    EP.306 Fire in Jangan

    “Jangheung Sangbang is not even a corner store. Would they start a business just to make a few bucks? So what? “We reduced the materials replaced them with cheap ones and roughly filled them with stones.”

    Cheong’s eyes narrowed.

    It’s such an open mouth that it just lets out any sound.

    “More than 2000 people died in Naknyeong. It is said that there are more than 3000 people including those who are missing. “What is missing? We just couldn’t find the body.”

    Carpenter Jang’s expression becomes clouded at that.

    “That was unlucky. In fact the core axes were properly constructed. “If only it hadn’t rained so damn hard.”

    “It’s not because of the rain. “It’s because of you.”

    “Even if the design worked a little cheaper-”

    “Don’t blame the design. When I lifted the tail I realized that even if it wasn’t an expensive design it would have exploded anyway. “They’re making this up on a whim saying they’ll have some leftover anyway so how are they going to survive the rain?”

    “Uhm…”

    “Tell me. “If the construction cost had been cut in half do you think everything would have been built as planned?”

    “hmm…”

    Mr. Jang only let out an uncomfortable groan.

    This is the reaction of someone who has nothing to say.

    The excuse that materials were stolen and replaced with cheaper ones because the cost of following the design was too high is pure nonsense.

    Did the bastards who were stealing it care about that anyway?

    If the design had been cheaper they would have done the same saying they would save more but after such heavy rain it would have exploded no matter what.

    “It’s nonsense to make promises about the afterlife. Where is the afterlife after taking the lives of 3000 people? “The way I see it is that I will be thrown into hell and hacked to pieces until the end of the world.”

    “Damn it…”

    “So who ordered it? I heard that someone who looked like the young lady at Jangheung Commercial was in charge of the construction. “Did she tell you to remove the material?”

    “okay. It’s that bitch. Everyone was concerned. But if your boss tells you to you have to do it accordingly. “If the Shaanxi Province construction site goes against the words of Jangheung Commercial it should be considered that the work has been completed.”

    It was an excuse that he only did as he was told.

    However Cheong shows Mr. Jang’s bad karma.

    Isn’t that high considering that I did as I was told?

    Additionally Cheong is a young carpenter.

    There is a story I heard from carpenters.

    “I also did some carpentry work right? “You personally stole some materials right?”

    “Is there a carpenter in the world who doesn’t do that?”

    “I guess so. It must have been stolen from the merchants and each of the carpenters at the head of the company must have stolen it one by one to get their share. Wow what on earth did they build it with? “Did you make it out of red clay like some kid playing with mud?”

    “…”

    “So like I said before he was stabbed to death in a shabby closet without anyone knowing. Since you died of natural causes you have no right to blame anyone. “Isn’t it natural for someone who is going to die to die? It’s unfair and sad isn’t it?”

    “Okay. I may be mortal but before I die let me ask you one favor. I have a hidden gold silver but my wife is a year old and bends to my child. ”

    Mr. Jang who was about to say something suddenly made a choking sound.

    This was because no one in the world would be able to speak if a foot came up to the back of their neck and pressed down on them.

    Cheong answered with a puzzled expression.

    “This guy. You think I came here to listen to your will because I have nothing to do. Besides why would you pass on money earned with a person’s life?”

    Carpenter Jang is waving his left arm as the iceberg rises so large that he sticks his right hand to the top of the boat.

    Carpenters are people who have been trained with compressed muscles in real life but at best they are at the level of the common people and rub up against each other.

    Cheong is a master who has reached his peak.

    The carpenter’s throbbing gradually becomes more desperate desperate for air.

    However Cheong’s feet like Mount Tai were just standing there with a suffocating weight.

    It was as if a thin thread suddenly broke.

    It is truly a strange moment the moment when the desperate struggle with all your might falls apart for a moment.

    “no way. I just wasted time. “Is there anyone else over there?”

    “If we see the assassin there it would already be too late to look further. In the first place this type of tracking is something assassins specialize in. “In the first place these hideouts are not trustworthy at all.”

    These hideouts inevitably reach Haomun and similar lower class gatherings.

    And since the assassins are people who maintain close relationships with them it is a good choice to avoid the attention of others but it is not a good choice to avoid the attention of the assassins.

    “hmm. then. “There’s nothing we can do about it.”

    Cheong scratched the back of his head.

    “I told you to spread rumors about the neighborhood and ruin it. There are no witnesses in particular. I just caught the girl from Jangheung Sangbang and asked her if there were any more people to kill. Then um. “I will have to cut off the limbs and veins and deliver them to the bereaved families of Naknyeong.”

    After all the best cure is revenge.

    Strictly speaking it would be said to be an ending rather than a healing.

    The pain of losing your family will only fade and revenge will never heal it.

    But at least it is definitely the best way to end hatred and resentment and help us move forward.

    “If you plan to publicize the atrocities of Jangheung Sangbang you still have a long way to go as a witness.”

    “You’re saying the rest of us are going to die anyway? “There is no way to find him faster than an assassin.”

    Seolga came up with an answer.

    “So shouldn’t we just catch the assassin? “If an assassin testifies that he received a request for assassination the rest of the world unless they are fools will naturally think it’s a shame that all the carpenters in the city are dying.”

    “and! also! From now on I will elevate you as the best intellect in the region. The neighborhood is too small to accommodate this brilliant intellect. Let’s move on to a bigger world. huh. huh. After all the best intelligence in Shaanxi Province!”

    Cheong upgraded Seolganom’s evaluation.

    Seolga looked very uncomfortable.

    “There are so many really smart people out there so why not someone like me? “It’s rude so don’t say that.”

    “It’s so humble.”

    “You really don’t listen to people….”

    “But how do you find the assassin?”

    “How difficult would it be to find an assassin? These are people who kill people for money. Wouldn’t you know this if you take a hard look at those who receive money? “I’ll find out again so let’s leave for today.”

    “Reassuring! “Reliable!”

    “Anyway. “With people.”

    However the slightly curved corners of the mouth did not appear to be a bad expression.

    —-

    In Jungwon there is no such thing as burning down everything while trying to catch bed bugs.

    Because it is a proverb of the Korean people.

    There are various theories about the origin of this proverb.

    There is a theory that a real man was so annoyed by bedbugs that they kept coming back no matter how many times he caught them he just burned down his house.

    It is said that bed bug bites are so itchy that they are incomparable to mosquito bites so if you have ever had a hard time sleeping after suddenly realizing the itchiness you will be able to understand at least roughly the exasperation.

    Alternatively there is a theory that it originated from a traditional insecticidal treatment for catching bed bugs.

    It is said that in order to kill bedbugs insecticidal grasses such as hemp or duckweed were burned and the smoke filled the house. If a spark accidentally flies the house made of thatched grass can be instantly consumed by the fire.

    The fire was spreading like this in Changan as well.

    Of course Jangheung Sangbang is too big to be treated as a bug and a large city as big as Xi’an is not going to burn down just because of a few sparks.

    However the spark that bloomed due to the flood in Naknyeong spread all the way to Jang-an and burned down the technicians of Jangheung Sangbang who were numb at first.

    However since the handling of the remaining fire was inadequate this time the flames spread to the assassins.

    So.

    Reasonable violence strikes the assassins!

    Since they are rebellious people who kill people for money it doesn’t really matter if it’s violence without reason.

    So it would be a waste to call him an assassin.

    It is not that there were no righteous assassins in the history of the Central Plains so they were called assassins or in other words assassins.

    The distribution business of Jungwon Salsu is dominated by five very large companies: Cheonsalseong Salmak Salgok Jarim Cheonsalmun and other famous organizations occupying their respective regions.

    The assassin group that ranks the best in terms of both skill and price is the Constellation Killer.

    However the Constellation Killer recently closed down its business.

    However no one thought it was particularly strange because a water spray company carries the risk of going bankrupt at any time.

    So the hot topic in the water spray industry was the question of how why and by whom the Constellation Killers were destroyed overnight.

    And there is one really big question.

    It is unlikely that every single one of the Constellation Killer’s assassins died so why on earth were there no survivors among those famous for their skills?

    He said he would have paid a huge amount of gold and silver to bring him back if he showed up.

    What the world doesn’t know is that the infamous Constellation Killers actually just changed jobs.

    We can no longer live in the dark.

    All I can do is bare my face proudly under the bright sun and bask contentedly in the good world led by the new Heavenly Demon.

    Thanks to this I can now come out to the sunny area and date make friends share warm feelings with neighbors and sometimes even start a family. I think this is the true joy of human life.

    And since all these graces were given solely by the great Heavenly Demon Supreme isn’t this a faith that must be defended to the death?

    Agents (former assassins) belonging to the Bijakbu are unconditionally the best of all worlds.

    These are people whose brains have been severely damaged since childhood through the vicious brainwashing technology that the Church of the Heavenly Demon has systematized and perfected over a long period of time.

    Otherwise it would have been an unavoidable choice since the Bijakbu agents dispatched to the central plain would immediately defect and leave.

    Sprinklers know best how the sprinkler industry works.

    Therefore the Ilwolpyo Bureau was already aware of the locations of all water spraying stations in Xi’an.

    Thanks to this Cheong was able to receive a booklet containing the locations of all water spraying offices in Xi’an right while eating lunch the next day.

    “Wow so fast?”

    “You happened to have the data from the bureau.”

    “Haha hahaha…”

    “Huh. Why does Pyo-guk have data on Sal-su?”

    “Do I understand? However if you start a big business in a city isn’t that the place to go first and use it to increase the number of customers?”

    “Huuuuk haaaa…”

    “It’s not like I just robbed it and the sun-moon table ledger came out right?”

    “If that were the case would you have readily handed over the data? “I guess it’s also a confidence that I have nothing to do with them.”

    “Ha ha ha ha ha ha…”

    hmm. I ate really dirty food for once.

    After Cheong scooped up the boiling soup into his mouth he looked at Seoliri who managed to cool it down by inhaling and exhaling.

    It’s not just any soup it’s a snake meat soup called Osagaeng.

    As the name suggests it is a health food made with five types of snakes braised and is a very very high-class dish.

    However this Osageng is a Guangdong cuisine and in Guangdong cuisine soup is thick with half water and half oil and starch so it can be said to be a lava soup whose temperature is the same as boiling oil.

    Are you eating this without letting it cool down?

    Are you human? Isn’t it at the level of a Charyeok performance?

    Of course since it came out after boiling it may not be real boiling oil but the thick soup that is half oil would be much hotter than boiling water.

    hmm. Still it’s a bit weird to say something about someone else’s eating.

    It’s not like I’m causing any harm to others and I’m sure anyone who sees it will find it fascinating.

    “Then we can start to shake things off starting tonight. hmm. “Where do I start?”

    It’s full of idiots who kill people for money.

    Isn’t this a completely free ticket unlimited meal ticket and free pass?

    Cheong was so excited that he couldn’t help but hum.

    There were famous songs from the Korean people that did not yet exist but since it was ancient China and there was no concept of copyright anyway it wouldn’t have mattered.

    The listener just said it was really good to hear.
