How To Live as a Civil Servant in Murim

“ I guess so.”

Yeon Woo-hyuk yawned and said to the drugstore owner.

“I borrowed money, but it didn’t pay off, so it must have been very difficult.”

“?!!!”

The prostrate drugstore owner was startled.

It was surprising that he recognized the self-made play, but he also guessed why he did it.

It was like a freshman penetrating the inner mind.

“But if you put on a play like that, as a person in charge of podu, you can’t just get over it. I’ll just let this go, so you can run the pharmacy again.”

“……”

The answer did not come immediately.

It was because he was so surprised that the drugstore owner froze.

“Do you like it?”

“no! Persimmon… Persimmon… Thank you!!!”

Sensing his spirits rising, Yeon Woo-hyeok motioned for him to return to the pharmacy owner.

The drugstore owner looked back several times in disbelief at Fodu’s words to leave without getting hit or threatened. It was as if he was worried that there would be an ambush outside if he went out like this.

It was only after the drugstore owner left that the candle let out a startled breath and looked carefully at Podu. Young Fodu calmly closed his eyes again, as if nothing had just happened.

Candle looked at it carefully and carefully asked a question.

“Yeon, Yeon Podu.”

“what?”

“How did you find out that the… drugstore owner had staged a play?”

“Listen to the three windbreak roots and the two rootlets.”

“…???”

‘Oops.’

Yeon Woo-hyuk realized that he had made a mistake.

To make the other person understand, the location of the footprints, whether the broken fragments are inside or outside. Or you should have told me if the other money was gone or not.

Hearing three windbreak roots and two jammy roots, he remembered what the incident was and the only person who could guess it was Yeon Woo-hyuk.

However, Yeon Woo-hyuk did not explain again.

The reason was simple.

It was because Yeon Woo-hyeok was Podu and his opponent was Pogwae.

‘This is power!’

Candle was blinking and struggling to find the meaning of ‘three windbreak roots and two jamigeun roots’.

“Three roots of Bangpung, two roots of samigeun…”

“Is there anything else you want to ask?”

“Well, why did the drugstore owner just…”

“Why didn’t you punish me?”

Yeon Woo-hyuk asked first as if he had expected it.

“Oh, no. Why didn’t you accept the hermit and just send it away…”

“……”

Yeon Woo-hyuk almost stumbled at the unexpected answer.

‘I’m kidding.’

I don’t question the freeing of Podu, but I question the free release.

Yeon Woo-hyuk clicked his tongue and shook his head. I couldn’t say ‘I like Eun-ja too, but I want to be stabbed less conscientiously’, so I had to refine it.

“The person receiving the green salary cannot accept private bribes.”

“…!!”

Candle looked at Yeon Woo-hyuk with an expression struck by lightning. I never thought there would be such a thing in the world.

“Oh… Today, I really opened my eyes. Well, I’m really happy to work for someone like Podu Yeon!”

“I’m also happy to have someone like Yang Po-kwae working under me.”

Yeon Woo-hyuk scanned the candle with his spiritual eye.

It was a bit embarrassing to suddenly be filled with loyalty, but I was relieved. It seemed that he would not betray him later by accepting a request from Sapodu.

‘Should I be loyal like this if I didn’t take bribes?’

He might even shed tears if he had to bet iron coins at the street stalls.

“nice to see you. It’s called Maktak! From now on, under Podu-nim, I will renovate my bones and serve the cause!”

Other cheers came one after another. Yeon Woo-hyuk glanced over and nodded.

‘There are people who are frightened, worried, and dissatisfied, but I don’t see anyone willing to betray.’

“nice to meet.”

“We gathered our sincerity for the new Podu!”

Pokwae took out a hermit the size of a fingernail. The candle that saw it dried up in a hurry.

“Stop it!”

“Why are you doing this? Are you crazy?!”

“I am speaking for you! It means Podu-nim really hates personal favors! He said how a government official who receives green salaries accepts private bribes!”

“…!!!”

Surprised and agitated, Yeon Woo-hyuk thought to himself.

‘It’s okay to accept hermits for the exhilarating ones.’

Eun-ja, the owner of a drugstore in ruins, is a bit like that, but she had no remorse even if she accepted Eun-ja.

But I wasn’t in the mood to say that. The cheerleaders were sending eyes of amazement at the same time.

“Loyalty… I will do my best!”

“…yes.”

Yeon Woo-hyeok made a firm resolution that he would have to pamper the guy named Candle the most.

Within a few days, rumors of the newly arrived Podu had spread all over the district.

This new Podu didn’t even open hermits while circling the territory. I just sit quietly in my safe house and when something happens, I just solve it, but there has not been a single deviation in that solution.

‘What’s going on?’

Yeon Woo-hyeok coughed as he saw his subordinates whispering outside the door.

“Come in. What are you talking about?”

“Ah, Mr. Podu. sorry! It really wasn’t much of a story. That… four fodu…”

“Such an idiot. Exciting, now!”

“ah. Four exhilarating. I heard rumors that Sapoque is suffering from poison.”

Yeon Woo-hyuk looked down at the whip without realizing it. And then he vehemently defended himself.

“I didn’t do it.”

“yes? What do you mean…?”

Inn’s Poison (1)

‘Could I have mistaken inside and outside?’

The whip that Yeon Woo-hyeok received, Baeksakgakpyeon, was a whip made by catching and poisoning a large white snake living in Mount Ohaeng, so he could poison his opponent if he wanted to.

However, as it is martial to stop a spear, a good weapon had to be able to prevent harm to the opponent if the owner wanted it.

Naengsusa Gosong was a proud Moorim person in that regard, and of course, he made it with care when making Baeksa Gyeokgak.

It was written in the White Book that if you wield the whip from the inside, poison-stained scales will be whipped, and if it is swung outward, unpoisoned scales will be whipped.

Apparently Yeon Woo-hyuk swung outside…

‘Isn’t it possible that the cold investigator wrote it down incorrectly?’

Yeon Woo-hyuk stood up from his seat with a feeling of embarrassment.

“Let’s go to Sa Poque’s residence.”

“!”

The cheerleaders were astonished.

Yeon Woo-hyeok thought there was no reason to go to Sa Po-kwae’s residence.

“Why?”

“Aren’t you the kind of person who brazenly took bribes and got poisoned and couldn’t even work as an exorcist? Why would Podu-nim bother to visit…?”

“you’re right! I’ll just take the yoke. Fire him up!”

These Pokkeats were the people who worked under Sapodu, but they didn’t show any sense of loyalty or loyalty. It seemed like he knew how Sapodu handled the possums.

Rather, he wanted to take this opportunity to drive out the thorn in the eye. Even if they were of the same kind, they were overwhelmingly better than others in terms of martial arts, so they couldn’t be treated carelessly, and they might get beaten up.

How to catch a beast when it is weak.

“no. There was a bad thing, but he’s my subordinate now. I will go check out what happened.”

“……”

The Pouches hesitantly packed their belongings. Yeon Woo-hyeok, who checked the items inside with his spiritual eyes, said sternly.

“I’m not going to quietly kill Sa Poque, so put it down right away.”

“Is that so? sorry.”

Mak-tak, who thought Yeon Woo-hyeok would take advantage of the painful break and put an end to it, put down his luggage with a shy expression.

* * *

Sa Fodu and Anissa Poque were quite talented among the Fodus to acquire wealth.

When the other Podou wasted their hermit money in Juru buying drinks for their subordinates, Sa Po-Quye did not waste a handful of hermit money and saved frugally.

Meals were also solved at stalls or shops, and each time I ate a meal there, I invented a new concept of meal, in which I received iron money.

Not only that, but even if the exorcists at the bottom refused to say it was okay, he kindly lent her hermit and even got it back with only a little extra money added…

‘I really thoroughly ripped it apart!’

While walking, Yeon Woo-hyeok stuck his tongue out at the sound of the cheerleaders grinding their teeth and shouting.

At that level, I thought I could use the method of getting rich with Podu and print it out.

In any case, Sa Pochwe bought and operated a decent inn located in a relatively good location in Hankyung with the money earned in this way.

The name was also grandiose Cheongaekjan.

“Amazing. Can Fodu run an inn?”

Although there was no rule in the national law that Podu should not run an inn, running an inn in a large city like Hankyung was more difficult than expected.

Just as beggars get caught if you beg in a big city without permission to open up, in a big city, there were organizations that were closely intertwined with the job.

If it was a guest cup, there was a meeting where the people who ran the guest cup gathered, and there was a party where the people who ran the bar also gathered, and the street vendors were called street vendors…

Without joining such a club, business itself was impossible. In order for Fodu to join such a club, it was usually difficult to pay a bribe. It was only possible with steady bribes and hard work.

“It’s because he’s a guy who only has a knack for business!”

“That’s right, that’s right!”

“I heard that Jeomsoi got a pretty good guy. I heard a rumor, but instead of covering up the crime, he made me work in his inn…”

“You look like a thief to kill!”

‘Should I just leave it there?’

Yeon Woo-hyeok thought to himself as he opened the inn’s door.

The moment I opened the door, I felt a sense of serenity.

Not the quietness after lunch, but the serenity felt when there have been no customers for quite some time.

‘Is it ruined?’

“welcome!”

With a cheerful voice, Jeom Soyi ran as if bouncing. Jeom So-yi, who ran over, recommended something to eat before Yeon Woo-hyuk and Pok-kwa could even sit down.

“I think you’ll like the white meat (boiled pork dish) or the miseon (noodle dish). Today’s meat is quite…”

“I am not here to eat. Are you in Sa Poque?”

At Yeon Woo-hyuk’s words, Jeom So-yi seemed to recognize the customer’s identity only then. He made a terrified face and stepped back.

“Po, Podu is up there. Podu-nim didn’t do anything, so why…”

“bloke! How dare you put your words on the affairs of the government office!”

The exorcists shouted at Jeomsoi. Jeomsoi trembled and shook her head.

Yeon Woo-hyuk stared at Jeom So-yi and then looked away.

“done. don’t mess around I’ll have to meet Sa Porque. Before that, what happened to this inn?”

Jeomsoi cleared her throat a few times, cleared her throat, and then began to explain what had happened in her own way.

This Cheongaek Cup was a guest cup that had a steady stream of guests because it was so well located, despite the skill of the sooksu.

However, from one day, strange rumors suddenly started to circulate in the inn.

“What are the rumors?”
