Episode 54

That time.
The head of the household was completely upset.
This was due to the huge fine imposed by the North Sea Ice Palace.
“Ji Sook-myeong, how did this girl handle her work to create this sadal!!”
Ji Gaju covered her forehead and lay down sick.
“I can’t believe I have to pay a fine of 3,000 nyang in money at this Jijang!!”
In fact, it was a matter of pride rather than money.
Of course, it was true that the fine was quite heavy.
However, considering the wealth he had accumulated so far in the land market, it was not an amount that could not be paid at all.
Rather, the symbolism of ‘paying the fine’ at the land price was greater.
Even though it was a minor crime, it was the same as announcing to the whole world that the head of the household had committed an illegal act.
“How, how can our local chief pay the fine…” … !”
After suffering like that, the head of the family turned on the light in her eyes and glared at her son.
“you… … you! “You damn bastard!!”
“I’m sorry, father!”
Confucius Ji could not bear to raise his face.
But as I looked at him not knowing what to do, I felt like a thousand dollars were burning in my heart.
“Is it okay to say sorry?”
“Father, that is…” … .”
“How are we going to fix this!”
The family head, unable to control her anger, suddenly threw the pillow.
puck!
The pillow hit Gongja Ji’s face exactly.
“100 million!”
Confucius Ji flopped backwards.
However, Ji Ga-ju was unable to calm the division at all.
“It only flutters with its mouth open!”
“Ah, father… … !”
“It’s a shame that someone like you is my son!”
The head of the household suddenly threw the inkstone on the table.
Craddangtang!
The inkstone flew past Confucius Ji’s ear, hit the floor, and cracked.
“Uh, uh… … .”
Confucius Ji’s face turned pale.
The head of the household hurled a point at his son.
“You can’t turn it off right now!!”
Confucius was so frightened that he hurriedly ran outside.
Ji Gaju groaned and lay down again.
“What’s missing is Jijajang’s small head… … !”
A desperate lament rang out.
* * *
Meanwhile, at that time, the head of the Ji family was destroying the family.
Yerin and Doyul were heading to the Geumhwa Shopping Mall under the cover of night.
“Can we really do this?”
Doyul asked Yerin a question in a suspicious voice.
“What are you going to do if you sneak into the gold coin business and get caught later?”
“So you don’t have to get caught, right?”
Yerin answered with an iron plate on her face.
“Well, that’s true.”
But even with that shameless answer, Doyul was easily convinced.
‘… … Hmm, somehow I feel like a villain who corrupted an innocent child.’
Seeing such behavior, Yerin actually felt a bit of remorse.
Yerin hastily added an excuse.
“Well, that doesn’t mean I asked to infiltrate without thinking. Since this problem is a battle of speed… … .”
“no.”
Doyul looked at Yerin with an innocent look.
“Because I know better than you that you are an upright person.”
yes?
Yerin blinked her eyes blankly.
However, there was not a single trace of suspicion towards Yerin on Doyul’s face.
“You had no choice but to make this choice in order to take care of the people’s livelihood, right?”
“Oh, um, so… … .”
“So, I will never interfere with your wife’s steps in the future.”
Wow, this is burdensome!
Yerin shuddered inwardly.
Meanwhile.
Doyul opened his mouth again in an embarrassed voice.
“But this outfit… … “I feel a little embarrassed.”
Currently, Doyul was wearing a black mask under his eyes and dressed in black clothes.
Yerin squinted one eye playfully.
“how is it? “It means dressing up as a person in black.”
“I never thought I would wear black clothes in my lifetime.”
Doyul shyly touched his sleeve.
Well, from Doyul’s point of view, it was worth it.
There was no way Doyul, who had grown up as the precious head of the North Sea Ice Palace, would ever dress like that.
That’s right, black clothes are usually… … .
‘It’s like a special outfit for people who are doing something crazy.’
Killers, thieves, thugs, criminals, etc.
Isn’t this what people who commit secret and illegal activities that should not be seen by others wear to hide themselves and move around at night?
Yerin playfully asked a question.
“Anyway, you’re from a noble family, right?”
Doyul responded to that question without giving up.
“Isn’t your wife also a noble lady?”
“Well, um… … So… … “Is it true?”
… … Is that how it works?
Yerin, caught off guard, blinked her eyes.
The time when Yerin was Baek Seol-ryeon.
While building the North Sea Ice Palace, we had to do all kinds of difficult work, many of which required us to move secretly under the cover of night.
‘At that time, I couldn’t wear black clothes like this, but I tried wearing them a hundred times.’
I never thought I would be treated like the lady of the party door now.
She suddenly realizes that the time she lived as Baek Seol-ryeon was a very long time ago.
… … Even though her mind still lingers on those days.
“ma’am?”
Doyul must have felt that Yerin’s mood had calmed down, so he cautiously called her out.
‘Oops.’
I didn’t mean to make Doyul feel bad.
Yerin opened her mouth in a playful voice.
“Then let’s say that today we become people in black who establish justice. how is it?”
Doyul burst into laughter at those sly words.
“That’s nice.”
* * *
The two easily approached the top of the gold coin.
The structure at the top was roughly like this.
A pavilion where guests are welcomed and where business is conducted, and a warehouse where goods are stored.
The destination for two of them was a warehouse.
“The people guarding the warehouse… … “I think there are four people in total.”
Yerin, who was hiding in the bushes near the warehouse, stuck her head out to inspect the situation.
The men patrolling the warehouse were all quite large.
Although he wasn’t at the level of martial arts skills, he seemed to be able to walk around the neighborhood with some strength on his shoulders.
“Oh, it’s so cold I’m dying.”
“Cheap white liquor is fine, so I think it would be perfect to have a glass of alcohol.”
Yerin clicked her tongue briefly while listening to the men’s grumbling voices.
“I don’t know how many good things they have accumulated, so they are keeping such strict guard.”
“That’s right.”
Doyul also agreed with that statement.
Just then, a man grabbed his waist and trudged out.
“Hey, where are you going?”
“I’m just trying to take a look at Sophie. why!”
At the man’s curt answer, the other man’s face scrunched up.
“Oh, really… … “Go quickly and come back.”
“OK.”
The man disappeared behind the warehouse.
At the same time, Yerin and Doyul exchanged glances.
“then… … “Let’s go.”
“yes.”
The two people flew out into the darkness without a sound.
Yerin was the one who approached the man first.
“Huh-a million?!”
The man who had been yawning long as he walked to the back room suddenly let out a sigh of relief.
This was because someone suddenly kicked him violently in the stomach.
dump!
The man, who lost his balance, fell down on the spot.
“Who, who… … !”
“me?”
Yerin narrowed her eyes as if she had heard something stupid.
“If you were going to tell me that, you wouldn’t have bothered to cover your face. is not it?”
At the same time, a small hand touched the man’s acupoint.
Sigh!
It was a mixed blood, an acupuncture point that made people faint.
The man’s eyes became blurry.
“Uh… … .”
After that, he collapsed on the spot.
Perhaps sensing something suspicious, a colleague standing in front of the warehouse raised his voice and opened his mouth.
“Ilsan, what are you doing… … “Wow!”
Slurp!
Instead, it just makes a sound like a straw bale falling to the floor.
Yerin curled the corners of her lips.
‘Well, Doyul is doing well in his own way.’
* * *
After half an hour (approximately 7-8 minutes) has passed.
After organizing everything around them, the two entered the warehouse very easily.
“Please cover the cracks in the doors and windows carefully. “I don’t want light to leak out.”
“All right.”
While waiting for Doyul to look around, Yerin lit the lantern she had brought with her in advance.
Meanwhile.
“oh.”
Yerin curled her lips.
This was because I found fur piled up in a corner like a mountain.
“This is a huge quantity?”
“… … “I had no idea there would be this many.”
Doyul’s face became serious.
That’s because it seemed like this amount was almost 70% of the entire quantity in Beihai Province.
That means.
“It may be that there really was a fur monopoly taking place.”
Doyul’s voice had suddenly become somber.
Yerin lightly patted Doyul’s shoulder.
“Cheer up, we’re here to fix that problem, right?”
“… … ma’am.”
“What if the palace lord, who is no one else, is like that?”
“That is correct.”
Doyul’s eyes became determined.
Yerin continued speaking as if to comfort Doyul.
“Let’s search a little more first.”
