Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 240

**Chapter 240: The Holgazan is found (5)**

Crash!

Tang Jong-gyeok fell to the ground and trembled, but Wei Yanho was still angry.

“Better to eat moss in the cave than this! Do you sell this?”

The owner, terrified, tried to calm Wei Yanho.

“Sir, why are you doing this? Calm down…”

“Calm down, you think I’m calm?”

Wei Yanho pointed to the food.

“Eat it.”

“Huh?”

“Eat it.”

The owner, with a stunned expression, looked at the food, took a toothpick and tasted the meat stew.

“…….”

Then he made a grimace.

‘What is this?’

He was chewing meat, but he felt like he was chewing kudzu roots. He had a strange, salty taste.

“Ugh.”

This inn served the guests of Mount Hua. Although it also sold cheap food for ordinary people, its specialty was expensive food.

Especially, the abundant meat food was his specialty, for those tired of the insipid food of Mount Hua. But this meat had a horrible taste!

“I’m sorry! I’m so sorry, sir!”

The owner understood perfectly the anger of Wei Yanho.

They had eaten only herbs in Mount Hua, and had walked to the top of the mountain to eat, but they had served them something incompensable. It was understandable that he was angry.

In addition, the food Wei Yanho had ordered was the most expensive of the restaurant. He had paid for garbage, so it was understandable that he had thrown the fried chicken at him.

‘That bastard.’

He was someone recommended by the usual cook, and he said he would cook himself, so he thought it was good, but he had served him garbage.

“I will do it again immediately.”

Wei Yanho trembled.

“This good meat!”

Wei Yanho seemed about to cry. He felt ashamed of the pigs and cows who had died for this food.

Eating it willingly was the only way to honor his sacrifice, but even Wei Yanho, who had eaten moss in the cave, could not swallow this food.

“Bring it to me, bring it to me.”

“Huh?”

Wei Yanho pointed to Tang Jong-gyeok, who was lying on the floor after receiving a fried chicken on his face.

“Bring it to me.”

“…….”

Although he felt it was too much to ask to wake someone unconscious, the affected person had asked for it. Moreover, he was not in a position to say anything.

I couldn’t say anything after serving that meal.

The owner shook Tang Jong-gyeok.

“Wake up! Quickly!”

The owner, who woke up someone who had been knocked out by a fried chicken, had strange feelings.

“Ugh…”

Fortunately, Tang Jong-gyeok woke up quickly. It was not because the owner cared about him, but because he feared having to endure Wei Yanho’s anger alone.

“Come here.”

“How dare you put your hands on me…”

Slap!

The owner slapped Tang Jong-gyeok mercilessly.

“Are you crazy? Do you know what you’ve done?”

“Ah…”

Tang Jong-gyeok, who realized his situation thanks to the slap, bowed.

‘This is dangerous!’

He did not know what he had been beaten with, but Wei Yanho clearly suspected him. Tang Jong-gyeok trembled. “It was better to bite his tongue than to let Wei Yanho discover his identity.”

“Come here!”

The owner dragged him to Wei Yanho. It was easy to escape from a master without martial skills, but if he used martial arts, Wei Yanho would pursue him.

‘For now, I will surrender.’

Provoking Wei Yanho could make things worse.

Besides, Jangil was there, too.

‘Why…’

He could fool Wei Yanho, but Jangil was known for his sharp nose.

If I tried to fool Jangil, I could embarrass the Tang family. Tang Myung wouldn’t forgive him.

“Why… do you do this?”

Wei Yanho looked at him with disdain.

“Why, do you have amnesia, are you rich?”

Tang Jong-gyeok was surprised to hear the question as to whether he was rich.

‘No, why do you ask if he is rich when he has amnesia?’

I Seolhwa also seemed to have the same question.

“What does amnesia have to do with being rich?”

“Amnesia is a disease of the rich.”

“Huh?”

“Only the rich suffer it. Have you heard of a beggar with amnesia?”

“…No.”

“See.”

Wei Yanho showed his stomach, and I Seolhwa shook his head.

What kind of conversation is this?

“That’s it!”

Wei Yanho looked at Tang Jong-gyeok and said:

“Eat it all.”

“Huh?”

“It doesn’t taste good, but I can’t waste the ingredients, so eat it yourself.”

“Hey…!”

Tang Jong-gyeok trembled.

“This?”

“Yes.”

Tang Jong-gyeok saw the food.

‘How generous.’

It is not food for two people. Even twenty people could eat and still spare. He could not say anything, since it was his money…

‘I almost took off my mask while cooking.’

Tang Jong-gyeok smiled clumsily.

“S…sir, I don’t think I can eat all this.”

“Yes. Then leave something.”

“Can I leave something?”

“Yes. But…”

Wei Yanho smiled.

“A beating for every spoonful.”

“…….”

“Agh!”

Wei Yanho touched his stomach, satisfied. Unlike the unpleasant kind of food, the food the owner had made was delicious.

The owner must make a lot of money to have a separate cook.

“……you eat everything?”

Jangil, who was looking at the food Wei Yanho had left, said with pity:

“Ask only what you can eat.”

“If there were more guys like you, all beggars would starve!”

“I don’t care.”

Wei Yanho stretched widely. His full stomach made the table tremble.

“Ugh.”

Jangil groaned and looked back. Tang Jong-gyeok, who had been eating food, was almost unconscious. He felt sorry to see his stomach swollen.

‘Not eating is torture, but eating too much is torture.’

Tang Jong-gyeok ate until he was about to explode due to the threat of a beating for every spoonful. Wei Yanho’s beating was different.

Wei Yanho had been turning the young warriors into stars with one stroke.

One blow would knock him unconscious, two strokes would cause permanent damage, and three strokes would kill him.

So he ate with all his might…

“……how cruel.”

“Woe, cruel.”

Wei Yanho shrugged.

“Do you say that after you see this?”

He felt sorry to see Tang Jong-gyeok fainted with a swollen stomach.

“Even if he committed a crime, he shouldn’t have done that. It didn’t even hurt him.”

“Does it hurt?”

Wei Yanho barked his head.

“Well, it wasn’t bad food, just bad food. Although it did have a horrible taste.”

Jangil looked at Wei Yanho.

“Are you okay?”

“Hey, why?”

Jangil looked at Wei Yanho from top to bottom and approached his face.

“Get away!”

He could not help but be surprised when he saw the face of a beggar so close. When Wei Yanho was surprised, Jangil waved his head.

“How strange.”

“What?”

“Hmm…”

Jangil looked at Tang Jong-gyeok. Wei Yanho did not notice it, but Jangil noticed that the texture of the skin behind the ears was different from that of the rest of the face.

“Huh?”

Jangil, who noticed something, looked at Wei Yanho and asked:

“So you punished that guy because the food was bad?”

“Is there any other reason?”

“…….”

Jangil looked at Wei Yanho with disbelief.

‘What kind of person is this?’

Jangil thought Wei Yanho knew everything and had punished Tang Jong-gyeok. Jangil did not know who Tang Jong-gyeok was, but he knew that a murderer had tried to poison Wei Yanho.

But it wasn’t like that.

“…Is it such a serious crime?”

“If you ruin good ingredients, you can’t expect to get away with it. God can forgive, but I can’t.”

“You’re crazy.”

Wei Yanho, who had lived five years without eating anything decent, nodded as he remembered the look of Wei Yanho when he left the cave.

‘If I had been in place, I would have crushed that guy’s head.’

Not many people in Central Plains understand the value of food better than Wei Yanho.

‘But…’

Jangil asked curiously:

“Are you okay?”

“Huh? Why?”

“No, does your stomach hurt?”

“I’m fine. I ate something delicious.”

“E…really?”

“Yes.”

Jangil shook his head when he saw Wei Yanho’s calm response.

‘Is it immune to poisons?’

I don’t know if the guy tried to poison Wei Yanho to bother him or kill him, but the poison didn’t work.

‘What a monster.’

Jangil, who was surprised by Wei Yanho, turned.

“Just in case, go to the medicine room before bed.”

“Why the medical room?”

“I tell you to go!”

“I don’t listen to weird beggars.”

Jangil sighed.

‘Now, how do I handle this guy…’

Jangil was worried to see Tang Jong-gyeok, whose stomach seemed about to explode.

If the situation did not worsen, if he was arrested, it could cause problems. If he intervened, he could give the impression that the Beggar sect was on the side of the Wei family.

‘I will observe for now.’

It was better not to make things worse during the tournament, especially since things get worse with that guy.

Jangil decided to reveal what he knew if the situation was getting worse.

But Jangil didn’t know.

Things would get worse that night.
