The crowd was split along the tip of Cheong’s outstretched sword.

It was a scene as if a cannonball had been fired from the tip of a sword. It split to the left and right while shouting, creating a line of holes in the previously tight siege room.

It was a straight, narrow road that was clear so that one could see beyond the vacant lot.

And in the middle of it, there seems to be a commotion, and a man jumps out onto the road.

The man stumbles, sees the tip of Cheong’s sword pointed at him, becomes contemplative, and dives back into the crowd.

what? Do you think there is some kind of ray coming out of my sword? But, um. It’s kind of fun.

However, the man was pushed roughly again by the crowd, fell and hit his buttocks violently.

“Me, not me!”

“Don’t be funny! You screamed!”

“I heard it clearly from the side!”

Cheong’s eyes narrowed.

“What is it? You act confidently when you scream, but then you actually turn away?”

“That, that.”

“You keep bickering because you’re the type of person who does something. hmm. Do you know someone?”

Cheong asked the designer.

But the designer just shook his head.

“I don’t know you.”

“They say so. Does anyone know that person?”

Cheong is a person who knows how to ask when he doesn’t know.

And indeed, the power of collective intelligence was great.

“That guy is Jeomsoy from Jeha Banjeom, right?”

“That’s right! I thought I heard a voice!”

Unlike the hometown of the Qing Dynasty, the bond between neighbors is still strong in Jungwon.

And the affection between neighbors is also information, so if you live in any neighborhood for a week, everyone in the village will know about it.

So, thanks to the enthusiastic response, the new identity is quickly revealed.

“Jumso? For some reason, my voice wasn’t normal. Hey, why do you keep picking on me?”

“That’s what I heard clearly!”

Kim In-ji, who was kicked out by Jeomsoy, told her story.

Last winter, when construction was underway, the carpenters from Jangheung Sangbang, who were in charge of the construction, came for a company dinner.

Originally, a get-together involved alcohol, and if the alcohol content exceeded a certain limit, the right and wrong words would come out without distinction.

And, strangely enough, across the Central Plains, the West, and the Qing Dynasty, people had a habit of treating store clerks as background rather than people.

So Jeomsoi heard clearly.

“I said it was a ridiculous design from the beginning! Who in the world builds rivers and embankments like that? There was a bit of a problem with the desk bite, but they were swearing at me because it was a design made by someone who had never experienced anything in the field!?”

“Oing.”

Cheong looked at the designer again.

The designer’s expression distorted.

“What kind of ridiculous design do you mean!? We designed it to be as easy as possible, from full-scale to large-scale building, so that all you have to do is build it, fill it, and stack it! It’s the same in the coffin, so didn’t they choose my design!?”

I don’t know the civil engineering terminology of that part of the Qing Dynasty, and in fact, even if I had knowledge of that part of the world, the terminology in my hometown and the central plains of the Cheong Dynasty are different, so I wouldn’t have understood it anyway.

Jeomsoy is dumbfounded by the designer’s protest.

“Well, I don’t know about that… … Because that’s just what I heard… … ”

“This is a very nasty person. If you shout like that in a situation where a person is dying or alive, is that nothing more than holding a ancestral rite for them to die?”

“But this guy is the reason for this mess.”

“You still don’t know if it’s because of this person, right? If it turns out later, you can hang it or burn it.”

“That’s right… … ”

Jeomsoy averted his gaze.

In fact, in the face of a major disaster, it is natural human nature to look for someone to kill.

It can be said that human history is similar to the history of scapegoats, so it is a defense mechanism to relieve the unsatisfactory injustice by blaming someone else and thus calm the burning inside.

“But Jangheung Commercial?”

“This is the merchant in charge of the dimensioning work.”

The process of flood control work was as follows.

When the government announces flood control work, an application is made at the top and a construction company is selected.

At the same time, we also recruit designs and select the best among them.

After that, the blueprint and construction cost were given to the top selected by the government.

As an aside. The reason why design and construction were collected separately was to prevent corruption.

However, Chinese officials have never been corrupt from the past to the future.

Originally, the design should have been established and given by the person in charge of pipe dimensions.

However, the position of water control manager is a virtually non-existent position in which the salary is siphoned off after being written on the official list under the son or friend of a superior or even a made-up name.

Therefore, a design contest is being held in the name of giving talented people from outside the country a chance to make their names known.

Since it is ‘given’ an opportunity to make one’s name known, of course no design fee is given.

Rather than praising the value of the design, the integrity of the management who adopted the design without receiving kickbacks should be praised.

“Jangheung Commercial. So, if the design was sound, there were problems with the construction.”

“Kuhm.”

“Jangheung Sangbang is a bit.”

“Umm… … .”

For some reason, the crowd’s reaction is lukewarm.

what? why?

I knew there would be calls like we should raise our voices and burn it down right away.

As soon as the name of Jangheung Sangbang was mentioned, the atmosphere calmed down, but then everyone sighed, slumped their shoulders, and slowly began to disperse and disappear.

what? This atmosphere?

As if it were some kind of taboo, like that person whose name cannot be spoken or must not be spoken.

While Cheong was confused as to what was going on, the designer bowed deeply.

“I couldn’t even say hello to my benefactor properly. My name is Yakjungyun, and my child, say hello to your benefactor.”

“This is a weak standard.”

“Hmm. What are you going to do now? It seems dangerous to be in the city.”

“That’s true, but the roads are a mess and the times are chaotic, so it’s not like we can’t go anywhere.”

After a disaster, robbers and thieves are rampant.

Even though the city is dangerous, it will be better than the current Guando.

“Hmm. I’m on my way to Naknyeong Military Academy right now, um. I would like to ask if you can protect me for a while.”

“I didn’t know how words such as gratitude and gratitude could be such insufficient expressions.”

“Um.”

Cheong looked embarrassed.

Words are protection, but they are also surveillance.

Since the design is still intact, there is no guarantee that there will be no problems.

If you are innocent, you will be protected, but if you find out later that there was a problem with the design, you will be imprisoned.

Just like that, the crowd of Eoyeongbuyeong dispersed and Yakjungyun willingly stepped forward to drive the carriage, leaving Cheongdo’s horse’s back, which was slowly starting to become friendly, behind and got into the carriage.

I tried to climb.

“Lady! Preface Miss! See you here!”

“Oh? That.”

Cheong tilted his head.

Someone greeted me very warmly and made a fuss, um, who was it?

I felt like I had seen his face somewhere before, so it wasn’t unfamiliar at all, but he was someone I didn’t know very well, so I couldn’t tell who he was.

“Who are you? Do you know someone?”

Cheong looked at the man closely.

Looking at the thick calluses and scars on the backs of his hands, I think Banpun, commonly known as a martial artist, is a martial artist.

weird.

I have never treated a martial artist other than a Shaolin monk before.

ah. There were ronins, indeed. But you’re not a ronin man, are you?

The man trembled at that.

“A lowly person is called Geoltaran. I’ve only seen her a few times at the Lunar New Year’s Association, so of course you don’t know her, but when I saw her, my heart raced and I was so moved that I ended up making such a fuss. Hehe.”

“Ah. Are you a merchant? What’s going on here? What, has Seolgasanghoe advanced this far?”

“Please, speak less. And Soin is the head of the Naknyeong branch of Taechung Sangbang.”

“eng. Have you changed jobs?”

“You can think of it as an alliance or brotherhood. hmm. That’s right. To put it bluntly, ”

Gultaran made a circle with his thumb and index finger and continued speaking.

“I would say Jeonju is the same.”

“Ah. Jeonju.”

Cheong understood immediately.

This meant that both Seolga Sanghoe and Taechung Sangbang had the same person who had invested money and had a large stake, or the parent company.

What Cheong doesn’t know is Jeonju’s identity.

Jeonju is the Church of the Heavenly Demon.

So, when a special agent belonging to the Demonic Cult’s Bijak Department (formerly Special Agent, the title of the position has been changed) saw Cheong, the emotion was beyond that.

Even when Cheong suppressed the crowd with a single kick, the immense majesty he felt there.

One hundred times holding back tears of joy.

It was 500 times more intense fighting spirit.

“Hehe, please speak lower.”

“No, how is that? I am not related to any merchant.”

“That’s not it. When Lord Choi meets you, he firmly tells you to treat her as an adult.”

“Choi Ark? Grandfather?”

“Yes, you received investment from Jeonju and opened a new business. So, you become a funny person to me too.”

“Hmm. Is that so?”

hmm. Grandpa. He has good skills too.

If it’s Grandpa’s upper room, eh.

Cheong asked just in case.

“By any chance, the name is Taecheong Sangbang… … ”

“Hehe. Of course, it was taken from the name of the young lady.”

“No, why are you using someone else’s name so carelessly?”

No, it would be a burden.

But my grandfather is a great person who would do that again.

But, if it’s Grandpa’s superior, wouldn’t it be okay for me to take care of him a little?

“It went well. The city is like this, so I’m trying to provide some relief… … ”

“How on earth can you be so merciful? As beautiful as you are, you also have a kind heart.”

“Hmm. I have some gold. How much help can 40 crowns be?”

“Please tone it down a bit… … ”

“Uh. Yes.”

It’s a bit awkward to speak softly to an adult you don’t know.

However, Gultaran seemed satisfied.

“You mean gold. However, since we are already preparing relief, there is no need to share your precious property.”

“Oh. Are you preparing for salvation?”

“Please speak comfortably… … ”

“Already preparing for relief?”

“Yes. What good is business when the city is in trouble? First of all, it is something that people have to live with.”

That said, the purpose of Taechung Sangbang in the first place was to provide relief.

This is a dirty trick by the Church of the Heavenly Demon to capture the hearts of the people through charity and penetrate into the central plains!

Just when the flood was invading the Hanam area, the flood occurred.

Thanks to this, Gultaran hummed a song when he saw the city that was wiped out overnight.

I thought that heaven would bless Shingyo and give us such a great opportunity.

“Hmm. You’re doing a good job. No, I do.”

Cheong, unaware of the circumstances, said so.

But even if I had known the circumstances, I would have said the same thing.

I didn’t intentionally cause the flood, but even if the purpose was a bit impure, isn’t relief still a relief?

“Hehe. Could you please praise me a little more?”

“Uh. Great? Excellent?”

“Big black.”

Suddenly, Geultaran’s eyes turn red.

Wasn’t it enough to be praised by facing the descending Heavenly Demon?

Since they are non-farming agents who see the reality of the outside world with their own eyes and experience it with their own bodies through external activities, they are Cheonmabaragi who have been thoroughly brainwashed from midgets to midgets.

Oh, Lord of the Heavenly Demon.

My light, my salvation, the reason for my life.

Cheong that doesn’t know the circumstances is just a bit bitter.

hmm. Is this something to be so thrilled about?

Aren’t you a bit of a strange person?

Taechung Sangbang, is this okay?

It’s a shame to go bankrupt under someone else’s name.

“Still, the more good things you add, the better. I already entrusted you with some gold, but I was worried that it would leak out, but it turned out well.”

I already need to do some alms, but all I have is gold bars and I don’t know what to do.

I was heading to the Naknyeong Military Office thinking that if I left it to the military officer of the political faction and sold my name, I might use it faithfully.

However, if it’s Grandpa’s top, you can trust it and entrust it to you.
