Chapter 336 - The dead don't talk
Heo Chang.
sub-zero change.
Mugok Mountain.
Two old men sat facing each other in the main house.
It is Sugeumseo, the owner of Mugok Sanjang, and Wang Inguk, the owner of Geumilpyoguk.
A bottle of alcohol and a simple snack were placed between the two.
However, the glass was full of alcohol, as if he hadn't poured it and drank it.
The collector asked as if to confirm.
“Are you sure So Ji-woong can’t come today?”
Sugeumseo was the owner of Joyangjeonjang (朝陽錢莊, money lending place) and was the wealthiest person in Heochang.
“I made a request to Haomen. I don't believe that the guards of the Geonwonpyo State will defeat them.”
“They say the martial arts of the Three Gorges in Cheongju are excellent… … .”
“Don’t worry. Cuiilbae Geumbulwi and Ilsimhwachwi Dansumun are enough.”
“Only believe in King Gukju.”
Sugeumseo looked at Wanginguk with calm eyes.
The reason why he joined hands with Geum Ilpyo Guk is because Geon Won Pyo Guk always wears the battlefield. Gukju of the Geonwonpyo country was very interested in the battlefield business, so he always set up a battlefield when he went to the end.
That is the reason why Sugeumseo joined hands with Wanginguk of Geumilpyo.
I was thinking of pushing it out from the beginning so that the Geonwonpyo-guk could not take root in Heochang.
“By the way, isn’t it about time to hear the news?”
It was just when the words of the collection book were over.
He said the tiger would come if I told him, and there was a light cough outside the door.
Soon after, the maritime ark, Geumbulwi, opened the door and came inside.
Wang In-guk and Su Geum-seo jumped up from their seats and welcomed him.
“The gold ark, what happened?”
Wang In-guk asked the result before Geumbul-wi even said hello.
Geumbulwi replied with a bitter face.
“Failed.”
“A failure?”
“Huh!”
The Wangin-guk's counter-question and the collection book's sigh came out at the same time.
Wang Inguk frowned.
I don't know why it failed when the Geonwonpyo Bureau didn't increase the number of escorts.
“Is the martial arts of Cheongju Three Gorges so outstanding?”
Geumbulwi shook his head at Wang Inguk’s successive questions.
“It is not. Ji-Woong So Ji-Woong hired a top-notch ronin . Dansumun was carried away with his head broken by his sword.”
“Huh! do you have a relationship? Surely it's not like that of Green Forest, right?"
"no. Would I be standing here if I were to be the enemy of the green forest? In his own words, he is from Jeongju, and even Dansumun was beaten with his bare hands.”
Then the collection office helped out.
“These days, both dogs and cows use the name of yeonjeokha, so it must be one of them. If ten men come to the battlefield, let three of them join the ranks.”
“You mean even the best ronin pretends to be someone else’s name?”
Gold Buddha shrugged his shoulders.
"If it's not an impersonation, it's probably the same name. Anyway, as long as he is there, So Ji-woong will not be able to be touched.”
“Damn it! Where did So Ji-woong ask for such a guy?”
Wang In-guk stared at the golden Buddha.
I mean, do you know anything?
Without a doubt, Geumbulwi confided in the story of Yeonjeokha.
“… … That's how So Ji-woong signed a new contract with him with a down payment of 100 nyang and ten hermits per day.”
“If you don't, why don't you bet twenty hermits per day on the down payment of two hundred nyang for the gold ark?”
At Wang In-guk's words, Geumbul-wi said with a face that he felt unfair.
“I don't have that kind of money.”
“You could make a promise and charge me later, right?”
“You promised such a large amount of money without the king's permission, and then what will you hear later?”
Geumbulwi alternately looked at Wanginguk and Sugeumseo.
Now that I can't stop So Ji-woong, I can say things like that.
But what if So Ji-woong was eliminated?
Even then, would Wang In-guk offer to pay a large sum of money to a man who pretended to be a jeokha?
Thousands of words
Obviously, he was going to put the blame on himself.
Guessing the heart above the golden Buddha, Wang In-guk clicked his tongue as if he was frustrated.
“Tsk tsk! How can you plan a gigantic business with such little faith... … . We would lose thousands of nyang if So Ji-ung sat down on the porch, but that's why we let go of all the fish we caught for 200 nyang.”
“… … .”
Geumbulwi agreed with Wang Inguk's words, but did not regret it.
When you go to the backyard, the mind and the mind after seeing errands are never the same.
Especially merchants can't be trusted.
Didn't So Ji-woong hit Yeon Jeok-ha's gang at fifty gates?
It was when Wang In-guk and Su-geum-seo were agonizing over what to do.
There was a noise in the yard, and then the voice of the steward.
“Sir, So Ji-ung, the governor of the Geonwonpyo State, has come. What should I do?”
The tax collector, who had been hesitant, spoke forcefully.
“Take them to Susimgak, where the guests are, and go first. I will follow soon.”
"yes."
The steward's footsteps receded.
Su-geum-seo, who had been sitting in a daze, turned her head to Wang In-guk and Geumbul-wi.
“Hey, what are you going to do now? Are you going to just watch the Kunwonpyo bureau set up stalls in Heochang?”
Geumbulwi was not his territory anyway, so he heard it with one ear and shed it.
This is because he is a person who handles trivial matters, not a merchant.
Suddenly, Wang Inguk asked Geumbulwi.
“Ark of gold, let’s ask honestly.”
"yes."
“Is it possible to appease us?”
“That sounds like trouble. Upon closer inspection, he said that he was the man summoned by the Three Gorges of Cheongju. If he is familiar with Cheongju Three Gorges, he will not come over for money.”
“If so, is there a ronin in Heochang who can deal with him?”
“As far as I know, there is no top-notch ronin in Heochang. I don’t know if it’s Jeongju or Opening.”
“It's okay to be a master of another martial arts other than the ronin. Who is there to deal with him?”
After thinking for a moment, the golden guard cautiously opened his mouth.
“If the goal is to get rid of him, there is a master from the Tang family in Xuchang.”
"If it's Danga, are you a person who uses poison?"
“Yeah, isn’t that the original place? It is said that he lived on the outskirts of the Tang family in the past.”
"Quoin?"
Wang Inguk tilted his head.
For some reason, the name smells like non-mainstream.
“It is said that direct descendants of the Tang family live in the Cabinet, and collateral descendants live outside.”
"So you're saying it's a collateral?"
“Even if he was a collateral, he was so poisonous that he was called the Three Jewels. Of course, no one knows him in Heochang. I didn't even know such a person existed until I happened to associate with him. Even Hao Mun in Xuchang wouldn’t know that the Three Jewels are in Xuchang.”
“Are you saying that you did some hiding?”
“Similar. It is said that he left on his own after being checked by the head of the Tang family.”
“Ho! Are you saying that the Tang family is a person that can be kept in check?”
“No one knows now, but it is said that Tang Yun-mang, the three jewels, was the best outside Tang family. Of course, that's just what I heard from him.”
Geumbulwi made a hole through which he could escape.
It is because he has no way of knowing whether the three treasures, Jeolmyeong Dangunmang, is really that good.
The collection book, his heart racing, intervened.
“The gold ark, can you use that person? He said he went into hiding.”
“It wasn’t that I was officially in hiding. I’m just living by avoiding the eyes of the Tang family.”
“By the way, would a person living away from the party come to our work?”
“Dangjia is in Sichuan. Moreover, they suffered great damage in the fight against the famous religion. I am not in a position to care about where a disciple from outside the country is doing.”
This is a story I heard firsthand when I was drinking with Dangunmang not too long ago.
That day, Tang Yun-mang said in a casual tone, “It seems it is time to work.”
That's why he came to mind now that he couldn't save the best ronin.
“Hmm! Poison.”
The collection office, which had been asking about this for a long time, shrank.
It's all good, but poison doesn't feel good for some reason. It's because I don't know when I'm going to be poisoned.
Moreover, the opponent is a member of the party family.
Even if they are from a collateral 'outside', the authority of the four generations does not go anywhere.
You don't know what kind of trouble will happen if you bring the four generations into a small dispute in Heochang.
The Geonwonpyo Bureau may ask for help from other Bangpas that have a grudge against the Tang family.
From then on, everything goes awry.
Wang In-guk, who had been listening quietly, had the same concerns.
'Tsk! It would be better if this matter ended with a fight over interests between the minor breakups, not the four major families... … .’
That way you can fix it later.
However, there are only three days left until the opening of Geonwonpyo.
If you don't make So Ji-ung give up or kill him within three days, there will be a change in perception in Heo Chang's upper world.
'It's already new time (3:00 PM - 5:00 PM), so it's two days now.'
If you can't defeat the top-notch ronin within it, the Geonwonpyo state will take its place.
If so, the answer is fixed.
In the worst case, even if you can't eat it, once you stab it, you won't have any regrets.
Wang In-guk made eye contact with Su-geum-seo.
“Jangju, let’s sing the Sambo Jeolmyeong.”
“Gulp, even though he is a collateral, he is a man of the four generations. Are you okay?”
“If I don't, I'm about to open my eyes and be taken away, but what should I do? They say the dead don't talk.”
"omg! Could that be... … .”
“Let’s ask them to bury that Nangin, So Jiung, and Cheongju Three Gorges. It will be better for the three treasures. Isn't it?”
Wang Inguk turned his gaze to Geumbulwi.
Gold was not denied.
“I will. He wouldn't want to gossip about it either. but… … .”
Geumbulwi slightly blurted out his words.
“Just what?”
“You should think about the compensation as well as the increased number.”
“How much does it usually take to use a person from the four generations?”
“There will be a fixed amount for knights who do honorable things, but… … . I know that assassination is a price.”
“Don’t go round and round and tell me clearly. How much will it be?”
Heochang is a small city, so there is no living clan.
He'd rather say that, but the maritime affairs department is taking care of the back.
So he had to see that it was what Geumbulwi called it.
"If it's five hundred for each head, I'll accept the three treasures without saying anything."
The collection office, who had been drawing estimates in his own mind, muttered with a shocked face.
"I hope it's not five hundred doors."
“Yes, five hundred nyang in hermitage.”
Su-geum-seo looked at Wang In-guk with a bewildered face.
Since there are five people to bury, it is said to pay 2,500 nyang.
The guy who trembled even at 100 or 200 is natural deok How dare you say such a thing!
But if you think about it, it makes sense.
That's because it's the price of the lives of the top-notch ronin, So Ji-ung, and the Cheongju Three Gorges.
At that time, Wang Inguk spoke in a determined tone.
"Jangju, 2,500 nyang is a lot of money, but if we share the burden in half, it's no big deal."
"That's right."
The collection office hesitated.
It's because it bothers me more than money to attract the party family, which is the fourth generation.
“There is no way So Ji-woong would overlook today’s incident. This is what started, so let's see the end. Either we kill him or he kills us. isn't it? An ark of gold?”
Geumbulwi shook his head.
“This is a wise statement. Like So Ji-woong, the Geonwonpyo Bureau will not just cover it. All of them must be buried in order to prevent the Geon Won Pyo Bureau from even setting foot in Heo Chang.”
Su-geum-seo, who was looking at Wang In-guk and Geumbul-wi, reluctantly opened her mouth.
“Okay. Half of it will be borne by our Chaoyang battlefield. Instead, you need to make sure you do the work. so that no one knows An ark of gold, you know?”
“That is exactly what Sambo Jeolmyung and I want. If this thing becomes widely known, it will be difficult for me to live the three treasures.”
When the murder contract was roughly finished, the collector rose from his seat.
“Let’s go to the Susimgak. It's not polite to keep guests waiting.”
His expression and manner of speaking were calm and confident.
The hesitant appearance a moment ago disappeared, and the dignity of the leaders of the giants of Heochang overflowed.
