Episode 116. Things will surely return to the right path (4)
When their footsteps stopped in front of the iron bars of the prison, Imoo-myeong raised his head.
In front of my eyes, Jeong Hui-ji’s subordinate was shining his eyes.
He said with a bitter smile.
“Sinner, get up quickly.”
“… … .”
Imoo-myeong looked at him as if he found it absurd.
It was clearly stated that the family would hold its own trial.
Are you treating your direct relatives as criminals before the results are even out?
I didn’t want to think that my lord, Hanbin, had failed.
However, Jeong Hui-ji’s subordinate had a strangely confident expression on his face.
Imoo-myeong furrowed his brows without realizing it.
Jeong Hui-ji’s subordinate raised the corners of his mouth when he saw that sight.
Then he shouted happily to his subordinate.
“Pull him out!”
As Imoo-myeong and Seol-hwa stood up, Jeong Hwi-ji’s subordinate spoke with a kind face.
“But I have to give you a chance to make an excuse, so I have to let you go.”
He licked his lips as if he were doing a favor.
Pick!
At the same time, a sigh escaped Imoo-myeong’s mouth.
“hmm.”
Jeong Hui-ji’s subordinate spoke with a kind face.
“Please don’t be so upset. We don’t want to treat you like this, Prince of Pengga. Just nod your head to my lord’s questions unconditionally. That’s the only way to survive.”
“You, do you think you’ll be okay after doing this?”
Imoo-myeong shouted in an angry voice as he empathized with Han-bin’s role.
At that shout, Jeong Hui-ji’s subordinate shook his head slightly.
“I guess I’ll have to let go of Ah-hyeol once I get to Gajujeon.”
Pick!
He again drew blood from Imoo-myeong’s acupuncture needle.
Imoo-myeong, who had been stabbed, looked at the end of the dark hallway without any expression.
Imoo-myeong glanced to the side as he was slowly being dragged away.
There, Seol-hwa was walking expressionlessly.
* * *
The place where Imoo-myeong was taken was the Gajujeon of Hanam Jeongga.
He squinted his eyes and looked around.
Everyone in the house had shining eyes.
It looks like a pack of lynxes with food in front of them.
But their eyes were subtly different.
Everyone’s wants are different.
Some people will want money and power.
It seemed like someone wanted power.
Of course, there were also those who were worried about where to line up.
Imoo-myeong gritted his teeth in the strange atmosphere.
‘Where on earth is my lord?’
Imoo-myeong watched people without rest.
Then a rumbling sound was heard.
“I guess it’s time to start.”
“Everyone, be quiet.”
Before their cries had even died down, footsteps were heard.
Thud thud.
The sound of footsteps echoed as if filled with internal energy.
The sound of footsteps was heading towards the Taesa Temple in Gajujeon. The owner of the sound was Jeong Hwi-ji.
It was a flashy appearance, as if he was revealing that he was the main character of the day.
He slowly climbed to the top seat and glanced at the empty throne of the family.
But, I didn’t sit there.
It was a leisurely look in her eyes that showed there was no rush.
Jeong Hwi-ji, standing next to Taesa, looked inside the Gajujeon with a sharp expression.
On the left and right of the main hall were the elders and heads of the Hanam Jeongga.
The elders and footnotes who met Jeong Hwi-ji’s gaze slightly bowed their heads.
Some of them are smiling invisible.
Jeong Hwi-ji, who had been examining the elders and footnotes, turned his gaze to the upper seat.
There, Jinmyeong Lee of the Kunlun sect and Changmyeong Jeong of the Jeomchang sect, who had come as guests, were lost in thought with expressionless faces, as if waiting for something.
When Jeong Hui-ji looked at them, Lee Jin-myeong and Jeong Chang-myeong woke up from their reverie and smiled faintly.
This time, Jeong Hui-ji relaxed his sharp expression and nodded to show his courtesy to them.
Jinmyeong Lee of the Kunlun Sect and Changmyeong Jeong of the Jeomchang Sect will be witnesses to everything that happens here.
They will also preach to all members of the political party that Jeong Hui-ji’s actions are fair.
First of all, the situation was set up the way Jeong Hwi-ji wanted.
Now, the grand feast of generational change in Hanam politics was just around the corner.
Of course, we needed to sample the food before that.
From now on, Jeong Hwi-ji was going to finely chop the best ingredients, Pang Han-bin and Jeong In-ji.
Jeong Hui-ji carefully stroked Taesa’s arm and made a grave expression.
Everyone nodded as if agreeing with that expression.
Lee Moo-myung, who was looking at Jeong Hui-ji’s expression, sighed softly.
“phew…….”
It was the day when all my illusions about Hanam Jeongga, which I had been involved in since childhood, were shattered.
At that moment, Jeong Hui-ji turned his head and shouted with all his might.
“Bring in the Archduke!”
The warriors who followed his instructions opened the side door of the main building.
The warriors following Jeong Hwi-ji brought someone in bound form.
Although he was subdued, the man’s eyes were alive.
The man who was dragged in stood in front of Jeong Hwi-ji.
There is a strange atmosphere between the man and Jeong Hwi-ji.
Everyone in the waiting room swallowed dryly as they looked at Jeong Hwi-ji and the man, who were looking at each other without saying a word.
There was a moment of silence, and the man was the first to speak.
He spoke in a reproachful voice.
“Second, what is going on?”
The man was Jeong In-ji, the older brother of Jeong Hui-ji and the head of the Hanam Jeongga family.
He had returned to Hanamjeongga an hour ago and received a report from his younger brother that the Qingminghuan sent from Habukpengga had arrived.
Jeong Hui-ji delivered the news and launched an ambush on Jeong In-ji.
Jeong In-ji, who had been at ease, had no choice but to be defeated by Jeong Hui-ji.
In response to Jeong In-ji’s angry question, Jeong Hui-ji responded without any expression.
“That’s what I want to ask you. Brother, why on earth did you do such a thing?”
“What does that mean?”
“The Qingming pills brought from Habukpengga contained poison.”
“What does that mean?”
“Thanks to you, my father’s condition has become irreversible.”
“What on earth happened to your father?”
Jeong In-ji opened her eyes wide and asked, as if she had forgotten her own situation.
“Why do you pretend not to know? The four princes of Pengga have already confessed the whole truth.”
“You’re the Four Princes of Pengga?”
Jeong In-ji narrowed her eyes and looked around the inside of the house.
No matter how much I looked, I couldn’t find the person I knew from Habukpangga in Gajujeon.
That was understandable, since Jeong In-ji didn’t even know that there was a Confucius in Habukpengga until now.
Hanbin’s presence in Habukpangga was minimal.
Although he was known as the biggest coward in Hebei Province, there was no reason for that reputation to spread to Henan Province.
Jeong In-ji also went back and forth between the shaman sect, the Hwasan sect, and the Shaolin Temple to obtain the elixir needed to treat Gaju.
Because I was running around so absentmindedly, I couldn’t even hear the rumors that were going around in the world.
At that moment, Jeong Hui-ji clapped his hands.
Clap clap!
At the sound, the warriors dragged a man in red uniform from behind.
The warriors threw a man in red uniform into the center of the battlefield.
As the warriors surrounded the man in red uniform, Jeong Hui-ji pointed in that direction with his index finger and said.
“Are you saying that you really don’t know the author?”
Jeong In-ji shouted, surprised by the sight.
“Second one! What on earth are you talking about?”
“You pretend not to know that your brother is plotting with the four princes of Pengga? Are you saying that you coveted the position of head of the household so much?”
“What the heck… … .”
“Please wait a moment.”
Jeong Hui-ji slowly walked towards Lee Mu-myeong.
Jeong Hui-ji, standing in front of Imoo-myeong, spoke in a low voice.
“There is no need for an answer. Peng Hanbin, do you admit to conspiring with Jeong Inji, the grand prince of Hanam Jeongga?”
Everyone waited for an answer without blinking at the loud shout filled with inner strength.
Imoo-myeong didn’t know that Jeong Hwi-ji was such a hypocrite.
Jeong Hui-ji was blatantly ignoring his benefactors.
The head of the Hanam Jeongga family who saved Imoo-myeong from a life-threatening situation and took him in as a child.
Grand Duke Jeong In-ji, who supported him in his rise to the top.
Even Hanbin, who recognized his own sword.
He was playing a trick on everyone.
Imoo-myeong shouted, forgetting his own situation.
“You rascal! How can you wear human skin and slander like that? How did the Grand Duke take care of you? The Grand Duke gave all the elixirs to his younger brother and made them into Hanam Jeilgeom. How can you betray that favor?”
At Imoo-myeong’s shout, the elders and the elders quietly turned their heads.
Because there was not an inch of falsehood in what he said.
However, Jeong Hui-ji smiled strangely.
At the end of that laughter, Jeong Hui-ji opened her mouth.
“Yes, that’s how you confess. You obviously don’t know the Archduke, so how can you know so much about our family? Isn’t that also evidence?”
Lee Moo-myung was breathless at Jeong Hui-ji’s strange words.
In a word, it was self-inflicted wounds.
He had to act as Hanbin, but he lost his temper for a moment and revealed his true feelings.
It was when Imoo-myeong was about to open his mouth again.
Jeong Hui-ji extended his hand.
His index finger flying towards Imoo-myeong like a snake.
Pick!
Imoo-myeong opened his eyes wide.
Jeong Hwi-ji gave a blood test to Lee Mu-myeong as if he didn’t need to say anything else.
Imoo-myeong, who had been subdued by the demon spirit, just blinked.
Jeong Hui-ji, who was looking at Imoo-myeong as if he was laughing, took out a letter from his bosom.
As everyone’s eyes were focused on the letter in Jeong Hui-ji’s hand, he continued speaking with a hardened face.
“This letter is unmistakable evidence that the Grand Duke and the Four Dukes of Pengga conspired. I would like to have the Grand Master Jeong Chang-myeong of the Jeomchangpa here verify the authenticity of this document.”
After finishing speaking, Jeong Hui-ji quietly walked to Jeong Chang-myeong and placed the letter in front of him.
Jeong Chang-myeong, who received the letter, read it over a few times and then nodded.
“It is clear that the Four Princes of Pengga and the Grand Prince of Hanamjeongga conspired. You too can see it.”
Jeong Chang-myeong quickly handed the letter to Lee Jin-myeong of the Kunlun sect next to him.
Jinmyeong Lee, who had been examining the letter, continued speaking.
“This handwriting clearly seems to be that of the Archduke.”
“I think so too. It contains detailed instructions on how to harm the Hanam Jeongga lord by switching the Cheongmyeongwan.”
Everyone started to chatter at the conversation between Jeong Chang-myeong and Lee Jin-myeong.
“What? Was it real?”
“Why would the Archduke harm the Lord? Even if he stayed still, the position would have come to him.”
“No. How honest is your Majesty that you are giving up your seat?”
“And the guests of Kunlun and Jeomchang would never lie.”
When the masters of Daemunpa, Kunlun and Jeomchang, came forward to testify, what Jeong Hui-ji had said was confirmed as fact.
That was when.
Grand Duke Jeong In-ji shouted.
“You bastard! Not only did you frame your own blood brother, you even harmed your father… … .”
Before Jeong In-ji could finish speaking, Jeong Hui-ji stepped forward.
“That’s what I have to say, brother.”
After finishing speaking, Jeong Hui-ji clapped his hands again.
At the same time, the member of parliament that Jeong Hui-ji had called in came in carrying a suitcase.
As the assemblyman standing in front of everyone opened the Hancheol Rail without saying anything, Jeong Hui-ji spoke.
“Please show me, Congressman.”
As Jeong Hui-ji gestured, the assemblyman stuck a silver needle into the iron box and then took it out.
Then he showed the silver needle to everyone.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on the tiny needle.
Suddenly the elders and the footnotes began to murmur again.
“It turned black. So… … .”
“Looking at the way the silver needle has changed, it is clear that there was some dogmatism in it.”
“The temple is a monopoly… … The evidence is clear.”
Perhaps because they were unmanned, they immediately noticed even the slightest change in the silver needle.
Jeong In-ji’s eyes widened at their whispers.
I was caught in a trap without being able to move.
Jeong Hui-ji said with a satisfied smile after seeing Jeong In-ji’s expression.
“From now on, I will condemn the sinners!”
After finishing speaking, Jeong Hwi-ji picked up the scabbard.
Whoosh!
Everyone held their breath at Jeong Hui-ji’s actions.
That was when.
Someone opened the side door of the store and rushed in, shouting.
“My lord! My lord!”
It was a young man wearing faded blue clothes.
Judging from his attire, he was clearly a servant of Hanam Jeongga.
Jeong Hui-ji, who thought the result was as expected, asked with a pretended gloomy expression.
“What happened to your father?”
The servant in blue raised his head.
But the servant’s expression was strange. It was as if he was looking down on Jeong Hwi-ji.
The servant, with a strange expression on his face, continued speaking.
“What do you think happened?”
Jeong Hui-ji’s eyebrows twitched at the servant’s sudden question.
