< High-quality death 5 >
The woman answered my question with her chin and hands shaking as if it was difficult for her to even say her name.
“Tae, the third branch of Taehwamun (太和門), Jin Daeseung. He said.”
“Taehwamun’s third son? Now that we know what kind of guy he is, let’s catch him right now···.”
After confirming the bastard’s identity, he told the woman, ‘Don’t worry, I’ll completely destroy you.’ Our party was originally a place that specialized in this kind of thing, so he was telling her not to worry.
Surprised cries were heard from the left and right.
“Taehwamun!?”
“Is it certain that Taehwamun is the third one!?”
When I looked around at the two people’s shouts, I saw that the old man and his older sister had quite a bewildered expression on their faces.
A face of disbelief.
Is that an expression with a bit of embarrassment added to it?
‘What is it? Something feels strange?’
Something feels off.
As I looked around to check their expressions, I immediately heard my sister’s voice.
[It is a sect belonging to the same Baekdo sect. And it is the sect with the largest power in Sacheon, following our Dangmun, Ami, and Cheongseong.
And there’s an important issue that I’ll get to in a bit.]
Clearly, I learned from my older sister and Grandfather of Mandokshin-gun that the strongest factions in Sacheon are the Emei faction, the Cheongseong faction, and our Sacheon Dangmun. They said that the factions below them are the best, so I should learn slowly. But the fact is that the place that guy belongs to is right below them.
The woman asked with an anxious expression on her face about our atmosphere.
“Uh, why? W-what’s the problem?”
Gupae Daeju exchanged glances with his older sister.
The master quickly came out and consoled the woman.
“No. It’s because your status is somewhat unexpected.
Now that we know his name, let’s check out his whereabouts and such. Young lady, I’ll give you some trouble, so take a bath in clean water, change your clothes, and rest comfortably.
“Eat some good food and get some rest, and you’ll hear good news. We’ll take care of the matter with the casino owner.”
As soon as the old lord finished speaking, the woman bowed her head to the ground again and expressed her gratitude.
-Thump, thump, thump!
“Thank you, sir! Thank you, young lady! Thank you, Confucius!”
He hit his head three times, so hard that his forehead was torn open and bleeding.
The surprised older sister had to call someone from the doctor run by the owner of the alleyway to examine the woman.
After the woman finished her short treatment, she followed the sibbi.
As the woman’s figure completely disappeared, the old man spoke with a sigh.
“Hmm… This seems more complicated than I thought.”
“Yes, I guess I should tell Grandpa and Father.”
My older sister nodded, holding her chin at the words of the old master.
I asked my sister.
Why are they both so serious and what is the important issue you mentioned earlier?
“Hwaeun, you clearly said there was an important matter, but what is it? Is it because his family is a great family?”
My sister frowned slightly at my question.
But, contrary to their expressions, they are still our Sacheondangga.
I heard a refreshing answer that there was no problem for the third son of such a worthless family.
“If what he did is true, then the family won’t be a problem. It’s something that can be dealt with quietly.”
“then?”
But what followed was not a satisfactory answer.
“However, in the world of martial arts, oaths and promises are considered extremely important. In particular, oaths made to one’s martial arts, family name, or nickname must be kept.”
‘Oh. Is this what they call a credit society in the martial arts world?’
When the martial arts world, where fists would come first, was surprisingly a credit society, my older sister continued her explanation.
“But our family has a pact with Taehwamun.”
“A promise? Are you talking about Taehwamun?”
“My grandfather’s father, my great-grandfather, once received great help from the Taehwamun, and because of that, even if the Taehwamun committed a great mistake or a sin worthy of death, he decided to unconditionally yield or forgive them.”
“yes!?”
‘Kka, Kkabangkwon!’
In the past life baseball and internet culture, there is something called the Kkabangkwon, which is a culture of forgiving a person who has done something wrong once or twice if they have achieved much greater things before or have shown efforts to cover up their mistake.
So, my older sister’s explanation was that Taehwamun possessed the right to prevent being criticized because of the achievements of the previous generation.
‘No, what is going on like this?’
He understood what was being said, so he asked the old man to take care of the woman, got into the carriage, and headed straight to the party house.
Because my older sister said that I probably should discuss it with the adults in the family.
Even a free pass is a free pass, but this is something that even a permanent pass can’t cover.
The party arrived like that.
I called my grandfather, my father-in-law, and my mother-in-law, who were about to go to bed, to the front desk and explained what happened that day.
“······So this happened, and I’m at a loss as to what to do. Grandpa.”
As the long statement of the older sister ended, the angry Mandokshin-gun grandfather and father-in-law shouted.
Our mother-in-law, who is weak-hearted, was moved to tears by the woman’s story.
“Taehwamun is a famous school in Sacheon, and the head of Taehwamun is a righteous man. A dog son was born under the tiger father!”
“Isn’t that too tragic?”
“That kind of evil spirit wearing a hat came from Sacheon! So that’s why that woman is now in Sacheondangga in Seongdo?”
“Yes, Father, I have already told the family doctors to treat your body.”
And after the angry cries ended, my grandfather and father-in-law already knew why we came to them in the middle of the night and told them this story.
The two of them asked with serious expressions.

“You said you would help me avenge the woman, but you must have come here because of the promise you made with Taehwamun?”
“Yes, Grandpa.”
The father-in-law and grandfather looked at each other, deep in thought.
Although the grandfather is the eldest man, the family’s affairs are decided by the father-in-law, the head of the household.
After thinking for a moment, the craftsman looked at my older sister and me and spoke in a solemn voice.
“The promise of the past is directly related to the honor of the Tang family. If an exception is made because of the woman’s circumstances, how can people make promises with the Tang family and trust the Tang family? The woman’s circumstances are so bad that the Tang family’s poison or bloodline forbids helping the woman!”
“Master! Grandfather! Please think about it again···.”
Are bad laws still laws?
No matter how good the credit society is, I never thought it would be cut off like this.
Of course, I had no choice but to ask her to take another look, but when I shouted, my sister grabbed my hand tightly and sent me a message.
[I’ll say okay and step back. Things went well.]
“?”
“I will follow the orders of the head of the Tang family, the Tang family.”
My older sister bowed her head and answered the question with respect to her father-in-law
My older sister dragged me out, who was flustered by the sound and the situation going on.
And then he pulled me back to where he had parked the carriage and said,
“Let’s go quickly. There seems to be a lot of work to do to help the poor young lady.”
The older sister said that there was a lot to do to help the woman, but the father-in-law forbade her from helping the woman.
I asked my older sister back.
“No, didn’t Hwa-eun clearly say that his father-in-law forbids helping women?”
Then my older sister smiled brightly and said.
“Obviously, Father forbade the poison of the Tang family and the blood of the Tang family to help women, but isn’t Xiaolong not of the Tang family’s blood?
He said that he would allow Soryong to help without using the poison of the Tang family, which could be suspected of being involved in the case.
Perhaps the promise of the previous generations was something like that. The Tang family’s bloodline would take a step back in matters with the Taehwamun.”
“!”
No, they say it’s a credit society, but they’re doing such dirty contract fraud that exploits the loopholes in contracts?
But originally, anything that others do cannot be that dirty, but if we do it, it is solid.
Wasn’t the original highest praise for a game ‘What a dirty game’?
I was growing more and more fond of our family’s Sacheondangga.
However, I was a little worried about the part where I was asked to help.
‘Now that I’m a member of the family, is it asking me to bring one to prove that I’m a member?’
It is a national rule that the original organization initiation ceremony is to be held at least once.
***
The next morning, when the sun rose, I called in the Great Lord Gupae and explained the results of my conversation with Grandfather Mandokshingun and my father-in-law the day before.
“······That’s how it happened.”
Then, the old lord nodded.
“Although you have received permission, you are probably told to absolutely avoid revealing your family background, so your room for movement is limited in many ways.”
“I’m glad there’s a way to help.”
“That’s true. Then, I’ll investigate his activities through the open side.”
“Yes, Lord Gupae. Then I will ask you to do so.”
The first thing I started with was to check the guy’s past actions and the pattern of his movements.
This was because the old master of the Gupae clan had once been in the Destruction Corps himself, and suggested that information gathering should come first in such cases.
I was a bit worried about the fact that they were entrusting the investigation to some kind of association.
‘Why are you entrusting the research to beggars?’
One afternoon, with some worry, the old master went out to investigate a place called Gaebong.
He called the woman over and had some tea to check on her condition.
“How was your day yesterday?”
“Yes, thanks for looking into it···.”
After washing, changing clothes, and combing her hair, the woman looked much better than yesterday.
During the day, the crickets stop chirping, so I’m still lucid.
There were still red burn marks here and there on his face.
Although a lot of time had passed at the temple, they said they would provide something like ointment that was good for burns, so we would have to monitor the progress of the treatment, but surprisingly, the woman was in good condition.
While I was looking at my older sister and the woman, I asked them when they started raising crickets and things like that.
I heard the voice of the old master, who was going to check the information since it was said to be open outside.
“Ah, miss. A guest has arrived…”
“Are you a customer? Please come in.”
Let’s allow them to come in, but the old man who was not a guest is entering the reception hall with a dirty old beggar.
The tense look on Gu Pae Daeju’s face came into view.
‘What kind of private looks like standing next to a division commander?’
The old lord said he was going to ask the beggar for information, but instead of providing information, he brought the beggar.
He looked puzzled at his tense appearance, but what was more surprising was that his older sister suddenly got up from her seat and bowed politely to the old beggar.
“I am the Tang Hua of Sacheon Dangga, and I would like to meet the Emperor. How can you be in Sacheon···.”
“Beggar Grandpa?”
The woman seemed to know the beggar, and I had a feeling that he might be the beggar from the story the woman had told yesterday.
As I was moving my gaze from the beggar, the older sister, and the woman, I heard the older sister’s urgent voice calling out to my ear.
[Little Dragon, take an example. You are the same Three Emperors as the Great Master of the Martial Arts World, the Great Master of the Martial Arts World. You are one of the three strongest people in the Martial Arts World.]
‘No, not even the King of Beggars, but the Beggar Emperor?’
I was surprised to hear that a beggar was on the same level as the leader of the martial arts world, but I greeted him as my older sister said.
I’m saying he’s the strongest person in the martial arts world.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Weisorong.”
Then, Geulhwang nodded and said with a curious expression.
“Khehe. I was curious about the fact that the Emperor, who said he would never accept disciples, passed down his martial arts skills. He really is a strange guy. He wraps such ugly things around his body.”
An old man who knows that, like the leader of the martial arts world, there are Wukongs wrapped around his body.
When I looked surprised at his words, which mentioned something that only the Murim Alliance leader, I, the Murim Alliance soldiers, and my family knew about, the old man laughed heartily and said.
“Haha. I heard you haven’t set foot in the world of martial arts for long, so it really is. Ask your fiancé for an explanation of me.”
[Elder Geulhwang is the ark of the great openness, and he is a person who knows all the events and rumors of the world.]
The old man’s words were followed by the older sister’s voice again.
I was a little suspicious when he said he would ask a beggar for information, but with that reputation, I started to feel a little more trustworthy when he said he knew everything about me.
“Do you know why I came here?”
The following question is from Geulhwang.
“Is it by any chance something about Taehwamun?”
The old beggar nodded his head at my answer.
The old man took the empty seat and spoke in a voice like a brat.
“Yes. That’s why I came.”
“Are you here to stop me?”
The old man shook his head in response to his sister’s question.
“No way. I couldn’t come forward myself because I didn’t have clear evidence, but I know the child’s plight, so how could I stop him? Since you guys practice righteousness and cooperation, I came to help.”
“yes?”
When my sister and I blinked at his sudden appearance and offer to help us, Geul-hwang patted his head and said:
-Knock knock.
“Don’t you need information? And I’m curious to see how the Emperor’s herald will resolve this.”
‘I guess you came to see the sights.’
The old man brought in onlookers because he said it had to be handled quietly.
Looking at him, the old lord scratched his head as if he felt sorry.
***
I was a little taken aback by the unexpected appearance of the onlooker, but he definitely helped.
“Twice in the additional villages outside the city limits and twice in the slums of the city itself. That’s about five times I suspect him.”
“Are there really that many?”
“I found that child in Sacheon and was curious about his circumstances, so I looked into what happened a few years ago through our children here. He’s been quiet lately and no one has stepped on his tail.”
It was revealed that he was dirtier than expected, and that he had a perfect grasp of the administration.
“So you’re saying that you don’t leave Taehwamun Gate except to go to the casino once every three days?”
“Yes. I don’t know why, but he seemed to be hiding after the incident with Song Ga-chon. That’s why I suggested that he use poison on that child.”
“okay.”
If that’s the case, then it would be right to handle it inside the casino.
Then, we thought we should also use poison inside the casino, but there was a problem.
They say that inside the casino, they serve alcohol and food to customers who gamble for a long time and lose all their money. Even if it’s not the poison of the party, you can find other poison, but how can you identify that guy’s glass or food among so many people?
If you approach him and give him the cup directly, he will be the first to be suspected when he consumes the poison and collapses.
After thinking about it carefully, I asked Lady Naok.
Clearly she worked in the kitchen, so how did she specifically poison that bastard’s food?
“But my lady, how did you put poison, or what you thought was poison, in that man’s food? I heard you worked in the kitchen.”
When I asked Naok So-jeo, who had once experienced failure, she nodded and answered.
“He’s a pretty big customer, so every time he comes he makes a picky order, and then the kitchen gets in trouble.”
“A tricky order?”
“I asked them to leave out food with crab or shrimp in it. So they poisoned that food.”
“Crab and shrimp? Do you hate them?”
I thought he was a bit picky, but Geul-hwang answered from the side.
“Didn’t that guy say that if he puts things like crabs or shrimp in his mouth, something will happen to his body?”
“Oh, that···!”
‘This kid’s been caught!’
What Geulhwang meant was that the guy was allergic to shellfish.
A murder plan that comes to mind like lightning.
‘I’ve become a member of the party too…’
Feeling bitter inside, I asked the old master for help.
“Gu-pae, would you please go to the party gate right now and bring me what I tell you?”
“Your Majesty, isn’t it forbidden for the Tang family to use poison?”
Gupae Daeju flinches, thinking that he is being told to bring poison.
He answered with a smile towards Daejoo.
“No, go and get me some yellow powder insects.”
“Are you talking about the yellow worm?”
“Yes, I am going to try to kill that guy in a really cool way.”
“?”
Everyone blinked with a look of incomprehension at my answer.
