After a while, the general went out with his son.
Two men who appeared to have written on their foreheads the words ‘I am a eunuch’ followed the two men who had gone out into the office of the Jinmusa.
They were two older men, with an androgynous appearance that mixed masculine and feminine qualities.
The green robe and cap had no wings, and a shiny, beardless chin caught the eye.
Judging from their appearance, they were both definitely eunuchs.
‘What? Did the conversation not go well?’
When I was surprised to hear that the eunuchs had come to take me over, the general and his son clearly said that they would take care of me and send me back.
” “Don’t be afraid, So So-hyeop. It seems that your classmates have come to protest and ask you to be released because the Geumuiwi took you away first. Just send them back.
“The Dongchang and Geumuiwi are of similar status, so they cannot give us orders.”
“Yeah, you bastard, don’t be surprised. My son and I will take care of it, so you can finish your tea here. Classmates and all.”
Since they brought me here first, there’s nothing my classmates can do.
But I couldn’t help but look flustered at the actions of the two people who suddenly brought in a eunuch and the appearance of the eunuch as he entered.
“Please sit over here.”
One of the eunuchs who had confirmed my position at the words of the general who was offering me a seat asked in a voice that was somewhere between male and female.
“Huh? What is this kid?”
“Ah, this is the small group that captured the leader of the Blood Cult.”
General Meng introduced me as the one who brought back the leader of the Blood Cult, but the eunuch who asked the question asked in a slightly sharp voice.
“Are you saying that you didn’t put the criminal in prison but left him here?”
“Your Majesty, there seems to be a misunderstanding. The only criminal is that woman who is the leader of the Blood Cult, and this is just a small group of thieves who have captured the Blood Cult. To be exact, they are the ones who will receive a reward for capturing one of the leaders of the evil group that attacked the princess, not criminals.”
‘You speak well, sir!’
As General Maeng said, if I received an award, I would receive it. It was absurd to be treated like a criminal, so I thought about it. Then the eunuch’s question continued.
“But since the incident has not been clearly revealed yet, shouldn’t we treat him as a criminal?”
‘What!? No, isn’t there something like the presumption of innocence?’
It was a world based on ancient China.
If the sin is not clearly revealed, then he is a sinner.
When I made a bewildered expression, the general smiled and said.
“Are you telling me to take the only son-in-law of the Sacheondang family to the brain prison and torture him? Then, I won’t be able to drink even a sip of water properly starting tomorrow. If you really want, you can have the eunuch father-in-law take him and torture him.”
“S, son-in-law of the Sacheondang family!?”
The eunuch was shocked to hear that he was the son-in-law of the Sacheondang family.
I couldn’t help but be surprised at the same time.
Take me and torture me, that is.
‘No, just kidding…’
The general continued speaking with a smile on his face.
“But if you take away the innocent son-in-law of the Sacheondang family and torture him, then from tomorrow onwards, you will have to be careful not only about what you eat but also about how you breathe. Don’t you know? If they want to, they can kill a person without anyone noticing, and it’s no problem.”
At the words of the great general, the eunuch Jang In got angry and threw the eunuch’s joint that was standing next to him.
-Ouch!
“Ugh!”
“How come this wasn’t reported!?”
“Sorry, sorry. That was information we didn’t even know about.”
“The Golden Guard knows, but why don’t we?”
My classmate probably had no idea that I was the son-in-law of the Sacheondang family.
With an expression on his face that looked like he would catch someone if left alone, General Maeng hurriedly introduced the eunuch to me.
“Okay, let’s calm down and say hello first.
“So So-hyeop, this is the leader of the eunuchs and the head of the class, Jang In-eun-gam (掌印太監), the Inspector General of the Clans, Wi Chung-heon, and next to him is the Inspector General of the Clans, Yu Heon. Jang In-eun-gam, this is So-ryong, the son-in-law of the Sacheon-dang family and the son of the princess of the Southern Man Beasts.”
“Oh, hello. Nice to meet you. I am Xiaolong, the son-in-law of the Tang family and the son of the Beast Palace.”
“Huh. Even the son of the Beast Princess? Nice to meet you. I am Wi Chung-heon.”
Wi Chung-heon, the leader of my class, looked at me with a gentle smile and kind eyes, not the sharp voice he had before.
As soon as he finished greeting me, he looked at the person next to him, In-su Gam Yoo-heon, with a venomous expression and ground his teeth.
-Thud.
“Of course you didn’t know this either. After this incident, gather all of your classmates. You don’t know anything about the Royal Guard and have me flustered like this. I won’t let you go alone….”
It seemed that they could not tolerate the fact that they were rival organizations within the same secret police force and did not know what the other side knew.
It’s because I know General Maeng.
Let’s look at General Maeng, who is smiling like a mischievous child.
His son was also smiling brightly.
Anyway, it seemed like he felt good seeing the head of a rival group getting angry in front of him.
“Okay, you two can talk about that later. Let’s discuss the purpose of our gathering here. Since we’ve all gathered here for the same purpose, I think we should put our heads together.”
“Same purpose?”
A question that popped out of my head without me realizing it, when I heard that we had the same purpose.
In response to my question, General Meng spoke as if asking for the consent of Eunuch Wi Chung-heon, the leader of the eunuchs.
“It is a secret matter of the palace, but the woman of the Blood Cult that Sohyeop captured seems to play an important role, so I think it would be good to discuss it here. What do you think?
In any case, the purpose of the Sohyeop is to eliminate the Blood Cult and the Odokmun group, so ultimately, their goals are the same as ours, and the Sohyeop may know information that we don’t.”
The two eunuchs looked at each other at General Maeng’s question and immediately nodded.
“It would be good if you promised never to reveal anything that happened inside the palace to the outside world.”
“Please do so.”
“Very well, both of you eunuchs. Then let’s start by organizing the story.”
“That would be good. We need to first figure out why our goals are the same and then move on so we can help each other.”

Since they are both heads of secret police, the conversation proceeds very systematically.
First, the son of the great general and the head of the Royal Guard began to explain on behalf of the group.
“We have confirmed the information that the man named Heo Tae-gam is a spy of the Odokmun, an ally of the Blood Cult that attacked Princess Guando, through the person called Daeju of the Blood Sound Group that Sohyeop captured here.
“I’m sure you two know that the Blood Sound Corps is the information unit of the Blood Cult that caused chaos in the world twenty years ago, right?”
“We know that too.”
“In addition, the So So-hyeop here told the Ak Gyo-wi that the Odokmun has now absorbed the Blood Cult and is no different from the Blood Cult itself. We at the Jinuiwi were thinking that it was right to eliminate him at all costs as he could be a threat to the Emperor.”
The two eunuchs nodded their heads at the words of the general’s son.
And when the son of the great general finished speaking, it was not the magistrate Wi Chung-heon but the magistrate Yoo Heon who spoke.
That’s the guy who broke the joint.
“In our class, it doesn’t matter much if Taegam Heo and the beautiful woman he brought home aren’t Odukmun. However, we agree on the part where they absolutely must be killed.”
“yes?”
Eunuch Do says without hesitation that he doesn’t care about misreading and that he will just brush it off.
He explained why he had to kill the man named Heo Tae-gam.
“The eunuchs’ rank is of the utmost importance. They dared to insult me during the Emperor’s procession, and then served the Emperor in their own chambers. There is also the rank of the inner court, and they continue to bring the women they have brought into the Emperor’s bedroom. This has caused considerable discontent among the other concubines and concubines.
So, even if that guy and Baek Mi-in are not the same, they must definitely be O-Dok-Moon. This is not only the will of our classmates, but also the request of the ladies.”
I felt this way even when I was a princess, but the secrets of the palace were secrets that would definitely get you killed if they were revealed.
I thought it was no big deal because you told me to keep it a secret, but who would go around saying that?
‘I told you the real palace is a scary place?’
As I shuddered at Eunuch Yu’s words, the son of the great general spoke with a calm expression.
“I understand what you mean. But it’s better to confirm what is true than to make up facts that aren’t true.
“So So-hyeop, is it certain that that woman is the leader of the Blood Sound Alliance?”
“That is the fact that I obtained by arresting and interrogating him.”
“Are you sure you don’t have any concerns that I lied?”
“Of course. Among the poisons we have, there is one that can make you confess, and after interrogation, we confirmed it twice. Also, the woman has learned the martial arts of the Blood Cult, so her blood pressure is high and she will never be able to escape the fact that she is a Blood Cultist.”
“Then it’s certain. If the confession was obtained through the poison of the Tang family, then it can be believed.”
The eunuch and his son, Lady Maeng, look at each other with trust in the fact that the original poison was Cheongyu’s poison, but he confessed to it using Dangga’s poison.
But there was something I was concerned about, so I told them.
“However, I don’t know whether I am a misunderstood person or not regarding that beautiful woman.”
I know that Taegam Heo is a man of the Odokmun, but I don’t know anything about Miin Baek.
It seemed certain that Ae-man would be captured, but when I mentioned her just in case, the eunuchs looked at me as if telling me not to worry.
“It seems that you are worried that the Sohyeop might kill an innocent person, but don’t worry about it, because he has already committed a serious crime by breaking the rules of the internal register.
When the Empress was favored, she showed kindness by taking care of other concubines, but she paid the price of being favored by ignoring other concubines.
And if it is certain that Taegam Heo is a person of Odokmun, then her life will already be difficult.”
Even if he says that he is a person of the highest rank, and that he has nothing to do with the Odokmun, who would believe him?
I feel like it’s hard to say any more.
At that moment, General Maeng’s son nodded and asked the eunuchs.
“Since there are also requests from the mothers, then should I work at the same school?”
“If you do that, your classmates will not forget this concession.”
As I was tilting my head wondering what the King and his classmate were talking about, I heard General Maeng’s voice.
[If the mothers ask, it means that we will make concessions since our classmates have to step up and take care of the matter. Then, we can also pay off one of our debts, so it’s not a bad deal.]
What’s so complicated about the palace situation?
Negotiations between the two groups were concluded when I thought simplicity was the best.
“Then I will give you the woman, so you can proceed. And as for So So-hyeop, the story is getting complicated, so let’s leave him out of this.”
“That would be good. It would be troublesome if the Emperor were to ask for the questioning of the son-in-law of the Sacheondang family for no reason.”
“Does it matter what happens to the life of the Great Leader of the So So Hyeop Blood Cult?”
“I promised to kill you cleanly, so I think that’s all you need to do.”
“Okay.”
After a quick discussion, the leader of the Blood Cult, Nan-hwa, was dragged out of the brain prison and taken to another place by his fellow students.
***
I decided to stay in my office until the work was finished, but the next day at lunchtime, the head of my class, Wi Chung-heon, General Maeng, and his son entered my office, looking lost in thought.
A situation where I couldn’t help but be startled while lying down on a long chair and sleeping.
“Cow, little dragon!”
“Cow, cow, cow!”
“Ugh!”
As I looked at the three with startled expressions, the three shouted in urgent voices.
“So So-hyeop. This is serious. The leader of the Blood Cult suddenly died!”
“yes!?”
“Before the national exam even started, he suddenly grabbed his stomach and groaned, and then his stomach burst and he died! What happened?”
“W-Wow!?”
“Do you know anything?”
When I heard that he died from a burst stomach, I remembered the story of the yin-yang pair that I had heard from Nan-hwa and Cheong-yu.
It is said that a pair of goblin swords not only raises the level of martial arts, but also prevents betrayal, and it seemed to have exploded that.
A pair of yin-yang twins would die if one died, and it seemed that the woman had been caught in the Odokmun.
The reason why they couldn’t get rid of Go was because they thought they would notice that Daeju was captured first and prepare for an attack from another place.
It seemed like things were getting very complicated.
“They say that the Odogmun bastards planted a curse on the Blood Cult bastards they absorbed, and it seems that they detonated it after they found out that the Great Master had been captured.”
“What should I do with this evidence that has disappeared?”
“If I make a mistake, I might expose my pride and even have my head cut off!”
The explanation for the sense of danger could be that Dojigam Yoo Heon made the accusation out of jealousy.
Everyone put their heads together because they thought we had to think of another way, but even after thinking about it for over two hours, no solution came to mind.
As they looked at each other and asked with their expressions whether or not they had any good thoughts, General Meng’s son spoke with a sigh.
“If the princess were here, I would ask her to warn the emperor that Eunuch Heo is dangerous… Now, there is no other way but for Heaven to intervene….”
I thought about asking the princess for help, but on the way to call the princess, the eunuch Yu-heon might have his neck cut off.
‘Isn’t there any way? Wait, heaven?’
At that time, when General Maeng’s son said, “Heaven,” an old story came to mind.
“Elders, I have an idea. What do you think we should do?”
“Do you have any good ideas?”
“therefore······.”
The three of them look incredulous as I quietly explain my thoughts.
“You can do that?”
When I showed them a little taste, the three of them looked surprised and said.
“This, this is definitely going to work!”
“Then of course there is no need for a certificate!”
“Who would doubt this!?”
All three were impressed by my opinion.
This is a method that is very popular with kings.
Soon my thoughts began to take shape and a plan began to form.
