Chapter 15: I Am A Friend Of The Governor Of Suwon [3] (1/2)

Anseong was a town that was a day's travel away from Suwon on foot. If he came from such a distance, there must be something urgent that needed consultation. Then, how could he show such an arrogant att.i.tude?

Ganghyuk was struck dumb with amazement.

'But, I should be prepared, just in case.'

Furthermore, this mayor had brought soldiers as well! How could he dare to do that being such a low ranking officer?

Ganghyuk called out with a low voice, ”Dolseok…”

”Yes, sir?”

”Today, the Governor has not come yet. Go and ask him to come.”

”Pardon?”

The Governor came to visit the clinic every day without invitation. Furthermore, after he moved to the marketplace, which was closer to his office and house, he often visited the clinic even twice in a day.

”Go and ask him to come.”

”Eh? Okay, sir.”

How could he not follow the orders of his little master? Dolseok hurriedly went out jostling through the soldiers.

There were many others in the yard who were surprised by the sudden visit of the mayor. Yeoni, who arranged the order of the patients, was dumbfounded as well.

”As the master is seeing patients, please wait for your turn.” She gave the number plate to the official while saying, on which was the number '22' written vividly.

It meant that he would get to see the doctor at the end as he came last.

Seeing this, the mayor's face turned red. He called the doctor, but he did not come out, and some servant gave him a number plate.

He asked his clerk with an angry face, ”What did he say?”

”To wait…”

'Slap'

The mayor slapped the clerk across the face. It was such a hard slap that even Ganghyuk, who was examining another patient inside, was startled. Seeing the ambiance turning foul, the gangsters of the Aeogae performance group were gathering there one by one.

”These guys did not understand. We should teach them a sound lesson.” With the remark of the mayor, his soldiers rushed towards Yeoni. They chased her here and there, but she was very fast, so it was hard to capture her.

Unable to bear the commotion, Ganghyuk finally opened the door and came out while they were in the midst of creating a scene.

”Why is it so noisy? Who is making a fuss here?”

Ganghyuk had finished the examination a few minutes ago, but he took some time to make his appearance tidy. And, the moment he stepped out, he scolded the soldiers with a dignified voice.

”Stop it!”

The mayor lifted his head and looked at the source of the voice, seeing a man wearing a silk robe and jade belt. His face was white as a cotton ball, and his teeth were even; he was clearly a n.o.bleman.

This man was completely different from the mayor himself, who was a short and pockmarked person.

After all, there were always some faces which looked dear, and other faces which looked cheap, regardless of the social status.

The soldiers on the scene tried to breathe silently; some even dropped the clubs that they held in their hands.

Yeoni, who was running away agilely, stopped all of a sudden as well.

The mayor seemed to be surprised on seeing him. It was not long ago that he was appointed as the mayor. He had heard the rumors that there was an excellent doctor in Suwon, but he did not know who he was.

He could not have imagined that the doctor was such a n.o.bleman.

But in a flash, he returned to his arrogant att.i.tude and scolded Ganghyuk back.

”You are rude! Do you know who I am?”

The soldiers of his had shouted the mayor's arrival nearly 100 times up to this point. If he did not know who he was even now, that would have been stranger.

Ganghyuk laughed and asked, ”Are you the mayor of Anseong?”

”Yes. You know who I am and still dare to behave like this? You are rude!”

”Do you know where you are?”

The reason why Ganghyuk rented this place from the governor was not for money. He could rent a place like this with the rewards that he had earned easily, and if not, he could always ask Seungmun.

But, he asked the governor to let him use the house; it was not a purchase, but a rental.

Hearing the remark of Ganghyuk, the mayor seemed quite puzzled. It was a normal house that could be easily found in the marketplace. Admittedly, the size and location was good, though.

”I don't know what you mean, but anyway… How dare you be so rude?” He was still arrogant, albeit a little bit reserved.

On the other side, the soldiers had put their clubs in the pouch on their waists. They thought that the young man in front of them who was now headb.u.t.ting with the mayor must not be a common man.

Ganghyuk became more relaxed as he saw the governor coming to the place in the distance.

'Okay... I guess I will play with him for a while.'

Ganghyuk dropped the pitch of the voice intentionally, ”This house belongs to Governor of Suwon, Kim Yungil.”
