Episode 427A past linked to the Four Gods (2)
ââ¦.â
None of the people standing between Datak spoke first.
The atmosphere was heavy. The silence was frustrating.
How much time has passed like that?
The first to speak was Jongmyeong.
âNot to mention the fact that he came without notice and took up the time of an official who was busy working.â
Jongmyeong saw Tamgyeong.
He was the only person smiling here. Rather, the innocence of a child could be seen in the way he looked around from time to time to see if this place was interesting.
âHow did you find out about this person and bring him here?â
He said it was this person.
Jwapojeongsa of Seungseonpojeongsa is the highest-ranking official in the paper class. This means that it is the core of local power that does not need to treat others because of their age.
If these words come out of such a personâs mouth, it means that they already know each other well enough.
Yeon Ho-jeong said.
âI thought it would be better to show a martial artist bringing in and persuading people who are difficult to manage rather than suppressing them.â
ââ¦Iâm telling you clearly.â
Jongmyeongâs eyes became cold.
âDonât you think that your attitude makes you see your group as a dangerous group?â
âI donât think thereâs any need to wear a mask to an official who already considers the martial arts people themselves to be a risk factor.â
Jongmyeong frowned.
âI think itâs a matter regardless of what my ideology is.â
âWhether that ideology is right or wrong is not my concern. âThe important thing is that you are ignoring countless ways to make Guangdong a better place to live in the name of protecting the future.â
âReality is just reality. âIt is the duty of management to work tirelessly for a better future and a better life.â
âAt the same time, isnât it also the responsibility of management to take care of the lives of many common people living today?â
âI never thought of myself as someone who wasnât capable enough to learn the responsibilities of a manager from a martial artist.â
âIn that case, I have no choice but to judge that it is a huge mistake and at the same time lacks the skills to be an official. âIt is said that being a scholar is something that even a three-year-old can learn from, but you have no awareness of learning anything from someone else.â
Jongmyeongâs stiff cheeks trembled.
I donât know anything else, but I donât think I can overcome it with words. It was a painful experience for him, who was an outstanding administrator and had never been left behind in any negotiation, let alone administrative issues.
Yeon Ho-jeong said in a calm tone.
âI tell you clearly, Guangdong is wrong now. âIf you were truly for Guangdong and the country, you would not have let those rotten assassins run rampant for over ten years, and you would have realized long ago that the Baekdo factionâs martial arts faction was losing power.â
âIt looks like you want to put all the blame on me.â
âNow I see that not only was he not in the mood to learn, but he also developed the bad habit of only listening to what he wanted to hear.â
âyou!â
Jongmyeongâs voice grew louder.
âI will not tolerate any more indulgence! A country has national laws, laws, and regulations! âThe state does not select officials for nothing!â
âIt would be better to admit what needs to be acknowledged first, rather than talking back.â
âDo you really want to be locked up in prison?â
âYou are a failed administrator.â
ââ¦!!â
It is a word that flies like a sharp dagger and sticks in your head.
Failed administrator. That simple and clear modifier caught Jongmyeongâs mouth shut.
âIt is said that the boarding and commanding officers have clear rights and responsibilities and do not interfere with each other at all. So, it may be too harsh to see it as your fault that Guangdong Province has come to this point. Howeverâ¦.â
ââ¦.â
âAlthough you may be judged to be not bad in terms of financial and foreign affairs administration, you clearly failed in passive administration such as order and welfare.â
ââ¦.â
âEven if the three powers are separated, looking at the current special characteristics of Guangdong Province, it seems that the assassinâs case, Jehyeonganchalsasa, should be criticized the most. âNevertheless, the reason I came to you is because the left and right positions are the first to capture what the grassroots want.â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes became sharp.
âThe real but fantasy-like world of martial arts was seen as dangerous and something to be rejected, so it was not accepted as part of the administrative target. If there was even an intention to eliminate it, I donât know, but I left it alone, and parasites were breeding in that gap.â
ââ¦No matter what you say, I have only one thing to say.â
Jongmyeong said with a very red face.
âI will no longer tolerate crossing the line. âYou saved my life as a left-wing governor, so Iâll treat your rudeness as nothing.â
ââ¦.â
âGo back. The government will take care of the affairs of the country. âDonât even think about interfering anymore.â
Then Inspector Tam said:
âThat friend Zhou Gak said this before.â
For a moment, Jongmyeongâs face froze. Probably because of the name Plinth.
Inspector Tam said calmly.
âSmart people donât need to be stubborn, but as they get older, they become more stubborn than anyone else.â
ââ¦.â
âBeing stubborn is not necessarily a bad thing. The problem is that it is a sin for the operator of any organization. âIf youâre stubborn, your perspective gets narrowed and you canât think about worrying about anything else.â
Jongmyeong spoke in a whisper.
âEven if you mention his name, I will neverâ¦â
âAre you afraid? Are you afraid that I will put pressure on that friend and get you into trouble?â
ââ¦!!â
âEach person has a different personality and different abilities. âBut looking at you now, it seems like you live for yourself and not for Guangdong.â
âElder.â
âThat canât be seen as a bad thing either. Arenât management people? The problem is, for your own sake, you should have paid more attention to the public sentiment in Guangdong. If I wanted to be higher than I am now, I should have stayed up all night managing Guangdong to avoid causing any trouble. Why? âBecause thatâs why you get paid so much.â
ââ¦.â
âAmong your superiors, there are many fools and greedy people, but there are also many people who are kind-hearted and discerning.â
ââ¦?!â
âDo you know what I mean? âEven though you eliminated countless political opponents from the bottom to your current position, it means that your current politics are clearly problematic.â
Jongmyeongâs eyelids fluttered.
Tamgyeongâs voice was much calmer than Yeonhojeongâs, so much so that it sounded leisurely. But the weight of those words was tremendous.
âWhether it was to achieve your ambitions or to fulfill your duties as an official, you should not have left the administration of Guangdong like this. âI am not very knowledgeable about administration, but at least I understand that your mistake is not a small one.â
âIâ¦â
âDonât you want to admit it? Are you afraid that it will be a blemish on the history you have created? âShouldnât you have done that?â S~eaÊá´h the NôvelÆire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
ââ¦!!â
âWhat has already happened has already left a stain on your history. Then there are two things left. âEither you show great skill to cover up that stain, or you step down from that position.â
Those were terrifying words.
Get down from that place. These were not words for an old man who was not an official and had even left the influential Shaolin Temple.
However, Jongmyeongâs complexion was extremely pale. Inspector Tamâs words did not sound like he was just saying them.
Yeon Ho-jeong said.
âIf I had known you were such a stuck-up person, I wouldnât have saved you.â
ââ¦!!â
âDoes this sound radical? It doesnât matter. âWhen I think of the common people who are screaming even at this hour, the officials who did not do their jobs properly should have nothing to say, even if a hundred mouths are used, and even if a thousand necks break, they cannot be absolved of their sins.â
Yeon Ho-jeong looked to the side.
There was a fire station with a lot of blades standing there. Her appearance, with both hands tied with chains and a grim expression, looked like a Raksha (ç¾ å¹) sword.
âDo you know who this woman is?â
ââ¦?â
âThey are the remnants of a cult called the Saeui Saeumgyo. And the Saeum Church is joining hands with a group called the Shinhwa Church to overthrow the martial arts and the imperial family and take control of the central plains.â
âWhat?!â
Jongmyeong looked at Firefighting in surprise.
Firefighterâs face became even more distorted. He was offended by Yeon Ho-jeongâs words that Saeumgyo were a bunch of cults.
âAnd the assassin we killed was also a ganja dispatched by the Saeum Church. âHe served as a blockade of the southernmost part of Central Plains in the war that would take place in the future, and at the same time lived as a force capable of providing support troops in case of emergency.â
Flash!
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes became extremely cold.
âThis is whatâs happening in the world you didnât see and didnât want to see. And itâs going to continue, and itâs actually become too big of a deal to touch on right now.â
âIs that really true?!â
âWhat on earth were you doing?â
âI asked if it was true!â
âI will not tell lies in a place where I am shaking the rotten head of an official who is as good as a left-wing official.â
âOh no!â
Jongmyeong suddenly stood up.
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
âDonât even think about telling anyone. Their magic has already spread to the highest levels.â
ââ¦what?â
âI mean, keep your mouth shut. The moment you make a mistake about that agenda, you will be killed without even realizing it. âWe will dispatch assassins ten times more terrifying than the assassins who have been by your side for seven years.â
ââ¦!!â
âAlso, if you mess around before then, I will kill you first.â
The corners of Yeon Ho-jeongâs mouth rose.
âDo you understand? âWhy are we telling you this?â
ââ¦.â
âYou canât escape now. As this old man says, itâs one of two things. Either keep your mouth shut and take care of Guangdong properly, or die here.â
ââ¦.â
âIâm glad I donât have to tell you to watch your mouth any more since youâre a person obsessed with self-preservation anyway.â
Yeon Ho-jeong buried his back in the chair.
âIt seemed like he was in communication with the Eun family. Letâs start from there on the way to save Guangdong. Let me tell you in advance, do not have any further illusions that your administration will work well without the help of Guangdong Wulin. âI believe he is not that stupid.â
Yeonhojeong did not only stop by Seungseonpojeongsa Temple. With police officers and firefighters, we visited the provincial commander as well as the Jehyeonganchal envoy for five days.
What I learned in the process was that Tamgyeongâs presence was greater than I thought. Even the most powerful people in each department could not even say a word in front of police officers.
Additionally, since there was a fire department, it was very easy to get things done. If Yeonhojeong laid the plan first, Tamgyeong was persuaded, and finally, Firefighterâs presence was a turning point and was able to lead the officials as intended.
In this way, the five-day tour ended successfully.
âSo is this the end of what I have to do?â
âThank you for your hard work.â
Inspector Tam smiled.
âIs it your turn now? âItâs our deal.â
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
âletâs go.â
