Tong-i-mun’s post-war story was that he was a well-established intelligence dealer who had been working in Sichuan Province for over ten years.

The post-war story was that Tong-i-mun was still proud of being one of the top five intelligence organizations in Sichuan Province. Due to the nature of the information organization, its identity is not easily revealed, but having lived in this field for over ten years, I was able to obtain enough information to trace the outlines of competitors.

The request that came from Golden Street was a big deal for Tong Imoon.

[Bring information on the Sichuan ninja named Hocheonan!]

Could there be an intelligence merchant who doesn’t know that gold is overflowing in the golden district? The compensation was very generous, so I had no choice but to do my best no matter what.

“Hmm.”

First, we decided to look back from before and after the incident.

First of all, the information about Dang Do-gyeong and Yeo Il-ye stopping by the Rongin Gaekjan and returning was a story of little value. Whether it was Dang Do-gyeong or Yeo Il-ye, they must have visited the ronin guest house because they had some business to do with the ronin.

‘I’ll pass this over and next time…’

It was a widely known story that Gobulin of the Golden Family worked as a broker. If you were an intelligence dealer, you couldn’t have known about the witchcraft performance that took place in front of the Golden Family even if you tried.

Therefore, I realized that the ronin named Ho Cheon-an, who was commissioned by Hwanggeumga, was the ronin who performed the magic trick. Otherwise, there would have been no reason to point out a ronin named Ho Cheon-an in Golden Street and ask for information.

And it wasn’t that difficult to track down the whereabouts of that person named Ho Cheon-an. These days, I moved in with a female Sacheon ronin.

The before and after story began to go through Ho Cheon-an’s actions in reverse order.

‘This is quite easy compared to making money. ‘Should I have given it to my subordinates?’

Since most of the affairs of the Sacheon Nangin caused a stir, most of the Sacheon Nangin’s movements were recorded. If you search through the documents properly, it wouldn’t be that difficult to find Ho Cheon-an’s whereabouts.

It was a small amount of money, so I was collecting information myself, but compared to the determination I had to make just looking at the amount, it was a tedious job.

Sacheonseong was a gathering place of sects who were active with the support of the huge powers of the nine factions, one faction, and five generations, although they were in contact behind the scenes. But how can Sichuan Province be so easy?

Information was essential for the martial arts faction to survive in Sichuan Province. Could there be an area where the flow seen from the outside and the inside of the water are so different? Clan factions that have grown in power and dipped their toes in the water even a little are divided into one of two groups.

Either they are swept away by the ridiculous undercurrent flowing inside the water and disappear without a trace.

Detecting vortices flowing inside the water and trying to come up with countermeasures.

The latter faction was supposed to knock on the information door.

The first thing those sects looked for was information about Sacheon Rangin. The ecology of the Murim sect is completely different from that of other regions. Among them, the most heterogeneous one would be the Sacheon Longin.

Stealing away the latter’s new sects was the real pleasure of being an information dealer in this Sichuan industry.

The ecology of Sichuan Province is so deformed and distorted. If we get our hands on the ronin’s information, wouldn’t we be able to use it somehow to gain hegemony? New sects with this idea roll their eyes and hand out gold.

And information companies work hard to sell the information of those criminals. For example, a man named Banwoldo Jeongsam became a Sacheonangin. Banwoldo Jeongsam is a ronin who worked in the ronin industry in Hanam and uses a method called Banwoldobeop. New information, etc.

The clans who were so ambitious and imported the personal information of women eventually realized this as they gained more time while living in Sacheon. If the identity of the ronin is revealed, only they will lose. Even if they say that Sichuan province will become the loser by driving out or using the Sichuan ronin.

After that, we realize that this is a structure that has no choice but to become a struggle that washes away real blood with blood.

‘All you have to do is get rid of the gobies who cross the line.’

Nevertheless, there were sometimes sects who were blinded by true greed and had the ambition to overthrow Sichuan Province. Now, the information merchants sell that information to Yu Yu-yeon.

Then, Yoo Yu-yeon issues Bimucheop and destroys that sect.

The intelligence merchants of Sacheon take advantage of the new clans born in Sacheon, which has become peaceful again.

The one who knocked on the door of Sichuan Province full of confidence. If you cannot see through the other side, you die, and those who see through the other side are busy holding their breath and living.

“Tsk tsk. Sichuan Province must have looked funny.”

Taegyeongmun were people who threw themselves into the water without even noticing the flow of water.

Jeon Hudam clicked his tongue while reading the Gyeongsu Mayor incident report.

“Well, it’s not that there is no reason to believe it, but…is it a noble family from Yunnan? Kyungsoo? Does it make sense to settle down in Sichuan Province with at most the capital equivalent of a country lodge?”

Tae-kyung Moon-ju, who had nothing but a military book and a bare body, received a large sum of money as an investment, which could have fueled his ambition, but the heart is the heart, and reality is reality.

The frog in the well was fussing, not knowing that Sacheon was scary. People who don’t even know the basics are bound to have trouble because they hired a ronin. Since Goburin cut off Taegyeongmun, all that remains is for Taekyeongmun to wither and die in Sacheon.

“Hmm… It bothers me that Yeo Il-ye went to visit Rongingaekjan.”

The story of Yeo Il-ye, a ronin shredder, entering a ronin guest house and coming out without causing any injuries was quite a hot topic among intelligence dealers. Since then, he has been causing a stir in the Sichuan martial arts world by revealing his transcendental inaction, and the information about what happened inside the Ronin guest house, which was the starting point of the disturbance, was enough to stimulate curiosity.

‘There was also a rumor that Ronin gave enlightenment to Yeo Il-ye.’

If I think about it now, it was right that Yeo Il-ye gave the silver medal to Ho Cheon-an in that incident. At the Yabawipan in front of Hwanggeumga, Ho Cheon-an put on Yeo Il-ye’s silver won plaque, and the only opportunity to receive the silver won plaque was when Yeo Il-ye came into the Ronin Gaekjan.

“Why, we met inside the guest house and there was a fuss…”

It was difficult to obtain information on the inside of Ronin Gaekjan, even if it was a before-and-after story from an information merchant.

In the first place, those who visit ronin guesthouses, whether they are brokers or ronin, are basically in high-income occupations. If information leaked in that small, closed space, who leaked the information would be identified in an instant, so it was not possible to open one’s mouth for a considerable amount of money.

However, it is difficult to contact the clerks or servants who work at Ronin Gaekjan, as they are chosen by Yu Sa-yeon and live at Ronin Gaekjan all the time.

Things would be easier if Yeo Il-ye and Ho Cheon-an had a clear connection, but it was frustrating to have to rely only on guesses.

“Hocheonan, Hocheonan…”

First of all, it is true that a ronin named Ho Cheon-an is the center of all events.

‘Sweet, it looks suspicious.’

In the rational realm, causal relationships cannot be established.

The moment you encounter information, there is a moment when something is connected in the instinctive or unconscious realm.

For some reason, the moment I heard about Yabawi, the story behind it reminded me of Gaehwaru’s gambling scene.

There was a time when a great reversal occurred in a huge game with over 100 nyang worth of gold, and the gambling table was noisy.

Thanks to this, Do-gwi became known as the greatest gambler in Sacheon. And that person suddenly disappeared somewhere.

‘A gambling expert who can deceive a transcendent expert… Is this Ho Cheon-an?’

The connection between Ho Cheon-an and Yeong Yeong-ru’s gamblers was vague. One was a Yabawi expert and the other was a dice expert. In general, gamblers tend to have a specialty, but it was questionable that a gambler who could deceive an expert was so good at countergaming.

‘The information I bought at Gaehwaru… let’s see…’

Gaehwaruju also bought information with gold, and the amount was not small. Jeok Hudam, who was looking through the classified request records, discovered the name Ho Cheon-an.

[Request for Gaehwaruju Sacheon Ronin information]

[Importance: High – urgent and high compensation amount]

[Information provided by the client: Information and appearance that he had been gambling by going to a gambling house every day for several years.]

[There is no match between the well-known gamblers and their appearances. As a result of the follow-up, it was determined that he was a Sichuan ninja. Refer to [Ronin Information – 132] and find information that [A ronin named Ho Cheon-an goes out to a gambling house every night]. Although there was no exact basis to confirm that it was the same person, we were confident that it was more than 90% positive, given that he had been searching for gambling places for several years. Since this is a payment request, the information has been passed on.]

“I got lucky with this…”

Since Sacheon nangs are also human, there were times when information about the inside of the nangin guesthouse was leaked piecemeal from the outside. It seems that among the pieces of information picked up that way, there was information about Hocheonan.

“It is not meaningful information, but this level is enough for preliminary investigation.”

“Hmm. You are really good at gambling.”

After hearing the story, I felt a chill running down my spine.

It was a truly captivating voice, as if jade beads were rolling around on a tray.

However, if I heard that voice in my ear even though I didn’t feel any presence, anyone would have no choice but to feel a chill down their spine.

This is even more so if it is inside Gongramgak, which is a secretariat among secretaries of information organizations and collects requested information.

‘how?’

Only then did an indefinable fragrant smell gently seep into my nostrils, but rather than being ecstatic, the story behind it left me in a cold sweat.
