Episode 217. Daggers taste best when poison is applied (1)
Joo Hwa, who entered the church at an early age, was quite a celebrity from that time on. That’s also true, because her martial arts (武 才) was so great that she was ranked first among her peers.
The heads of many internal organizations coveted her. She thought that if she was brought up properly, she would be good enough to serve as a pillar of the organization.
However, So Yeon-shim realized that the merits of coins were not limited to Mujae.
The coin she saw was a talented person with a talent close to that of a prime minister. She is not only good at martial arts, but also good at management and strategy. In a word, smart.
The problem was that, contrary to appearances, the coin’s heart was weak.
It was not easily fixed even with martial arts training. He thought that if he mastered the strong and poisonous magic, the natural pulpit would change to overflowing, but the coins did not change much.
It is heaven, so to speak. She was kind by nature and soft-hearted.
However, there is no business in front of time, and no talent in front of effort. The current coin has clear subjectivity, and it has also learned how to manage its own delicate mind well.
Yes. Until the four men came in, she was able to calmly control her mind.
“Why?”
Surprised by Xiliang’s words, Zhou Hui lowered his head in haste.
“The Governor of Hwanheewon welcomes the Mazons.”
Wei Chan nodded lightly, and Gorumazon smiled and waved.
“This is how you view the rumored general manager Hwan Hee-won. A rare genius? I heard Wonju loves him very much.”
“It’s an overstatement.”
“What is overeating? Look, I know. Compared to his age, his martial arts skills are excellent, and his eyes are overflowing with ingenuity. As expected, he is a talented person who is not lacking as the next source of joy.”
Although he said he was an old man in the back room, Gorumazon was very knowledgeable about rumors in the school. It was unknown to anyone except a few that the coin was chosen as the next round of joy.
Joo-hwa secretly looked at Seo-ryang.
Seo Liang shrugged.
“How come it happened like this. He came forward to help me as if my situation was difficult.”
sorry… … .
It doesn’t seem to be right or wrong. Even with simple skills, Xiliang belongs to the most dangerous class in Shinkyo. In addition, he was a rare monster who showed off his overwhelming ability in the succession fight as a disciple of the religious leader.
I don’t think it’s a little pity for such a person, but blind knives are dangerous to anyone, so the mazons might feel sorry for them.
“All right. Then, I will think that you two are moving together.”
“I will.”
Seo Liang looked around.
“Anyway, this is my first time here again.”
If the tavern run by Old Man Kang was at the eastern end of the inner city, this small abandoned house now was at the southwestern end.
Joo-hwa said calmly.
“In the past, it was one of the shrines that low-ranking servants or general warriors among the resistant demons came to.”
“A shrine?”
“yes. It is a shrine to pray to Pasun. It is said that there were shrines like this in various places in the inner and outer castles in the past, but now many of them have disappeared.”
It’s amazing.
It is said that there are many shrines enshrining gods throughout Jungwon, but I did not know that there are such shrines in Shingyo. Enshrining a god is an individual’s freedom, but I don’t think it’s necessary to make a shrine.
Can’t we already see the entire land of Protestantism as a gigantic shrine?
“Not now, but just two generations ago, servants could only inhabit the land outside the castle.”
“why?”
“I thought that only the chosen ones could enter the inner world.”
Seo Liang smiled.
“There was all sorts of minor discrimination.”
Gorumazon scratched his head.
“I can think of it now, but it wasn’t in the past. I thought that the status was also the law that Pasun had established.”
“It’s up to interpretation.”
“exactly. In that respect, the subordinates are also very interested in who the next leader will be. A single word from the religious leader determines their future.”
“Well, it makes sense.”
Gorumazon asked quietly.
“If Samgongja becomes the next leader, what will you do?”
Dangerous questions are asked subtly and well.
Seo Liang shrugged.
“I don’t know until I try it. There is no such thing as ambition.”
“exactly?”
“yes. But I will definitely do one thing.”
“what?”
“I’m going to annihilate the Uicheon League.”
To a dangerous question, an even harsher answer came flying. Gorumazon, as well as Wichan and Joohwa, were surprised.
“Your Majesty?”
“why? Can’t we?”
“Oh, no, it’s not like that… … .”
The Uicheon League is the main enemy of the Heavenly Demon Goddess. It would be great for the Heavenly Demon Church if it could destroy such an alliance.
However, rather than saying that he would stabilize the inside or transform the Protestant Church into a new look, he said he would stop the Uicheon blindness. It was a bold statement, if bold.
‘This is amazing again.’
Gorumazon’s eyes sparkled.
‘Martial arts, speech, atmosphere, etc. are similar to the seven generations of our ancestors, but such a radical sense of holiness is also similar to the four generations of our ancestors.’
As soon as the first female religious leader, the Four Great Heavenly Demons became the religious leaders, they reorganized their forces and immediately started a war.
It was also the heavenly horse that opened the second heyday in the history of Protestantism. He has regrets about internal affairs, but he is sometimes said to be the best among all religious leaders when it comes to external governance.
If there were many excellent ministers and soldiers under the command of the Four Great Heavenly Demons… … Perhaps, he might have achieved the world of magic.
“Anyway, that’s not what’s important right now.”

Xi Liang looked at the coin.
“Did you say that something suspicious was found among the items that went into Jin Kwan-yong’s quarters?”
“That’s right.”
“And the suspicious item also went to Guanping’s residence for the past three years?”
“yes.”
She looked around once again.
“It seems that the middle source of the suspicious item was here.”
Joohwa nodded.
“That’s right. It was a shrine that was all crumbling, so there would be no danger of being found out by others.”
“I guess.”
Xi Liang’s gaze turned back to Zhu Hua.
A line of tension hung over the blunt face of Coin.
“So what is that suspicious item?”
“It is a dagger.”
“A dagger?”
Seo Liang tilted his head.
“Why is the dagger suspicious?”
“This is because the former Grand Duke Jin Gwan-yong and the criminal Kwan-pyeong do not use daggers.”
“Can’t their subordinates use it?”
“Considering the martial arts, personalities, and circumstances of the subordinates, there is a high probability that they will not use daggers either.”
“In fact, there are not many warriors who use daggers as their main weapon. It is mostly used as a secondary weapon. If it was bought to polish it so that it could be used at any time, it wouldn’t be particularly suspicious… … .”
“Even if you use daggers as your main weapon, carrying a box of hundreds of daggers every month is overkill.”
Seo Liang’s eyes flashed.
You got boxes of hundreds of daggers every month? Certainly this is too much, too much.
“Especially in the case of the Criminal Justice, to be exact, I have been using a dagger since four years ago. That’s 4,800 sacks of daggers with just the simple number.”
“Right. But where did all that dagger go?”
“That’s the problem. I tried to find out where the dagger was used, but there was a limit to that with the power of Joy.”
No wonder. There are traces left openly in the list of items, but to find out more, you must use the military department’s monument. This is because you have to investigate the place of residence, as well as analyze all the past information.
Seo Liang nodded.
“It’s a box of daggers received every month… … .”
Gorumazon intervened.
“Can’t you ask me directly?”
“… … .”
“Currently, Guanping is imprisoned in prison, so ask him directly. Wouldn’t something come out then?”
Juhwa also agreed with that opinion.
“Mazon is right. There is no surer way than that.”
Seo Liang thought so too.
You don’t have to rack your brains for this. There is a person in charge, so what are you going to do? As the two said, it would be the fastest way to go and ask Gwanpyeong.
but.
‘It’s hard to say.’
The super sense does not ring. As he reached the height of the extreme, his super senses melted into the upper level and did not activate as conspicuously as before.
Instead, something like a sharper intuition comes up. If the super sense controlled one’s actions, I think the intuition gained after reaching the peak is much more free.
It is an ability that has not been acquired in previous lives. It was the result of the guyumagong, which is higher than the shadowy period, absorbing all enlightenment.
That one sense was telling me.
‘I can’t go to Guanping.’
I didn’t even want to go. Gwanpyeong was not a heart-to-heart exchange with him, but a thorough transactional relationship. Do not make too many requests to an undesirable trade partner.
‘Leaving that aside, now that Jin Gwan-yong and Kwan-pyeong have been destroyed, they must be hiding themselves thoroughly.’
Rather than hiding their bodies, it would be more accurate to say that they are hiding their identities.
‘and… … .’
Xi Liang’s eyes shone.
‘Rather, he wants me to go to Guanping.’
once is fine But not twice.
They will definitely be suspicious, and they will hide deeper. Having analyzed the movements of the target many times during the killing spree, he was able to predict their psychology to some extent.
‘Surely they’re close.’
After thinking for a while, he said to Joo-hwa.
“Please contact the head of the Penal Code. Come to the military department.”
“yes?”
“If you tell me that, you will know. And one more.”
Xi Liang’s eyes shone.
“Oh Gongnyeo Joo Seo-yoon, Yook Gongja Jong Ri-yeong, and Chil Gongja Chae Yeo-min.”
“… … ?”
“As of this time, please report anything out of the list of items going into the residences of the three candidates.”
“… … !”
Juhwa’s face hardened.
“This is a presumptuous statement… … .”
“You know. That’s hard.”
“… … .”
“But I want you to remember why Yuanju Su entrusted you with this task and why you didn’t take care of it yourself.”
Joo Hwa swallowed her saliva involuntarily.
The fact that Su Yanxin entrusted her with this task laid the foundation for her to receive great help when Xi Liang came to power in the future. Although she maintains neutrality towards her successors, the Hwanhuiwon is also just one of the organizations struggling to please the cult leader.
If the battle for succession hadn’t been so overwhelming, Su Yan Shen would have refused Xu Liang’s request.
“All right.”
“Thank you.”
“I will move right now. Please contact me again.”
“Okay.”
So the coin went out of the shrine.
Xi Liang said to the three people.
“I think the three of you should return to your quarters.”
“Eh?”
Gorumazon tilted his head.
“Aren’t you going to move right away?”
“That’s right. To be precise, you shouldn’t look suspicious right now.”
What does this mean?
The sage’s eyes sparkled.
“I will contact the three people, no, the two people except for the above lord. If it goes my way, you can move in two days.”
Wi Hong-ryun raised his hand.
“Me?”
“You practice.”
* * *
“What?!”
Hoyoseong’s eyes widened.
“I knew when you would come, but I didn’t know that you would come so soon. That too… … .”
He looked behind him.
There was a gogu that was as blunt as it was two thousand times.
“Even the head of the Criminal Court is accompanied.”
“I have come to ask you something.”
“Please?”
“yes.”
“What is your request?”
“First things first.”
“Even more than two.”
“Before I get a harp, I want to see some information and records about my past.”
“… … ?”
“And the second.”
Seo Liang grinned.
“Our traitor teacher, you will be executed tomorrow.”
