How To Live as a Civil Servant in Murim

It was an unexpected situation, but Yeon Woo-hyuk sat down calmly. I had no choice but to sit down.

The opponent’s martial arts level was second-class like Yeon Woo-hyeok, but the opponent was second-class, surpassing the first-class level. In addition, the poison and memorization of the Tang gate had a killing power that exceeded the level of martial arts.

And even if the opponent was third-rate, he had to sit down as long as he was carrying the name of the party.

Yeon Woo-hyeok suddenly missed the Paengga siblings very much.

‘I’m sorry for always complaining. two minutes.’

After clearing the corpse outside, the Pokees returned and were extremely nervous when Yeon Woo-hyeok sat in front of the guard at the gate. He was worried about what the party officials would do.

‘Shouldn’t I call someone else?’

‘Stand close to the door. When something happens, you have to scream right away.’

“Do you know why I am staying in this shabby inn?”

“I do not know.”

In fact, it was not a shabby guest cup.

It wasn’t a luxurious place, but it was clean and decent enough. It was natural as the hermit who extorted the blood and sweat of Sa Podu was included. The cheerleaders made a look of indignation.

“There was a night gong (冶工, blacksmith) I used to know. It wasn’t Sega’s night ball, but it was an excellent night ball.”

“!”

If you ask which family has the best metallurgy or smelting skills among the five generations, nine out of ten people will probably pick Tang Wen. In order to create unique and bizarre memorization, he had no choice but to excel in those skills.

To say that Dangryeong, who has seen such blacksmiths up close, is outstanding. It was clear that he was a really good blacksmith.

“If you’re such a blacksmith, why didn’t you work at the Great Tang Gate?”

“I had wanderlust.”

Dangryeong said while looking into the distance with eyes wet with memories. In a way, he was full of melancholy, but seeing him like that after he had just killed a person just gave me goosebumps.

In fact, the Pokes were looking at Dangryeong with astonishment and fear.

“The story almost leaked elsewhere. I was quite familiar with this nightgong. I used to visit often, but one day he sold a blacksmith’s shop and said this. I mean, when I get older, I want to go back to my hometown, Hankyung.”

Not only Yeon Woo-hyuk, but also the Pok-kwae gradually began to pay attention to the story of the party.

It was a pretty interesting story.

“It is said that it is a beginner’s mind, but what can I do? I said go Still, the letter came until last year, but it didn’t come this year. I came here after coming to Hankyung, but the house is empty…”

“Okay, is that old man Kang?”

Yang Po Que cautiously asked a question. The other Po Kye were startled, but fortunately Dang Ling did not kill Yang Po Kye.

“right. Do you know cider?”

“Yes, yes! He was popular because of his excellent workmanship. You didn’t take on a lot of work, but… Huh. Could it be that you rented this inn…”

“under. good eye I don’t know if it’s because of the boss, but… that’s right.”

Dangryeong obediently explained the reason.

Behind this inn was the old man’s house. From the room Dangryeong rented, it was easy to observe who came and went into Old Man Kang’s house.

If old man Kang finished his erratic wanderings and returned home, he was renting this inn to check on it.

“That…that’s it.”

Yang Po-kwae swallowed his saliva, wondering if he could say this, and looked around. However, Dangryeong was not a Moorim man who was so weak that he missed such an exhilarating reaction.

“Tell me. If you don’t want to die.”

“I’m sorry. I’ve heard rumors around him. Old Kang became very ill, and it was time for him to… die, so he left… to a place where no one was around… He was such an eccentric…”

Despite the shocking words, Dangryeong was neither angry nor surprised. He just closed his eyes and nodded.

I was already guessing to some extent.

“…that was the case too.”

At Dangryeong’s reaction, the Pokes breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it seemed that the Tang Mun Muin’s wrath did not splash out on them.

“It is very sad. He was a talented person.”

“You even fixed my knife.”

“He was a good man. Yes… did you?”

Dangryeong recalled memories and looked at the empty house of Old Man Kang. It sounded like a hammer would be heard at any moment.

After looking at Yeon Woo-hyuk, he carefully opened his mouth.

“I. Dang sozer.”

“Why are you calling me?”

“It looks like that old river man has been kidnapped…”

Inn’s Poison (3)

The air in the inn was freezing cold.

Not only Dangryeong, but also Pogwae looked at Yeon Woo-hyuk in bewilderment.

What kind of absurdity is that in a situation where the eccentric military leader of the party understands and ends warmly?

“kidnap?”

As a warrior of the party who could not control his anger, even though he only heard the word abduction, the body of Dang-ryeong was alive. The glinting eyes made them feel as if their knees were loosening.

“Abduction?”

“yes.”

However, only one Podu remained calm in this place. Yeon Woo-hyuk explained without embarrassment.

“There is no way that a person who missed his hometown enough to say that he was a beginner in the first place would leave his seat somewhere else just because it was time to die. If so, you would have settled there in the first place. This is apart from being eccentric.”

“!”

Dangryeong stopped smoking and focused on Podu’s words.

Certainly it was.

“And it’s strange that you’ve heard rumors. If you still have a reputation as a blacksmith, you’ll correct it, but rumors spread that it’s time to die because such a person disappeared.”

“Isn’t that what you usually say?”

“I heard that the old man on the river seemed far from talkative. Were you the kind of person who would say something like that?”

“That, that’s not it.”

“Then it’s obvious. someone spread a rumor The only people who will spread such rumors are the ones who want to avoid getting into trouble.”

“Kang, why is old Kang… he’s not very wealthy…”

“You are very talented.”

After he finished speaking, Yeon Woo-hyuk felt a sense of accomplishment that he had finished one in the sense of building up his spirit.

Actually, it wasn’t that difficult to solve the inside story of a certain case.

Just a moment ago, I was able to immediately recall what was going on after hearing clues about the eccentric old blacksmith, the empty blacksmith shop, and the rumors.

The difficult thing now was to persuade the listeners in a plausible way.

If explained in too detail, the persuasiveness is lost, and if explained too simply, credibility is lost. It was a real persuasion to properly coordinate between them.

In particular, if the opponent was a Moorim person of the Tang Dynasty who could not control his anger, the difficulty level was raised.

Fortunately, this time I was able to succeed in convincing the facts. Yeon Woo-hyuk let out a sigh of relief.

However, the convinced Dangryeong exploded his life once again. Yeon Woo-hyuk did not understand.

‘Why are you doing that again?’

It was more like fatigue than fear.

While he was determined not to get involved with Dangmun any more in the future, Dangryeong shot at them with a lively voice.

“Who were the guys in charge of this area when Old Kang disappeared?”

“……”

‘ah.’

Yeon Woo-hyuk realized why Dangryeong was doing that.

It’s been a while since Old Man Kang disappeared, but I guess the spirited guys didn’t think to find him, and were fooled by rumors and saying things like ‘I think he’s dead hehehehe’.

That would have made me angry too.

“Huh, black. that. That’s it.”

Yeon Woo-hyeok said he came to this district recently, but the exhilarating people here are the ones who have been in charge of this district for a long time.

There was no easy escape from responsibility.

As much as they knew that, their legs trembled more and more, and cold sweat ran down their bodies. Yang Po Que answered with tears streaming down his face.

“It’s because of four fodu…!”

“Sa podo?”

“yes…!”

“you’re right. It’s because of the sapodo…! He told me to turn my attention away!”

One by one, the Pokes put the blame on Podu. Yeon Woo-hyuk admired the way he did what he had to do even though he cried and trembled in fear. They weren’t the guys who rolled for a long time for no reason.

Dangryeong looked at Yeon Woo-hyuk and asked.

“What is Sa Fodu doing?”

“ah. I used to be Podu, but I was dismissed for protecting criminals.”

“You are such a piece of trash. Where is he?”

The cheerleaders stretched out their fingers in hope. It was the inner room where Sa Fodu was suffering.

Dangryeong immediately took out a memorized book and tried to enter the room.

“for a moment. Dang sozer.”

“…?”

“Now Sa Pochwe is my subordinate. Please don’t kill me at will.”

“……”

The four players looked at Yeon Woo-hyuk in amazement.

If you don’t have about 10 lives, how did that word come out in the current situation?

Dangryeong was shocked and looked at Yeon Woo-hyuk. I was so dumbfounded that I didn’t even come out right away.

“What, what?”

“I asked you not to kill Sa Poque.”

“Give me one reason why I shouldn’t.”

“I’m going to find Old Man Kang from now on, but if you kill Po-kwa, how will you work out of fear of others?”

“…?!!!”

Dangryeong calmed down and looked at Yeon Woo-hyuk in amazement.

In such a big city, finding someone who had been abducted months ago was not an easy task.

Of course, Dangryeong had no intention of asking the Podu or the Pokkwas here. He was thinking of going to the opening bunta and entrusting the request.

“Can you find Old Man River?”

“yes. All you have to do is show Old Man Kang’s forge.”

In fact, he already knew who took them and their names, but Yeon Woo-hyeok shrugged.

It would seem too strange to say which guys took them here. At least I had to pretend to look at the forge.

“Podu. If your talent is really… that great, I will greatly reward you. let’s go!”

Dangryeong stepped out of the inn first. Only then did the rest of the spirits let out a deep sigh. My limbs were still shaking.

Their superior gave the order as if he had no fear.

“Just exhilarating. Stay and check the status of Sapoque.”

“Po, Podu. Can I ask you something?”

“what?”

“Sa Podu, no, why did you cover Sa Poque?”

‘Because if I die, my reputation will go down…’

Such a trivial reputation was also important to Yeon Woo-hyeok, who was greedy to rise higher by being seen well by the branch or judge.

Since he couldn’t even pay bribes, he had to score even in this area.

Of course, he couldn’t say this openly, so Yeon Woo-hyuk turned around and said.

“You are my subordinate now.”

“…!!!”

The cheerleaders shuddered and couldn’t move as if they had been struck by lightning. A sharp voice came from outside.

“If you don’t come out right away, I’ll go back and kill that bastard named Podu!”

“yes. I will go now!”

Yeon Woo-hyuk shouted that and left. The cheerleaders looked at the back of their boss with eyes full of loyalty.

* * *

Dangryeong crossed his arms and leaned against the pillar of the smithy while watching Yeon Woo-hyuk.

To be honest, I was dubious right now.

If it wasn’t for the fact that I believed it halfway because of the miraculous talent that Podu showed, I would have pierced my tongue with memorization when I made fun of it earlier.

Could you find the old man who disappeared a few months ago just by digging around in the smithy?

No matter how psychic he was, it didn’t seem possible. The Elder of Openness did not have such talent. If such a thing is possible, why would the beggars of openness suffer?

Young Fodu walked slowly around the smithy and observed it carefully. Sometimes he even nodded his head as if he was interested. Dangryeong averted his gaze, curious about what Podu was seeing and interested in.
