A past linked to the Four Gods (2)
“….”
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.
“Not to mention the fact that he came without notice and took up the time of an official who was busy working.”
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.
“How did you find out about this person and bring him here?”
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 person’s mouth, it means that they already know each other well enough.
Yeon Ho-jeong said.
“I thought it would be better to show a martial artist bringing in and persuading people who are difficult to manage rather than suppressing them.”
“…I’m telling you clearly.”
Jongmyeong’s eyes became cold.
“Don’t you think that your attitude makes you see your group as a dangerous group?”
“I don’t think there’s any need to wear a mask to an official who already considers the martial arts people themselves to be a risk factor.”
Jongmyeong frowned.
“I think it’s a matter regardless of what my ideology is.”
“Whether that ideology is right or wrong is not my concern. “The important thing is that you are ignoring countless ways to make Guangdong a better place to live in the name of protecting the future.”
“Reality is just reality. “It is the duty of management to work tirelessly for a better future and a better life.”
“At the same time, isn’t it also the responsibility of management to take care of the lives of many common people living today?”
“I never thought of myself as someone who wasn’t capable enough to learn the responsibilities of a manager from a martial artist.”
“In 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. “It 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.”
Jongmyeong’s stiff cheeks trembled.
I don’t know anything else, but I don’t 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.
“I tell you clearly, Guangdong is wrong now. “If 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 faction’s martial arts faction was losing power.”
“It looks like you want to put all the blame on me.”
“Now 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.”
“you!”
Jongmyeong’s voice grew louder.
“I will not tolerate any more indulgence! A country has national laws, laws, and regulations! “The state does not select officials for nothing!”
“It would be better to admit what needs to be acknowledged first, rather than talking back.”
“Do you really want to be locked up in prison?”
“You are a failed administrator.”
“…!!”
It is a word that flies like a sharp dagger and sticks in your head.
Failed administrator. That simple and clear modifier caught Jongmyeong’s mouth shut.
“It 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. However….”
“….”
“Although 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.”
“….”
“Even if the three powers are separated, looking at the current special characteristics of Guangdong Province, it seems that the assassin’s case, Jehyeonganchalsasa, should be criticized the most. “Nevertheless, the reason I came to you is because the left and right positions are the first to capture what the grassroots want.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes became sharp.
“The 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 don’t know, but I left it alone, and parasites were breeding in that gap.”
“…No matter what you say, I have only one thing to say.”
Jongmyeong said with a very red face.
“I will no longer tolerate crossing the line. “You saved my life as a left-wing governor, so I’ll treat your rudeness as nothing.”
“….”
“Go back. The government will take care of the affairs of the country. “Don’t even think about interfering anymore.”
Then Inspector Tam said:
“That friend Zhou Gak said this before.”
For a moment, Jongmyeong’s face froze. Probably because of the name Plinth.
Inspector Tam said calmly.
“Smart people don’t need to be stubborn, but as they get older, they become more stubborn than anyone else.”
“….”
“Being stubborn is not necessarily a bad thing. The problem is that it is a sin for the operator of any organization. “If you’re stubborn, your perspective gets narrowed and you can’t think about worrying about anything else.”
Jongmyeong spoke in a whisper.
“Even if you mention his name, I will never…”
“Are you afraid? Are you afraid that I will put pressure on that friend and get you into trouble?”
“…!!”
“Each person has a different personality and different abilities. “But looking at you now, it seems like you live for yourself and not for Guangdong.”
“Elder.”
“That can’t be seen as a bad thing either. Aren’t 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? “Because that’s why you get paid so much.”
“….”
“Among your superiors, there are many fools and greedy people, but there are also many people who are kind-hearted and discerning.”
“…?!”
“Do you know what I mean? “Even though you eliminated countless political opponents from the bottom to your current position, it means that your current politics are clearly problematic.”
Jongmyeong’s eyelids fluttered.
Tamgyeong’s voice was much calmer than Yeonhojeong’s, so much so that it sounded leisurely. But the weight of those words was tremendous.
“Whether 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. “I am not very knowledgeable about administration, but at least I understand that your mistake is not a small one.”
“I…”
“Don’t you want to admit it? Are you afraid that it will be a blemish on the history you have created? “Shouldn’t you have done that?”
“…!!”
“What has already happened has already left a stain on your history. Then there are two things left. “Either you show great skill to cover up that stain, or you step down from that position.”
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, Jongmyeong’s complexion was extremely pale. Inspector Tam’s words did not sound like he was just saying them.
Yeon Ho-jeong said.
“If I had known you were such a stuck-up person, I wouldn’t have saved you.”
“…!!”
“Does this sound radical? It doesn’t matter. “When 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.”
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 (??) sword.
“Do you know who this woman is?”
“…?”
“They 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.”
“What?!”
Jongmyeong looked at Firefighting in surprise.
Firefighter’s face became even more distorted. He was offended by Yeon Ho-jeong’s words that Saeumgyo were a bunch of cults.
“And the assassin we killed was also a ganja dispatched by the Saeum Church. “He 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.”
Flash!
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes became extremely cold.
“This is what’s happening in the world you didn’t see and didn’t want to see. And it’s going to continue, and it’s actually become too big of a deal to touch on right now.”
“Is that really true?!”
“What on earth were you doing?”
“I asked if it was true!”
“I 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.”
“Oh no!”
Jongmyeong suddenly stood up.
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“Don’t even think about telling anyone. Their magic has already spread to the highest levels.”
“…what?”
“I mean, keep your mouth shut. The moment you make a mistake about that agenda, you will be killed without even realizing it. “We will dispatch assassins ten times more terrifying than the assassins who have been by your side for seven years.”
“…!!”
“Also, if you mess around before then, I will kill you first.”
The corners of Yeon Ho-jeong’s mouth rose.
“Do you understand? “Why are we telling you this?”
“….”
“You can’t escape now. As this old man says, it’s one of two things. Either keep your mouth shut and take care of Guangdong properly, or die here.”
“….”
“I’m glad I don’t have to tell you to watch your mouth any more since you’re a person obsessed with self-preservation anyway.”
Yeon Ho-jeong buried his back in the chair.
“It seemed like he was in communication with the Eun family. Let’s 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. “I believe he is not that stupid.”
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 Tamgyeong’s 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, Firefighter’s presence was a turning point and was able to lead the officials as intended.
In this way, the five-day tour ended successfully.
“So is this the end of what I have to do?”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Inspector Tam smiled.
“Is it your turn now? “It’s our deal.”
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
“let’s go.”
