Chapter 521 - People riding on the back of a tiger
next day.
Yeonjeokha, who was having breakfast at Hyeoncheonmun's restaurant, asked Jeongwoosaeng, who was next to him.
“Hyung Jung, I’m looking for someone, what should I do?”
“Ordinary people go to the prefectural office and ask for cooperation. However, if you are related to the sect, you will have to visit the sect. Is the person you are looking for a normal person?”
“Yes, I am not related to the clan.”
“In that case, the prefectural office would be the fastest.”
“Here at the county office of Shanyin County, only people in Shanyin County can know, right?”
"That's right. You should inquire at the prefectural office in the area where the person you are looking for is located.”
“What if you don’t know that?”
“Next, we should make a petition to the lord. Because the one who is above the wise is the lord of the castle.”
When the sound of the castle lord came out, Yeonjeokha let out a sigh.
It was because there was no good way to meet the lord of the castle, who was like the king of a country.
In fact, it was close to impossible for him, who was not good at human relations, to make friends with government officials, especially the castle lord.
Moreover, there are more than a dozen castles in the state, and at what age do you meet them!
"Aside from the prefectural office or the castle lord, are there any munpa or breakwater that can help you find people?"
From his point of view, it was easier to deal with unmanned officers than officials.
“There are breakwaters that do something similar. They said that they are also working together to survive. If the government office is rough, the breakwater may be better. Let's see, the Bangpa that does such a thing in Sanyin County... … . There is Hongikbang.”
“Hongikbang?”
“Yes, it is a breakwater that takes care of the dirty work and makes a living by receiving the reward money.”
Yeonjeokha nodded his head.
Seeing that it was a dirty job, it seems that there is a breakwater like Kangho's Haomun here.
When Yeon Jeok-ha showed interest in Hongikbang, Jung Woo-saeng asked.
“If you want, I will take you. If I know that Yeon So-hyeop is a guest at Hyeon Chun-moon, I will do my best at Hongikbang.”
“Thank you for doing so.”
I didn't hesitate to do it.
I thought of asking if it wasn't so, but I'm just grateful that you did it first.
***
Hongikbang.
Five seconds (11:00 a.m.).
This man and one woman visited Hongikbang.
It is Yeon Jeok-ha, Jeong Woo-saeng, and Gong Ji-yu who joined after hearing it belatedly.
There was no gatekeeper guarding it, so Woo-saeng Jeong pushed the door open and went inside first.
It was small enough to give a panoramic view at a glance.
Inside the high fence, there were only three palaces standing side by side.
As the three hesitated in the courtyard, a man approached.
“What did you come for?”
The man, Hong Ji-moon, glanced at Gong Ji-yu and Jeong Woo-saeng with her questionable eyes.
She was wondering why, as unmanned people rarely visited Hongik's room.
Jung Woo-saeng cleared his throat and said.
“Hum, I am a disciple of Hyeoncheonmun. I want to see the ark. Are you here?”
For a moment, Hong Ji-moon paused.
He was nervous about the visit of the largest munpa in Saneum-hyeon.
He immediately lowered his head.
“Now I see that you are from Hyeoncheonmun. The ark is inside. Please follow me.”
As Hong Ji-moon cringed, Jung Woo-saeng stretched his shoulders and smiled at Yeon Jeok-ha.
‘The power of Hyeoncheonmun is this much,’ he seemed to be saying.
Eventually, the three of them followed the man who was walking ahead.
Hong Ji-mun stopped in front of the hall with a plaque called Jaesegak.
“Ark, a guest has come from Hyeoncheonmun.”
As soon as he finished his words, an elderly man came out with hasty steps.
“Oops! You said you came from Hyeoncheonmun?”
Hongik's room The ark's Hong Inbi quickly ran through her three young men and women.
Two are armed, one is bare-handed.
However, he was so stubborn that he couldn't figure out who was the leader.
Jung Woo-saeng took the initiative.
“I am Jeong Woo-saeng, the second disciple of Hyeoncheonmun. We have brought a distinguished guest from Hyeoncheonmun.”
Along with the words, he pointed at the Yeonjeokha with his hand.
Only then did Inbi Hong recognize that the bare-handed young man was her guest of honor, and she greeted him.
“Nobu is called Inbi Hong, the owner of Hongikbang.”
“I am Yeonjeokha, the chief of the Shigyeongjang.”
“You are the master of the Seokgyeongjang. Now, let's not do this, let's eat inside.”
Hong In-bi brought Yeon Jeok-ha and her current astronomical students into the hall.
And as soon as her guests were seated, she asked right away.
“Yes, why did Yeon So-hyeop, the owner of Seokgyeongjang, come to the home?”
Hong In-bi said that even though she looked young, she was an honored guest of Hyeoncheonmun, so she treated him politely.
She said, “She’s looking for a girl named Namgoongyeon.”
“We can help you find it if you tell us your age and any recognizable features.”
“I am twenty-five, and I am beautiful. As if her fairy protruded from the picture. She must be the most outstanding beauty in the Savior. Oh, and you look much younger than your age.”
An awkward smile appeared on Hong In-bi's face.
Please tell me her characteristics. She is the most beautiful woman in Kuju.
'Well, it's a characteristic of its own... … .’
It is certainly easier to be ‘the most beautiful woman in the world’ than ‘ordinary woman’.
All she had to do was find out her name after seeking out a woman who was reputed to be beautiful.
But for that to happen, she has to be really beautiful.
“This is a rude question, but that woman named Nam Goong-yeon. Objectively, whoever sees it must be someone who can feel beautiful, right?”
Hong In-bi looked into her lover's eyes as if searching for them.
If she looked beautiful only in the eyes of that young man, it would be a waste of time, so she had to check it out.
“Of course.”
Seeing her deep and serene gaze in her lover's eyes, Hong In-bi nodded her head.
She didn't know 'God first', but it seemed to be true that she was beautiful.
"All right. If she's a beautiful woman, she's even easier to find. Because beauty cannot be hidden. She said that if the woman is in ‘Suyakju’, she won’t be long.”
Then, Jung Woo-saeng and Gong Ji-yu glanced at Yeonjeok-ha.
For some reason, the person looking for it seems to be in ‘Hansanju’ rather than ‘Suyakju’.
just as expected?
Yeonjeokha's answer followed.
“I’m not sure if it’s in ‘Suyakju’. I was told she would have gone to ‘She is Hansanju’.”
At that moment, Jung Woo-saeng and Gong Ji-yu found something strange in his words.
I heard that you went to 'Hansanju'?
In the end, it is said that ‘Hansanju’ is just someone’s guess.
The worn-out Hong In-bi also paid attention to that fact.
“She’s not even sure that the woman is in ‘Hansanju’, is she? Is that correct?"
"yes. She just knows she’s on ‘The Savior’.”
Yeon Jeok-ha looked at her red-in-bi with her embarrassed face.
If she didn't know how wide 'Savior' was, she might not have been at all.
But to some extent she was faceless now that she had come to know the 'savior'.
She said Hong Inbi with her perplexed face.
“Yeonsohyup. As you know, it is not easy to find a person in ‘Savior’ by name only. No, to be honest, it's close to impossible. That's not something a single breakwater can do.”
“I know. Still, I heard that there are Bangpas that keep in touch with each other in Hongikbang?”
“That’s true, but that only works in ‘Suyakju’. In ‘Hansanju’, you have to go and leave the breakwater that does that.”
“Then, try at least ‘Suyakju’. Because that would be much better than looking for the lord of thirteen castles.”
When Yeon Jeok-ha offered her compromise, Hong In-bi did not refuse.
"All right. In that case, we, Hong Ik-bang, will be in charge of finding Sojeo Namgung-yeon in ‘Suyakju’.”
He once again nailed the place to 'Suyakju'.
It was worth trying if it was just to find a person within 'Suyakju'.
"Thank you."
“However, it would cost quite a bit to find someone in ‘Suyakju’.”
Inbi Hong glanced at the complexion of Yeonjeokha.
If you want to investigate not only ‘Choyangseong’ but also ‘Suyakju’ as a whole, Hongikbang has limitations.
“How much?”
“Even if you can’t do it, you have to give me a hundred nyang.”
“… … .”
He didn't say anything for a moment at the amount beyond his imagination.
Thirty nyang of gold is all his property, but he needs 100 nyang.
Jung Woo-saeng said a word for the huge amount.
“Lord Hong, why are you asking for such a large amount of money to find someone?”
Gongjiyu also helped.
“I mean. 100 gold coins to find someone? He didn't even carry a knife, but he's no different from a robber.”
Then, Hong In-bi said with an unfair face.
“Did Nobu ever talk white in front of Hyeoncheonmun? It is to investigate thirteen castles. It is impossible with the power of Hongikbang alone. Imagine subcontracting breakwaters in a dozen different provinces. Honestly, 100 gold is the amount I called with the intention of not leaving a penny behind.”
“… … .”
Jung Woo-saeng and Gong Ji-yu couldn't refute and only sighed deeply.
Are you sure you don't know if it's 'Joyangseong'?
If it were to investigate all thirteen castles, it seemed that even a hundred pieces of gold would be tight.
After thinking for a while, Yeon Jeok-ha put a bag containing 30 nyang of gold on the table.
“It’s 30 gold coins. I'll give you the rest when it's ready."
Hong In-bi looked at Yeon Jeok-ha with her strange eyes.
No matter how much you are a VIP of Hyeoncheonmun, how can you give away a large sum of money without a contract?
'This is only Hou-dae, but it's a Hogu!'
He quickly grabbed the money bag in case the other person would change his mind.
And he said with a benevolent smile on his face.
“Yeonsohyeop, our Hongikbang will put everything aside and cling to Yeonsohyeop’s request. I hope the person you are looking for is in ‘Suyakju’, but if you don’t have one, don’t be too disappointed.”
He was ecstatic inwardly.
There is nothing ambiguous like finding a person.
It's good if you find it, but it's okay if you can't find it.
He didn't even know where he was, so he could just pretend and stop.
At that time, a blue natural fire shone in Yeonjeokha's eyes.
“Let me formally introduce myself. I am Yeonjeokha, a disciple of Gong Yaja and Cheongbulno. Hong Ark, can you risk your life to keep what you just said?”
“Nothing. Although I am the owner of a small breakwater, I do not say two words with one mouth. It's late, but should we sign the contract now?”
"no. You do not need to write a contract. Because the life of the ark is more certain than a piece of paper. From today, please do your best with 'your heart and soul' for my request. If 'heat If you don't do your best, the ark won't see the sun rise the next day. The death of the ark means Hongikbang deceived me, so I will destroy Hongikbang. Do you agree?”
According to Hong In-bi’s throat, her dry saliva ‘gubbled’.
If you don't do your 'heat and sex', you will die?
I don't know what kind of ghost washing and forgetting sound it is.
It was creepy enough to make her downy hair stand on end, but I couldn't refuse to say I couldn't do it now.
“Alright, I agree. But can you really not have a contract? Even though I don't care... … .”
"are you okay. Because the promise is enough. As I have said again and again, if you want to live, do your best.”
“Haha, yes, of course. We have been in Shanyin County for over twenty years. In all these years, we have never disappointed our guests.”
“I don’t know how it was before, but it should be now.”
Yeonjeokha stood up with the horse.
Jeong Woo Saeng said a word to Hong In-bi, who woke up after her, in response to her old age.
“Hong Bang-ju, Yeon So-hyeop is someone who has reached the stage of ‘Yeon-heo’, so please don’t be disappointed.”
“… … .”
In an instant, Inbi Hong's face hardened.
They said that it was the jangju of Seokgyeongjang, but what was the meaning of the state of ‘Yeonheo’!
'Couldn't he be riding on the tiger's back?'
***
Hyeoncheonmun.
It is time for Yeon Jeok-ha, who returned from Hongikbang, to take a walk in the yard after lunch.
Gong Ji-sub approached with urgent steps.
“Yeon Sohyup, did you hear the story?”
“What are you talking about?”
“The master of ‘Soyojong’ invited by Munju is now at ‘Sunwoogak’.”
