Episode 199. Do you think anyone can do Banrohwandong?
As Gucheonnodo Simtong pulled out Nokdampyeong, Yeonjeok sat down on the edge of the rock where he used to like to sit.
The muddy water of the Yellow River continued to flow as if nothing had happened, even after swallowing the two people.
I didn’t really intend to keep it alive, but it felt strange when it suddenly died.
That must be why Nokdampyeong was absentmindedly staring and then got hit.
“Old Man Shim.”
“yes.”
Simtong, who had been holding the green onion in his hand like a mouse, quickly ran to Yeonjeokha.
“I had a disturbing dream last night. Find out what’s wrong with my brothers.”
“Should we just look at the Five Bongsipgeol? Or… … .”
Simtong glanced at Yeonjeokha’s side profile.
The old man didn’t want to just scratch the side for his sake.
To be honest, Namgung Se-ga’s people are more dangerous than the Oh Bong-sip-geols working in the upper ranks.
He hoped that Yeon-jeok-ha, who was delicate, would not have to suffer the loss of someone precious to her.
“What could possibly go wrong with Namgung Se-ga? There are more than a few experts in the Justice Alliance.”
“That’s true, but the famous religious people are so weird.”
Even just the ten-headed horse is enough to lightly steam and eat the seven-legged squirrel.
“Oh Bong-sip-geol said not to worry, but Namgung Se-ga is trying to take good care of him. Since when have you been taking care of Jeong-pa more than Nok-rim?”
“Oh my! You’re taking more? If someone hears this, they’ll misunderstand. The enemy of the Oh Bong-sip-geol is a third-rate bangpa, but isn’t the enemy of the Namgung family a famous gyogyo? I’m saying this because I’m worried that something might worry His Majesty later.”
“Isn’t it because Old Man Shim’s hands and feet are twitching?”
“Hehehe. Honestly, there is a bit of that too.”
Simtong scratched his head.
I was learning the martial arts of Cheonwicheon and living in the Yellow River, but I couldn’t stand the stinging.
“Tsk tsk! At least build up your skills to the point where you can go toe-to-toe with the Ten Horsemen before you say something like that. I don’t want to be a bother to Old Man Sim.”
“Even now, there is no problem with the twelve or so demon soldiers. It’s just that the demons are a bit burdensome.”
“You sound like a burden. Whenever you see a monster, you run away with your tail between your legs.”
He said with a look of resentment on his face.
“Your Majesty, honestly, even the elders of the Seven-Pay Clan would run away in front of a demon. I’m telling you that even at that level, it’s still usable.”
“Okay, so use that useful thing to check on your brothers to see if they’re okay. Since the news about the Justice League will spread everywhere even if you keep quiet, there’s no need to go out of your way to find them.”
“Oh, that’s true.”
Simtong nodded his head.
Certainly, I could have learned enough news about the Justice League just by hearing it in the inn.
At times like this, I really think that running a guest house is a great idea.
You can sit still and listen to the world go by.
Microsecond (1pm).
When it was lunchtime, Yeonjeokha and Simtong got up from their seats.
As he walked towards the inn, Simtong’s eyes sparkled.
Someone was screaming inside the inn.
“Hehehe. Your Majesty. It looks like some idiot is causing trouble again.”
Although Sambobang and Cheonhwabang were out of business, occasionally the thugs would make a fuss in the inn.
It was a good thing that Simtong was already feeling gloomy.
“Don’t even think about killing or crippling them. Cheon Busa (Cheon Ryang-ji, the deputy commissioner of the police) said that the Pojeongsa (the one who oversees the civil affairs and finances of the castle) is checking on our guesthouse. If something happens, we might have to go back to Obongsan.”
Regardless of your political affiliation, if you get into trouble with the government, your life will be ruined.
I didn’t want to give up my just-started inn life.
“Don’t worry. I don’t just kill anyone. I only kill those who deserve to die.”
“I know. The problem is that there are many who deserve to die. Let’s just kill some of the temper. Should I, a young man, tell Old Man Shim not to lose his temper? Don’t you think he’s changed a little?”
“Confucius is too kind.”
“Don’t say that in front of other people. A few days ago, a merchant called me an Asura while we were eating. He let it slide because I was a customer.”
“How dare you! You say such things to Confucius? Which bastard is that? I will go and destroy that bastard’s bastard.”
“If you knew who I was, would you have said something like that? They were talking about settling down among themselves and that’s what they said. So from now on, don’t say things like ‘I’m kind’ or ‘I’m weak’. It makes my face burn.”
I also felt embarrassed when he said to Nokdampyeong earlier, “Confucius is kind-hearted.”
Normally, Nokdampyeong couldn’t even make eye contact with himself.
The con artists haven’t breathed a word since they drowned today.
To him, he would appear as a grim reaper.
A soft-hearted grim reaper? That is the height of nonsense.
Meanwhile, the commotion inside grew louder.
In the end, Sim Tong, who had gray hair but was full of energy, entered the inn first.
Simtong immediately dragged the man in fancy clothes out and disappeared somewhere.
Yeonjeok went into the inn, sat down by the window, and called Sangdo closer.
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Who was that person who was making a lot of noise just now?”
“He says his father is the Inspector General of Gaebongseong, but that must be a lie, right?”
Yeonjeokha frowned.
The Inspector General is a high-ranking official of the third rank who is responsible for the judiciary and inspection of the province.
He was also the superior of Cheon Ryang-ji, the deputy chief of the Office of the Inspector General.
“Why did you make such a fuss?”
“At first, I saw Nam So-jo and started talking to him.”
“creation?”
“Yes, he kept nagging me for a long time. I think it was about half an hour. But since Lady Nam didn’t accept it, he started patting her butt and giggling.”
“crazy…….”
“So what did Nam So-jo say? He suddenly made a fuss because he found a hair in the fish soup.”
“No companions?”
“Yes. Seeing him walking around alone, I can tell he’s definitely not the son of an inspector. Right?”
The lover smiled wryly.
Judging from the fact that he keeps asking, it seems like he is quite bothered by the fact that he is the son of the inspector general.
After about 30 minutes, Simtong came in, shaking his hands.
He sat down on the seat opposite Yeonjeokha with a calm expression on his face.
“You didn’t kill him and bury him, did you?”
“Oh my! No way. I abandoned it on the way to Gaebong.”
“How much did you hit?”
“I didn’t do anything too harsh. I just lightly shook his arms because he kept talking back to me. I didn’t touch his legs so that he could go home safely.”
He said he broke both his arms.
It wasn’t excessive considering how badly I’d been feeling in the past, but I was still concerned.
“Don’t you say you’re the son of the inspector?”
“Have you heard that story? He was bragging that he was the eldest son. Most of those who talk about genealogy are lying, so I immediately hit them in the mouth. Only after his front teeth fell out did he stop talking nonsense.”
“You really broke a tooth?”
“It seems like your nose has sunk a little. Isn’t that just cuteness on this level?”
Simtong picked up his chopsticks calmly.
Among the green forests, broken arms and sunken noses are a common occurrence.
Didn’t Baekgyo’s face get crushed by the Muyeongshintu that attacked Yeonjeokha a few years ago?
‘What is he doing these days?’
Simtong suddenly became curious about Baekgyo’s well-being.
Of course, it’s not out of pure intentions, but because he wants to show off his accomplishments to him.
“What if he really is the son of the inspector general?”
“There’s no way a son of a police inspector would be wandering around alone, right?”
The face of Simtong was one of nonsense.
In fact, it is right for the son of a police inspector to have a lot of escorts around.
“I guess so?”
I decided to trust the judgment of Simtong, who had a lot of experience in dating.
“Who am I? Just by looking at the table, I can tell if this guy is a city thug or the son of a rich man. His father must have been a merchant.”
“The clothes do look more expensive.”
“Those who act shamelessly, relying only on their parents’ wealth, need to be beaten to come to their senses.”
“I was just wondering, but you didn’t take the money, did you?”
“I got a small reward for my efforts. I took him halfway to Gaebong.”
“Oh, so you broke both my arms, knocked out my teeth, knocked my nose off, and then took my money?”
“I learned it all from Confucius.”
“I said so?”
“Hey, why are you so surprised? Didn’t Confucius also get the money after beating him?”
“What nonsense are you talking about! I just received compensation. I didn’t take any money from you, saying it was a bonus or something!”
Yeonjeokha jumped.
He had his carriage either drowned in the river or destroyed to collect compensation. I don’t know why that story is coming out of Simtong’s mouth now.
He spoke as if the pain was nothing serious.
“Compensation and compensation are like two birds with one stone. I also have to diligently save up to set up a base… … .”
“You old man! What if a customer breaks your bones and steals your money just because you’re being rude? Are you going to take responsibility if your reputation gets worse and your customers decrease? Do you know what kind of mountain this is?”
As Yeonjeokha raised her voice, Namsookyung quickly approached.
“Your Majesty, I don’t know what’s going on, but please lower your voice. Why are you so angry?”
“This old man took the customer away earlier… … .”
Because I couldn’t bring myself to reveal the whole truth, I ended it with “I hit him.”
Nam Soo-kyung was surprised to hear that he had been hit.
“Oh my! Really? Sir Sim. But you were too harsh on our guests.”
“What about the guests? You don’t have to accept such a gift.”
“… … .”
Nam Soo-kyung couldn’t refute it because it was all done for her own benefit.
It was true that the man had crossed the line.
At first he was just teasing her lightly, but as time went on he started to act like a brat.
It was fortunate that my grandfather was away, if he had seen it, he might have fallen over and grabbed the back of his neck.
Nam Soo-kyung, who had been hesitating, returned to her place.
After glaring at the rival Simtong, he finished his meal.
What’s going to happen will happen anyway.
Although Simtong’s hand was excessive, it was difficult to say anything when I thought about what he had done.
Yeonjeok-ha, who had been eating fish soup silently, raised his head.
“Old Man Shim.”
“yes?”
“But let’s not charge any compensation from now on. I’m not even a ronin, so what’s the point of charging compensation?”
“Is the compensation okay?”
Yeonjeokha put his empty hand on his forehead.
The heat from my head rushed into my palm.
I can’t tell if he’s just being annoying or if he’s just genuinely curious.
“Ugh! If someone causes harm, they should be compensated. If you’re not a ronin who’s getting paid to guard someone, don’t even mention the compensation. Asking for compensation after beating someone up is something that only works on Mt. Obong.”
“Yes, I will definitely do so in the future.”
He lowered his head in despair.
It’s not that I won’t do it in the future, it’s that I will definitely do it.
“Don’t try too hard to save up money. If you don’t have enough money to buy a house, I can give you some extra money.”
The lover slowly and gently teased my heart.
It was better than having an old man go around causing trouble for no reason.
Considering his age, he would be able to recoup the money he lent in no time.
“It’s okay. I plan to take my time and prepare slowly.”
“Is it okay if I get older? At Mr. Shim’s age, I could easily lose all my money if I try to save it.”
“Hehehe. I plan on aiming for Banrohwandong.”
“Ban, what?”
“They say that as you deepen your horizons, you can actually become younger. I don’t know if it’s a mistake, but it seems like the hair on the back of my ears is growing back black these days.”
“Hey, that can’t be. Do you think just anyone can do the Banrohwandong?”
While doing so, he carefully observed the hair on the back of his neck that was bothering him.
If he really seems like he’s going to turn back, I don’t think I’ll ever do a money transaction.
Wuxia,
