Episode 232
gate crasher
‘The ‘Jal’ of the death penalty is different from the ‘Jal’ of ordinary people.’
I’m not just saying this, it’s very well… … No, it meant that you had to do extremely well.
Baek Seung-moo’s eyes shined even though he felt tremendous pressure.
‘This deal. I’ll have to make it happen at least a little more advantageously.’
As soon as Jeong Gwang left the room, a fierce war of words began.
“Baek Sohyeop. “You must consider that the unit price of the salt we purchase from the country is not everything you see.”
“That is natural. Would it be easy to beat countless competitors and receive the seal? “It will cost a lot of money to maintain it.”
“Thank you for your understanding. “It won’t take long to find an agreement.”
Namgoongyeon grinned.
Baek Seung-moo was not a very easy merchant.
“So that’s it. “Mr. Namgung, please understand.”
“What do you mean?”
Seungmoo Baek rolled up his sleeves.
The scars all over his arms pierced Namgung-yeon’s eyes.
“It means that we also made a lot of sacrifices. Risk your life.”
“… … “It looks like there are more wounds that haven’t healed for a long time.”
Baek Seung-moo was not embarrassed by Nam Gung-yeon’s sharp criticism.
Rather, I accepted it.
“Because there is a past, isn’t there a present? Just as Huisang (徽商) went through a lot of hardships and accumulated wealth in order to acquire Yeomin, we would like you to understand that we have also fought a battle of life and death to secure the waterway dominated by the eighteen Yangtze River Waterways.”
“… … .”
As Namgoongyeon glared at him, Baek Seungmoo pointed to his top.
“If you want to see other wounds from the Yangtze River, I can show them to you right away.”
“… … .”
Seungmoo Baek was inwardly delighted.
I thought Namgoongyeon would blush and dissuade me, saying it wasn’t necessary.
“Show me.”
“… … yes?”
“Now that things have come to this, shouldn’t we look at everything and come up with an estimate?”
“… … .”
This time, Baek Seung-moo was silent.
As expected, Namgoongyeon was not an easy opponent.
‘There’s nothing I can’t show, but if I take my top off here… … .’
He will gain notoriety in the Namgung family as a rare idiot who molested the Namgung family’s forbidden daughter.
‘… … Let’s brace ourselves! ‘You can’t be pushed!’
Namgung-yeon was the same.
‘… … You’re really ready to take it off! ‘Aren’t you willing to use any means to achieve your goal?’
The two people glared at each other and collided.
Beyond the fierce war of words, a fierce battle ensued in which even one wrong word could result in the purchase or sale of a village.
Beads of sweat formed on the foreheads of the two people.
It had been a long time since my spine had been wet.
There are too many things to consider to discuss in detail, so even just getting a general outline is exhausting!
When Jeong-gwang healed his internal injuries with a fortune-telling breakfast, met with Heo-cheong, talked about the progress of the work, and even enjoyed a brief nap, he returned. The two people were almost exhausted.
Jeong Gwang spread his arms with a smile on his face.
“Hey. The room is very warm. “Did you have a good time?”
“omg. omg. “Yes, the priest is not normal.”
“What about the priest?”
“hook. hook. “I gave her both hands and feet to Sojeo Namgung.”
Jeong Gwang patted Baek Seung-moo’s back with a faint smile.
“I trust you did well, priest.”
“… … Ah, probably so.”
“Nangong Soje, please go back and rest. “Today is not the only day.”
“… … All right.”
Namgung-yeon got up from his seat and was about to leave when he looked back at Baek Seung-mu.
A light like a flash of light appeared in the dead eyes of the two people.
“… … See you tomorrow, Baek So-hyeop.”
“… … “I’m waiting with joy, Namgung Sojeo.”
When Namgung-yeon left, Jeong Gwang came close to Baek Seung-moo and asked.
“What happened?”
“I could barely grasp the big picture. Fortunately, we were not pushed back, but we need information to discuss the details. First of all, I asked the Yu Small Cooperative of Openness to find out the unit price at which Hwisang purchases goods, including salt, and how the distribution network is spread… … .”
Baek Seung-moo explained endlessly like Zhao.
Jeong Gwang listened with a bewildered expression on his face and then cut off his words.
“No, let’s talk about work later. “How was Namgung Sojeo?”
“ha. They really have great merchandise. “I haven’t faced such a difficult opponent since Death Commander in the Continental Battlefield.”
“Commander Death? “That guy from Kang So-san?”
“yes.”
“That guy is a man.”

“You know death penalty well. “Sanggye is a place where you are treated based on your abilities, and it doesn’t matter whether you are a man or a woman.”
Baek Seung-mu explained with a straight face.
Jeong Gwang sighed loudly.
“done. “What do I want from a priest?”
“yes?”
A mixture of sadness and sorrow appeared in Jeong Gwang’s eyes.
Namgung-yeon’s talent and personality were so good that they gave him a place, but… … .
‘It opened. This guy is a heavenly Taoist.’
This is what happened.
The death penalty must fulfill its duty.
It would be right to lead people to a path that suits their aptitude.
“Priest, let’s just quickly go back to the main text and receive the Tao title first. “That’s what happens anyway.”
“… … ah!”
Only then did Baek Seungmu realize.
“Fine, death penalty. But I don’t know what to do… … .”
“You don’t even know the priest’s name?”
“Well, not to that extent. “Haven’t we had a lot of time together?”
“We weren’t together, we were just a group. Then it’s probably confusing. “They always say Baek Sohyeop and Baek Sohyeop, but how can I remember their names?”
“execution!”
When Baek Seung-moo exploded, Jeong Gwang also exploded.
“Why is this guy who knows how to treat me so rude in front of women? The nanny is going to cry! My only son… … ah. It was second. Then it doesn’t matter. “Let’s talk about work.”
“… … .”
Baek Seung-moo opened his mouth and then explained the conversation he had with Namgung-yeon.
Jeong Gwang, who was listening while shaking his head, smiled in satisfaction.
“Priest, you are very cruel. “It’s like a well-established businessman.”
“It had to be that way. Namgung Sojeo is so thorough and sharp… … .”
“okay. good job. What do you do with dating? “Work comes first.”
“… … .”
“Go to your room and rest. ah. You said you had to ask Yoo Sohyeop, right? Come with me.”
Jeong Gwang met Yoo Jeong-pung with Baek Seung-mu.
“Yoo Sohyeop. “What happened when you left?”
“They said they didn’t see any new forces or suspicious people. There was no significant movement in the Namgung family. “I told you to investigate further.”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“With something like that.”
“I ask for your trouble again.”
“… … “What do you mean?”
Seungmoo Baek came forward and laid out the necessary information.
The shadows on Yu Jeong-pung’s face became darker.
“ha… … “I usually become a beggar because I don’t want to work, but I have no time to rest.”
“I’ll cheer you up.”
Jeong Gwang gathered the Bloodless members.
And when he explained what kind of business he was planning to do, the members looked impressed but confused.
‘It’s amazing, but… … .’
‘… … ‘Why are you saying that?’
Jeong Gwang was not the type of person to brag to others.
‘for a moment. Could this be… … .’
‘… … Even for us?’
As they thought.
Jeong Gwang is a man who knows how to take care of his people.
He declared that he would give a small amount of shares to the members.
“… … Let’s go like this. “If you shed blood and sweat, you should be rewarded.”
“Wow!”
“It’s not confirmed yet.”
“Jinokryong! True Jade Dragon!”
Everyone was happy.
How many people can be detached in front of money?
Because I had a vague idea of Jeong Gwang’s abilities, I was able to cheer even though the task was not accomplished.
“ah. And there is someone I would like to give a generous gift to.”
Jeong Gwang said he would give Daejin, a shaman who was on the verge of extinction, a larger share than the other members.
The members sincerely congratulated him, and in Daejin’s eyes, the young blood glowed beautifully with water.
“Sobriety, and all… … “Thank you.”
“What.”
Daejin felt a little hope.
There must be a presumption that things will work out well, but the shaman who is a recluse has a stable income.
‘… … Even if it’s not as much as Jin Yuryong gave me, I have to pay back to some extent. You have to work hard.’
I’ve only received it so far, but I can’t believe I’m receiving it again.
I was very tempted to ask about the mysterious Taegeuk that Jeong Gwang drew on the Yangtze River, but I didn’t have the shame to ask.
‘There’s no way you’ll get an answer if you ask. ‘I’ll tell you first when the time comes.’
It was really important, but what can you do?
From what I have experienced so far, Jeong Gwang was that kind of person.
Meanwhile, the other members who were happy were also lost in their own thoughts.
‘I can tell my father and use it to pay for our younger generation’s research on poison. I spend what’s left over for family events.’
‘Amitabha Buddha. I am now able to help those in need. It is the blessing of Buddha.’
‘Hehe. Most of it will be taken away by Master, but it won’t be a problem to take a break from begging occasionally and eat and drink to your heart’s content.’
‘I was worried about financial issues after coming down from Mt. Amisan. I now have the funds to stand on my own. We can also provide help to the head office.’
‘I never thought I would make this much money. Her mother doesn’t have to get her hands wet. Thank you, Jinokryong. Sobbing.’
Cheolwol spoke because he was a man who found it difficult to think.
“taoist! “I don’t understand what Cheolwol is saying!”
“It’s good. “Enough to eat and drink to your heart’s content for the rest of your life.”
“Cheolwol understands! “Taoists are good!”
“Yes, of course.”
Jeong Gwang looked around at the members and shook his head.
‘It’s a shame to eat alone. ‘You can go like this.’
It was planned to monopolize the water transport of the Yangtze River and transport salt and tea to the western border.
It was clear that if things started going well, there would be a lot of envy and jealousy.
‘When that time comes… … .’
Is it possible for the family and clan they belong to to remain silent?
I will defend you with all my heart and soul.
A smile appeared on Jeong Gwang’s lips.
“ruler. ruler. I have to eat dinner. Shall we go?”
“yes! Sober!”
Namgunghwain did not want the Cheonryongdan and the Bloodless Dan to see Namgungse often with his relatives, so he brought them food under the pretext of treating them with great hospitality when the time came.
Thanks to this, the bloodless group was able to eat and drink comfortably in their own accommodation.
Jeong Gwang was also able to eat meat and drink to his heart’s content.
As time passed, my stomach was somewhat full. Jeong Gwang focused the attention of the members.
“I couldn’t find the soldier today, but I will definitely find him.”
“… … .”
“So you have to be fully prepared.”
The members nodded with stern faces.
“See you tomorrow then.”
Yoo Jeong-pung went out to get information, and Baek Seung-mu was tearing out his hair thinking about calculating various things.
As the members dispersed to their respective rooms to have breakfast, Jeong Gwang also went into his room and lay down on his bed.
And as the night deepened, he used his stealth skills and headed to Namgunghwain’s residence.
Jeong Gwang climbed onto a pavilion with a clear view of the place and looked around.
‘There are quite a few clans.’
He must be on guard because of his memories of stealing bribes from the Murim Alliance.
‘But you’re clumsy.’
Many warriors were advancing in their own way, but the most important places were empty.
‘To protect it properly, you have to occupy the roof. Are you planning to lure me in?’
As I expanded my energy, I felt the familiar energy of Namgung Painter.
‘For now, I am inside.’
As I expanded further, I could sense people hiding under the roof.
‘It’s a skill that I’ve had quite a bit of training in. ‘I guess they’re the ones responsible for the dirty work.’
It was at a poor level compared to Zao, but if it was so tightly packed, it was difficult to squeeze in no matter how concentrated it was.
‘It means that uninvited guests should not come at all. ‘It’s a waste of time to wait any longer.’
Jeong Gwang went back to his dorm.
Then he called Zhao and gave him a mission.
“Please keep an eye on the Nangong family while maintaining a distance of at least ten feet. If any unusual movement is detected, let us know right away. “Is it possible?”
“of course.”
“It won’t happen, but if you get caught, run away from the market. “I will come right away and help you.”
Zhao pounded his chest.
“Like you said, that won’t happen. My specialty is espionage and assassination, and I have received the teachings of Jin Ok-ryong to become Ilchiwoljang… … .”
“ah. If you get caught by an arrogant old man, just tell him that I sent him. “The Taesang family is not an easy person.”
“… … All right. “Be careful.”
As Zheng Guang raised the alarm, Zhao disappeared with a cautious look on his face.
Jeong Gwang closed his eyes and had a fortune-telling breakfast.
Three flowers floated above his head, sprinkling bright light.
‘I’m looking forward to it. It must have increased just a little bit.’
When the sun came up, I had to meet Namgunghak and fight again.
‘As arrogant as he is, he’ll have something to show.’
Three flowers opened their petals wide.
* * *
Zhao returned before dawn.
“There was no significant movement.”
“Thank you for your hard work, eat breakfast and sleep well.”
Jeong Gwang enjoyed a meal with the members.
Baek Seung-moo was busy calculating various things based on the information he received from Yoo Jeong-pung, who returned at dawn.
After drinking tea, as the sun rose high, Namgung-yeon came.
“Jinokryong, Lord Taesang is looking for you.”
“yes. song.”
“You said you also wanted to see Baek Sohyeop.”
“oh!”
Jeong Gwang looked at Nam Gung Yeon with surprised eyes.
“Nangung Soje, no way… … ?”
“yes. You expressed interest in the business. I want to see for myself what kind of person the practitioner is… … .”
“Haaa.”
“… … “Why are you doing this?”
Jeong Gwang shook his head.
“it’s nothing. “Let’s go.”
Jeong Gwang headed to Namgung Hak’s residence with two people who seemed to be living alone for the rest of their lives.
And when he saw Namgunghak, his eyes opened wide.
‘Did you stay up all night?’
Namgunghak’s face had darker shades than Yu Jeongpung’s.
But both eyes were fluttering hotly.
“You’re here. “I was waiting.”
“It looks like something good happened to you.”
“It’s nothing special.”
“I think you want to show me right away?”
An arrogant smile appeared on Namgoonghak’s lips.
“You deserve to see this.”
Jeong Gwang also smiled.
“I’ll take a good look.”
The moment when the clash was about to begin again following the previous day.
Jeong Gwang and Namgoonghak’s gaze focused on one place.
A man sat down on the roof of the pavilion and looked down at them.
“Because it looks fun. “Don’t worry about me, just do your job.”
Namgoonghak’s eyebrows rose at the man’s words.
