Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 91

Chapter 91

“Normally, men travel on horseback. How many men have you seen traveling alone in a carriage?”

“Mmm…”

Wei San-ho thought Jang-il’s words made sense.

People of high status would prefer palanquins to carriages and, when travelling far away, they would almost certainly have attendants accompanying them.

If a man were to travel alone in that great carriage, it would really be a rare sight.

“Who travels in it?”

“The young master.”

The coachman whispered softly inwards.

“That beggar now seems to be Jang-il, a minor beggar of the Beggar Sect.”

“Did he notice and follow us?”

“It seems like a coincidence.”

After a moment, a quiet voice came from inside the carriage.

I have heard that the younger beggar Jang-il rarely leaves Kaifeng. Besides, he is known to be a fox. Could someone like that meet us for no particular reason?

But he really didn’t seem to know anything. If the Mendigo’s sect had moved, he wouldn’t have done it that way.

“Is that so?”

The voice inside the carriage remained silent.

The coachman drove the horses slowly so that his master inside the carriage could think.

“It doesn’t matter. Just in case, ask them to erase all possible traces of Wuhan.

“Understood, young master.”

The coachman nodded and continued to drive when he asked him again carefully.

“But young master.”

“Speak.”

“Do you not regret having abandoned all the foundations built in Wuhan?”

“I regret it.”

Although he said he was sorry, the tone he conveyed did not show such feeling.

“But the most regrettable thing is to lose everything by clinging to a small base that was built.”

“There really was no particular problem.”

“Everything went wrong the moment someone else interfered.”

The man’s voice was severe.

Throughout history, it is common for small anomalies to become great obstacles. In the Martial World, the most important thing is to avoid interventions of unknown intentions and teachers of unknown identity. Even if I personally presented myself to punish him, the situation would not be restored. Such a teacher could not have grown alone, and his support would certainly arise. Therefore…

The voice that was heard slowly went out.

It is better to withdraw your hand completely. It is not about winning or losing, but about whether or not we draw attention.

“Hmm, I understand what you mean.”

However, the coachman thought his master’s obsessive tendencies were too strong.

Normally, when an obstacle appears before our eyes, one would try to eliminate it, but his teacher would change the path he was taking when an obstacle appeared.

You think it’s excessive?

“You’re welcome.”

The older brother is already accumulating visible achievements. Although he lacks something, the younger brother is also doing his part.

“…”

“Losing time is the biggest problem, time.”

“I will fulfill.”

The coachman said nothing more and drove the carriage in silence. However, the one travelling inside kept looking out with his eyes sunk.

‘What could be that guy’s identity?’

Finding out who was the young master who suddenly appeared and twisted all plans was the top priority.

He began writing a letter to send to the main family, thinking that this could become a big obstacle to his big business.

“Are you saying we rebuild the Sacred Hand Hall?”

Jin So-ah couldn’t understand what Wei Yan-ho was talking about.

Didn’t the Sacred Hand Hall already exist?

So what was the place where he and his sister were?

“The Sacred Hand Hall is working well.”

“It would be an unknown medical home.”

Jin So-ah’s mouth was stuck as if he had eaten a glutinous rice cake.

No one would think that the place where you are is the old Sacred Hand Hall. At most, some would think that it is just the place where the descendants who were there live.

“Your words are very correct.”

When Ha Dae-bung began to intervene, Wei Yan-ho put strength on his shoulders and continued to speak.

That’s the way people are at their origin. Sometimes, a person gets big and the scale grows, but when the scale is big, those who make up it also seem great. As good medical skills as you have, it’s hard to get recognition in your current situation.

“Mmm.”

Jin So-ah nodded.

On second thought, those who went to see them looking for the past fame of the Sacred Hand Hall often turned around after seeing their squalid appearance and their young age.

“To revitalize the Sacred Hand Hall, we must start by hanging a poster in a large and beautiful place.”

“But we have no money.”

“Wow.”

Wei Yan-ho groaned at Ha Dae-bung’s objection.

– Well, don’t you have some money saved?

I’m a salaried worker. I may seem to be making a fortune by lending money, but it’s not me who earns the fortune, but I’m the owner of the branch. I’m just the branch manager.

– But you sure saved a lot, didn’t you?

In professional terms, stealing the money I earned is called embezzlement. Trust is important in the credit sector. Trust with customers is important, but it is also important among employees. If I had committed such an act, even once, they would have already cut my head off.

“…Do you usually call that trust?”

The meaning may be slightly different, but please accept that it means trust is that important.

Wei Yan-ho looked at Ha Dae-bung with pity. “But Ha Dae-bung was completely shameless.

“So you’re saying there’s no money to invest?”

That’s what people don’t understand well. They think someone like me makes a lot of money, but I’m actually at the confidence-building stage. You can make money later, but right now the profits are pretty unsatisfactory.

“But your clothes are of high quality?”

“Imagine someone with a pretty poor look coming out when you went to a lender to leave a guarantee.”

It made sense.

– So you’re finally saying you don’t have any money?

Wei Yan-ho turned his head to look at Jin So-ah. “I knew perfectly well that the situation on this side was evident.

“Sigh.”

Wei Yan-ho let a deep sigh escape.

“But the young hero Wei.”

“Yes?”

“Can you really revive the Sacred Hand Hall?”

“If there’s money, there’s nothing you can’t do.”

“But I’m that young.”

“Huh?”

Wei Yan-ho scolded Jin So-ah as if asking him what he was talking about.

“Did you see your original building?”

“Yes, I saw it.”

“Your father attended only to all the patients who came there?”

“…That’s not the case.”

“Even now, aren’t there doctors in your clinic besides you and your sister?”

“That’s right.”

You don’t really have many patients, nor do I expect you to have great medical skills, young man.

“A poster?”

“In reality, it would be more efficient to be hanging on the front door rather than sitting in the treatment room.”

“Putting the treatment room outside the front door also seems like a good idea.”

“Oh, is that a good idea?”

Jin So-ah sighed when he saw the perfectly combined antics of Wei Yan-ho and Ha Dae-bung.

“Even if possible, isn’t there no money?”

“There is money.”

“Didn’t you say young hero Wei’s money isn’t enough?”

That’s not what’s important, what’s important is your will.

“Excuse me?”

Wei Yan-ho looked at Jin So-ah with drowsy eyes for a while before opening his mouth.

“Do you have the will to make the Sacred Hand Hall the largest medical home in Central Plains again?”

“…I don’t think he’s ever been the best of the central plains.”

“Anyway!”

“Of course I do!”

“Even if difficulties and trials come with it?”

A man is born to die once, not twice! If he could be considered the best doctor in the world, he would be willing to endure any tests.

“Really?”

Wei Yan-ho smiled.

“Bring paper, brush and ink.”

At the words of Wei Yan-ho, Ha Dae-bung asked his subordinate for paper, brush and ink. When the door was opened and writing materials entered, Wei Yan-ho offered him the paper.

“Now, write.”

“…write what?”

“I, Jin So-ah, swear from now on I will only practice medicine as a doctor at the Sacred Hand Hall and follow the instructions of Wei Yan-ho, the master of the Sacred Hand Hall.”

“Why, why is Young Hero Wei the master of the Sacred Hand Hall?”

Wei Yan-ho spoke with an empty face.

“You have money?”

“No.”

“Do you have a building?”

“No.”

“Do you have food to eat right now?”

“No.”

Wei Yan-ho let go of a hollow laugh.

“So you’re asking me to take you, that you have no money or place, and make you the master of the Sacred Hand Hall?”

“…that sounds like something very brazen.”

“Well, that’s lucky.”

Wei Yan-ho snapped his tongue and pushed the paper back to Jin So-ah.

Externally, we’d say you’re the master of the Sacred Hand Hall. I know that if someone like me walks around a medical home, they just get people to look at it with bad eyes. But the money I invest there will all be mine.

“And then what do I eat and what do I live from?”

Wei Yan-ho turned his head to look at Ha Dae-bung.

“What did you say?”

“Wage worker.”

“Did you hear that?”

Jin So-ah rebelled in awe.

Are you telling me, descendant of the Sacred Hand Hall, to work for hire, and in a newly built Sacred Hand Hall?

“Yes.”

“Young hero Wei, this doesn’t seem right.”

Jin So-ah rebelled fiercely.

Of course, my desire to succeed is sincere. My desire to revive the Sacred Hand Hall is also extremely sincere. My desire to prove to my sister, that she tries to tie me up, that I can stand by myself is also sincere. But that is when I stand firm with my own strength.

“Oh.”

While watching Jin So-ah speak with motivational eyes, Wei Yan-ho continued to nod.

“Like a man.”

“Like a true man.”

It was as if they were watching a child come out of its shell and become an adult before their eyes.

“How refreshing.”

Wei Yan-ho coincided with Ha Dae-bung’s words. Such a spectacle was something only a child of that age could show.

I appreciate the proposal, but I will find my own way. Following the words of the young hero Wei does not seem to be my way.

Jin So-ah’s eyes were full of spirit.

This was a scene where the strength of a prestigious medical family was felt. Although Jin So-ah suffered, Jin Ye-ran’s education was certainly preparing him to be a doctor without any deficiency.

“Hmm, good.”

A very good decision.

Wei Yan-ho also recognized that a man must have that great spirit.

However, the spirit is only spirit.

“But… don’t we have a problem to solve before that?”

Wei Yan-ho put his hand on his chest, pulled out a document and handed it to Jin So-ah.

Jin So-ah looked at the document Wei Yan-ho was holding him with a bewildered face.

“What is this?”

“An IOU.”

“What?”

Jin So-ah received the document with shaky hands. It was a document stipulating that Jin So-ah would return twenty nyang of gold to Wei Yan-ho, which Jin So-ah had previously signed at the gambling house.

“…Young Hero Wei?”

Wei Yan-ho yawned and spoke.

The way of a man, the way of a real man, is fine. Then return the money first.

“…”

Jin So-ah felt deeply in his bones that life is a real fight.
