re selling your soul to blood missions for just that?”
Jin Cheon-hee closed her eyes tightly at the Taoist’s innocent question.
