The Face Reader Page #5

It's not good to change

scribes often.

But this one likes to drink.

He might develop

dementia later.

Also, he's unstable and

likes to change jobs often.

Are you the

candidate's cousin?

Does he like to drink?

Yes, he drinks like a fish

and then some.

You should hire him

as a wine taster.

Who's that?

Why do you ask?

- He looks...

- What?

Rotten, completely.

52 bags of whole grain.

43 bags of refined grain.

34 rolls of silk

and 40 ounces of silver.

He gathered all these illegally?

How did you know?

He looked so naive.

His eyes are charming

but his mouth is sly.

That's a bad sign.

He'd have ripped off everything

if I had not caught him.

Isn't she the one

who had men troubles?

After you put watermelon seed on her

she's been the talk of the town.

What? She still keeps

the seed on the face?

No, Yeon-hong made her

a mole with pig blood.

Amazing.

Changing one's fate, huh?

Please change mine, too.

This isn't gonna work.

He'll come soon.

Wait here.

What's this?

It's precious ginseng.

- Ginseng?

- Yes.

Come to the front.

Please line up straight.

What's this?

Dried persimmons.

You need to wait.

Put them here.

Why are you on the line?

You're funny.

They're all here to see you.

They want you to read faces and

pick out corrupted officials.

Look what they brought.

Black peppers and ice!

That's cold!

Mr. Kim!

Don't look surprised.

Ice and peppers are silly.

Why are you on the line?

I'm here to see

the greatest face reader

called Mr. Kim.

Follow me.

Where are we going?

I have prepared a nice

place for you near here.

You should come.

I also prepared a palanquin.

A palanquin?

We're partners, aren't we?

Paeng-heon.

Don't you feel like we're

walking on the cloud?

I feel like the world is mine.

Do you want a ride?

Maybe next time?

Is it my fault that there are

so many corrupted officials?

There were always

corrupted officials

under any king

Your Majesty.

But why so many now?

I hired an amazing face reader

as an inspector, Your Majesty.

He's at the Inspection Board.

He's excellent at finding people

who's got anything to hide.

I am Your Majesty's

most humble and

obedient servant.

You can

see through people?

I don't intend to.

It's just...

my humble talent.

That's very intriguing.

However

despite being able to

read people's past

you probably can't read

the future, right?

Isn't that for the gods?

Actually...

if you take a good look

at the past

you can predict the future

quite accurately.

Of course, you can't

know everything

- but the general direction...

- Nonsense!

You should use your

skill to encourage people

not to make them worry.

If that's the case
