Chapter 183

Episode 182

Late at night, Mak Chung-heon was walking down a deserted street.

There were a lot of people following him, and they all seemed like they would use their strength.

“The fog is thick.” Mak Chung-heon frowned as he walked. The fog was thick.

It was cold, but if you weren’t careful, the fog was so thick that you couldn’t even see what was in front of you, blocking your view.

In that gloomy atmosphere, I fell into the illusion that I was hearing a haunting sound.

Makchung Heon chuckled as he thought of a ridiculous thought.

So he started to leave Jangsa and head somewhere to avoid people’s eyes. At some point, he got on a horse and left Jangsa, heading towards Dongjeong Lake.

The surrounding area was a wide plain.

Except for the calm flow of Dongdong Lake, nothing was visible.

However, Makchungheon ran for a long time, passed through large rocks and lush bushes, and arrived at a cave that appeared to have been created naturally.

This was a place that could not be seen even while boating on Dongjeong Lake.

The lakeside bushes were blocking the entrance, and there was a large rock blocking the entrance, so I couldn’t even properly recognize that there was a cave inside.

Mak Chung-heon entered the cave.

“Luckily you are doing well.”

It was piled high with items stolen from the Golden Ring. If the liquor bottles and silk were sold at full price, the amount would easily be worth a million nyang.

It was quite a shame to have to dispose of this as a stolen item, but I felt at ease if I got rid of this item as soon as possible.

“Have you been in a place like this?” Then I heard a sound.

Mak Chung-heon and his sturdy guards turned their gaze.

A group of people dressed in brightly colored clothes stood there. At best, the three people standing at the front were dressed to look like they were the owners, and behind them were people who looked like they might use a sword.

And I also saw a familiar face.

I’m in trouble.

He was the prefect of Jangsa and a close associate of Mak Chung-heon.

“Geon Daein, it’s been a long time since I last saw you.”

Geonsochun.

He was a very powerful official who served Wang Ya in the royal palace, and he also had considerable influence in the central government.

“Yeah, it’s been a while. But why did you call me to a place like this?”

Jian Xiaochun asked with a somewhat dissatisfied expression.

He didn’t seem to like the idea of calling someone to such a deserted place at such a late hour.

I didn’t expect his expression to calm down.

“Of course, it was for you, wasn’t it?”

“Hmm... So what is your business?”

“We came here because we have recently acquired something...”

With those words, Mak Chung-heon began to guide them into the cave. Geon So-chun naturally followed inside and could not hide his surprise at the scenery he saw after a short walk.

“This is...!”

“It is the liquor and silk of the Hoyeon family.”

“How can you get these things...” “Hahaha, they somehow ended up in my hands

.”

Mak Chung-heon answered while pretending to cover his mouth with his finger. Just looking at it made me realize that I didn’t get it through an ordinary route.

Geon So-chun smiled.

“Recently, there are many people in Wangbu looking for the Hoyeon family’s liquor.”

“Haha, is that right? But...”

“Ah, I know. “Isn’t it okay as long as we don’t put it out in large quantities?” Geon Shaochun quickly assessed the situation and nodded as if he had already completed the calculation.

Since this was undoubtedly a stolen item, it had the advantage of being able to be purchased much cheaper than the regular price.

Just serving a bottle of it to the high-ranking officials he needs to impress will not only make a good impression, but will also be an opportunity to gain greater power.

“Good good. “How about 500 nyang of gold?”

Mak Chung-heon pretended to be lost in thought

.

‘Only five hundred nyang?’

Even if he took it and sold it to someone other than Geon So-chun, it was clear that he would receive more than that. He hesitated and did not answer, so Geonso-chun became impatient and raised his hands.

Mak Chung-heon, who entered the top, shouted loudly.

In terms of time, the weighted review should have already come back.

That’s why I called his name several times, but there was no answer.

Makchung Heon, overcome with anxiety as to whether he might have run away with the money, began to walk faster.

Makchung Heon, who was running towards the main building, suddenly stopped.

Because I saw people gathered on one side.

Mak Chung-heon frowned and approached the place because he was still irritated.

“Get out of the way!” At his one word, the guards as well as the few guards quickly made way.

Soon, the warehouse at the top was wide open, and Ga Gyeong-pyeong was seen sitting in front of it with a devastated expression.

Mak Chung-heon, who immediately tried to run over and grab Ga Gang-pyeong by the collar, was frozen like a stone statue and could not move.

“Ah... there’s nothing...?” There was nothing in the wide open warehouse.

Not only the Chumun family’s alcohol, but also the silk brought in from the West and all the various goods he traded were all gone.

It was just empty.

“How on earth is this happening?” Mak Chung-heon’s scream-like shout

engulfed the Honam upper class late at night.

“ha ha ha.”

Dan Woo-hyeon was watching the scene not far away. The look on the faces of the two people , who were devastated and had lost everything they had,

was refreshing.

Zhuge Un’s thoughts were exactly correct.

Although I had a hard time finding the cave, I got a clue from the story of the traitor from the Golden Ring that I had captured and searched the nearby area to find it.

From then on it was very easy.

There were a few guys guarding the inside, but they made it so that no matter what they did, they couldn’t be noticed by pointing out the blood transfusion.

He then filled the empty liquor bottles with dog and pig urine and changed them all.

Attaching the seals meticulously was quite an arduous task.

Because the smell of urine was stronger than he thought.

In addition, after confirming that the manpower of the Geumhwan Sangdan was leaving, he quickly robbed the Honam Sangdan with the help of Hong Won-chang’s soldiers and Sadohak.

It is natural that it does not even leave a trace.

I gave back what was done to me.

We found the lost items and even got a boat.

The blow suffered by Honam Trading Company will be several times greater than that suffered by Geumhwan Trading Company.

“Since all the money has been spent, you will have to sell almost all of your possessions to maintain the top spot.”

Zhuge Un, who was nearby, also smiled.

Not only did they bring things, but they even swept up vouchers and gold coins.

Since it was not a bearer slip, the slip cannot be used and will be burned, but Geumja can use it without any problems.

As a result, Honam Trading Company had no choice but to go bankrupt unless it immediately raised money.

“If you’ve been dealt this harshly, the next move is obvious.”

“That’s right. You may be trying to press it with force. “Now that I think about it, since the late Chwisan is here, I think he might come forward.”

“Gochwisan...? “Is it that great?”

“He is a person worth acknowledging at least for his military achievements. Of course...”

That’s right, in front of Dan Woo-hyeon and Sadohak Nam Gung-cheon, he was like a light in front of the sun.

“Can you dispose of stolen goods?”

At those words, Zhuge Un smiled and nodded.

“Do not worry. “If Honam Trading Company collapses, there will be an overflow of people to buy it.”

Once you touch it, you have to uproot it and throw it away.

Dan Woo-hyeon and Zhuge Un had the same thought.

It will never end this easily.

Zhuge Un felt his heart pounding for the first time in a long time and smiled like a child.

When was the last time you felt this way?

I felt truly fulfilled.
