Episode 744: Harsh Life

Like many great clans, the So clan was divided into various branches.

There are seven rooms in the So family, and the most important ones are the Great Room (大房) So No-tae-ya, the Second Room (二房) So-yi (蕭逸), and the Fourth Room (四房) Xiao-won (蕭元).

In the So family, these three rooms had the greatest influence.

They wielded great influence both in the court and in the military.

The third room, Xiao Ling, the fifth room, Xiao Xin, the sixth room, Xiao Zhen, and the seventh room, Xiao Ho, were very different from the three rooms above.

Although they did not have much say, they had a certain share, such as managing many of the So family’s industries.

This emergency meeting was called by surprise by Lee Bang and Sa Bang jointly, without the opposing sides having time to do anything.

The demands they made were simple.

Breaking ties with Im Buk-jin.

And their demand was to repeal the previous resolution appointing Soya as successor.

These demands were long-planned by the foreign powers and the four sides, and to unite and attack them in this way was a clear signal of an intention to seize power.

At this, the representatives of each room who appeared in the main hall also changed their attitudes.

“I agree.”

The leader of the three directions, Major, was the first to express his attitude.

“I support you too. Lim Buk-jin is dead.

He was a troublemaker from the beginning. He had already touched the messenger of the Central Empire Alliance delegation.

Not only will our So clan not be able to protect him, even the imperial family will be able to protect him. If we continue to be involved with him, the whole clan will be destroyed.”

The leader of the five directions, Soshin, also spoke loudly.

There were mixed opinions in the court.

At this time, Chilbang Soho could not hold back and burst into anger.

“Were our So family opportunists who changed their attitude depending on the situation?

“We’ve already sent out countless invitations for Soya to become the head of the household. All the nobles in the capital know this, so if you come now and ask, you’ll be laughed at in the capital.”

The foreign leader Soil let out a sneer.

“Isn’t it better to be a laughing stock than to have your family ruined and people killed? Doing this is also for the good of the So family.”

Chilbang Soho also said cynically.

“For the So family?

I know all about the dirty work that the foreigners and the four directions have been secretly doing for a long time. You only do things that harm public and private interests in the name of the So family, so how can you say that you are doing it for the So family?”

“That cheeky bastard!”

The leader of the four directions, So-Won, stood up, pounded the desk, and shouted loudly.

“Seventh, what does that mean? There is a limit to slandering others!”

Soho, the leader of the Seven Fronts, made a contemptuous expression.

He looked around and asked in an angry voice.

“You know what you’ve done. Don’t think that everyone else is deaf and blind.

Do you really think you fooled everyone, that Noh Tae-ya just left you alone because he found it annoying to deal with you?

If you were secretly making a profit, you would have just kept quiet, but now you are trying to interfere with the power of the So family!

Don’t forget, this So family was built little by little by Noh Tae-ya. If Noh Tae-ya weren’t here, what would you be?

“To try to seize power on such a topic, you have no conscience and are full of shame! You are all ungrateful people!”

“Seventh, you little brat… If you’re going to say something like that, then show me the evidence first. If you say something like that without evidence, you will be dealt with according to the family rules.”

The foreign leader, Soyil, spoke coldly.

Just as Chilbang leader Soho was about to refute, Noh Taeya Soyeon waved her hand and intervened.

“Second, tell me, what do you want to do?”

Noh Tae-ya asked Soyeon in a calm tone.

The foreign leader, Soil, said with a smile.

“It’s simple. Just abolish Soya’s right to inherit the family, expel her from the So family, and elect a new head of the family.

Hehe, I would like to recommend Xiao Si. Although she is young, she has more experience than Soya. If we do this, we won’t have to withdraw the invitations we sent to people.”

Sosa was the most outstanding figure among the new generation of foreigners.

“What do other people think?”

Noh Tae-ya asked other people’s opinions with a calm face without getting angry.

“I completely disagree.”

Soho, the leader of the Seven Fronts, said:

“Sosa is a man who has no talent other than eating and drinking. He has never been to the front lines in the military, and he has never been to a real battlefield. Even his position as a staff general was bought with money from a foreigner. What qualifications does a man like him have to inherit the position of head of the household?”

“I am in favor of Sosa taking over the family.”

The leaders of the four directions said:

“We also agree with the foreigner’s offer. Sosa is a good choice.”

The three-way commander, the five-way commander, and the six-way commander opened their mouths at the same time.

Five of the seven major clans agreed to abolish Soya and elect Sosa as the new head of the clan.

Only Daebang and Chilbang continued to support Soya.

“Haha, we won.”

The foreigner Soil started to laugh.

“It is rejected.”

So Notaaya spoke calmly and leisurely, without rushing.

Soil’s expression hardened.

Other people also looked at Sonotaya with blank expressions.

“The So family is something I created, so my word is law.”

So Nota’s expression was calm.

As he clapped his hands, forty fully armed soldiers entered the main hall.

They were all top soldiers in the army.

Besides, the person in the lead was a master of martial arts.

Most of the people in the entire hall felt a chill for a moment.

So Notaaya slowly got up, radiating majesty, and spoke in a solemn voice.

“When did I ever say that the House of Representatives could be voted on?

Second, fourth, do you really not know your own subject? You are still a long way from doing this.

“Convey my orders. The family will proceed as planned, and the candidates will not change. If you still have other thoughts, you should get out of the So family.”

“No Tae-ya……”

Soil, Sowon, and the others felt surprised and angry at the same time.

Is this the result of something you’ve been preparing for so long?

“Why? Do you have anything else to say?”

So Notaea looked at them with cold eyes.

Soil and Sowon suddenly shut their mouths.

It had been a long time since I had seen Noh Tae-ya with this expression.

The last time Noh Tae-ya made this exact same expression was on the night of the purge.

Originally, the So family had eight rooms, but after that night, it changed to seven rooms.

“This concludes the meeting.”

So Nota didn’t give anyone else a chance to speak.

He turned and left.

“The little things are running wild.”

Soho, the leader of Chilbang, left smiling.

Soil, Sowon, and the others stood in their places with pale faces.

“Why isn’t that old man dead yet!”

A young man with a distorted face cursed and gnashed his teeth like a wild dog that had lost its partner during mating.

He was Sosa.

As the seat of the throne flew away before his eyes, Sosa almost lost his senses.

puck-!

Soil raised his hand and slapped his cheek.

“How presumptuous. How can you curse at the master in front of others!”

“Grandpa, I…… was wrong.”

Sosa flinched as if she had regained consciousness after being hit in the cheek.

A sinister look crossed Soil’s face as he looked at the empty hall.

“Old man, this is your own death.”

He made up his mind.

“Fourth, you go and tell the other party that he agrees to the terms and to proceed as planned. We must get rid of that old man at the inauguration ceremony of the new head of the household in two days.”

Soil said with a sinister expression.

Then Sowon said happily.

“Second brother, you finally understand. That’s good.

Haha, with the Central Empire on our back, we can do whatever we want. Even the Emperor of the Northern Sea Empire won’t dare to do anything to us.

Hahaha, okay. I’ll go right away.”

So-won left the main hall in a fit of excitement.

Only then did Soil look back at his grandson, Sosa.

“Did the cheek you just got hit really hurt?”

“No, Grandpa, you hit me well. I wasn’t saying that in anger.”

“If you know what you did wrong, then that’s enough. You are the only grandson this old man has. I will definitely pave the way for you. I will take care of the wicked, so you will have to win the hearts of the people…

Don’t worry. In two days, you will become the new head of the household. So in the meantime, you must be careful about your conduct. And don’t go out drinking.”

“Yes, Grandpa.”

* * *

Thousand-person tower.

Galmu, dressed in blue, took a sip from a purple porcelain teacup in his hand.

His docile face looked very calm.

But inside, I was very anxious.

Because he lent all the capital he had to the stupid Joo Jun-nam.

It was also unclear when it would be possible to recover it.

“Don’t worry, this Joo Jun-nam will never steal your money. When I get back and prepare enough Hyun-seok, I’ll be the first to give it back to you.”

Joo Jun-nam, sitting on one side, beat his chest and gave his assurance.

“Your Majesty the Duke has a great family and much wealth. What should I worry about?”

Galmu said something different from what he really meant.

What a cruel life it is to live repeating things you hate.

“Haha, this time Im Buk-jin will definitely die. I can’t tell you how fortunate this is.”

Joo Jun-nam felt good, as if he had encountered something wonderful.

Galmu said nothing.

He rather felt a little sorry.

Imbukjin was a good seedling.

He is also strong in battle and has been recognized by the Lord of the Swords, and has even been granted magical powers.

It is unfortunate that he died so soon.

Knock- knock- knock-!

At the sound of a knock on the door, Galmu looked up at the vertigo correction screen in the control room.

“uh?”

A look of surprise appeared on his face.

The familiar spirit standing outside the Cheonin Tower was none other than Jangchuncheonin, Son Oh-gong.

How did he come here?

Joo Jun-nam also found him and spoke urgently, surprised.

“Let them come in quickly.”
