Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 398



Only Noblemtl

398. Hanbin looking ahead ten steps ahead (1)

At that sound, Seolhwa grabbed the bundle.

“Shall we get ready, Your Majesty?”

“Yeah, I guess it’s time to set the table now.”

“Where should I spread it?”

When Seolhwa asked, Hanbin quietly looked around.

Hanbin, whose eyes were shining thoughtfully, pointed to a place.

It sometimes looked like a stage where performances took place.

Hanbin, who had been watching for a while, asked Dang Se-ryeong.

“Is that a place that anyone can use?”

“Yes, it’s a stage created by the Lord of Sacheon. It’s a place that anyone can use.”

At Dang Se-ryeong’s words, Han Bin walked towards that place.

The place Hanbin was heading to had stone steps lined up neatly.

Beneath it, a large stone pedestal formed the stage.

Not only for the performances, but in some ways it was the best place to spend time.

But the reason why there were so few people here was simple.

This was because the terrain was lower than other places, making it unfavorable for observing Manwolru.

The performance that the people of Sacheon wanted to see now was who would enter Manwolru.

So, it was inevitable that there would be few people in the low-lying concert hall.

Hanbin sat down on the stage made of stone.

Seolhwa sat down next to him and opened her bundle.

As expected, the writing brush and ink were neatly arranged.

Seolhwa started eating without hesitation.

Swish-swish.

Dang Se-ryeong was surprised by the unexpected sight and asked.

“Confucius, what are you doing?”

“It’s a secret.”

“omg.”

“Just kidding, come here and help me.”

Hanbin gestured towards Dang Se-ryeong.

Dang Se-ryeong quickly approached Han Bin.

As she came closer, Hanbin held out his hand.

Dang Se-ryeong opened her eyes wide at the sight of Hanbin suddenly reaching out his hand.

“Why, why are you doing that?”

Then Seolhwa intervened.

“Sister, that’s what I’m talking about.”

Seolhwa pointed to the luggage that Dang Se-ryeong was carrying.

What Dang Se-ryeong was holding was a list of money lent to people by Sacheon Dangga, along with a loan certificate.

What Dang Se-ryeong was most curious about was where to use this.

But now, when he asked her to hand over the loan certificate, she unconsciously grabbed the bundle.

Hanbin chuckled at that sight.

“Didn’t Sacheondangga need workers?”

“That, that’s true, but how are you going to get workers with this? You’re not trying to threaten them, are you? There are so many people here, and if you’re trying to threaten them with this loan certificate to get them to work… … .”

“My lord has entrusted this task to me. It is not your concern whether I roast or boil people with this loan certificate.”

At Hanbin’s words, Dang Se-ryeong had no choice but to hand over the list of names and the loan certificate.

Hanbin looked through the list and then stood up.

Hanbin, who had been looking ahead with a meaningful expression for a moment, quickly recalled one of the Yongrin Sword Technique’s first techniques.

‘Pretend.’

‘Rebuttal.’

What if you put a counterargument to the empty boast?

Hanbin was going to try it now.

The effect of boasting is to intimidate people.

In addition, it makes you mistake Hanbin’s realm for a puffer fish that inflates its body.

However, in Banbak Gwijin’s case, it was the exact opposite.

It was a tool that perfectly hid Hanbin’s inaction.

Hanbin shouted based on two recipes.

“Jong Ho-hyeon’s Lee Chang-hyeon!”

At that moment, Dang Se-ryeong, who was standing next to him, opened his eyes wide.

Hanbin’s voice did not contain any inner strength.

But that voice made my head spin.

Dang Se-ryeong opened her eyes wide and looked at Han Bin.

I couldn’t understand why I was so flustered by a voice that didn’t even contain my inner strength.

But strangely enough, the sound reverberated throughout the surroundings.

At Hanbin’s single word, the noisy market street became quiet.

People waiting for the winner of the betting round the street looked at each other quietly.

The look in his eyes was filled with the question of what had just happened.

The strange thing was that I could hear someone’s voice in my head.

And I could instinctively tell where the voice came from.

Someone spoke in a small voice.

“It sounds like some expert has shouted ‘After the Lion’.”

“Isn’t it too quiet for a lion? Strangely, I feel at peace.”

What they felt was not the fear of bluff.

Hanbin’s voice strangely gathered their attention.

That was when.

One of them tilted his head and looked at the person next to him.

“If it’s Lee Chang-hyun, isn’t it you?”

“Could you have called me?”

“Is there another Lee Chang-hyeon living in Jongho-hyeon besides you?”

“no way…….”

The middle-aged man named Lee Chang-hyun turned his head and looked at the place where the voice came from.

Then his name was heard again.

The middle-aged man got up from his seat at the sound of a strange voice that sounded as if it was calling from next to him.

He walked slowly, as if possessed, toward where the voice was coming from.

There was only one reason he came here.

I thought I’d try begging since someone had won a big prize.

He was working as a carpenter in the village.

But these days, there has been a lot less work.

If this continued, there might be spiderwebs growing in my throat.

I would bear it if it were just my own suffering, but my fox-like wife and rabbit-like child have been skipping meals these days.

The problem was that it seemed like there would be no work in the future.

But there was an even bigger problem.

It was the day when the interest on the Sacheondangga had to be paid.

Although Tangga was a source of hope for the people of Sacheon, he was cold-hearted to the point of making one shiver when it came to breaking promises.

He also heard that Sacheondangga was recruiting carpenters.

But I didn’t have the courage to go there.

This is because there was a rumor that all kinds of poisonous substances were crawling inside the walls of Sacheondangga.

No matter how much money you need, I don’t think you need to sacrifice your life for the Sacheondangga.

He was even thinking about leaving Sacheon until the morning.

The last thing that came to mind was to ask for help.

I thought it would be a good thing to help someone who had won that much money.

Now even that hope has been abandoned.

I never knew there were so many people who thought exactly like me.

He was just about to give up and turn back.

But then he heard his name being called.

He walked instinctively and looked at the owner of the voice.

A man in red uniform was looking at him with a kind face.

Of course, the man in the red uniform was Hanbin.

Hanbin smiled brightly and gestured.

“Are you Lee Chang-hyun from Jongho-hyeon?”

“That’s right. Why did you call me?”

“Have you ever borrowed money from Sacheondangga?”

Hanbin asked nonchalantly.

But Lee Chang-hyun opened his eyes wide and froze in place.

“Why do you ask that?”

At that sight, Hanbin looked at Dang Se-ryeong.

Dang Se-ryeong found a loan certificate and handed it to Han Bin.

Hanbin checked the loan certificate and showed it to the other person.

Lee Chang-hyun slowly stepped back as the loan certificate swayed gently in the wind.

Lee Chang-hyun, who was stepping back, stopped as if he had stumbled upon something.

widely.

Lee Chang-hyun looked back and opened his mouth wide.

A dark-skinned woman was standing there.

Then Hanbin said.

“Deputy Chief Shim, are you here?”

“Yes, my lord.”

After finishing speaking, Sim Mi-ho quickly handed over a letter.

Hanbin, who was talking to Lee Chang-hyun, quickly looked over the letter.

Then he looked at Lee Chang-hyun.

Hanbin, who was looking at him, said with a kind face.

“I didn’t come here to collect on your debt.”

“yes?”

When Lee Chang-hyun asked in surprise, Han-bin continued speaking.

“I have not come to receive money, but to hear the people’s situation.”

“What do you mean… … .”

“Are you having a hard time right now because you don’t have work?”

“therefore…….”

Lee Chang-hyun trailed off.

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t figure out what the other person was trying to say.

At that moment, Hanbin handed him the loan certificate he was holding.

Then he tore up the loan certificate.

Boohoo.

Lee Chang-hyun opened his eyes wide at that sight.

“What the hell are you doing?”

“You don’t owe any debt, so you can go now. You must be having a hard time these days because you don’t have any work… … No matter how meticulous the calculations are at Sacheondangga, I want to share the pain this time.”

Hanbin gestured with a friendly face.

Lee Chang-hyun opened his mouth wide at the sight.

Something happened that I never even dreamed of.

From that point on, the surrounding area started to become noisy.

* * *

More surprised than anyone else there was Baek Mi-rang, who was on the 9th floor of Manwol-ru.

Baek Mi-rang was confused by the unexpected sight.

I didn’t expect so many people to flock here, and I didn’t expect that the four lords of Habukpengga would be doing something so strange there.

You’re not even forgiving me a little bit of my debt, you’re just eliminating it!

That was the beginning.

The four Confucius of Hebei Pengjia began to call the people of Sacheon and consult them one by one.

They also forgive debts.

They even turned off the light altogether.

Some people were even given money.

Instead, he was getting their handprints as if to leave evidence.

Let’s just get rid of the light by getting a hand stamp, the interest in the winner of the bet has long since disappeared.

What on earth is the afterlife that the four great men of Habukpengga are spitting out?

No matter how much Baek Mi-rang thought about it, she couldn’t figure it out.

The problem occurred next.

Someone has discovered the true identity of the Hapyeongpaengga Confucius.

All attention was focused on the four princes of Habukpengga.

What the hell is going on?

Baek Mi-rang turned her gaze and looked at the wall.

There was a small ship there.

Baek Mi-rang, who had been looking at the small ship for a moment, shook her head.

Baek Mi-rang skipped a meal and looked out the window.

Now that the work was almost over, people were starting to disperse.

In the minds of the people gathered in the marketplace, there was no such thing as a winner in the stakes.

Baek Mi-rang called her escort.

Yang Ha-sam bowed his head slightly towards Baek Mi-rang.

“Your Majesty, have you called?”

“Both escorts should go down now and bring in the Lord Sa of Habukpengga as soon as he finishes organizing things over there.”

“All right.”

“And tell the kids to prepare for their final exam.”

“Understood, Your Majesty.”

Yang Ha-sam quickly left the place.

* * *

Hanbin, who had finished his work, shook his hands.

Thanks to the people who rushed in after hearing the rumor, there weren’t many loan certificates left.

Hanbin got up from his seat and turned his head as if to stretch his body.

At that moment, Dang Se-ryeong’s eyes met mine.

Tang Se-ryeong had now become a stone statue.

They never thought that Hanbin would pay off all their debts.

Dang Se-ryeong couldn’t understand Han Bin’s actions.

She asked Hanbin cautiously.

“Why did you do that, Prince Peng?”

“What about me?”

“This is the property of the Sacheondang family. But why is it… … .”

“To save workers.”

“What does this have to do with hiring workers?”

“Once upon a time there was a king. One day, the king went out hunting.”

Hanbin brought up a story she couldn’t understand.

“Why are you suddenly talking about the old days?”

“Well, I think it would be better to listen first and then ask.”

“Okay, then please continue speaking.”

“But during the hunt, the king’s horse was startled by a tiger and ran away.”

Dang Se-ryeong tilted his head as if interested.

“Did the tiger hurt the king?”

“How could that be? The problem was the words.”

“What’s the problem with words?”
