How To Live as a Civil Servant in Murim

Seeing Jegalgyu stuttering from afar, Jeokjo was worried that Jeong Yeo-hye would suddenly change her mind and say, ‘This is not it!’

However, when the poem was over, Jeong Yeo-hye looked at Jegal-gyu with a deeply moved expression. Just then, the veil that covered her face fell off, revealing Jeong Yeo-hye’s face.

‘no. It’s too much of a trick!’

The red tide was sad inside. Where is the person who writes beauty world like that?

However, Jegalgyu stopped as if he had been struck by lightning. He looked like a man he fell in love with at first sight.

“……”

“Doesn’t it look nice, enemy exhilaration? You look so good with Kyu!”

“Yeah, that’s what it is.”

Seeing Paeng Juseong smiling happily, the red tide broke into sweat.

When morning came, Yeon Woo-hyuk woke up at the dorm. The sound of the birds outside was pretty good.

This inn, not far from the government office, was a place where Podu and Pogwae stayed and took care of lodging, but in fact, it was rare for Podu to stay.

Usually Fodu has his own house.

Yeon Woo-hyeok did not have a house, but he had a safe house assigned to the district as a po-du. It was okay to sleep in the safe house, but the reason why I stayed in this lodging was that it was annoying to move a new bedding, but the location of the lodging here was convenient.

“Has Podu-nim come out!”

It was early in the morning, so there were probably no people, but quite a lot of people were coming and going on the streets of Hankyung. Starting with the low-ranking officials who need to arrive quickly, the servants of Bunlu who are running to buy fresher ingredients than others, the stall vendors who are settling down to prepare their business this morning…

And the ones Yeon Woo-hyeok always took care of were the street vendors selling breakfast.

Recognizing Yeon Woo-hyuk’s face, the merchant smiled and gestured.

“I’ll serve you what you normally eat.”

“Thank you.”

Shortly after, fried rice with eggs, dumplings, and miseon (chicken soup noodles), called Hankyungchoban, appeared. Yeon Woo-hyuk lifted his head in surprise at the meal, which was more substantial than expected.

“Isn’t this too generous?”

“If I can’t do this much to Podu Yeon, how can I be called a merchant of the Hankyung City Hall? Eat without worry. I sold quite a few before Podu-nim came.”

“Tell me if anything happens.”

Yeon Woo-hyuk expressed his gratitude by leaving more iron coins than usual. I didn’t feel bad. The meal was also a meal, but it was probably because the usual troublesome thing was solved.

The judge who tried to kill Yeon Woo-hyeok died, and he seized the opportunity to get acquainted with Jeong Geo-sa, one of the influential people in Hankyung.

It felt like all the troubles left in Hankyung were gone, as the killers who had been annoying had left after achieving their desired goals.

Now, it seemed to me that I could solve the case in my spare time and practice my martial arts leisurely. Then, I noticed and said hello to the officials of Hankyung…

“Has Podu-nim come out?”

“…?!”

Yeon Woo-hyeok, who went to work early at the safe house, was shocked to see the red tide and the red tide’s two subordinates.

“No, why are you still in Hankyung? Wasn’t it over?”

Yeon Woo-hyuk was dumbfounded.

Since he had listened to Jeong Yeo-hye’s request, he naturally assumed that the killers would have left.

“Actually, there are circumstances.”

“There must have been circumstances. What is the matter?”

The red tide scratched his cheek and was embarrassed. I felt very embarrassed to say this.

“After talking about that… more, it seems that uncles are more in check than I thought.”

“You mean uncle? That’s it, any family…”

Yeon Woo-hyuk remembered the uncles Jeong Yeo-hye had mentioned.

In any family, the being who received the affection of the head of the household was bound to be the object of jealousy. Besides, aren’t Jeong Yeo-hye’s parents outstanding even in that prestigious family?

Of course, Jeong Yeo-hye would have been jealous and kept in check, but conversely, it was just that. If the uncles had acted more radically, Jeong Yeo-hye’s words would have been different.

In Yeon Woo-hyuk’s view, the uncles of the family there were people who gossiped behind their backs but didn’t have the guts to go out any further.

“I was so worried I couldn’t just leave.”

“If it was really dangerous, I would have said otherwise. From my point of view, it seems that Sojeo Jeong tricked the two of you a bit.”

Although he did not have an in-depth conversation with Jeong Yeo-hye, Yeon Woo-hyeok noticed that the other person was ambitious and not easy going.

From noble mtl dot com

He was a person who could pretend to be weak if he could command two masters of Salmak.

“know. know. I noticed that too. In case of an emergency, you can use the watering can like your own stamp, but who wouldn’t be tempted? But… bloodlines couldn’t be helped.”

“…Is the enemy Daehyeop your real father?!”

“What, what nonsense are you talking about!”

The embarrassed red tide’s face turned red.

“Elder, you mean my master’s lineage! You crazy Fodu!”

“ah. sorry.”

The red tide looked up at Yeon Woo-hyeok with great enthusiasm. It felt like the sigh I had just breathed just flew away.

“…My teacher, I would say the elder. I killed the elder with my own hands. I couldn’t help it because there was a conflict between the two. Salmak has several factions. I had no personal grudge, but I couldn’t back down either…”

Woohyuk Yeon nodded. It was a story I had heard before.

The red tide pondered and looked around.

“Do you have any alcohol?”

“……”

“It’s not because I want to drink for free, it’s because it’s embarrassing to say soberly.”

“…there’s a drink hidden by the exorcists over there.”

“I will bring it.”

The red tide’s men followed Yeon Woo-hyuk’s instructions and searched the cupboard. Surprisingly, there was a hidden drink.

‘How did you find this?’

The red tide, who drank the rice wine from the bottle, let out a big sigh and hesitated. Yeon Woo-hyuk doubted inwardly.

‘How cowardly did he do that to do this?’

“…At the last minute we were almost on the verge of becoming friends. I didn’t reap the herbaceous food that came out.”

“Because if you step back clumsily, you will get hurt even more.”

“okay. Murder’s martial arts is even worse. I stretched out my herbivore with the momentum to kill. But then…”

The red tide said while staring into the distance with eyes looking at the open sea.

“The elder reaped the herb. Others didn’t see it, but I saw it clearly.”

“…!”

“The elder died without saying anything, but I felt as if I had heard the elder’s will. Salsu’s will is what he usually says.”

The red tide sighed louder.

“It must look stupid for me to be doing this here when I was at my peak as the lord of the Salmak. However, in Moorim, there are things that cannot be helped. What if the elder’s granddaughter cheated on me? It’s my fault for not stopping herbivore in the first place.”

Instead of answering, Yeon Woo-hyuk stood up and walked to the warehouse to rummage for something.

“What are you doing?”

Podu brought a bottle of expensive baekju hidden by Oh Pokwae. Then he poured it into an empty glass of red tide.

“I don’t think I’m stupid. enemy confrontation. I was just perplexed. Who will laugh at you?”

“…Thank you for not laughing at me.”

The red tide grinned and drank the glass. It didn’t seem like the fact that the scent and taste were deeper than before was because I liked the alcohol.

“It may be a bit of a burden to you to work under you cheerfully, but I will not forget this grace. I’m serious.”

“?”

Yeon Woo-hyuk hesitated. It was something completely unexpected.

“Uh, are you going to continue to work cheerfully?”

“Because it’s a hundred times better than going in as a servant suspiciously and approaching…? Well, you don’t have to give me green sticks. And I really will go back when my granddaughter’s work is done.”

“……”

Yeon Woo-hyuk, who was hesitant, thought, “I don’t know.” He even poured me a drink saying he did well, but what else did he do to tell him to stop coldly.

“How can there be a Podu that is bad because it has a lot of exuberance?”

“Thank you for saying that. ruler!”

The red tide, the red tide’s subordinate, and Yeon Woo-hyuk drank. It was the leading role where the water of the flesh disappears and a new exhilaration is born.

The blue river flows (1)

For a week or so after that, nothing happened. It was mostly trivial things, except for Oh Porque’s plea to find out which crook stole his drink.

If I had to choose one, the theft that took place in a secret room that no one could enter was a bit big, but Yeon Woo-hyuk didn’t go and immediately found the culprit. The crippled master who had been staying at the mountain hut for over five years was the culprit.

After about 15 days had passed, a government official came to Yeon Woo-hyeok.

“Yeon Podu. The branch elder called Podu.”

“!”

Yeon Woo-hyuk jumped up from his seat.

Among the officials of the Hankyung, the head of the branch was the highest-ranking person. A branch, especially a branch of the Hankyung, manages numerous major and small matters in this vast city, supervises officials, and can give orders as it pleases.

To put it bluntly, if you don’t pay attention only to the adjustment above, it’s a position where it’s the same as the top of all people.

Of course, Yeon Woo-hyeok, who was interested in government jobs, was an opponent who had to look absolutely good. Whether or not Yeon Woo-hyeok could receive a proper official position was determined by how the head of the branch raised the elder’s precepts.

‘So fast?’

Yeon Woo-hyuk also thought that one day, the head of the branch would call Yeon Woo-hyuk.

Of course, it may seem crazy for one Podu to think like this, but even taking that into account, Yeon Woo-hyuk’s achievements were not easy.

Right away, the head of the branch said that he was satisfied with what Yeon Woo-hyuk had done, so he thought there might be a possibility.

“Why is that?”

“The branch elder called me.”

“Oh, no!”

Oh Po-kwae, wondering why Yeon Woo-hyeok was flustered, changed his complexion in fright. Po-kee, who was next to him, asked.

“What’s wrong with the branch elder calling? Are you calling me to punish me?”

“It’s not like that! If that was the case, I wouldn’t have called it that. When a branch elder calls a subordinate, as a subordinate, you must do your due duty.”

At the words of Oh Po-kwa, the enemy Po-kwa wrinkled his forehead. The job of an exuberant was harder than I thought, so my career as a waterman didn’t help much.

“What is it?”

“The hermit. hermit.”

“……”

The red tide was dumbfounded and wanted to hit it with a punch. But Oh Pok-kwa was serious.

“This is outrageous. This is outrageous! If you don’t show your last name properly, the elders at the branch might get angry…”

Oh, the exhilaration was very serious.

Why do superiors call inferiors?

Of course, it was because he wanted to see his face once, but it was to figure out what kind of guy he was with the sincerity of the person below him.

Are you a rude guy with no up and down or a guy with a basic temper?

“No, if you look at the wealth alone, the elders of the branch must have far more than Podo Yeon here. But are you still telling me to hand over the hermit?”

“Ah, that’s not the point! How did you get that wealth? If I had left one out and two out, the head of the branch would have been a beggar than me!”

“Everyone calm down.”

As the excitement jumped out, Yeon Woo-hyeok rather calmed down.

Wouldn’t it be impossible to create a hermit who doesn’t exist anymore?

It was only natural that he would not come out because he poured everything he could gather into martial arts and elixirs, and he hadn’t even accumulated money.

“The branch elders will probably understand that I haven’t been working as a foreman for very long and I’ve been busy with construction.”

“No… Mr. Podu. Not all officials are like Podu.”

Oh Poquee said as if he was going to die of worry. The enemy exuberant also said firmly, perhaps feeling the atmosphere.

“If something happens, I will risk my life to go to help.”

“…?”

At the bottomless madness of the words, Oh Po-Kye looked at the enemy Po-Kye like a madman.

It seemed that the new arrival, Po-gwa, had gone a little crazy.

‘Is the official residence your homeroom? Why risk your life to enter?’

“Why do you look like that?”

“Oh, no. Rather than that, why don’t we go around the patrol together with Pokkeok over there?”

“Oh, didn’t Pokkwei say he was traveling with you?”

“Suddenly, my stomach hurts! oops There comes four exhilarating spirits!”

***

“Come this way!”

Hankyung’s office was a government office where the elders of the branch and various government officials handled construction work, and at the same time, it was a place to reveal its dignity and authority.

In particular, the party where the elders of the branch stayed was especially more dignified and splendid than many of the many bunru, thanks to the generous donation of silver and gold by many wealthy influential people in Hankyung for the newly appointed branch.
