109.

Gwak Jongoh drew the sword from his back and pointed it at The Man.

“Name your price or die.”

“My, my lord… Why are you doing this? We’re just powerless common people.”

A bloody smile crept across Gwak Jongoh’s lips.

“That’s exactly why I’m doing this. Because you’re powerless common people. Hehehe…”

***

Seol Mantong threw a peeled peanut into his mouth and said.

“It’s nice to be back in Wuhan.”

“Brother, let’s go eat at that couple’s restaurant from last time.”

“Are they still there? Maybe they went to Jinan.”

Seol Changho said.

“You think they actually went just because we told them to? Moving isn’t easy.”

When they arrived at the restaurant, the owner had changed.

“They said they were going to Jinan? Packed up and left yesterday, I think.”

He regretted thinking ‘We should have come sooner’ because the food tasted absolutely terrible.

“That place will go out of business soon.”

After leaving their harsh words, their steps headed toward the Government Office.

Since they needed to go to Xuanzhou, Hubei Province, they could have just passed through Wuhan, but since Seol Mujin had done work here, they wanted to check how things were going.

Fortunately, the Pokwae guarding the Government Office main gate recognized who Seol Mujin was.

“Eek! Com, com, com, Commander!”

The Pokwae who called out to Seol Mujin as if gasping for breath prostrated himself on the ground.

“Has the new Magistrate arrived?”

“No, no one has been dispatched yet!”

Well, it was still too early for a new Magistrate to arrive.

“What about Jo Cheongkwan?”

After all, hearing the Government Office news from Jo Cheongkwan would be the fastest and most accurate.

“I’ll call him right away!”

Seol Mujin didn’t bother entering the Government Office.

He planned to hear the Wuhan news from Jo Cheongkwan, resolve any issues that needed resolving, then leave.

The Triplets asked why he bothered with such things, but if the people’s lives hadn’t improved after he removed the corrupt officials, then what he had done would be meaningless.

The wait wasn’t long before Jo Cheongkwan came running breathlessly and prostrated himself before Seol Mujin.

“I greet the Commander!”

“Skip the formalities. Nothing unusual happening?”

He waited to hear that there wasn’t, but Jo Cheongkwan’s answer didn’t come.

“Why? Is something wrong?”

“Well, that is…”

“What is it?”

“The, the couple who ran the restaurant. Com, Commander…”

An uneasy feeling washed over him.

“What about that couple?”

“Well, that is…”

Seol Mujin grabbed Jo Cheongkwan by the collar and lifted him up.

“What happened to the couple?”

“Urgh! They, they’re dead.”

Strength involuntarily entered his hands and Jo Cheongkwan’s face turned white.

If the Triplets hadn’t stopped him, Jo Cheongkwan might have suffocated to death.

“Why are the couple dead?”

***

The husband Yang Seongwu had been stabbed six times with a sword, and the wife Gil Seongsim had been strangled to death.

Signs of beating were also visible.

The sharp pebbles embedded in Gil Seongsim’s bare back gave a hint of what situation she was killed in.

“Merchants who happened to be crossing the pass said they saw two people fleeing on horseback. And this is…”

What Jo Cheongkwan carefully presented was an Identification Badge.

“It was found dropped near the husband Yang Seongwu.”

The Identification Badge made of high-quality Birch Wood was shiny, having been made not long ago.

—Sixth Rank White Tiger Gwak Jongoh.

“It seems Yang Seongwu dropped it while struggling with the culprit.”

That must be it.

He must have fought with his whole body to protect his wife from being violated, got beaten and stabbed with a sword.

The rage that slowly filled Seol Mujin’s body rose to the top of his head and turned red.

The rising anger became so vivid in color that it could never be erased.

“His duty station is the Provincial Command Headquarters located in Xuanzhou, Hubei Province.”

The Identification Badge kindly indicated even his duty station.

Jo Cheongkwan said in a crawling voice.

“Since it’s the military, there was nothing we could do.”

“I would have been disappointed if you had done something.”

“What do you mean by that…”

“Because this bastard needs to die the most painful death in the world. You said merchants saw the culprit?”

“Yes? Yes! I have their addresses, so I’ll call them right away!”

Seol Mujin stopped Jo Cheongkwan who was about to leave the room.

“No need to call them.”

“Pardon?”

“I know who the culprit is, so why call them.”

“But to catch the culprit, don’t we need witnesses? We have to hold a trial too…”

“The witness is right here.”

“Who…”

Seol Mujin pointed at Jo Cheongkwan with his chin.

“Me?”

“From now on, you’re a merchant.”

“You’re trying to create a false witness?”

“Don’t you want to?”

From Seol Mujin’s gleaming eyes, it seemed like his head would fly off if he said no.

“I’m a merchant! I’ve been a merchant since birth!”

“Follow me.”

The next place Seol Mujin headed to was Bang Goyang’s Inn.

Bang Goyang happened to be clicking his abacus beads at the inn.

Bang Goyang, startled upon seeing Seol Mujin, carefully asked.

“What brings you all the way here…?”

“I need the structural diagram of the Hubei Provincial Command Headquarters.”

“The Provincial Command Headquarters is military, isn’t it? How could I possibly have a structural diagram of the military…”

“But you have it, don’t you?”

This was Bang Goyang who even had blueprints of Seolun Jangwon, which might be completely useless.

But you don’t have the structural blueprints of Hubei Provincial Command Headquarters?

Seol Mujin spat out a voice dragged up from deep within his belly.

“Lying to me right now isn’t such a good idea.”

Bang Goyang’s wavering eyes briefly rested on Jo Cheongkwan standing behind Seol Mujin.

Not missing that moment, Jo Cheongkwan nodded his head.

He didn’t know who Bang Goyang was, but he didn’t want to see a corpse in this place.

Obviously, cleaning it up would be his job.

“Of, of course I have them. Yes, I certainly do. Hahaha!”

Bang Goyang went inside and brought out four rolled-up scrolls.

Hurriedly connecting three tables together, Bang Goyang laid out the four sheets of the headquarters’ structural blueprints.

“They’re a bit old, so I don’t know if it still looks like this, but it probably hasn’t changed much.”

Seol Mujin muttered while looking at the blueprints.

“The main gates are the south and north gates, and there are side gates on the east and west. The surroundings are enclosed by walls this high.”

“I heard they raised it by three ja now. That’s what I heard. What I heard.”

“Elder Bang has been there, I see.”

“Wh, what business would I have going to Hubei Provincial Command Headquarters… I did go.”

This damn mouth is his enemy.

Seol Mujin muttered again.

“Since I’ll be going from the south, the city wall is too high for escaping, so it’ll be the north gate and the east-west side gates.”

Seol Mujin, who had been thinking about something, said to Bang Goyang.

“Just make six Geumeuiwi guard uniforms.”

“Ge, Geumeuiwi guards?”

“Make them convincing.”

“Convincing means they’re not real. You know that impersonating Geumeuiwi guards means you won’t die peacefully, right?”

Jo Cheongkwan behind Seol Mujin pointed at Seol Mujin and mouthed ‘Deputy Commander! Deputy Commander!’

But Bang Goyang couldn’t properly make out the first character.

“Im, impersonating what?”

When Seol Mujin glanced back, Jo Cheongkwan, who had been pointing, stretched.

Crack!【/</p】

Good thing. It even made a sound.

“I’ve been overworking lately, so my body feels really stiff…”

Seol Mujin cut off Jo Cheongkwan’s words.

“You can get about five disciples from the Beggar’s Sect who know some martial arts, right?”

“What? Why suddenly Beggar’s Sect disciples?”

“To make them into Geumeuiwi.”

Bang Goyang couldn’t understand at all what Seol Mujin was trying to do.

“Prepare them within one hour.”

Because of Seol Mujin’s aura that had sunk like the deep sea, he first said he understood and came out.

Jo Cheongkwan, who followed Bang Goyang out, told him about the situation.

“These damn bastards to be torn apart! How could they wear masks and commit such outrageous acts!”

“Exactly. That’s why Lord Seol is thoroughly angry right now. Right now, it’s best to just do as he says. If you upset his temper, then just!”

Jo Cheongkwan made a gesture of slashing his own throat with his hand.

“If it’s such a matter, of course I should help.”

Bang Goyang, who was about to turn around, asked.

“But who are you…?”

“Then who are you, old man…?”

***

Gwak Jongoh, who had unexpectedly killed the couple, came back without even stopping by a pleasure house in Wuhan.

“Damn! I should have at least tasted the pleasure of Wuhan courtesans!”

Hwang Jungbaek said.

“Those merchants saw us, will it be alright?”

“Those guys only saw our backs! And so what if they saw! Do they know who I am! And so what if they know! What can those lowly things do!”

At Gwak Jongoh’s inhuman appearance, Hwang Jungbaek slowly clenched his fist.

Thwack!

The stick he picked up while fleeing hit his head again.

“Don’t talk nonsense and hurry up and go tell them I’ve arrived!”

At the end of the main street lay high and long city walls.

“Young master, you also lost your identification badge, so your identity…, ugh!”

“You bastard! Just call father! Father!”

Hwang Jungbaek thought as he ran toward the castle.

‘Damn, does divine punishment really exist?’

***

Seol Mujin and the triplets, Jo Cheongkwan, and Bang Goyang along with five Beggar’s Sect disciples arrived at Seondo County.

The Beggar’s Sect disciples who heard the circumstances gladly agreed to become fake Geumeuiwi guards.

“Let’s go to an inn first.”

At Seol Mujin’s words, Seol Ryeoseon asked.

“It’s still far from sunset, why the inn?”

“You guys need to stay.”

“You want us to stay here?”

“If you come along, the picture looks strange.”

Geumeuiwi guards traveling with three children.

“We can just move secretly.”

At Seol Mantong’s words, Seol Mujin shook his head.

“We’ll be inside the headquarters for several days, would it be easy to avoid the soldiers’ eyes for several days? It would be convenient to travel together when you become adults.”

Seol Mantong snapped his fingers.

“We can just become adults!”

“What do you mean…?”

Seol Ryeoseon also nodded with an “Ah!”

“We just need wood carving and clothes! We’ll have to make the arms a bit longer though.”

Seol Changho shook his head back and forth.

“What about the face?”

“Wouldn’t it work if we attach some beards?”

“Would that work?”

Seol Mujin said.

“It would be good if you could use disguise arts.”

Seol Ryeoseon asked.

“How do you know disguise arts, brother?”

“I learned from Miss Hwa.”

Seol Mujin showed the triplets the disguise arts he had practiced for several days.

“Wow! Brother, you’re amazing! Teach us too!”

“Come to think of it, why didn’t we think of learning disguise arts all this time?”

“Hyung! Hurry and teach us!”

Seol Mujin taught the triplets disguise arts as he had learned from Hwa Yeonshim.

Though Hwa Yeonshim had admired Seol Mujin as a genius, that was indeed just something nice to say.

The triplets also quickly grasped the principles of disguise arts.

“You need to puff up your face more. That way you’ll look like adults.”

“That just looks like a steamed bun?”

“Puhaha! You’re going to burst!”

Anyway, the Triplets completed the Disguise Arts to some degree in two hours, just like Seol Mujin.

While the Triplets were learning the Disguise Arts, Seol Mujin went to the woodworking shop to make wooden carvings and wooden tablets for the Triplets to use, and also bought clothes.

Fake arms and fake legs, faces puffed up to the fullest with Disguise Arts.

It was strange.

Looking a bit more, it was even grotesque.

But at least they didn’t look like seven-year-old children.

That was enough.

“We’re not going to play around. We have to catch that bastard who killed the kind couple and make him die in the most painful way.”

The disguised faces of the Triplets were also filled with determination.

The fact that they would never again eat the delicious food of that couple fueled their anger.

The other people who saw the Triplets were startled.

With wrinkles on their faces and even beards attached, they looked not just fierce but downright hideous.

“Who are these people…?”

To Jo Cheongkwan’s question, Seol Mujin gave a short answer: “You don’t need to know.”

“Then your younger brothers are…?”

“You don’t need to know that either.”

No one would think that the three hideously-looking men were the Triplets.

To that extent, the Disguise Arts were perfect(?).
