Legend of the Evil Martial God

Chapter 107

 

 

 

The Magistrate sat on the Central High Seat of the Government Office, looking down and alternately gazing at the Elder and his Granddaughter, then at Im Baekmun.

Anyone could see that the Elder and Granddaughter were the victims.

Im Baekmun was a famous debauchee, and there were more than one or two women who had suffered terrible things because of him.

Because of this, such lawsuits were frequent.

Each time, he had sided with Im Baekmun, but now he was tired of this act.

However, that didn’t mean he could refuse to side with him.

Wasn’t he the son-in-law of that terrifying Governor?

If he made a wrong move, his own head could fly off, so he had to be careful.

Though he felt sorry for the grandfather and granddaughter who were wrongfully suffering, he had to survive first, so there was nothing he could do.

 

“Ahem! Then I shall begin the lawsuit. Im Baekmun, please state your case first.”

“Sigh. Magistrate. Where else in the world could there be such an injustice? I was trying to go home when that girl seduced me first. She said the road home was scary and asked if I wouldn’t go with her. Being a man, I naturally granted her request.”

“Y-you bastard! What are you saying! Do you not even fear Heaven!”

 

When the Elder shouted in anger at Im Baekmun’s words, the Magistrate frowned and spoke.

 

“Hey! Quiet! I haven’t even given you a chance to speak yet!”

“I-I’m sorry, sir. That man was saying such nonsensical things…”

“Whether it makes sense or not is for me to judge. This is a warning. If you interrupt one more time, I won’t let it slide.”

“Yes, sir. I’m sorry.”

 

The Elder bowed his head deeply and begged for forgiveness.

 

“Im Baekmun, please continue.”

“Hmm! I’ll continue.”

Im Baekmun glared once at the Elder and Granddaughter before continuing his words.

“Anyway, I escorted her to her house, but suddenly she said she was scared to be alone and asked me to stay with her until her Grandfather came home. So I said I had to go home and tried to leave, but oh my! She grabbed my leg and wouldn’t let go!”

 

At Im Baekmun’s shameless story, the Elder trembled with rage, and the Granddaughter was shedding tears with her head bowed in shame.

 

“What could I do? I had to calm her down first before going home, didn’t I? So I entered the room. Then suddenly she started taking off her clothes. I tried to avoid her, but she said she would die if I left like this and began harming herself. Look at that face over there. Those are all traces of self-harm.”

 

When people’s gazes focused on the Granddaughter, the Elder shielded her with his body.

 

“Look at that. Since she’s not innocent, isn’t she hiding? What could I do in that situation? I had to save a person’s life first, didn’t I? So I sacrificed myself to comfort her. Magistrate, I am truly wronged. To do such a good deed in this world and then be falsely accused – I truly feel like dying.”

“Do you have anyone who can prove your words?”

“I have witnesses.”

 

Then people came forward in a rush.

 

“I saw it.”

“I saw it too.”

“I saw with my own two eyes that girl seducing him first.”

 

People competing with each other, claiming they all saw it.

The Magistrate asked the Elder.

 

“Make your counterargument.”

“This child would never do such a thing. She’s a child who has never even held a man’s hand until now. How could such a child seduce a strange man? Even at the Inn, when that bastard was bothering her, she was so scared she hid behind me.”

“That’s all just your testimony, isn’t it? Let the person involved speak too. If there are any errors in Im Baekmun’s words, refute them.”

 

The Granddaughter remained silent.

 

“This child has developed muteness from shock. Let me refute on her behalf…”

“Enough. The other side has clear situation explanations and so many witnesses. Do you have witnesses?”

“Yes! The Regular Customers of the Inn saw it clearly. Th-they’re over there.”

 

In the direction the Elder pointed, several men were standing around.

 

“Are you men Regular Customers of the Inn that Elder runs?”

“That’s correct.”

 

At the Regular Customers’ answer, the Elder’s expression brightened.

 

“Then did you see Im Baekmun harassing that Girl?”

“We did not see it.”

“We were drinking Alcohol and didn’t pay attention to other things.”

 

At the Regular Customers’ answer, the Elder shouted with a shocked expression.

 

“Y-you fellows! What are you saying! Didn’t you tell me that my Granddaughter was being harassed!”

 

At the Elder’s words, the Magistrate asked with a frightening expression.

 

“Is what he says true? If it is, I will charge you with the crime of insulting me with false testimony.”

 

The men waved their hands frantically and said.

 

“N-no! Really! We didn’t see anything!”

“Wh-when we left, I think we might have seen that girl seducing him.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes.”

“I understand.”

 

The Magistrate’s gaze turned forward.

 

“Even the opposing side’s witnesses say Im Baekmun is not guilty, so there’s no clearer evidence than this. Therefore, I declare that Im Baekmun has no crime whatsoever. Furthermore, I cannot forgive these two people who falsely accused the innocent Im Baekmun.”

“S-sir! N-no! It’s really not true! This is unjust!”

“Shut up! Do you plan to mock me until the end! Guards! Tie that man to the Torture Rack!”

“Yes!”

 

Soldiers forcibly dragged the Elder away and tied him to the Torture Rack.

Then the Granddaughter, who had been standing dazed, grabbed the Soldiers’ arms.

 

“Uh-uh-uh! Uh-uh! Uh-uh-uh-uh!”

 

Unable to speak properly due to her speech impediment, she desperately tried to pull her grandfather away from the soldiers.

The magistrate spoke with an angry face.

 

“Interfering with official duties. You insolent thing! Tie that one up too!”

 

When even his granddaughter was captured and dragged to the torture rack, the elder cried out in a blood-coughing voice.

 

“My lord! That child is innocent! My lord!”

“Silence! You people have not only seduced and slandered innocent good people, but also opened false litigation to hide your crimes. Therefore, according to the law, you are sentenced to thirty lashes!”

“M-my lord! That child is truly innocent! My lord!”

“What are you doing! Executioner, pick up the beating stick and strike immediately!”

“Yes!”

“I would like to sentence you to severe punishment, but since Lord Im Baekmun wishes for leniency, consider yourself fortunate that it ends with thirty lashes. Think of him as your benefactor.”

 

In the elder’s eyes, he could see Im Baekmun looking at him and his granddaughter with a mocking expression.

At that moment, a powerful impact struck his buttocks, and the elder fainted from injustice and pain.

 

 

 

The elder’s story ended there.

Both people’s pants were stained with blood.

If left like this, they could die from beating poison.

 

“Let’s treat the areas that were beaten first.”

“Are you a physician?”

 

Jeok Wigang shook his head.

 

“I can just do simple healing.”

“Forget it. What’s the point of living?”

“You must live. Will you leave your granddaughter behind?”

 

The elder looked at his granddaughter sitting blankly and began to sob again.

 

“Huu-uk!”

 

Jeok Wigang patted the elder’s back and said.

 

“I’ll treat you and do my best to help clear your injustice.”

 

The elder looked at Jeok Wigang.

 

“Do you know me?”

“I don’t.”

“Then why are you helping me like this?”

“When I see someone in trouble, how can I just pass by?”

 

The elder’s eyes trembled.

 

“If all people in the world… were like you, it would truly be a good world to live in.”

“Such a world will come. A world where evil ends.”

“A world where evil ends. It sounds like a dream.”

“Such a world will surely come, so you must live with your granddaughter to see it together.”

“Thank you. Truly thank you.”

“Now, let’s go inside.”

 

When Jeok Wigang supported the elder, he struggled to stand up in pain.

It seemed they had just dumped the two people here, unable to walk properly.

The ground where the two had been sitting was soaked with blood.

Ye Yahyeon did everything Jeok Wigang told him to do without saying a word.

While doing so, he tried not to make eye contact with Jeok Wigang.

 

‘A-as expected, angry Dae-hyeong is scary!’

 

 

 

Jeok Wigang treated the elder and granddaughter. When he was carefully covering the two sleeping people with blankets, a commotion arose outside.

Wondering what was happening, he went out to see Ye Yahyeon holding two masked people.

 

“What’s this?”

“I don’t know. They were sneaking around, so I caught them first. We’ll have to find out what they’re up to now.”

“How long will it take?”

 

At Jeok Wigang’s question, Ye Yahyeon grinned and said.

 

“It won’t take long.”

 

Press-.

 

When he pressed their shoulder blades with his fingers, the two people’s eyes bulged as if they would pop out, suffering in pain.

 

“People often mistakenly think that Bone Breaking Muscle Tearing is the most terrifying torture, but it’s not. Soul Crushing Nerve Severing is truly the pinnacle of torture. Its effect is…”

 

Ye Yahyeon removed the masks from the two people and asked.

 

“What are you bastards doing?”

 

As soon as the question ended, the two people answered.

 

“I-Im Baekmun sent us!”

“He told us to kill the people in this house, making it look like suicide.”

 

The two people spilled everything.

Ye Yahyeon looked at Jeok Wigang proudly with a shrug.

Completely ignoring that gaze, he looked at the assassins.

 

“What should we do?”

“Get rid of them.”

 

Ye Yahyeon smiled at Jeok Wigang’s words.

 

“Understood. I’ll clean them up. May I handle the disposal as I see fit?”

 

Jeok Wigang nodded his head.

At that, Ye Yahyeon’s smile deepened as he licked his lips.

 

“It’s been a while since I’ve had some fun.”

 

Seeing the look in Ye Yahyeon’s eyes, the assassins clung to Jeok Wigang.

 

“P-please spare us! We’ll do whatever you command!”

“R-rather, just kill us here instead!”

 

Jeok Wigang frowned.

 

“What are you doing? Hurry up and clean them up.”

“Yes!”

 

Ye Yahyeon easily lifted the two men who had been struck with pressure point strikes and said.

 

“You bastards. Let’s have a fun time together today before you go to the underworld. Got it?”

 

With those words, Ye Yahyeon vanished in an instant.

Jeok Wigang spoke to the remaining Imperial Guard Jin Musa.

 

“Keep watch. I’ll be back after going out.”

“Yes! Understood!”

 

 

 

Jeok Wigang put on his mask after a long time.

He headed toward Im Baekmun’s residence.

In front of Im Baekmun, who had fallen asleep drunk, Jeok Wigang looked down at him intently.

What should he do?

He could kill him right now, but then the grievances of the elder and his granddaughter wouldn’t be resolved.

This bastard had to speak the truth for those two people’s grievances to be cleared, wouldn’t he?

He would make him confess his wrongdoings with his own mouth, directly.

Jeok Wigang picked up the sleeping Im Baekmun and quietly came out.

Then he moved to a secluded place he had spotted on his way here.

After dispelling all the alcohol with an incantation, he slapped Im Baekmun’s cheek.

 

Smack—.

 

He suddenly bolted upright from the sudden pain and looked around with a bewildered expression.

Then he spotted Jeok Wigang and asked.

 

“What? Where is this place? Did you bring me here?”

“Yeah.”

“Do you know who I am?”

“The Governor’s son-in-law?”

“Knowing that, you still committed this act?”

 

Im Baekmun stood up and moved his body around as he spoke.

 

“This is ridiculous. Just how much did you underestimate me to leave me like this without even using pressure point strikes?”

“Was there any need to?”

 

At Jeok Wigang’s words, Im Baekmun sneered and said.

 

“I’ve learned martial arts.”

“Oh, really?”

“I wonder if you’ve heard of the super first-rate level.”

“You have more skill than I thought? I don’t even have internal energy.”

“Hahaha! No internal energy? Feeling regretful now? Feeling like you messed with the wrong person? But it’s too late.”
