Chapter 141: Chapter 14

“Master, I see him coming to you see again.”

“Really? What a crazy guy he is!”

What Dolsok and Kanghyok pointed at was none other than Yungil Kim, the mayor of Suwon. Once he started taking v.i.a.g.r.a, he came to see Kanghyok everyday.

“Everybody, clear the way! The mayor of Suwon is coming!”

He came alone at first, but now, he was accompanied not only by his personal servant, but also an official servant and a petty official.

Of course, the mayor was on a horse when he came.

Though Kanghyok's examination room was crowded, it got even more crowded now.

“Good heavens! He came yesterday and he's coming back again today. He might feel sore there.”

Kanghyok looked at Yungil elbowing his way into the examination room.

Of course, Yungil's face was full of smiles. “Hey, Kanghyok. How are you?”

“”I'm fine, sir. How about you?”

“All good thanks to you, man.” And then he cleared his throat and showed him a pouch.

The same pouch Kanghyon saw yesterday, and the day before yesterday.

It was like an exclusive pouch for v.i.a.g.r.a.

“Here you go, sir.”

“Thanks every time.” The mayor took it and turned back to leave.

Kanghyok called him and said, “By the way, sir.”

“Yes? Anything to say?”

It was none other than Kanghyuk who was calling.

The mayor instantly stopped walking and turned back.

“Can you do me a favor?”

“Tell me.” The mayor was ready to accept it. He even vaulted from the saddle.

“Oh my…” those waiting for their turn uttered a low exclamation.

There were only a few in Suwon who could dare make eye contact with the mayor. Naturally, they looked up to Kanghyok as he could do so.

“It's not just that… I heard you had an extra house in the market street.”

The mayor was a typical corrupt official, so Suwon was a rich city like Kaesung, Kanghwa and Kw.a.n.gju.

He apparently owned a vast wealth. He had several houses and rice paddies not only in Suwon, but also in Kyonggi and Hanyang.

“Right, I have one. Are you going to settle there? Have you decided to get married?”

“No, sir. I'm going to open a clinic there.”

“On the market street?”

“Yes, look at this room. Do you think this is good enough for a n.o.bleman like me?” Kanghyok pointed to many servants crowded at the yard and his room.

As if he figured out what Kanghyok wanted, the mayor nodded. “Got it. That's why your father often came out of his house these days.”

“Will you accept my request?” Saying that, Kanghyok looked askance at the mayor.

In fact, it was difficult for commoners like the Aeogae acrobatic team members to visit the examination room. Even those waiting for their turn were all rich n.o.blemen.

‘If I want to get information, I need to use them as much as possible…'

And Kanghyok found it too annoying for his father to keep emphasizing that he had to take the civil service exam. He would no longer hear his father's nagging if he were in the clinic in the market street.

“No problem. I'm going to let you use it in return for the treatment fee. Okay?”

“That sounds good.”

“Got it. Let me send you some servants so you can remodel it. As it recently had a new roof installed, you don't have to remodel it much.”

“Thank you, sir.”

Though the mayor was a corrupt official and a womanizer, he kept the promise he once made. He gave Kanghyok the best out of several houses that he had in the market street.

As the yard was very big, he would have no problem no matter how crowded the patients were.

Kanghyok moved in the house in no time.

Entering it, Dolsok said, “I like this place in the market street. Before I moved here, I found my room too small and stuffy. Now, I feel really good here. By the way, master, what are you going to do with the patients' compensation for your services? They're bringing lots of stuff here everyday.”

“Well, my father's servant would load them on a cart and take it home. I'm not sure if one cart is enough to carry them all.” Kanghyok pointed to a long line in the yard.

In fact, as Dolsok alone found it hard to a.s.sist Kanghyok, some of the Aeogae team were providing a helping hand.

As they happened to have no performance today, Yoni and Makbong helped Kanghyok today. Makbong was handing out a treatment ticket to them.

“Yoni, come over here,” said Kanghyok.

She quickly came to him, answering, “Yes, master.”

“Any update on what I asked you before?”

“Oh, I asked lots of people moving around not only in Suwon but also Ansung and other places… but n.o.body said they heard of the Republic of Korea.”
