‘Do you mean that one of the guests… put in a request for Yeongsangru?’

Ho Cheon-an looked at Sa Chae-yong, who seemed to be in confusion, and said something humorous.

“I’m saying this because it’s over, but it really gave me a headache. It was also a pain in itself for clients who were not even Rouge to ask Yeong Yeong-ru to save him… Another person did not properly accept the request and ran away with a huge amount of money, thinking that he had accepted his request…”

Hocheonan sighed, feeling tired just thinking about it.

“There is a law when it comes to requests from roningaekjan. The broker writes down the request on the request form, consults with the client, confirms all details regarding the request, and sets a price. After that, when the ronin accepts and completes the work, the brokers receive payment for completing the request.”

The audience looked at Noegeomnangin and Sae Chae-yong alternately.

What Noegeomnang-in said was like a complaint, but at the same time it felt like he was speaking to Sa Chae-yong.

“This has become really ambiguous. There was a lot of talk inside the Rongin Gaekjan because of this incident. In the end, we stepped forward, the matter was resolved, and we received money, so what’s the problem? No, if you’re going to receive requests like this, why did you set the rules? If I throw money and run away, will you accept all my requests? But if you return it all, isn’t it a free request? This is also a violation of principle. And so on…”

As Ho Cheon-an sighed and said nothing, someone from the impatient audience asked.

“So what was your conclusion?”

“It started because the brokers were unable to make the right decision because the matter was too big, so we established a new internal rule that requests over a certain amount should be discussed with all members of the royal family. Next, I assumed this was a formal request and set an appropriate request fee. Even so, it was only a small portion of the money the client threw away. So now I had to decide what to do with the remaining money.”

Ho Cheon-an shrugged his shoulders and added.

“Well, there will be a separate statement on this matter at the Rongin Gaekjan, so please resolve any questions you have at that time.”

The crowd thought.

How much money was spent on alternative commission fees so that there was still a long time left over after hiring the entire Sichuan ronin?

Is there anything that can attract people’s attention as much as the direction of a large sum of money?

Everyone at Yeongyangru focused on Ho Cheon-an’s story.

“Anyway, the problem of what to do with the remaining money has become a headache… these guys. You’re not passing all that money on to me, are you? The logic was that since I went to Yeongyangru to gamble and got into trouble, I should take care of it myself.”

“Huh…!”

“So what do you plan to do with that money?”

“Honestly, how can I be so sharp? No matter which choice I made, there was a chance it could be a problem, so… why did I suddenly get angry after complaining like that? No, why do I have to worry so much about Yeongyangru now?”

Everyone swallowed their saliva at Ho Cheon-an’s remarks.

“So, I also came to pass on this trouble to Yeongsangru.”

“…I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Ho Cheon-an said as he put down a thick envelope of documents from his arms.

“This happened because of Yeongsangru, so shouldn’t Ruju also take responsibility for creating this trouble?”

Ho Cheon-an laughed.

“Let’s have a good fight. I’m betting on who will handle this troublesome problem.”

And so began the most bizarre event in the world.

All gambling tables in Yeongyangru stopped. Both gamblers and customers paid attention to one game on the first floor.

“Wow…that’s huge.”

The audience and gamblers burst out in admiration when they saw Ho Cheon-an and Sa Chae-yong’s gambling scene.

This was because there were as many as five jars on top of each other.

Even though it is placed on the floor, its height is well over a person’s height.

“Noegeomnangin’s dexterity is amazing, but it would be difficult to pull out the desired eye in this situation.”

“Yes. No matter how hard the employees work, twists are bound to occur during the process of stacking the jars again, so how can they predict what’s inside the jar? It will be a game of pure luck.”

“I think Rouge has a good chance of winning.”

The audience, who had been making various evaluations, fell silent when Ho Cheon-an took the dice. Ho Cheon-an’s murmur echoed in the momentarily quiet gambling hall.

“Isn’t the original matchmaking a gamble where the stakes are raised through odds or even? However, this game is a bit unreasonable as there is no stake in the single game. A person who becomes a junior cannot throw the dice once and cannot choose even or odd, so they have to just watch and accept the result.”

“I guess so.”

“Wouldn’t that be too much fun? So let’s revise the rules a bit. Each time you go on a journey, you set your sights, and whoever sets those eyes wins. The order in which you select the eyes of the dice changes every turn. How do you feel?”

“I agree.”

“Okay…I’ll bet on 4. Rouge?”

“Then I’ll bet on 2.”

The dice held by Ho Cheon-an were thrown.

Taaang! earth! Follow me! Tadang!

The sound of dice rolling in a jar echoed through the quiet Yeongyangru. The long, cheerful noise disappeared and the monks, who had swallowed dry saliva, cleared away the jars one by one.

Eventually, the last jar was removed and the eyes of the dice were finally revealed.

“Ah….!”

“6 That’s it!”

The jars were stacked again, and this time Sa Chae-yong threw the dice.

earth! Ta-da-dan! Tadang!

The die for private hire came out 1.

“Key! It’s chewy!”

“Isn’t this kind of unpredictable game the beauty of gambling?”

Ho Cheon-an lightly rolled the dice in his hand and looked at Sa Chae-yong. This was because it was Sa Chae-yong’s turn to talk about the eyes of the dice first.

However, Sa Chae-yong asked a question instead of talking about the eyes of the dice.

“Can I ask you one thing?”

“If I can answer, I will.”

“If saving Yeongsangru had been difficult enough to break the rules of the ronin guesthouse, and if the ronin and middlemen had not been greedy for the money, then not saving Yeongsangru would have been the most ideal option for them. .”

Ho Cheon-an came to return the request fee.

Sa Chae-yong judged Ho Cheon-an’s actions that way.

In fact, the current board itself was the equivalent of blindfolding and shouting. Although it was said indirectly that it was a large client who did not follow the regulations, it was anyone’s guess that the client was a private hirer.

Sa Chae-yong, who was convinced that Ho Cheon-an had come to return the money, did not understand Ho Cheon-an’s actions now.

Why are you trying to return the money in this way?

‘If you act like this, your reputation will definitely be damaged…’

Ho Cheon-an’s actions now were bound to be talked about behind the scenes. No matter how ambiguous the money was, putting it on the gambling table was perceived as irresponsible. At the same time, it was an action that could have resulted in Sacheonangin, who must strictly protect the client’s anonymity, being criticized for leaking information that could identify the client.

If the intention was to only receive a set request fee, all you had to do was quietly visit the private recruiter and hand over the money. Why did they do something so complicated and only cause gossip?

“Why did you receive such a troublesome request?”

Sa Chae-yong was unbearably curious about that.

Sa Chae-yong and the crowd waited for Ho Cheon-an’s answer. A strange situation in which people ask why they were asked to save my stoma in a strange situation where they are passing money to each other.

“That was because it was an opportunity to set a precedent that I, as a Sacheonite, could not miss before upholding the principles of Sacheon ronin and ronin guest banquet.”

“…Precedent?”

Sa Chae-yong asked back at the completely unexpected answer.

“It is impossible to drive out all the Sa sects from Sichuan Province.”

“Umm…”

“Hmm…”

From Ho Cheon-an’s mouth, an uncomfortable truth that everyone was ignoring was mentioned.

“There is no way to prevent Sapa from being drawn into the lanterns that light up the night of Sichuan Province. So those lights have no choice but to accept Safa.”

Sa Chae-yong could only nod his head at Ho Cheon-an’s words.

“But must those lanterns simply groan under the exploitation of Sapa?”

Ho Cheon-an asked that.

“Do we have to endure and endure unbearable evil deeds and die like that just because we belong to the darkness of Sichuan Province? The request to save Yeongyangru was our answer to that question.”

The answer is that no matter how many people are buried in the darkness of Sichuan, if they scream at the excessive tyranny of the Sacheon faction, the Sichuan people will not turn a blind eye to their screams.

Through that answer, Ho Cheon-an drew a line.

In the future, the Safa factions that will settle down in the underworld of Sacheon will remember the events of Yeongyangru. To be precise, you will remember the end of Jikjik, whose Danjeon was broken by Noegeomnangin, who appeared at the request of Yeongyangru.

Even if it is a request from those in the underworld, Sichuan people accept requests.

Now that this fact has become clear, the remaining factions will no longer be able to exploit people with such recklessness.

Because I found out that if someone who couldn’t stand it put a request in the ronin guesthouse, the Sacheon ronin would come out.

Unlike political factions where you have to move carefully to secure a cause, I have experienced that you can draw your sword at any time if you receive a request.

Therefore, in order for the warriors of Sapa to survive, they will have to live by keeping good.

Hocheonan drew a boundary line where people could live safely in a dark area where they could never drive out the evil factions.

“Ahh….”

When Sa Chae-yong realized that fact, he just sighed.

Isn’t this the situation where Ho Cheon-an has to accept the money he came to return?

If this money was not received, it would become the basis of a rumor that one would have to sacrifice all one’s assets to receive help from the Sacheon Rangin.

I have received enough grace from Ho Cheon-an to bow my head again and again to express my gratitude, so how can I choose who will be part of that plan?

Therefore, Sa Chae-yong chose to lose.

“…I’ll bet on 6.”

Sa Chae-yong somehow had this thought. Ho Cheon-an’s face hidden behind black lips seems to be smiling.

“Good. I’ll bet on 1.”

Ho Cheon-an threw the dice without hesitation.

Taaang!

Sa Chae-yong had this thought as he watched the dice being sucked into the five-tiered jar that rose high and formed a parabola.

‘There was a record of having his eyes gouged out on a counter to a demon before, but the situation is completely different now.’

Unlike back then, when numerous rounds were played with jars before plucking out the eyes, Ho Cheon-an has only thrown the dice into the opposing dice once.

And the number of jars stacked is five times.

As each edition progresses, a new one will be built up, so there are bound to be subtle differences between each edition.

The possibility of Ho Cheon-an plucking out the eye he wanted was infinitely low.

However, for some reason, Sa Chae-yong was confident that Ho Cheon-an would pull out 1.

That’s why I chose 6, which is located on the opposite side of 1.

The sound of dice falling to the floor rang loudly.

The civil servants quickly moved and removed the jar.

“Ah…!”

“Oh…!”

The die’s eye was 1.

“Whew, now I can finally deal with this troublesome problem.”

Ho Cheon-an picked up the document envelope and handed it to Sa Chae-yong. Sa Chae-yong looked at Ho Cheon-an and politely accepted the document envelope.

“Well, I guess I’ve finished my business, so I’ll go back now.”

Ho Cheon-an turned around without hesitation and said.

“Have a good time. Rouge.”

Everyone was speechless and looked at the back of Ho Cheon-an as he disappeared. The probability of getting the eye you mentioned out of six is 1/6. Even if Ho Cheon-an did not pull out the eye as intended, there was a good chance of getting a 1.

But somehow, the audience who watched the current version felt a strange sense of confidence.

I am convinced that Ho Cheon-an intentionally pulled out the eye number 1.

“Doshin…”

“Doshin.”

Someone in the audience muttered something like that, and Sa Chae-yong… looked at Dosin’s disappearing back and made a fist.

‘Thank you.’

It was a courtesy to a man who showed actions that one could not help but respect.

Sa Chae-yong simply bowed and folded his hands in silence until the new form in Ho Cheon-an completely disappeared.

The day when a new line called order was drawn in the underworld of Sichuan Province.

This happened at Yeongyangru.
