Episode 187. Justification (3)

After calming the lady down for a while, the teacher left the room.

The air that had been warm inside the residence had suddenly turned cold outside.

The teacher’s mind was also like that.

The fatherly love that was as gentle as a spring day froze cold in front of the name of the head of the school song.

No matter how much you cherish your daughter, she cannot be more important than your family.

With hundreds of family members all looking up to the king, he couldn’t sacrifice all of his family members just for one daughter.

The instructor took a deep breath and calmed himself down. Then he approached the restless soldier outside and spoke quietly.

“I have a favor to ask of you… Would you please listen to me?”

Then Son Ga’s private frowned and shook his head.

“No, this is also an abuse of authority! The moment this reaches your lord’s ears, both you and I will die. What kind of request is this?”

The instructor hardened his expression at the unexpectedly rough rebellion and pretended to threaten the private.

“Huh, then I will go to the General and confess everything. I will say that I met the Lady with your help! Do you think the General will like this? It happened without the General’s knowledge?”

The soldier’s face hardened when he was threatened despite helping.

“Ah, no…!”

“So, please grant the old man one request. Just deliver the letter, just one letter, and receive the item they give you.”

“No matter what, there are family rules….”

The private still shook his head, but the instructor caught the wavering at the end of his words. When it seemed that the private would come over if he pushed a little harder, the instructor spoke in a gentle tone.

“Just give this letter, just give this letter to the Kyo family who stays in Geon-yeop. That’s all. If you just give this letter, the family will give you a generous reward.”

The private, who had been pretending to be deeply contemplating, nodded his head with difficulty.

“…All right.”

***

I burst out laughing when I heard the private’s report.

That would be so, if you listen to what Jiao Gong says, isn’t he a very warm father to his daughter? However, the Jiao Gong I know is not that kind of person. He enjoyed sweet power under Sun Ce, so he must know the current situation.

‘I also know that if I protect the father, the school song will be destroyed. But I still act like a good father to the father… There must be something there.’

At that moment, the private took out letters from his bosom one by one and continued speaking in a trembling voice.

“And the Master of the Kyo Gwangrok asked me this favor. Please deliver this letter to the Kyo family near Geonyeop….”

When I opened the letter, I couldn’t help but laugh. The content was so concise, yet so cruel.

I asked the private with a small smile.

“Do you know what is written in this letter?”

Then the soldier who was lying on the floor spoke in a very frightened voice.

“No, I haven’t opened it.”

“okay?”

-Ha-dun (河?) Mil (密).

These few words clearly revealed the teacher’s firm determination.

Hadun, which in other words refers to puffer fish.

Puffer fish are fish that frequently appear in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

In this day and age, there was a rumor going around that eating pufferfish would lead to death, but it was said to be a fish with excellent taste.

Judging from the fact that he secretly asked for the puffer fish, which was famous for its poison, to be brought to him… it seemed that the king wanted to save his family more than his daughter.

‘Well, it would be a natural choice for today’s powerful families.’

I answered with my lips tilted up.

“Okay. Leave the letter here. And tomorrow or so, smuggle some puffer fish to the instructor. Do you understand?”

“Yes, my lord.”

This simple phrase written in the teacher’s handwriting.

The teacher probably wrote this letter in his own handwriting, thinking it would be passed down through his family.

That’s ridiculous. The Kyo family will be completely destroyed by this one letter from Kyo-gong.

‘There are many excuses you can come up with. Like he plotted to poison the Lady of the Sun family… or he tried to poison me… .’

And the moment I thought about this, I smiled faintly. How could I keep this interesting news to myself?

The person who was going to be poisoned should have known that too.

***

The next day, as the afternoon slowly passed, I headed to Son Ho’s residence.

I pushed aside the maids of Sonho who were hesitating at the entrance to the residence and said as I went inside.

“Is Jungho there?”

Then, suddenly, a young boy’s voice and a rustling sound were heard.

“Brother, brother, are you here…?”

As I looked down, I saw the figure of a young boy with red eyes, Jung-ho. It seemed that he had been crying endlessly, just as Won-young had said.

I opened my mouth to that hand gesture.

“I came here because you skipped meals and cried all day and night. Why do you skip meals and just cry all the time?”

“…I keep thinking of my late father….”

Even while he was saying that, Sun Ho was crying and shedding tears of sorrow. Of course, as someone who had only been treated badly by Sun Ce, it was a sight I could not understand at all.

“Hmm, no matter how much I think of the General. How much the late General loved you! But do you really have to ruin your health like that?”

“I’m sorry, brother….”

“Well, the General must have loved you so much. I can understand why you feel so sad when you think of him.”

I continued speaking, looking at Son Ho with a gloomy expression.

“More than that…. This guy Woo-hyung brought me some pretty exciting news…. Would you like to hear it?”

This is truly precious news that you wouldn’t hear even if you paid money.

This would be especially true for Son So, who is mourning the death of his father.

A father-daughter relationship on the brink of poisoning, what an interesting story.

As I stared blankly at him, as if waiting for an answer, Son Ho spoke with a worried look in his eyes.

“…What’s the news?”

I said lightly, one corner of my mouth playfully raised.

“This is a story about a father and a daughter. It’s about a father who decides to sacrifice his daughter to save his family… and the daughter who finds out about this…”

Son Ho’s pupils grew as big as lanterns, and a sigh of shock escaped his lips.

“Yes, yes?”

“I wonder what choice the girl in this story will make. What do you think?”

“I’m curious about the cow, cow system too….”

“Then follow me. I have prepared a place where you can hear the news vividly.”

Just then, as the dark spiderwebs began to descend upon the ground, I led Sonho toward the priest’s residence.

‘I wonder what choice you will make after seeing these two women.’

In fact, each of these little pleasures was a small gift to me living in such an uncivilized era.

***

That evening.

The teacher headed back to the daughter and the teacher’s quarters. The teacher, who had made up his mind, opened his mouth with a pretended good-natured smile.

“Come on, come in. I’ve prepared some of your favorite foods.”

As the teacher said, all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas were spread out on the teacher’s table.

There were an abundance of noodles and pastries made from precious wheat from the north, as well as various grilled meats and raw fish.

But the face of the priestess who saw the sashimi seemed to stiffen for some reason. Then she said.

“…Yes, I will enjoy it, Father. But before that…. How about a drink I prepared? It’s the drink that my husband used to enjoy.”

The eldest daughter’s remarks, as if she was thinking of herself.

The teacher felt sorry inside.

I have to kill my daughter who cares so much for her father with my own hands. But… I had to make up my mind to save my family.

‘Everything is for the survival of the family. When Jung-ho becomes an adult… This father will do whatever it takes to get revenge… Please do not think of me as heartless.’

Contrary to his rotting feelings, the teacher opened his mouth with a bright smile.

“…Yes, since you’re following me, what drink in the world could be sweeter than this! Then, let’s drink the drink you prepared for us after such a long time….”

Then, the priestess who had brought alcohol from somewhere started pouring alcohol for the priest.

The teacher emptied his glass in one gulp, swallowing the bitter regret in his heart. After drinking the glass heartily, the teacher said.

“Hmm, this is definitely a good drink…. Are you saying that the dead general enjoyed drinking this kind of drink?”

However, the wife looked at the teacher with a cold gaze, as if asking when she had ever smiled. The teacher suddenly felt uneasy at the sight of his daughter, who had been acting completely different from her friendly attitude just a moment ago.

“…Why is there no answer to my father’s question?”

Then the priest’s cold voice filled the room.

“Did you really want to kill me that much?”

The teacher’s heart sank, but he quickly pulled away.

“What, what are you saying? What do you mean? Why would I want to kill you! I don’t know who told you that… Are you saying that you don’t trust this father?”

The priestess took out a bamboo slip from her bosom and threw it with a cold laugh.

And he glared at his father and teacher with a poisonous gaze.

“This bamboo slip of paper! My father’s handwriting is written in full detail on it. Do you still plan on taking it off?”

The bamboo strips were thrown to the ground and rolled around on the table, revealing the pent-up irritation of the church elders.

When he saw the familiar bamboo slip in front of him, he barely moved his disobedient hands to open it. Then, he was so shocked that his heart dropped.

How is that bamboo slip in my daughter’s hands? It must have been delivered properly by Songa’s private soldiers… .

At that moment, a lightning bolt struck the instructor’s mind.

‘Could it be that this was all a trap?’

Despite his confusion, the old teacher’s brain was working briskly.

‘Where did it start, where and to what extent was the trap?’

Could it be that the very act of entering the daughter’s quarters was a trap set by Sonso?

Rather than that, if I die here… .

The teacher’s face turned pale as he easily guessed the future.

A daughter who poisoned her father, and a father who tried to harm his daughter.

Either way, it was an excuse for the once prosperous school to fall into ruin. This was truly an unfilial act that the Han Dynasty could not dare to tolerate.

‘It would have been a cleaner ending if he had committed suicide… But if it’s decided to be poisoned…’

The school song was over.

After thinking this far for a short while, the teacher was about to open his mouth.

Her lips, which had become as heavy as a thousand pounds, did not move even for a moment.

The priest stared indifferently at the teacher who was trying to say something.

“Isn’t it really contradictory? My father, who tried to kill me with Hadun poison, ended up getting poisoned by Hadun poison instead….”

“eww….”

“Now that half an hour has passed…. it will be difficult to say a word. Father was here for half an hour…. and then it will be concluded that he was assassinated by Baek So.

In today’s construction industry, no one hates their father as much as Baek So… More than anything, I will make it happen.”

The face of the priest who spoke like that was as colorful as a colorful poisonous plant.

But for a teacher who had some idea of ​​the truth of the incident, it was truly a story with no answer.

‘… You idiot! Why on earth would that letter have been delivered to you!’

But the echo in the teacher’s mind did not reach the teacher’s wife at all. Only the teacher’s mind circled around like an echo.

The priest looked down at the cooling monk and declared.

“Goodbye, Father. Thank you for taking such good care of me. Thank you so much.”

There was a lot he wanted to say, but no words could come out of the addicted teacher’s mouth.

Then, the teacher’s eyes slowly began to close.

‘The school song will fall from my generation…’

I couldn’t blame anyone for the poisoning, it was my daughter who was poisoned.

***

Outside the door of the priest’s residence.

I asked the little boy below, Sonho, quietly with a cheerful smile.

“How was it? Was it quite an interesting story?”

Son Ho’s face, having heard the vivid story, turned white like clean snow that no one had stepped on.

“Ah, ah…. Oh, how…. Mother….”

As you can see, Son Ho was also very moved.

The sight of tears streaming down his face was a typical example of someone who was deeply moved by a performance.

I patted Sonho on the shoulder like that.

“Okay, let’s go in. As a guest, shouldn’t I at least say hello to the host of the play?”
