Episode 232
“Why are you in a place like this?”
Jang Sam-tae looked at Hong Won-chang, who was running and gasping, with a surprised expression. Although it was nice to see someone who was supposed to be in Honam come to Beijing, Jang Sam-tae’s face was filled with annoyance.
For some reason, it seemed like he was going to bring the case.
“Haha, seeing my lord in a place like this... I guess Hong Won-chang’s luck has changed.”
Hong Won-chang glanced at Jang Sam-tae, then turned his head to ignore him. Then he turned his gaze towards Dan Woo-hyeon and laughed.
He also seems to have no desire to deal with Jang Sam-tae.
The two people looked at each other for a moment and then boom! He turned his head.
“Why are you here?”
Dan Woo-hyeon also asked with a puzzled expression.
This is because the distance between Honam and Beijing is considerable, so traveling back and forth is not easy.
Hong Won-chang scratched his head.
“Um... haven’t you forgotten that I am a government official?”
” ah.”
“...Right.”
Hong Won-chang drooped his shoulders and sighed.
Both of them seemed to have forgotten that he was a government official.
“Recently, strange things have been happening frequently in Beijing, so I came here to investigate.”
“You mean that?”
“yes.”
“...Right.”
Dan Woo-hyeon looked at Hong Wenchang with a distrustful gaze.
Hong Won-chang turned his head without realizing it.
Since he was the best prefect and known for not having any unsolved cases, he seemed to have been called all the way to Beijing to take charge of this matter.
In fact, nothing was solved by Heung Won-chang, and most of the cases were solved by Dan Woo-hyeon, so Hong Won-chang could not help but be happy to have met Dan Woo-hyeon here.
“What’s the point of standing in a place like this? Why don’t you go to my house first?”
“house? Do you have a house in Beijing?”
Hong Won-chang smiled broadly and nodded.
It was none other than Hong Won-chang.
It seemed like he might have one or two houses in Beijing.
Heung Won-chang quickly took the lead as if Dan Woo-hyeon was not there.
It is probably not an illusion that he looks quite happy, as if he has seen a glimmer of hope.
“If it’s Daein Hong, it’s him, right?”
Maehyang, who was following behind, looked at Hong Wonchang, who was ahead, with a curious gaze.
His gaze was bright, as if he was looking at someone he admired, and this was because Hong Won-chang’s name was well known outside of the country.
“It’s him?”
“Why is that there! “There is no case that cannot be solved... a prefectural decree.”
“Damn.”
Jang Sam-tae shook his head with a somewhat pitiful expression. If it weren’t for Dan Woo-hyeon, Hong Won-chang would be nothing.
Knowing that, it was just funny.
“what? no?”
Maehyang tilted her head.
Hong Won-chang was someone that even the martial arts people would bow their heads to, but Jang Sam-tae’s expression did not look that good.
“There is such a thing. “You don’t have to know.” “Would it be helpful if I told you a little bit?”
“You don’t have to know!”
“I understand!”
The voices of the two people echoed throughout the streets of Beijing. Since people passing by were staring, Hong Won-chang, who was ahead, must have been quite embarrassed, so his face turned red.
“Master, who on earth is that woman
?”
It was like seeing another Jang Sam-tae.
“Our chieftain. “You said you wouldn’t do anything troublesome.”
“You wouldn’t know it if you looked at it, right? “I don’t want to be so tactless...”
Hong Won-chang flinched without realizing it at the criticism and venomous gaze coming from the two people’s mouths.
Hong Won-chang has seen many people and dealt with vicious people, but today, I felt like I had become smaller without realizing it.
“Jangju says don’t pass on troublesome tasks.”
“How on earth do you live with this thing called thinking? Is this really the famous Hong Hyeon-ryeong? “Isn’t it someone else?”
Squeak, squeak.
Hong Wenchang lowered his head, sweating.
For some reason, I felt guilty.
I often hear my wife say that I don’t care, but I’ve never heard it outright like this.
I was discouraged without realizing it.
“Well... something like that.”
Dan Woo-hyeon muttered while playing with his chopsticks without a care in the world. Although the words came out a bit harshly, he seemed to be in a good mood as he spoke for me in a refreshing manner.
However, on the other hand, Hong Won-chang was frozen like a stone statue and could not move, and eventually he jumped out in front of Dan Woo-hyeon, looking at him.
Eventually, I grabbed the leg of my pants.
“Please... help me, my lord! “If you don’t do this, Hong Won-chang will die.”
“So I didn’t come to Beijing to take care of troublesome matters.”
“please. Please help me just this once!”
Dan Woo-hyeon looked at Hong Won-chang with a somewhat annoyed expression. There is still a long way to go, but I wasted a lot of time due to various incidents.
Dan Woo-hyeon wanted to go back to see Dan So-mi as soon as possible, so he didn’t want to waste any more time.
“hate.”
“Don’t do that, help me! Don’t you say you will dedicate your whole life to your lord?
“There is no need. And don’t talk nonsense. If anyone hears it, they might misunderstand it...”
“No! If I have to die, I will! So please help me just this once!”
Dan Woo-hyeon sighed at the tone of earnestness.
When I glanced at Hong Won-chang, I saw that he was shedding tears. Woohyun wasn’t the type of person to be moved by a man’s tears, but he shook his head as if there was nothing he could do.
This is not something that happened in Honam, but something that is happening in Beijing. How urgent was it for the emperor to summon Hong Wenchang?
Also, if it was not resolved, it seemed that Hong Won-chang would not end well either.
“Whoa... tell me.”
“thank you! Thank you my lord! This Hong Won-chang will be my lord for the rest of his life...”
“Now that’s enough, just talk.”
Dan Woo-hyeon waved his hand as if there was no need for any more nonsense. Then Heung Won-chang quickly sat down, wiped away his tears, and cleared his throat again with a solemn expression.
“Big! Here in Beijing, “Oh my, this is so ugly...”
Maehyang muttered with a bewildered expression. It was clear on his face that he couldn’t believe that that person was Hyeonryeong Hong, who was respected by everyone.
It felt like a broken dream.
“The city is noisy! Anyway, here in Beijing...”
Heung Won-chang glanced at the faces of Jang Sam-tae and Mei-hyang. He looked anxious, wondering if he was going to interfere again.
However, he just played with his chopsticks as if he didn’t even care about Jang Sam-tae or even Maehyang.
Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and continue speaking.
“Recently, young children have been disappearing. “It doesn’t discriminate between men and women, and there’s not even a trace, so we can’t find the culprit.”
Dan Woo-hyeon flinched at Hong Won-chang’s words while sighing. For the first time, I turned my head and looked at Hong Wenchang with real interest.
“Children are disappearing?”
“Yes, it seems like it’s normal now to wake up and find your children gone. Because it is spreading not only in Beijing but all over Hebei...”
Tak!
Dan Woo-hyeon put down his chopsticks.
“At first, I thought they were atheists active in Shaanxi... I thought they were doing something... but no matter how I looked, they didn’t seem to be them...” While talking about the atheists, Hong Won-chang caught Dan Woo-hyeon’s attention. I looked.
This is because no one in the world knows that he has some connection with the god of war.
“I see... children?”
