Cheongcheon asked me back with a dumb expression..
“ask for a will?”
“okay. On the condition that this incident be quietly covered up and the side effects of the blood magic attack are eliminated..”
“…….”
“I'm sure they haven't already torn it up or burned it.?”
Then things get messy.…….
Fortunately, Cheongcheon shook his head. The will seemed to be well hidden somewhere..
At that time, Cheongcheon shook his head with a stern expression..
“I have no intention of revealing the contents of the will. I would rather die than find out that that man is my biological father.…….”
“Tsk tsk. Why are people so naive??”
“……So naive?”
I clicked my tongue lightly and asked Cheongcheon..
“Is your name written correctly in the will??”
“…… That's not it. It was written as Heocheon, taking the person’s last name. He said he would pass on all his property to Heo Cheon.…….”
match!
I clapped my hands and said with a bright smile..
“really? Well then it's better.”
“What a good thing! A person can use the last name inherited from his mother as he pleases.……!”
Cheongcheon must have misunderstood what I said, but listened with a tearful expression on his face..
But that's not what I wanted to say.
“Your name is Cheongcheon. And what is written there is nonsense.?”
“……so?”
Grinning.
I couldn't stop the corners of my mouth from turning up..
The plan in my head was becoming more and more concrete, and the picture was being completed..
“Actually, it doesn’t matter if it says ‘clear sky’. There are only two people in the world with the same name?”
“no way…….”
Cheongcheon is not so brainy that even if I say this much, you can't understand it..
Cheongcheon noticed my plan and asked.
“You're going to pretend to be me and receive that man's inheritance instead.?”
It was correct.
I planned to become the person named ‘Heo Cheon’ written in the will and take care of the inheritance that the rightful heir gave up..
“It's not that difficult. It's possible with just a snail hat and a bast face mask..”
“…… Forging your identity is easier said than done. And if someone they've never met suddenly appears and offers to receive their inheritance, do you think they'll easily believe it? Of course I would do a background investigation.…….”
The ‘they’ that Cheongcheon was talking about were Lady Son, the owner of Jeokhwaru, and Bok Manchun, the bodyguard..
The two people who were the prime suspects in the murder of Old Man Heo and who were most close to each other..
Only by tricking them into handing over will you be able to get your inheritance without any regrets..
But I also had a plan for them..
Right in front of my eyes.
“Such frustration. who are you?”
“me? When I suddenly ask who it is…….”
Cheongcheon lowered his head and fell into deep thought..
I pummeled his head for his useless worries! I hit it.
He looked at me with an aggrieved expression..
“Who wants to answer the question of the nature of human existence? what is your job!”
“……Po, podu, podu..”
Cheongcheon answered somewhat uncertainly. But I really liked the answer.
That's right. Cheongcheon's job is podu..
Soldiers ignore podu because martial arts are of little value, but the value of podu does not lie in martial arts..
“This means that they are government officials who took and passed the civil service examination..”
“…….”
The highest security officer in the government office where Cheongcheon works is Captain Podo..
There are several Podo managers under them, followed by Podu..
When I say it this way, it may seem like I'm weak-willed, but Podu is the one who runs around the scene, investigates the case, and catches the culprit..
While carrying dozens of police officers under him..
‘In other words, it is the actual law enforcement position in the city..’
At first, Old Man Heo tried to call Cheongcheon and bribe him, but then he realized that he looked exactly like him..
So to get to the point,
“Selling a new card. It's not difficult?”
“that…….”
If you live in a city as big as Nanchang, you were bound to have quite a few connections..
No matter how clean and innocent Cheongcheon lived before killing Old Man Heo..
“All you have to do is vouch for my identity there..”
“her…….”
If you accept my offer now, Cheongcheon will become my accomplice..
From the moment it was discovered that I was the culprit, I was doomed, but from now on, I have become a community of destiny..
“choose.”
I didn't give Cheongcheon time to think for a long time..
“Are you going to cover up this incident cleanly and treat the side effects of the blood demon attack? or not…….”
I smiled coldly and continued speaking..
“Are you going to die after all the secrets you don't want to be exposed are revealed, taken to the Murim Alliance, and tortured to the point where you have to create memories that don't exist about the black-lipped man who gave you the magic gun?.”
“……There was only one choice in the first place..”
Cheongcheon looked at me with a pale face and slowly nodded..
* * *
The top floor of Jeokhwaru.
Mrs. Son smiled happily as she stroked the jewels and gold bars filled with the safe in her room..
“It's pretty. Really nice.”
In my life, I have seen many beautiful women and men, but they all grew old and withered without being able to withstand the passage of time..
But gold and silver treasures do not age, change, or betray..
Because of this, she had no choice but to love gold and silver treasures..
‘It's all mine. This Jeokhwaru and that legacy of inspiration!’
When she thought of the face of the dead old man Heo, Mrs. Son's expression instantly turned bitter..
‘A snake-like person. He died well. died well.’
It had been more than 30 years since she became Old Man Heo's concubine..
The hardships I experienced during this time were extreme..
I have been beaten many times and suffered humiliation dozens of times that I don't want to remember..
As Old Man Heo got older and became a little more docile, and his mind went back and forth, he got a little better, but the resentment that formed at that time only deepened and did not go away..
Crackling.
“……If that stupid son hadn't killed me, I would have killed him with my own hands someday..”
But she wouldn't have made a fuss like Heo Il..
It was possible to quietly add a drop of poison to a glass of wine..
‘I wanted to see your face trembling in pain before you died.…….’
It's a shame, but it might be better not to get your hands dirty..
She held the gold and silver treasures in her arms and muttered softly..
“……Now I just need to find the will.”
Old man Heo's only son, Heo Il, died (I don't know how many illegitimate children he had, but it was none of his business anyway.).
Old man Heo, who was born an orphan, had no blood relatives other than Heo Il. Jeongsil has also been dead for a long time..
In other words, the property he left behind had no legitimate heirs..
That is why you must find a will..
If you can't find it, you have to make it and find it..
‘All you have to do is leave the handwriting and seal to Hao Wen to forge it, bribe the officials, get the prettiest children and put them next to you.…….’
All rich guys are weak to women and money..
Roasting and boiling those people was easier than flipping the palm of her hand for her, who runs one of the top 10 restaurants in the male prostitution market..
“Ho ho ho!”
Mrs. Son felt like she was flying..
I was caught up in the idea that I had already taken over all of Old Man Heo's assets..
Until suddenly Cheongcheon Podu came looking for her..
Cheongcheon came with Bok Manchun, old man Heo's bodyguard, and a man he had never seen before..
Mrs. Son, feeling uneasy for no reason, asked:.
“What's happening here again?…….”
“Could you please take a look around??”
At Cheongcheon's request, all the workers left, and only Cheongcheon, Mrs. Son, Bok Manchun, and the unfamiliar man remained..
Cheongcheon delivered the news to them with his characteristic expressionless face..
“I found the will left by old man Heo..”
“yes?”
“what?”
Although he came with us, Bok Man-chun also jumped up from his seat as if this was his first time hearing it..
Cheongcheon gestured for him to sit down and continued speaking..
His expression was particularly hard today..
“I thought I should speak first to the two people who had a close relationship with the victim, so I prepared a separate meeting..”
At that moment, Mrs. Son felt her heart sink..
‘How could it be that Cheongcheon Podu, famous for its tightness, found the will?…….’
If Old Man Heo had written even useless information there, trouble could have happened..
I had that feeling..
“Suddenly it's a will…….”
Bok Man-chun was equally dazed..
He was employed by old man Heo, and after his employer died, he was no different from being unemployed..
Depending on what was written in the will, his future fate could have changed..
At that time, Fu Man-chun's gaze moved to the young man next to Cheong-cheon..
“But who is this person? Is it okay for me to listen to this conversation with you?…….”
“I am the heir listed in the will..”
“what?”
“what?”
Two people screamed and looked at the man..
He was a man with no more expression than Cheongcheon Podu..
He was quite tall, and his impression gave off a colder and cooler atmosphere than Cheongcheon..
“Nice to meet you.”
The man gently curled the corner of his mouth and spoke while holding his gun..
“It is called Heocheon. I brought my father's will.”
* * *
Cheongcheon summarized what was written in the will..
It was said that when Old Man Heo dies, he will pass on all his property to his son, ‘Heo Cheon’..
“nonsense!”
Mrs. Son got up from her seat with a bright red face..
“I can never admit it! The man I've never seen before is that person's son.!”
It was as expected.
Mrs. Son seemed to have no intention of giving up Jeokhwaru. On the other hand, Bok Man-chun watched with a cautious expression..
“In the first place, you don’t even know if that person is real or fake! And the will may be fake…….”
Cheongcheon cut her off firmly..
“I personally verified the authenticity of the will. the will is real.”
“Ha, but…….”
“I told you I confirmed it..”
“…….”
The heavy authority of state officials suppressed opposition from the grassroots..
“Ha, but…….”
Mrs. Son pursed her lips as if she wanted to say something, but Cheongcheon opened her mouth first again..
“The authenticity of the will has already been confirmed. I personally verified this person’s identity. If you continue to have doubts despite this, I can only think of it as distrust in the government..”
“Well, I didn't mean that..”
Cheongcheon acted much better than I thought..
I didn't know if it was because he still had a grudge against Mrs. Son who kicked out his mother..
Mrs. Son was taken aback by Cheongcheon's cold gaze..
‘I guess I should step in at this point..’
I politely asked for Cheongcheon’s understanding..
“Cheongcheon Podu. Could you please step aside for a moment? I'd like to have a quick chat with these guys..”
“……That's right.”
Cheongcheon reluctantly nodded. After he left the room, I opened my mouth in a low voice..
“My mother used to be a maid who worked in my father's house..”
“…….”
“…….”
I told Cheongcheon’s story in an appropriate adaptation..
The difference was that I grew up in a difficult situation in another city, and when I came to this city a few months ago, I happened to meet old man Heo..
“Like that... … . You must have had a hard time.”
Bok Man-chun clicked his tongue at my (Heo Cheon’s) sad story..
He was a very sensitive man, like a martial arts romantic..
“……So, I have a suggestion for you..”
‘The expressions of the two people changed when they heard the word ‘proposal’..
Mrs. Son had a very wary expression, and Bok Man-chun had an expression of half fear and half anticipation..
“I don't know much about business. I don't have the confidence to manage the businesses my father left behind..”
Old Man Heo was a big player in the usury industry..
But it wasn't just usury..
Giru, guest cup, tavern, top.
Even though it was nominal, he also had one..
It was too much to swallow it all in one bite..
So what I thought was,
“I need professional help.”
“…….”
I decided that rather than making my enemies, I would rather have these two on my side..
Even a mouse can bite a cat if pushed too hard..
However, when I gently coaxed and comforted them like this, they had no choice but to think about their own future first, rather than questioning my identity..
“I want to get rid of the usury business..”
This part was discussed with Cheongcheon in advance..
Cheongcheon said that making money by sucking the blood of the common people is unacceptable, and I agreed with that..
My motto in this life has been to not create anything that would cause resentment as much as possible, and to nip it in the bud if I am going to create it..
But other than that, the business will remain the same..
‘There is also an option to sell everything and use the money to buy elixirs.…….’
It is foolish to give up future benefits for immediate benefits..
I looked straight at the two people and said.
“Could you please help me in the future? What you do won't change much.”
Or get kicked out of here.
I didn't need to say anything, but there was no one in here that was that oblivious..
“All right. Please leave it to me!”
It was Bok Man-chun who answered first..
He realized that my suggestion wasn't that bad for him..
“……all right.”
It took a little more time, but Mrs. Son's answer was no different..
