Lawmaker, Live Again - Episode 794
Chapter 794
We began to look around the secret underground warehouse in earnest..
“It's quite big.”
“huh. Even in Geumhyeolbang, if it is this size, it can be used as a large material warehouse..”
“All the boxes are opium. It is also of quite high purity. That means we have the technology and facilities to refine this.…….”
Where on earth did they get something like this?.
Since this is a world without satellites, helicopters, or drones, it would not be strange to say that a secret slash-and-burn farm has been created in the mountains somewhere..
But growing it and refining it into opium and distributing it are two different things..
“Well, shall we take a look? This is what we specialize in.”
Jin Tianxi nodded at Sima Xuan’s words..
“Yes, thank you. No matter how high-ranking the family, it would be almost impossible to bring something like this without a trace..”
Even if you want to hide it, if you have this much stuff, you have no choice but to get caught up in it..
Jin Cheon-hee scratched the back of his head..
“First of all, I need to find some ledgers for this. Are you going to be busy? first of all… … Confiscate all this opium.”
Jin Tianxi said with a cold expression..
Seeing his brother like that, Sima Hyun thought..
‘My brother was very angry?’
It is a prestigious family with a high reputation in its own right. You will know better what it means to sell opium with your own hands there..
‘I'm more angry than when the quack was running around giving fake vaccinations..’
And the person involved is too big..
* * *
moonlit night.
Sima Xuan is walking in the dark..
The clothes were uncharacteristic of him, plain casual clothes with no patterns..
Nevertheless, the reason it feels a bit sophisticated may be due to the unique atmosphere..
He takes out a bast cotton ball from his pocket and sweeps his face with his sleeve..
Wow-
In that split second, my face changed..
No one noticed the change in the young man..
The young man headed straight to the guesthouse..
Jeomsoy welcomed me..
“Welcome! Do you need food or accommodation??”
“Give me a room. A well-ventilated room with two windows.”
The young man's voice had suddenly changed into the rough voice of a warrior..
He was a ronin himself, as if he had lived on a daily basis for twenty years..
“There's a room like that right now.!”
Jeomsoi rubbed his hands as if he was tired of dealing with such a ronin..
I followed Jeomsoy up the stairs and a room appeared..
When I entered the room, there was someone already waiting inside..
A young man wearing glasses is sitting at a table and drinking tea..
His glasses chain was made of gold, giving it a fancy feel, but at the same time it also had a unique intellectual feel..
Hao Wen Ju. Red Ryu.
“Meet Moonju.”
Sima Xuan still spoke in a husky voice..
Hong Liu glanced at Sima Xuan..
Geumhyeolbang, Hongrugak, Tudomun, Osal tribe, gambling group.
Among them, he is from the Red House and is currently in command of all of Haomun..
“Long time no see, Somoonju. As expected, Hwahu of Heavenly Bianmangong has reached the Ten Saints. No matter how much he wears a bast mask, you are the only one who can turn into a 'other person' like that..”
“That's too much praise. Didn’t you also learn it??”
Hearing Sima Xuan's words, Hong Liu smiled and lit a cigarette..
Phew-
Smoke filled the room..
What he drinks is different from the medicinal herbs sold on the market. It is speculated that it is related to his martial arts skills, but we do not know for sure..
It's that kind of place.
Hao Wen.
Although they do not trust each other like political factions, there is a strong bond between them that is difficult for others to understand..
Otherwise, Haomun wouldn't have been able to survive for so long..
Even so. It is extremely difficult to run and move this chaotic place..
One important thing. Does it have that much power??
Hongryu said.
“well. The teacher disappeared without teaching me all the martial arts... … . In fact, I even doubt whether I learned Cheonbyeongeommangong properly. Isn't that right? Priest (師弟))?”
The death penalty.
When Sima Xuan first realized that Hong Liu had learned the same martial arts as him, he was more skeptical than happy..
And that feeling was still the same.
Sima Xuan was standing, and Hao Wenzhou was sitting..
We looked at each other for a moment..
Sima Hyun said.
“Master Seok didn't teach me much, but.”
He died without telling any story about himself and only teaching Sima Xuan the Heavenly Transformation Sword Mangong..
“But didn't you teach everything about Heavenly Bianmangong? Because they only taught me the first half. I just envy the priest. One day, the priest will inherit everything from me..”
In this way, the two unintentionally became in a relationship due to Mr. Seok..
“Now, please sit down..”
“yes. Lord Moon.”
Sima Xuan sat opposite Wen Ju..
“Show me your face.”
“As ordered.”
As soon as Sima Xuan's face made a crunching noise and he wiped his face with his sleeve, Sima Xuan's face was immediately revealed..
“Hehehe. also… … . Master likes beautiful women..”
“Cheonbyeon Geommangong has said countless times that the original face is important. Since you have to keep changing your face, you'll be less crazy if your face is good-looking.~”
“Like other Buddhist temples, Cheonbyeongeommangong is a martial art that becomes maniacal if you learn it deeply. I think Master believes that if you have confidence in your face, it will remain the center of gravity no matter what you change it to in the future. Now that I think about it, I don't think it's wrong..”
Paradoxically, the most important thing in Cheonbyeongeommangong is not how quickly you can change your face..
No matter what you change into, you never forget your original face..
No matter how high a kite flies, it must have a thread to hold on to so it can return without getting hurt..
Cheonbyeongeommangong can not only change faces, but also steal voices, actions, and eventually even the images of warriors..
If they get there, those with a weak ego will quickly get caught up in it and begin to suffer from mania..
His memories begin to become more and more confusing, and eventually the ego of the person he was playing begins to blend in..
It was such a terrible thing to even copy a warrior's image..
‘Usually, like other magicians, their energy and blood are distorted and they die, but sometimes genius overpowers it and only madness appears..’
It's truly a talent that only comes along once in a hundred years.).
I heard that even if you don't die from reflux of blood due to your genius, you should already give up your role as a human being..
If you repeatedly try to protect yourself without being able to protect yourself, you will continue to lose your memories..
Later on, I don't even remember who I am or what I do..
It's literally something like a living echo..
What next? If it gets even crazier there?
I can not know.
Neither Master Seok nor the person who taught him Cheonbyeongeommangong had ever seen anyone go that far in their lives, and even the previous steps were said to have been passed down only through word of mouth..
That's why even Master Seok, who has been careful from the beginning, sometimes goes crazy..
Like other Sapa magicians,.
Even he said that he had lost himself several times..
So you should never forget yourself.
Now, Sima Xuan had two people to hold on to..
No matter how handsome your face is, if there is no one around to see it, you will not be able to return..
Even if he was immersed in the depths of dark madness, the place where the stars shine was the place he would return to..
Sima Hui (暳)).
The Chinese character used in the name is also Hye (暳), which means twinkling stars..
Once you've found a place to return to, all that's left is to go back..
Find happy and happy memories and easily trace them back to your original state..
Jin Cheon-hee (喜)).
Even the name has joy in it.
No matter how much he imitates a peerless expert, Sima Xian always chooses his original self..
Remember what's truly precious.
That was also the reason why there was less mania compared to Sima Xuan's achievements..
Of course, I'm not grateful for that..
If I hadn't learned the Ten Thousand Swordsmanship from the beginning, I wouldn't have even had to get involved with Hao Wen..
With my brother's guidance, I would have been able to live as I wanted more freely like Hye-ah..
‘If I had known it was a martial arts skill with such a history, I might have made a different choice..’
However, I know that meeting my brother was an unprecedented luck..
There must have been something for a child to live alone in Hangzhou..
‘So, if I didn't know such martial arts skills, I might have died before then..’
In one way or another, Tianbian Jianmangong served as a way for Sima County to protect itself at the bottom of Hangzhou..
Grandmaster Seok probably knew that, which is why he didn't mention it when he was teaching..
“The old man had a tendency to do that. But why didn't the teacher teach the second half to my brother?~?”
In some ways, this is a bold question that can be seen as a provocation. However, Hongryu did not show any signs of anger and only smiled faintly..
“He said I don't have enough acting skills..”
“Hmm~”
Is it real? There may be other causes he didn't mention.
Sima Hyeon completely distrusts anyone other than Hye-ah and his brother..
But he held his chin and had the same expression as always..
I only believe in half and let the half go..
That's the next Hao Wenju Sima County's method..
Hongryu continued..
“ruler. Let's stop talking nonsense. The reason I came directly is because of the information you requested about 'opium'..”
“yes yes~”
“Just to conclude: Well, you guessed right..”
He exhaled deeply..
The room was filled with the scent of medicinal herbs. Eventually, he continued speaking slowly..
“This large amount of opium was brought in through pirates. After Haesabang disappeared. Rather, the sea has become an uncontrollable area and various pirates are running rampant. At the same time, here and there, officials who were 'more than a little' corrupt are drastically increasing their trafficking in opium and pirates..”
Like a chain, when one thing falls, the others begin to fall as well..
“That's how the game works.~”
“The reason I asked you to focus on the sea side. It's probably because you guessed all of this from the beginning.?”
“Yes, because there was no place other than the sea to bring something like that in. But then, the strange request I received probably had a reason.?”
Was it really sent by the emperor?.
So why is this a strange ‘request’ rather than an edict or secret letter?.
Even though it was a request that only a very small number of Hao Wen knew about, the format was very strange..
‘First of all, I knew the motive. The emperor is the one who benefits the most from this gambling game..’
Hao Wenzhou said.
“If we assume it is true that you were sent by the imperial palace, then you are the right person for this opium matter. It will be difficult with just the Osal Tribe and Geumhyeolbang..”
‘Hmm, one board was put together amazingly well.~’
Sima Hyun taps the table with his fingernails and is lost in thought..
Five tribes. And Geumhyeolbang.
The strongest armed groups within Haomun are actually these two. Even so, it pales in comparison to the armed forces of other major factions..
With such a huge amount of opium discovered, those caught will move to survive..
I couldn't imagine how high-ranking people were behind the head of the strange family caught this time..
And of course, the goal of those high-ranking people is Governor Jin Cheon-hee..
Even the emperor is assassinated in the Fire Empire..
Isn't it common for a governor who was doing well to die one day by drowning, or getting caught in the throat while eating rice cake, or being stabbed to death by a wild boar while out hunting?.
Even though I created a human barrier as a guard, when I died, I fell asleep and died..
Therefore, Sima County calculates..
This is not the way to find the truth, like Jin Cheon-hee, by laying paving stones as if playing baduk, reading the opponent's heart, and making one's own moves one by one..
Rather, Sima Xuan's reasoning is like weaving cloth..
Read the picture that appears as you cross the warp and weft threads..
It involves a little evidence, a little inspiration, and a little experience..
If there is an alternative path, imagine the interesting one..
imagine, imagine.
That's Hao Wenju's successor and the way of Sima Xuan, the leader of Guangmen..
At the bottom of Hangzhou, at a young age, I had no money to read the scripts or scores of other Peking operas, so I had to deduce the entire story on my own..
It doesn't matter if it's wrong. As long as it's fun.
The finished story was often similar to the original opera, and sometimes even more interesting..
Is the conclusion reached at the end of this imagination really interesting??
The habits from my childhood are still with me today..
‘If the emperor's design is correct, then the design itself is plausible. That's why things fell through with the school called Hao Mun. Jin Tianxi, Sima Xuan, Hao Wen and Wu Lun Hui... … . There's Baekrin's Pavilion.’
This is a good opportunity to use my brother to completely destroy the opium that has entered the empire..
If you are involved with the Imperial Eight Streets, this is your chance to blow your nose without using your hands..
But aren't the fish biting the hook and the bait safe being two different problems?.
If the emperor plans to use his older brother again, it would be right to attach him as a bodyguard..
‘That's a cool picture. It's also efficient. Human emotions are somewhat excluded, so it's like an imperial situation without blood or tears..’
And another one.
‘With me in the middle, it's a perfect picture for me to die while protecting my brother..’
Sima Xuan smiled bitterly..
