Chapter 122: The Clean Hanjung Campaign
When I announced the ‘Clean Hanjung Campaign’ in a sincere tone, everyone voluntarily expressed their willingness to participate.
“From now on, if anyone takes bribes, I’ll break their arms and legs.”
“…”
Truly the integrity befitting a warrior of the Great Dragon Fortress.
Of course, they might only act this way in front of me.
Behind my back, they’ll likely continue secretly exchanging bribes as before.
So what can I do?
What can I do?
I’ll have to catch them red-handed with the skills I’ve honed in the outer court.
Just like this.
“What are you doing?”
“Gah!”
Less than a moment after heading out to inspect the city gates, I spotted a merchant handing a bribe to a guard.
I immediately unfolded my royal banner and landed behind the man.
Startled by my unexpected appearance, the guard waved his hands frantically.
“Th-this isn’t a bribe!”
“Then what is it?”
“It’s money I lent him.”
As he averted his gaze from the stubborn man, he asked the merchant.
“Don’t you know that getting caught giving bribes means prison?”
“It’s not a bribe…”
“No good. Gold Seal.”
“Yes.”
“You two, violating the Kim Young-ran Act… No, arrest them for bribery. Confiscate all goods. The details will be sorted out at the division.“
Arrest them without a warrant.
Only in the martial world, where the judicial system was a mess, was such a thing possible.
”Yes.“
Then the merchant threw himself face-down on the floor.
Thud.
”I made a mistake! Please spare me just this once!”
