How To Live as a Civil Servant in Murim

“!”

Peng Juseong was taken aback.

“Oh, Woohyuk. no way…”

“older brother. You misunderstood. It’s not that I’m interested in him…”

“Are you thinking of making friends with the elder Jeong Geosa? that’s a really good idea If that old man helps Woohyuk’s younger brother, Hankyung will be really strong!”

“…yes. How do you know my heart so well?”

Yeon Woo-hyeok reflected on himself for ignoring Paeng Ju-seong.

“There is also Sojeo Jeong. Don’t worry. I can help. So that Sojeo Jeong can praise his younger brother.”

“There is nothing like that. If we just need a little time to talk…”

“Human! Just trust me.”

Yeon Woo-hyeok felt a bit uneasy at Paeng Ju-seong’s reaction.

Are you really okay?

“You mean Podu? You are much younger than I thought.”

“Why is Fodu here?”

“Why are you even jealous? I heard it from my father You said you helped your father with his work.”

“Is it true that you subdued Cheolgalbang alone?”

Surprisingly, people’s reactions weren’t that bad.

There were a few people who disputed it, but most of them welcomed Yeon Woo-hyuk even after seeing it, probably because of the rumors these days. Disguised as a subordinate, the red tide whispered nervously.

“Where is the young lady?”

“Please wait.”

“Yeon Podu, Yeon Podu! Can you guess what’s in this box?”

“It’s a sachet.”

“Wow, that’s great! amazing! Did everyone see this?!”

Paeng Ju-seong was very pleased to see Yeon Woo-hyeok, who melted better than he thought.

It didn’t matter if he didn’t have a family name or if he was a Podu. If he was such a gifted younger brother, he deserved to be friends with him.

Yeon Woo-hyeok, who talked with the young people, returned to Paeng Ju-seong. With a more serious expression than expected, Paeng Juseong said teasingly.

“Oh, Woohyuk. why though? Is there any problem?”

“Brother Peng. Sojeo Jeong seems to be missing. I think you need to catch that guy over there and interrogate him.”

“…?!”

Salmak disappearance case (3)

Paeng Juseong was taken aback.

Of course, I knew that Woohyuk had a knack for guessing the culprit just by hearing that someone had died in his seat, but I never thought he would talk about this even after visiting the mountain.

At this point, the thought that Yeon Woo-hyuk might be driving bad luck came to mind like a joke.

“Is it really?”

“yes.”

Yeon Woo-hyuk said calmly.

In fact, this case itself wasn’t a case that would become complicated if it was solved well in the beginning. Even the person who took Jeong So-jeo right away didn’t take him away through an evil and elaborate scheme.

-If I bribe the servants of Sojeo Jeong and have them wander elsewhere, then I will find them and bring them back, they will be deeply impressed!

…It was a childish and immature idea, but the problem was that if I did this in the vast mountains of Gangho, I could really go missing.

And when it actually goes missing, it becomes very complicated to find from here. If that happened, Yeon Woo-hyeok would have to run right away, check the traces, and recall which of the three forked roads he had gone to.

I came out to rest at best, but I didn’t want to run through the mountains without being able to breathe. Yeon Woo-hyeok told Paeng Ju-seong with the determination to finish it as quickly as possible.

“Of course, there are reasons. older brother. When I asked you to guess what was in the box earlier, the sachet…”

Paeng Ju-seong didn’t listen and went to grab the person Yeon Woo-hyeok pointed out. Yeon Woo-hyeok looked at the back of Paeng Ju-seong as if it was absurd.

***

Hyeok Ri-wook was a young man from a prestigious family in Hankyung, who was expected to pass the exam soon with his outstanding learning and writing skills.

As such, at this heritage meeting, many people threw words of praise, but Hyuk Ri-wook answered casually.

My head was full of other thoughts.

‘When should we start?’

When he heard that Jeong Yeo-hye was coming to the heritage meeting, Hyuk Ri-wook thought this was his last chance. If he missed this opportunity, there would be no way to get closer to Sojeo Jeong.

Didn’t they say that they were looking for a marriage here and there in the Chung family of Cheonggun recently? Seeing that there was no contact from his family, it would have been the end if he had left it as it was.

He raked in money he didn’t have to buy the servants of Sojeo Jeong, and succeeded until he gave the wrong place for people to gather. Now all I have to do is ‘I’ll go look for it’ at the appropriate time.

“Look. Hyukri ah.”

“!”

Hyuk Ri-wook was nervous when a large Moorim man suddenly spoke to him. It was Paeng Juseong, a Murim man from Paengga.

To be honest, Hyuk Ri-wook was a little uncomfortable with Paeng Ju-seong. He’s a big-hearted person, but isn’t he a tough moorim? Among the friends who participated in the heritage meeting, there were those who flattered Paengga because of his power, but Hyuk Ri-wook did not want to do that.

“What are you doing?”

“Walk for a while. Go over there.”

“yes?”

Hyuk Ri-wook was taken aback. It was such an outrageous proposition.

“I don’t know what you mean.”

“We’re going to walk, but why?”

“…I don’t feel like that. sorry. I need to get some rest…”

Paeng Juseong smiled and grabbed Hyeokriuk by the shoulder. Hyuk Ri-wook, who was not a Moorim person and was weak, was so painful that he screamed.

However, Paeng Juseong knew that and pointed out Ahyeol first. When Hyuk Ri-wook said with his eyes, ‘Are you crazy?’, Paeng Ju-seong smiled.

“Follow me when I say good things. If you rebel one more time, you may be beaten like a dog in broad daylight.”

“……”

Yeon Woo-hyuk, who was following behind him, was rather frightened. I wasn’t surprised because it was completely different from my usual relaxed impression. It would be even more surprising if he was from the five generations and did not have that level of a pulpit.

Rather…

‘No, I haven’t even heard of this person’s reason, so can I do this?’

No matter how much I believe in Yeon Woo-hyuk, what if I don’t make a mistake…

“I guess this should be enough. ruler. I’ll get rid of the blood, but don’t scream. You’ve come a long way, but if you scream, only you will suffer.”

Hyuk Ri-wook glared at Paeng Ju-seong with a grin as the blood flowed. Peng Jusheng said sternly, not caring.

“Where did you lead Sojeo Jeong? speak quickly.”

“!?”

Hyuk Ri-wook was astonished as if he would faint. The Moorim people and Podu knew the facts that could never be known.

“What cow…”

Paeng Ju-seong bleeds blood again and then strikes Hyuk Ri-wook once more. Yeon Woo-hyeok realized that Paeng Ju-seong had not done it once or twice at the method of inflicting only pain without hurting bones or organs.

“hurry!”

“Cheuk… Cuckoo. Baek, towards Baengnyeonbong… Wrong, wrong.”

“Follow me. Oh Woo Hyuk. You go too.”

“Ah, yes.”

Yeon Woo-hyuk responded with a more polite attitude than before. Seeing Hyuk Ri-wook shed tears, I didn’t even think of refusing.

“I’ll go towards Baekryunbong Peak and turn around once! I’ll be back when I find a nice view, so have a drink first!”

“No, Pang-hyung! When Pang goes, who do we drink with?”

“Hyuk Riuk, why are you going with me?”

“Hyeokri’s younger brother also wants to go with me. hahahaha!”

After Paeng Ju-seong finished talking casually, he took Yeon Woo-hyeok and Hyuk Ri-wook for a ride. Yeon Woo-hyuk asked cautiously.

“By the way, brother. Can you use your hands like this?”

“hahahaha. Wouldn’t you rather keep your mouth shut when you’ve done something?”

“What if I was wrong?”

“There could be something wrong with Woohyuk’s younger brother. hey. Guide me quickly.”

“Hey, this way…”

Hyuk Ri-wook trembled with pain, shame, and humiliation, and came up with an excuse to see if he had come back to his senses after an hour or so.

“It’s not because I had evil intentions.”

“Ah yes. Isn’t it because you want to look good for Jeong So-jeo?”

“Yeah, but why are you being so harsh…!”

“that…”

Yeon Woo-hyuk tried to explain instead of himself.

If Hyuk Ri-wook harbored a grudge against Paeng Ju-seong for no reason, he felt sorry for himself.

“Are you sure you’re the only one who should look good to Jung So-jeo right now? Because of you, Woohyuk’s younger brother here left behind his busy official duties, but it only seems like he wasted his chance. Do you only know yourself?”

“Oh, no. older brother. That’s not it.”

“is not it?”

Paeng Juseong was puzzled.

There was no reason to be angry other than that.

“Even though the mountain here looks relatively low and low, it is still a mountain. You can get lost if you come out simply.”

“no…!”

Hyuk Ri-wook was taken aback by Podu’s words.

What kind of nonsense nonsense is this?

“You can say that now!”

“Lower your voice. Am I your brother?”

When Paeng Ju-seong glared at him sternly, Hyuk Ri-wook hid behind Po-du without realizing it. Yeon Woo-hyeok stopped Paeng Ju-seong.

“sorry. Peng brother. There would have been no bad intentions here, Hyuk Ri-wook.”

“Yeah, yes. I can’t get lost here…”

“What do you do when you find out that you took Jung So-jeo?”

“That… how did you know that?”

“In the future, if you do something useless in front of Woohyuk’s brother, think about it one more time.”

At Paeng Ju-seong’s words, Hyuk Ri-wook looked at Yeon Woo-hyeok with a look of astonishment.

I didn’t know how I knew because I wasn’t in a hurry, but surprisingly, this Podu guessed it.

Recently, when he was gaining fame in Hankyung, he laughed, saying, ‘Podu must have caught a few easy cases with luck’…!

“How the hell?!”

Yeon Woo-hyuk frowned instead of answering. From far away, as seen with the spiritual eye, traces of the palanquin being set down for a moment could be seen.

‘sh*t.’

If Jeong So-jeo was here, it would have been easy, but from the moment he wasn’t here, I had to follow the fake traces and the real ones. Yeon Woo-hyuk sighed.

Hyuk Ri-wook, who belatedly grasped the situation, noticed and opened his mouth.

“No, there’s no way it won’t be there… You haven’t come yet, have you?”

“There are traces of putting down the kiln for a while. It looks like you went north.”

Hyuk Ri-wook, who was denying the reality, opened his mouth wide when he saw where Yeon Woo-hyeok was pointing.

“This is ridiculous…”

Tattak!

Someone came running from behind. Yeon Woo-hyeok and Paeng Ju-seong turned their heads. It was a fresh red tide, out of breath and wet with sweat.

The red tide tried to glared at Yeon Woo-hyeok, but noticed that Paeng Ju-seong was there and said.

“Po… Podu disappeared… so I’m here.”

“I never thought you would be so loyal!”

Peng Juseong was amazed.

They said that there was no medicine under the commander, and the loyalty and persistence of Yeon Woo-hyuk were also extraordinary.

I never thought I’d come after you like this!

“What… what happened…”

“sorry. It was urgent, so I had no choice.”

“How urgent you must be…”

The red tide gritted its teeth and said. I was more tired because I ran without using my inner strength in case there would be eyes to see.

“Because of this Hyukri Sohyeop, Jeong Sojeo went to a strange place.”

“… Is such a dog like this!”
