Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 32

Chapter 32

The member of the Great Hanrim Academy, who had always despised him with arrogance, was now being raped by his hands. Although he had lived a life without anything to envy, coming to this place made him feel insignificant.

At first, he simply tried to take Moon Eun-ji because it was so ordered.

He believed that someone with his background could conquer any woman if he proposed.

But Moon Eun-ji was different.

She didn’t pay attention to her background.

She always rejected him and looked at him with contempt. It was a humiliation he had never felt in his life.

“That ends today.”

Today she would kneel before her feet.

And she’d pay the price for rejecting it.

It didn’t take long for everyone at the academy to be dragged in front of him.

Looking at Moon Eun-ji’s face from the front, looking at him with provocative eyes, gave him an indescribable pleasure.

I could see people running frantically in the distance. Among them were Moon Yu-hwan and Moon Eun-ji.

“What are you doing!”

Moon Yu-hwan screamed with an angry face.

Nok Mok-pung briefly savored Moon Yu-hwan’s angry expression.

To see the face of someone called the Great Scholar of the Three Excellencies, who always kept composure, to be contorted by anger was a vision that awakened strange emotions.

“Mmm…”

Nok Mok-pung paused for a moment before speaking.

“I received information that there were suspicious movements at the Grand Hanrim Academy.”

Moon Yu-hwan screamed.

“Suspicious Movements!”

Nok Mok-pung shrugged once and spoke.

I have heard that influential people across the country have been entering and leaving the Hanrim Grand Academy lately. Information that influential Central Plains figures, including families of former prime ministers, are gathering information one by one.

“What’s wrong with that?”

“Bah! Can someone called the Great Scholar of the Three Excellencies react so slowly? What do you think it means that people with military power and political authority are constantly coming and going from one place?

Moon Yu-hwan’s face turned slightly pale.

What Nok Mok-pung was saying now was too clear.

“Are you saying we planned a rebellion?”

Nok Mok-pung shook his hand.

“Oh God, I didn’t say such a thing…”

Nok Mok-pung’s eyes narrowed.

“The Great Scholar is the one who speaks. Do you have something to feel guilty about?”

Moon Yu-hwan’s face trembled.

Rebellion!

What kind of absurd conversation was that?

I wanted to scream immediately, but once the word rebellion was mentioned, getting excited was taboo.

You must also know why people gather at the academy! All these people have gathered to play Go with the person who resides at the academy.

“That’s right!”

“Free me, we’re innocent!”

Voices were heard.

Nok Mok-pung snapped his tongue.

“Do you want me to believe that all these people traveled so far just to play Go?”

“You must have heard the rumors about the Holy One of Harim’s Go!”

Nok Mok-pung was relaxed.

Since he had no intention of hearing what they were saying from the beginning, it was natural for him to remain relaxed no matter what they said.

“Rumors? I’ve heard rumors. But those rumors are easy to invent, aren’t they?”

Nok Mok-pung looked around and bowed his head.

He tried to mention Wei Yan-ho by name, but could not find him anywhere.

“Where did that guy go?”

The man dressed in black who was behind Nok Mok-pung spoke.

“Who are you looking for?”

That guy called the Go Saint or something. Where is he?

The expression of the man dressed in black hardened.

“There was no one else in the academy.”

“Mmm…”

Nok Mok-pung snapped his tongue like he was disappointed.

Did he escape? Or did he leave earlier? It would have been impossible to escape after our arrival, so he must have left earlier.

Nok Mok-pung completely abandoned his interest in Wei Yan-ho. Although he kept unpleasant memories of him, there was no need to ruin his mood for a creature looking like an insect.

“Well, all right, if you’re innocent, I’ll soon release you, after investigating the academy, if there’s no problem, I’ll release you and apologize.”

That’s when it happened.

“I found it!”

A man dressed in black came running urgently.

Nok Mok-pung smiled.

“Did you find him?”

The man dressed in black approached Nok Mok-pung and put his hand into his chest.

When the hand of the man dressed in black emerged again, he held a pamphlet.

“What is this?”

The man dressed in black answered.

“It’s a joint request.”

Nok Mok-pung opened the book.

Inside were the names and stamps of several people.

“Head.”

A cruel smile flourished on Nok Mok-pung’s face.

“Well, well, with evidence like this, there’s no room for excuses anymore.”

Moon Yu-hwan’s face became pale as death.

It’s the first time we’ve heard anything like this!

Nok Mok-pung mocked Moon Yu-hwan.

You keep saying that when you have that evidence before your eyes?

“We are…”

The force abandoned Moon Yu-hwan’s voice.

The situation was obvious.

Nok Mok-pung had come with this intention from the beginning.

The fact that he had in his hands a jointly invented petition was proof that it had been prepared from the beginning.

In other words.

No matter what just words Moon Yu-hwan said, Nok Mok-pung would obviously ignore them.

“We didn’t!”

“We are innocent!”

I didn’t come here for this!

Screams were heard from various places.

Nok Mok-pung watched the scene becoming chaotic with a bitter smile.

It was a nice view.

Then one of the people who had been quietly tied up stood up.

“Nok Mok-pung.”

Nok Mok-pung’s face hardened.

“You are…”

The old man spoke with a heavy voice.

“You’re doing something interesting.”

Nok Mok-pung looked at the old man with a rigid expression.

It was a face I had found several times in the imperial palace.

As head of the Censorship, I wasn’t someone you could take lightly.

The power of the Inspector General was absolute authority, and his other identity had a power that made even the title of Inspector General seem insignificant.

“Second Prince!”

He was someone who had the current emperor as his older brother.

He was none other than Prince Gong Zhu Lun, the younger brother of the present emperor.

“Call me Inspector General.”

The Second Prince ordered quietly.

Faced with the words “Second Prince”, all the people tied up looked at the old man with surprised eyes.

The one who had received numerous authorities as prince but cut all that off with a blow and entered as head of the Censorship himself for the safety of the imperial family was here.

– Second Prince!

“We’re safe! We’re safe now!”

Those here weren’t fools either.

Seeing the situation, they couldn’t ignore what was happening.

The presence of the Second Prince, who suddenly appeared in a situation in which they were about to give up thinking that it was all over, extended his lifeline.

Nok Mok-pung opened his mouth with a heavy expression.

“If I had known that His Excellency was present, I would not have acted so abruptly.”

The Second Prince nodded.

“I’m not one of those people who cares about those things either. So untie these ties quickly.”

Nok Mok-pung sighed and nodded.

Then he slowly approached the Second Prince.

Nok Mok-pung, who had grabbed the rope that tied the Second Prince, hesitated for a moment before speaking.

“Before that… I have something to ask you.”

“Something to ask?”

Nok Mok-pung paused briefly.

“Why did you do it?”

“What do you mean?”

The Second Prince bowed his head.

He couldn’t understand what Nok Mok-pung was saying.

Nok Mok-pung had a bitter smile.

“Why did you plan the rebellion?”

The face of the Second Prince hardened.

Seeing the expression of the Second Prince change, Nok Mok-pung let a mocking laugh escape and slowly stepped back.

“Didn’t you think I knew you were here?”

“You bastard, what are you saying?”

Nok Mok-pung opened her arms dramatically.

His face twisted like a comic mask.

If there are suspicious movements, naturally there must be a central point. What could the Great Scholar of the Three Excellencies accomplish by initiating a rebellion? Do you plan to become emperor? The center of rebellion is you, Second Prince.

“Don’t move that mouth carelessly!”

The Second Prince screamed angry.

“Rebellion?”

Why would he plan a rebellion?

“Oh, don’t shout like that. It’s all written in this joint petition. Even with the seals swearing allegiance so tight, you keep making excuses…

“You bastard!”

The Second Prince squeezed his teeth.

Had you planned this knowing he was here?

No matter how falsified it was, being arrested in such a situation would surely bring great difficulties.

Your actions have gone too far! If you don’t untie these ties immediately, I will personally interrogate your crimes.

Nok Mok-pung looked terrified and slowly retreated.

I’m so afraid I can’t live.

“Hmph, you bastards!”

Nok Mok-pung shook his hand.

“Are you saying you trust these pieces of garbage?”

Hit!

Before those words ended, the bodies fell to the ground.

“Wow!”

The Second Prince observed the corpses with his eyes disorbited. The skilled warriors of the Censorate who had secretly protected him, as well as the warriors of the Imperial Guard, had become brutally mutilated corpses.

“Hahahaha!”

Nok Mok-pung took his hand to his stomach and laughed.

“Second Prince, Second Prince! You have become stupid with age! You presume so much to trust these worthless things!”

The Second Prince screamed with his face contracted.

“You… your insolence has come to heaven! Did you think you would be safe after doing such a thing? Not just you! Your father, that filthy eunuch, will not let anyone go!”

Suddenly Nok Mok-pung’s eyes shone.

“How?”

“I will inform His Majesty of the truth.”

“That’s what I ask. How?”

Nok Mok-pung’s eyes shone cruelly.

“You seem wrong, but do you think you can see His Majesty again? No, you think you can get out of here alive?”

“Bastard…”

“Rebellion is immediate execution! Everyone will die here!”

“Do you think you will be safe, you bastards, after you do such things? The truth will be revealed in some way.”

Nok Mok-pung snapped his tongue.

“How stupid! So many influential people gathered in this worthless academy, and you were there too. And a joint petition arose. What do you think His Majesty will think?”

The face of the Second Prince was stained with despair.

Wasn’t it obvious to anyone that they were planning a rebellion?

Even if the truth were not so, with so many circumstantial evidence, it could easily be covered up. They would invent evidence and leave no mouth to denounce injustice.

“Kukukuk, thank you. Thanks to your arrival, everything was easily resolved. Without my father’s foresight, it would have been impossible, but you certainly helped.”

The complexion of the Second Prince was darkened to black.

He had fallen into a deep trap from which there was no escape.
