Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 68

Chapter 68

What kind of shit this is!

Jin So-ah felt her neck tightened for the first time.

‘This is dangerous.’

It was proof that her body was not well. Her blood pressure was rising rapidly. After breathing deeply several times to just calm the tension in her neck and beating heart, Jin So-ah bit her lips hard.

“No matter how much money you borrowed, going out like that is wrong!”

“Well, look at this?”

Wei Yan-ho snapped his tongue.

Really, borrowers have guts. They don’t think of the anxiety of those who lend money, and after borrowing, they turn around and turn the creditor into a villain for having no mercy. You should have been conned once to stop saying those things.

“Wow.”

Jin So-ah uttered a groan.

The words were all right, so there was nothing I could say.

It’s not like I’m not giving back the money I have!

Look, look, he’s telling me to open his belly.

“That’s not what I meant!”

“Young punks are only learning bad habits.”

Jin So-ah left the conversation.

Talking to Wei Yan-ho seemed to consume as much mental energy as caring for fifty patients at once.

“D- anyway, please do something about the current situation.”

“To me?”

Wei Yan-ho’s eyes were wide open.

– Yes, I mean Master Wei.

“…Are you high?”

Wei Yan-ho asked seriously.

So far, no one had asked Wei Yan-ho to solve anything.

People wanted the process, not the results of Wei Yan-ho. The simple fact of trying to do something was enough to be considered admirable: that had been the life of Wei Yan-ho.

But what?

Solve?

What the fuck did this mean?

Wei Yan-ho, hearing words that seemed to have no relationship with him in life, was confused.

“Are you telling me to figure it out?”

“Yes.”

“… Control yourself.”

Wei Yan-ho was seriously concerned about Jin So-ah.

“I have ears too.”

“Huh?”

I heard everything then, that Master Wei was called Inspector on the battlefield.

Suddenly, Wei Yan-ho ran out of words.

So there was a reason this smart guy was acting crazy.

Originally, isn’t this the kind of work the inspectors do, so please hurry up and figure it out.

Wei Yan-ho frowned deeply and lay on the ground.

“Do you want me to solve it?”

“Yes!”

“Why should I?”

“What?”

Wei Yan-ho kept yawning.

Looking at that face that showed that he was dying of annoyance, Jin So-ah could not help but feel intuitively that the situation was flowing differently than he had thought.

“What kind of inspector has to intervene to resolve personal debts?”

“…”

When he heard it, he thought it was the right thing to say…

“It’s usury, isn’t it?”

Where does this apply to personal money transactions? Is there even a law about it?

“…There is no.”

“With what authority would I then?”

“A-yet, if you’re an inspector, shouldn’t you be able to do something?”

“Is this kid gonna be in big trouble?”

Wei Yan-ho’s eyes were wide open.

Do you know how scary the abuse of power is? Do you know what happens when someone with power uses it without control?

“…”

Why did he feel strange even though he only heard solid arguments?

The words were all right, but what was that uncomfortable feeling?

Jin So-ah bowed his head to the suspicion that arose from his belly.

“So you’re saying you can’t help?”

“I have the heart for it.”

“But?”

“But what can I do with just the heart? There is nothing I can do.”

Jin So-ah’s head fell.

It was a mistake to expect something from this person.

Seeing Ha Dae-bung from the Silver River Battlefield crawling towards Wei Yan-ho, he thought there would be something…

‘How important is the position when there is no spine?’

Jin So-ah renounced his persistent hopes and rose from his seat.

“May you rest well.”

If you can, of course.

Leaving Wei Yan-ho behind, Jin So-ah came out. There was no need to waste any more time with Wei Yan-ho.

On his way out, he saw Joageol keep taking the patients out.

“This one…”

Just as Jin So-ah was about to scream, a sharp voice was heard one step forward.

“What is this behavior?”

Jin Ye-ran crossed the door and entered the courtyard.

Even Joageol shuddered momentarily at his imminent impulse.

‘What kind of woman has such a strong presence?’

It wasn’t a proper feeling of being manly.

A feel like bamboo?

If a crane walked gracefully toward someone, people would be amazed rather than threatened.

That was exactly the feeling now.

‘They say that if Sacred Hand Hall’s eldest daughter had been born a man, she would have left a big mark on the history of the medical world.’

She hadn’t felt that way when she saw her before.

But what could have happened in the meantime for a person to change so much?

Joageol swallowed saliva.

How rude is this to drag patients out of their rooms!

“Compassion?”

Joageol stood firm.

Well said, sympathy, do you have something like that while you’re defrauding other people’s money?

“Impaying?”

The money your father borrowed!

Jin Ye-ran looked at Joageol silently without responding.

“Are there cases in which children repay money borrowed from their father?”

Your father borrowed money in the name of the Sacred Hand Hall, so when they asked you to remove the sign from the Sacred Hand Hall or return the money, wasn’t it you who said you’d return it?

“So you’re taking the patients out for that?”

“What else?”

Although Joageol’s eyes shone, Jin Ye-ran opened his mouth without hesitation for a moment.

If there’s a problem, tell us. What crime have the patients committed?

“Good!”

Joageol squeezed his teeth and grabbed Jin Ye-ran’s arm. By holding it tightly, Jin Ye-ran’s expression changed for the first time.

“S-let him go!”

Well said. The party involved should solve it!

“I said let go of him first and then talk.”

“Heh, heh, heh.”

Joageol laughed unpleasantly and pulled Jin Ye-ran’s arm.

“ Kyaaak!”

Jin Ye-ran let go of a strident scream, but Joageol still didn’t let go of his arm.

I didn’t want to use such noisy methods either, it’s the most comfortable way.

“Let this go…”

Let the party involved solve it!

Joageol laughed and stroked Jin Ye-ran’s cheek.

As she felt like a snake coming up her face, Jin Ye-ran shivered. It felt like hives sprang up wherever Joageol’s lewd look touched her.

With such a beautiful face, if I sell you to a brothel, the remaining debt can be settled easily. With your beauty, all debts could be paid in ten years. It’s a good method.

When Joageol began to laugh with laughter, Jin Ye-ran’s body trembled. Jin So-ah, horrified, fell upon Joageol.

“Let go of that hand right now!”

“Huh?”

Joageol kicked Jin So-ah running towards him.

How many times do you have to try the same thing to realize it’s useless?

“N-no!”

Jin So-ah rose and ran to Joageol again.

When your sister was about to be sold to a brothel, what younger brother would rationally consider this and that?

– No, you bastard!

Jin So-ah, who pounced on Joageol just to get kicked, grabbed the solar plexus and rolled over the floor.

“ Ughh…”

“Ah!”

Jin Ye-ran called Jin So-ah with urgent concern.

“You bastard!”

Jin Ye-ran stared at him with a poisonous expression, but Joageol laughed even more.

Since even your angry face is pretty, maybe you can pay the debt faster than expected. Instead of worrying about your little brother, worry about who will fix your hair!

When he heard Joageol’s laughter, Jin Ye-ran bit his lips hard. He applied so much force that his lips broke and blood burst.

“Don’t you know what’s right?”

Considering the debt, there would be no problem in taking you as a slave. Still, selling yourself to a brothel so that you can repay the debt over time and live like a commoner, where else would you find so much mercy? You should be grateful that this gentleman has such a merciful heart.

“Wow!”

Jin Ye-ran pulled his arm with all his might, but there was no way he could overcome a giant’s gripping force.

That’s when it happened.

“N-no, you bastard!”

The patients, who had been dragged helpless to the courtyard, struggled to move forward.

“Have these guys gone crazy?”

Joageol trembled when he felt countless hands grasping his clothes.

The doctor can’t go!

“Fucking bastard!”

I’m gonna die anyway. Can’t I take someone like you on the way?

“These guys!”

Joageol’s eyes were burning with fire.

That the patients looked at him with contempt and rushed to him was a source of pride. If they forced him back for such a reason, he would never appear in the underworld again.

“How dare you, what security!”

Joageol savagely struck the patients who grabbed him and held on to him.

“Death!”

“ Woe!”

They heard screams everywhere, but the patients didn’t release Joageol, as if they preferred to die rather than see Jin Ye-ran dragged into a brothel.

– No, you bastard, no!

You have no blood, no tears, how dare you take the doctor!

“We said no!”

Joageol’s anger went up to the top of his head.

“These guys really are!”

When Joageol clenched his fist and was about to hit the patients, she was startled and screamed.

“Stop it!”

As she grabbed her arm with all her strength and clung to him, Joageol also frowned and lowered his arm.

“Please stop too. It’s not something you can get into.

“Medical lady!”

What if everyone’s condition gets worse because of this?

“But…”

“Hurry up!”

When Jin Ye-ran became severe, the patients reluctantly let him go and took a step back.

Then Jin Ye-ran looked directly at Joageol.

Don’t put your hand on the patients, I’ll go with my own feet.

“What are you saying, sister?”

As Jin So-ah shouted horrifiedly, Jin Ye-ran looked at him calmly and said.

“I’ll pay the debt somehow. So don’t worry about this sister and think about raising the family. Starting today, you’re the head of the Sacred Hand Hall. Don’t forget.”

“Sister, what’s the point of that? I’d rather go! As a younger brother, how could I…?

“Can’t you hear what I’m saying?”

When Jin Ye-ran screamed with a terrifying intensity, Jin So-ah lowered his head.

“I’ll go with my own feet.”

“Heh, heh, heh, of course.”

Joageol was behind Jin Ye-ran with a lascivious smile.

Jin Ye-ran bit his lips hard and began to walk forward.

“ Ah, doctor lady!”

“Sisteraaa!”

Chaos erupted with the cries of the patients and Jin So-ah, but Jin Ye-ran walked to the door without looking back.

Until a certain voice was heard.

“…Hey, you can’t leave”

It was an unknown voice.

But it was also a familiar voice.

Jin Ye-ran, turning his head, saw Wei Yan-ho open the door. Wei Yan-ho, wrapped in a blanket, popped his head and shouted urgently.

“What about my food?”

Jin Ye-ran’s eyes began to waver.
