Black Corporation: Joseon Chapter 360

Episode 360: What increases when divided, work and swearing (2)

After receiving a round of scolding from Hyang, the noblemen had to retreat with a downcast look on their faces, taking their mats and axes with them. Hyang, who was seeing that, also turned around.

“Tsk! Even after that…”

They were noblemen who gritted their teeth at the words of Hyang, who openly belittled them.

The faces of the people who saw such noblemen around them were full of ridicule.

“Even then, in your hometown, you must have been a nobleman and put a strain on your neck, right?”

“Did you just strain your neck? “If you look at the female servants, you must have given them a lot of strength even in the beginning!”

“Fuhahaha!”

“You guys!”

In response to the laughter of the people watching around him, a nobleman holding an ax came up to him screaming.

“Hi!”

Several people who were laughing at the sight of the nobility with a fierce face as if they were ready to swing an ax at any moment screamed and backed away.

But others rolled up their sleeves and stepped forward.

“why? Your Majesty the Crown Prince said something wrong! Is it because the dirty part is revealed? Take a swing and see! But be prepared to break something or die.”

“These lowly things!”

As the scholar, whose face was red, raised his ax high, the men who were fighting also clenched their fists and lowered their waists.

At the moment of imminent action, a young nobleman who was watching nearby intervened.

“stop! What a disgrace! A man who is famously a nobleman wants to use violence! “It’s not even embarrassing!”

“Get out of the way! “Are you telling us to tolerate such lowly people insulting the noble class?”

“If there is a mistake, the mistake must be acknowledged! “Why do you want to use violence?”

“People like that who insult the noblemen are hard to beat!”

As the nobleman, holding an ax in his hand, shouted loudly, a local voice was heard from behind.

“Then I also insulted you, so are you going to beat me too?”

“omg!”

At those words, the face of the nobleman, who had been crying out for his life until just now, turned white.

‘I forgot! ‘You mean you didn’t enter the palace?’

The nobleman with a white face forced his trembling body to turn back.

Hyang was there with her arms crossed, glaring at him. And the noblemen who had been attending the branch appeal with him were lying on the ground and just watching.

In the end, the scholar in question threw the ax aside, bowed down on the floor, and asked for forgiveness.

“I have committed a mortal sin! “Please just spare my life!”

“why? “Why don’t you come at me with an ax too?”

“I couldn’t win the quarter and ended up showing my true situation! “Please forgive me!”

But Hyang’s criticism did not stop.

“The more one accumulates knowledge and disciplines, the more serious one becomes. But how can you call yourself a gentleman if you can’t control your anger and try to use violence at just a few sarcastic words!”

“I’m sorry! “Please forgive me!”

Seeing the scholar like that, Hyang turned his head and ordered Naegeumwi Villa.

“Take the author to Uigeumbu and report him. The crime was a crime of recklessly swinging a weapon and trying to hurt people even though many people were surrounding and watching. And I was among those who were targeted.”

“Lowering! Absolutely not! Lowering! “Please save me!”

The scholar, meditated by Hyang’s words, desperately raised his voice, but Hyang simply answered.

“The iron horse has already left. “Take me with you.”

“yes!”

“Lowering! Lowering!”

While being dragged around by Naegumwi soldiers, the scholar called for incense, but the incense was completely ignored.

“Do you also want to see Uigeumbu?”

“Oh no!”

The noblemen who were lying on the floor quickly took mats and axes and disappeared.

Hyang, who saw the noblemen disappearing into the distance as if running away, took a step and walked towards where the other protagonists of the incident were.

As the incense approached, the gathered people fell to the ground.

“You can stand up.”

“Oh my, how can these lowly people…”

Hyang smiled and continued as he saw the people answering while lying face down on the floor.

“I heard you argued well earlier, didn’t you?”

“Are you of the same rank as these gentlemen whose faces I don’t even know?”

Hyang immediately burst into laughter at the honest answer.

“ha ha ha! That’s correct! Okay! “I give you permission, so stand up!”

At the permission of the fragrance, the people who were lying down got up from the floor of Juseomjuseom.

Hyang, who was looking at the faces of the people standing there, said something to the men who had just been talking to the scholar.

“Are your bodies made of iron? “What are you going to do if you scratch the inside of the person holding the axe?”

The men smiled shyly and responded to Hyang’s words.

“It’s clear that you’ve never used an ax before. Do you have anything to be afraid of?”

“The arm holding the ax was shaking and I couldn’t even swing it properly!”

Hyang chuckled at the people’s answers, but did not forget his request.

“Still, your life is important, so call the police in that case.”

“Yes sir.”

“Then let’s each do our own thing.”

“Yes sir.”

After finishing the conversation with the people, Hyang looked at the scholar who had tried to mediate.

Was he around Hyang’s age? The scholar, who appeared to be in his mid to late teens, was tall and had a sturdy build. (Note 1) However, he must have been from a wealthy family, so the duruma he was wearing was full of signs of wear here and there.

Hyang, who was looking at him blankly, asked a question.

“Aren’t you scared?”

“I’m scared, but how can I just ignore a person called a nobleman terrorizing people with violence? As a student of the way of sage, this was not something I would just overlook.”

“You have great spirit. “Okay, what’s your name?”

“It’s called Resuscitation Hanmyeonghoe.”

The moment I heard the name, Hyang’s body instantly froze.

‘here!’

I met a person who was full of various evaluations, such as ‘Joseon’s greatest treacherous’ and ‘a rare fortune-teller’.

‘This is an opportunity! I’ll completely block anything that involves Jinpyeong!’

It was a scent that was judged in an instant, but further verification was conducted.

“What will happen to my father’s Hamza?”

“My father used Hangi-ja and served as an inspector of the Saheonbu.”

“is it? Age is?”

“I turn seventeen in October.”

‘Let’s see… According to the records I saw at first glance, Han Myeong-hoe was said to be the deceased’s parents, right? Considering that you said he was my father, I think that’s roughly correct. By the way…’

Hyang, who was analyzing the people and the situation, looked at Han Myeong-hoe with a small smile.

“It was a really good opportunity, wasn’t it?”

Han Myeong-hoe, who was momentarily confused by Hyang’s words, immediately lowered his head as soon as he realized the meaning.

Han Myeong-hoe lowered his head and felt cold sweat running down his back.

‘As expected, the rumors about the Crown Prince were true!’

The sudden action that was just taken was calculated by Han Myeong-hoe.

* * *

The family of Han Myeong-hoe, who was born as the grandson of Han Sang-jil, who was a founding contributor and served as Daejehak of the Yemungwan, fell when his parents, Han Gi and Yeoju Lee, died.

‘When the mutt of Jeongseung’s house dies, there are many mourners, but when Jeongseung dies, there is no one.’ As the saying goes, the fortunes of the family took a sharp turn when his father, Hangi, died young. Of course, they were not completely poor, but they were pushed to the outskirts of power from the reign of King Taejong, and their fortunes inevitably declined due to Han Qi’s early death.

Fortunately, with the help of his great-uncles, Han Myeong-hoe was able to learn Chinese classics and study under Ryu Tae-jae in Gangwon-do.

Han Myeong-hoe, who studied under Ryu Tae-jae and formed a friendship with Kwon Ram Seo Geo-jeong, recently returned to Hanseong.

“We must rebuild our fallen family!”

I made a firm resolution and prepared for the exam, but it was not an easy situation.

I appealed every time an issue arose in the hope of making an appeal, but it was not the answer that Joseon and the government wanted, as many things had changed due to the Kyeongjang, so I had to file an appeal every time.

Still, Han Myeong-hoe did not give up. He wandered around, trying to find out what the governor of Tang Geum wanted, and thinking about how to apply what he had learned.

In that process, this ‘partial revision of the past system’ was announced and there was an uproar.

“Are you for or against?…”

Han Myeong-hoe, who was worried about how to stand out rather than his own standards, stood up immediately when word about the branch appeal circulated.

“This is an opportunity!”

It was clear that those currently holding branch appeals were idiots who did not know the flow of time.

Those idiots were sure to cause an incident. And if you take advantage of that incident, you will be able to get a chance to reveal yourself.

Han Myeong-hoe, confident of his opportunity, ran to the front of Gyeongbokgung Palace and observed the situation. While he was waiting, Hyang arrived and a situation arose where he gave a reprimand to the noblemen who were holding a branch appeal.

‘Will this really happen? Or will it end like this? It can’t end like this…’

Did his earnest prayers work? One of the noblemen was so angry at the people who laughed at him that he picked up an ax and threatened the people.

‘It’s an opportunity! If you miss this, you will be punished by Heaven and Chu!’

Dok2 was scared, but Han Myeong-hoe jumped in front of the people and created a confrontation.

Thanks to this, I thought I caught the crown prince’s attention, but the crown prince already knew the true intentions of Han Myeong-hoe.

Han Myeong-hoe lowered his head and remembered what his father had said when he was young.

‘His Majesty the Lord is great, but Mr. Agi Won is even more great. If you go to public office, you will have to think twice and thrice before you act.’

* * *

The voice of Hyang was heard in the ears of Han Myeong-hoe, who was frustrated that it was an opportunity for conversion but failed.

“okay. Sometimes silence is a good answer. Plus… the ability to do water-sealing is also a good ability. Please stay here until Gwanghwamun opens tomorrow morning. ah! “You must also fill out the registration form and bring it with you.”

At Hyang’s words, Han Myeong-hoe unconsciously raised her head and looked at Hyang. Hyang, still smiling, continued.

“You will be able to prove in practice whether your ability is just a water room skill or whether you are truly capable. Do you understand what this means?”

Han Myeong-hoe responded to Hyang’s question by immediately kneeling on the floor.

“I will do my best!”

“Then see you tomorrow!”

Han Myeong-hoe, who was lying on the floor, did not get up until the scent disappeared inside Gwanghwamun.

When the scent disappeared and Gwanghwamun closed, Han Myeong-hoe stood up. The people watching the scene around him clapped and congratulated him.

“congratulations! lily!”

“congratulations!”

“Thank you, thank you.”

Han Myeong-hoe responded to the congratulations by bowing his head and quickly left the venue.

Han Myeong-hoe, who turned around the alley and was out of sight of people, clenched his fists.

“done! “It’s the beginning!”

* * *

Meanwhile, Hyang, who entered Geunjeongjeon to inform her of returning to the palace, was stopped by an unexpected situation.

“huh?”

Starting with King Sejong, all the ministers were looking at the incense with sparkling eyes.

“I am informed that Soja has returned.”

“Okay, good job.”

King Sejong answered lightly and got straight to the point.

“I heard there was another incident on the way back to the palace?”

“Yes, there are people who do not understand the meaning of Abama and the government and believe that only their narrow opinions are correct, so I said a word.”

“Good job. But that wasn’t the end, right?”

‘According to sources at Gyeongbokgung Palace, it’s as fast as 5G…’

With a bitter smile, Hyang immediately continued speaking.

“Yes, a foolish person among them used violence to intimidate the people, so we sent him to Uigeumbu. And among them, I met one person who was quite nice.”

“okay? “What kind of Ether is this?”

“It was said to be Han Myeong-hoe, a person of Hangi who served as inspector of the Constitutional Department.”

The ministers immediately remembered the introduction of the fragrance.

“ah!”

The ministers who searched their memories and found information about Hangi immediately reported it to King Sejong.

After hearing the ministers’ words, King Sejong stroked his beard and nodded.

“I heard that too. He was a talented person, but I thought it was a shame that he died young. So, what did the son of Hangi look like?”

“I don’t know the details of his character, but his ability to improvise appears to be the best. “He seemed like a person who could avoid the worst, even if it wasn’t the best, no matter what unexpected situation occurred.”

“okay?”

As Hyang’s words continued, King Sejong and the ministers’ eyes became brighter.
