Episode 93. The start of Pasunje was splendid (2)
“Whoa, that’s hard.”
So Yeon-shim put her hand on her forehead.
Yeon-il said carefully.
“You have been up for three nights already. How about closing your eyes for a while?”
“no. Pasun Festival is already three days away, but there is a mountain of work. There is no time to rest.”
“If you do, take a break even if it’s half time. I and the State Secretary will put the finishing touches on the matter.”
In an instant, the word ‘Is that so?’ almost popped out.
So Yeon-sim shook her head.
“You suffered just as much as I did. Besides, it hasn’t been long since Hwa-ah regained martial arts. As long as I can, I will do it.”
Day after day, I sighed inwardly.
So Yeon-sim was a wonderful boss. He was good at work, knew how to care for his people, and was a great boss who took on difficult tasks himself.
And it was a difficult relationship as well.
Since ancient times, when the superior suffers, the subordinate tends to notice that much.
Soyeonsim knew that, but said he couldn’t help it. It’s because she has such a perfectionist tendency.
Day after day, I respected such a small heart. The request to rest was only a word of sincere concern, not out of concern.
Of course, I should have known this answer would come out, but… … .
‘I’ll have to ride a car with a good guy.’
It was a time when every day bowed his head and tried to retreat.
“Cow Wonjuu!!”
So Yeon-sim and Yeon-il were startled by the loud voice coming from beyond the window.
“What is this voice?”
“Cow Wonju! I’m here! Give me a minute!”
So Yeon-shim opened her mouth blankly.
Day after day, he smiled and bowed his head.
“We will take care of the material arrangement. Wonju-nim will receive an honored guest.”
“… … That should be it.”
After a while, Xu Liang and Su Yansim sat face to face in the Wonju room.
“I’m sorry for coming without a message.”
“Do you miss the word? Rather, I am sorry.”
“Eh? What else does Wonju have to be sorry for?”
“I should have visited you right away because of the convoy the other day… … Am I too late?”
Xiliang tried to pass it off as a pleasant joke.
Immediately after that, he tried to lighten the mood by saying things like why he was so late in drinking and buying things, and that it was only right for a guy younger than a year to come to visit first.
But when I saw So Yeon Shim’s face, I couldn’t do that at all.
‘They’re all sick.’
The clear and transparent skin was crumbly, and the area around the eyes turned black and sunk in. Since he was an honored guest, he had decorated it in his own way, but anyone could see that he was exhausted.
“Keerhem, it’s okay. I completely forgot, what.”
“It’s not like that though. I would like to take this opportunity to apologize formally.”
I lowered my head, but my movements were slow. Even though she was tired, she didn’t look like she was normally tired.
It seemed that even masters could not help the fatigue caused by heavy work.
“And thank you. If it wasn’t for Gongja, the convoy’s mission would have ended in failure.”
“You heard everything from the State Secretary.”
“yes.”
“Well, because I was too stubborn, I ended up dragging the governor to death. It just seems like nothing.”
“If you say so, I will thank you.”
Seo Liang licked his lips.
Soyeonsim asked with a bright face.
“By the way, did you come here because of fish? Is there anything else you would like to ask of me?”
“Well, in my heart, I wanted to have a drink or a binge, but I also have work of my own… … I apologize for coming in while construction was busy.”
I’m sure you have a request.
So Yeon-shim smiled and asked.
“no. So, what did you come for?”
“It’s something that could mess things up a bit. I don’t know if it’s normal… … Well, I apologize in advance.”
“What time is it?”
“I came here for the matter of a dead prisoner.”
die? who dies?
“Wasn’t a lady-in-waiting who worked for the Joy Institute killed the year before last?”
In an instant, So Yeon-sim’s face hardened.
“… … Is that what you came for?”
“That’s right.”
“Why?”
That’s a pretty sharp reaction.
Six of the victims belonged to Gaiden and the remaining one belonged to Hwanheewon. She, like Aenghwa, only learned the inner gong simbeop, and she was a half-sik, mother-in-law who did not know martial arts.
There is no boss who is happy to hear that a member of his organization has been murdered. Even so, Soyeonsim’s reaction was overly sharp.
Seo Liang, who had been quietly examining So Yeon Shim, asked as if tossing it.
“Did you know?”
“… … .”

“Did you know that there is a real culprit?”
“… … How did Confucius know that?”
I knew that too.
“It doesn’t matter how you know. But what is important is that I am running around sweating to catch the real culprit.”
“yes?”
Seo Liang ate his appetite.
“I want to catch the real culprit this time.”
Soyeonsim asked with a bewildered expression.
“Are you Gongja? In person?”
“It happened.”
“No, why on earth is Gongja-nim doing that? It’s right that this kind of thing is handled by the Criminal Law Party… … .”
“… … .”
“By any chance, did the Criminal Court ask for cooperation?”
“As expected, your eyes are a ghost.”
“Did you hear about the identity of the real culprit?”
“I heard.”
hook!
Intense demonic energy soared from So Yeon-shim’s body.
The Magi was burning with rage. Whatever the case may be, So Yeon-shim is also a super-skilled person in charge of Hwanhee-won, so the pressure from the demonic energy she exudes is truly amazing.
“Who is it, the real culprit?”
“I cannot tell you that.”
Soyeonsim did not ask what the reason was. Even if he was the head of the Criminal Law, he would have told him not to flinch about the identity of the real culprit.
The fewer people who know about this, the better.
“great. Confucius wants to catch the real culprit, but we have to provide him with information.”
“Thank you for your understanding.”
“you’re welcome. You should roll up your arms and help.”
“I would appreciate it if you could also tell us about the victim’s detailed personal details, physical characteristics, and usual habits.”
After a while, a mine brought documents.
“It’s a total of five sheets. All the information about the victim is written here.”
“I have received it well. From the looks of it, you seem to be busy, but I will leave first.”
“Confucius.”
“yes?”
“… … Please hold onto it.”
Seo Liang smiled reassuringly.
“I’ll try to catch it somehow.”
After Seo Liang left, So Yeon Shim, who had been lost in thought for a long time, pulled a string in the air.
“Did you call, Wonju?”
“Every day.”
“yes.”
So Yeon-shim’s eyes grew cold.
“Choose a list of the leaders who will be participating in the pasun festival and bring them.”
If you were a normal Seoryang, you would surely have brought up the word ‘Pasunje’. Because it was a habit of Seo Liang to instinctively dig into and find out what the other person was like.
Today, however, Xi Liang did not mention the pasun festival. Perhaps he feared that she would catch her whiff of her true culprit.
In addition, the Criminal Law Party asked one of the successors, not anyone else, to do this.
If only investigation skills were needed, the Criminal Law Party would have tried to solve it on its own. It will be much more professional and certain.
In other words, it means that it is difficult for criminal law party members to easily touch the real culprit. If so, there was a high possibility that the real criminal was a high-ranking man who wanted to participate in the pasun festival.
“Especially, don’t leave out the list of Seven Madokas.”
If the power was weak or alone among the high-ranking officials, the Criminal Law Party would have contacted the military department rather than a successor candidate. It won’t be highlighted as a political issue.
Therefore, there is a high probability that the true culprit is a demon belonging to the Mado Chilga.
‘If he doesn’t tell me, I just have to figure it out myself.’
It was the moment when So Yeon-sim’s extraordinary head shined. With just a few words of conversation and the situation, you can quickly dig into the group to which the real culprit belongs.
A force more frightening than martial arts, it was the nunchi and the brain.
‘I’ll be sure to catch it.’
She was known for taking good care of her subordinates. Even though it happened two years ago, she still couldn’t forget it.
So Yeon-sim rose from her seat.
All the fatigue that had accumulated so far was blown away in an instant. What took the place of the disappearance of fatigue was the wrath of the highest power in charge of the finances of the Heavenly Demon Church.
A day passed just like that.
* * *
“My head hurts terribly.”
It was the complaint of Xi Liang who threw a code book as thick as the length of his index finger.
Fighting!
Ma Dong-pil’s eyes trembled.
On the bed, the seat where the law book fell is completely lost. I could see how much murderous content that code contained.
There was another scarier fact.
“all… … Did you read it?”
“uh? uh, roughly?”
Ma Dong-pil could not think of Seo-ryang as a human being.
Seo Liang waved his hand as if it was annoying.
“That’s not a martial art match, so there’s no need to go and look for the meaning one by one, right? I just skimmed it. I don’t even remember the placenta.”
“Still, you are amazing.”
“Awesome? As you can see, it’s just a law code full of puns. If you look at that, the Criminal Law Party is also completely selfish.
If you catch and throw them away and take a few rough shots, you become a criminal right away.”
The grumbling Seo Liang yawned languidly.
It wasn’t enough that I didn’t sleep for three days and rechecked the magic arts, so one day I was engaged in training and one day I skimmed through that code.
He hadn’t slept for five days already. Even the best masters couldn’t help but feel tired.
“How about closing your eyes?”
“I still think so. After checking one thing.”
Xu Liang glanced at Ma Dong Pil.
“How are you?”
“yes?”
“How is your body? It must be quite a new world.”
Ma Dong-pil’s face brightened at once.
“Awesome. I could never have imagined that such power could be hidden in me.”
“Yeah, I couldn’t even imagine. To think that you were suppressing your power so ignorantly.”
“… … I have no face.”
“Why do you have no face with me? You should not be ashamed of your unfree spirit.
What do you do if you have a strong will? The accident hardened. You’ll come later on the day you get hit with a big blow.”
“… … .”
“I’m not talking about it, so you don’t have to be down like that, man.”
“Ah, yes.”
Seo Liang grumbled softly. I thought it was quite harmful, but it was still so stiff that I couldn’t even understand the joke.
Ma Dong-pil’s face became awkward.
‘It wouldn’t be easy to do this.’
I realize that I am a person who is not very good at being condescending. Well, he’s a charming person with that kind of simplicity.
“Isn’t the magic skill you learned from the Ho Court?”
“Yes, it is a martial art that all guards of the Ho Court are learning.”
“The head of the Ho Court?”
“Ah, Daehobeop has learned a higher level of magic.”
“Hmm.”
Seo Liang, who had been stroking his chin, nodded.
“I’ll see you again later. Surely it’s a secret and you’re not going to let me know, right?”
“Ah, of course.”
Rather, it is a complaint even if it is unobserved. How could he refuse to say that Chogosu would look at his martial arts?
“Okay, that’s it.”
Lying on the bed, Seo Liang closed her eyes.
“Wake me up when the sun goes down.”
“Do you have anything else to do?”
Seo Liang grinned.
“What else can I do? It should be firmly attached to the martial arts or body. I guess I’ll have to move here and there to catch the real culprit anyway. decidedly… … .”
“… … ?”
“You are a new world, but I am also looking at a new world. I plan to completely complement it until Pasunje.”
“… … !”
“sleep.”
One day, two days, three days pass.
Finally, the night before the pasun festival came.
