Taejonbirok Volume 5 Episode 3
Chapter 33: The Lazy Man Goes on a Journey (3)
“Ugh.”
Yan Zhengli, the governor of Hubei Province, gritted his teeth as he looked at the young man before his eyes.
To be exact, I couldn't help but grit my teeth as I looked at the booklet that the young man in front of me was shaking.
“So… how much did you say it was?”
“Two nyang of gold.”
“Are you saying that you came to me just for two nyang of gold?”
"yes."
“Eu …
Who is he?
In Hubei, there is the Hubei governor Yeon Jeong-lip who is said to be able to bring down even a bird. It was so frustrating to see him unable to stop a single young man who was squawking right in front of him.
“Are you saying that you came to this body to receive two nyang of gold? Two nyang of gold!”
“Wow, Your Majesty, you speak of two nyang of gold as if it were nothing. Is the salary of a magistrate that high?”
“Ugh.”
The governor's salary is obvious.
How much of the money he has earned so far is his salary?
Other people wouldn't dare say such things to him, but it's the job of the inspector to find such things.
Moreover, he was not just any ordinary royal inspector, but someone who held the Royal Inspector's Sword that Lee Wang-ya had personally bestowed upon him. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he held his life in his hands as long as he had the evidence.
“Haven’t I already given you a great deal of wealth? And yet you came to me in the middle of the night to get that small amount of money? I’m astonished.”
“Money is such a futile thing. It just goes away like the tide, and wow… I really thought I was going crazy.”
I'm going crazy! I'm going crazy!
I'm going crazy, you idiot!
Yeonjeongrip, unable to calm his boiling stomach, picked up the entire teapot next to him and drank the tea in gulps.
“Eww! It’s hot!”
“Oh, like that.”
Wi Yeon-ho clicked his tongue as he watched Tae-su get up from his seat and run around.
How impatient must a person be to drink an entire pot of hot tea?
“Your Majesty, you need to calm down a bit.”
“Is there anyone outside?”
As the door opened and a servant came in, Taesu threw the teapot he was holding on the floor and screamed.
“Who told you to bring me hot tea!”
“Ha, but the Lord Taesoo always told me to prepare something hot…….”
“Hey! Who are you talking back to right now!”
Wi Yeon-ho shook his head from side to side.
“Go quickly and bring me something cold.”
“Yes, yes!”
Before I could even think about who Wi Yeon-ho was, the servant ran out and came back carrying a kettle filled with cold tea, with an attitude that was so natural.
“Hand it over here!”
Yeonjeongrip took the teapot, drank it in gulps, and then roughly put it down.
After muttering to himself for a while, he opened his mouth while looking at Wi Yeon-ho.
“You just need to give me two nyang of gold! But if you keep coming to me like this and threatening me, I won’t give in to it either.”
“This is the end.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes. It’s over.”
“Ugh…….”
Yeon Jeong-rip looked at Wi Yeon-ho with a suspicious look. Didn’t you say last time that you wouldn’t be seeing him again? How can you trust someone like that, sneaking into the bedroom at dawn and shaking books?
“And honestly, I can’t understand you, Taesu.”
“What are you talking about?”
“If you’re so worried, why don’t you just write a letter to King Yi? If you state that you support King Yi, then you won’t have anything to be afraid of.”
“It’s not as easy as it sounds.”
Yeon Jeong-rip opened his mouth after contemplating whether he should say something like that.
“Nokki is a much scarier person than you think. You just don’t know it because you’re a person of Iwangya.”
“I’m not on your side.”
“……Then? What was that golden sword?”
“I just brought what I was told to bring.”
“Okay.”
It would have been less burdensome to say that he was on Lee Wang-ya's side. How could someone say such things so shamelessly?
“That’s something I’ll take care of. Is two nyangs enough?”
"I……."
“What now!”
“If I may, could I get just one more nyang? Come to think of it, I don’t have any living expenses.”
Yeonjeongrip shook his head as if to say that they were completely incompatible.
“Is there anyone outside?”
The servant ran inside again and stood up straight.

“Did you call?”
“Go and bring me ten nyang of gold.”
“Oh!”
Wi Yeon-ho was delighted at the word ten nyang.
As soon as the bullet entered, Yeon Jeong-rip threw it at Wi Yeon-ho without any hesitation.
“Old!”
“Hehehe, thank you.”
Wi Yeon-ho was also polite.
Yeon Jeong-rip clicked his tongue as he watched Wi Yeon-ho bowing.
"but."
"……yes?"
“Keep in mind that if something like this happens again, I won’t tolerate it any longer.”
The position of governor of Hubei was not something that was won in a fight, and Yeon Jeong-lip radiated majesty.
“Yes. I won’t come back again. Then.”
As Wi Yeon-ho walked out, Yeon Jeong-rip sighed.
“He’s no ordinary guy.”
Even though I threatened him this much, he didn't even blink an eye, so there was no doubt that he was a bold guy.
“I told you to stick to Lee Wang-ya…….”
Who dares say such things in front of you?
“Hoo hoo hoo.”
Yeon Jeong-rip burst into laughter as he watched Wi Yeon-ho go out and shouted outside.
“Bring me a pen and ink!”
“That old man has a really strange personality.”
It was Wei Yanho who never thought about what he had done.
Wei Yanhu turned his head and shouted, feeling the heaviness of the sacrum jingling in his hand.
“Is it there?”
There was no answer.
“It’s here, so come out.”
Sssssut.
A figure dressed in black suddenly rose from the floor.
Wi Yeon-ho didn't even blink an eye at the sight of the strange sight, and instead took out two gold coins from his pocket and threw them.
“Is this okay?”
The person who received the money took the gold and looked at Wi Yeon-ho quietly before opening his mouth.
“When did you first notice it?”
“From the beginning.”
“…….”
Seo-Oh, Hao-Won's special agent, trembled.
Although he was thought to be second to none in terms of secret investigation, it is said that Wi Yeon-ho knew from the beginning that he was being followed.
Where should I start believing?
'There is no reason not to believe it.'
If not, there would have been no way to detect his movements that night.
'Caution.'
I couldn't help but feel wary of the person named Wi Yeon-ho.
“It’s not good to tail people like that.”
“I apologize.”
“No need to apologize. Instead, I’d like you to do me one more favor.”
“For free?”
“It’s not difficult.”
“It’s not my place to decide. I’ll listen to your request first and then decide on the amount.”
“I wish you could help me find the whereabouts of one person. That person is….”
Seo-oh snickered after hearing Wi Yeon-ho's words.
“I don’t know why you’re looking for him. Alright, the moment you get caught, it’s my fault, so I’ll tell you that much. He’s in the Wolhaseonin (月下善人).”
“Moonhaseonin?”
“The name of the tavern. It’s not far from the holy water market where you are, so you can ask the passersby.”
"thank you."
"then."
“Oh, and please tell me that I hope the assignment goes smoothly.”
“Haomen values requests as much as his life.”
“I wish that were the case. If possible, it would be good to have someone as skilled as you. It would have been better if you were a woman.”
“Huh huh…….”
As Seo-o disappeared into the darkness, Wei Yan-ho sighed.
“Phew, it’s the end here too.”
I spent much longer than I thought. At Hanlim University, I gained something in a short time, but here, I spent even more time than that, but I felt like I didn't gain anything in particular.
You may have acquired wealth, but what good is it after you die?
“I should go now.”
Wi Yeon-ho looked up at the sky miserably.
It seemed as if he could see his master laughing as if teasing him.
“Okay! I’m going!”
If he didn't experience more and learn more, one day he would not be able to handle the internal strife left by his master, and bang! his body would burst and he would die. And Wei Yanhu could tell that there was nothing more to feel here.
Although Jin So-ah and Jin Ye-ran were members of the same National Assembly, their goals were different.
It was surprising how people with the same orientation could be so opposed to each other just because of their differences in temperament.
I felt like if I kept watching them, I would be able to realize something, but unfortunately, nothing really hit Wei Yanhui.
Jin So-ah's life, Jin Ye-ran's life… … were too distant to Wi Yeon-ho.
His life as a doctor treating others also did not give him much enlightenment.
“Is this something you can learn?”
If it weren't for the conversation he had with Moon Yu-hwan at Hanlim University, Wi Yeon-ho would have gained nothing.
Either he was arrogant in thinking that he could gain something from simply observing other people's lives without experiencing them, or his master's expectations were too much from the beginning.
Either way, the result was the same.
“Hey, I’m going! Just one thing before that!”
Wi Yeon-ho hurried his steps, angry at his master who was no longer in this world.
The moonlight was brightly illuminating the world.
“Nights like this are good for me.”
Although Wi Yeon-ho is naturally hard-pressed to move at night, he had a feeling that he had to finish everything today.
“Phew.”
Wi Yeon-ho walked in a leisurely manner towards the direction of the Seongsu Market. After walking for a while and asking around to people passing by, he was able to find a tavern called Wolha Seon-in.
“……You got the name wrong.”
There was a damp feeling inside the main gate. It seemed more appropriate to call him a drunkard under the moon than a hermit under the moon.
Wi Yeon-ho stuck his head through the gate and looked around.
'Isn't there any?'
I opened my eyes and looked around again. I could see a person sitting at the very end of a corner, working alone.
“There it is.”
Wi Yeon-ho entered the tavern.
"hey!"
The person guarding the front of the tavern stopped Wi Yeon-ho.
“Children shouldn’t come to a place like this. Get out now.”
“Who is the child!”
“This guy is going to get in trouble!”
“I came because I have company.”
"party?"
At that moment, the person who had been writing inside raised his hand.
“You seem like a guest looking for me. Would you mind letting me in?”
The owner looked back and forth between Lee and Wi Yeon-ho, who were drinking inside, then frowned slightly and stepped back.
"lol."
As if to say, Wi Yeon-ho, who looked arrogant, went inside and sat down across from the person who greeted him.
widely.
As soon as I sat down, a glass was placed in front of me, and the person sitting across from me picked up a bottle of alcohol.
“Would you like a drink?”
“If you give it to me, I won’t refuse it.”
“Good.”
He poured some wine into Wei Yanhu's glass, then filled his own glass as well.
“Isn’t this a nice night for a drink?”
“Honestly, I don’t know much about alcohol, so I don’t know how to answer.”
“It’s a shame you don’t enjoy drinking. But can’t we share a drink together?”
“I can do that for you.”
Wi Yeon-ho raised his glass.
The man smiled broadly and lifted the glass with his only arm.
The glasses of Wei Yanhu and Dokbi clashed in the air.
