Reveal the names of those who conspired together with Jang Daeseung NPC Knowledge!

Step 3
Grand Minister!
You've arrived.
Step 4
Objective Has anything been uncovered?
Summary Given the victim was a handmaiden,
it's likely the culprit is within the palace, which we are currently investigating.
The wounds on the body
suggest a sharp object was used to pierce the victim.
Step 5
We suspect the supplied weapons might have been used,
so we were about to search the armory...
Step 6
Objective I will see to it.
Summary ...Your Excellency will personally address this?
Understood. I will inform the armory as well.
Step 7
With Your Excellency's efforts,
the culprit will surely be caught.
Step 8
You've arrived, Your Excellency!
Step 9
Objective What happened to the culprit?
Summary They are currently imprisoned
and will soon face judgment.
Step 10
He served in the night guard at Sinmumun Gate,
but apparently accepted bribes to allow the victim to leave the palace.
Step 11
Objective Outside the palace?
Summary The victim's brother accrued significant gambling debts,
and their salary wasn't enough to pay for them all.
Apparently the victim would send any valuables
they acquired within the palace to their family.
Step 12
The culprit demanded increasingly larger payments
each time the victim left the palace.
Step 13
Objective Why was the victim killed?
That is the situation, Your Excellency.
Thank you for your efforts in the investigation.
Summary The victim resisted, claiming they could no longer endure,
and the culprit threatened to reveal everything.
Fearing for their life, the victim and culprit fell into a scuffle,
where the victim was accidentally stabbed with a spear.
Step 14
How do you believe the criminal should be dealt with,
Your Excellency?
Step 15
Objective I believe in strict punishment.
Summary Indeed, I agree as well!
Criminals are a breed of people who must be dealt harshly with the rod.
Only by doing so can we prevent the same crimes from occurring again in the future...
Step 16
Objective Persuasion through words is better.
Summary Perhaps Your Excellency's noble character influences this approach.
I, for one, am a believer of the rod before carrots...
Step 17
If it pleases Your Excellency,
could you inquire with other officials from the Three Bureaus?
Step 18
If Your Excellency intervenes,
progress will be made on this task at hand.
Step 19
Ah, you've returned, Your Excellency?
Thank you for your hard work. What are the opinions of others?
Step 20
Objective The Chief of National Affairs seeks the rod, the Minister of Administration, words.
Summary Understood.
I remain of the same opinion as before, but, factoring in that of Your Excellency,
I believe it's become somewhat easier to settle upon a decision.
Step 21
Objective Alright.
Summary Thank you, Your Excellency.
It's challenging to consolidate differing opinions.
Step 22
Will Your Excellency
be taking part in the "dasi?"
Step 23
Objective What's a "dasi?"
Summary Ah, "dasi" literally means tea time,
but in the Inspection Bureau,
it also refers to the daily meeting of inspectors
to discuss important matters.
So, we were about to brew some tea...
Wait... we're out of tea leaves...
Step 24
Surely, I mentioned yesterday
that we were nearly out of tea leaves!
Step 25
Objective I will fetch the tea leaves.
Summary Really..? If it pleases Your Excellency,
I can provide directions.
Tea leaves are available in the kitchen,
but the Palace Apothecary also uses them as medicinal herbs.
The Palace Apothecary is nearby,
so you can ask the nurses there.
Step 26
I look forward to your return!
Step 27
You've returned, Your Excellency!
Much obliged for your trouble.
Step 28
Objective (Hand over tea leaves.)
Summary Oh... that's a lot of tea leaves. Haha!
Enough to last for at least half a month!
Step 29
Would Your Excellency
care to undertake a simple task?
Step 30
Objective Leave it to me.
Summary Thank you. The task is merely
to submit this document to the Royal Secretary's Office.
This document is an appeal written by the criminal.
The Inspection Bureau often deals with false accusations,
so once we hand it over, His Majesty might consider
pardoning the accused.
Step 31
Please deliver this to the Royal Secretary's Office,
then inform me upon your return!
Step 32
You're here, Your Excellency!
Have you delivered the document to the Royal Secretary's Office?
Step 33
Objective I've delivered it.
Summary Thank you, Your Excellency!
Though the task may have felt simple,
the Inspection Bureau also deal in various tasks
such as overseeing officials and correcting traditional customs!
