Episode 128. A line that should not be crossed (1)
Serious.
Despite the ardent subjugation claim, which seemed to vomit Unya’s intestines, Hwabok murmured while digging her ears with her little finger.
In fact, Hwabok had already heard the words of the Hwabu about the bandits.
Of course, the fireman did not say that he controlled the bandits.
There is tension between the Unga Merchant and the bandits, and that must have caused quite a bit of trouble. Perhaps Unya will come soon and say that we need to dispatch a punitive force, but he even told us how to deal with it.
The fireman’s opinion was accepted by the fireman like rain in a drought.
In fact, Hwa-bok did not tell anyone, but he felt half-desperate about the current situation of the prefecture office, which had become a plant administration.
Knowing that Unya was the one who led everything, he knew that it could be easily solved if he gave in.
At first, my heart was as hard as an adamantine stone, but as time passed and I kept bumping into the wall, I couldn’t help but be shaken.
I wondered if this was the limit, but finally the card of reversal was put in my hand.
Even though the military and administration are separated, only the county ordinance could issue an order to participate.
“Are you listening to me right now? If the bandits continue to plunder, the people of Dongu County will starve to death.”
Whoa~.
Hwabok blew the earwax off the tip of her fingernail with her mouth and looked at Unya with eyes full of emptiness.
“This is amazing. Was the Lord Woon thinking about the safety of the people?”
“Ha~. driving me crazy. I know that I have a bad heart, but now is not the time to be careless like this. We must immediately order the Hyunwi to form a subjugation party.”
“As far as I know, there must be a few hundred warriors in the upper ranks… I don’t know how they let the bandits plunder the goods, who are under threat.”
“They… they are escort warriors, not marksmen.”
“Are you saying that escort warriors who give you Wolbong are worth using to subdue bandits, and that soldiers raised with the people’s taxes can die fighting bandits?”
“I don’t mean that… damn good. If you form a subjugation party, we will provide 50 escort warriors.”
“is it so. Then, let’s call the county guard and review the head of the family’s proposal.”
“Now is not the time to review, it is the time to form a subjugation party right away.”
“Other than organizing the punitive force, it is my decision, not something the head of the family will force me to do.”
Hwabok was still relaxed and sullen.
After taking a sip of the tea, I turned my gaze and looked at the clouds in the far sky with a blank expression.
“Are you going to keep doing this? great. If you tell me that you will form a punitive force right away, I will give you 100 warriors from my family.”
Hwabok’s eyes shone sharply for a moment, but soon lost their light.
Maybe because he was in a hurry, Unya made a mistake.
The loyalty and eliteness of the escort warriors who were hired for monthly wages and the warriors of families who had been raised with family support for a long time were different.
According to the law of the original city, no one other than the barons could raise a warrior privately.
Of course, no one followed the law. All those with power were raising warriors, saying that they were escorts and guards.
‘I know there are about 300 samurai in the Unga Merchants, but they’re offering 100 of them. I was quite in a hurry.’
The more the opponent was in a hurry, the more he had to take his time to get what he wanted.
“Haha, it would be a great help for the family lord to support 100 samurai… However, it will take some time as there are many things to prepare for the subjugation party to be organized. Doesn’t the head of the family know? Right now, there are no people in the prefectural office, so the administration is almost paralyzed.”
When Hwabok glared at him as if questioning, Unya put on an embarrassed expression.
“Kuhmm, I know. Then, please organize a subjugation team as quickly as possible.”
“yes. I’m the one who rules the prefectural office, and I can’t stand watching bandits eat away at the prefectural office. We will organize a subjugation party as soon as possible.”
“Then…”
As Unya tried to stand up, Hwabok opened her mouth again, rubbing her ears.
“I will contact you once the subjugation party is formed, so please do not come during busy business hours.”
Hwabok said he was busy and drank tea leisurely.
Unya glared at the suit and left the government building.

“No matter how deputy commander, how can he be so incompetent? Did you hear me with your ears? uh?”
When Vice-Chancellor Unhu failed to entice Jang-goe and Pyeon-seon, Un-hwan’s annoyance grew with each passing day.
“I am doing my best.”
“Is this how you did your best? You didn’t do anything.”
“sorry.”
“I will give you three days. Either recruit that samurai in three days or drag her into my bedroom. If there is no result after three days, I will return to the warehouse keeper job I did 10 years ago.”
“Do young master.”
“What are you doing? You don’t have time to hang out with me.”
As Unhwan looked at him with cold eyes, the Vice-Chancellor gritted his teeth and went outside.
‘How come I’m doing something like that for an idiot like that? The whole family was turned upside down because of the bandit’s exploitation… Damn it!’
The deputy commander-in-chief glanced back at Unhwan’s room, where he could hear his nose whistling, and let out a long sigh.
Unlike other children, Unhwan was excluded from inheriting the family business because he was the son of a gisaeng. Because of this, he did not learn the trade and did not know how the family worked.
‘No matter how bad it is, if you want to keep your place… you’ll have to pay. Jang Goe doesn’t even eat seeds and has strong martial arts, so I’ll have to kidnap her even if she’s not cheap.’

“Boo-ya, I’m sorry, but you can take care of the request for the time being.”
As a result of Hwabok’s audit, more than half of Uicheong’s members were fired and their property was confiscated.
Thanks to this, the medical office was not working properly, but Hwabok, who couldn’t see it, asked the Hwabu to manage it while a new member was recruited.
“Eh, I’ll cut it in moderation. all right.”
The painter knew his brother’s circumstances, so he could not bear to refuse and agreed.
And for the past few days, I have spent a hectic time treating patients flocking to the office and managing the clinics.
As the painter became busy, the three disciples naturally became busy, and when it was not a serious illness, there were many cases of visiting the painter on behalf of the painter.
“Teacher Sun-yi hasn’t come yet?”
When Ohbo, who had been visiting the house, tilted his head, the painter who was treating the patient also made a puzzled expression only then.
“I don’t think he came yet.”
“The sun will set in a little while… It’s not that far, it’s strange.”
“Where did Seon go to visit?”
“I went to Mrs. Yoon, who runs a clothing store on Jeoja Street.”
When Ok-ju answered, the painter remembered the reason Pyeon-seon had been visiting.
Patients with symptoms of a disease that only women suffer from were often sent to the hospital.
‘If I had to have surgery, I would have come right away, otherwise I would have written a prescription and finished it.’
I was kind of anxious.
A short distance that can be reached by riding a horse.
“Okju-nim Janggoe-nim.”
“Yes, Senator.”
“Come with me.”
“All right.”
When the painter hurried to the stable, Ok-ju and Jang-goe hurriedly followed.

Inside the rattling wagon.
Whoop whoop…..
With his mouth gagged and his hands and feet tied, Pyeon-seon glared at the deputy governor with a life-threatening eye.
food.
Vice-Chancellor Unhu shrugged his shoulders as he received the gaze from the sidelines.
“You should have listened when I said it nicely. What is this? Wouldn’t it have almost left a knife mark on your pretty face?”
Jump up.
The moment Unhu’s face came closer to Pyeonseon’s face, her legs and back, which had been crouching down, stretched out like springs, and her forehead slammed into Unhu’s face.
pug.
“Keuok! This bitch…”
Unhu, who was thrown back and hit the back of the head against the wall of the wagon, raised his hand the moment he bounced forward and slapped Pyeonseon on the cheek.
Jjaak.
“Oops!”
The wire spun like a top and got stuck in the corner of the wagon.
“Oh my… Are you okay?”
Vice-Chancellor Unhu hurriedly looked at the face of the fallen Pyeonseon, feeling sorry for his reflexive action.
Red blood was seeping from the gag, and it seemed that his mouth had been torn.
“Then why are you provoking me? ha ha Anyway, if the young master sees it, he won’t be there… Damn it, it’s fucked up.”
Seeing Pyeonseon’s face messed up with tears and a red palm print on his cheek, Unhu put on a despairing expression.
Drooling…..
In an instant, warm mucus flowed from his nose.
Inadvertently wiping it with my sleeve, it was not a runny nose, but a nosebleed.
“ah! I’m going to fucking go crazy.”
pug.
Pyeonseon slammed into Unhu’s face, who had been careless for a moment.
“What a dog…”
* * *
‘Oh Dad! Master…..’
Pyeonseon shed tears endlessly.
After striking the deputy commander in the forehead twice, the warriors tied her body like a cocoon, unable to move.
All she could do now was cry.
I was scared and scared, and I knew what was going to happen to me in the future.
Woon-hwan, who came to receive treatment, looked at him with a sly look.
Obviously he is kidnapping himself.
What should I do?
If he hadn’t been gagged, he would have bitten his tongue and killed himself before being raped, but now he couldn’t do anything.
‘Master, please notice that something is wrong… and save me.’
Even in the midst of this, Pyeonseon remembered the face of a fireman more than anyone else.
rattle.
After a long time, the carriage door opened and the person who greeted her was Unhwan with eyes like an animal in heat.
Unhwan’s eyes widened as he approached while licking his lips.
“what? What’s wrong with this bitch’s face? What kind of idiot made this mistake?”
Seeing Pyeonseon’s face, Unhwan looked at the four warriors taken away by the Vice-Chancellor with irritated eyes.
The four warriors did not shrink at all even after receiving the eyes of Unhwan. And their eyes naturally turned to Vice-Chancellor Un Hu, who was wearing a piece of cotton cloth over his nose.
He heard the commotion outside the carriage, so he had a rough idea of what had happened.
Unhwan’s eyes followed the escort’s eyes and returned to Unhu.
It was only then that the piece of cotton cloth tucked into Unhu’s nose came into his eyes.
dump.
Before Unhwan could say anything, Unhu quickly knelt down and prostrated himself.
“Sorry. young master. Because that bitch rebelled so fiercely, I had to use my hand once.”
Unhwan looked at Unhu with an absurd expression, then looked at Pyeonseon, whose whole body was tied to a rope like a cocoon.
Tears, runny nose, swollen red cheeks, bloodstained gags, even the smell of sweat.
pug.
Suddenly, Unhwan’s foot kicked Unhu’s stomach.
“Gagging! Do young master.”
“Are you crazy?”
Puff pup pup pup puck…
Woon-Hwan stepped on the fallen Un-Hu.
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… Wrong. Forgive me… save me! Bocchan…”
“I haven’t touched it yet, but only you can touch it? If it were you, would you have the heart to eat a fly caught in rice? ok?”
