Chapters 1123 – 1124. Reasons for Betrayal.

Squeak

Took

Degururr

Gaejakdu slammed down and severed Woo-gwang’s neck.

And Woo-gwang’s severed head began to roll on the floor.

With red blood splattered all over the place.

“An old house.”

The provincial commander of Guangxi Province, Baek Gwang, who was watching the scene, called the old house of Doji Hui.

“New old house! I have answered the call!”

Then, the old house of Comrade Do Ji-hwi, who was in the back, jumped out and answered loudly.

“Carry the neck of this weightlifter in a chilly place and preserve it carefully. The head must not rot until it is offered to His Highness the King..”

Baek-gwang glanced at Woo-gwang’s head, which was lying on the floor, and continued.

“I’ll follow your orders!”

To that order, Gotaek replied loudly.

And immediately, he started grabbing the neck of Woo-gwang, who was lying on the floor.

It was such a terrible look that it was disgusting to even dare to hold hands

The old house didn’t seem to care at all.

And immediately started walking outside.

It was to keep Woo-gwang’s appearance fresh.

“Damn!”

When the old house left, Baek Gwang called the provincial commanding officer, Hwang Pae this time.

“God Hwangpae! The call has been answered!”

Then, Do Commander Hwangpae, who was in the back, stepped forward and answered with a loud voice.

“Immediately lead the soldiers to arrest all the members of the Myeonyang Hyangwoo. And interrogate them to see if they are involved in this treason.”

“I’ll follow your orders!”

Hwangpae replied with a loud voice.

And immediately led the soldiers and began to go outside.

In order to faithfully carry out the mandate of Baek Gwang.
Trudge trudge

Soon after, the soldiers withdrew all at once, and only the provincial commander, Baek Gwang, and the head of the Myeonyang regional association, Hong Hak-cheol, remained in the room.

“…”

“…”

When there are only two people left

A heavy silence began to flow in the room.

Baek Kwang and Hong Hak-cheol

This was because both of them kept their mouths firmly shut.

How long was the silence

Rumble

Shortly thereafter, cold sweat began to flow on Hong Hak-cheol’s forehead.

It was because he was completely overwhelmed by Baek-gwang’s bloody eyes staring at him without saying anything.

‘It’s cold…’

Incidentally, it felt like daggers were flying and stabbing me just by looking at them.

Woo-gwang, who faced those eyes and rebelled against them, felt amazing again.

How can you say such a bloody look, spit out ridiculous lies and rebel?

‘I’m a bastard.’

In terms of distribution alone, he must be a guy whose size is twice his own.

It was when I was thinking such foolish thoughts.

“Shouldn’t we definitely finish it with you too?”

Baek Gwang, who was staring at Flamingo Cheol with bloody eyes, slowly opened his mouth.

“…That’s right. Adult.”

Finish remained.

Together with Woo-gwang, they tried to scorn the king.

That is the end of his treatment.

“I’ll ask straight forward. The head of the local union.”

“Tell me.”

“Why did you betray Woo-gwang?”

Baek-gwang continued with a questioning expression on his face.

“I heard that you wrote an appeal like Woo-gwang. An appeal to be filed with the upper ranks you are against. This is definitely an act of treason. Also, the head will be cut off with a dog head.”

Hong Hak-cheol revealed Woo-gwang’s infidelity and confessed himself.

He confessed to the appeal

This was clearly an act of treason.

I was curious because

How can you bear the risk of treason yourself?

Is it because he accused Woo-gwang?

“It’s simple. In person.”

Hong Hak-cheol spoke in a calm tone.

“Because I didn’t join the treason.”

“What? Didn’t you say that you posted Sangso together with Woogwang? But how do you avoid being accused of treason?”

“It’s true that I wrote the appeal together, but I didn’t file the appeal myself.”

“Didn’t you file an appeal?”

Baek-gwang asked him back, his eyes shining.

It was because he was interested in Baek-gwang’s unexpected answer.

“Yes. I wrote the appeal together, but I changed my mind at the end and didn’t post the appeal. How can you, as a citizen, dare to think of scorning the imperial family? It’s absurd.”

“That’s strange, I heard from Woo-gwang that you sent a letter together?”

Baek Gwang stroked his chin and asked him back.

It was because he questioned the allegations that were completely different from what he had heard during the interrogation of Woo-gwang.

“It is an undeniable fact that Woo-gwang and Jeonseo-gu were fired at the same time. But the message didn’t reach them.

“Did you intercept the edict?”

“That’s right. On the day of the flight, he ordered his subordinates to retrieve the transcript.”

Hong Hak-cheol began to reveal the truth of the day in a calm tone.

Collaborate with Woo Kwang

The day I flew the telegram

Hong Hak-cheol had his men intercept the message in the middle.

It was to prevent the letter from reaching the prince.

In the end, only Woo Kwang was able to file an appeal close to treason.

‘… What a poisonous guy.’

Hearing this, Baek-gwang put on an expression that seemed to be incredulous.

It was because he could understand all the circumstances that happened between Woo-gwang and Hong Hak-cheol.

Hong Hak-cheol dug a trap to bury Woo-gwang.

Weaved into the terrible sin of treason.

So that I can never get out again

‘To use the imperial family to eliminate political enemies…’

Woo-gwang, who was being interrogated, insisted.

Hong Hak-cheol came unexpectedly

He said he was motivating himself

It is said that he induced them to make an appeal close to treason.

If the claim is true

I was able to infer to some extent.

Hong Hak-cheol’s big picture to get rid of Woo-gwang.

“It’s really evil. Thinking of using the imperial family to eliminate political enemies.”

Baek Gwang clicked his tongue and continued.

“I just changed my mind halfway through… How could I dare to use the imperial family for personal gain?”

Hong Hak-cheol made a fuss by waving his hands.

To remove static

The fact that he used the imperial family was also

It was an act close to contempt.

There is no choice but to urgently withdraw.

“I heard that you directly collided with Woo-gwang?”

Baek-gwang glared at him with suspicious eyes and continued.

“It’s Woo-gwang’s lie. It was Woo-gwang who pushed me to submit the petition. I was just distracted for a moment by Woo-gwang’s cunning tongue. Please trust me, Daein.”

At Baek Gwang’s question, Hong Hak-cheol immediately made a fool of himself.

Of course it was a lie

His mouth movements were unstoppable.

The only witness anyway

Woo-gwang was about to climb Mt. Bukmang after his throat was cut.

You just have to put all your sins on the back.

The dead don’t talk.

‘Shameless guy.’

Baek-gwang, realizing what he was thinking, clicked his tongue inwardly.

But he didn’t openly bruise him.

If we look only at the circumstances

He was a great whistleblower who reported Woo-gwang.

How can you bruise him with just a heart attack?

“Okay, I’ll trust you.”

Soon after, Baek-gwang opened his mouth as if he agreed.

It was just meant to pass.

Unlike Woo-gwang, Hong Hak-cheol did not cross the final line.

“Thank you, thank you. In-person.”

Flamingo Cheol began to bend his waist with a thrilled expression on his face.

It was because he was able to recognize Baek-gwang’s intention not to make it a problem.

Now you won’t have to worry about getting your neck blown off by being entangled with Woo-gwang.

It was a time when I was so relieved.

“Instead, there are some conditions.”

Baek-gwang continued talking with his cold eyes twinkling.

“Joe.. Condition?”

“Yes. I changed my mind, but isn’t it also true that I thought of treason? Wouldn’t I have to pay the penalty?”

“…That’s right. Daein, just say the word, I’ll do anything to pay for my sins.”

Hong Hak-cheol continued with a polite attitude.

If only my neck could not fly away

It was because he thought it would be good to follow something.

“It makes sense, good posture.”

Did you like that polite attitude?

Baek Gwang let out a satisfied smile.

“Then, the first condition is support for capital relocation.”

“…You mean support for the relocation of the capital?”

“Yes, it will take a considerable amount of manpower to relocate the capital. Let your organization fill it.”

“…At the local union… You mean!?”

“Yes, it’s a very lenient punishment, isn’t it, considering treason?”

Baek-gwang continued with a kind smile.

“…That…That’s right.”

Facing that smile, Hong Hak-cheol reluctantly agreed.

It was because if he didn’t agree, he would cut his throat at any moment.

“And let the second condition reverse public opinion.”

“Reversing public opinion? What is that…?”

“I heard that public opinion on the relocation of the capital is very bad.

“It’s too much. The relocation of the capital is the dissatisfaction of all the local residents of Myeonyang. How can we put it to rest!?”

“I’m not saying to put it to sleep at all. It’s just to keep it quiet until the capital relocation is complete.”

“…But…How…?”

“Isn’t that your business? Why are you asking me?”

Baek-gwang asked with a puzzled look on his face.

‘Dog-like bastard…’

And Hong Hak-cheol, who heard that, swallowed the curse in his heart.

It was because Baek-gwang’s unreasonable request naturally filled him with insults.

Just black, black

Wasn’t it a fist-pumping coercion?

“The third and final condition is…”

“Again…Are you there!?!”

Hong Hak-cheol asked with a sad expression on his face.

My head feels like it’s going to explode with just two, but how can I add one more condition?

“Don’t you like it?”

Baek-gwang looked at him with cold eyes and asked.

“Ah… No… I was just surprised for a moment.”

Facing those eyes, Flamingo Cheol immediately rolled his tail.

It was because he had no intention of rebelling.

“Yes, it should be. The last condition should be much easier than the others. So don’t be intimidated.”

“…Okay.”

Hearing that, Hong Hak-cheol’s expression began to improve.

Fortunately, it was because it did not seem to be in the same dire conditions as before.

“Tell me straight up. Make a donation.”

“A donation? What kind of donation?”

Hong Hak-cheol asked again with an expression as if he did not know.

“Didn’t Your Highness the King undertake a large-scale project of relocating the capital for the development of Sacheon and balance the region? Can the people of Sacheon, who benefit from the King’s Highness, stay still? Shouldn’t we make a donation to support His Highness?”

“Then…Then…How much… The donation?”

“Your name is worth it, so I think about 100,000 nyang would be appropriate.”

“One hundred…Million! How can you say that I have that kind of money!”

“I heard that the size of the organization is about the same as that of Myeonyang Hyangwoo Association…Is that correct?”

“That’s it, but…”

“Then, one million pieces should be enough. I’m sure the Hyangwoo Association will be able to raise that amount as well.”

“I’m sure it’s possible, but if that amount goes out all at once… The local union will go bankrupt!”

“So, isn’t there a good system of loans? First, get a loan, make a donation, and pay it off slowly.”

Baek-gwang smiled softly and continued.

“…”

And Hong Hak-cheol, who heard that, was silent with a dumbfounded expression on his face.

I’m so dumbfounded

It was because the words didn’t come out.

Soliciting loans for donations

You’re a provincial commander

This crazy guy

How can it exist in the world?

“You can refuse if you feel like it’s too much. I have no intention of forcing you.”

When he didn’t say anything, Baek-gwang opened his mouth with a calm expression.

‘Jung..Really!?”

“Really, I’m going to think seriously about your crime instead, about the fact that I heard that you dared to despise the king, even though you changed your mind in the middle.”

‘Fuck.’

Hearing Baek Kwang’s words, Hong Hak-cheol spat out curse words.

It was because he could recognize that it was a threat.

Unless you give me a million

To be tied up with treason

It’s an obvious threat.

“…Coming to think of it… I think we can raise a donation.”

“Isn’t that overdoing it?”

“Oh.. No. These days, the loan regulations on the battlefield are so well… That I should be able to get a loan of about 1 million.”

Haha, you are a true patriot. Your Highness will surely be delighted.”

“Ha… Haha… To hear that His Majesty is happy… I’m naturally full of joy… Haha…”

Hong Hak-cheol began to laugh forcibly.

In my heart, I wanted to shed bloody tears

If you don’t take care of your face

It was because I thought that that madman might do something stupid.

“Okay, then let’s go to the battlefield together right away.”

“Now… You mean!?”

“Didn’t I tell you to remove the iron horn as well? When you make a decision, act immediately so that you don’t have any regrets.”

Baek-gwang smiled and continued.

“…Okay.”

“Come on, then let’s take the lead.”

Took

Baek Gwang lightly pushed Hong Hak-cheol’s shoulder.

“…Okay…I’ll guide you.”

At the push, Flamingo Cheol started moving his steps with his shoulders drooping.

With an expression as if he would die at any moment.

And Baek Gwang began to follow Hong Hak-cheol’s footsteps.

With a very satisfied expression on his face.
.
.
.
.
On that day, Baek Gwang, the provincial commander, was able to get his hands on a huge amount of about 3 million nyang.

Two million nyang, which disposed of Woogwang’s personal assets and the assets of the Myeonyang Association,

It was an amount including 1 million nyang donated by Hong Hak-cheol.

And the three million nyang went to Tangga in Sichuan Chengdu.

King of four thousand

It is to be dedicated to the Sunwoo.
