29.
Go Hwangsan grabbed the hair of the groveling woman and dragged her outside.
“You think you can live in Jinan after causing trouble for Boss Seol! Even luggage is too good for you! Everything you have, I bought for you, so just disappear like this!”
It was a scene that made one realize anew that the thug world was a place without blood or tears.
The woman who had been struggling not to be dragged out fell backward with a thud.
In Go Hwangsan’s hand was a clump of hair.
“That crazy bitch…!”
It was a situation where one could tell how desperate the woman was.
When Go Hwangsan tried to grab her again, the woman’s target changed to Seol Mujin.
The woman crawled over on her knees and clung to Seol Mujin’s legs.
“Boss! I was wrong! Just once! If you forgive me just once, I will surely repay this kindness someday!”
“How dare you touch Boss Seol’s sacred body!”
Seol Mujin’s body had suddenly become a sacred body.
The back of the woman’s head looked sparse as she bowed and shed tears and snot.
The trace where her hair had been pulled out stirred compassion in Seol Mujin’s heart.
The woman was this desperate because if she was kicked out, her prospects for survival would be bleak.
“Crazy bitch! Let go of those hands right now!”
Seol Mujin raised his hand to stop Go Hwangsan who was approaching.
Go Hwangsan, startled, stopped.
His anxious appearance, worried that trouble might splash onto him, even looked ridiculous.
“If you want forgiveness, you must keep one thing.”
The woman, whose hope had flickered, shouted.
“If you tell me to die, I’ll even pretend to die!”
“Educate your child properly.”
“What?”
“There’s something your child said to my siblings. That’s why he got beaten up.”
“That… that’s right. My brat was wrong!”
“So educate your child properly. If something like this happens even once more…”
Seol Mujin looked at Go Hwangsan and continued.
“It won’t end with just the Hwangsan Gang disappearing.”
Seol Mujin’s warnings never ended as just warnings.
Go Hwangsan nodded.
“I’ll educate the brat properly!”
That fatty was also confirmed to get beaten until dust came out.
Only then did Seol Mujin’s heart soften a little.
“Let’s bury this matter here.”
The woman banged her forehead on the ground repeatedly.
“Thank you! Boss Seol, thank you so much!”
Seol Mujin patted Go Hwangsan’s shoulder as he left.
“Stop by Yeonji-ru once. Go there and look for a woman named Yeon Seobi.”
Go Hwangsan, being quick-witted, immediately understood what that meant.
“Yes! I’ll definitely stop by tonight!”

Yeon Seobi crossed her arms and quietly watched Hwa Seonhwa painting orchids.
Hwa Seonhwa dipped her brush in ink and asked.
“What are you doing?”
“The tip of that orchid seems a bit curved.”
“Orchid tips are naturally a bit curved.”
“It seems more curved than usual. Like Madam’s heart.”
“My heart?”
“It seems like lustful demons are gradually invading.”
Hwa Seonhwa’s brush moved violently.
“Ugh!”
Hwa Seonhwa crumpled up the orchid she was painting and threw it in the trash.
“If you’re going to talk nonsense after eating expensive food, get out.”
“The Magistrate’s gaze when looking at Wolhyang seemed unusual.”
“Men’s gazes are always like that.”
“I saw that same look he had when he first saw Madam.”
“Then there’s nothing to worry about.”
Wolhyang doesn’t seem like she’ll drag things out like Madam.”
“Food eaten in haste causes indigestion.”
“If you starve to death, you can’t eat even if you want to.”
When Hwa Seonhwa glared at her, Yeon Seobi smiled brightly.
“Today is the day the Magistrate comes. Shall we prepare something special?”
Hwa Seonhwa picked up her brush again.
“If you really want to do that.”
Excited, Yeon Seobi left the room and went down to the courtyard when a courtesan came looking for her.
“Sister, someone from a place called Hwangsan Gang is here?”
She had also heard about the children’s fight and received a hint from Seol Mujin that Hwangsan Gang would come today.
Clink! Clink!
She could hear the sound of money coming in.
Especially this time, Hwangsan Gang had touched Seol Mujin’s reverse scale.
Whatever else, Seol Mujin is always serious when it comes to the triplets.
It’s amazing he didn’t immediately destroy Hwangsan Gang.
“Send them to my room.”
After becoming a conduit between Seol Mujin and the Black Society, she even got an office.
Hwa Seonhwa pretended not to know even though she was aware.
Hwa Seonhwa was the person who supported Seol Mujin unconditionally in whatever he did.
While preparing warm tea, a man in his early forties with thread-thin eyes entered.
The man politely bowed to Yeon Seobi who sat across the desk.
“I am Go Hwangsan, Gang Leader of the Hwangsan Gang.”
They had received tribute money from the Hwangsan Gang several times, but this was the first time the Gang Leader had come.
“I heard you were coming to see Captain Seol. Please sit.”
When she pointed to the front seat, Go Hwangsan cautiously perched himself on the edge.
When Yeon Seobi poured tea for him, he even showed the courtesy of slightly bowing his head.
He was thoroughly intimidated.
“I heard your wife got too excited over the children’s fight?”
“That stupid bitch… I’m sorry. My wife made a huge mistake without knowing better.”
“This isn’t something that can be overlooked just because she didn’t know. Honestly, it’s surprising that Captain Seol hasn’t destroyed the Hwangsan Gang yet.”
“What?”
“If anyone touches the triplets’ hair, Captain Seol cuts that bastard’s throat.”
Gulp! As Go Hwangsan swallowed his saliva, Yeon Seobi drove the point home: “I’m absolutely not joking.”
“It seems Gang Leader Go was given a chance, which is quite rare. You need to seize this opportunity well…”
“How could I not know such gratitude?”
Go Hwangsan took out an envelope and a palm-sized box from his chest.
The envelope would naturally contain bank notes, but she was curious about what was in the box made of ebony.
“I came in such haste that I couldn’t fully express all my regret.”
Yeon Seobi skillfully opened the envelope and checked its contents.
A ten thousand nyang bank note.
This was overwhelmingly more money than any tribute they had received so far.
Nevertheless, Yeon Seobi didn’t show a surprised expression.
From the atmosphere, it seemed like she could squeeze out more.
“Long ago, Captain Seol was once taken to the Government Office. Have you heard that story?”
All stories about Seol Mujin were passed down like legends through word of mouth.
“Yes. Vaguely.”
“Do you know how much our Master Ruju brought with her then?”
This was the first time hearing that story.
Yeon Seobi shook the envelope as she spoke.
“Twenty thousand nyang and…”
She inflated the amount a little.
Tap tap tap!
She bent her middle finger and tapped the desk.
“The property deed to Yeonji-ru. How much do you think Yeonji-ru would be worth?”
Yeonji-ru, which had the best business in Jinan, was difficult to even put a price on.
“I don’t know if this will appease Captain Seol’s heart.”
“Please… please look at this too.”
He opened the box thinking, ‘Did he bring a diamond or something?’
But it was a very puzzling-looking ‘something.’
Its shape was circular, but on the outside there were eight sharp thorn-like protrusions attached.
The metal that spiraled from the center and connected to the outside looked like a gemstone, but Yeon Seobi couldn’t identify it with her discernment.
Its overall appearance was like a shining sun.
“What is this?”
“Well… I don’t know.”
“Pardon?”
“I obtained it about fifteen years ago, and since it didn’t seem like an ordinary ornament, I’ve been keeping it as something precious.”
The way it shimmered brilliantly did make it look like a treasure.
“Hmm.”
When Go Hwangsan didn’t see a satisfied expression from Yeon Seobi, he hastily said,
“Today I’m just showing my sincerity. Within three days, I’ll make a proper apology.”
“I’ll try conveying it to Head Seol.”
“Please, I beg you.”
Sometimes it was puzzling to see how much the Black Society thugs feared Seol Mujin.
‘Mujin-i is so kind though.’
***
As dusk began to fall, Seol Ryeoseon, who was watching the sparring between Seol Mujin and Seol Changho, said,
“If big brother went to Murim now, he’d devour the late-stage masters.”
“Just late-stage masters? He’d devour even the decent elders of the Nine Great Sects, wouldn’t he?”
The body movements of the two people sparring were almost invisible.
To reach such a level in just two years.
It was a miraculous talent.
“Does big brother’s internal energy reach about four cycles?”
“It should be about that much, but it’s still not enough.”
The Baekgokju that Seol Mantong made sold much better than expected, and even running the brewery for twelve hours straight couldn’t keep up with demand.
It was the most expensive alcohol in Jinan, but they couldn’t sell enough due to shortage, so the profits were enormous.
Thirty percent of those profits went into Seol Mujin’s stomach.
The person who suffered the most during all this was Yeon Gok.
Running the brewery and making medicine for Seol Mujin.
If he hadn’t promised not to run away, he would have already left Jinan.
Seol Mantong said wistfully,
“If big brother goes out to Murim, the daughters of Murim noble families will follow him around.”
Just then, something dropped into the courtyard with a thud.
Seol Ryeoseon let out a long sigh.
“Again. It’s happening again.”
It was a love letter tied to a stone, and there were already about twenty of them rolling around in the courtyard.
Not only the maidens from nearby, but even those from fifty li away come running to throw love letters like that and flee.
“With your looks, brother, it’s no wonder women go crazy.”
“Ju Gwi, don’t tell me you have feelings for your brother…”
“You crazy bastard! What are you saying!”
Just as Seol Mantong’s back was on fire, the main gate burst open.
“Captain Seol!”
The person who came running in, smashing the lock that had been placed, was Byeon Taebang.
“That bastard, why is he breaking a perfectly good door!”
Seol Mantong was about to take out his anger from Seol Ryeoseon’s beating on Byeon Taebang when he heard the name ‘Hwangbo Family.’
Seol Changho, who had stopped sparring, asked.
“What about the Hwangbo Family?”
“The injured Hwangbo Family Second Son has come looking for Physician Yeon!”
“The Hwangbo Family’s second son was injured? Here in Jinan?”
The rulers of Shandong Province’s Murim are two of the Five Great Families: the Hwangbo Family and the Zhuge Family.
Especially since the Hwangbo Family has established themselves here in Jinan, their influence in Jinan is incomparable to the Zhuge Family.
While there are opposing Evil Sects, it was hard to imagine anyone attacking the Hwangbo Family’s second son in Jinan.
“Who did it?”
“I don’t know that, but his condition seems serious.”
Seol Mantong asked.
“But why did they come here?”
“Physician Yeon asked me to bring Captain Seol. He said he’s anxious.”
Since the Orthodox Sect Hwangbo Family suddenly came looking, Yeon Gok was frightened.
“How does such a coward speak so righteously?”
“It’s almost instinct.”
Seol Ryeoseon and Seol Mantong, who had been bantering back and forth, stood up.
“Let’s go see.”
Seol Changho asked.
“What are you going to do there?”
“I’m curious.”
Seol Mujin, who had wiped his sweat with a towel, also put on his official robes.
“It’s Physician Yeon’s request, so we should help him.”
Whatever Yeon Gok’s status was, Seol Mujin, who had only been receiving help, felt something like a sense of debt.
“Brother, why are you specifically wearing official robes?”
“Because this will be more convenient.”
Yeon Gok’s Clinic had closed early, so there were only four Hwangbo Family warriors in the courtyard.
As they entered, the highly alert warriors grabbed their swords.
“Who are you?”
Seol Mujin spoke indifferently.
“Can’t you tell by looking?”
One of the four warriors stepped forward.
The man in his early thirties with a short beard looked like a well-sharpened blade, perhaps due to his lean build.
“Why has a Government Official come?”
Byeon Taebang said.
“The Physician told me to bring him.”
“Why would the Physician need a Government Official?”
Seol Mujin stepped forward.
“If there are injured people within the jurisdiction, it’s naturally a Government Official’s duty.”
“This is Murim business, so it’s not something for Government Officials to interfere with.”
“That’s for me to judge.”
The warriors blocked Seol Mujin as he tried to enter.
Seol Mujin asked with an incredulous expression.
“You dare to obstruct the Government Office’s official duties?”
“Don’t you know it’s an unwritten rule that the Government Office doesn’t interfere in Murim affairs?”
Their stance suggested they wouldn’t hesitate to use force if necessary.
“I’ve heard that Martial Artists look down on Government Officials, but experiencing it firsthand doesn’t feel good.”
“Your feelings are none of our concern.”
“Really? If you’re people who don’t care about the Government Office, then we don’t need to treat you as citizens. Physician Yeon!”
