Chapter 332

Episode 332. A mouse in danger (1)

“Hello, Grand Chancellor? I’m here to congratulate President Hwabok on his inauguration.”

“Isn’t congratulations supposed to be given at the inauguration ceremony? How did you come already?”

In fact, Ha Hu-dong was sufficiently surprised that the head of the house had come here.

Jihandang is not a place that anyone can enter.

That is not something that the owner of the household can do carelessly, no matter how rich he is and how wide his personal connections are. This is especially true if the opponent is notorious for not giving special treatment to anyone.

“In fact, it was difficult for me to attend the inauguration ceremony because I had to go up a long distance soon. So I’m here to greet you in advance.”

Hahudong clicked his tongue after hearing Sao’s words.

“her! I knew that Sagajang’s prestige was great, but I didn’t know it would be so great that I couldn’t even attend Tae-soo’s inauguration ceremony. If a person named Jangju holds an event like this, it is his job to look at the success of the work and hand over the ascending to the manager. Tsk tsk..... Isn’t this like saying you don’t want to do business in Luoyang at all?”

“That’s not it. This trip is really important, so I had no choice but to... So I came here to say hello in advance.”

“Are you hoping for preferential treatment and even saying hello? That’s right... I really didn’t know that Sagajang was so ugly.”

“No, that’s not it, Mr. It’s just that I had the opportunity to say hello to Governor Hwabok several times from before...” “

I didn’t know that it would be enough to make the inauguration ceremony, which all the nobles and lords of Luoyang have to attend, be laughed at just because we knew each other for a short while. Well business is busy, what can I say? Take care. Even if you face a disadvantage later, you can make up for the loss by doing well in business.”

Xia Hudong’s face hardened, but he didn’t care and spat out harsh words.

In fact, his words and actions, saying that he had Mupyeonghu as his back, were said to be insignificant except for those like Taesu and Hahu Dodok.

In his eyes, he is only one of many merchants even if he runs a large troupe.

“Eosa Daebu and Tae Soo are coming.”

At that time, one of Jihandang’s servants ran from afar and informed them that the two were coming.

Upon hearing the news, the officials staying at Jihandang adjusted their clothes, and the guards changed their postures to prepare to greet the two.

Xia Hudong was in a hurry, so he stopped intimidating Sagajangju and hurriedly walked to the entrance of the Jihandang Hall first, bowing toward the fireman and the firefighter.

“Daejangryeong Hahudong is meeting Eosa Daebu and Taesu.”

“What happened to Hahu Daechangryeong to Jihandang?”

When Hwabok made a slightly annoyed expression, Hahudong cringed even more and moved closer, opening his mouth.

“I have something to tell Tae-soo. Can I be alone for a while?”

“If it is because the customs officers of the eastern army came to investigate the tax office’s books, then I have nothing to say to Dae Chang-ryeong. If there is a sin, it will be received; if there is no sin, I will reward it.”

“Tae-soo, is there anyone in the world who doesn’t get dirty by shaving? But I’m moving forward rather than that problem...”

Suddenly, the fireman next to Hwabok found Sao behind Hahudong and greeted him fiercely.

“oh! Isn’t it the head of the company? When did you come here?”

“Meet Eosa Daebu and Hwabok Taesu.”

When Sao bowed, the painter walked past Xiahudong and approached him, grabbing his hand.

“Even so, I went to Sagajang to meet Jangju a little while ago, and I was on my way back after walking in vain.

“I must have crossed paths with Eosa Daebu as I took a shortcut.”

“Have you eaten?”

“It’s still before the ceremony to be with Eosa Daebu.”

“Hyung-nim and I had a ceremony, but it went well. I will live and guide you to the delicious places in Luoyang. Didn’t Zhang Zhu say? Luoyang is said to have the most delicious food in the Central Plains.”

“I asked the hostess of the oligarch to prepare a special dish to accompany the two of us. Please go.”

“Yes, yes. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a good drink. Ha ha ha! let’s go go! brother let’s go Today I will sell my underwear and buy you a big drink.”

“Oh, Godfather, what do you mean by that? What is the reason why I am doing business this way, and you are saying that Eosa Daebu is buying me alcohol? Please give me a chance to serve you.”

“With what I’ve eaten so far, my stomach will already explode. If I don’t buy it at this opportunity, when will I have another chance to buy it? So today I will live. don’t be shy go go! Brother, let’s go too.”

but.

“Simple? Even when all the other bitches left the house, I stayed and waited until the end. What? Soak? Come on, give me that disgusting naivety. I’m going, so ask those bitches who have been banging on the butt to take care of themselves.”

bang.

Ha Hudong’s wife jumped up and nervously shut the door and left.

“Is this bitch crazy? Aren’t you standing there right now? It may seem funny that I have become like this now, but I am not dead yet. Hey, is anyone there?”

Angry, Xiahudong first called for his wife, but when she did not return, he called for his servants, but somehow none of the servants came running.

“Mrs. Um? Mrs. Kyung? Mrs. Yoon? Can anyone answer me? Hello, hello...”

Hahudong called the second wife, the third wife, and the other wives he had taken as concubines, but no one answered. As the headquarters manager said, they had already left the house to find their own way to live.

Hahudong heard that while he was beaten and imprisoned, his property was confiscated, but he did not realize it.

No matter how much property was confiscated, it was mistaken that at least it would have made it possible to live.

Ha Hu-dong only opened the door and came out after a while, and only after confirming that the servants were not visible from the main hall, the large yard, and the kitchen, he began to recognize the reality.

“They said they would confiscate all of their property... No way!”

Hahudong was uncomfortable, but he gnashed his teeth and got up.

Now there was no time to lie down and tremble. After a while, he relied on a long stick and moved to the warehouse and barn.

“이 이 악랄한 개새끼.....”

창고와 곳간이 텅텅 비어 있었다.

Not only did they take the gold and silver treasures and land documents they had collected, but they also robbed everything they had.

Xia Hudong trembled and went to the wine cellar where he hid the gold and silver treasures.

The alcohol that was full of poison had already disappeared.

There was a brief moment of relief in Hahudong’s eyes as he looked at the wall.

There was no sign of being touched.

Hahudong knew that he could no longer feel his wife’s presence in the house, but after looking around to see if he was still concerned, he gently pushed against the wall.

Took.

At that moment, the wall split in two, revealing a space for a large jar to be buried.

“Fortunately, this didn’t go unnoticed.”

And in that space, glittering gold ingots and jewelry remained intact.

After confirming that the hidden money was safe, Ha Hu-dong began to think about how to get revenge by applying medicine to his buttocks and thighs.

‘I’d like to hire them even if I can spend money to buy them, but... I can’t help but buy them. How can I get revenge on those dog-like Fahrenheit brothers?’

They were always surrounded by escorts and had hundreds of thousands of soldiers, so the path to revenge seemed as remote as climbing an endless cliff.

However, Hahudong pondered over and over again.

I was beaten too badly to end like this, so I gritted my teeth and rolled my head to make a move.

Suddenly.

As I pondered so much, it occurred to me that Sagajangju, a wealthy man in Nakyang, had been too friendly with Hwabok, the prefect of another province, or Hwabu, the feudal lord.

If you do big business, you may know the governor or feudal lord of another province, but even so, it is not easy to be friendly and welcome.

In order to have that kind of friendship, there had to be that kind of relationship and trade going back and forth.

‘Come to think of it, Sagajang was a group figure!’

As I visited Sagajang from time to time to extort a lot of bribes, I was able to identify the main items that Sagajang traded.
