◈ Episode 45. Battle of Shamelessness
Danryehwa asked as if it was absurd.
“Are you saying that you can’t empty it even after checking the document?”
“exactly.”
The red-haired man had an iron plate around his face.
“When we first came here, the roof of the pavilion was full of holes, the walls were not intact, and the neighborhood gangsters were hiding there and doing bad things. We’ve been managing this place for over ten years, renovating it to make it look like new, so if we tell you to leave now, would you be able to accept that?”
The single flower was amazing.
‘If this is new, then what is old?’
Unlike her, Jinmu-rip did not lose his composure.
‘It’s better to be shameless like this than to act half-heartedly.’
I was thinking of giving him some money if possible, but if it comes out like this, I don’t have to give him a single penny.
Jinmu Rip asked politely without even changing his expression.
“How can we help you win the lottery?”
The red-haired man’s smile was somehow sinister.
“Please find a place in the Holy Land that is exactly like this. Then I will leave.”
I don’t really want that and I don’t expect the other person to do it.
But the enemy knew that in order to negotiate, they had to start big and then lower the stakes.
‘Let’s start negotiations now, Prince of Madorim.’
The red-haired man began to shake his head, but Jinmu-rip nodded readily.
“All right.”
“If that doesn’t work, at least······. What? Do you understand?”
The red-haired man’s eyes widened at the unexpected answer.
Jinmu-rip smiled and stood up from his seat.
“Would a place like this be okay?”
“That, that, that’s right.”
“The Great Swordsman of Openness should not speak with two mouths.”
The red-crowned crane pounded its chest.
“Of course. Even though I am a beggar, I have never broken my word.”
“Then let’s find out from now on.”
As Jinmu-rip and his party left without looking back, Jeokmo-gae looked at Dongcho-gae with a puzzled face.
“This isn’t it.”
“What is it?”
Winter is coming soon.
Even if it was a remote place, I wanted to negotiate and find a place for the rebels to lie down.
But somehow, I got caught up in Jinmu-rip and ended up sending him away.
“What are they?”
“Why are you asking me that? Are you really not going to give me the prize?”
“For the time being, keep an eye on them to see what they’re doing.”
Dongchogae’s face was terribly crumpled.
“Me?”
“huh.”
“Even a dog avoids us because it smells, so you don’t think we’ll get caught tailing you, do you?”
“Go wash up.”
Dongchogae raised his head and lamented.
“Haha, the pride of openness will fall to the ground.”
“Is being dirty a source of pride? Aren’t you going quickly?”
When the red-faced magpie glared at him, Dongcho-gae reluctantly got up and his cheeks swelled up.
“f*ck. It’s my fault for coming in a little late.”
“I hear you. You little beggar.”
Jin Mu-rip, who had left the palace, glanced back and smiled.
Danryehwa sighed as if the ground was about to collapse.
“It’s different from the open-minded people I knew. I didn’t know they would be so shameless.”
“I won the bet.”
Danryehwa stuck out her tongue as if she was speechless.
“That would be great. So what are we going to do now? You’re not really planning on saving Jangwon, are you?”
“No way. If we beat them all up, wouldn’t they all go out?”
Dan Ryeo-hwa knows that won’t happen.
The opponent is open.
Although their influence in Sacheon was minimal, it would not be good for Madorim, who ran the upper class, to be at odds with them.
If you think about it long term, it means that even if there is a justification on this side, you cannot use force rashly.
“Don’t just say things that you don’t mean. Do you have a plan in mind?”
“They put a plate of iron on their face, so let’s do the same to this side.”
At that moment, Yoo Dae-ha, who had followed Lee Hwan, appeared in front of the branch.
“What happened?”
Jinmu-rip glanced at the stolen branch.
“Let’s grab a table first and talk.”
Danryehwa showed great generosity by renting the guest house’s annex for a month for them.
After a day of rest, Jinmu-rip and his party began to secretly collect information about the opening.

Here are Dan Ryeo-hwa and Jin Mu-rip, the masters of silver beading.
It didn’t take long to figure out the number of people living in Bunta, the number of people on standby, and even the structure of the branch.
After four days, Jinmu-rip finally left the inn’s main gate.
***
Dongchogae, who was sitting in an alley with a view of the guest house, kept cursing.
“Damn it. Why is the wind so cold today?”
After spending several nights on the streets, my mouth is starting to turn.
Two iron bars fell down in front of Dongchogae, who was grumbling while hugging his knees.
“Oh my, thank you. May you be blessed······.”
Jinmu-rip, who was reflexively greeting Dongcho-gae, smiled brightly.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
The startled Dongchogae fell flat on his face.
“Hey, how do I get here?”
“It looks very cold.”
Dongchogae turned his head from side to side upon hearing those words.
The body that should have been hiding in the shade under the wall was now lying in the middle of a sunny street.
“······.”
Dongchogae, who was scratching his head with an awkward face, quietly walked to the shade and hid himself.
“Please pretend you didn’t see it.”
He came to spy on me, but he asked me to pretend I didn’t see him.
Even Jin Mu-rip, who was rarely flustered by that shameless behavior, was speechless.
‘He’s a bigger punk than Yongchu.’
Jinmu-rip approached Dongchogae and handed him two silver coins.
“If you are not busy, could you spare some time for me?”
In an instant, the two silver coins disappeared from his hands.
Dongchogae, who had been laughing out loud, suddenly got up.
“Hehehe. What could a beggar be busy with? Just speak.”
“I’m looking for a manor to give to Gaebang. I don’t know the geography of the city very well, so could you give me some guidance?”
Dongchogae’s eyes widened.
“Are you really saying that I will save Jangwon?”
Jinmu-rip smiled faintly.
“How can a man say two things with one mouth?”
“her.”
I didn’t know that Buntaju would really accept such unreasonable conditions.
Dongchogae swallowed hard and nodded cautiously.
“Let’s go for now.”
In the place where Jinmu-rip and Dongchogae disappeared, Danryeohwa and others appeared.
Danryehwa said, clicking her tongue.
“You’re a really easy-to-get-together person.”
Jude smiled brightly.
“Anyway, now that the plan has started, let’s get moving.”
“Will this idea work?”
Danryeonhwa expressed her doubts, but there was no wavering in Yudaeha’s eyes.
“If the little prince says so, then it will be possible.”
She smiled brightly at Yudae’s honest attitude.
“I see. Yongso-hyeop will go with me.”
“yes.”
The three people, divided into two groups, disappeared in different directions.
The news that Jinmu-rip had begun to look into Jangwon was immediately relayed to Bunta.
The red-haired man’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“So, you really know Jangwon?”
Dongchogae, who had been wandering around with Jinmurip all day, nodded with a serious face.
“I’m telling you, I’ve been to three places today.”
The red-haired man, who had been thinking deeply, tilted his head.
“No, if that’s the case, why don’t you just buy a manor somewhere else and move in?”
“It has to be here. It’s a place that holds the history of Madorim.”
“her.”
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t understand Jinmu Rip’s intentions.
“He’s the guy who broke down the Great Checkpoint overnight. You never know what scheme he’ll come up with. If he gives you anything, don’t just accept it and keep a close eye on him.”
“······.”
“Why is there no answer?”
Hiccup.
When Dongchogae, who had been rolling his eyes, hiccupped, Jeokmogae looked at him with an incredulous face.
“already?”
Hiccup.
He’s really quick to accept it, for fear that someone might call him a beggar.
“······.”
When the red-crowned crane was at a loss for words, there was a commotion outside the door.
“Your Majesty!”
“what?”
“We have guests?”
“Another customer? Since when did the open market stall become a street vendor?”
When I came out into the yard, I saw Yongchu and Danryehwa carrying a large wine jar and a pig.
Her pupils moved slightly from side to side.
‘The number of permanent residents in Bunta is eight. At least four people are always guarding the inside. We have to drag them all out.’
The sight of beggars swarming around and swallowing their saliva is quite a sight.
While the red-haired man was clicking his tongue, Danryehwa politely took the lottery ticket.
“See you again.”
“What’s going on? What is that?”
“This is a gift from our little prince to you, Lord Bunta.”
“A gift? Why on earth?”
I could never understand giving a gift to a person who refused to leave his own home.
“The Duke sent this to express his small gratitude for the hard work he has put into managing the estate.”
“Are you serious?”
I knew it couldn’t be true, but I couldn’t help but ask.
Danryehwa smiled brightly.
“Of course. Who in the world would want to be open-minded and stubborn? I am looking into the best place for Open-minded to move to, so please don’t blame me for not being sincere and accept me. I would be grateful.”
At her wink, Yongchu put the wine jug and the pig down on the floor.
Then the beggars looked at the red hat with longing eyes like possessed people.
It’s like returning something you’ve already brought.
The red-haired man spoke with a trembling face.
“They said they’d give it to you, so just eat it, kids.”
“yes!”
Danryehwa, who smiled brightly, took Yongchu and retreated.
“Then I will go back now.”
From that day on, alcohol and meat were delivered to Gaebong’s Bunta every day.
When the red-crowned crane, wary of Jinmu-rip, expressed its intention to refuse, Danryehwa and Yongchu left the food they had brought in front of the door and disappeared.
Since I can’t throw it away, I have no choice but to eat it.
The other beggars praised Jinmu-rip until their mouths were dry, but Buntaju Jeokmogae was different.
‘What on earth are you up to?’
A piece of meat suddenly appeared before the eyes of the red-haired man who was lost in thought.
“Your Majesty, please listen.”
In front of Bunta’s yard. The meat on the bonfire was already golden brown.
The red-crowned crane that had received the meat asked the red-crowned crane.
“Did you go to check up on Jangwon again today?”
“After a few days of guidance, he now knows how to get around on his own. But as expected from a saint, the prices are not cheap.”
“What do you think?”
Dongchogae is usually at odds with himself, but sometimes he can shine in unexpected situations.
“It’s very juicy and delicious.”
The red-haired man’s face suddenly distorted.
“Not that, my child. I mean, the little prince. Do you really think he’ll save Jangwon?”
“hmm.”
Dongchogae cooled his head.
“Honestly, I don’t know.”
“I think so too. If the little prince goes to see the master every day, and the woman and the ugly man who looks like an evil spirit bring meat every day, what does the other one do?”
“That guy was wandering around like a little prince?”
“You don’t know where you’re going?”
“I only have one body, how can I watch both?”
The total number of members of the Bunta was twenty, but twelve had left to gather information from the chief and the other men.
Because of that, the beggar with the second highest rank in the branch right now was Dongchogae, the third-ranking official.
It is difficult to entrust tailing to these people who have just started learning martial arts.
‘All the useful ones have been kicked out······. This is really frustrating.’
I feel better if I curse and denounce openness.
Because you can just go ahead and do it shamelessly as planned.
But since I couldn’t know what the other person was thinking, it felt like a thorn stuck in my throat.
***
It was the tenth day of repeating the same routine every day.
Everyone gathered together in Jinmu-rip’s room for the first time in a while.
“Judaeha. What did you ask me to find out?”
Judaeha’s two eyes sparkled.
“I found it.”
“I’ve also looked for a suitable place to live… and from today onwards, I’ll stop drinking alcohol and eating meat.”
Danryehwa nodded.
“all right.”
I never thought I would be involved in such a plan.
But for some reason, I feel happy and excited.
‘Am I being influenced by this person?’
This pounding feeling was strangely unfamiliar and yet welcome.
Jinmu-rip smiled brightly after seeing her shining eyes.
“Then from now on, I’ll show those guys whose cheek is thicker.”
