How To Live as a Civil Servant in Murim

Even if you heard about this through rumors somewhere, it was a different story to guess what Joo-hee Paeng was thinking before you even heard about it.

As Paeng Ju-seong said, does this Po-kwa really have magical powers?

‘no. but…’

Unlike the clumsy Yangmin, he did not have strange illusions about his magical powers when he was a direct descendant of the five generations. It is to meet a warrior with magical powers at least once or twice in a lifetime.

No matter what kind of eyes you meet, you can read the deep thoughts in your heart, notice what’s happening a hundred miles away…

These things were the stuff of dubious drug dealers.

Even the truly outstanding Buddhist monks were only able to recognize whether the words of the other person were false or not, and even this alone was a powerful enough supernatural power.

Of course, it was impossible to read Joo-hee Paeng’s heart.

“Sorry to startle you.”

Yeon Woo-hyuk immediately continued talking when the opponent looked at him with surprised eyes.

Although he hadn’t played the role of exhilaration for a long time, he had already learned how to leave a strong impression on people.

First, it shows a strong and surprising appearance.

Then, if the other person is too surprised or suspicious, give a reason that the other person can understand.

Then, the opponent took care of it and inflated Yeon Woo-hyuk’s ability to an extraordinary extent in his imagination.

Yeon Woo-hyuk’s supernatural power is, after all, the ability to absorb the information around him in detail. It was just that far, but I couldn’t manipulate or read people’s minds.

No matter how much Yeon Woo-hyeok has solved countless cases that happened in Moorim, there are times when strength takes precedence over logic.

‘Actually, not even sometimes.’

At that time, there was no guarantee that Yeon Woo-hyuk would always be able to convince everyone around him. It was also important to inflate and imagine one’s abilities to some extent in this way. If it was someone who didn’t know how to look, he could have been scared and made him confess.

‘…And exhilaration is too recognizable.’

I feel it every time we talk, but the perception of the job as exhilarating is several times worse than Yeon Woo-hyuk’s understanding.

They are good people and Murim people, and they hate it when they meet, but what about high-ranking officials?

Even if you pay a bribe later and aim for a higher official position, there will be numerous competitors, but a plausible reputation will be a strong help.

“Seeing that you said it was a mysterious thing enough to ask a person like me, I wondered if someone had died. It’s easy to think of encountering a bandit or seriously ill if someone died on a long journey, but in that case you wouldn’t have asked me. If so, I wondered if one of the couple had killed someone and camouflaged it.”

“Your wife could have killed you?”

Paeng Ju-hee unknowingly asked a question in a comfortable manner. Yeon Woo-hyuk replied politely.

“Since I went to see my relatives, it must be my husband who brought up the story, and if so, I thought it was highly likely that he did it.”

“indeed. But how did you guess I knew the inside story?”

“It’s that simple. The person who inherited the blood of the Great Hebei Paeng family couldn’t have guessed and asked this question.”

At Yeon Woo-hyeok’s flattery, Paeng Joo-hee smiled. Flattery that sounded good even when you knew it was flattery was rare.

“Is it flattery? The prestige of the Hebei Paengga is great, but there is no wisdom in that prestige.”

To that, Yeon Woo-hyuk did not respond. Because sometimes the best answer is to stay still.

Paeng Joo-hee continued talking as if she hadn’t expected an answer.

“Amazing. My brother doesn’t have a bad eye for people, but that doesn’t mean he’s good at listening to bluffs. I brought a really talented exo… Ah. but. Zhuge Sohyup brought them.”

“He asked me to bring Pang Dae-hyeop too.”

Paeng Joo-hee didn’t believe it much, so she only shrugged her shoulders.

“Amazing. amazing. …So, about that husband. What do you think should have been done? Hyun-ryeong was incompetent and passed on without being able to solve the problem, and when I heard about it, it was too late. I couldn’t bring my husband in for questioning without any grounds.”

Upon receiving the question, Yeon Woo-hyuk carefully recalled the incident from his memory.

A couple who run a clothing store stop by the village and their wife gets stabbed and falls down.

“Who was the first to find the body?”

“huh?”

“A corpse. of the wife.”

“Um… my husband found it.”

“Where is the location?”

“Was it a bush near the village?”

“Isn’t it strange that the husband discovered it first, rather than the villagers familiar with the surrounding geography? If it were me, I would have interrogated them for that reason.”

“…He’s better than Jegal Sega!”

Paeng Joo-hee slapped Yeon Woo-hyuk on the back. I felt like my body was shaking even though I didn’t contain my history.

“Kuck… That’s an exaggerated statement.”

It was embarrassing to hear such praise for a case that had already been solved. Above all, saying that Jegal Sega is better than Jegal Sega was good for being stabbed by Jegal Sega’s warriors.

“ah. I didn’t tell you what I needed to hear. sit down.”

Paeng Joo-hee patted the side and began to explain. He thought that anyone with this kind of talent deserved to know about the current situation.

“Actually, I know roughly where the treasure of the Baekmyeon Shintou is now.”

“yes? Is that so?”

This party, composed of soldiers who followed Peng Juseong and those close to Peng Juseong, was more capable than I thought.

It is incomparable to the level of the other nangs, the nabbers, grabbing a passing woodcutter and threatening to ‘blow as much as you know’.

First, they checked when the rumors started to circulate, where they started to circulate, and they also got a few copies of the jangbodo and confirmed where they were pointing.

‘No, you’re more competent than I thought!’

Yeon Woo-hyuk was surprised.

I thought it was just a meeting of the young, thoughtless Moorim exponents…

Well, if you were a member of the five great families, you could solve the problem without thinking. It was because I was able to confirm and judge the truth of the rumor with the power of my family right away.

“I also checked the new grocery store that I just brought, and the location is the same. It’s alive. Nestled in Mt. Palgang.”

Paeng Joo-hee pointed to the mountain on the other side of the village with her finger. It was quite a tall and dense mountain.

“You’ve got the location, but you’re not leaving yet… is there a difference of opinion?”

Paeng Joo-hee tapped the blade of the long sword with a joyful expression at the sharp words of Pok-kwa. It’s always been a pleasure to talk to smart people.

“okay. After all, going to the living room and fighting is something you have to calculate.”

The bandits were not as easygoing as they thought. Their martial arts may be lacking, but their innate cruelty and savagery make up for it.

In particular, it used to react very sensitively to those who invaded its territory, and herbivores and hunters were the main victims. Once caught, their throats were cut and their bodies hung from trees.

It was completely different to find a secret rank in a bright and open place with the dignity of the five generations, and to fight to the death with relentless bandits in a dark, damp and roadless place. It was no wonder that people who did not like to enter came out.

-That’s why shopping is also suspicious, and rumors…

-If you think about it that way, there is nothing you can do! The rumor must have spread because of the guy who brought the jangbodo. The other shopping carts must have been drawn and sold by a fence.

-Pang hyung! Please make your decision.

-Pang hyung! Please make your decision.

‘ah. Was that why they were arguing?’

In the meantime, Jegalgyu went wild.

“To be stupid. Would he be that stupid even if he had subordinates and disciples of the blindfold? Enough to ask such a suspicious vagrant fence?”

“It could be that a wanderer has found a safe house or a hiding place for a baekmyeonshintu!”

“Wouldn’t a white-faced Shintou have handled things like that!”

“What else can I not do!”

‘this.’

Yeon Woo-hyeok felt sorry for the atmosphere that changed with the appearance of Jegal-gyu.

Opinions that had been split in half began to gravitate toward one side.

…on the other side of Zhuge Gyu.

Those who didn’t want to go into the living room, but when they said that Jegal-gyu was stupid, they started shouting to go in to see if there was a mischief.

‘sh*t. I could have just quietly returned.’

Even if I regretted it, the atmosphere was already over. Peng Juseong nodded and made a decision.

“Go check it out. Even if there’s nothing, there’s nothing wrong with subduing the bandits.”

* * *

‘Wild vegetables, Jangbo-do, secret…’

Yeon Woo-hyuk frowned and tried to extract clues from the cases he had solved.

The cases that Yeon Woo-hyeok solved did not answer the huge question like ‘why are rumors circulating about secret secrets hidden by Baek-myeon Shin-too?’

Rather, it was only told in this way, such as the case of four people who died while looking for secrets, and the case of the mysterious Moorim man who made the atmosphere go bad whenever he spoke.

There were countless cases that were resolved in this way, so it was only up to Yeon Woo-hyeok to remember which of them were related to non-emergency matters.

‘What happened in the sanchae? Poisoning all the bandits… not looking at the surrounding terrain. Are they bandits dueling over beautiful children? No… I don’t think so. Murim people go around because of their budget, so they wouldn’t do such an idle thing.’

Pak, Papa Pak-

It was not easy to enter the mountain without roads, but the stamina of the Moorim people made it possible. As the Murim people at the forefront wielded weapons, an unprecedented path was created.

Paeng Ju-hui took out a string that looked like a flower monk and lit it on fire. It was a type of mosquito repellent made from dried mugwort.

After coming out of the Sichuan Tang Gate, Dangryeong took out a scented bag and shook it slightly. Then the bugs did not dare to approach.

Yeon Woo-hyuk checked the insects flying around with his spiritual eye. Then, he slowly moved towards Yeomilrim and avoided the insects. Yeom Il-rim had a constitution that many insects clung to.

loyalist Yeon Woo-hyeok (1)

There was no way Yeom Il-rim could not have noticed such a movement.

I didn’t think it was because of the bugs, but Yeom Il-lim was uncomfortable with the sight of the thorn in his eyes.

“go away. Cheerful bastard.”

‘It’s a bit slow to grasp the situation.’

Yeon Woo-hyeok wasn’t afraid of him as long as he was from a minor family belonging to an unheard-of political faction.

Of course, if Yeon Woo-hyeok was just exhilarating, Moorim people like Yeom Il-rim would have to be afraid, but Yeon Woo-hyuk wasn’t just exhilarating.

Isn’t it an exhilarating supernatural power that is evaluated as having excellent talent by martial artists, including Paeng Ju-seong?

“Salt Colossus.”

“What?”

“Did you know that Daehyeop Pang took good care of me?”

“What do you mean? Don’t you think he doesn’t know that you tricked Peng with nonsensical rumors?”

“Do you prefer me to go to Peng Dahyeop and tell him that Yeom Dahyeop was gifted with the gift of betraying his brother-in-law, or would you prefer me to tell him that the master of Yeom Dahyeop is the master who saves his brother-in-law with the principle of an aquatic tree?”

“…You crazy bastard!”

Yeom Il-lim, who was hit by Po-kwae, whom he had ignored, was stunned.

He glared at him like he was going to kill him, but he didn’t care and looked at Yeom Il-rim. Those eyes seemed to pierce Yeom Il-rim’s lungs, giving me goosebumps.

“ruler. What would you like?”

“What do you want? what??”

“I just ask you not to persecute me too much. I came to work as a cheerleader, but if Daehyeop Yeom continues to persecute me, how will I work?”

Yeom Il-rim, biting his lip and pondering, nodded.

It was humiliating, but there was nothing good for Yeom Il-lim because he had a fight with Po-gwae. There were even more Moorim people besides Paengjuseong who liked that exhilaration…

“thank you. Salt Daehyeop!!”

Yeon Woo-hyuk said thank you and grabbed Yeom Il-rim by the back of his neck and pulled him vigorously.

Yeom Il-lim was surprised when the power of exhilaration was stronger than he thought. It was an impossible power if you hadn’t mastered martial arts.

‘What is this guy?’

Shih!

An arrow was pierced in front of Yeom Il-rim’s foot. Paeng Juhui was surprised to see that.

No matter how low Yeom Il-rim’s realm is compared to the warriors of the five generations, such as Paeng Ju-seong and Paeng Ju-hee, I would never have thought that the response would be slower than that of Bok-kwa.

Yeom Il-rim had a confused look on his face as to whether he should be surprised that the arrow came out, or whether he should be angry that Pokkye pulled it, or be grateful to him.

Meanwhile, Jegalgyu pulled out an arrow. A letter was tied to the end of the arrow.

“What is written on it?”

“They say they will kill you if you walk further in the name of green forest.”

“under!”

All the Moorim people present seemed to laugh at him.

It wasn’t because he looked down on the greenery. In fact, the power of green forest was hard to ignore in Moorim. To the extent that even the five generations and the old file rooms do not dare to collide.

However, that was the story of those who formally formed a blood alliance called Green Forest Seventy-two. In Murim, there were far more unlicensed Nokrimchaes that did not belong to this clan.

Originally, the word green forest existed before the seventy-two green forests formed a blood alliance, so it was not strange even if the bandits called themselves green forest. Green Forest Seventy-two also generously allowed their names to the bandits.

But it was just there.

No matter whether the bandits sold the name of Green Forest 72 or not, no matter who attacked or subjugated Green Forest 72, they did not pay any attention to the wild buildings they did not form a blood alliance with.

Palgangchae here is a wild vegetable that has nothing to do with Green Forest 72chae.

Of course, from the perspective of the Moorim people, no matter how much the name of Green Forest was sold, it was bound to be laughable.

“These are the guys who jumped overboard when they couldn’t get enough of kneeling.”

“Get in quickly and deal with it.”

Yeon Woo-hyeok cautiously asked Paeng Joo-hee.

“What level of martial arts are the bandits?”
