Taejonbirok Volume 14 Episode 10
Chapter 79: The Lazy Man, Imprisoned (5)
Everyone's eyes were focused on Wi Yeon-ho.
But Wei Yanhu whistled and turned his head to the other side.
'I'm looking for you, Inma!'
People looked at him with bewildered faces, but Wei Yanhu calmly turned away from their gaze.
“He asked, ‘Who is Wi Yeon-ho?’”
The guard frowned at the warden.
“Oh, that’s…….”
The guard was about to raise his hand when he saw Wei Yanho raising his fist behind the golden guard.
'whatever!'
Even just from his expression, I could feel his determination to ‘not let you off easy if you speak.’ It was a threat that the powerless head of the palace guards could not handle.
“I’m also good at…….”
"what?"
The King looked at the warden as if he found it absurd.
“Aren’t you the warden?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“But you don’t know who the prisoner is?”
I know.
Of course you know, man.
But if a person were to say everything he knows, even ten throats would not be enough.
"sorry."
The guard, who had been staring at the prison guard, turned his head and looked at Wi Jeong-han, who was standing in front.
“Who is Wei Yanhu?”
Wi Jeong-han snickered.
'What do these guys think of me?'
No matter how much I want to kill that bastard, do you think I would sell him off so easily when I don't even know why I'm looking for him?
And besides, they're the ones from the Golden Guard. There's no way they came here for good things, so even if they were put to the neck with a knife!
“It’s that guy.”
Wi Jeong-han confidently pointed to his son on the other side.
Wi Yeon-ho, who was looking at Wi Jeong-han as if he was in absurdity, opened his mouth wide.
“Wow…….”
“…….”
“Wow, my goodness, they’re selling their children.”
“You’re selling it off without receiving anything. You should cooperate with the work of those above you.”
“Wow.”
The royal guards looked back at Wi Yeon-ho and spoke in cold voices.
“Come out.”
“You don’t like it?”
“…….”
A look of absurdity began to appear on Geumuiwi's face.
“Can’t you understand what I’m saying? I told you to come out right now.”
“You really don’t understand what I’m saying. I told you I don’t like it.”
“…….”
The King looked at Wi Yeon-ho with eyes that said, 'What, there's a guy like this?' This was the Imperial Palace's Noe-ok, and he was the King.
No matter how powerful a person is, he or she will feel discouraged the moment he enters this place. And even high-ranking officials in office find it awkward to face the Golden Guard.
But what on earth does this kid believe to be so confident?
“Come out!”
“I told you I don’t want to!”
“Come out now before I drag you out.”
“Hey, you can’t drag me out.”
“Hey, this guy!”
As the guard was about to throw a tantrum, the warden approached him with quick steps and grabbed his sleeve.
“What is it!”
"excuse me……."
The warden raised his hand and pointed to the bars that were full of signs of repair.
“What is this?”
“I broke it with my bare hands, came out, and then went back in.”
“…….”
“I don’t think of you as a common prisoner…….”
Of course, it wasn't Wei Yanho but Wei Zhenghan who did it, but wasn't he the same guy?
Geum Ui-wi recalled the information about Wi Yeon-ho from his head.
'Come to think of it, didn't you say this guy was an incredible expert?'
This is something I didn't really care about. No matter how much of a murderer he is, once he's locked up in the Imperial Palace's brain prison, he's just a criminal.
I thought that if he had been able to escape capture, he wouldn't have been caught and brought here so easily.

However, the sight of the broken brain jade and the Wei Yanhu before his eyes began to turn his thoughts upside down.
'This is the first time I've seen this type of person… … .'
Although he had thought that he would dare to oppose him, looking at Wei Yanho’s face, it didn’t seem like a situation where he could feel at ease.
I swear he had never seen such a grumpy face in his entire life.
If you do well, you will have a face that can beat the Golden Guard and everything else.
Naturally, the voice of the golden guard died down slightly.
“Khuh-huh, huh-huh.”
After coughing a few times, the gold guard opened his mouth.
“No, I don’t mean any harm, so come out for a moment.”
“You don’t like it?”
“Didn’t I say that I’m not trying to do anything bad right now!”
“Hey, Dad told me never to go with someone who tries to lure you away with nice words.”
“Me, me?”
Wi Jeong-han felt very wronged.
That's something he should naturally say to his children, but he had never once said that to Wei Yanhu.
Well, that's only natural. There's no reason to say that to someone who never leaves the house.
“Are you saying I am some kind of human trafficker? I am the Royal Guard! Would the Royal Guard do something like that in the palace?”
“It’s not that you’re trafficking people, but you’re trying to lure them into taking you to the execution grounds, right?”
“Where is the executioner at this hour of the night? I have never heard of anyone beheading someone in the middle of the night!”
"uh?"
Wi Yeon-ho tilted his head.
“Now that I hear it, that’s true.”
“And how can the punishment for a heinous crime be carried out without a sound? If you are to be beheaded, it will be done in broad daylight in front of all the people, so you don’t have to worry about that.”
“……Those are truly comforting words.”
Wi Yeon-ho smiled faintly and opened his mouth.
“Then where are you taking me?”
“I can’t say that.”
"why?"
“There are many secrets in the palace.”
Wi Yeon-ho, who was looking at the golden guard with a sullen expression, turned his head and asked Wi Jeong-han.
“What should we do?”
“I think it would be better to cooperate for now. After all, wouldn’t it be better to make a good impression than to be labeled as uncooperative?”
“Hearing that, I don’t want to go again.”
“Why did you ask! Why!”
Wi Yeon-ho got up from his seat, sobbing.
“It’s so comfortable I don’t want to move…….”
“It won’t take long.”
“Yes. Well, I’ll trust you and give it a try. I don’t think people wearing flashy clothes would scam good people.”
As Wei Yanho approached the door, the warden opened the door in panic. He was afraid that if he didn't open the door in time, he would break it and come out.
If they were not careful, they would have to create a new charge of damaging royal property.
Wi Yeon-ho, who came out, waved his hand brightly to the people.
“Then I’ll go.”
“……Just behead him.”
“Why don’t you execute the sentence at night?”
Although harsh insults were being shouted from all sides, Wei Yanhu smiled brightly as if he had not heard anything and urged the royal guard to hurry.
“What are you doing if you don’t go?”
“Ahem, let’s go.”
Wi Jeong-han sighed as he watched Wi Yeon-ho go out in pursuit of the Golden Guard.
'What's going on?'
Even in this situation, Wi Jeong-han was afraid that Wi Yeon-ho would cause an accident.
“Wow, the palace has a charm even at night.”
“…….”
The King looked back at Wi Yeon-ho as if he found it absurd.
'What is this?'
As far as he knew, this guy had been staying in the palace for nearly ten days. So why was he acting like he was the first one to come in today?
“With so many lights on, it’s as bright as day. I thought it was strangely bright outside when I was sleeping. I think I need to turn off some of the lights to get a good night’s sleep.”
'Let's ignore it.'
Although it was a short period of time, the Royal Guard had already gained some understanding of Wi Yeon-ho.
It would have been more constructive to wash my feet and sleep than to talk to this guy.
The only problem is that I have a mission and can't be separated from him right now.
“Just come in here.”
"yes?"
“Didn’t you hear? I said to go this way.”
“Aren’t we going together?”
“I can’t go in here. If you go a little further, there will be people who will welcome you.”
Wi Yeon-ho shrugged and asked.
“But I’m a criminal, so I’m a little worried that you’re telling me to move alone. What if I escape from prison? Why are you sending me here alone?”
“If I had wanted to, I would have done it already. I know that I am not locked up for lack of ability.”
“Hmm…….”
As Wi Yeon-ho looked at him with a surprised expression, Geum Ui-wi raised his hand and pointed forward.
“Over there. Do you see the tower over there?”
“Yes. It’s huge.”
“Just go over there.”
Wi Yeon-ho nodded quietly.
There were a lot of things I was curious about, but I didn’t think anything would come out if I asked this guy. It wasn’t that he was trying to hide something, but judging by his expression, he didn’t seem to know much either.
Besides, moving Wei Yanhu was not something a mere Jin Yiwei could do. Wei Yanhu was now a high treasonous criminal.
“Okay. Then I’ll go. When will you come back?”
“You will be the one to direct that.”
“Yes. Well, then.”
As Wi Yeon-ho waved his hand once and walked away, Geum Ui-wi shook his head.
'They say that the thugs of the world of martial arts are extremely rude, and that is true.'
To him, who was accustomed to the strict etiquette of the palace, Wei Yanhu's behavior did not look good at all. So it would seem even more so to the people he would meet from now on.
“I promised there would be no punishment, but…….”
The man smiled bitterly.
He might not die right now, but going there now would confirm his death. I'm not lying, but it was a bit bittersweet.
The man sighed softly and turned away.
“Is it bright?”
It felt like walking on a flower path.
As if telling Wei Yanho to follow, bonfires were lit on both sides of the road. Wei Yanho followed the bonfires and was able to find the eunuchs guarding the pagoda.
“Come here.”
“Aren’t you going to ask who it is?”
“Come here.”
The eunuchs stopped Wi Yeon-ho's words with restrained movements and began walking ahead.
'These people feel a little different?'
All the eunuchs he had met so far had a very gloomy feel to them, perhaps because they were from the same school, but the eunuchs he was seeing now felt very sincere.
'It's quite different from boasting about being a king.'
It was a moment when the prejudice I had against the eunuchs was shattered. Among them, there were truly loyal subjects who would sacrifice everything for the imperial family and the emperor.
The eunuch started climbing the pagoda ahead of the others.
'Wow, this is really tall.'
It looked very tall from the outside, but when you actually climbed up, it felt endless. Well, it was a nine-story tower, so how high could it be?
After climbing the stairs for quite some time, a large door finally appeared. Although it was a nine-story tower, it seemed that there was no space except for the top floor.
As I approached the door, it opened before I could even open my mouth. The eunuch bowed deeply and entered, and Wi Yeon-ho followed him through the door.
"hmm?"
As we entered, a large space appeared. A middle-aged man was sitting on one side of the tea table in the center, and several eunuchs were standing around him.
“Go out and see.”
As soon as the middle-aged man sitting in the center finished speaking, the eunuchs bowed deeply in greeting and then walked backwards out the door, still in that posture.
Wei Yanho still had his eyes wide open, not knowing what was going on.
The middle-aged man looked at Wi Yeon-ho quietly and then slowly opened his mouth.
“Do you know who I am?”
“No, but I think I can guess.”
The man smiled broadly.
“Yeah, that’s exactly what I guessed.”
The man nodded vigorously and spoke in a voice that was by no means loud. But the words reached Wei Yanhu's ears very clearly.
“Goga is the Emperor of the Great Ming.”
