Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 219. There is a standard for spending money,

Seok Woo-dae said with a displeased face.

“I am concerned about my nephew who suddenly popped out. You’re young, but you’re wearing a sword, aren’t you a Moorim? Do the Murim people care about other people’s eyes?”

The Seok brothers also shook their heads as if they agreed.

Because they also tasted humiliation at Lee Woo-seok’s house, they could understand Seok Woo-dae.

After thinking for a while, Seok Il-ham looked at his son.

“Woo-dae, you should visit Hyeongyang-hyeon once.”

“Are you Hyung Yang Hyun?”

Hengyang County is a city located one city town (two hours) away from Shizang Village.

Seok Woo-dae tilted his head when he suddenly heard that his father had gone to Hyeongyang-hyeon.

“Have you forgotten that Seok Gang-wol Hyeongryeong is Jaejong Uncle (father’s third cousin)? Go and say hello and ask to be sure to attend the wedding in fifteen days.”

It was my son’s second marriage, so I tried to quietly go through it, but it didn’t work.

If he called the prefectural government to raise the board, Lee Woo-seok would follow without hesitation.

Upon realizing his father’s will, Seok Woo-dae’s face finally brightened.

“yes.”

***

When five people sat together in a single room, the room was full.

“…that year my maternal uncle and aunt died. After that, I was left alone. If I hadn’t met your aunt here, I would have had to live as a wandering beggar.”

Along with the words, Lee Woo-seok grabbed the hand of his wife So-mi, who was sitting next to him.

“Ii is in front of the guests.”

Jang Mi blushed and withdrew her hand.

I laughed at the sight of such a married couple.

It’s poor, but I think it’s fortunate that Geumseul looks good.

“By the way, I heard Yu Hwa is getting married soon?”

The warm atmosphere at Yeon Jeok-ha’s words disappeared as if it had been washed away.

Lee Woo-seok looked at Lee Yoo-hwa and Yeon Jeok-ha alternately with a puzzled face.

He hesitated for a moment, not knowing what was going on and how.

“In the meantime, I received a lot of help from my in-laws. But I felt sorry for reaching out only to my wife’s family, so I took care of the village chief. The village chief is a generous person, so there are many people who have helped him.”

Wooseok Lee glanced at his wife at this point.

Although Seokjangchon consists of the Seok and Jang clans, the mainstream was the Seok clan. Most of the land belonged to the Seok clan, and there were a few Jang clans who cultivated the land of the village chief.

“As the money I borrowed for a year or two piled up, it turned out to be a lot of money before I knew it. In order to repay the favor, Yuhwa went to the chief’s house and was helping with the kitchen work. I didn’t object to oil painting, so I said yes.”

As soon as Lee Woo-seok finished speaking, Jang So-mi said a word.

“Is it because you like oil paintings? It’s because if I oppose it, I think the way to make a living will be difficult right away.”

“What do you mean? You and I are making a good living by selling wood and sewing for wages. Why is the way to live and eat so difficult?”

“You’re living well, so you borrowed money like that? How much did you borrow so much that you couldn’t even refuse and asked Yuhwa about that? Let’s listen while we’re talking.”

The eyes of the family all turned to Lee Woo-seok.

Looking at the atmosphere, it seems that no one knows about the amount.

After hesitating for a while, Wooseok Lee answered with a crawling sound.

“A little over three hundred hermits.”

“No, when did you borrow such a large amount of money? I didn’t even have to spend that much money!”

“Could it be that I borrowed it to do nonsense? When Yu Hwa became ill three years ago, the cost of the medicine was a bit high.”

Jang So-mi glanced at Lee Yoo-hwa.

Seeing that her daughter wasn’t too surprised, it seemed that she was somewhat aware of it.

Did he work at the village chief’s house and pick it up there?

As soon as their mother’s eyes met, Lee Yu-hwa spoke in a calm tone.

“Mom, I am fine. After all, everyone gets married once. And in Seokjang Village, there is no better place to get married than the village chief’s house.”

The situation is like this, so I feel like I’m being sold, but what about it?

She thought, ‘It doesn’t matter if I dedicate myself to my family’.

Lee Woo-seok looked at Yeon Jeok-ha with a confused face.

“As you’ve heard, I decided to marry Yuhwa to the village headman’s house for that reason.”

He nodded his head with a nonchalant face.

It must have been like this in the past, when the maternal grandfather and grandmother sold their mother to a 100-year-old man passing by.

Surprisingly, Yeon Jeok-ha didn’t ask more, so Lee Woo-seok asked.

“By the way, how have you been?”

Yeonjeokha tapped the sword hanging from his waist and said.

“My mother passed away while giving birth to me, and my father followed me when I was six years old. After that, I somehow learned how to sharpen a knife, and these days I am wandering here and there.”

He is an unreliable ronin who only listens to words.

Lee Woo-seok and his family accepted Yeon Jeok-ha’s words as they were.

Jang Mi muttered with a sad face.

“oh my. How much did you suffer at such a young age? Tsk tsk!”

“If you don’t have a place to settle down, you can settle down in Seokjang Village. Why don’t you try harvesting and selling trees or clearing a mountain with me?”

“I don’t think it is Seokjang Village.”

He refused under the guise of a rivalry.

Lee Woo-seok asked with a puzzled face at the refusal of the broken Yeonjeok-ha.

“why? Is there any other place that has been decided?”

“My mother was also sold here, but the atmosphere is like selling oil paintings to the village chief’s house. I don’t like a town where parents sell their children.”

“…”

Lee Woo-seok’s face was dazed for a moment at such a shocking statement.

Lee Woo-seok, who came to his senses, shouted with an angry face.

“Are you saying that I sold oil paintings at some point! Yuhwa said she would get married to that house! What kind of nonsense is that that you just listened to!”

Yeon Jeok-ha stared at Lee Woo-seok, who was angry.

“Outside.”

“say!”

“Is the sky covered by the palm of your hand?”

“What nonsense is that! Why are you saying that here and now!”

Yeonjeokha took out something from the backpack that was lying next to him.

It was a slip.

He held out a slip in front of his mother-in-law.

“It’s a slip of 1,000 nyang issued by the Continental Battlefield in Jeongju. Even if I give this to my uncle, will he marry Yuhwa to the village chief’s house?”

“….”

Lee Woo-seok looked at the slip and the Yeonjeokha alternately with a puzzled face.

Seok Woo-dae, the son of the village chief, is a man older than himself.

Moreover, the situation of sending him to his second wife.

Since his ex-wife died, he is not a concubine, but the village chief has children from his ex-wife.

Of course, it was an unwilling marriage, but it was not for sale as the old enemy said.

If you receive a slip here, it is tantamount to admitting that your nephew is right.

A village where parents sell their children?

you’re welcome!

It’s a marriage that you want for yourself.

Lee Woo-seok gritted his molars and resisted the temptation.

“Yes…”

This is the moment he is about to answer ‘yes’.

Jang Mi, who was watching nervously, hit his back with a ‘puck’ sound.

“Don’t talk nonsense! I took and used my parents’ money and the money the village chief gave me! Why are you refusing your nephew’s help? Even if you don’t owe the village chief, do you think Yuhwa will marry there? Do you think Yuhwa is as stupid as you?”

Lee Woo-seok, who was clenching his teeth, turned his gaze to Lee Yoo-hwa.

“Yuhwa. Did you really want to marry Seok Woo-dae because of debt?”

“If my father were me, would he want to marry me? With a man older than your father? Do you know that his sons and daughters are older than me?”

“So how many times have I asked for your opinion? I thought you really wanted to marry him.”

“No matter how many times I asked, it was always the same situation. Nothing has changed, so how can I say I hate it.”

“….”

“And the chief is a generous person? no. He never does anything to lose. Because I know that, I couldn’t refuse.”

Lee Woo-seok lowered his head and said nothing.

Due to his daughter’s illness, he owed a great deal of debt, and he couldn’t refuse the debt because of it. My daughter also accepted the marriage and thought it was a relief…

At that time, Lee Si-hwa, who was curious, picked up the slip and looked around.

“Brother, is this real money?”

“uh.”

“Wow! Is this worth a thousand? You were very rich! Are you really giving this to us?”

“no. You just asked. Even if I gave it to you, would you marry me?”

Yeon Jeok-ha held out his hand as if asking for it back.

Then, Lee Si-hwa handed over the slip with a bewildered face.

With a calm face, he put the slip back into his travel bag.

Surprised, Lee Woo-seok raised his head.

The thousand nyang slip had already disappeared before my eyes.

“Are you making fun of us because of money?”

“No.”

“Then what are you doing?”

“I don’t want to help a selfish person who sells out his family. You don’t give money to just anyone. I also have standards for spending money.”

“So I am not up to standard?”

“You know that.”

“Is it a sin to go into debt to help save a dying child? Didn’t I try to force Yu Hwa into marriage?”

“It is said that heaven helps those who work hard on their own. You shouldn’t try to settle your debt by putting oil painting first. show it to me The appearance of the foreigner working hard on himself. Then you never know. The slip might come out of my backpack again.”

***

The boundary between Fuyang and Huainan.

Cho Kang Ho.

Early moning.

Twenty-five samurai appeared on the lakeside.

Bankan is also with Lee Cheol-san.

Cheolsan Lee, who was looking around, said to the attendant of Yakdaemong.

“It’s definitely not Huainan, and there must be a base somewhere around here.”

“I’ll let the people go and find out.”

Yakdaemong Haengsu selected five of the upper warriors and sent them away.

The five warriors spyed on the village and its surroundings and returned around noon.

One of them spoke as a representative.

“It is said that unmanned people from outside are staying in this place called Daehyeop Banyajang.”

“Half-yard?”

“Yes, it is not too far from here.”

“Do you know who Zhang Zhu is?”

“Even the villagers didn’t know there. It’s just that someone else bought it last year.”

“How many did you say there were?”

“Since there are close to forty people, it seems to be the Byeokho Room and the Daebu Room.”

Cheolsan Lee nodded his head with a grave face.

Byeokhobang and Daebubang were third-rate rooms, so they were not afraid of being told that there were about 40 people in them.

“Let’s go.”

Did you walk for a meal (about 30 minutes)?

A large-looking manor appeared in front of Cheolsan Lee and his party.

The letters written on the signboard at the front gate are banyajang.

Gucheonno, who was looking at the letters on the signboard, also let out a quiet voice from Simtong’s mouth.

“Hmm!”

“Why is that?”

Lee Cheol-san looked back at his heartache with a puzzled face.

“It’s because the person who engraved the letters looks extraordinary. It’s unbelievable that a person with such power could be the owner of such a remote manor.”

“haha! Would you like to be as old as Sim?”

“Well, yes, but.”

He stiffly erected his neck with a proud face.

If I had been myself in the past, I would not have recognized such a state.

But now it is different.

Not only did he have an excellent eye, but he was confident that he could deal with even if the opponent was a long master of the Chillpai Gate.

Lee Cheol-san, who stepped closer to the gate, pushed the gate with his fingertips.

Kki-Ik-.

The heavy gate opened with a raspy sound.
