Episode 91. Become a commissioned inspector (1)
“Kya-! She was really pretty back then.”
“who? oh that girl? yes. I saw it too, and my wife is a fucking chicken compared to that woman.”
“Anyway, why did he disappear without a word?”
“Why did you disappear? I was rescued, but many people saw how I was being treated by the Taepyeongjangju... I don’t want to hide even if it’s embarrassing.”
“Well, there is nothing we can do for her. I would also quietly hide.”
“That’s why Inspector Jo doesn’t think too much of her.”
“.....”
The story of the soldiers drinking and chatting was heard in the ears of Okju, the chief of Taepyeongjang.
Ok-joo dyed her hair with ink to hide her gray hair and was wearing a hood.
‘Taipyeongsaja’s beauty world worked. I wish I would have died... but there’s nothing I can do about it.’
If the Taiping Lion is dead, there is no reason for him to hide.
If you go to the branch of another prefecture and take care of it properly, you can take a seat again. However, since the Taepyeong lion escaped safely, if he knew that he was fine, he would realize that he had been deceived, and then he would die without being able to pull it out or beat it this time.
From now on, not only the soldiers, but also the eyes of Taepyongdo should be avoided.
After Okju ate, she went upstairs to her guest room.
Then he took out the jade bottle from the bag. Shaking off the jar, he found five pills of medicine that extended the ban.
Whoa~.
I let out a sigh.
The more I look, the more my heart hurts. Only five eggs.
“I thought it would be full.”
If you take one pill, you can last 6 months.
There are 5 pills left, so if you add the last dose, you can last for the next 3 years.
If I don’t take the antidote after three years, I’ll probably die of a terrible headache.
Ok-joo let out a deep sigh and put the jade bottle back in.
“You have to find a way to live in three years.”
The next day, Ok-ju left the inn, left Chohyeon, and went to the vicinity of Yeongcheonseong to take over the guest cup of Hyeonho.
‘Because it was said that it was dark under the lamp.....’
Ok-joo took over Hyeon-ho Gaek-jan and hired both Suk-su and Jeom-soi, who did the food.
The reason why he took over Hyeonho Gaekjan was that the officials of Hyeoncheonseong and purveyors of goods usually used the nearby Gaekjan.
Poetry doctors in particular often stop by for a drink.
‘If we enlist the city council, we might be able to create a solution to lift the ban.’
It’s been two months since I’ve been running the inn like that.
Certainly, after the provincial doctors had left the court, they often stopped by, ordered food and drinks, and chatted among themselves.
Ok-ju showed kindness and made friends by giving free drinks or cooking whenever the city doctors came.
As the owner’s benevolence improved, more poets came and visited more often, and the friendship deepened that much. Then, the city doctors even provided free treatment at a shop or a guest house.
Then one day, the city doctors had a group dinner at Hyeonogaekjan.
Ok-ju saw Gyeong-deok, the head of the city council, for the first time that day.
And it was frightening enough to swallow the wind.
‘That dog was a poem!’
Kyeong-deok of the city council did not recognize the disguised Ok-ju, but Ok-ju recognized Kyeong-deok at once.
The culprit who made him become a slave to the Taepyeonggyo and took the drug cancellation every six months.
An official of the Taepyeonggyo, who forbade himself with unknown drugs and acupuncture, was Gyeongdeok, a member of the city council of defeat.
On that day, Ok-joo agonized over whether or not to assassinate Gyeong-deok, the city council member, but in the end, the assassination was not carried out.
‘It’s easy to kill, but if that happens, it’ll be difficult for me to be safe.’
Either way, you have to get a lot of drugs or get rid of the ban. Revenge is next.
Ok-joo suppressed her will to live, promising the future, and while doing so, she heard unexpected news.
Hyeonbi committed suicide by taking poison, but the Hwabu lawmaker saved him, and the news came that Gyeongdeok, who had been at odds with the Hwabu, would be forced out of office sooner or later in a great predicament.
“Hyeonbimama, have you been well?”
Hyeonbi now faced the fireman without hitting his feet.
“Thanks to Dr. Hwa, it has improved a lot.”
“I need to check how much I’ve improved, so I’ll take a pulse first.”
“Do it.”
The painter put on a satisfied expression after consuming Hyeonbi.
“Your body has recovered very much.”
“After exercising as Congressman Hwa ordered and taking decoctions, my body feels as light as if I could fly away.”
“At this level, you can use the slander I gave you.”
Hyeonbi’s eyes sparkled when he heard the fireman’s words.
“Then can I call the statue to my place now?”
“Yes, it is quite possible. Although you are not yet in the physical condition to conceive, you will be able to see the effect of slander.”
“What a great slander, how confident Congressman Hwa is... I’ll check today.”
“There will definitely be good results. However, I am concerned about one thing.”
“What are you afraid of?”
“If Mama conceives now, it may not be a problem with the baby, but Mama’s health may be greatly damaged. So you should be concerned about that too. In addition, I heard that Sang-san has his eyes elsewhere these days...”
“That is not something you should worry about. No matter how much my bitch flutters the hem of her skirt, it’s a trivial piece of cloth.”
From her tone of voice, the painter could feel the strength of the Gogajang that stood behind her.
“Then I will go away.”
“okay. I’ll send someone tomorrow.”
“yes. mama.”
The painter left Hyeonbi’s residence and returned to Yeoncheong guesthouse, and that night, through misinformation, he was able to hear the news that Sang was at Hyeonbi’s residence.
Obo was very close with the Musuri and the Nines. Because of this, he was well aware of news that was difficult for painters to access.
From that day on, it was rumored that Sang only visited Hyeonbi’s place every night. And from the next day, I heard that even at lunch, I excluded other wives and only ate with Hyeonbi.
The painter thought the time had come when he heard that Sang and Hyeonbi had lunch together.
‘It’s almost time to call...’
Sang called the fireman when the afternoon came, as if the fireman’s prediction was correct.
“I will receive your Highness.”
Sang nodded while accepting the painter’s bow with an expression like a full-bodied lion.
“I heard that Congressman Hwa analyzed the poison Hyun-yi ate, is that true?”
“Your Highness. I heard that the poets couldn’t figure out the ingredients of the poison, so I did an analysis, though I was lacking.”
“So what poison was used?”
“When the poison was analyzed, it was found that rare medicinal materials were used even in the medical inventory of Uicheong.”
“what?”
Not only Sang, but also other senior officials around him were surprised.
“Not all medicines are beneficial to the body. Some medicines are highly toxic and must be neutralized by boiling or mixing with other medicines to become poisonous. However, as a result of my analysis, the poisons that were intended to harm Hyeonbimama’s body were either used without removing the toxicity of those medicines, or rather, they were those that increased toxicity by using the opposite medicines.”
Sang, who heard the fireman’s words, put on a look of disbelief for a long time, then turned his head and looked at one of his servants.
“Left cheomsa.”
“Your Highness.”
“I heard that your medical skills are as good as poetry, is that true?”
“How can my lowly medical skills compare with those of poets? It’s just that some servants in the house have been cured of sickness by luck.”
“That’s enough to assume you know medicine.”
“Yes, I know a little bit.”
“Then, is what the Hwabu member said right now?”
“Yes, you are right. Some of the medicines are highly toxic, in which case they must be neutralized before use. Because such drugs interact, when used as poisons, analysis becomes difficult.”
“her! Is that so? That is what the Hwabu member said.”
