Episode 485
Piece (3)
The official frowned openly.
“Do you think I’m a schoolboy from Seodang? “Are you asking me to read all of this and submit my impressions?”
“Please, within two days.”
Yeon Ho-jeong said without even looking at the party hall. He was concentrating on the pile of documents.
That wasn’t all.
Yan Wei, Zhuge Yan, and even Jiang Liang were reading the documents they had each copied. Everyone was completely immersed in document analysis, as if they knew the situation was urgent.
The official closed his eyes.
A vein bulged on his forehead.
“Okay, since it’s helpful in catching Sejak, I can do it even if it’s a bit of a hassle.”
“thank you.”
“But… why on earth is the author here!”
Prince Moyong was at the place the party official pointed with wide eyes.
Prince Moyong also did not see the party hall. In some ways, he was the person who was the most focused here.
Yeon Ho-jeong said.
“Everyone who can be mobilized must be mobilized.”
“Mobilization? “Did you also tell this to the elders of the old sect?”
“That’s not it. No matter how wise you are, you can’t ask someone to read an in-depth investigation into their private life. Of course…”
Yeon Ho-jeong pointed to one side of the thick stack of documents.
“There are also those from six families.”
“What on earth should we do now…!”
“I don’t have time to explain this or that. “If you are willing to do me a favor, please analyze it quickly, matriarch.”
Tang Gwan, who had been quietly glaring at Yeon Ho-jeong, turned his gaze to Mo Yong-gun.
Prince Moyong didn’t seem to care about the party. No, it actually was like that. He read and reread the documents until his eyes fell out to find out who Sejak was.
“joy!”
The official snorted and sat down on one side.
Everyone was working hard to do their job. There is no point in making the blood in your neck rise for no reason.
“Is this it?”
“yes. “It will be easy to tell them apart because we’ve organized them by clan.”
The official clicked his tongue.
‘It’s bigger than I thought.’
There is a lot of information listed, ranging from as little as twenty pages to as many as a hundred pages per person.
It was a moment when I could feel Zhuge Li’s obsession and madness. You must have gone through all the trouble of researching the heads of the nine and six families.
Finally, the party member who sat down suddenly felt something strange.
‘Scattered?’
Of course, there is no need for everyone to gather together to read, but wouldn’t there be a need to spread out and read like this?
The strangest among them was Yeonhojeong. He was sitting in the very corner of the large room. It was as if they were watching the people inside.
‘You want to see the reaction?’
We have gathered people with insight, but to be honest, there may be some people here who are just as foolish.
Byeoksan Yeonga, Moyongse, and even Sacheondangga.
Aside from the family heads, the only person who can transparently observe their reactions is Yeon Ho-jeong.
Yeonwi and Moyonggun willingly allowed that honest surveillance. It would also mean that they are confident.
‘Whatever it is, it’s amazing in many ways. Even so, Yeongaju, even that guy, Moyong-gun.’
Let’s join hands for a moment for the common good.
No matter how much the goal is the same, it is not easy to be watched by someone younger than you, much less your enemy.
Nevertheless, Prince Moyong willingly allowed it. I could tell just by looking at his eyes and posture.
‘It means that it is recognized that much.’
The official saw Yeonhojeong.
Yeon Ho-jeong was also focused on the document, but part of his consciousness was directed towards his surroundings.
‘Now I have no choice but to admit it.’
Old scholars of the old school do not know much. However, the influence of Yeon Ho-jeong, who is trusted not only by Zhuge Mun-ho, a soldier of the Murim Alliance, but also by his archenemy Mo Yong-gun, can be evaluated as being at the top of the Murim Alliance.
‘If so, do I really acknowledge that guy?’
The official smiled.
It was a strange smile that seemed both mocking and bitter.
“Cheap.”
“Say yes.”
“Let me tell you in advance, I am not Sejak.”
“I think so too.”
“Is it real?”
“yes. “It’s about 90 percent of my money.”
“…unlucky guy.”
“There is no time. “If you want to help me, please help me quickly.”
The officer grumbled and held up the document.
“How did I get involved with a guy like that?”
two days later.
“Hmm.”
Zhuge Mun-ho shed tears as he read the documents in which Yeon Ho-jeong, the official of Yan Wei Mo Yong-gun, and Zhuge Yan Yan wrote down what they each saw and felt.
“As expected, everyone’s feelings are different. It’s different, but…”
Zhuge Wenhu looked at Yan Haozheng.
“There are only two people whose suspicions overlap. “Everyone thought the same about this.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“What do you think about those two? Are you suspicious of those two too?”
“That’s right.”
“What kind of people are those two you see?”
“One is easy to understand and the other is difficult to know.”
“Yes, that is an accurate assessment.”
Zhuge Wenhu’s index finger tapped the table. It wasn’t a very meaningful action, it was just a habit. Habits when thinking deeply.
After a while, Zhuge Wenhu opened his mouth.
“Let me ask you one question.”
“Please speak.”
“You said this back then. “I will try to catch Sejak within five days.”
“I did.”
“The deadline is three days away.”
“It’s tight.”
“Then how did you try to track down Sejak?”
He had not yet explained the method to anyone.
Yeon Ho-jeong said.
“As you know, sir, there are not many cases where an infiltrated Sejak acts alone.”
“It’s not that there isn’t a lot, it’s that there is almost nothing. “Especially if it’s a large organization like Bonmaeng.”
“That’s right. Of course, there are cases where only three pieces are sent to a large organization. “Because we know the danger, we use it as a distraction so that we will not be caught even if we fail to convey information.”
“yes.”
“But no matter how much I think about it, I don’t think the Three Churches will try to make such a timid move against the main alliance.”
“Of course it will. In the first place, these three works must have been created with a lot of effort and effort over a long period of time. “They would have infiltrated us from the beginning without any trouble, so there is no reason to worry about getting caught.”
“In other words, there is an extremely high probability that there is a contact connected to Sejak.”
“So to speak, I was thinking of making a move based on that contact, not Sejak.”
“That’s right.”
“How?”
“It takes some time for Sejak to send the collected information. “It can be seen as a cycle, and when that cycle is broken, the contacts will definitely move.”
“I guess so. The problem is that we don’t know how long the cycle is.”
“So this is what we needed.”
Yeon Ho-jeong pointed to the documents.
“It contains not only the private lives of each sect leader, but also their habits and activities after joining the Murim Alliance.”
“hmm.”
“And we narrowed it down. “Two people.”
Zhuge Wenhu’s eyes deepened.
“Are you going to keep an eye on those two?”
“yes. But we have to force someone other than those two into sejak.”
“…!”
“The people who will be secretly monitored are the two selected through the report. And everyone else except those two must be locked up or imprisoned.”
“…It’s a dangerous operation.”
“That’s right.”
“There is no guarantee of success.”
“of course.”
“What’s more, there are only three days left. If that’s the case, it won’t be easy to catch him even if a month or half a year passes, right?”
Zhuge Mun-ho is asking whether this is an overly passive operation.
“It’s not like that.”
“Why do you think that?”
“Because there will be another shadow other than the contact.”
Zhuge Wenhu’s eyes wavered.
“Another shadow?”
“yes.”
Yeonhojeong’s tone was definitive.
“Operations like this require decisive families. There is nothing we can be sure of, but there are two assumptions we can be certain of. One is that Sejak was not included in the middle, but was with Samgyo from the beginning. And the second thing is….”
“Having contacts.”
“That’s right. “If we look at the situation based on that assumption, there must be another person between Sejak and the liaison.”
Zhuge Wenhu’s eyes wavered.
“Are you sure?”
“If that assumption is certain, you can be ten percent certain that the shadow exists.”
“Can I ask why?”
Because they’ve always been like that.
Yeon Ho-jeong swallowed those words. The only people who confessed their past lives were Yeonwi and Mukbi. No matter how much I was, Zhuge Liang couldn’t say that.
“Just know that I have my own reasons for being confident. For example, a shadow has been cast over the evil spirits that have preyed on the world of southern assassins for a long time.”
It was fire fighting.
“This is also the first infiltration war between the three schools. I can’t help but feel anxious. Moreover, it is the Murim Alliance. “We have no choice but to keep in mind the possibility that Sejak will betray us.”
“So to speak, a manager.”
“That’s right. And there is one more reason why such a manager has no choice but to stick around.”
“Xinhuaism.”
“You are correct. After we killed several Shinhwa cult leaders, they probably dispatched administrators to each region. “And urgently.”
And that is the way of the Three Religions.
It wasn’t just because of this incident. In the past, during the time of the Emperor of Darkness, I have seen countless managers in the process of catching the three pieces sent by them.
Among them, there were those who pretended to be ordinary people who did not even have a single martial arts skill, and there were also masters of stealth who could easily deceive even the eyes of the best masters.
The Murim League Sejak manager is most likely the latter. Yeon Ho-jeong had no doubts about it.
“In other words, rather than finding contacts, we are trying to select people related to those two as candidates for contacts and then find out whether there is a manager between them and Sejak.”
“That’s right.”
“With poison?”
“We decided to borrow the power of our party.”
It seemed like they had thought through every detail.
Zhuge Wenhu stroked his chin.
“It’s not bad, but… it’s not an operation that’s easy to deploy manpower to. Of course, there aren’t many contact candidates related to those two people.”
Still, Yeonhojeong tried to press ahead.
If you start with small and seemingly meaningless parts, you will automatically be able to get to the root. It was also Yeon Ho-jeong’s way of persevering in digging into a situation when things were difficult, even if it was a bit sloppy.
“Contact… and the manager connected to the contact…”
Zhuge Wenho, who muttered several times, soon brightened his eyes.
“How about combining yours and mine?”
“which…?”
“What I’m saying is that while we are taking care of Sejak, we will also resolve some pretty sensitive issues related to you at the same time.”
“yes?”
Zhuge Wenhu smiled deeply.
“Of course, I’m saying this because I trust your insight. “No matter what, this is going to take some hard work for you.”

next day.
“I’m sorry for suddenly scheduling another meeting.”
It was a sudden meeting, but all the officials gathered. This was because there was an expectation that Zhuge Liang would have figured something out about a problem related to Sejak.
As if he had read that expression, Zhuge Lianghu spoke with an embarrassed expression.
“I’m sorry, but today’s meeting was not about Sejak.”
Yonghwajinin asked bluntly.
“What if I do it?”
“I have something to persuade the public regarding the Mukryongbu matter, so I created this position.”
“Persuasion? Did you cause another accident?”
“It wasn’t an accident, it was a reasonable operation, but it may seem a little extreme.”
“What on earth are you talking about?”
Zhuge Wenhu’s eyes lit up.
“I would like to tell you about dispatching Grand Marshal Yeon Ho-jeong, commander of the Yu military unit, to Mukryongbu.”
