Chapter 106
“let’s go together. Anti-acid check.”
“yes?”
“It is exactly as Confucius Qin heard it. I also have some business to do at the Hangsan Checkpoint.”
“What’s up?”
“I guess you can’t say that? Because I also have a clear public and private side.”
I gave it back and received it in words.
The words I just said came back intact. Wolhwa’s smile grew thicker as she saw me embarrassed.
“It’s a joke. I have something to receive from the port inspection. To be precise, I decided to receive it from Taewonjinga.”
“what… … ah.”
There is a memory that suddenly comes to mind. A secret pact between Taewon Jinga and Haomun when the war against Hengshan Checkpoint was in full swing.
‘Did you promise to receive ownership of the land owned by Hengshan Police Station in return for providing information?’
Hao-wen, no, Wol-hwa kept his promise. It was because of her help that he was able to destroy the vanguard of the Hangshan checkpoint in the early days of the war.
Taiyuan Chenjia received many help from Haomen after that and finally won the war, but the problem was after that.
“As Gongja Jin knows, our position has become a bit strange. We won the war, but we can’t get our hands on the loot.”
weak meat diet. It is the law of Moorim that the strong devour the weak.
But the arrival of the Grand Elder ruined everything. From the moment it was revealed that Taewon Jin-ga and Hangsan checkpoint were playing with his trick, the justification for taking the spoils became blurred.
‘That’s why we proceed with the merger.’
Now is the time to put away the sword and talk with the brush. The picture drawn by Jin Wi-gyeong is to absorb quietly and smoothly within the scope of not cursing by the world.
Moonhwa wants to be compensated before then
“If the Hengshan Inspectorate accepts our offer, then you can ask for compensation.”
“That is only possible when Taewon Jinga is a loser, not the leader of Shanseo Province. In the current situation, if you try to steal it, other small and medium-sized munpa will also step out. Furthermore… … For a moment, she looked at me with her meaningful eyes and shook her head.
What the hell is it?
“Besides, what?”
“no. Well, anyway, I got an offer from Lord Soga.”
Wolhwa puffed out her smoking pipe and continued.
“They said they would hand over property equivalent to what they had promised, or the area managed by Taewon Jinga.”
I don’t think that’s good enough, but it’s different when you think about it from the point of view of the head of a group rather than an individual.
‘They probably want to expand their field of activity.’
The essence of Wolhwa is neither a courtesan nor the owner of an inn, but an information merchant.
It was clear that he wanted to use this opportunity to expand Haomen’s influence to the northern part of Shanxi Province, which was relatively weak due to the blocking of the Hengshan checkpoint.
‘It’s Jinwigyeong. Of course, I’d like Taiwon Jinga to cover all of Shanxi Province.’
It is the Jinga of Taiwon, which has been exerting enormous influence in the central and southern parts of Shanxi Province for a long time. Handing over a few net exhaust areas will not diminish the influence you have accumulated so far.
‘This is just that. Redevelopment area.’
The Hangsan Checkpoint, which held the northern part tightly and prevented the influx of outside forces, is collapsing. After the green belt was lifted and the area became a redevelopment area, the push and pull between Jinwigyeong and Wolhwa began.
‘Both of them are no joke.’
Yesterday’s allies have become today’s competitors.
People feel once again today that what they see is not everything.
“So I’m going to meet our cute new lord Moon, ask for debts, and accompany him to the Hangsan checkpoint… … how is it?”
I answered without thinking further.
“I will refuse.”
“Wow, isn’t that too assertive?
They cut it like a knife before even hearing the terms of the deal.”
“I can’t be a younger brother and sprinkle dung on my older brother’s path.”
Even though they are not blood related, it has been a long time since they have already accepted his existence and this Moorim in a corner of their hearts.
Hmm.”
Wolhwa, who had been looking at me gently, put down the smoking pipe.
“I do. then.”
“Ah, yes.”
I thought I would seduce you a few more times, but I give up right away.
Well, from my point of view, the story ends quickly, so I feel comfortable.
“Enough then.”
He slaps Hyuk Moo-jin, who is still sitting with his mouth sealed, and gets up from his seat. At that time, Wolhwa smiled strangely and said,
“Ah, can you tell Jin So-hyeop?
The old pine in the backyard is expensive, so please be careful with the training.”
It is an inn run by the best information merchant in Shanxi Province. It must be the same as having been able to read even the internal organs since entering this place.
“I see.”
“If you need anything, just tell me.
This is a request from Prince Jin, and I have to get you everything.”
As soon as I glanced at her winking and left the room, I remembered something I had forgotten for a while.
“Mujin-ah, why are you teasing your snout so carelessly?”
f*ck! f*ck! f*ck!
“Bad, bad, bad!”
One hit, one hit.
In the outbuilding that came back like that, several old pine trees that were neatly cut and Jin Moo-gyeong with a happy face were waiting for them.
“It tastes like cutting.”
I want to cut that guy down someday.
A quiet room. Wol-hwa, who had been smoking a smoke pipe for a while, opened her mouth long after Jin Tae-gyeong left.

“Did you notice what I ordered the other day?”
Hao Mundo, who was waiting outside the room, answered in a low voice.
“It’s all you checked before I left. We are gathering additional information… … “
“Is there anything more to come?”
“Yes, it is slim.”
“rarefaction? So, isn’t that a possibility? keep digging I’ll give you plenty of time, so don’t rush. You know that if Taewon and Jin touch each other, we won’t be able to look good either, right?”
“Johnny.”
What caught Hao Mundo, who was about to leave, was a word from the ensuing Wolhwa.
“In less than two months, a third-rate scumbag has become a Shanxi dragon. What do you think?”
“it’s possible. As rumors say.”
“Ah, that.”
Wolhwa burst out laughing. It’s a rumor that started spreading after Jin Tae-gyeong defeated Jo-pil.
All of Jin Tae-kyung’s appearances so far have been camouflage, and in fact, there are rumors that he has learned martial arts with full support since childhood.
Now, the story has spread to the extent that no one knows about it throughout Shanxi Province.
“Do you believe that?”
“It is an absurd rumor. but… … .”
“People believe. Not because I’m stupid, but because I have to believe it. But not us.”
Shanxi is already a periphery that is not even treated by the central plains, but Haomen has been constantly gathering information.
There is no need to mention the direct descendant of Taewon Jinga, an influential family in Shanxi Province.
The only mistake was not accurately identifying the elders who were active during the chaotic war years.
However, the information about Jin Tae-kyung is close to perfect.
“Alcohol, women, gambling. I was indolent from a young age and was only interested in playing. It makes me wonder if there was a person like him in the history of Taewon Jinga.”
“Two years ago, that was the first order the branch manager gave as soon as he took office.”
“that’s right. Grasp the overall trend in Shanxi. And Jin Tae-gyeong intensive investigation.”
Bondi talent is a law that is inherited.
The direct descendants of Taewon’s Jin family were the owners of outstanding military talent for generations, and the current family head and his two sons, who were regarded as virtuosos, were no exception.
Among them, Jin Tae-gyeong’s presence was so conspicuous that Hao-wen began to investigate.
“The results were futile.”
“It really came out exactly what it looked like.”
There was nothing special about him except that his muscles and veins were slightly outstanding, probably thanks to his family bloodline.
“Did I miss something then?”
“He used to sleep in Giru once every two days. Isn’t martial arts lacking even if you sleep less and learn it?”
“I know, I know.”
Wolhwa is a person who has learned martial arts to a fairly mature level among the first-class.
I couldn’t have known about him.
She sucked in a pipe in frustration and let out a long breath.
“In the end, there is only one answer.”
“That’s right.”
Jin Tae-kyung went from third-rate to top-notch in just over two months. Wol-hwa was stunned by the conclusion she had made herself, but there was nothing she could do about it.
“Pretend there were no instructions given earlier.
Don’t ask or try to find out more about him. Issuing an order to keep quiet so that no one mentions it.”
“John name. I will keep it clear.”
“Oh, and one more. I’m leaving early tomorrow, so be prepared.”
“Who are you planning to take?”
“alone.”
“Chief, that is.”
“It’s an order.”
“… … honorable name.”
When the subordinates withdrew, silence descended on the guest room. Wolhwa thought as she brushed off the charred tobacco leaves.
‘Jin Tae-gyeong.’
If everything he has done so far is true, the northern interests he has to gain from the Hengshan Checkpoint are nothing.
‘Could there be anyone who has grown this fast in all ages?’
Looking at the seat where Jin Tae-kyung was sitting, her eyes sank deeply.
the next morning.
It was only after I met the person in charge of the outbuilding that I felt that the problem had broken out.
“25 nyang for lodging, 5 nyang for food, and 50 nyang for property damage. The total is 80 hermits.”
Hyuk Moo-jin, who had been exulting over the fact that he had robbed the bandits yesterday, opened his mouth wide.
“Vandalence? 50 hermits?”
“When I went to Huwon, I saw that five old pine trees had fallen.”
It is the tree that was said to be expensive.
Hyuk Moo-jin and I turned our heads at the same time. When their eyes met, Jin Moo-kyung flinched and opened his mouth.
“I got drunk when I opened my sword.”
“… … No, Shiva. Can I cut everything that gets in my way when I get drunk? uh?”
Hyuk Moo-jin couldn’t say anything and only let out a sigh of anger.
From the looks of it, it was clear that the money owed exceeded the expenses. But if it’s just a little bit, I might be able to find an agreement… … .
“Mujin-ah, how much do you have now?”
“Forty cats.”
The point of agreement is plague. no chin
“Are you traumatized?”
It was the moment when the gentle smile on the lips of the person in charge of the annex disappeared.
“Gongja Jin, what are you doing here?”
A beauty dressed in a sky-high palace approaches toward us.
For us now, the appearance of Wolhwa was like a lifeline.
It bothers me that you were adamant about her proposal last night, but this is not the time to cover things up.
“No, that’s it…”
When I explained the situation, Wol-hwa opened her eyes wide.
“Eighty? It can’t be.”
“Yes? It seems a bit wrong.”
“Give me that.”
She receives the bamboo stick the person in charge was holding and begins to read it.
It was clear that the calculations were firmly wrong, seeing as he gradually frowned.
‘That’s right.’
Before long, a cold voice flowed from Wolhwa’s lips as she finished reading the bamboo strip.
“Aren’t you doing the right thing?”
“I’m sorry.”
“Who are these people who dare to do things like this… … Write the price straight down.”
Hyukmujin whispered in a low voice.
“You’re welcome.”
“I know. I almost went to wash the dishes.”
“What kind of trouble are you going through because of Lee Gongja-nim?”
“Don’t even mention that person. You get cancer just by listening to it.”
“What is cancer?”
“… … Yes, that’s not good.”
In the meantime, the person in charge who fixed the price while sweating profusely bowed down and apologized to us.
“sorry. I committed rudeness because I was short-tempered.”
Hyuk Moo-jin was greeted with an arrogant attitude.
“Next time, don’t do that. You have to joke around while watching your opponent. So how much?”
“It’s 100 and 5 silver coins and 23 pieces of iron.”
“……?”
“……?”
what is this. is it a dream
My head automatically turns toward Wolhwa.
“What are you talking about, that?”
“He cut the price on his own because he was an acquaintance of mine. How dare you look at the children of Dae Tae-won and Jin-ga? I apologize again.”
“Sorry for not seeing you!”
“that… … I asked in a choked voice.
“Is it traumatic? of course.”
“I can’t. of course. Not once in all these years.”
“How about setting a precedent this time?”
“I don’t think so yet. We should look for the next opportunity.”
Wolhwa added with a bright smile.
“Anything else you want to say?”
“… … Ha, Hangshan.”
“I beg your pardon?”
I closed my eyes and continued.
“Do you want to go to Hangsan Checkpoint with me?”
“Wow, that’s nice.”
what a hideous laugh At Wolhwa’s gesture, the person in charge carries a bamboo stick and disappears at the speed of light.
“I won’t have to worry about travel expenses in the future.”
While there were people like Hyuk Moo-jin who accepted the reality, there were also people who shouted against the death toll.
“gibberish! How could he take a woman along on the way to carry out family duties!”
“Then come clean the dishes here.”
“Among these, the hand of the person who cut the cypress?”
Jin Moo-gyeong did not raise her hand, and Wol-hwa greeted him by slightly lifting the hem of her skirt.
“Please take care of me. Jin Sohyup.”
