The crowd in the hall gulped at that.

    Isn’t it said that it is a terrible sin that is even unspeakable?

    I wonder who on earth has committed such a serious sin that it takes so long to start.

    “Have you ever heard of a major disaster due to floods in Naknyeong? Last night, a large amount of water hit the castle all at once, shattering the gate. As a result, more than 2,000 people died on the ground, and more than 1,000 people disappeared without even being able to find their bodies. A total of more than 3,000 lives disappeared in one night.”

    Since the disaster that occurred in Henan Province was someone else’s business, the people of Shaanxi Province just thought it was a pity and took another look at our embankments.

    However, the sound of 3,000 people dying was also terrifying, which is why it was not a stranger’s disaster that anyone would be surprised to encounter if it were a flood in the central plains.

    “The reason why there was such great damage was because the newly built Gangeon that was completed that winter exploded. If the city had just been left to flow, the city would have been slightly submerged, but they had to block the waterway and let it flow all at once. However, this sermon was originally a favor from the emperor that should not have been revealed, but when the sermon was unleashed, three thousand lives were lost.”

    At Cheong’s last words, the son-in-law suddenly became quiet, and you could almost hear everyone’s blood draining.

    Because he made a strong statement for no reason, because he carried out a useless flood control project, which caused four months of trouble, and because it was said to be the fault of the emperor who ordered the construction.

    This is truly the sound of a traitor.

    I can’t listen to this anymore.

    It was a time when people were hurriedly looking for a way out.

    Cheong skillfully corrected his mistake.

    “Of course, the solemn Emperor simply ordered the construction out of a parental heart for the people, and that grace is engraved in our bones and will never be forgotten. And wouldn’t it be right for all of us to raise our voices and shout hurray and express our gratitude to the Emperor for his obedience and care.”

    Phew. I don’t think this is a call to retaliate against the enemy.

    A sigh of relief burst out all at once, and the low sound was so loud that it enveloped my son-in-law like a typhoon.

    “But the strong words broke out. More than 3,000 people lost their lives, many more lost their families, and even more lost their homes. However, there was another reason why the strong words given by the Emperor exploded. That’s right.”

    Cheong hung up here, looked around, and made eye contact.

    The answers come back with a gulping look that says they are listening well.

    After taking a long time, Cheong finally utters these words.

    “Because it caused Gang-eon to collapse and explode from the beginning! Even less than half of the materials that were supposed to be used were used, that’s right! Even halving! Since I didn’t even put in half a piece, it couldn’t withstand the heavy rain! The lives of those three thousand people, just to get gold and silver for himself! To make money! There is a group that deliberately set it up to explode!”

    “Heoup.”

    “Who made a strong statement on purpose!?”

    “Who in the world would do something so outrageous!”

    “He made a bold statement to make money!”

    There were people here and there who were particularly loud in their indignation.

    Although the Qing did not know, they were wind catchers who voluntarily came forward without anyone telling them to do so because our precious Heavenly Majesty was speaking.

    “So, who is that!?”

    “The flood control work for the drop was carried out by Jangheung Commercial, a company that many of you are familiar with.”

    The crowd was shocked again.

    Jangheung Sangbang is Shaomseo Best Sangbang, literally the best merchant in Shaanxi. Jangheung means praying for the prosperity of Jangan.

    In other words, it is one of the prides of the people of Jangan.

    “No, that’s ridiculous!”

    “There is a gift certificate!?”

    People’s voices rise.

    After waiting for a while for Cheong to talk to him to his heart’s content, he began to pout his pretty lips only after his attention was drawn again.

    “The people here are the witnesses. By any chance, are there any people from Chuga Mokbang? This is Yeom Han-su, the master carpenter of Chuga Mokbang.”

    One of those standing on the podium stands next to Cheong.

    However, he had been beaten so badly that his face had swelled to twice its size and was unrecognizable.

    Of course, the real Yeom Hansu was struck by the assassin’s sword. Unfortunately, his family died together, but since it is clear that there is a difference in bad karma, it is not known whether it is possible to reunite in the afterlife.

    Anyway, thanks to that, even if Salmak Salsu impersonates him, there is no one who can sensitively question whether he is real or not.

    “I am Yeom Han-su, Jang Moksu of Chuga Mokbang! I received orders from Jangheung Commercial and reduced the materials used in the design by half! The construction was done by replacing the soil with sand and the plaster with gravel! This was to replace the original material with a much cheaper one!”

    At that, a loud murmur arose in the audience.

    Chuga Mokbang is a Mokbang that is well-known even in Seoan, and even in such a Mokbang, there are only three or four master carpenters, which is why there are more than one person who has heard the name of Jang Moksu Yeom Han-su.

    This is a bold accusation made in broad daylight.

    It is a blind spot that no one would think of using a double to commit fraud.

    It’s hard to recognize him because his face is swollen, but all I can say is that he was beaten because he did something that deserved to be treated, and he’s a real bastard.

    It was then.

    A sharp cry claws at the audience.

    “That can’t be possible! That guy is not a bad guy! It’s fake!”

    Another roar.

    hmm. No way, I thought. There’s someone who recognizes me.

    Cheong took a deep breath.

    “Who are you just now? Who said Mr. Jang Mok-su and Yeom were fake? Instead of hiding, could you come here and speak confidently?”

    “ is sleeping!”

    “This guy did it!”

    Due to the primitive play culture of the central plains, it is not the people of the central plains who will miss such an exciting match.

    The person who immediately shouted is pushed around and pops out in front of the audience.

    He looks embarrassed, but then mumbles, clears his throat, and takes a deep breath.

    And just when I was about to say something-

    Sigh!

    The instep of Cheong’s foot, which flew just above the ground, gave an exciting kick to the side of the man’s calf.

    Cheong had to struggle not to laugh as the clean, snapping feel of a bone breaking ran up the top of his foot.

    If someone kicks and laughs in front of the audience, it’s a bit too much for someone to make an accusation.

    I grabbed the collar of the man whose face was collapsing and jerked from side to side! He spread his arms boldly, and who would have the courage to throw away a piece of clothing in front of the treasonous power of a female enemy?

    Cheong, who changed the man into a shirtless man in an instant, jumped up and returned to the stage.

    “Everyone! Do you see this tattoo here? These two letters, Ishim, are the letters that assassins called Salmak, cannibals who make a living by killing people, carve on their bodies!”

    His face had swelled to twice its size and no one could recognize whether it was Yeom Han-soo himself or not.

    But it can’t be like that? Is it fake?

    Even in the family that was brought in by mistake and then left on good terms, is there someone who can immediately sense a state of affairs that would not have been recognized at a glance if they were here?

    Unless you are the one who killed the real person or the person related to him, how can you know whether Yeom Han-soo, who disappeared after drinking, is dead or fake?

    I was wondering if I would get caught for being so stupid, but that happened here.

    “Everyone! Did you know that there was a string portrait at Jang Mok-su’s house recently? This is because Jangheung Sangbang sent assassins to the carpenters who participated in the construction to cover up their crimes! If any of you work as a carpenter, you will know that all the famous carpenters have recently died or disappeared!”

    Hearing again.

    There were a few people who actually worked as carpenters who had settled down among them, so they were so excited that a story they knew had come out and raised their voices.

    that’s right! That’s right! Carpenter Wang, Carpenter Kang, and Carpenter Jang both had portraits! I heard there was an uproar in Jowang Mokbang that they had to close down the business because they had two carpenters!

    Of course, for such a reason, the proportion of carpenters was quite high, because passionate believers who possessed carpenters with their faith were working hard to catch the wind.

    “The people who are laughing their heads off here are all flesh-eating man-eaters! Everyone has a tattoo of ‘Ishim’ under their left breast, so this is the proof!”

    Some people may be so foolish as to ask, “Who can afford me?” and get a tattoo, but in reality, criminal organizations like this are the ones who get tattoos to make their affiliations clear.

    In the primitive, ancient and barbarian central plains, there is only one type of person who gets tattoos.

    criminal.

    Criminals who have already been caught are given a large tattoo in a place where anyone can see it, making it a brand that everyone in the world can recognize.

    Criminals who have not yet been caught get tattoos to prevent betrayal and foster a sense of belonging.

    If someone betrays you and leaves, all you have to do is spread the word around the neighborhood.

    I heard that there was someone in a certain neighborhood who actually had a criminal background. I heard there is a tattoo somewhere so you can see it.

    So once you get a tattoo, you basically can’t escape the criminal organization.

    This is why when these assholes get together, the first thing they do is decide on a name and then a tattoo.

    This is also the reason why the perception of tattoos is low and despised, regardless of whether it is in the East or the West.

    The use of tattoos for magical purposes was something that only ancient primitive people did, and after humans established the foundation of society, tattoos were in fact nothing more than a stigma.

    “My name is Chojunam, the Salsu of Salmak. He was living in Ogami Valley disguised as a rice seller, and in fact, he had received more than fifty requests so far through Salmak’s personal service.”

    Cheong slapped Salsu on the back of his head and made a threat.

    “What is a request? Are you not speaking properly?”

    “He murdered more than fifty people in exchange for money! This time, I killed Wang Jung-sam, a carpenter who had been mobilized for flood control work at the request of Jangheung Commercial!”

    Next, the fingerless, sometimes even wrist-less assassins took turns revealing their names, disguised identities, and the name of the dead Jang Mok-su.

    Cheong keeps his promise.

    These are the people who will live at the price of false testimony.

    However, it is unclear how long the people who destroyed their right hand and betrayed their own organization will survive.

    But there is no need to take responsibility for that as well.

    If you want to live, you will live, but if you are unlucky, you may die or whatever, that’s none of my business.

    By this point, the situation seemed clear.

    Jangheung Sangbang stole half of the materials from the flood control project, resulting in a huge number of deaths.

    Jangheung Merchant, concerned that this crime would be discovered, sent assassins to Jang Carpenters.

    This is despite the fact that those jang carpenters have been working with Jangheung Sangbang for a long time.

    It was truly an accusation of a heinous crime.

    “Everyone, now I would like to go to Jangheung Commercial and ask whose plan this ugly sin was and how they will pay for it! I hope you all can watch the results of this ugly, ugly crime together!”

    And then Cheong jumped off the stage gracefully.

    Then, as he walked forward, the crowd slowly retreated and the path slowly opened up for Cheong to go.

    The employees of Seolgasanghoe each picked up the traitors in the tent and followed them very proudly, with their noses upturned and the expressions of the proudest people in the world on their faces.

    Of course, the agents of the Church of the Heavenly Demon, who were only trying to get wind of him because he was a criminal who dared not appear in front of the government, looked at him as if they were the most envious person in the world.

    And so, the Bijakbu agents followed behind the Qing, and the entire crowd of Jangan Street marched together, filling the wide street behind them.

    Cheong stood in the lead, took a look at Seoliri, who was guarding his side, and took a deep breath.

    And while looking at the old man guarding the other side, he secretly asked.

    “Grandpa, but is this the right way to Jangheung Commercial? When I think about it, I don’t know the way.”
