“Ugh… … .”
It was several more hours before Daegal came to his senses.
A doctor in a white gown was standing in front of Daegal Daegam, who had barely opened his eyes in his room in Byeoksusanjang, which was selected by the Dong-A Ilbo as the most luxurious house in Joseon (true).
“Your Majesty, are you of a certain mind?”
“Where is this…? Where is this…?”
“Ah, this is Byeoksusanjang. Don’t worry. Uh… … . First, we used some hemostatic agents and performed emergency surgery. I lost so much blood during the surgery that it almost turned into a big problem.”
“S, surgery… …?”
Daegal Daegam was startled by the word surgery and tried to get up, but for some reason his body would not listen to him.
“Surgery? Surgery? What do you mean?”
“Since he had difficulty coming to his senses, we performed an abdominal operation to see if there was a problem inside him, and sure enough, there was bleeding in his stomach.”
“Dog, dog? Bleeding?!”
When the doctor dared to open his stomach and perform surgery without his permission, Daegal threw a tantrum as if he was having a fit.
“Who gave you permission to perform the surgery just now?”
“Of course, you got permission from the police officers from the police department… … ?”
“what?”
“Oh, you’re here at just the right time.”
“What?!”
As soon as the doctor finished speaking, a grating sound like something sharp was scraping an iron plate from the head of the great lord.
“Your Majesty, are you feeling better? I was worried because you haven’t been able to come to your senses for a while.”
“… … .”
“Would you like to recognize me?”
A police officer wearing a pure white uniform with his face and neck wrapped tightly in bandages like a mummy thrust his face right in front of the chief’s nose.
The officer’s pitch-black eyes were as pitch-black as the pitch-black night sky he had once looked up at.
The night sky felt beautiful because it was not just pitch black, but also had twinkling stars, but the scenery was not as beautiful as the starry night sky.
Rather, it felt like looking down into a very deep well with no end in sight.
At the bottom of the deep well, where there must be nothing, I had an eerie feeling that someone was looking up at me from there.
The great sergeant stared at the creepy officer for a long time, then turned his head away in disgust.
“Eek!”
“Um… … Is Your Majesty feeling very unwell?”
“No. The surgery was successful.”
“Then why are you doing this?”
“Well… … . I don’t know about that either.”
“I don’t know… … . If I don’t know, is it over?”
“Huh? What do you mean… …?”
Officer Mira looked at the doctor intently and said a word.
“I wonder if it is right for a doctor to say that he or she does not know the patient’s condition.”
“yes?”
“I heard that these days, with public security being so bad, there are often people without licenses pretending to be doctors and committing fraud. Why am I suddenly thinking of those incidents?”
“Ji, what are you saying now? Are you doubting me?”
“I just blurted out what suddenly occurred to me. I’m sorry if you felt offended.”
“Ugh… … .”
The doctor was angry at the police officer’s behavior for openly questioning his career, but the other person was a police officer from the police department who sewed up a crying child’s mouth to stop him from crying.
“… … I’ll go back now.”
“As you please.”
There was nothing the doctor could do in front of this person.
“Listen. Listen, doctor! Are you going to leave me like this?”
“I did everything I could.”
“No, I said my body isn’t moving?”
“It looks like the anesthesia hasn’t worn off yet. You’ll be able to move again after some time.”
“What do you mean, just wait like this, sir? Sir, sir? Sir, sir!”
The doctor didn’t look back any longer, packed his medical bag, and left the room.
Now all that was left in the room were our great sergeant and an unidentified figure, presumed to be from the police department.
“Your Majesty, how are you feeling?”
“… … .”
An ordinary person would have felt threatened by the unknown situation, but our great lord was very familiar with such situations.
An unidentified person suddenly appeared and not only saved him, but also safely took him out of the police station.
He even wrapped his face tightly in bandages like a mummy, as if he wanted to hide his face.
Just looking at this, one person came to mind in the mind of the great lord Daegal.
“I’m asking just in case… What happened to the ghost of Gyeongseong?”
“Don’t you even read the newspaper? How long ago did that guy die?”
“Oh, Lord, he’s dead?! He’s dead?”
“Yes, this Miwa Wasaburo was sent to the Lord in one room.”
“You… … ?”
The great sergeant looked at the bandaged man with eyes full of suspicion.
“Um… … You killed the ghost of Gyeongseong?”
“Yes, so you can rest assured.”
At the bandage man’s words, the great lord nodded with a serious expression, perhaps forgetting his previous disgrace or perhaps trying to show his proper appearance belatedly.
“That damn bastard is dead. It’s like a ten-year-old illness has been lifted.”
“Is that so?”
“Yeah, I can’t even tell you how much money that guy took from me… … . It’s so much money… … . What kind of money is that damn ghost or bachelor ghost or whatever it is, and he’s taking all that money… … .”
“What did you say?”
“Oh, no.”
When he heard that the ghost of Gyeongseong was dead, Daegal expressed his joy in a ridiculously exaggerated tone.
It felt a bit unnatural for it to be a true feeling of joy welling up from deep within my heart.
Should I say that it’s as if he’s deliberately pretending not to know and then saying all the words he’s kept deep in his heart at once?
“You son of a bitch! You thief! You shameless bastard! You son of a bitch who thinks the whole world is yours!”
“… … .”
“A bastard who wouldn’t feel refreshed even if he were fried to death! A bastard who covets other people’s money! A miser like no other in the world! A bastard who deserves to be struck by lightning out of the blue!”
The angry swearing of the great lord continued for a long time.
The bandaged man, who had been quietly listening to that, finally couldn’t stand it anymore and interrupted the great sergeant and called him over.
“Your Majesty, the Great One.”
“Why, why are you calling?”
“It’s a little strange.”
“Hey, your tooth hurts? Haha! Then why don’t you go see a dentist? But… …?”
The great tyrant forced a smile while cracking jokes that didn’t work, but his eyes were shaking like the stocks fluctuating in the market.
No, it would be more accurate to say that it is more volatile than the stock market.
“Your Majesty, whenever I called you a while ago, I said, ‘Your Majesty,’”
“T, why is that… … . Ah!”
The nickname Daegal Daegam is a nickname used to mock Yun Deok-yeong, who has a large head that does not match his small body.
Naturally, no one likes a nickname that is meant to mock them openly, so Yun Deok-yeong hated being called Dae-gal Dae-gam.
He hated him so much that when his younger brother, Yoon Taek-young, jokingly called him “Big Brother”, he immediately grabbed him by the collar and fought him.
Thanks to this, the Joseon people felt the same way as Hong Gil-dong, who could not call his father ‘Father’ or ‘Bro’, and did not openly call him ‘Dae-gal Dae-gam’ in front of Yun Deok-yeong.
However, behind his back, rather than calling Yoon Deok-young by his name, they called him ‘that bastard’, ‘that pig’, or ‘his head’.
Of course, there was no one who could call him a great swindler in front of Yun Deok-yeong.
Just one person.
There was a man who called him “Daegal Daegam” in his presence and suffered no harm.
“Your Majesty, do you know who I am?”
“Wh, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Really? Um… … . That’s right.”
The bandaged man looked at our great lord and smiled.
“Your Majesty, you should start digging slowly.”
“Selling… …? What do you mean?”
“It’s stocks.”
“… … .”
“You should start liquidating your stocks and keep some cash on hand.”
“… … .”
The eyes of the great lord shook wildly.
“I don’t know what that means… … .”
Daegal Daegam tried hard to avoid the bandaged man’s gaze and continued to pretend not to know until the end.
“Your Majesty, it’s not fun anymore.”
“… … .”
“Would you believe me if I told you the password to another secret safe hidden inside your Majesty’s safe?”
“… … .”
“Oh, I forgot to mention this, I just took out 20,000 won for Daegal Daegam’s medical expenses.”
“What!? That’s the money I set aside to pick up when the Oriental Development Company stock price hits its lower limit!”
When the lord Daegal heard that someone had spent his money without permission, he became very angry and raised his voice.
As the anesthesia began to wear off, Daegal started swinging his arms and legs, which had become much more free, in a fit of anger.
“How could you save up that kind of money and just waste it…!”
“That is very strange. I only said as a joke that I opened your safe and stole your money, but you believe me so completely.”
“… … .”
“Your Majesty.”
The bandaged man pushed his face in again.
“A bastard? A guy who would get struck by lightning in a clear sky?”
“… … .”
The oily face of the great general was soaked with sweat, like groundwater bursting out of dry land.
“I think we need to have a deeper conversation. Don’t you think so?”
“… … .”
* * *
After a while.
Inside the most splendid room in Byeoksusanjang, Yun Deok-yeong’s room.
“Gasp gasp… … .”
“Your Majesty, I feel like my stomach is touching the ground.”
“Heh heh… … . I’m sorry, I’ll beg you like this.”
“Oh, your stomach is touching the ground. Please lift your waist again with strength.”
“Ugh… … .”
Daegal Daegam was absorbed in exercising in the middle of the night at an unexpected time.
He was in a plank position on a wool carpet imported from Persia, and the bandaged man who had just been chatting with him was sitting on his back.
“Your Majesty, I feel like the boat is touching the ground again.”
“Oh my… … . I guess using my body is like rat poison.”
“Since you usually avoid exercise so much, aren’t you going to have health problems? Here, one more set!”
“Ugh… … . What good is it for me to work out so hard at this age!”
“If you want to endure it well when you are locked up again later, you should train your body in advance.”
“Ugh… … .”
Daegal wanted to scream in pain, which he was experiencing for the first time since he was born, but his bloated body was too exhausted to even allow him to scream.
“Ugh… … . I’m sorry, please forgive me now… … . Please… … .”
“Forgiveness? What could there be for Your Majesty the Great to ask for my forgiveness?”
“Ugh… … . I… … . A little while ago… … . I thought you were really a police officer. I told you… … . Are you… … !”
“Haha, do you really think I’m acting like this because I was offended by a few words from the Great Master? Not at all.”
“Well, isn’t that right?”
“No. I am only personally punishing Yun Deok-yeong, a vicious collaborator who served the Japanese and sucked the blood of his fellow countrymen.”
“… … .”
In that moment, a chill ran down Daegal Daegam’s spine and his neck began to tickle.
“… … What do you want from me?”
“What do you mean? Hehe, I’m not a thief who’s interested in other people’s storage rooms.”
“… … Please tell me what you want! No, please let me help you with your work!”
“Work? I’m unemployed, so I don’t work.”
“No, you! Why are you doing this! Even though you knew everything!”
“I don’t know what you know. I don’t know anything.”
“Ugh… … .”
The two arms of the great sage trembled like the legs of a newborn gazelle in the Serengeti plains, and sweat poured down like rain.
“If you’re doing something like the independence movement, you’ll need something! I’ll do my best to help you!”
“It’s not like I need help from others to do my work.”
“Ugh… … If I step forward, the Governor-General’s officials will have no choice but to listen while making a fuss!”
“Is that so? Then, can I get a truck too?”
“Trucks? I can get you ten, no, thirty of them! If this Yoon Deok-yeong says so, the Governor-General’s Office will immediately rent them!”
“Hoo… … Then what about the warehouse?”
“A car, a warehouse? That’s not hard either! If you want, I’ll give you the huge warehouse at Byeoksusanjang!”
“hmm.”
Only then, as if satisfied, did the ghost descend from the Great Lord Daegal’s back.
At the same time, the body of the great sage also collapsed and he lay on the floor, gasping for breath.
“Heh heh heh… … . Gasp gasp… … .”
“You promised.”
“Yes, ten times, a hundred times… … . I promise… … .”
It seemed as if the great lord would lose his breath at any moment.
“Huk, huk… … . But what are you going to use the truck or… … . warehouse for?”
“Of course it’s to move something.”
“Move? What are you going to move?”
“It’s a bomb.”
“… … ?”
A bomb also exploded in the head of the great sage.
“I’m going crazy… … .”
“You look tired.”
“… … .”
The great lord had no answer.
He just passed out quietly, foaming at the mouth like a corpse.
As soon as Daegal Daegam fell asleep, the ghost, as if he had no other choice, took some money from his safe and left Byeoksusanjang.
When the lord came to his senses later, several wads of crisp cash, belonging to his close friends, had already disappeared from his safe.
“You are the greatest thief in the world!!!”
