How To Live as a Civil Servant in Murim

“ Take this. Sorry for breaking the table and chair.”

“Oh, no. no! This…”

The guesthouse owner was more embarrassed than Yeon Woo-hyuk.

In my life, I had never met a Pok-kwa who would give me a piece of silver.

“All the guests have left, so please receive them.”

“This grace…”

The owner of the inn was in tears. Seeing such exuberance, I felt ashamed for swearing at them in my usual way.

“What are you doing?”

“As an apology for breaking the table and chair, I gave you a little hermit.”

“her.”

Jegal-gyu was slightly dazed at Po-kwae’s words.

I hadn’t even thought of that part, and even if I had, I never imagined that Pogwae would consider such a thing.

“Give that hermit back to Po-kwae. I will pay.”

Jegalgyu split the hermit and held it out.

Originally, I should have been displeased with the owner of the inn who had my bag stolen because I couldn’t even manage the shop, but I didn’t feel that way when I saw the owner’s face.

Not most of the time, but very occasionally it could be pleasant to give hermit.

Now was such a moment.

“Do you have a Kyu? I heard you were here.”

“!”

A strange visitor appeared at the entrance of the inn, where it seemed that no guests would come for a while. Excellent martial arts at a young age. And while comfortably singing Jegalgyu. I could guess who Yeon Woo-hyuk was.

‘The other five generations are warriors.’

Insa Paengjuseong (1)

Of course, that wasn’t the only reason Yeon Woo-hyuk judged his opponent.

A large sword on the back and a bone that is one head larger than that of Zhuge Gyu. An exterior that feels a well-trained exterior rather than a deep interior.

‘Isn’t it the middle of the five generations?’

“Is Pang here?”

The speculation soon turned out to be true.

Jegal-gyu woke up innocent guests and bullied them, but he was quite polite in front of Paeng Ju-seong in Hebuk Paengga. Paeng Juseong looked around the inn and scratched his bearded cheek.

“Awesome! I didn’t know Kyu Ah would stay in a place like this. They say I can stretch out and sleep in a place like this…”

“I was in a hurry, so I had no choice. That, and it wasn’t originally an inn that was messed up like this.”

Jegal-gyu urgently made an excuse, perhaps because he was ashamed of the mess on the first floor. The owner of the inn looked at it and quickly removed the broken wreckage. Yeon Woo-hyeok helped the owner of the inn. The owner of the inn nodded with tears in his eyes.

“hahahaha. Now, if you can sleep in a place like this, it’s good for Kyu-ah. It’s good to have a lot of guesthouses where you can sleep, isn’t it better to have less? What else could have happened?”

As Paeng Ju-seong was also a Murim person, he must have guessed that there was a commotion in the inn.

And even though there were warriors of the five generations like Zhuge Gyu, not many had the guts to make a fuss.

“Actually, that is it.”

Jegal-gyu was a little embarrassed, but he explained what had happened while it had happened. Paeng Ju-seong was shocked when he heard how the two cunning thieves were stealing the wallets of guests who entered the inn.

“Then did the owner of the inn do it? No, why did you leave it like that?”

The innkeeper, who was sweeping away the broken pieces of wood with a bush clover, trembled in surprise.

“That’s not it. Peng brother. So, the thief was a janitor and a shopkeeper. The jeomsoi signaled above, and the thief stole it.”

“Ugh. I don’t know.”

Paeng Juseong scratched his bearded cheek once more. Seeing this, Jegalgyu smiled bitterly.

Peng Jusheng, who was born in Paengga in Hebuk and had excellent martial arts talent, was a military man with a generous and chivalrous personality and many friends.

It’s not something I’m proud to say, but because of family customs, Zhuge Gyu couldn’t hide his dislike of fools and fools.

Because of this, there were not many friends in Murim, and one of the few friends was Lee Paeng Ju-seong.

However, Paeng Juseong also had a downside, and it was that he was very dull at things that required him to use his brain.

‘But Pang has a friend like me, so it doesn’t matter.’

Jegal-gyu thought that such a shortcoming was not a problem for Peng Ju-seong.

What’s wrong with having a friend like you by your side helping you?

Paeng Juseong’s strength was his open-mindedness to ask questions without being ashamed of what he didn’t know.

“Anyway, all the thieves were caught. Thanks to this kite exhilaration.”

“okay. Isn’t that exhilaration great?”

Paeng Juseong’s eyes sparkled as he listened only to the beginning and end of the long conversation.

“By the way, what is Pang doing here?”

“Uh ha ha! Kyu Oh. He must be still bewildered because someone almost took the bag. Why am I here?”

“That… ah. Could it be because of the back face?”

“okay.”

“You came because of such false rumors.”

“I am not alone. Other friends also came along. really. Sojeo also came.”

Yeon Woo-hyeok, who was listening to the conversation while clearing the rubble, smiled inwardly when he saw Jegal-gyu’s expression change.

Even without a spiritual eye, one could tell that Zhuge Gyu had feelings for Sojeo of the Tang family.

“The white-faced Shintou is a thief who made a lot of noise in Moorim five years ago.”

Without even asking, Jegal-gyu explained to Yeon Woo-hyeok. The tone was much more respectful than when we first met.

Thieves periodically appeared in Murim. Just looking at the thieves who were targeting Jegal-gyu’s bag immediately showed that there were more thieves than expected.

Of course, most of them ended up being caught and had their wrists cut or their throats cut, or one of the two. Sometimes there were thieves who greeted both together.

However, if he overcame such a risk and built up notoriety, the thief could gain the honor of receiving a special title with his own fighting spirit.

Baekmyeonshintu was one of those glorious thieves. If he hadn’t touched the wall of Namgung family five years ago, he would have become a more glorious thief.

Originally, rumors related to the brutally dead thief should have disappeared in about five years, but strange rumors began to circulate in the past half a year.

-It is said that Baekmyeon Sintu copied the martial arts of the Gupailbang and the Five Greats before he was alive.

-I heard that the white-faced Shintou hid the level of martial arts somewhere.

In principle, the ambiguous martial arts received by Yeon Woo-hyeok were martial arts that should not be leaked to the outside world, especially if they were from a prestigious political faction.

Once leaked out, it could literally blow blood in the vicinity. No matter how much it was a political faction, it could have killed all the witnesses if the martial arts of the Mun faction took place.

Naturally, these rumors stimulated the Murim people.

Murim people from non-prestigious political factions are greedy for secret documents.

Murim people from a prestigious political faction, for the purpose of recovering secret documents, receiving recognition from monks, and appreciation from other sects.

Of course, Jegal-gyu was uninterested.

“Brother Peng. How many times have you said No matter how you look at it, the rumor makes no sense. Baekmyeonshintu is dead, and even if there are subordinates or disciples of Baekmyeonshintu, why would they spread such rumors? It’s probably some pomp or eccentric who spread the rumor. Aren’t there people in the world who want to laugh while watching others go crazy?”

‘hmm. That person seems to have few friends.’

Yeon Woo-hyuk thought to himself.

At first glance, Zhuge Gyu’s words were logical, but in fact, they were not words to say in the current situation.

Paeng Ju-seong has come a long way with other friends, but it doesn’t sound good to say ‘That’s nonsense’.

The middle course was to reply, ‘Cheer up, you will definitely find Peng,’ and the best course was, ‘I will come with you and help you’.

Yeon Woo-hyuk thought that Jegal-gyu had no friends.

“Uh ha ha! That’s right. that’s right. It makes no sense.”

However, rather than being angry, Paeng Juseong laughed loudly.

“When I heard it, I thought it made no sense. But isn’t there such a thing as one thing? And other friends want to come, but I can’t stop them again. finally.”

Paeng Juseong put his hand on Zhuge Gyu’s shoulder.

“I thought it would be okay even if it was just a rumor since my younger brother Kyu was here. how is it. will you help me?”

“All right. Brother Pang says so.”

‘That person must have many friends.’

“And what if I ask for help from Pokkeok too?”

“?!”

When Paeng Ju-seong suddenly called, Yeon Woo-hyeok was startled.

It was a completely unexpected call.

“You mean a lot of fun?”

“okay. Hearing Kyu-ah say, you seem to be very smart.”

“Not at the smart level. Pang, do you know anything about supernatural powers? In an old book…”

“ah. ah. I don’t know.”

Paeng Juseong thought of Jegalgyu as a good younger brother, but he did not want to hear about books.

“Anyway, isn’t it a good skill?”

“Ugh. you’re right. It might help if you take him.”

“Ah Kyu must be great enough to say this. Be sure to take him with you.”

Yeon Woo-hyuk was very embarrassed when he suddenly came along.

Of course, if you look at Yeon Woo-hyuk’s situation, he had to make friends with the Moorim people.

He had to continuously train his martial arts and peek at a high level, but this was impossible unless he got along with the Moorim people.

However, Yeon Woo-hyuk’s original idea was closer to preparing and approaching it step by step.

I was thinking about what it would be like to get the position of Podu by making a big achievement, then pay a lot of bribes to get a proper official position such as a judge or chugwan, and use the official position to meet the Murim people, but such a sudden meeting.

Isn’t it a place teeming with Murim people who are blinded by greed rather than even peaceful encounters!

“I am honored to have made the offer, but I have a job to do as an exorcist.”

“Can’t we fall for a minute?”

“It’s not possible! Although my position is low, I am definitely a person who works for the country and receives a green salary. How dare you be lazy?”

“Uh… exhilaration?”

Paeng Juseong scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

Aren’t Podu and Pokewa usually the ones who treated Paeng Juseong as the royal priest, saying that they would do whatever they were told to do, even if they were given only one chain silver?

“you’re right. Great deal! This kite Poke is a rare Ming Poke and a true loyalist in Hanjing! If there were only such people among the officials, no one would die of starvation!”

“……”

Yeon Woo-hyeok was more embarrassed when the owner of the inn swallowed his saliva and came out trembling.

Thank you, but it seemed a bit excessive.

“Brother Peng. The owner is right here. This kite exorcist is a man who does not accept bribes, but rather uses his own money to help poor merchants.”

“No… that’s…”

Yeon Woo-hyeok tried to stop Jegal-gyu from speaking.

Something had gone wrong.

It is a natural thing for a human being to ask if the inn was broken, but it sounded strange to say that he helped with his own money.

Doesn’t Yeon Woo-hyeok look like Cheongbaek-ri, whom only the people know?

It was an illusion of wanting to decline from Yeon Woo-hyuk’s point of view, who had to see the opportunity and collect hermits in moderation.

“How wonderful! Did you have that kind of exhilaration? When I was at Sega, I saw more than dozens of Pokeh, but I’ve never seen one like Kite Poke!”

“…Thank you for the undeserved compliment.”

Instead of pointing it out, Yeon Woo-hyeok quickly got out of this place and decided to be careful of the Moorim people for a while.

However, Yeon Woo-hyeok looked at the name of the Jegal family too funny.

“So, Pang hyung. Let’s go directly to Fodu and talk to him, and let’s borrow the kite’s trick. If rumors were a village of money, it wouldn’t be too far from Hankyung, but isn’t it the right thing to do to prevent bloodshed in that village?”

“Ah Kyu. You really are my friend!”

“It is overrated. Pang hyung.”

‘The Moorim people are really annoying.’

* * *

The four players readily agreed to take Yeon Woo-hyuk with them.

In fact, Opodu accepted because all of the exorcists hid after only seeing the hem of the Murim people’s clothes, but acceptance was acceptance anyway. O Fudou looked at the kite with admiration.

– They said it was a joke. There is nothing wrong with the old saying. Yes!

-There is a word called “Bride tribe” (信斧斫足), but…

– What did you say?

-it’s nothing.

There were already several people who seemed to be Murim people wandering around Palgang Village, where rumors were circulating.

Jegal-gyu gave Po-kwae a look of deep trust.

“If you see a suspicious Moorim, tell me right away.”

“The Murim man walking over there just killed three people.”
