Legend of the Evil Martial God
Chapter 110
At the words that punishment would be separate, the magistrate forgot his pain and staggered backward.
“Uuuooo do ou ink I’ll e afe…?”
“Do you think you’ll be safe after doing this? Hmm. I think you’ll be safe.”
“Ou’re ow aacking an oicial o eats e ation’s ain… Ou’ll egret is…”
“You’re now attacking an official who eats the nation’s grain?”
The magistrate nodded his head.
“It’s fine. I’m also an official who eats the nation’s grain.”
At Jeok Wigang’s words, the magistrate’s pupils dilated.
“At’s… i… ossi e…”
“Impossible? His Majesty even granted me an Imperial Command Plaque to handle guys like you properly.”
“I… erial… o and… aque?”
He held out the Imperial Command Plaque before the magistrate who stared at him with disbelieving eyes.
Upon seeing the Imperial Command Plaque, the magistrate fell backward and trembled violently.
“Oh? You see the Imperial Command Plaque but don’t bow? Are you harboring treasonous thoughts?”
At the word treason, the magistrate quickly got up and prostrated himself.
The pain of his torn tongue was long forgotten.
The terror that the word treason brought was enough to make him forget the pain.
It was a word that could destroy at least three generations, or even nine generations of a family.
“Ong ive e eror! Ong ive e eror! Ong ive e eror!”
He continuously bowed before the Imperial Command Plaque while shouting long live.
Jeok Wigang asked.
“Since you’re a magistrate, decide your own punishment.”
At those words, the magistrate’s body trembled violently.
His crimes were bribery and concealment, and distortion of justice.
Both were heinous crimes of great treason, and the lightest punishment would be exile.
“Should I tell you? You took bribes and concealed the crimes of criminals, so that’s bribery and concealment. You deliberately distorted trials or ignored evidence and sided with criminals, so that’s distortion of justice. You disobeyed your superior’s orders and protected criminals, so that’s insubordination and treason. Three crimes total. Right?”
At the mention of insubordination and treason, the magistrate was startled and shook his head frantically.
“No? Why not? His Majesty must have ordered you to resolve the people’s grievances fairly and justly, but you disobeyed that command, didn’t you? Am I wrong?”
The magistrate’s pupils shook violently.
“The punishments for that are three options: beheading, death by a thousand cuts, or extermination of three generations. I’ll give you the chance to choose one.”
All were punishments he couldn’t choose.
The least painful would be beheading.
The magistrate looked at Jeok Wigang desperately with trembling pupils.
“Have you chosen? Sorry, but there’s no mercy.”
With a despairing look, trembling violently, he raised one index finger.
“You chose beheading?”
The magistrate nodded his head with difficulty.
“In your next life, be born as a fair and just person.”
Swish-.
As Jeok Wigang’s hand swept by, the magistrate’s body and head separated.
Thud thud- Roll roll-.
The head that fell to the ground rolled toward Im Baekmun, and seeing it, Im Baekmun fled outside in terror.
The soldiers watching this were also shocked.
But no one stepped forward.
They had learned Jeok Wigang’s identity.
A being who came down with an imperial command.
Who would dare touch him?
Jeok Wigang’s voice was heard.
“Attach the body and head properly and give him a funeral.”
“Yes! We understand!”
The soldiers hurriedly collected the magistrate’s corpse.
As Jeok Wigang approached, Mok Yonggi and Mok Hwaran hastily prostrated themselves.
“Great Person, please forgive us for not recognizing you!”
“Not at all. I hid my identity, so it’s natural you didn’t recognize me.”
“Thank you so much for resolving the grievances of this humble person and my granddaughter!”
“I only did what needed to be done.”
Jeok Wigang looked at Mok Hwaran and said.
“The wounds… won’t disappear, but be strong for your grandfather’s sake.”
“Yes, Great Person. Just having my grievances resolved has given me strength. Thank you so much.”
“Hwa, Hwaran! You can sp, speak?”
“Grandfather! I can speak now!”
“Thank goodness! What a relief!”
Jeok Wigang smiled warmly as he watched the two people embracing and crying.
Just then, Ye Yahyeon came in dragging Im Baekmun.
“This guy was trying to escape, so I caught him.”
Im Baekmun was struggling, trying to break free from Ye Yahyeon’s grip.
“Let him go. We’ll be heading the same way anyway.”
“Understood.”
Freed from Ye Yahyeon’s grasp, Im Baekmun ran out like a madman.
“Let’s go too.”
Unhae Castle, Governor’s Residence.
Governor Jang Unbyeok was listening to a report with a pathetic expression.
“So… you’re telling me that Im Baekmun is going around the entire neighborhood blabbering about what he did?”
“That’s correct.”
“What were you all doing? Why didn’t you stop him?”
“We tried to stop him. But he possesses martial arts superior to our soldiers, so we couldn’t catch him.”
“You should have suppressed him by force.”
“We apologize.”
“So where is he now?”
“He ran into the government office.”
“He’s bringing shame to the entire family. So you just came back?”
“We asked the magistrate to handle it well before coming back.”
“I see? If it’s Magistrate Ji, he’ll handle it well on his own, so there’s no need to worry. But did you find out why that guy is suddenly acting like this?”
“We don’t know. The soldiers who saw him said he seemed to have lost his mind…”
“Lost his mind?”
“Yes. His appearance was similar to… criminals who had been tortured.”
“Similar to criminals who had been tortured? Hmm… So you’re saying Im Baekmun was tortured by someone somewhere?”
“That’s not certain. They said his outward appearance looked fine.”
“Oh my. My head… I took him as a son-in-law because of the Bohae Trading Company money, but I never knew he’d cause such headaches.”
He was holding his forehead and shaking his head when
a commotion could be heard from outside.
“What’s that commotion? Go find out.”
“Yes!”
A moment later, the subordinate who returned spoke urgently.
“They say your son-in-law is causing a disturbance.”
“That Im Baekmun?”
“That’s right.”
“That damn bastard… Let’s go see.”
“Yes!”
When they came outside, Im Baekmun was trembling like a madman, rummaging through everything here and there.
Seeing this, Jang Unbyeok frowned and said.
“What are you all doing? Catch him right now.”
“Yes!”
The soldiers rushed to catch Im Baekmun, but they were being overpowered by his martial arts and sent flying.
“Pathetic…”
Jang Unbyeok stepped forward himself with an annoyed expression.
Whoosh-.
Crack-.
“Kugh!”
Thud-.
Im Baekmun was instantly suppressed by Jang Unbyeok’s single palm strike and collapsed to the ground.
He sighed looking at Im Baekmun.
“This is really…”
He was angry and annoyed, but since he was his son-in-law, he couldn’t do anything about it and was going crazy.
Just then, Jeok Wigang and Ye Yahyeon followed and entered.
“What’s this? Why are so many people looking for me today?”
The soldier who guided Jeok Wigang and Ye Yahyeon spoke carefully.
“They say they’re from Hyeonryong Castle.”
“Hyeonryong Castle?”
Jang Unbyeok looked at Jeok Wigang and Ye Yahyeon, then sighed again.
“What did you come for? I sent all the military rations as requested.”
“Yes. The military rations arrived well. The problem is that all the rations were rotten.”
“That can’t be. You must have seen wrong.”
“We brought them because you might not believe us.”
“What?”
Carts entering one after another through the gate.
“What are all those?”
“The military rations the Governor sent to Hyeonryong Castle.”
“You seem well-fed. To bring back the military rations we sent.”
“It’s not that we’re well-fed, but that we’re so hungry we can’t eat what’s inedible, so we brought it back.”
“Hmph! That’s what being well-fed means.”
When Jeok Wigang gave a signal with his eyes, Ye Yahyeon removed the covering.
Then a foul smell spread in all directions.
“Ugh! Wh-what is this smell!”
“I didn’t want to know either, but this is the smell grain gives off when it rots.”
“R-remove it immediately!”
“Since you’ve confirmed it, please replace it with new military rations.”
“I clearly sent proper military rations! Are you now blaming me because you failed to manage them properly and they rotted! Take that damn rations and get lost immediately. If you don’t, I’ll deal with you strictly under military law!”
“Military law? What military law? If you sent the wrong rations, shouldn’t you apologize first?”
“You, you wh-what are you doing now?”
“Why?”
“Do you know who I am and you’re speaking informally to me now? Are you also crazy?”
“Ah, right. Your son-in-law went crazy, didn’t he? I’m the one who made him like that.”
Jeok Wigang pointed at Im Baekmun with his chin and grinned wickedly.
Jang Unbyeok’s eyelids trembled violently, and one eye twitched open and closed.
“What do you mean by that now?”
“Your son-in-law did so many terrible things to the people that I gave him some education. How about it, aren’t you grateful? Now he won’t be able to do such things again, right?”
“You damn bastard. It seems you don’t want to die peacefully. Fine. I’ll capture you and make you experience every torture that exists in this world. You’ll spend your days begging and pleading to be killed.”
Im Baekmun came running toward Jang Unbyeok, who was trembling with rage.
“F-Father-in-law! Y-you mustn’t do that! Th-that person is a demon! You mustn’t!”
“Get out of the way!”
“Father-in-law! You mustn’t!”
“You damn bastard!”
Clang-.
Swoosh-.
Im Baekmun, who had been desperately blocking his way and trying to stop him, had his neck severed by his father-in-law’s hand.
His head fell to the ground with a hollow expression.
Jang Unbyeok grimaced and spoke to his soldiers.
“Clean it up! Preserve the body intact. I can’t show my daughter such a hideous sight.”
“Yes!”
Jang Unbyeok’s anger began to focus entirely on Jeok Wigang.
“Because of you, I even killed my son-in-law with my own hands. You know you’ve crossed a river of no return now, don’t you?”
“Yeah.”
“What are you doing! Bind that bastard immediately and bring him before me!”
As soon as the governor’s order fell, soldiers swarmed out from all directions and surrounded Jeok Wigang and Ye Yahyeon.
Despite being surrounded by numerous soldiers, neither of the two showed any signs of tension.
“Older Brother. Shall I handle this?”
“Go ahead.”
“May I kill them?”
“No, they’re pitiful.”
“Tch! Understood.”
At that moment, Ye Yahyeon dove like lightning toward the soldiers charging at them all at once.
The soldiers couldn’t handle Ye Yahyeon and fell like autumn leaves in the wind.
“He’s using martial arts! Deploy the Qi Return Formation!”
They immediately responded to the command and began forming the formation.
At the same time, archers who had been hiding everywhere appeared and aimed at Jeok Wigang and Ye Yahyeon.
“Fire!”
This was to buy time while the formation was being formed.
Twang-.
The sound of bowstrings being released simultaneously filled the arena, and countless arrows approached like black storm clouds.
Whiiiish-.
Arrows pouring down like a downpour with an eerie sound.
Whoosh-.
A transparent barrier formed around Ye Yahyeon, deflecting the numerous incoming arrows.
Meanwhile, Jeok Wigang stood still, but all the arrows were missing him.
Jang Unbyeok, watching this scene, tilted his head wondering what kind of phenomenon this was.
But Ye Yahyeon knew what this phenomenon was and was horrified.
Right now, Jeok Wigang was deflecting each and every arrow flying toward him with his hands.
The speed was so fast that it was invisible to human eyes, making it appear as if the arrows were naturally missing on their own.
At some point, the rain of arrows disappeared.
A conversation took place between the two people standing among the arrows stuck all over the ground.
“Wouldn’t it be fine to just get hit?”
“That would be easier, but then my clothes would tear. When clothes tear, it looks unsightly.”
