473. How Slaves Beget Slaves (3)

Seolhwa asked, seeming surprised by Hanbin’s words.

“What does that mean?”

“Since there is no one who memorizes the school rules, you will believe whatever I say.”

“Then maybe… … .”

“How could I know the rules of Yulim Seowon? Those who were fooled are fools.”

“Oh, I should write this down too. No matter how much I learn, I feel like I’m lacking.”

Seolhwa looked at Hanbin with respectful eyes.

Next to Cheonghwado, I am diligently writing down Hanbin’s words.

That was when.

I heard something rolling down the stairs.

Boom!

At that sound, Seolhwa got up from her seat and looked toward the stairs.

“Master, I will go and check over there first.”

“No. I don’t think it’s a big deal, so I don’t think you need to worry.”

“Well, I think someone fell down.”

“From the sound of it, it doesn’t seem like they’re seriously hurt. Well, as long as it’s not us.”

“That’s true too.”

After finishing speaking, Seolhwa took a sip of the steaming tea.

Cheonghwa was diligently writing something down without even drinking tea.

However, only the newly joined Sogun had his head bowed.

At that moment, a bundle next to Seolhwa caught my eye.

At that moment, So-gun got goosebumps.

At first, I couldn’t understand why so many pens and ink were needed.

I couldn’t figure out why they brought out food there.

But now I think I know why.

Maybe I had this outcome in mind before I came here.

The little boy muttered to himself without realizing it.

“Really dense… … .”

The little prince realized his mistake and quickly covered his mouth.

But it was already too late for Seolhwa to react.

“So-gun now understands the essence of the job.”

“yes?”

“Even if what we do seems sloppy… … .”

“It doesn’t look shabby.”

“Well, that’s fortunate. Nana and Cheonghwa both make plans and move forward. We checked out every store as we entered the town.”

The little prince swallowed his saliva at Seolhwa’s words.

Then the sound was heard again.

Crazy.

But Seol-hwa didn’t care and continued talking.

“It’s basic to rate every store.”

“Oh, the score.”

The little prince looked at Seolhwa with meaningful eyes.

It seemed like the secret of this group was about to come out.

Seolhwa smiled gently, as if satisfied with the sight.

“Yeah, points. In my case, when I arrive at a town, I give points to the stores selling candy from one to ten.”

“What about sugar?”

“Of course. In a case like this, you have to find a rice cake shop first to earn points.”

When Seolhwa turned her head, Cheonghwa nodded.

At that moment, So-gun opened his mouth without realizing it.

I thought you were going to tell me some big secret, but it turned out to be a story about food!

Then Seolhwa continued speaking.

“Our Confucius said so. It’s something we all do to make a living. Hehe.”

When Seolhwa smiled brightly, Sogun nodded without realizing it.

Is this something you do to make a living?

It was such a realistic statement.

At the same time, these were words that touched my heart.

I don’t know why that made sense, but I knew that if I ever found my lost memories, I would know.

That was when.

Jeomsoi brought out a plate.

He carefully placed the plate on the table.

Knock. Knock.

The plate was covered with a silver lid.

Because of this, I couldn’t tell what was on the plate.

Jeom So-yi, who had put down a few plates, bowed her head to Han Bin.

“Enjoy your meal.”

“Good job.”

Hanbin took the pouch out of his bosom.

Jeomsoi, who was about to back away from that action, flinched.

At that sight, Hanbin took out money from his pocket with a kind face.

“Well, it would be a shame if I just said thank you for your hard work. Here, take it.”

“Yes, thank you.”

Jeomsoi quickly accepted the money Hanbin handed her.

Then he opened his hand and showed a look of slight disappointment.

This is because the money Hanbin gave was a single iron coin.

For a moment, his expression changed as he looked disappointed.

He lowered his head as if it were about to touch the ground.

“Then enjoy your meal, Your Majesty.”

The sight made So-gun’s mouth taste bitter.

Because there was a proverb that vaguely came to mind.

The saying goes that those who have more will add more.

Although the point is small, Yang Seok-bong, who is groaning below, looks pitiful for some reason.

Come to think of it, it was a bit strange to be having such a casual conversation after pushing the other person off a cliff.

Of course, the character who fell off the cliff wasn’t a very likable character.

Why do these things seem like everyday life to those who see them?

The little prince felt strangely familiar with this atmosphere.

That was when.

Seolhwa let out a voice full of complaints.

“Confucius, isn’t it a bit shabby for the price of one bottle of night wine?”

“Quality over quantity.”

After finishing speaking, Hanbin opened the lid of the plate.

The first plate contained grilled fish.

Everyone who saw the dish couldn’t hide their disappointment.

No matter how you looked at it, it was an ordinary dish.

Although fish is rare in Gunja-hyeon, it was too shabby to be considered one of the dishes that could compete with the price of Yamyeongju.

At that moment, Hanbin picked up his chopsticks.

“Cheonnyeonhwari Guira… … . Would you like to try one?”

At those words, Seolhwa and Cheonghwa’s eyes widened.

The second dish contained seasoned hundred-year-old water parsley.

The third and fourth plates also contained food that was comparable to elixirs for Kang Ho-in.

It might be less expensive than the night liquor that Hanbin offered, but it was cheap to try all these foods in one place.

But the quantity was not that much.

As the plate emptied, Hanbin called out to Jeomsoi and whispered something secretly.

In that moment, Jeomsoi’s eyes widened.

Then he slumped his shoulders and turned away.

Seolhwa asked at that sight.

“Confucius, what did you say that made your expression look like that?”

“Actually, it wasn’t that difficult of a request… … . I just asked for another serving of the same thing.”

“omg.”

Snow covered the scream that was about to burst out with her hand.

The boy looked down at the floor without realizing it.

To be exact, it is not looking at the floor, but feeling sorry for the Yang Seok-bong group on the seventh floor.

It was clear that they had never met anyone like this.

These people were more vicious than the Sapa and more terrifying than the Protestants.

At this point, it wouldn’t be strange if Hanbin appeared to be a true ‘demon’ himself.

In fact, it was the first time I heard the name, but So-gun was confident.

Of all those in the current world, the person closest to the devil is the person right in front of you!

It may be that he came here because he was guided by the Holy Spirit.

The young man thought that this was a lesson to be learned when facing a real devil.

After a while, So-gun began to recall his memories.

It was because I had a vague memory of whether I had ever written a contract.

The young man, recalling his memories, let out a small sigh.

“phew.”

“Why are you sighing like that?”

When Seolhwa tilted her head and asked, Sogun quickly changed the subject.

“Oh, it’s nothing. I’m just hungry… … .”

“You shouldn’t be hungry. Your Majesty, should I just order another serving while I’m at it? I’ll go and be back.”

“Just wait a minute.”

“Confucius, why?”

“Just tell them to prepare three tables at once while I’m ordering.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Seolhwa ran to Jeomsoi with a big smile.

Only then did So-gun realize what effect his single word had on Yang Seok-bong on the seventh floor.

The thought that one word of mine could determine the fate of another sent a shiver down my spine.

In the new religion, you used to decide the fate of others according to your own will, but now you change the fate of others regardless of your own will.

It was when the little soldier was concentrating on understanding the situation with a serious expression on his face.

Jeomsoi walked slowly.

They just folded their hands politely, without ordering any additional food.

Instead, a woman wearing a cotton veil was following behind.

As Jeom So-yi stopped in front of Han Bin, the woman stood next to Jeom So-yi.

Then he took off his cotton swab.

“Please meet your Majesty.”

In an instant, exclamations came out from all over the place.

Seol-hwa pointed at the woman and shouted.

“Oh my, how did my sister get here… … .”

“Sister, when did you come?”

The woman smiled and answered their questions.

“I see you’ve seen someone who resembles me. My name is Geum Mi-rang, and I’m in charge of Gunja-hyeon.”

Everyone looked at each other for the answer.

For a moment, everyone nodded.

It was impossible not to know the woman’s identity.

Seolhwa asked cautiously.

“Are you by any chance the twins of Baekmi and Heukmi?”

“Did you meet your sisters?”

Geum Mi-rang opened her eyes wide.

At that sight, Seolhwa looked around and said.

“Yes, I met you. But I had no idea you were triplets.”

“Actually, there are no triplets. The exact number is a secret.”

Seolhwa opened her mouth at the sight of Geummi-rang smiling brightly.

Geum Mi-rang looked at Han-bin quietly.

“But how did you know the secret code of the Gunjahyeon Haomun branch?”

“I heard it from Lady Baek.”

“I’m amazed that you memorized all those secret words. Let’s move to a different location first.”

Geum Mi-rang guided them to another place.

It guided me to the 9th floor of Manhyanggak, not the 8th floor.

Seol-hwa, who was following behind, gently grabbed Han-bin’s sleeve with an expression of incomprehension.

“Confucius, do you know that if I have a question, I can’t even eat?”

“It goes beyond the sugar.”

“Oh, I’m really curious. When on earth did you send the secret message?”

“I said this in front of the gate of Manhyanggak.”

“At that time? When did you say that?”

Seolhwa tilted her head.

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t remember Hanbin ever conveying a secret message to anyone.

At that moment, Geum Mi-rang, who was walking ahead, smiled.

The secret word that allowed him to meet the head of the Gunjahyeon Haomun branch was the long explanation that Hanbin had recited at the entrance to Manhyanggak.

The secret language of Haomen here, as its name Gunjahyeon suggests, was tens, if not hundreds of times longer than the secret languages ​​of other branches.

Hanbin was the first to convey the secret message.

There is even an iron sign that means he is a guest of Haomen.

There were more than enough reasons for Geum Mi-rang to rush here in one go.

* * *

One hour later, on the seventh floor.

Yang Seok-bong took a moment to sigh.

The scholars gathered here urgently sent their men to the battlefield.

Thanks to that, I ended up with a satisfactory amount of money.

But most of the larvae had a shit-chewing expression.

Most of them followed Yang Seok-bong in pursuit of money and power.

But now he was in a situation where he had to empty his own pocket unexpectedly.

Yang Seok-bong, who saw the food money collected on the table, called Jeom So-yi.

“Here’s the money, so take it and go.”

“Oh my, Your Majesty.”

“Don’t make a fuss. This is not the first or second time we’ve been here. A bet is a bet, so don’t worry about it and put it down. And tell that guy that we paid the price, so the contract should be null and void.”

“That, that’s not it… … .”

“Hehe, didn’t I tell you not to worry too much? You don’t have to feel guilty about taking the money.”

“No, that guy added some food, so we’re a little short on money.”

“Hey, you added some food? How much is missing?”

“You’re eating the equivalent of four cans’ worth of food with that night drink.”

“Oh my, crazy. So pretty… … .”

Yang Seok-bong was left speechless.

Because Hanbin was standing there with a piece of paper fluttering in his hand.
