Chapter 185

Episode 185. Change the prefecture (2)

Warak.

The fireman’s face distorted after receiving Myeongil’s report.

“Bun hyung was only appointed as a security guard in Seobyeon?”

“yes.”

“This is... not just an idiot.”

The fireman changed his mind.

“It seems like he’s losing his mind, so I’ll have to show him the bitter taste.”

Once you’ve made up your mind, there’s no reason to hesitate. This must be done before things get any worse.

* * *

The corners of Sangsoo Hyunryeong’s mouth were almost hanging on his ears these days.

“Gyowi has been driven out to Seobyeon, taxes are going to be collected several times today, and now the last thing left is Sieosa. I sent a letter to Uncle Huram in the imperial palace, so he will be fired soon too. Heukkeuk.....”

Huram was one of the ten attendants of the imperial palace, and although he had less power than Jo Deung and Geon-seok, he was still a man of power that could not be ignored.

Sang Hyeon-ryeong was sure that if she knew what had happened to her two sons, the painter’s hostess would come running and kneel down with her belongings.

Of course, I didn’t mean to look at the situation just because I got down on my knees.

At this point, he intended to use the painter as an example to warn other family heads.

“Hyeonryeong-nim.”

Then Hyunseung came over and bowed his head.

“why?”

“Now I’m going to start as a painter.”

“I even look at something like that. Go ahead and scrape it all off. They say that if you rebel, you will be thrown into prison for tax embezzlement.”

“All right.”

Usually, when he is at the level of Hyunseung, he does not directly move to collect taxes. However, this time, he moved directly under the command of the prefecture.

It wasn’t long after Hyunseung disappeared with the customs officers and officers, the sound of horses’ hooves could be heard from far away.

“What is it? What do you mean?”

In addition to the sound, there was a vibration that would shake your body if you were sitting still.

At this size, at least a few hundred cavalrymen would have to ride on horseback.

All of a sudden, the officials who remained at the prefectural office raised their spears and gathered in front of the building.

Sang Hyeon-ryeong hurriedly sent people to the Hyeon-wi-gun and had the Hyeon-cheong guarded by government officials.

‘If there was a band of bandits, there should have been some sign... How can there be no sign... Huh?’

After a while, Sang Hyun-ryeong saw that the officers and soldiers who were supposed to defend against the thieves easily opened the way.

‘What’s going on?’

The ones who came in between the officers who stepped aside were the Hyeonwi, high-ranking military commanders, and firefighters.

Although Sang Hyeon-ryeong did not know Hwa-bu, he could instinctively sense that he was leading the group.

Sang Hyeon-ryeong suddenly realized that the man who led the group was very similar to the military rank flower pot.

flashing thoughts.

“You guys... are you the painter of the Sheeosa company, the third of the painter?”

“It is true that he is the third of the painter, but now he is the Eosa Monk, not the Sieosa. what are the soldiers doing? Immediate arrest of that bastard, who is growing bloody from sucking the blood of the people, so that he does not kneel.”

Sang Hyeon-ryeong’s legs faltered when the painter took out the letter with Sang Jin-gyu’s seal along with the Eosa-seung card.

“Eh Sa-seung?! Uh how...”

“I follow the command of Master Eosa.”

In an instant, the generals jumped in and put Sang Hyeon-ryeong on his knees and tied him up.

The painter ordered Ok-ju and Jang-goe to bring documents from Hyun-ryeong’s office.

“It happened because of the achievements made at the imperial palace last time.”

“Oh... you’re like a goblin too.”

“How about a goblin? Thanks to that, I almost suffered such an unfair thing, but I was able to avoid it.”

“That’s right. If you weren’t a monk... It’s horrifying to even think about it.”

“I guess that’s why there’s a saying to get ahead if you feel unfair.”

“It is not wrong. By the way, can I, who was a soldier until now, suddenly be able to perform the duties of the prefecture?”

Although he sat in the seat of the prefectural governor as a temporary position, it had to be regarded as almost confirmed as the fireman posted a funeral order to the sang.

“What can I not do? If you do not accept anything like bribes and just follow the principles, you will benefit the people more than any other prefecture.”

“But I’m not a civil servant,

I’m a military officer ...” And I also do Taesoo and Jajasa’s neck. Would someone like Dong Tak commit suicide just because he was smart? You sit in such a position because you have a smart subordinate. If you think it will be really difficult for you too, then have a smart person under you.”

The expression of embarrassment disappeared from the face of the flowerpot who was listening to the painter.

“Smart one! Hearing you say, a few people come to mind.”

There were many people who dreamed of rising in the ranks among the gentry who were going down.

They were the kind of people who had endured without paying bribes.

Even before he went into military service as a military official, he had been acquainted with such people until now.

“Look at the ledger, pay Sang Hyeon-ryeong a bribe, cut off all the officials, and fill those positions with people like you. Then it will be much easier to run the prefectural office.”

“I get it. Listening to you, I can now see the way.”

The fireman knew his brother’s personality, so he did not say such trivial things as not to accept bribes.

While the two were discussing the affairs of the prefectural office, the person sent to Dongu-hyeon returned with a letter from his eldest brother, Hwa-bok.

The flower pot and the painter read the letter and immediately smiled bitterly.

“As expected.”

Hwabok knew that the Hwabu had become a monk. Perhaps because of that, he sent a reply saying that it was difficult to leave Donguhyeon.

The painter sent a reply back to his brother and informed him that the second brother, the flower pot, had become the sage of Chohyeon.

* * *

Flower pot married Ban-hee and received a formal appointment, becoming the prefect of Cho-hyeon.

Cho-hyeon began to change into a prefecture with solid internal stability as soon as the good and smart people saw the affairs of the prefectural office after punishing the corrupt officials of the prefectural office for being more messy than expected.

In the meantime, an uproar broke out in the imperial palace, and most of the generals, Ha-jin and the Siksangshi, were killed, and eventually Dong Zhuo led the Xiliang army, entered the imperial palace, dethroned Soje, and crowned King Jinryu as emperor.

When Dong Zhuo took control of the imperial palace and manipulated the emperor arbitrarily, Cao Cao sent a manifesto to the various feudal lords asking them to join forces to fight Dong Zhuo.

The manifesto sent by Cao Cao also reached the Xiahu family of Cho Hyeon.

And the person who brought the manifesto with a side leg visited the painter’s shop and told the painter that the lighting was in jeopardy.

The painter heard the news of Jo Deung’s emergency and thought for a long time.

It is not a problem to cure Jo Deng, but if you go there, you will meet numerous feudal lords who are preparing to fight Dong Zhuo, and you may get caught up in their war and be unable to get out.

“ha! I can clearly predict what will happen... but I made an appointment, so I can’t not go. I guess there aren’t many days in my life when I can rest comfortably.”

Hwabu eventually set off for Jinryu-gun with Janggi and his party.

When Huabu’s party arrived at Jinliu-gun, it was when the feudal lords of each region (Taishu Sasang) had almost completed preparations to invade Luoyang, with Yuan Shao as their leader.

The painter went straight to Jojiajang in Jinryu-gun.

“Booya, how have you been?”

Jojo made time to greet the fireman even though he was busy.

“How has your brother been?”

“I haven’t been well. Dong Tak took the imperial palace... no. Let’s talk about that later, let’s go to Grandpa first.”

“yes. By the way, where is Grandpa sick?”

“After leaving the imperial palace and coming down here, my body suddenly started to swell... These days, the symptoms have gotten worse and I can’t move well.”
