Chapter 5

Episode 5

* * *

Hong Wenchang was in a bad mood recently.

This is because the bandits moving around the Honam region have touched every village, making people nervous.

Even the king’s office is trying to manipulate them, so we need to get rid of them as soon as possible, but they are so prolific that catching them is not as easy as you think.

In the end, they even put a bounty on the leader of the bandits by disguising him.

I would be more grateful if even the martial arts or rogues came forward and subdue them, but no one wanted to do anything.

‘It’s because of Changbai Mountain.’

Chang Baek-san was the leader of the bandits.

He possessed top-notch martial arts skills that most Ronans could not touch, and his horse riding skills were so good that he was even better at running away with a master than he was.

So many people gave up on catching them.

As the people’s complaints continued due to the king’s abuse and raids by bandits, Hong Won-chang eventually attacked the bandits’ stronghold after persistent pursuit.

Although he missed Changbai Mountain and most of his subordinates, he was fortunate enough to capture Changbai Mountain’s family and beheaded them all.

It was a kind of warning to Changbai Mountain.

This is a warning not to do any more nonsense.

However, due to the vengeance, Changbaeksan rampaged even further to the point that it could no longer be controlled by the power of the government. Now, troops will be dispatched from the imperial family.

“The imperial court will soon wipe them out on a large scale, so you have one less thing to worry about.”

“I wish I could do that too. “It’s already been over a year without me being able to rest.”

The police officers nodded as they looked at the frowning magistrate. No matter where the prefecture goes, they must follow. It is a kind of escort.

Since they killed Jangbaeksan’s family, the revenge would come back, so the police were in a situation where they could not take their eyes off the magistrate for even a moment.

Half a year has passed like that.

Although things have calmed down somewhat now, it was still inevitable that I felt nervous every time I left the government office. The police officers walked without paying attention, casting glances here and there.

It was then.

“huh?”

As I walked along the rough road for a while, a strange scenery caught my eye. There was clearly a manor that had not been there until 15 days ago.

The police officers blinked and Hong Won-chang lost another word.

“Hey guys, is what I’m seeing really real?”

“It’s definitely true. “There is definitely a leader.”

A grand and luxurious manor was built.

To build a manor of this size on this land, it would have taken over half a year of construction, even if dozens of workers were employed.

But it’s only 15 days.

Moreover, if you think about the time when the rumor began to spread, the period of time becomes infinitely shorter.

How can I explain this in words since the manor was created in such a short period of time?

gulp!

I was suddenly drooling.

“Amitabha Buddha- Amitabha Buddha-.”

“Mulimyangsubul!”

The police officers bowed their heads in displeasure. This is because

it was difficult for even them to think that what they were seeing with their own eyes was reality .

“I... really a ghost?”

“How could that be! “Let’s go!”

Hong Won-chang erased his anxiety and took a deep breath. I don’t believe it’s a ghost, so it must be a person. Or, there is also a possibility that he is a Murim person.

The martial arts people say that criminals sometimes do unexpected things.

As I approached the manor, I heard a shaking sound coming from one side. Everyone turned their heads with tense expressions. Suddenly, the bushes parted and a man appeared.

“hmm? “You don’t remember inviting any guests?”

Holding a rabbit in one hand, Dan Woo-hyeon looked at Hong Won-chang and the police officers. I didn’t like the sight of people crowded in front of someone else’s house, so I opened my eyes with a sigh,

but Hong Won-chang was not discouraged at all,

because he was a county commander.

“Are you the owner of this manor?”

“exactly. What about ‘that’?”

“I am Hong Won-chang, the wise spirit of Akyang.”

“This is Dan Woo-hyeon/

Even though he was told that he was a wise man, he was Dan Woo-hyeon who responded with a sour response. Hong Won-chang’s face instantly turned red, as if he was acting like he didn’t care about the wise man.

“Are you the one who built this manor?”

“It wasn’t built, it was renovated from an abandoned house.”

“What... what?!”

Puk puk puk!

Afterwards, arrows flew at random. The arrows raining down from the air came down as if they had accurately identified their prey and pierced the chests and necks of the police officers.

About a dozen police officers fell down in an instant.

“This... this...”

Hong Won-chang trembled.

I had no idea what on earth was happening. Spears and arrows came flying out of nowhere. Where and who shot it?

But soon I was able to recognize the evil beasts.

People were appearing here and there, cutting through the bushes. Heung Won-chang recognized the face of one of them and shouted in horror.

“Now—Changbai Mountain?!”

“Hahaha! Hong Won-chang! “You’re so good at shooting outside!”

The person running was definitely Changbai Mountain.

He glared at Hong Wenchang. Although he was laughing out loud, his eyes were full of death and it looked like he was going to attack me at any moment.

Hong Wenchang was extremely embarrassed.

The only thing that can be used as a weapon is a sword.

However, he could not win against dozens of top-notch experts.

While he was swallowing dry saliva in a situation where there was no escape route, Zhang Baeksan and his group surrounded Hong Wenchang.

“Today, your life comes to an end, Hong Won-chang!”

“Ugh...

it was a mistake.

I really didn’t think they would target me, the wise spirit.

In fact, there was a reason for letting down his guard because it had been half a year since he had killed his family.

“boss! “I’ll cut it down. I’ll avenge my brother Su-nim right now.”

“That’s right. boss! “I will cut off all of this guy’s limbs and use them as dog food.”

Bandits gnashed their teeth everywhere.

They killed all of the family members of Changbai Mountain who followed them, and their anger soared without realizing how high it was.

Those who grinded their teeth drew out their swords.

I was planning on tearing him to pieces right away.

That’s it. The two Heungwonchang can’t help but feel dispirited.

He was trembling with a pale complexion.

“Sa...- save me.”

“haha! I wondered when I would hear those words, but today I heard them. However, the fact that today is the day I receive your ancestral rites will not change!”

Changbai Mountain roared.

The bandits who had come down from their horses slowly approached.

He then forcibly grabbed Hong Wenchang and forced him to kneel.

“Hee hee!”

“Take it away! “I will show you hell.”

“yes!”

Hong Won-chang was led by his subordinates.

Meanwhile, Dan Woo-hyeon, who was standing there blankly, wondered what was going on.

The opponents appeared to be thieves, and they probably had a grudge against the wise man.

Dan Woo-hyeon frowned.

Not only was it a grudge, but it was also because the thick smell of blood flowing from the corpses scattered around irritated my nose.

“What will this boss do?”

At that time, a man pointed to Dan Woo-hyeon and asked.

Seeing that his hands were bound, he decided that he had been caught by the spirit while doing something.

He did not express any particular regret, as if he felt a sense of kinship because he thought they were the same criminals.

“Consider yourself lucky. “If it weren’t for us, we would have been in big trouble.”

At Chang Baek-san’s words, a man approached and untied the prisoner.

It meant just go.

Dan Woo-hyeon swallowed a groan while thinking about something.

I glanced at Hong Won-chang. It seemed like if Hyeon-ryeong was dragged away by the bandits like this, I wouldn’t have to worry about Jang-won’s affairs.

“Hmm—.”

However, Danwoo-hyeon felt something uneasy and scratched his head.
