¹On September 24, Taemonim commanded Gyeong-seok, “I shall travel to Guritgol Village to address a certain matter, so make ready a white horse and a sedan chair borne by four men.”²The next day, She instructed Cha Yun-deok, “Thoroughly sweep My sleeping quarters and keep watch over it.”

³Soon after, Taemonim had Gyeong-seok don an inner upper garment on which was written imperial command (御命), and then, crumpling a gat and setting it on his head, She conferred upon him the Royal Investigator Dosu, declaring,⁴“You are a secret royal investigator. A secret royal investigator must be disguised in threadbare clothes and a torn gat.”

⁵Taemonim had Gyeong-seok mount the white horse and lead the procession, while She boarded the sedan chair borne by four men and set out for Wonpyeong Village, followed by Cha Yun-chil, Yim Jeong-jun, and Ju Nak-beom.
