The Party Will Not Fall - Chapter 10
Only Krnovel
His reasoning skills were outstanding.
Originally, I was wondering how he had pursued Dang Bi-hyeon so persistently in his life, but it seemed like the skills he had accumulated in the Chusaldae had played a role.
Dang Bi-hyeon focused on acting Yoo Hyuk.
“He had his throat cut.”
When I pointed to the escort, Chae Se-yeon’s gaze followed.
She pondered something and then bent down towards the corpse.
“Rest in peace.”
Then he went into the office.
Dang Bi-hyeon followed suit.
The office without a chair or desk felt empty even though both walls were full of bookshelves.
A few books fell to the floor, a dead red fish with a secret weapon in its hand, and a purple bundle that was extremely suspicious.
Chae Se-yeon saw her enemy first.
“There was torture.”
Two severed fingers supported her reasoning.
There was also a face stiffened with a pain-filled expression.
Chae Se-yeon closed his eyes and looked at the bedside.
Red words were attached to the bamboo tube.
Just like during the time of Min Seong-guk, the text reads, “No guilt.”
Unlike last time, when it was scrawled on the wall in large letters, it was written on a small piece of paper, but Chae Se-yeon somehow guessed that it was the same person from the majestic handwriting.
‘The Red Life has no connection with the extinction of the Tang Dynasty. why? ‘Why did you choose interest?’
I can’t hear the answer.
We have no choice but to figure it out on our own from the clues left behind.
Chae Se-yeon turned around.
“Hyuk. “Unpack that bundle.”
“yes.”
She checked inside the bag.
Chae Se-yeon took out the Myeolakjigeo mission list separately because the material of the outer cover was different, and checked the secret ledger first.
She read through the ledger and stroked her long straight hair.
It seemed like there was some kind of system, but I couldn’t figure out what it was.
Dang Bi-hyeon, who pretended to read intently, hinted at the correct answer.
“I think it’s a ledger?”
“A ledger?”
“yes. “When it comes to records that a merchant must completely hide, is there anything else other than the ledger?”
As Dang Bi-hyeon opened the water, Chae Se-yeon changed her eyes.
He even took away what Dang Bi-hyeon was holding and fumbled until he succeeded in interpreting it.
“If the same number of copies is repeated, is this a date? Then this is the amount… .”
Chae Se-yeon captured the big picture in an instant.
“For ten thousand years, for a thousand years, for a thousand years. Something that is small in number and characteristic enough to be expressed as a spiritual object… . “Is this a person’s name?”
Dang Bi-hyeon was in awe.
Chae Se-yeon, she has a natural talent for this.
Even though there were no clues, I couldn’t decipher any of the contents.
However, he showed insight into how the ledgers were organized in an instant.
Dang Bi-hyeon raised his evaluation of her to a higher level.
I thought he was the type with good sense, but it was more than that.
Chae Se-yeon opened her mouth.
“Strange.”
Dang Bi-hyeon looked at her as she closed the ledger.
“What is it?”
“You didn’t indicate whether it was money coming in or money going out.”
I was informed in advance of the conclusion I would reach anyway.
“It’s probably because it’s a ledger that’s only used for one purpose.”
“I guess so, right? Hmm.”
Chae Se-yeon’s thoughts were increasingly leaning toward ledgers.
I had a strong feeling that this encrypted ledger was a very important item.
It was then.
“You came first.”
“Ah, great lord.”
“Thanks to Cheonradan for sending personnel, we have more space. “We just need to focus on this case.”
Chae Hyun-hwa, the master of Chusal.
Upon her appearance, Dang Feixian quietly took control.
She approached Dang Bi-hyeon.
“There you are.”
“yes. “My name is Yuhyuk.”
“I’m sorry. “By making you busy from day one.”
“no.”
Chae Hyun-hwa patted Dang Bi-hyeon on the shoulder and turned her head.
The ledger in Chae Se-yeon’s hand was discovered.
“What is that?”
“It appears to be a ledger.”
Chae Se-yeon reported what she had investigated so far.
He did not forget to take care of Dang Bi-hyeon, saying, ‘Yoo-hyuk was of great help.’
“okay?”
“I just said a few words of help.”
“Hehe, there’s no need to be so humble.”
Immediately after receiving the ledger, Chae Hyun-hwa’s expression gradually hardened.
After going through all the ledgers, I let out a deep sigh and packed up my bundle.
“If an enemy closely related to the Murim League created a secret ledger, whose names would the spiritual objects in the ledger represent?”
“lender. no way… .”
“The ledger does not seem to be related to the murder. “I will take care of this matter, so you two can focus on tracking down the criminals who killed Jeok Saeng and Min Seong-guk.”
Chae Hyun-hwa left the office carrying a bundle.
It was a good thing for Tang Bihyeon.
Since Chusaldaeju has been omitted from the investigation, the investigation without evidence has become sluggish.
There was more time to prepare for the next goal, Moyong Bridge.

Murimmaeng underground.
A space where not only the general public but even the minions whose names are listed on the Destruction Destruction List are unaware of its existence.
A man’s feet were resting on a long table.
The candle on the table swayed precariously.
The weak light only showed him leisurely crossing his legs.
It was then.
“What brings you in so quickly?”
Jump and jump.
Chae Hyun-hwa, who walked from the entrance, stared at the candle and the man.
Her footsteps were calm, but a little nervousness leaked from her expression.
Even in this darkness, the man noticed the slight crack.
“We have no choice but to hurry.”
thud.
Chae Hyun-hwa put down the bundle on the table and tore it open.
He took out a ledger and threw it at the man’s feet.
the man asked.
“What is this?”
“… “You will know when you read it.”
Chae Hyun-hwa sat opposite the man.
The expression revealed by the candlelight that flickered in her direction was unusual.
The man opened the book.
The names of spiritual creatures listed out of nowhere.
An arrangement of Chinese characters whose meanings do not match at all.
One man adjusted his posture.
Chae Hyun-hwa waited, quietly looking at his invisible face buried in the darkness.
Finally, the man spoke up.
“Where did the ledger come from?”
“Red life recorded it. “I am the owner of Baekpo Sangdan.”
“… … .”
“Can you feel it?”
Chae Hyun-hwa continued.
“It must be a ledger of funds he provided us. “What would it have been like if this had been deciphered and made public?”
“Why are you asking such a question? “You must have worked hard to get it resolved.”
The man knew exactly what Chae Hyun-hwa wanted.
“I will report to him. “It almost caused a major disaster, but our boss Chae sorted it out well in advance.”
“Thank you.”
Chae Hyun-hwa bowed her head and expressed her gratitude.
While chewing my lower lip.

Warehouse basement.
After hearing the story, Howie Yang felt regretful and hit his knee.
“I even heard about the solution, but Chae Hyun-hwa stole Jeoksaeng’s secret ledger.”
“are you okay.”
Dang Bi-hyeon tapped his temple.
“Because I memorized everything.”
“Wow, that’s amazing. But wouldn’t it be difficult if you don’t have the original? “It would be good evidence proving the harmful effects of Cheonglimbu.”
Dang Feixian shook his head.
The secret ledger only proves the status of providing money to the people listed on the list of exorcists.
And the people listed on the list of exterminators are nothing more than idiots.
If we do not catch the leader and designer of the Ministry, the Ministry will continue to exist forever.
“There is no particular need. “This is not a problem that can be solved simply by proving the existence of the Cheonglimbu.”
Still, just in case, Dang Bi-hyeon stayed up all night copying the secret ledger.
* * *
A week has passed since Jeoksaeng’s death, but as expected, there has been no progress in the investigation.
It was a week in which only the poor bamboo and bamboo merchants were frying.
Dang Bi-hyeon did not hide his joy and shared the current situation.
“There is nothing for you to worry about. She actually gained Chae Se-yeon’s trust and took on a part of the investigation.”
“Then that’s good.”
Namgung Seobaek nodded.
The two were talking in a room in the Senate.
This room assigned to Namgung Seobaek was located away from major institutions, as if to keep him in check.
Still, I was glad.
The fact that they were meeting couldn’t be hidden, but at least there was no one here trying to secretly eavesdrop on the conversation with Namgung Seobaek, who had formed the anti-Rohwandong movement.
Dang Bi-hyeon said.
“There is something I would like to ask you.”
“What?”
“Please find out about Hyeongdang’s Moryong Bridge.”
Mo Yong-gyo was originally a person with an unusually low presence in life.
To my surprise, Dang Bi-hyeon could barely remember the name.
It seemed even more so because Hyeongdang itself was a facility with little outside activity.
At Dang Bi-hyeon’s request, Nam Gung Seo-baek smiled and took out two books.
“I already had something to give you.”
“What is this?”
“One is the organization chart and personnel information of the Murim League.”
I just needed it.
This was because it would clearly be different from the memories from his original life.
“The other thing is the structure of the Murim Alliance. “It even had a drawing of what the prison looked like, so I secretly brought it.”
“thank you.”
“But that’s true.”
Dang Bi-hyeon made eye contact with Nangong Seo-baek.
There was a bit of puzzlement in Namgung Seobaek’s eyes.
“In the name of the current Jigaekdangju… It says Dangyoung. “Check if it’s someone you know.”
A guesthouse where guests are entertained.
At a time when the Tang family was branded as a traitor to the political faction and was exterminated, it was somewhat unusual for a person with the Tang surname to lead the Jigaektang.
From the outside, it seemed like she should be taken down right away, but the Murim League left her alone.
In fact, the reason may be the weak power of the Jigaekdang, which has no authority other than to slightly add weight to the instructions given from above and execute them.
Dang Bi-hyeon said.
“She is my aunt.”
“Right.”
“But I’ve never seen you. “He was already an outcast when I was born.”
I traced back memories of my original life.
Jigaekdang, like Hyeongdang, had no external presence, so Dangbihyeon did not pay much attention to it.
However, there was one strong memory.
‘The day I was finally caught and taken to the Murim Alliance.’
I focused on the past, which has become a future that hasn’t happened anymore.
The words in my memory lingered in my ears as if they were reality.
When I closed my eyes, I felt like I could feel the rumbling of the convoy.
Dang Feixian from the past opened his eyes.
“Is that author Dang Bi-hyeon?”
“You said that even though your family was ruined, you didn’t give up and became the hound of the Demonic Cult?”
The sound of people walking out on the street and looking around.
I ignored it and raised my head.
Chae Se-yeon’s back was visible through her thick hair.
Although she was welcomed like a triumphal general, she rode quietly without even waving her hand.
The convoy passed through Jeojat Street and entered the Murim Alliance.
Praise from warriors standing left and right, encouragement from Murim lord Lee Yeop.
The bitter expression that Namgung Seo-baek secretly makes, and the characters in the list of Destroyers of Destruction who stare intently at Dang Bi-hyeon and laugh at him.
Dang Bi-hyeon watched it all.
Afterwards, we arrived at Hyeongdang.
The elite warriors of the Cheonradan, who were the ones who captured Dang Bi-hyeon alive, pulled Dang Bi-hyeon out of the escort carriage.
When Chae Se-yeon took the lead and entered the execution hall, the gatekeeper muttered.
“Now Mr. Tang is completely ruined, tsk tsk.”
“… what?”
Chae Se-yeon suddenly stopped walking.
Thanks to this, Dang Bi-hyeon was also able to stop.
When he raised his head, the gatekeeper chuckled.
“Right before you arrived, Dangyeong, the head of the Jigaek family, was executed. “He ran a private organization within the Murim League for personal advancement.”
“A private organization? Cheonglimbu?”
One of the warriors holding Dang Bi-hyeon flinched.
The flashback stopped there.
In the present, Dang Fei-hyeon opened his eyes.
Namgung Seobaek was talking.
“Why are you doing that?”
“it’s nothing. “I have to go now before the unit owner scolds me.”
“okay. “Be careful.”
Dang Bi-hyeon, who left the Senate, maintained a steady pace.
There was no need to continue reminiscing.
The gatekeeper frowned as if this was his first time hearing the name Cheonglimbu, and Dang Bi-hyeon was dragged away and thrown into prison.
And Dang Bi-hyeon died in that prison.
Dangyoung.
Dang Bi-hyeon thought over his aunt’s name.
Since his name was not on the list of exorcists, it was one of two things.
‘Which side are you on?’
