Episode 172
“Hey… where are we going?” Namgung So-hye followed Dan Woo-hyeon at a slow pace. I was dragged in without even being told where I was going or what was happening.
You said you were asking to do so work, but did you want to accompany you?
“Why don’t you tell ?”
Namgung Sohye, who was very angry, shot back with a dissatisfied expression. Shouldn’t you at least tell where you’re going?
‘Is it possible that it’s a lie that it’s work and you just want to have fun?’
As Namgung So-hye thought that, her face turned red.
I glanced at Woohyun, covering my cheek with both hands.
He is walking in silence and still doesn’t say anything.
‘If I want to be with you, I won’t say anything. A smile forms on my face and I sneak closer to Dan Woo-hyeon’s side. We were so close that our shoulders naturally bumped into each other as we walked.
At that mont, Dan Woo-hyeon slowly moved to the side.
The distance between the two widened again.
“Don’t stick around.” ‘what? Wasn’t it like that?’ Her face was red as if she was embarrassed, and she moved forward quickly, grinning as if she were in trouble. She stopped in front of Dan Woo-hyeon and fired wildly.
“What on earth is this? “Where are you going?”
“Sale.”
“Right… really?”
“okay.”
There will be business wherever you go.
Because the place where the two people were walking was the business.
Namgung So-hye looked at Dan Woo-hyeon with a puzzled expression. Even though I knew I didn’t ask that question, seeing her like this made sigh.
“Do you know where the most thieves gather?”
“Well… it’s sowhere like a back alley, right?”
“No, it’s a gambling house.”
thief? casino?
Namgung Sohye couldn’t understand why those words were being said. Since there was no chance of thieves in my house in the first place, I never paid any attention to it.
Isn’t it the sa with Dan Woo-hyeon’s house?
The mont a thief steps in, you will beco a corpse.
“So what does this have to do with the thief and us walking now?”
“Didn’t you hear it earlier?”
“I didn’t hear you! “While you were talking to Kwon So-hyeop, So-mi woke up!”
“Then it’s not your fault?”
“ Q……W
Namgung So-hye frowned at a word that hit the nail on the head.
I wanted to shoot back and ask what would be of value if I treated him a little more kindly. ‘No
, it’s funny to expect
sothing from this person .’
She sighed and slumped her shoulders.
“There was a thief at the Golden Ring Shop. “They say he ran away with all the liquor and silk that was piled up in the warehouse.”
“Eh?! A lot of that?”
“Yes, that’s why I ca to look for it.”
“A thief?”
Dan Woohyun nodded.
Akyang was left to Kwon Moo-jin. To prepare for the unexpected, I left Sadohak and Namgungcheon by Dansomi’s side.
Now all that remains is to find traces of the thief in the business.
The first place to look was the gambling house, as I ntioned earlier.
“Wouldn’t it be faster to go to a place like Haomun?”
“No, I wouldn’t have let the information leak out.”
“How do you make a conclusion? “Aren’t you just a thief?”
“Do you really think a simple thief could take that many items in one night without anyone noticing?”
“O…”
Dan Woo-hyeon stopped in his tracks and looked at Namgung So-hye with an interested expression. Eventually, he patted his head and smiled mischievously for the first ti in a long ti.
“You don’t have a good head.”
“no! “I knew that much!”
“Anyone can cry.”
“Uh… I’m not insisting! I an it! “I knew it!”
“That’s right.”
“…ha.”
Namgung So-hye once again realized that she could not defeat Dan Woo-hyeon with words.
“Now that you think about it, if you’re not just a thief, why do you go to the gambling house?”
He asked with a bright smile.
If you think that it was not just a thief who planned this incident, why on earth are you going to the gambling house?
The gambling hall was a place where not so serious criminals were concentrated.
Therefore, Dan Woo-hyeon also thought wrong.
“Well… why?”
Danwoo-hyeon smiled as if it was funny and laughed.
Instead of answering, I asked back.
The mont she t his gaze, Namgung So-hye felt that she should not get involved any further. It seed like the answer would definitely be completely different from what he expected.
“I see… it’s strange.”
“Let’s go in first.”
There was a fairly famous gambling house in Jangsa.
It was not a place that secretly did business in the back alleys, but a place established legally. The stakes were not high, but it was a place where people could co to have fun without any pressure.
The casino’s gambling hall had a grand appearance.
There were so many people that it was impossible to even count the number of people going inside.
As you entered the large gambling hall, the crowds were so crowded that you couldn’t even move your feet.
Namgung So-hye was impressed as she heard the musty sll of n and cheers coming from all around.
One side cried and the other side expressed joy.
Gambling is like this everywhere, but seeing the expressions of people with mixed feelings of joy and sorrow in one space gave quite a strange feeling.
As Namgung Sohye was looking around, sothing caught the eye.
Isn’t the man leading the gambling changing the dice with his quick hands?
“But Confucius… that person… “Leave him alone. Since they are here to make a lot of money, they have to be prepared to lose that much. “Even if it’s a scam or not.”
“Still, sothing like that…”
Namgung Sohye gave a disapproving look.
But I didn’t bother to co forward.
Those who lost money let out a sigh of regret, but did not stand up and were busy betting again. Even if they revealed that it was a trick here, they were people who would go sowhere else and gamble again.
There was no need to save them.
Then why on earth did Dan Woo-hyeon co to a place like this?
At that ti, there was soone approaching.
Her body looked small and her face was quite ordinary, but the mont she approached, Namgung Sohye grabbed the sword without realizing it.
When I saw him walking, I knew he was not normal.
But the man stood in front of Dan Woo-hyeon and grabbed his gun.
“I was waiting. Please eat inside.”
“okay.”
Did you make an appointnt in advance?
At the man’s very natural words, Woohyun also nodded and followed him.
The man who led to the innermost room of the gambling hall suggested a seat at a large table.
Three people sat there.
Not long after, a woman ca in and served tea and light refreshnts.
Slurp –
Dan Woohyun naturally opened his mouth, taking a sip of the tea.
“Did you find it?”
“I did my best from the mont I received the letter, but it was not easy. The traces of the original body were quickly erased…”
Gumuak, the lord of Haomun, swallowed a groan.
I was confident that my information was second to none compared to anywhere else in the midfield, but this task was not easy.
It was very rare for there to be no traces like this.
“You can’t even find Hao Wen? “This is fun.”
“Haha, we are grateful that you think highly of us, but… there are so things that cannot be done. Also, isn’t ti too tight?”
At most, the investigation began a few days before the start of the day.
There wasn’t enough ti to find out anything.
If given a few days to spare, Gumuak was confident that he would guess not only the face and na of the bastard who stole it, but also the place where he lived and the color of his underwear.
But I also gained sothing.
“I also investigated the Honam upper part just in case.”
“What ca out?”
“doesn’t exist. However, it looks like there is a big deal tomorrow. I saw him whispering and tricking into joining…”
“Is there sothing?”
“Yes, several famous ronin in Honam have disappeared… I suspect that this incident may have been their doing. “They are the ones who mainly take care of the dirty work.”
“Right.”
Slurp –
Dan Woo-hyeon opened his eyes softly as he passed the tea.
It was clear that this incident was done by Mak Chung-heon of Honam Sangdan. Because the ti and situation fit perfectly.
To move the stolen goods, you would have to pack at least a large truck.
“Anything else?”
“There is no evidence of this kind yet. If you give more ti….”
“No, it’s done. “Find out where those Honam rchants are going and when they are leaving, and send them a letter.”
Dan Woo-hyeon searched his chest and threw the bag on the table.
Gu Muak smiled brightly as he looked at the heavy object.
Since Dan Woo-hyeon is no stranger and an absolute expert, there is probably a considerable amount of money involved.
Gu Muak bowed his head politely, his eyes shining.
“Thank you for your transaction.”
“okay.”
Dan Woo-hyeon stood up from his seat.
Namgung So-hye, who was quietly watching the whole situation from the side, looked alternately at Gu Mu-ak and Dan Woo-hyeon and frowned.
How much did you spend just to hear these few words of information?
Moreover, if you think about the ti it took to get here from Agyang, there was no deficit like this.
“But Confucius, who on earth is that person and have co all the way here to et him in person? Moreover, isn’t that money too much compared to the information?”
“do not worry. Rather, let’s go now.”
“Ek?”
Dan Woo-hyeon suddenly took Namgung So-hye’s hand and moved.
His steps were much faster than usual.
I’ve heard that the Honam Trading Company is doing sothing, so I think that’s why.
But when I looked at his expression, sothing was strange.
Namgung So-hye tilted her head and left the gambling hall, led by Dan Woo-hyeon’s hand.
Imdiately after Dan Woo-hyeon left, Gu Muak smiled. This is how I built a relationship with him and made him indebted to .
Such a sudden request required Haomun to devote a considerable amount of manpower.
It was said that it was never sothing that could be solved with money alone.
“Still, I’m glad you’re a sane person. “I was wondering if they didn’t even give the information fee because of their power…”
The smile on my face did not go away. In any case, I obtained a considerable amount of silver.
Moreover, Gumuak was satisfied just by having Dan Woohyeon co from Agyang to Jangsa.
This is because it is clear that it is only an object of transaction and not a hierarchical relationship.
“Let’s see…”
Gu Muak stretched out his hand to the bag. When I lifted it, I felt a fairly heavy sensation in my hand.
Finally, the mont I unzipped the front pocket and looked inside.
Gu Muak was at a loss for words and had lost sight of the battle.
Chrrrrr-!
Money flowed out of the pocket that fell on the floor.
The thing that spreads in all directions is neither a hermit nor a golden one.
It was iron warfare.
There were so many iron coins in it that it was mind-boggling, and even if you counted them all, it wouldn’t even be worth a penny or two. There was even a fist-sized stone inside.
“What a ss!”
Gumuak’s double curse rang loudly.
