Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 117

Episode 117. Things will surely return to the right path (5)

Of course, it wasn’t just Jeong Hwi who was embarrassed.

It was impossible for a mere servant to play such a prank on the powerful figure of Hanam Jeongga.

The footnotes and the warriors also looked at the servant with their eyes wide open.

However, I couldn’t come forward while Jeong Hui-ji was still.

Then the servant asked again.

“Let me ask you again. What do you think would happen to you, my lord?”

This question is an obvious provocation.

Jeong Hui-ji shouted with all his might.

“Do you really want to die? No matter how foolish a slave you are, this is impossible! I will deal with you according to the family law.”

Jeong Hwi-ji approaches the servant with his hand on the scabbard.

As he approached, the servant held out his hand and shouted.

“Why don’t you just tell me! What do you mean by murder and extermination?”

Jeong Hui-ji stopped walking at the sight of the servant shouting and backing away.

Since that servant showed up, the atmosphere seemed strangely murky.

The ripple effect of just one word, murder and extermination, was huge.

The people were murmuring and looking at the servant as if he were some important witness.

“Doesn’t that servant know something?”

“What happened just now?”

“Murder? What on earth are you trying to hide?”

When everyone was wide-eyed at the unexpected situation, Archduke Jeong In-ji urgently intervened.

“What happened to your father? Tell me.”

Even in a situation where she didn’t know when she would die, Jeong In-ji worried about the safety of her father, Ga-ju.

The servant said nonchalantly.

“You woke up.”

“Are you awake? So you mean you opened your eyes?”

“Yes, to be exact, it would be correct to say that he got over his illness and got back on his feet. Well, from the perspective of Gangnam Murim, or rather Hanam Jeongga, it’s a good thing.”

The servant shrugged his shoulders as if to ask what the problem was and looked at Jeong In-ji and Jeong Hwi-ji alternately.

Of course, the servant’s true identity was Hanbin.

Hanbin was disguising himself as a servant rather than a member of the National Assembly with Sim Miho’s help.

Hanbin looked back and forth between the first and second sons of Hanamjeongga.

The first, Jeong In-ji, sighed in relief, seemingly oblivious to her own situation.

On the contrary, Jeong Hwi-ji was glaring at Han Bin as if he was going to kill him, as if what he said was absolutely not true.

“That will never happen. You are lying!”

Hanbin said at that sight.

“Your Majesty, the Prince of Hanamjeongga, you are very embarrassed.”

“What, what? What are you saying I was flustered about?”

As Jeong Hui-ji’s expression hardened, Han Bin tilted his head and said.

“If your father wakes up, shouldn’t you be happy as a son?”

“My father’s condition had worsened due to his addiction. It’s impossible for him to suddenly wake up.”

Hanbin raised the corners of his lips to look at her.

“How can you be so sure you’re addicted so quickly?”

“It’s only natural that you became like that after taking Cheongmyeonghwan.”

“After Prince Peng over there delivered the Qingminghuan, he became addicted in the blink of an eye. Is that right?”

“Yes.”

“Then shouldn’t the first person you suspect be the doctor who prescribed the medicine?”

“What does that mean?”

“Couldn’t the member of parliament switch the Cheongmyeonghwan?”

“That can’t happen.”

“Has anyone seen taking the Cheongmyeong-hwan out of the Hancheol chest?”

“Of course the doctor would have taken it out for treatment.”

“If it were me, I would have cut off the congressman’s hand before doing something like this. Honestly, isn’t it purely your own position that Mr. Jeong trusts the congressman?”

Hanbin turned his head and glanced at the congressman.

The congressman opened his eyes wide and took a step back.

Hanbin shouted at that sight.

“Look! There’s something that’s bothering you, so run away. Are you saying that you trust the doctor but not the four Confucius of Peng?”

“… … .”

Jeong In-ji did not answer Han Bin’s question and just wiggled her eyebrows.

Hanbin snickered at that sight and asked again.

“Are you saying that you trust your congressman but not your brother?”

Hanbin’s point was valid.

Hanbin looked around the audience and continued to shout.

“The only evidence of addiction comes from the testimony of the congressman and Jeong Hui-ji.”

Jeong Hui-ji responded urgently to that appearance.

“There is other evidence… … .”

Hanbin cut him off immediately.

“Is that other evidence conclusive evidence?”

Jeong Hui-ji narrowed her eyes and looked at Han Bin.

The attire was clearly that of a servant.

However, he was not an ordinary person who led the conversation by slowly increasing the pressure without being overwhelmed by his own momentum.

Jeong Hui-ji glanced at Jeong In-ji.

It seemed that he wasn’t the only one who had set a trap.

I was certain that the unidentified servant was Jeong In-ji’s person.

However, his father, Gaju Jeong Mu-ryong, did not rise from his seat.

It was Jeong Hwi-ji who made him like that.

He had his father Jeong Mu-ryong take the herb he had collected from Baekdokgok a few months ago.

It is known to the world as a medicinal herb, but when several herbs are mixed, it turns into a toxic medicine.

So, it was a disease that could not be cured no matter what doctor came.

Of course, if you take Cheongmyeong-hwan, which is called the best elixir, there is a possibility of recovery to some extent.

However, the Cheongmyeonghwan that Jeong Mu-ryong took was clearly fake.

It was fake from the moment it was sent from Habukpengga.

This was something that Madam Jeong Hwa and Jeong Hui-ji had agreed upon in advance.

Even if the four princes of Habukpengga were lucky enough to arrive at Hanamjeongga, they would inevitably fall into the trap they had set.

In other words, the four princes of the Habuk Peng family and the grand prince of the Hanam Jeong family had to die here anyway.

But a variable has been created?

The variable is that Gaju Jeongmu-ryong stood up from his seat.

It was something that could not and should not have happened.

It was clear that the man dressed as a servant was lying.

Jeong Hui-ji thought that the man in servant’s attire was definitely a spy planted by Grand Duke Jeong In-ji.

He decided to take care of the situation for now.

Jeong Hui-ji glanced at Jeong Chang-myeong of the Jeomchangpa.

It was decided to borrow the power of a giant sect.

When Jeong Chang-myeong nodded as their eyes met, Jeong Hui-ji continued speaking.

“The two masters representing the Jeomchang and Kunlun factions have acknowledged the evidence, so who can deny it?”

As soon as Jeong Hui-ji finished speaking, Jeong Chang-myeong shouted with all his might.

“Are you insulting our Jeomchang faction, the great faction, on the subject of servants?”

It was meant to be pressed under the name of a point window.

At his shout, Jeong Hui-ji slightly raised the corners of his lips.

Of course, the rest of the people just froze.

Everyone in the audience, independent of Jeong Hwi-ji, became tense at his loud shout.

Someone spoke in a quiet voice.

“It’s a wonder that servant’s head is still there.”

“It’s going to fall down soon. Tsk.”

While everyone was clicking their tongues, Hanbin continued speaking.

“Then I will also ask one of the other old file rooms about the authenticity of the letter.”

Those words caused laughter to erupt here and there.

Someone said.

“I couldn’t believe it, he was crazy.”

“That’s right.”

“Then is it true that the Grand Duke and the Prince of Pengga conspired?”

“That’s another matter. But that servant is clearly crazy. Ask Gupailbang what he is.”

“Haha, that’s true.”

As the people started to murmur, everyone related to Jeong Hwi-ji simultaneously raised the corners of their mouths.

Jeong Chang-myeong also continued speaking with a hollow smile.

“Haha, how can you, a servant, be discussing the old file room?”

After finishing speaking, Jeong Chang-myeong looked at Han Bin.

However, I didn’t realize that he was really Hanbin.

Li Muming, who was thought to be the fourth son of the Habuk Peng family, was sitting in Han Bin’s place, wearing red military attire and subdued, so the servant had no idea that it was Han Bin.

Hanbin, who was receiving everyone’s attention, snickered and snapped his fingers.

Exactly!

Everyone tilted their heads at Hanbin’s sudden behavior.

As everyone looked at Hanbin with curious eyes, the entrance to the Gajujeon opened at the back.

CLANG!

The door opened wide and the sunlight streaming in from behind cast long shadows.

Everyone’s eyes moved along the long shadow.

There, a warrior was walking slowly.

He walked leisurely, carrying an ornate sword on his waist, flapping his sleeves as if to show off to others.

The sleeves had a vivid plum blossom pattern.

Someone looked at him and shouted quietly.

“It’s a volcano!”

“The plum blossom inspection of the Volcano faction?”

At their shouts, Kunlun’s Yi Jinming narrowed his eyes.

Because the person who just entered the store is a face he knows well.

He stood before Kunlun’s Li Jinming without asking for the understanding of those around him.

He politely nodded.

“Master Lee Jin-myeong, it’s been a while.”

“Huh, what is the great swordsman Seo Jae-oh doing here?”

Lee Jin-myeong was also surprised and faced the lottery.

The swordsman of the Hwasan faction who had just appeared here was none other than the plum blossom swordsman of the Hwasan faction, Seo Jae-oh.

Lee Jin-myeong narrowed his eyes and shook his head.

Are they really allies or enemies?

Lee Jin-myeong thought that Seo Jae-oh was close to his allies.

That’s because he holds a grudge against the four princes of Habukpengga.

Seo Jae-oh thought that he would definitely share their views.

However, Lee Jin-myeong’s expectations were shattered by Seo Jae-oh’s next words.

“When I look at this handwriting, I see the possibility of it being forged. And since when has the great sect of Gupailbang interfered in the affairs of other families? Our Hwasan sect has never engaged in such matters.”

Lee Jin-myeong’s lips trembled slightly at the stinging remark.

Could Kunlun and Zhenchang stand tall in front of the volcano?

There is no exact order in the Gupaebang, but the names Jeomchang and Kunlun were not enough to suppress the volcano with force.

Moreover, the way of martial arts that Seo Jae-oh, the disciple of Hwasan, preached was also logical.

As for Lee Jin-myeong, he has neither the logic nor the power to refute it.

Seo Jae-oh also didn’t like his current job.

However, in order to receive his own sword and plum blossom badge, he had to follow Hanbin’s words.

In fact, how would Lee Jin-myeong know whose handwriting this is?

All that mattered to him now was that if this went well, he would be able to get his plum blossoms back.

Seo Jae-oh didn’t care what was happening in this house.

However, I couldn’t help but laugh when I thought about the plum blossoms I would receive back.

At that sight, Kunlun’s Yi Jinming hummed softly.

“You’re crazy, you’re crazy.”

In an unexpected situation, Jeong Hwi-ji sensed that something was wrong and took out the Gaju card from his bosom.

Jeong Hui-ji raised his flag high and shouted.

“Warriors of Hanamjeongga, obey the orders of the head of the household!”

Before the absolute authority of the Gaju clan, the Hanam Jeongga warriors simultaneously knelt on one knee and struck the ground with their swords.

Boom! Boom!

At the very front, the warrior spoke in a grave voice.

“Give the order!”

Jeong Hui-ji shouted at that sight.

“Punish all traitors of Hanam Jeongga!”

The warriors drew their swords.

Slurp! Slurp!

The warriors divided into groups and approached each person to kill them.

One side is towards Lee Mu-myeong, disguised as Han Bin.

One side is towards Grand Duke Jeong In-ji.

The tension was so high that it wouldn’t have been strange if blood spurted out at any moment.

Jeong Hui-ji continued speaking while looking at Seo Jae-oh, Lee Jin-myeong, and Jeong Chang-myeong.

“Now, outsiders, please leave. We will take care of our family’s affairs.”

Seo Jae-oh narrowed his eyes.

“hmm.”

That was all he was asked to do by Hanbin.

Now it didn’t matter to him whether he died or became food.

Seo Jae-oh looked at Lee Jin-myeong and Jeong Chang-myeong and said.

“We should probably leave now.”

“You are right.”

Jeong Chang-myeong nodded and followed Seo Jae-o.

Now all the outsiders who could have been witnesses have disappeared.

Jeong Hui-ji looked at his older brother, Grand Duke Jeong In-ji.

“I can’t bring myself to handle it myself.”

After finishing speaking, Jeong Hwi-ji nodded slightly.
