Chapter 57 – Chapter 12 (2)

“The amount is so large that it won’t be possible to clean it up in a day or two. And the price is 4 Nyang for Geumja and 17 Nyang for Hermit.”
“Geumja 4… Hermit… Hmm?”

Jincheon’s expression frowned as he rummaged through his pockets.
It’s because the hermit is 10 nyang short.
He looked annoyed that he couldn’t make the request because of only 10 hermits, but thinking about it, he was also fortunate.

“I’m short of 10 nyang right now. Didn’t I just say I couldn’t get it sorted out for a day or two? Then I’ll come back in a few days. I’ll leave this as an advance payment.”

Jincheon entrusted 4 nyang of gold to Shim Eun-nang, saying that he would bring 10 more nyang of hermit later.

This often happens because the value of the information the customer thinks and the value of the information judged by the sunspots are different.

However, it is common to give only half of the advance payment, but Jincheon gave it as 4 gold or an advance payment.

“It’s really absurd. You’re going to entrust this kind of money to a subject who has almost half-turned Hao-wen into an enemy?”
“It doesn’t matter if you try to gulp and kill me. I’m also very frustrated because I fight while controlling my strength for fear of killing people. To be honest, I would be grateful if you attacked me because you wanted to see how far my power would work against you.”

Oh oh oh oh–!!

In an instant, Jincheon, who had acted like an idiot until now, started spreading life and vigor with a smile like a battle maniac.

Rumble!

At the same time, those who were hiding inside the wall penetrated the wall and broke into it in an instant.

‘This… You have this kind of momentum!’
‘Danger… Do… !’

Others were clearly nervous about Jincheon’s momentum.
In general, the momentum that a Murim person exudes follows the character of that person.
That’s why Jincheon’s momentum was similar to that of a massacre that would kill everything in sight, so everyone had to be wary.

‘He wasn’t just a mouthful.’

However, Shim Eun-nang showed a more calm appearance in this situation.
If you are in a high position, you often come face to face with masters, so this is easier to deal with than Jincheon, who is intrusive.

‘For a moment. He has such skills, and no one knows his face despite being a master. Then…’

At that time, Sim Eun-nang, who thought of something that bothered her while managing Hao-men and Sunspot, opened her mouth in the same voice as usual, even though she was suppressed by her momentum.

“I have one important suggestion to make.”
“An important suggestion?”
“If you accept my offer, I will give you the information you want without charge. Plus more information than you said.”

When Shim Eun-nang asked for a proposal out of the blue, Jincheon, who had reduced his momentum, looked around and faced the bodyguards one by one.

“Well? It seems to me that this is not a very suitable place to make an important proposal.”
“I agree this time. Everyone get out. I don’t need a guard.”
“Ah…Lady! This one is dangerous!”

One of her men, ready to escort her from the space beyond her walls, opened her mouth.

“Now, I will ignore my words, is this it?”
“But…”

Although the level of martial arts was not high, they were intimidated by the sense of intimidation contained in their voices.

“This man is overly arrogant, overly arrogant, and overly resourceful, but judging from what he has done so far, he has kept the bare minimum. There are people who have been injured, but no one has died.”
“Oh, you know me too well. It feels like I’m naked?”
“Shut up because if you open your mouth it’ll break the flow.”
“Yes.”

Jincheon also kept his mouth shut this time, probably knowing that fussing here would only lead to useless time.

“What are you doing? Didn’t you hear me tell you to get out?”
“…If you feel it’s dangerous, give me a signal at any time.”

Unable to overcome her argument, the bodyguards eventually all left, leaving only Jincheon and Sim Eunnang in the room.

“If you want to keep it quiet after going this far, it means that there is a problem that is difficult to tell others.”
“Hao Mun is doing several illegal things.”

Shim Eun-nang quietly began to rhyme.

“It ranges from trafficking to illegal gambling establishments that are not recognized by the government, but there is only one thing they don’t do.”
“Let me guess. Human trafficking?”
“…How did you know?”
“Because if you buy and sell people, you will be beaten by the factionists. In particular, no matter how uncooperative Hao Mun is, even if it is a large-scale clan, if a clan of this scale engages in human trafficking, there is a limit for the Murim people or the government to look after it. There is.”

Jincheon added an additional explanation there.

“And unlike the western region, where many countries are entangled and sell slaves rather than kill them, isn’t this a trend where the act of buying and selling people itself is taboo due to Confucianism? It makes a difference, but even Haomen is a bit like buying and selling people.”

To be honest, I was surprised.
I couldn’t have imagined that Jincheon would have this level of judgment and intelligence.

In addition, this appearance of a man named Jincheon that he had seen so far was very different from what he had seen so far.

‘It’s a typical structure of a human being who can’t learn just by looking at the way he speaks… The explanation I just gave you was only possible when you had extensive knowledge of the West Station. I guess I’ll have to look behind me…’

“So? What is the relationship between human trafficking and the request you are making?”

Shim Eun-nang, who decided to investigate Jincheon later, decided to solve the immediate problem first.

“A number of disappearances have occurred in Akyang over the past few months. At first, some women and children from the slums went missing, but as time went on, the number started to increase, and even the gisaengs we managed started to disappear. .”

Jincheon sat comfortably and quietly listened to her words.

“As a result of investigation, I found out that some nameless dark gangsters gathered and did this. So I sent an appropriate person to stop human trafficking…”
“If it was resolved there, there would be no reason for this story to come out.”
“All the people I sent went missing. Later, a corpse was found in a corner of Dongting Lake that looked just like one of the people I sent.”

She sent a few more people, but each time they went missing and were found as bodies in Tongdong Lake, and Shim Eun-nang, enraged by this, pushed the number through a large-scale operation.

They subdued the human traffickers, but those caught were mere small puppies.

The real thing was that it had already been a long time since he had heard the news and escaped.
All the minnows caught were black swordsman who were hired to pay a lot of money.

As time passed, the traffickers popped up again, and when people were sent, they were dealt with, and when a large number of people were mobilized, they cut off their tails and run away.

“There’s a spy inside Haomen.”
“Yes. But Haomen is a clan that has courtesans, black swordsmen, and all sorts of lower classes. That’s why it’s almost impossible to find the spy.”

There she got to the point.

“Large-scale operations are meaningless, so I’m going to attack the human traffickers once again with a small elite group. Only then can I grab their heads, arms, or torso.”
“And you want me to participate in a surprise attack with that small elite?”
“Yes. It’s a diversion. I’ll tell you the date and time of the operation, so please attack the location I said at that time. I intend to know this only by myself, and I will not tell the dispatched masters either.”

In other words, Shim Eun-nang intends to use Jincheon as a trump card that only he knows.

“I understand what you mean. Ah, then since it’s a matter of risking one’s life, will you do me two small favors? It’s a problem that can be easily solved if it’s Hao Mun.”
“What is it?”
“Can I upgrade this to a black or gold plate? It’s a waste of time to have to ask for a wooden shield with my skills.”

Jincheon showed her own ronin plaque.
Through that, she was able to intuit that Jincheon was a newcomer who went to the island after training somewhere around her.

Even with this level of skill, if it’s a wooden sword, that’s the only answer.

“It’s a simple matter. I’ll put it up as a black tile once I’ve completed the mission. There are famous ronin who all have nicknames on the gold plates, so it’s difficult for you without nicknames and reputations to enter there.”
“Keu~ As expected, we can communicate well. Then secondly. Can I borrow the forge for a few days? It would be nice if it was a place with good equipment.”
“Do you know how to touch metal?”
“If they knew my skills, would the imperial palace try to take them?”
“It seems to be pretty basic.”
“No, are you really taking me from the imperial palace?”
“Yes, I understand.”

Shim Eun-nang thought it would be a skill at the level of an ordinary blacksmith.

No wonder.
It’s hard for anyone to believe that a young man like Jincheon has reached the ultimate level of skill at night, which requires long training and experience.

First of all, in this era, you have to learn the skill over your shoulder, and even if the best blacksmith teaches you the skill, you have to build up experience for a long time to digest it.

No matter how you look at it, Jincheon, who seems to have just crossed the terms and conditions, cannot fit into that category, and it is impossible to think that way.

“The start date of the mission is tomorrow. The time is…”

Shim Eun-nang informed Jin-cheon in detail of the attack time, personnel composition, location, and so on.

An unknown young master with no reputation.
I wonder if this young master will be of any help in defeating the mysterious human trafficking gang that even Hao Mun couldn’t catch his tail, but he had no choice but to leave it for now as there was no other option.

“Secrecy is of the utmost importance in this matter. Never, never tell anyone, even while drunk.”
“I got it. Then I’ll spend the day in a suitable inn and go as planned.”

Jincheon put the money she hadn’t received back into her pocket and headed out of her.

“But shouldn’t we find out who the people who will commit human trafficking are?”
“No. Those people are masters that I have collected with great difficulty. If at all possible their impressions are known, even the next opportunity will be lost.”

Because Jin-Chun could not keep a secret, Shim Eun-Nang never informed her of the masters she had trouble inviting.

“Okay, okay. Then see you later.”

He went outside without any information on who he would fight with, and what he saw was a group of warriors besieging the entrance.

It was a tense situation, but Shim Eun-nang’s voice was heard through the open door before either side opened its mouth first.

“Let go! I don’t want to see him anymore!”
“Did you hear? I’ve finished my business, so stay tuned.”

Jincheon pushed through the walls of the warriors and went outside, and the warriors of Haomun frowned at his arrogant attitude.

“Are you all right, lady?”
“It’s all right. And have some people who are good at stealth follow him and report where he is and what he’s doing.”
“Ah yes!”

Shim Eun-nang was not naive enough to trust the other person with just a simple verbal contract, and he and Jin-cheon were not in a relationship like that in the first place.

He seemed to have a certain head, but his personality was so arrogant and frivolous that even when he said it was a secret, I couldn’t believe it easily.

‘But if you succeed…’

As long as he moves according to the plan, he can cut off the head, body or arm of the trafficker.

Furthermore, through the traces left by the enemy, you may be able to find out the background.

‘Whoa, it’s nothing to gamble with low probability…’

It’s a gamble.
It’s also a low-probability gamble.
However, she judged Jincheon by only looking at the outside.

In the first place, Jincheon is only frivolous in his actions, but in reality, he also has the aspect of a strategist who knows how to roll his head through numerous experiences.

It’s not just a cold-hearted reason and judgment, it’s a problem because there are many irrational actions that move for the second heart between the crotch.

Still, he is also aware that it is irrational, so he is not an idiot who goes wild without thinking.

I say it twice for emphasis, but the problem is the second heart attached between the crotch.

Heung Hee Hee~ I got a good quest~

Free information fee for female warriors, upgrades, and even a reward to use a ronin level and a high-quality blacksmith.

Yoshi! This quest must be solved!
And I have to melt the blade of the Heavenly Demon Sword and make it into my gauntlet.
What are you doing with this? Are you going to cook soup?

If I use a sword, I have the option of storing it for now and then finding the other half and using the Heavenly Demon Sword, but for me who uses martial arts, the blade of the Heavenly Demon Sword is not a good thing to carry around.

If someone gets caught while carrying it, the problem becomes serious.
It could be misunderstood as the master of the Demonic Cult, or the Demonic Cult bastards could come.
I want to use it for calling Ha-yeon, but if the guys who tried to use this blade find out, it will be a fucking hassle.

But it’s too precious to just hide or throw away.
Hyeoncheol made entirely!
You can’t throw away this amount of hyeoncheol, can you?

So I have to melt it down and use it as my gauntlet.
However, I was worried about the need for a quality blacksmith, but I’ll have to look forward to it as this mission solves it.

By the way, I feel like someone is chasing me. Are these the kids from Haomen?

You can’t believe me.
Well, it doesn’t matter. Because I have no intention of talking anyway.

The request starts tomorrow, so let’s kill time in moderation.
By the way, did you skip lunch?
Since you came to Yueyang, you should have a meal while looking at the scenery of Dongting Lake.

I was looking for a place where I could enjoy the atmosphere of Dong Dong Lake, and I found a suitable place.

Leg stoma.
The first and second floors are blocked by other buildings, but on the third floor, there are no buildings obstructing the view, so it looks good to enjoy the scenery of Dongting Lake.

In a place like this, the setting that the price doubles for each floor will be applied, but 4 gold will be enough for me to eat alone.

Jeom So-yi greets me as I enter the stoma.

“Welcome! Are you one?”
“3rd Floor.”

Showing the pocket containing the golden ruler, I told him the matter straight-forward.

“You’re a small group who knows the arts! Follow me! I’ll guide you to the 3rd floor!”

Jeom So-yi, who used to judge me as a 1st or 2nd floor guest just by looking at my clothes, changed at once.

Yes, this is the power of money.
I have no intention of cracking things up like the main characters in other novels.

If you have money, shouldn’t you spend it to your heart’s content and enjoy art?
The quality of life is not how much money you have, but it depends on what kind of experience and life you enjoy through money.

When we went up to the third floor, people of all ages, all made of high-quality silk, were eating together, enjoying the atmosphere of Dong Dong Lake.

“The menu is here. Call me anytime.”

Jeomsoi went downstairs with the horse.
There is a separate shop soi in charge of the third floor.
Let’s see, what shall we eat?

What’s unique is that, unlike regular guesthouses, they sell not only alcohol and food, but also tea.

However, since I have the silver needles from Gunsan and the dried tea leaves from Shennong, I can drink tea whenever I want.

Of course, let’s choose a drink here.
And the meal… Oh, a dish of toha (freshwater shrimp) seasoned with longjing tea leaves?
Alright, I’ll use this for the base and the others…

Quadang!

“Quaaaaagh!”

Did you come fuck me?
I like random events, but when I eat, I want to focus on my meal quietly.

But why the fuck are you fussing and fucking?

When I turned my head to the place where the commotion had occurred, I could see that others were also turning their heads in the direction of the sudden commotion.

And,

“Let go… Let go! Let go!”

A man who looked like the son of a rich family was being held and bent by a woman wearing a hat that had become one with cotton thread.

“I would have told you not to move her hand.”

The voice of the cotton yarn woman is a passing grade.
It’s a bold yet clean voice.

Based on the fact that you can feel the excellent body even through the suit of blue and red color combination… She is a beauty with sharp eyes!

“This bitch!”
“How dare you, young boy!”

The son of a rich family they were escorting broke his arm and struggled, so two guards came forward and tried to attack the woman.

Oh, if it were me, I would be more careful.
They’re the ones who lack attention.

Shh shh!

Three women, like her servants, who were near the cotton yarn I had been eyeing since a while ago, quickly drew open swords and subdued the guards at the ends of their necks.

Seeing that the escorts couldn’t react properly, there was a difference in their skills.

“Go… Go… Dare…! Who am I… Do you know… Nyaa…!”
“I don’t know. What do you want to know about the family of a guy who takes drugs in the first place?”

What? Did you take the medicine?
Plus, you try to pressure me by telling me where your family is?
Ha fuck, do you collect only the things I hate the most?

If you’re a boy, you should conquer a woman with your cock in a fair way, cowardly taking drugs or threatening with family powers?

He won’t say anything if he uses his ability to threaten, but he’s not threatening with his family!
I’m sure you’ll get a kick out of me!

If it’s a normal novel, it’s normal for the woman to mumble through family and family pressure.

“My…My family is…!”
“Is it stronger than the Sura Blood Palace?”
“What… What…?!”

Wow, that’s what it means to lose blood.

“Tell me about that family. I’m going to test how great it is with the power of the Sura Blood Palace.”
“That… A lie…”
“So, didn’t you tell me to tell you? Now, tell me. What kind of family are you? What a great family?”
“That… That… That…”

That’s over
The male side was terrified first.

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry, Sojeo! Please forgive me…!”
“Disappear.

When the woman let go, the rich family’s son started running away with the escorts.

“Sura Blood Palace…”
“Isn’t it a heinous group that wants to kill a man when he sees one…”
“Uh…”

The Sura Blood Palace protects women who have been hurt and abandoned by men and teaches martial arts.

As a result, all the women in Sura Palace hate men.
The guests on the other 3rd floor began to calculate and run away one by one, frightened by the viciousness of the name Sura Blood Palace.

What am I doing? I need to eat, why are you running away?
I’m not afraid of the Sura Palace, but I feel sorry for it.
Poor women who don’t feel the greatness of men when they don’t feel the true cock.

If it was a deserted place with no people, I would have defeated him right away and made him feel the greatness of the man, but since this is a busy street, let’s hold back.

By the way, since the Sura Blood Palace is closed, it is not easily revealed, so why are the people of the Sura Blood Palace here?

Ah~ If I had time, I would have followed you, but since I have a request, I can’t help it.
This request is an important one that will serve as a guideline for my future travels, so I can’t recklessly discard it.

I waited for the meal to arrive while grumbling inwardly of pity.
