- Episode 57
“I thought, at least, the head of the financial circle and the head of the land would maintain a minimum of dignity.”
“… … Lord of the palace.”
“Because the head of the land is from a long-standing, prestigious family in the Beihai Province, and the head of the finances is also an elder who has been in charge of the finances of the Bing Palace.”
At those words, Sookmyung and Ji’s family members’ faces hardened.
That’s because Doyul’s voice was clearly filled with emotion.
That feeling was disappointment.
“I thought you would at least show sincerity in making this issue understandable, or at least make an excuse.”
Doyul’s gaze looking down at the two was as cold as ice.
“But that…” … “It was my excessive greed.”
The gaze was so cold that the two people froze in place, like rats in front of a tiger.
‘I can’t believe a fifteen-year-old boy has eyes like that!’
The head of the house swallowed dry saliva.
Doyul was neither angry nor excited.
I just quietly tell the truth.
“I promise.”
Inside the still, pitch-black eyes, a blue flame flickered.
“The North Sea Ice Palace will not just sit back and watch this incident.”
“Well, then… … .”
“I will use any means necessary to clearly determine the right and wrong of this incident.”
At those firm words, the faces of the Ji family members turned pale.
“Also, once this matter is all over, even if it’s in the name of the Lord of the North Sea Ice Palace.”
Doyul concluded his speech coldly.
“You will inevitably pay for what you have done.”
The moment I heard those words.
At that moment, Sookmyung felt like something had snapped in her mind.
‘How could they do this to me?’
Everything went wrong.
Haven’t you lived your whole life for the revival of Jigajang?
After being scolded by my brother and being glared at by my now deceased father.
He struggled to prove his usefulness, and eventually rose to the high position of financial head of the Bing Palace.
But it was in danger of completely falling apart before our eyes.
Therefore, Sookmyung needed someone to take responsibility for all of this.
Also, the person she was most suited to blame was right in front of her.
“you!!”
Fate’s twinkling eyes turned to Yerin.
huh? me?
Yerin looked at Fukmyung with a puzzled face.
Why are sparks suddenly flying at me?
However, fate was already thinking of putting all the blame on Yerin.
“You planned this all!!”
Clap, clap, clap!
Fate shook the iron bars like he was crazy.
That lowly thing that was wandering around like a mother ruined everything.
‘If only that woman hadn’t existed!’
She would still have lived as the head of financial affairs, receiving the respect of her disciples and the palace lord.
So all of these things were Yerin’s fault!
“Ever since you arrived at the North Sea Ice Palace as a matriarch, nothing has gone right!”
Sookmyung glared at Yerin with venomous eyes.
“If only you, if it weren’t for you… … !”
Yerin met his gaze with an astonished face.
However, Sookmyung’s eyes were already turning white with anger.
“The palace lord doesn’t know! “How vicious and clever that woman is!”
Isn’t that the case with this space tax issue as well?
After graciously accepting the ruby bracelet, he covered the eyes of the head of the household and Sookmyung by raising the issue of the rent.
How can you be so poisonous and evil!
“Besides, isn’t she the maiden of the Four Heavenly Tang Gates?”
Sookmyung shouted as if she was vomiting blood.
“Notwithstanding the many ill-fated relationships that the Sichuan Tang Gate and the Beihai Ice Palace have built so far!”
He then points his finger at Yerin.
“Do you think the party will treat that little girl like a daughter?!”
“What are you talking about now?”
“There is no benefit to Bingung at all if you treat that girl like a matriarch or something!”
“Financial Wonju!!”
Doyul burst out in anger.
Sookmyung flinched reflexively and stiffened his shoulders.
It was as if my head had been splashed with cold water, and only then did I come to my senses.
But Doyul was already sharp.
“Are you hurling such insults at my wife in front of me?”
“I thought that was…” … !”
“Then, what did Jae-jeong Won-ju, who talks like that, do for Binggung?”
Doyul glared at Sookmyung with a murderous gaze.
“The wife came to visit Seolucho, and as an auction host, she made a big profit from Binggung.”
“Ooh, palace lord… … .”
“Wasn’t the Minister of Finance abusing his position to eat up Beihai Province’s financial resources like a rat?”
Rat.
Despite that blatant disparagement, Sookmyung could not say anything.
This was because Doyul was so angry.
“Aren’t you the Lord of Finance who is supposed to take care of the people of Behai Province?”
“… … that.”
“You, like that, were giving twice as much money to the head of the household and the top! Shame on you!!”
A sharp energy arose in Doyul.
It was a matter of survival.
Of course, Sookmyung, who had not learned martial arts, found it difficult to survive.
“Well… … !”
Sookmyung took a vain breath.
Even the members of the discipline team are looking this way in horror as they feel the deadly force.
Yerin, who was worse off, took a step closer to Doyul.
“My lord, I am fine.”
“… … ma’am.”
“It’s probably because the head of the Ministry of Finance is so devastated. “I can understand.”
Yerin tried to comfort Doyul as much as she could.
However, the energy of Doyul still showed no signs of subsiding.
“Even if you say so, madam, I can’t stand it.”
“Palace lord.”
“How could I remain silent when my wife was insulted right before my eyes?”
Doyul responded sharply.
At those words, Yerin quietly shook her head.
Then he spoke kindly.
“It seems that the Lord of Finance has suffered a great deal of mental shock due to various events.”
what?!
Sookmyung opened her eyes wide.
That’s because Yerin was just mildly saying, ‘The head of finance is not in his right mind right now.’
In addition, Yerin gently pushed up the corner of her lips.
“It seems like your judgment is impaired right now, so I think it would be best to give you a break.”
Yerin glanced at Sookmyung, who was shaking.
Unlike her voice, which was as soft as cotton, Yerin’s eyes were just cold.
“from now on… … .”
Yerin’s smile became a little deeper.
It was a smile like a knife.
“Sound judgment will be very necessary.”
It was also a warning that if he did not do so, he would not be able to survive the interrogation.
“The palace lord, please take your leave of this life.”
“but… … !”
“That person is not even worthy of the palace lord’s anger.”
Yerin continued speaking playfully.
Only then did Doyul’s expression relax a little.
“Really, your wife too.”
Doyul sighed and gave up his life.
“… … “Huh!”
As the life suppressing his breath disappeared, Fate stumbled out of breath.
At the same time, Mu Gong-ju took a step forward.
“Okay then, let’s begin the interrogation.”
Fear appeared on Fate’s face.
* * *
Mu Gong-ju remained in prison, saying he would supervise the interrogation.
Doyul, Yerin, and Gyulwonju got out first.
“It will probably feel worse than death.”
As he climbed the stairs leading to the ground, Gyulwonju said that casually.
“Mu Gong-ju is a pretty strict person.”
“… … is that so.”
Do it.
Yerin was a little convinced.
To Do-yul and Ye-rin, Moo Gong-won-ju is just like a kind grandfather.
While building the North Sea Ice Palace, which has been difficult so far, firmness and determination must have been essential.
‘Besides, when I first entered martial arts… … .’
The crazy eyes that Mu Gong-won-ju showed at that time.
Yerin trembled slightly from the chill that came over her.
But then.
Gyulgyulwonju glanced at Yerin and Doyul.
“I may be indecent, but may I ask you two to talk for a moment?”
… … What on earth are you talking about so seriously?
Doyul and Yerin looked at each other with puzzled faces, then fixed their gazes on Gyulwonju.
“Both of you…” … “You really contributed greatly.”
what?
Yerin tilted her head.
Even though it’s clearly a compliment.
Is it because of my mood that the voice somehow sounds mixed?
“From the perspective of the North Sea Ice Palace elder… … is it so. “I can’t help but praise you.”
Gyulwonju continued speaking in a subdued tone.
“We have uncovered the collusion between the Ministry of Finance, the head of the land family, and the Geumhwa Merchant Marine Company, and have prevented further fur monopolies.”
“Lord Disciple Won… … ?”
“It will definitely be a great help to the lives of the people of Beihai Province.”
Gyulgyulwonju raised his head and looked at Yerin and Doyul alternately.
“Can I tell you one thing from the heart of a grandfather who cares for a child?”
“Please feel free to tell me.”
As soon as he heard Doyul’s answer, Gyulgyulwonju opened his mouth as if he had made up his mind.
“I understand that it was just the two of you who infiltrated and entered the Gold Coin Merchants Company.”
omg.
Doyul and Yerin shrugged their shoulders side by side.
Gyulwonju opened his eyes.
