Chapter 174
Episode 174: King Daein has changed (1)
Until yesterday, Jinsan Yu and his granddaughter were wanted criminals.
Now, they have been transformed into VIP guests of the opening section.
“Wow~ Did you prepare all this for the two of us to eat?”
When we arrived at the place guided by the official, a sumptuous feast had been prepared.
From various stir-fried dishes to steamed carp. And everything including meatball stew and fragrant fruits. My upper leg was broken.
I can’t believe we were treated to a meal like this, just the two of us, in a quiet space.
It was no wonder the granddaughter opened her mouth and was surprised.
“huh. Eat a lot, baby. “I guess it’s because King Daein is a gourmet that he prepared a lot.”
Yoo Seol grabbed the chopsticks and began to taste the food one by one.
My eyes were getting bigger and bigger, as if it suited my taste.
“Wow, it’s delicious! But why don’t you eat it?”
Wang Si-pyeong was originally a person with a great appetite.
But after the steamed mole incident, I barely touched food. Like a person who is afraid of eating.
Yu Jin-san, who guessed the reason, asked while suppressing laughter.
“Since you are a high-ranking official, you must be busy doing government work. But why are you suddenly asking that? “Since when did you worry?”
“I feel like I’ve become a different person than when I first started. “Those eight precepts became the four five jeongs.”
The tale of Journey to the West is my granddaughter’s favorite story.
It wasn’t just the appearance that changed. Everything had changed greatly, as if he had been possessed.
“It actually looks better.”
“Hi-Hi. But why are you so nice to us?”
Wang Sa-pyeong was always an angry person. One cannot help but wonder at his sudden change in attitude.
At that time, Jinsan Yu picked up the chicken leg in front of him and placed it on his granddaughter’s bowl.
“There is nothing free in this world. “When I think about the expenses, it seems like they’re trying to make me work.”
“Then… shall we eat this and run away?”
I had a rough idea of what was going on.
I had no intention of running away like my granddaughter suggested, but my playful nature kicked in and I fought back.
“I guess that wouldn’t be bad either. “Let’s eat and run away right away?”
Yu Seol thought for a moment and shook his head horizontally once.
“Wait a moment, grandpa. “Maybe they’ll keep eating delicious food.”
“You’re saying we’ll stay a few more days, right? hmm. “As expected, our Seol is a genius.”
At that moment, Jo-Son’s eyes met directly.
The two looked at each other’s expressions and started laughing wildly, each with a different meaning.
Wang Siping’s face was full of solemnity.
There was no trace of his previous fat and lazy appearance.
Sitting on the bailiff’s chair, he grabbed the chapel wood and struck the table.
“Summon all the Five Emperors immediately!”
One of the officials said goodbye and quickly ran out.
The Five Tigers are the five most outstanding leaders in the opening department.
He is famous for his martial arts skills, leading the investigation in the field and leading the investigation.
It was very unusual for them to be convened at the same time.
Wang Siping pointed out someone again.
“Jangho!”
“Please say yes.”
“Lead the Five Emperors and investigate all officials within the city! “If there is anyone whose origins or activities are suspicious or who is not cooperating, arrest them regardless of their status!”
“Yes Dain!”
After finishing what he had to say, Wang Siping waved his hand and sent everyone out.
Now, the only person left in the government office is Jeon-chung and escort.
He approached quietly and asked.
“Are you okay with such a sudden move? There will be significant opposition from other officials.”
Gaebong is the capital of the country, and there is a palace in the deepest part of the country.
As it was the center of politics, it was natural that there were many influential officials.
No matter how wealthy he was, there was a risk that he would be in trouble if he acted recklessly, but his intentions were firm.
“If we don’t get rid of them now, we’ll be the ones to suffer. “Isn’t it time to consider this and that?”
Now it was like being enemies with Changryongdae.
It would be as obvious as fire that they would target him. I felt like I couldn’t sleep with my feet stretched out without seeing the end.
The most urgent problem was eliminating internal enemies.
“Are you sure it’s okay?”
Wang Si-pyeong shook his head horizontally.
“This is only a temporary measure and not a problem that can be solved on my own.”
“What are your plans?”
“Now that I have drawn my sword, I must proceed with certainty. “I must go to see His Majesty.”
There was a risk of getting angry if you proceeded sloppily.
Wang Siping planned to appeal the current serious situation and sort it out all at once.
However, concern still remained on Jeon Chung’s face.
“If the person is absent at this point, it will be difficult for the investigation to proceed properly.”
“What is the problem.”
“Those who are from the military or have a background, as well as other high-ranking officials, will not cooperate. At least, unless I come forward myself…”
Jeon Chung trailed off.
At this point, it would be dangerous for Wang Sa-pyeong to travel alone. This is because he had to follow him as an escort wherever he went.
Moreover, since they were going to be embroiled in political issues for the time being, neither of them were in a position to participate in the investigation.
“The fate of the country depends on it, so we must check every single person. Even if it means using force.”
“However, there will be a limit to the Five Lakes Sangwan.”
What if they were investigating lower-level officials? It was impossible to smoothly investigate people of high social status with a small-scale investigation.
Wang Si-pyeong must have known this as well, but he was not shaken at all.
As if there was a part of him that believed in something.
“What would it be like if we received help from the yin-yang twin monsters?”
Jeon Chung asked back with a surprised face, as if he had never imagined it.
“A yin-yang twin monster? “Are you saying we’re bringing those dangerous people into the investigation?”
“Why not? Those idiots probably won’t care who their opponent is.”
“But wouldn’t it be a bit dangerous? “These are people with such crazy ideas that they broke into the opening in broad daylight and kidnapped Buyun.”
“At first, I thought they were crazy people like you. But looking back, I realized that every action was calculated.”
Jeon Chong did not question any further and bowed his head once.
“I understand what you mean, sir. But will they be willing to help us?”
“When it comes to Changryongdae, they are grinding their teeth just as much as we are. “It’s about hunting down these guys, so there’s no reason to refuse.”
But there was still one problem left.
“But aren’t they still civilians? “There will be limits to how much we can help.”
“Isn’t it enough to make a method? “Now that I think about it, you said we needed to recruit Po-Kye, right?”
Zhen Chong stared at Wang Siping with an expression of bewilderment.
“Then no way….”
“With my authority, I will appoint Yin-Yang Twin Monster as Po-Kkee of the opening department. “We also cooperated with Jeong Chang-won’s investigation, so there is sufficient justification.”
“There will be no problem, right? My kids are scared. “The Podus will be scared and won’t be able to give orders.”
Who can control the yin-yang twin monsters?
Even Jeon Chung, the most expert in the opening section, was someone to watch out for.
However, Wang Sa-pyeong was relaxed, as if he had already thought of something.
“Wasn’t I captured by those guys and tortured for more than ten days? “I’ve been watching it closely, so there’s nothing to worry about.”
“Are you saying there is a way to control them?”
Wang Siping nodded with a meaningful smile.
“Yang Kai has a deep heart and a calm mind. On the other hand, Eumgoe’s behavior varies depending on his mood. “You can start laughing and then suddenly get angry, and it’s unpredictable.”
“So, what you’re saying is that you have to move the negative mass by cutting the positive mass.”
“No, it’s the opposite. Yang Goe cannot be controlled even if Teacher Gongmyeong comes.”
“So… are you saying that I’m going to persuade the devil?”
Wang Siping motioned for him to come closer.
Then he whispered in a low voice in his ear.
“Eum-goe is weak to flattery, so tell her to respond well to everything. “As long as you make him feel good, he will cooperate with most things.”
“It’s a double-edged sword. On the other hand, if you offend…”
Wang Si-pyeong’s eyes turned to the tightly closed door of the main office.
It had been recently destroyed by a monster and replaced with a new one.
“Then the events of that day may repeat themselves.”
How could I forget that day?
He, the best expert in the opening section, was beaten until he passed out, and Wang Sa-pyeong had his neck caught in the retelling head.
It was the darkest memory of my life, so much so that I would never forget it.
Jeon Chung held his sword with a solemn expression and struck.
“I will summon the Podus and tell them to keep this in mind.”
“We are planning to leave for the palace tomorrow, so please finish it well before then.”
“Yes, great. Do not worry.”
After finishing the meal, Jinsan Yu came out and took a walk in the front yard of the government office in the opening department.
Although I was the only civilian in the vast space, there were no officials to stop me.
It was a time when I was feeling such a pleasant cool breeze.
“Did the meal suit your taste?”
Jeon Chung approached him and bowed somewhat in front of him.
He was of the rank of lieutenant, and was the highest rank among the military officers of the opening department.
Nevertheless, his attitude towards Yu Jin-san was full of courtesy.
“Thanks to you, I ate well. “I didn’t know that the opening department would welcome guests like this.”
“If there is anything missing, please tell me. “The great man told me to serve him with the utmost respect.”
“So, what is the business?”
“I… actually have something to ask you.”
It was Mt. Eugene who had already expected him to come.
He turned his back and listened to what was said in silence.
After hearing the whole story, I smiled and asked.
“Are you asking us to be Po-Kwee?”
“yes. “Please at least wait until the investigation is completed.”
Yu Jin-san looked the other way with a puzzled look on his face.
Are the subjects of the investigation one or two people? It was a tedious task of walking around.
I wasn’t interested in it because it wasn’t very efficient compared to the amount of work.
I decided that it would be more meaningful to guard the entrance to the prison.
“hmm. I don’t really like it. “You can ask the devil.”
“Where is he?”
Eugene San pointed somewhere with his chin and turned his back.
Jeon Chung silently looked at the place he told him about.
On the roof of the pavilion opposite.
Yuseol, with his belly full like a tadpole, was lying there.
He appeared to be wiggling his toes with half-closed eyes.
Since my stomach was full and the weather was cool, I seemed to be able to sleep.
“The great evil!”
Yoo Seol’s eyes shifted slightly to the right.
Then he looked at Zhen Zhong and asked in a low voice.
“…why?”
“Please be brave and help us. “Please.”
It was after I had already heard the conversation between my grandfather and Jeon Chung.
Yu Seol responded as if he was not interested.
“I don’t. “It’s annoying.”
I never thought he would reject me so bluntly.
Jeon Chung hesitated, not knowing what to do.
After a while. Suddenly he opened his mouth again with a reverential look.
“In fact, I was deeply impressed by Daehyeop’s martial arts skills. “Do you know that the officials of our opening department respect the Daehyup?”
At that moment, the corners of Eumgoe’s expressionless mouth slowly rose.
Jeon Chung noticed this and cried out in joy.
“You respect me?”
“Yes, of course. “The just actions of the Daehyup serve as an example to everyone.”
At that moment, Zhen Zhong could hear Yin Kai’s laughter.
“Please teach the pokwes a lesson.”
Yin Kai did not answer right away and seemed to be pondering.
Jeon Chong sweated with both hands.
After a certain amount of silence passed.
Soon he was asked a completely unexpected question.
“Then how much will you be paid?”
