Episode 48
“Gu, palace… … !”
The man, Gongja Ji, was horrified and called Doyul.
“Shh.”
Doyul raised his index finger to his lips.
Prince Ji kept his mouth shut as if there were glue on his lips.
Before I knew it, Confucius Ji’s face had turned pale.
‘oh.’
Yerin looked at the situation with curious eyes.
‘That guy, was he the Confucius of Jijiajang?’
Speaking of Confucius from Ji Family, he seems to be Ji Family Eun’s male blood relative.
Judging by its appearance, it appears that it is her brother.
‘It seems like he often gets involved with the nephews of Jaejaewonju these days.’
While Yerin was leisurely thinking about such things, Doyul was fiercely pushing Ji Gongja.
“Looking at it, it looks like all of those thugs are Ji-gongja’s minions. Am I right?”
“Well, that is…” … .”
Confucius Ji did not know what to do.
Honestly, from his perspective, it was worth it.
It was fun to drink in the streets, take care of my subordinates, and give strength to my shoulders.
Who would have thought that Binggungju would suddenly appear in disguise?
Doyul continued speaking leisurely.
“But I heard an interesting story.”
“Ah, what an interesting story, what… … ?”
“They say there are thugs in Beihai City who collect rent.”
Doyul gestured with his chin at his subordinates who had puzzled faces.
“I guess those guys are like thugs.”
“Hi!”
Confucius Ji hiccuped.
“Who gets to pay the rent as they please?”
“No, that’s… … !”
“I understand that the North Sea Ice Palace has prohibited collecting rent from Beihai Province merchants.”
At those calm words, Gongja Ji was as scared as a rat in front of a wild beast.
“Also, there was no record of money being received from the National Finance Agency to merchants in the name of place tax.”
Yerin was inwardly impressed.
‘Wow, you’re going well?’
Isn’t the skill of completely captivating the other person with a calm tone of voice excellent?
Doyul looked back at Ji Gongja with exaggerated movements.
“Then what happened to this?”
“that is… … .”
“Jijijang is a prestigious branch that produced the finance chief who handles the finances of the Bingung Palace.”
Confucius Ji just rolled his eyes, not knowing what to do.
Towards Confucius, Doyul smiled beautifully.
“Even though he couldn’t set an example for a family like that, he was taking care of the rent behind the scenes.”
But unlike that smile, Doyul’s eyes were as sharp as blades.
“… … Is it okay to understand it this way?”
“No, we are!”
Doyul fired again.
“Since when did the Ji family become the family that rules Behai Province?”
“That’s not it… … !”
“So, has a new law been enacted that allows landowners to collect rent? huh? okay?”
“How could that be! We just… … .”
Prince Ji could not even properly protest and only pursed his lips.
Doyul leisurely asked a question.
“Now then, how should we handle this matter? Should I send a formal complaint letter to the head of the household?”
“No, please just do that!”
Confucius Ji stopped thinking.
That’s because the rent was something that Confucius Ji did on his own, deceiving his father.
It was too large to earn pocket money, but in fact, it was not enough to cover the extravagance of the owner.
At that time, Doyul pointed to his subordinates with a glance.
“For now, hand over those chips to us.”
“You’re passing it on… … ?”
“The punishment for the sin you dared to extort from my wife.”
Doyul concluded his speech with an expressionless face.
“Because I want to take it with my own hands.”
ma’am.
Confucius Ji was shocked at that title.
‘No way, then… … !’
They say that the small girl standing behind Doyul is the matriarch of the North Sea Ice Palace.
Even though she is an illegitimate daughter, she is a girl who has a powerful family called Sacheondangmun as her family.
‘Besides, that matriarch.’
Confucius Ji swallowed dry saliva.
Didn’t they discover a cultivation area for Seolucho and recently successfully auction it off?
Considering these factors, despite his youthful and harmless appearance, he must be quite a resourceful person.
“What are you doing?”
Doyul once again recruited Ji Gongja.
Prince Ji gave orders to his subordinates with a pale face.
“What can I do if I don’t apologize right away?!”
There was silence.
“…….”
“…….”
After a while.
The subordinates, who were looking at each other with dissatisfied eyes, opened their mouths.
“Who on earth is that little boy, and why is he so unusual?”
No one apologized to Doyul and Yerin.
Was that not all? He even pointed a finger at Doyul.
“That’s right, isn’t Prince Ji the head of the small family of the Ji family!”
“You can just get rid of that kid with Jijangjang’s power!”
“Whenever a problem arises, he shouted loudly, telling us to trust only Confucius… … !”
The subordinates did not hide their dissatisfied expressions.
But then.
Bah!!
With a light hitting sound, the subordinate who was pointing his finger at Doyul flew away.
Yerin jumped out of her seat and hit the man squarely in the knee.
“Ugh!!!”
A sharp scream erupted.
The man began to roll on the floor, covering his knees with his hands, with a face filled with pain.
Judging by the way my leg was swollen, it seemed like there was a crack in the bone.
“What is this?”
“What did I just see?”
The people who were watching the situation with anxious feelings opened their mouths.
“now… … “That big guy was blown away in one hit, right?”
“That little girl did it?”
widely.
Yerin lightly stepped on the ground.
Then he placed both hands on his hips and glared at his subordinates.
“Oh, really. “Your breath is so bad that I can’t listen to you until the end.”
“What is that rat-sized girl talking about now?!”
Each of the subordinates spit out harsh words.
But Yerin didn’t even blink.
“Then we can check from now on.”
Rather, he shrugs his shoulders as if showing off.
“I wonder if that proud head of the household will protect you.”
“Well, that girl is really… … !”
“I want to die!?”
The subordinates opened their eyes and surrounded Yerin.
“Hmm, do you want to die…?” … la.”
Yerin, who was pondering those words, playfully opened her mouth.
“Would you rather kill me first, or else?”
Yerin just tilted her head.
“Should I kill you first?”
The voice, which seemed light at first glance, had a faint hint of death in it.
That’s because Yerin had no intention of sending them back like this.
‘Did you dare call our Doyul a kid?’
Yerin clenched her fists with strength.
‘I’m the only one who can call Doyul a kid!’
But then.
Doyul called Yerin.
“ma’am.”
At that call, Yerin turned to Doyul to make a loud noise.
“Don’t stop me. These guys need to change their habits… … .”
“Who told you to stop me?”
Yerin’s eyes widened in surprise at that strange answer.
Doyul grinned.
“Guys like that need at least one broken limb to come to their senses.”
Yerin couldn’t hide her bewildered expression.
‘Wow, I thought you would stop me. ‘What’s going on?’
Doyul bent down and picked up a piece of firewood that was rolling on the floor.
He then puts the firewood into Yerin’s hands.
“But, there’s no need to touch the dirty things yourself, right?”
“therefore… … “You want me to use this instead of my hands?”
“yes.”
Doyul nodded casually.
… … Hmm, when did Doyul become so extreme?
Could it be that I’ve been exposed to bad people?
Yerin somehow felt a little distraught.
But being upset and having to do something are two different things.
“thank you.”
Yerin picked up the firewood and slapped it on her palm.
He soon nods his head in satisfaction.
“It feels good and sticks well to my hand.”
“Can I help?”
“No, at best they are such shabby bastards.”
Yerin gently pushed up the corner of her lips.
It was a fierce smile.
“On the contrary, it hurts my pride to receive help.”
“What is this… … ?”
“wait for a sec… … !”
The men who made eye contact with Yerin hesitated and stepped back.
It was almost an instinctive movement.
After a while.
“Aaaah!!”
“With words, with words…” … please!”
The men’s desperate screams rang loudly.
* * *
“Whoa.”
Yerin sighed in satisfaction.
Then he looks at his feet with a fresh face.
“After all, moderate exercise can make a person feel refreshed?”
Her eyes fell on the five or six men lying on the floor.
The men were literally on the verge of fainting.
“Uh, uhm… … .”
“Uh… … .”
It looked like an insect, wriggling intermittently.
People looked at the scene blankly.
“Huh.”
“… … Unbelievable.”
“Did I see something wrong?”
Among them, there were some who couldn’t believe that sight and were rubbing their eyes.
DOYUL I LOVE YOU SO MUCH
