"How much longer do you intend to take?"
"There's a degree to which a man is brazen!"
"I've let you off the hook!"
Hyun Jong's face is full of water.
"I know, but...…."
Then, the man behind the party walked quietly forward. As he stepped forward, others shut their mouths at once and stepped back from side to side.
Is he the boss?'
Chung-Myung glowed at the person who came forward.
It is a typical merchant's appearance. A slightly chubby face and clothes decorated with expensive silk.
'You look rich.'
The person who came forward opened his mouth. Chung-Myung still listened.
"Have you been at peace?"
"I didn't expect the princess to come in person."
A man called Gongruju smiled softly.
"I don't feel good to see a man of letters again for this matter. Please understand that this person tried not to climb Hawasan again if he could, but there were so many people rushing him that he couldn't do anything about it."
"I'm sorry."
Hyun Jong lowered his head lightly.
Then the princess opened her mouth with a slightly different voice than before.
"One long man. You have to understand other people's feelings. The contract date has already passed a long time."
"Hmm."
The princess reclines her shoulders slightly. In Chung-Myung's eyes, the gesture couldn't seem so arrogant.
"We've already let him off the hook several times. Nevertheless, if you keep breaking your promise like this, I can't let you off the hook any longer."
Hyun Jong couldn't say anything.
On the surface, it was a peaceful face, but Chung-Myung's eyes showed Hyun Jong's face wriggling subtly.
Of course it will.
As a long-time writer of Hawasan, none of the long-term writers have ever experienced the experience of suffering from debtors in front of civil servants.
"If it's up to the contract, I'll have to get paid for breaking the contract right now."
The princess shook her head with a smile.
"We have also lived under the grace of Hawasan. I don't want to be so harsh."
"Princess!"
"We've already...…."
"Huh."
Other merchants around him protested, but when the princess opened her mouth, she shut up as if she had planned. Then I sneak up on him.
"If you don't know grace, you're nothing more than an animal. Don't just think of the grace you've given. Anyone who lives in harmony grew up with the grace of Hawasan. Don't forget the work of your predecessor."
"Hmm."
"That's right."
Gong Lu-ju smiles broadly and opens her mouth to see if everyone understood.
"So I'd like to give you a little more consideration. I'll give you seven days and seven nights from now on. If you don't pay back the money you borrowed for seven weeks and nights, I'll take the price as per the initial contract."
"Go, princess, wait a minute...…."
"The Long Man."
The princess shakes her head still.
"No more. My body that moves money. This alone is as convenient as possible. If the payment is not ready when I return seven weeks and seven nights later, I will confiscate all of Hawasan's cabinet as promised."
"Gasp!"
The princess turned her head to the sound that popped out of nowhere. Chung-Myung, who is covering his mouth in his sight, comes in.
"You looked ugly in front of the child."
The princess reaches out her hand and wins the lottery.
"That's all for today. Jang Moon-in. I hope we can see each other smiling next time. Of course."As the princess turned around, the merchants who had followed her turned around together. Nevertheless, he did not forget to turn his head and stare at Hyun Jong.
Hyun Jong raises his head and opens his mouth as he sees them exit the prose with a dignified air.
"...Huh."
It's a bit empty and a bit tired.
So it was a sigh that sounded heavier.
* * *
"So."
Chung-Myung was resting his chin, with his legs crossed.
"A merchant of harmony?"
"I'm telling you."
"Turn it off."
Chung-Myung's head is rattling back and forth. Do In-myeong slipped back when he saw it.
I don't know what else he's gonna do. I'm going to avoid it.
The reason why he is explaining this in front of Chung-Myung is very simple.
Returning to the White House with great momentum, he called in all the children of the mall and selected those who knew the condition of Hawasan. And finally, it is Do In-myeong who meets his standards.
Thanks to this, Do In-myeong explains to Chung-Myung what he knows and doesn't know.
"Isn't harmony the name of the town under Hawasan?"
Jo-Gol, who was listening to Do In-myung together, asked.
"Yes, death penalty. I remember seeing it before when I was peddling with my father."
"So Hawasan borrowed money from merchants in Chords?"
"I don't think that's...…."
Do In-myung scratched his head.
Although it was Hwasan's job, the three great disciples couldn't have known it. At best, I can only guess from what is going on.
"The Gongluju is the Luju of Taehwaru, Chords. It's the biggest base in harmony, and I heard that you're working on various businesses based on it. He's the master of harmony."
"Hmm."
"So if Hawasan had borrowed money, I would have borrowed it from him...."
It'suddenly.
"Huh?"
Jo-Gol turned his head away. And then soon my face turned white.
Chung-Myung's neck was rattling like a broken wooden doll.
"Father, wake up, priest!"
"Tae, Taehwa-ru...…."
"What's wrong?"
Jo-Gol freaked out when he saw Chung-Myung, who was mesmerized by shock.
Of course they won't understand what's wrong with Chung-Myung.
Wake up.
Chung-Myung, who suddenly jumped up from his seat as if he had returned to life, stared at Do In-myeong with scary eyes.
"Gasp?"
Then, at lightning speed, he rushed to the doer and grabbed him by the collar.
"Is it true that he was the rouge of Taehwaru?"
"Well, I'm telling you."
"The rouge of Taehwaru lends money to Hawasan and tries to confiscate his cabinet?"
"Gee, calm down, priest!"
"Calm down? You want me to calm down now?"
Hey, you bastards! Do I look like I'm gonna calm down?
Chung-Myung untied Do In-myung's hand by the collar, scraping his head wildly and tearing it apart.
"What's wrong with you, priest?"
Chung-Myung couldn't answer the question at all. The reason is simple.
Because I can't explain it.
Because!
"Taehwa-ru is Hwasan's!" Crazy!'
Just because you're a master doesn't mean you live on grass. Small and medium-sized literary groups may not know how long they will continue with the money they receive from local visitors, but it is impossible to maintain large literary groups such as Hawasan alone.
In the first place, those who are prosecutors or moussa are only interested in being strong by themselves, because they are not a penny to Moonpa's housekeeping.
It will take a lot of money to feed such insectivores as a group. Because of that, Hawasan had several operations in Chords. One of the sites is Taehwa Roo.But the owner of the taehwa lends money to hwasan in reverse and forfeits hwasan's cabinet with the debt?
It doesn't add up.
Yeah... if it doesn't add up, it means something's wrong!
"...Jo-Gol's death penalty."
"Huh?"
Chung-Myung beckons in silence. Jo-Gol approached Chung-Myung with curious eyes. When Chung-Myung whispered something only Jo-Gol could hear, Jo-Gol opened his eyes wide and looked at him.
"That?"
"Can you get it?"
Jo-Gol stumbles a little.
"Oh, no. I can get it, but...…."
"Then get it."
"...Really?"
"Do I look like I'm joking? Capital punishment?"
"Go, I'll get it."
Jo-Gol exits the room with a slightly nervous face.
What are you trying to do?'
Yoon-jong tilted his head while watching the scene. Jo-Gol's reaction is extraordinary.
But you didn't have to worry so deeply. Because Jo-Gol came back with something even before the strain was over.
He gives Chung-Myung what he has in his hand with a subtle face.
"Cheon?"
No, is it clothing? But why would you do that out of the blue in this situation?
Chung-Myung, who took the clothes that Jo-Gol had handed out, flung off the application he was wearing without hesitation.
"Oh?"
Then he quickly began to wear the clothes Jo-Gol brought.
Black clothing that sticks to your body...….
"What, what are you going to do?"
"I'll ask."
"Huh?"
Chung-Myung replies nonchalantly.
"If you ask your private servants, they won't answer you properly, and they'll tell you to stay out of it."
Of course, dude! Because that's the right thing to say!
"So I'm asking you myself!"
"Now, hold on!"
A cold sweat began to run down Yoon-jong's forehead.
So far, what Chung-Myung has done has happened in Hawasan. Therefore, there was a lot of room for trouble, but somehow it was possible to fix it. But what's about to happen isn't just Hwasan's job.
You have to stop him.'
If you're lucky, you might end up getting information moderately, but...….
That can't be true!'
Chung-Myung is, so to speak, a man with no backing up. I can tell from what I've seen so far. He'll definitely cause trouble! You can hang your neck.
And if this guy goes down the mountain and causes an accident, the aftermath will be uncontrollable.
If you can't stop it here, it's Yoon-jong's responsibility. If the adults of Munpa find out what caused the accident, the ambassador, Yoon-jong, will not be safe.
But how do I stop him?
If I could stop you with a few words, I would have done it already.
Yoon-jong opened his mouth in a cold sweat.
"What are you, what are you going to do?"
"I'm asking you in person."
"What if I don't answer?"
"You don't answer?"
Chung-Myung tilts his head.
"That's not usually the case. They're telling me to stop because they're gonna answer."
What do you mean, stop it, you freak!
Yoon-jong racked his brains with all his might.
"You're a master, aren't you?"
"Huh?"
"Yeah, you're a do-in. You're a student of Hwasan!"
I don't know why, but Chung-Myung seemed to be proud of his pursuit of Do and being a disciple of Hwasan. So what if you stimulate that part well?
"You can't do such a thing! That's why it's no different than the Black Island Bangs!"
Then Chung-Myung nodded deeply.
"That's absolutely true. Doin shouldn't do such a thing."
Surely this one move seemed to work. Yoon-jong's face lit up with a ray of hope."Oh, yeah!"
"But the death penalty! Listen to me!"
"Huh?"
"There's a saying! Don't worry about it. Kill the ministry when you meet the ministry, kill the investigation when you meet the investigation!"
"...."
"I know! To achieve a true sense of course!"
Chung-Myung last covered his face with a black mask in his hand. Then he shouted so proudly.
"Sometimes you have to know how to break the law!"
What are you talking about, you crazy guy?
"I'm coming! To find the true Tao!"
"...."
It was Yoon-jong who deeply realized that stopping Chung-Myung was impossible in the first place.
