How To Live as a Civil Servant in Murim

The guests showed displeasure and embarrassment, but could not refuse.

“Search all over.”

“yes!”

The servant followed Jegal-gyu’s orders and searched the guest’s luggage and searched the room.

But the anterior bag did not come out.

“……”

Unexpectedly, Jegalgyu’s face blurred. I thought he was a stupid thief, but he seemed to have enough wits to hide the stolen bag.

“Hey, Daehyeop. Where is the law that there are thieves among us who stole? If it’s Sintu, it might fly up the wall and steal it.”

“Don’t say anything nonsense. Would a Shinto with such talent have nothing to do, so would he rob an inn like this?”

Jegalgyu sharply objected. Yeon Woo-hyeok had no choice but to admit that this warrior of the Jegal family was smarter than most of the Pokkeats.

‘It’s definitely true.’

Why would Sintu rob an inn like this? It was clear that the warrior staying in the same inn was jealous of Zhuge Gyu’s attire.

‘Anyway, I’d like you to inquire sooner.’

There were countless cases of theft in guest cups that Yeon Woo-hyeok solved. To narrow down which of these it was, I had to hear who the suspicious guests were.

You could use the spiritual eye to scan it, but Yeon Woo-hyuk didn’t use his abilities randomly anymore. Just as the Murim people did not waste their inner energy, so did their magical powers. I had to learn how to write effectively.

“Let them identify themselves one by one.”

The guests were dissatisfied with Zhuge Gyu’s threat, but they confessed what they were doing.

The short, thin-eyed man was a peddler. Inside the bag, there were feather brushes, yellow hair brushes, and a full supply of food. He was a person who sold pencils and ink.

A man of average height and muscle was a field manager. He said he had visited to meet with relatives not far away. There were tools such as chisels and chisels in the luggage.

The last guest was a gisaeng. In the luggage, there was only one set of clothes and powder used for hwajeon (a type of cosmetics).

After hearing the explanation, Jegalgyu immediately began to question the gisaeng.

“Why are you staying at the inn?”

“Great bargain. You can’t persecute a little girl like this just because she stays in an inn.”

“It’s enough just to explain why. Are you going to mock me?”

“I’m waiting for you.”

The gisaeng was not shaken by Jegal-gyu’s momentum. Rather, the sudden confession made Jegal-gyu flinch.

“Jeongin? which one…”

“Great bargain. Even if a knife goes into his throat, how can he sell Jeong-in’s name? Even if you do that and hear Jeongin’s name, wouldn’t Jeongin be angry?”

“……”

A deep wrinkle formed between Jegalgyu’s brow. Now, this gisaeng was threatening again, saying, ‘Won’t you regret hearing Jung-in’s status?’ I don’t know if it was a bluff or not, but it was like a blow.

The other guests and the owner of the inn looked at the gisaeng with admiration. The fidelity shown by the gisaeng deserved respect.

“Great bargain. There is one person I doubt.”

“Who is that?”

“It is him.”

The courtesan laughed and pointed at the servant. The servant’s complexion turned leaden.

“If you went through everyone’s luggage and found your room, but he still didn’t come out, shouldn’t you be suspicious of him?”

“Shut up!”

Jegal-gyu did not waver and glared at the courtesan. He was a servant who had been taking care of Jegalgyu since he was a child. I wasn’t shaken by those words.

However, it seemed that the other guests and the inn owner were persuaded.

“Great bargain. Just in case…”

“I’d rather call Podu. You can’t be like this all day, can you?”

Jegalgyu bit his lip. For a moment, Po-gwa, who was standing still next to him, caught his eye. Despite the chaotic flow of the situation, Pokke was immersed in deep thought as to what he was thinking.

“What are you thinking? Does anyone have any doubts?”

“ah. sorry. I should have told you first. I was thinking about where that field manager might have hidden the hermit.”

“what?”

“Look. If it’s a field farm, your fingernails should contain iron rust. But aren’t his fingernails clean? That’s a person whose calluses are tired from other things.”

Yeon Woo-hyuk, who heard the guest and immediately realized the culprit, picked out a suspicious point from the fake nightclub and threw it away. Everyone’s eyes were simultaneously focused on the fake field manager.

‘Nails!’

Jegal-gyu opened his eyes at the field manager’s fingernails.

For a long time, Jegalgyu had already known that a person who wielded a hammer and touched iron in front of a red-hot brazier would leave some permanent marks, and one of them was that the color of his fingernails would change.

However, I hadn’t thought to check the field manager’s nails.

In a sudden situation, who checks the color of the nails that can’t be seen at first glance? I just judged him to be a yajang because he had a strong body and muscles, and he had tools that a yajang could use.

Jegalgyu was ashamed of himself. A person with the name of Sega couldn’t find a single thing like this.

And I admired Pokkeek next to me. To realize this in the blink of an eye.

‘Couldn’t it be that what the governor said was a lie?’

Jegal-gyu still couldn’t figure out the reason why the commander-in-chief had been praising the young man so much.

But what if that compliment had no particular intention?

What if that exhilaration really caught the thief with a clear judgment?

Then the praise of the general made sense. How thankful he must have been for the unexpected catch of the thief.

Thinking like that made me feel ashamed once again. He was a Jegal-gyu who had to command his subordinates and give orders. That’s why I needed eyes to see the talents of my subordinates, but I couldn’t notice it even when I heard it in front of my eyes.

Po-kwae, who had guessed the thief at once, was just immersed in thought with a womanly expression on his face. Reaction came first among others.

“Yeah, that’s right! Great deal! His fingernails are clean!”

“Oh… that is truly amazing. great deal.”

“Oh, no. Misunderstanding! My fingernails were originally unusual, so they never rusted. Did you check my luggage!”

The field manager was embarrassed and made excuses. Only then did Yeon Woo-hyuk, who was lost in thought, open his mouth.

“ah. I just remembered it now. It is Jeomsoi who helped me with that field. As long as the night manager was in the room, he couldn’t see the servant going out. Jeomsoi must have sent a signal from the first floor.”

Unlike Yajang, Jeomsoi couldn’t manage her face. With fear and tension at the sudden situation, Jeomsoi made a croaking sound.

It took Yeon Woo-hyuk a bit of time to remember which of the incidents he had solved in his head and what the inside story was like, but in the eyes of the people around him, it was as if he had inferred the inside story of all of this just by thinking about it for a moment. seemed The peddler was to the point of showing a fearful expression.

“Search Jeomsoi’s room carefully. The anterior bag will come out.”

“Jumsoi’s room? Shouldn’t you have thrown it out the window and let someone else pick it up?”

“It is not. great deal. Those two didn’t steal once or twice. If you throw it outside and even a passer-by sees it, you can catch it right away. They would have thrown it out of sight from inside the inn. from top to bottom.”

Yeon Woo-hyuk pointed to a tree nestled in the center of the ‘ㅁ’-shaped structure. It was easy to catch if you threw it from the 2nd floor to the 1st floor. Besides, isn’t it a quiet situation with no guests? Perhaps those two were aiming for that too.

“Kuk!”

Jeomsoi pushed the chair aside and ran out. His body was quite nimble, but he hadn’t mastered martial arts. Jegal-gyu immediately stepped forward, blocked the inn’s door, and subdued Jeom-soi.

“If you move, I will cut you!”

In the meantime, the field manager also moved. The field manager held a chisel in one hand and a chisel in the other and glared at Yeon Woo-hyuk. Yeon Woo-hyeok hurriedly checked the other person with the spiritual eye. Surprisingly, he was a master of martial arts.

The level was third-rate like Yeon Woo-hyuk, but even third-rate was not a level that anyone could climb. In order to be recognized, you need to build up your inner workings with your own mental method and learn to practice herbivores.

In other words, the third-rate was at a level where it could be recognized as a Moorim person learning martial arts. There were a lot of rogue boats and gangsters in the dark island who couldn’t even do this.

Yeon Woo-hyuk regretted it inwardly.

‘I should have checked right away when I found out he was the culprit.’

I thought it would be okay with Jegalgyu next to me, but I never thought that the other person would be a thief who had learned martial arts, not just a thief.

Yeon Woo-hyeok is a newcomer to the third-rate.

The opponent had the same level of martial arts, but his movements were familiar and natural, probably because he had a lot of practical experience. It was a state between the middle and the end of the third class.

However, Yeon Woo-hyuk also had a point of believing. It was a magical power that was used for upper-tier battles.

‘Look at the movement!’

“Die, you bastard!”

Yajang planned to kill Yeon Woo-hyuk, who was blocking his sight, and run away through the window. Chisels and chisels were brandished menacingly.

Moorim’s weapons become stronger when they are longer, and more dangerous when they are shortened.

Although Yeon Woo-hyeok had little experience with martial arts, he knew that even if he won the battle, irreparable wounds could be left if he was wronged by that kind of kimun weapon.

‘Fortunately, there is no such thing as poison.’

Yeon Woo-hyeok stepped backwards to avoid the rushing field manager. The Wigukbobeop was an extremely simple one, but it was sufficient in the current situation.

Of course, the field manager moved forward and tried to take Yeon Woo-hyuk’s space. It was difficult to surpass the momentum of moving forward and the stepping back.

At that time, a table blocked the front of the camp. It was because Yeon Woo-hyeok guided him toward the table. The field manager kicked the table in anger. The innkeeper screamed.

However, taking advantage of that gap, Yeon Woo-hyuk was a little more distant. Yeon Woo-hyuk brought a chair this time. The kicked table was lightly blocked and again became an obstacle blocking the way.

The field was to the point of blood gushing backwards in a short time.

It was infuriating that that young, cheerful guy ruined his work by playing with his tongue, but he was so lucky that houses stretched out and blocked the road wherever he retreated.

‘It works!’

Yeon Woo-hyuk was relieved.

If you completely see through the opponent’s movements with your spiritual eyes, you can predict which direction your throw will be extended. Based on that expectation, I hurriedly brought a chair or table, and the effect was much better than I thought.

‘I don’t have a headache yet. I can write more.’

Yeon Woo-hyuk took a deep breath and concentrated. It seemed that he had learned how to use his mind’s eye. The key was not to write for too long or with too much concentration.

And that was enough.

“You lucky son of a b*tch!”

‘loophole!’

The field manager who pushed the table collapsed blatantly. The flow of inner energy that comes out when you spread herbivore food is cut off, and the balance of your body is leaned to one side.

If the opponent was much more advanced, I would have suspected that it was an intentional trick, but the opponent’s level was not very different from Yeon Woo-hyuk. Yeon Woo-hyuk decided to trust his judgment.

‘It’s best to subdue in one blow!’

Of course, Yeon Woo-hyeok had no intention of using the strength of the Sangdan War as he did last time. He intended to use only the few skills he had accumulated in Hadanjeon as much as possible.

Still, if the opponent’s vitals were hit, the suppression would be sufficient.

‘Most…!’

When Yeon Woo-hyeok suddenly rushed at him, the farm manager swung a chisel in panic. Pokewa shook his head lightly to avoid the attack. At the same time, the fist of Pokkeok extended like lightning.

“Ouch!”

The field manager screamed at the strong blow to the chest.

I tried to give strength and hold on somehow, but it was impossible to reach the field level. The field was ruined as it was.

Jegal-gyu, who came running late, looked at Po-kee with amazement.

“Did you learn martial arts?! What kind of martial arts?!”

“I have learned the law of sovereignty.”

“ah.”

Only then did Jegal-gyu feel ashamed when he belatedly recalled that there was a brash martial art given to exuberant people.

“…Still, you have excellent qualities. It looks like the level is the same, but to overpower it at once like this.”

“I was lucky.”

“At Moorim, luck is also skill. What kind of herb was it?”

“It’s Jinchungboguk.”

Jegal-gyu regretted asking the nonsensical herbivore name.

* * *

The guesthouse owner apologized until his forehead touched the ground. Since Jeomsoi stole the customer’s goods, it was not something to just pass it on.

Yeon Woo-hyuk carefully helped the owner of the inn.

“This jeomsoi isn’t usually cunning, so it wouldn’t have been easy to notice.”

‘Thank you, exhilaration!’

The owner of the inn thought while prostrate on the floor.

Usually, I thought that Fodu and Pokke were like bandits stealing money.

Of course, I’ve never given money to that Poke, but…

Jegalgyu frowned and nodded.

“done. I also found the front pouch. Let’s skip this time.”

“Daehyeop is indeed a counselor! I will also tell my children’s children the grace of great cooperation!”

Ignoring Jegalgyu, he took out a hermit from the bag that the servant had brought with him. Originally, it was meant to be cut into pieces, but seeing the skill in finding the jeonnang today, Jegalgyu lost the thought of splitting the hermit.

“Receive.”

“This, this…”

As Po Kwae was embarrassed, Jegal Gyu felt a strange sense of pleasure. It was more satisfying than I thought to see a person who had been calm no matter what happened earlier, and who looked like a master guru, panicked.

“They don’t reward you generously for no reason. You deserve it.”

“thank you. great deal. There is nothing to be ashamed of.”

Zhuge Gyu nodded happily and chatted with the servant. In the meantime, Yeon Woo-hyeok borrowed a tool from the owner of the inn and cut the eunja very thin.
