Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 272

King of the Rats (1)

The day after Ilmok met with the Left Guard.

A group of soldiers came to the grounds of Mireukmyeonggyo with a cart loaded with several boxes.

Ilmok, who was waiting in the courtyard of Mireukmyeonggyo, opened the chest and found it filled with silver and rice.

It was a reward sent by the Left Army Commander.

However, Ilmok did not ask the Left Guard for money as compensation.

That money was just a tool.

After confirming that the Left Guardian had sent enough money, Ilmok shouted at the followers of the Mireuk Myungyo who were watching from the vicinity.

“You must have heard about the plague. The plague was caused by dirty water. We at Mireukmyungyo will now begin construction according to the instructions of Elder Jwapojeongsa! We will divide the waterway that crosses Nanju and separate the water for drinking and the dirty water!”

It was a kind of water and sewage construction project.

Even in modern times, Ilmok, who was not a civil engineering official, did not know the specific methods or principles of water supply and sewerage construction.

I just wanted to differentiate them, even if it was in a primitive form.

In addition, his plan was to distribute work to the followers in accordance with the principle of ‘daily fasting and daily refraining’ that the Maitreya religion had always advocated.

‘Even if it was because of the blood cult’s sorcery, honestly, if you live with that kind of shit, you’ll probably get a plague that didn’t exist before.’

It was only natural that there was a murky river flowing around the slums.

People tended to live in places with water, and the clean upper reaches tended to be occupied by the wealthy and powerful.

Eventually, the powerless and poor poor had no choice but to live downstream, and use the dirty water that had already been used by others and flowed down.

The problem was that in the process, the slum residents could get sick, and the disease could spread throughout the village.

And this wasn’t just a problem here in Nanju.

‘If the bushes and people increase in Xinjiang, the same problem may arise someday.’

In preparation for that day, we will also have to carry out water supply and sewage construction in Xinjiang someday.

‘The water and sewage work being done here can be seen as practice.’

Later, it was a sight to see the cultists of Xinjiang casually devising a plan to be torn apart by the wheel of task.

Having announced the purpose of the construction and that all of this was possible thanks to the Zuo Pojeongsa, as always, he passed the work on to his subordinates.

“Please elect those who wish to undertake the construction. Oh, and tell the sorcerers to identify the water veins that flow through Nanju and draw up a map.”

Since there were no modern tools, it was advantageous to detect water veins and proceed with construction in line with the water flow path.

“Thousand years! Thousand years! Thousand years!”

“I didn’t know that the old man, the Left Guard, would care about us this much.”

As the followers of the Maitreya Buddhism joyfully praised the Zuopo Temple, Ilmok had an indifferent expression.

It was not a pity that the credit for the Maitreya teachings went to the Left Pojeongsa.

‘Since we have already established a base in Gansu Province, it would be better to maintain good relations with the Zuopojeongsa.’

It was much more comfortable than having the government pick a fight over every little thing.

Because of that, what should have been done by emptying the pockets of the Maitreya Buddhism is being done by emptying the pockets of the Left Pojeongsa.

* * *

At the time when Mireukmyeonggyo was busy preparing for the water supply and sewage construction.

“Elderly man, the left-wing commander!”

At the boarding station, voices were heard periodically calling for the left-wing officer.

“ha.”

The left-wing official let out a sigh full of annoyance and spoke to the official who had come to see him in a hurry.

“Have you also come here to talk about the Maitreya Buddhism?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

While the official hesitated at the unexpected reaction of the Left Guard, the Left Guard asked again.

“Where did you hear the rumor that the Maitreya Buddhism is a subversive group?”

“… That, that’s right.”

As the man answered, slightly hiding the letter he was holding behind his back, the Left Guard sighed openly and said.

“Just get out.”

As the official ran away, the left-wing officer took out a brush and paper.

“I guess I can’t just wait around for this.”

The left-wing monk muttered as he recalled the water supply and sewage construction project that the Mireukmyungyo had started.

In fact, he did not fully understand what kind of water and sewage construction the Mireukmyungyo was demanding as compensation.

To be exact, I couldn’t tell if it would really stop the plague or be of much help to the people.

However, the reason I accepted it was simple.

That water supply and sewage project, too, seemed like it could be a great achievement if only the words were put into it.

‘Construction work carried out by those who ‘stopped the epidemic under the instructions of the Left Army Commander’ to ‘prevent the recurrence of the epidemic and save the people’s livelihood.’

Even that construction was carried out ‘under the direction of the Left Commander’, so isn’t that a truly wonderful story?

Left-wing politician. He was not a man who cared much about the people’s livelihood in the first place.

If he was that kind of man, he would have taken some action from the beginning when the black gang called Nancheonhoe started to gain traction in Nanju.

He didn’t care when Nancheonhoe was rampant, and he stayed still when Mireukmyungyo pushed Nancheonhoe away, so the reason he came forward now was simple.

It was because I smelled something ‘public’.

Like most other officials, his top priority was simply his own promotion.

The only difference was that the bowl was different.

Unlike the foolish corrupt officials who simply take bribes through collusion and then return the bribes to seek higher positions, he knew how to see the big picture.

That is why, even though he was promoted to the position of second-rank Jwapojeongsa, he was aiming for a higher position.

‘I think it was called a waterworks and sewage project. I thought about it when I heard the news that they caught the plague, but they will be useful in the future.’

And Mireukmyungyo had a feeling that it would be of great help in his ascent to that higher position.

It was impossible to lose the Maitreya teachings because of such low-level slander.

Whirlwind.

He wrote letters one after another, sweeping his brush across the paper like a swordsman swinging his sword.

Several of the chapters contained statements that those who spread false rumors about the Maitreya Buddhism would not be tolerated.

It was a kind of warning to be shown to the officials of Gansu Province, including the Seungseonpojeongsa Temple.

And on some paper, he wrote down in one stroke of his hand the great achievements of the Maitreya Buddha ‘according to his instructions’.

It was a kind of report to protect the Maitreya Buddhism and publicize his achievements.

* * *

It took a few days for the water supply and sewage construction to proceed with the money provided by the Left-wing Government.

When the treatment of the plague patient was almost finished, a letter was sent to Ilmok.

[Found the rat’s head.]

After confirming the letter sent by Sam Sa-hyeong, Ilmok called Dam-bin and Guyang-mun into the hall.

Ichimoku opened his mouth after showing the letter to the two people.

“I plan to go out tonight.”

“I will prepare right away.”

At Dam-bin’s answer, Ilmok shook his head.

“Chief Dam-bin and Guyang So-hyeop, please remain here.”

“Your Majesty, even though I am pregnant, my mission is to assist you.”

Ilmok responded to her answer, which was full of a sense of mission.

“That’s why I’m telling you to stay. If we all leave, there’s a chance that Haomen will sniff us out. If the head that Samsahyung managed to find hides, who knows when another chance will come.”

“If you do that, wouldn’t it be okay to leave the others behind?”

“I am leaving Dambin Jojang as he is the most trustworthy. While I am away, please lead the Mireukmyungyo. In particular, the construction currently underway is important to our new religion.”

When Dam-bin made a face of incomprehension, Ilmok added.

They plan to practice water supply and sewage construction here in Nanju and then carry out water supply and sewage construction in Xinjiang in the future.

“The only person I can trust with a task like this is Captain Dam-bin.”

Dam-bin, who seemed to be thinking for a moment, soon bowed his head and showed his respect.

“I will follow Confucius’s will. I will record all the progress of the construction work that took place while Confucius was away, so that it can be applied in Xinjiang in the future.”

“Good idea.”

After finishing persuading Dam-bin, Ilmok looked at Guyangmun.

“Guyang So-hyeop, please also stay here and assist Team Leader Dam-bin. Team Leader Dam-bin will listen to reports from here in the branch office, give instructions, and organize the progress. Guyang So-hyeop will go back and forth between the site and Team Leader Dam-bin to coordinate so that there are no problems with the construction.”

Gu Yang-moon, who had been looking back and forth between Ilmok and Dam-bin with a thoughtful expression for a moment, soon lowered his head and answered.

“I will make sure to do so.”

After concluding the agreement to leave the two behind, Ilmok separately called in the men who were going to attack Haomunju.

Ilmok instructed them to prepare for the day. Each person should have a weapon to use, money for the journey, and extra clothes. In addition, they should take certain items.

And after one meal.

A group of about fifteen people escaped the dungeon under the cover of darkness.

* * *

After about ten days had passed.

The place that Ilmok and his party arrived was Nanning, the capital of Guangxi Province.

Absurdly, the destination was completely different from when we first set out.

Because Hao Wenzhu changed his residence periodically, his destination kept changing as he moved.

Ilmok, who had been in contact with Seo Wanpyeong while chasing Haomunju, met him and showed his respect by accepting a lottery ticket.

“Thank you for your hard work, Death Penalty.”

His already gloomy face had become much thinner.

Because I had to keep chasing someone while hiding, I couldn’t eat, sleep, or poop on time.

“As expected, in a chase, there will be no one in the Central Plains who would follow the death penalty.”

This time, it wasn’t simply flattery to appease the victim’s delusions about the death penalty.

I was truly grateful for his hard work.

“Hahaha. I’m so glad I could be of help to our talented youngest. But more importantly, youngest, what on earth happened to make you improve so much in such a short period of time?”

Seo Wan-pyeong was once again amazed at Ilmok’s growth.

I always thought the youngest was a genius, but at this point, things were really off track.

When he started chasing Haomunju, he was the youngest and was of the same level as himself, but now he couldn’t even guess at his level.

For Seo Wan-pyeong, who had been focusing solely on chasing Hao Moon-ju and had not been aware of the details of what had happened elsewhere, Ilmok gave him a rough idea of ​​what had happened.

The conspiracy of Cheonmabidong and the Blood Cult. And even the life-or-death battle with Biryonggakju.

“Not only did we find the remains of Bloody Heavenly Demon, but we also succeeded in getting revenge! This is truly a joyous event.”

Ilmok also smiled softly at the sight of Seo Wan-pyeong being happy as if it were his own business.

Immediately after briefly reminiscing about their long-awaited meeting, they headed somewhere under Seo Wan-pyeong’s guidance.

Nanning’s red-light district, which is as large as the capital of Guangxi Province, is located in the red shadows of the red-light district.

“That Haomunju is in that separate room over there.”

As Seo Wan-pyeong said this while pointing to the target, Ilmok looked at the nodding kiru.

“There are a lot of guests coming and going from Giru. Rather than launching a surprise attack right now, it would be better to take a break and then launch a surprise attack.”

This was to prevent innocent people from being dragged into the battle. Especially if an innocent person saw their face. In order to hide their identity, they had to kill and destroy even the innocent.

Ilmok and his party took a room at an inn near Giru where Haomunju was and began to rest.

Since he was already resting, Ilmok talked about various things with Seo Wan-pyeong.

The plague that occurred while Seo Wan-pyeong was chasing Hao Moon-ju, the visit of the Murim Alliance leader, and even the meeting with the Left Army Commander.

They were all important events, and since Seo Wan-pyeong was always moved, the story naturally became longer.

As time passed, it was about 3 to 5 o’clock in the morning.

“I think it’s time to start now, Death Penalty.”

At Ilmok’s words, Seo Wan-pyeong nodded in agreement.

Just before sunrise. The darkest hour. The perfect time to hunt the meanest rats.
