How To Live as a Civil Servant in Murim

“ Oh. Thanks to. It was so crazy.”

“?”

Yeon Woo-hyuk was puzzled by the red tide’s words.

“What do you mean?”

“Did you catch the attention of the Murim people? Thanks to that, I and my subordinates were able to enter.”

“Did I?”

“??”

This time, it was the turn of the red tide and the red tide’s subordinates to be bewildered. The red tide said as if he did not understand.

“The Jade Wall? Was it Jade Wall? Didn’t you draw attention by explaining who stole it and how?”

“No, did it draw enough attention to enter?”

“The Murim people in the mansion were all gathering in the courtyard and listening?”

“Weren’t there still those who stood guard?”

“The guards went to the courtyard and were listening to you.”

“……”

Yeon Woo-hyeok suddenly felt very sorry for the judge who trusted the Murim people and entrusted him with escort.

Salmak disappearance case (2)

“…Anyway, I’m glad you did.”

“Rather than that, the heavenly knights came. Did anything happen?”

Red tide reacted with a mixture of hostility and fear when reciting Zhuge Yu’s nickname.

“It didn’t matter. Why?”

“Podu, you’re Podu, so you don’t know how terrifying the heavenly knights are.”

At the words of the red tide, the subordinate nodded with a tense face.

Often, when the story of which clan was feared by the killers came out, there was a lot of controversy, but in the opinion of the red tide, the most feared clan was the Jegal Se.

The most feared person in Murim was not the strong, but the wise.

In particular, he did not know how many times he had ruined Salmak’s request. I killed a rich guy the other day, and it felt like my hamstrings were stiffened when I saw the angle and depth of the cut and realized that Salsu was hired.

“He was a scary person.”

Yeon Woo-hyuk deeply sympathized with the appearance of Cheon Ki-soo, who immediately robbed the main house as soon as he finished work. The red tide nodded as if he knew.

“okay. It must have been. I managed to trick him.”

“Sister Cheongi has such a high reputation, how can you not hold a grudge in the living room?”

“resentment? Resentment has spread all over the world, but grudges cannot be repaid.”

It wasn’t that Salmak didn’t have a grudge against Jegal Se or Cheon Gi Susa.

However, as soon as he attacks the heavenly knight for revenge, bloody retribution will return, so he just endures it.

No matter how notorious Salmak was, it was not strong enough to withstand the attacks of the Jegal family or the Ohdae family.

In Moorim, if there is no power of resentment, it would be more convenient to forget.

“In that respect, it is a wise choice for Podune to be friendly with Dangmun or Pangga. The guy who wants to get revenge on you will think about it for once.”

“!”

At Salsu’s words, Yeon Woo-hyuk shuddered.

It was obvious, but I was missing it. The more Yeon Woo-hyeok solved the case, the more resentment was bound to build up.

‘sh*t. I’ll have to be more careful in the future.’

The judge’s job was fortunate this time, but he did not know if he would be lucky in the future. There would be nothing as absurd as getting stabbed in the back and dying while training while worrying about the Sangdan War.

“But I’m not that friendly with the party.”

“okay?”

The red tide was puzzled. I tried spying on the stories of the warriors of the Tang Dynasty, but it was different from what Fodu said.

It was not common for an outsider to be cherished by an eccentric master of Tang culture like a single Honsu. Isn’t it a closed gate?

‘That guy must be right.’

The red tide passed without asking further. Anyway, that wasn’t important right now.

“ruler. Podu. We kept our promise. I hope Podu will keep his promise.”

“Before that, let me ask you one more question.”

At Yeon Woo-hyuk’s question, the subordinate of the red tide glared at him fiercely.

As a murderer, such words were always a bad sign. It was an indication that a story different from the original promise would begin.

However, Yeon Woo-hyuk didn’t care.

“Do not worry. I have no intention of breaking my promise. I want to help you two.”

“You want to help?”

The red tide did not understand what Podu was talking about.

“Can I just tell you the location? Hey Podu. you said The elder’s granddaughter…”

“yes. I know. He said he was looking for the elder’s granddaughter. But the enemy confrontation. Are you going to assassinate your granddaughter?”

“what?”

Unexpectedly, the reverse magic was released, and her hair turned red. The red tide said, revealing that it is alive.

“What did you mean by that?”

“Please answer first.”

Yeon Woo-hyuk said without wavering.

It was also a rise to the level of martial arts, but because he met so many eccentric people in Moorim, he was not shaken anymore.

“Of course not!”

“It seemed so. ruler. see The granddaughter I’m looking for now, Jadang, ran away after falling out with the elder. But if I go to my granddaughter and say that she came out of her living room and came to pick me up, how would she react?”

“Uh… even if you’re surprised, wouldn’t you be thrilled that they’re related by blood?”

The red tide’s subordinate hesitated and answered. Yeon Woo-hyeok replied as if he was stumped.

“You will be surprised. I don’t know how thrilled I am… What I want to say is this. I’m not a good person, but I’m worried that you’re not going to visit me too soon. What if Jadang dug a trap in case the killers of Salmak come someday?”

“…!”

Yeon Woo-hyuk had a reason for saying this.

In this case, more than a dozen people died in the mansion, and bloody winds blew as water and water collided with the people in the mansion.

It was clear, then, that at least the watermen were not welcomed when they visited. Either the people in the mansion dug a trap and waited, or there was a misunderstanding…

“hmm!”

The red tide let out a silence. I hadn’t even thought about it, but Podu’s words definitely hit the sore spot.

“I don’t know if your mistress will hate it.”

‘Do you know if I have to tell you that?’

Yeon Woo-hyuk just stayed still. It was fortunate if the killers understood.

“Then I will tell you now…”

“Yeon Podu. Just listen to me for a moment.”

“?”

The red tide started talking about itself without asking. Yeon Woo-hyuk wanted to tell him to stop, but he wasn’t in the mood to do that.

“The elder who entrusted this task is actually the teacher who taught me martial arts.”

‘aha.’

Yeon Woo-hyuk realized why the master and master of the red tide was looking for such a person.

Well, if it was related to his teacher’s family history, he could have been involved.

“Did the elder ask you to meet your granddaughter?”

“similar. I asked to find him, but he didn’t ask me to meet him. The elder died in the first place.”

“Oops. Did you have any chronic illnesses?”

“I killed it. We have some quarrels.”

“……”

Yeon Woo-hyuk was shocked, but he didn’t care at all, as if it was natural to live two years.

“Because of the grace I received, I thought I should grant the wishes of the dead. But now that I think about it, she only said that she wanted to find her granddaughter, but she didn’t talk about what happened after finding her.”

“Then what were you going to do after you found it?”

“I was going to go to Salmak, pour some wine on the grave, and give the elder property some money. But after listening to it, I started to think that I might not like it.”

“……”

“What should I do?”

‘Why are you asking me that?’

Yeon Woo-hyuk was about to say that, but he remembered once again the martial arts of a two-year-old and persevered.

“Let’s meet outside, not at the mansion. Can’t you just ask after we meet? What do you think?”

It was a reasonable way for Yeon Woo-hyuk to think. If you meet and talk to the elder’s granddaughter, won’t she tell you what she thinks of her maternal grandfather, and whether she wants to leave it all behind and move to Salmak’s safe house when she lives luxuriously in a mansion?

“good idea.”

“It is an overestimation.”

“hmm. Kite Podu. I want to ask you one more favor.”

“I will listen to your request and decide.”

“Let’s talk, let’s go together…”

When Yeon Woo-hyeok showed a blatant dislike, the words of the red tide and his subordinates became urgent.

“What must I have been talking about with the little girl of the official family!”

“Me too! look at me Do I look like someone who would fit in with a girl from a prestigious family?”

It wasn’t just because he hated hanging out with the killers, but seriously, as Yeon Woo-hyuk, there was nothing good about contacting the daughter of a government official.

If Yeon Woo-hyeok had a family and a bright future, he would have known, but he had no family and was just a talented Podu. He had just built up his reputation, but if rumors spread that he had seduced a girl from a prestigious family in Hankyung, he could be guilty of a crime.

I’m still careful about my behavior to get ahead, but what are you asking me to do?

However, the killers were also very persistent. The red tide continued to plead, but eventually resorted to a last resort.

“Later, I’ll kill one person you want!”

“…no. Do you really have to do that?”

“It is a very serious matter. If my mistress can’t resolve her grudge against the elder because of my clumsy words, she won’t be proud even in death.”

Yeon Woo-hyuk’s heart softened a little at the red tide’s sincere words.

‘no. for a moment. This person killed it.’

Yeon Woo-hyuk immediately got the mood to become sentimental. It was obvious.

“All right. Let’s come up with a plan.”

From noble mtl dot com

“Podu. You are my eldest son!”

‘Such meaningless praise is rare.’

I’m only meeting a woman and deciding what to talk about, but such a compliment. Yeon Woo-hyuk was disgusted inwardly.

***

The Cheonggun Jeong clan was one of the historically prestigious families in Hankyung. Sometimes, even without high authority or abundant wealth, there were cases in which the family was respected only for the history accumulated, and the Chunggun Clan was just like that.

Starting with a newly appointed official in Hankyung, an ambitious head of household who wants to raise the rank of his family, a head of a battlefield or a head of a high school who wants to borrow the power of long and wide personal connections…

It was to a young official from this family that Elder Salmun’s daughter married. Although both died early due to illness, their daughter Jeong Yeo-hye still remained in the family.

‘sh*t. It’s harder to reach than I thought.’

Yeon Woo-hyuk realized that this was more difficult than manipulating the judge’s death.

It is not an easy way for Podu to meet a girl from Gyujung, who is not a female co-op of Kang Ho.

Even when I go out, I take everyone with me…

“How can it not be?”

“Please be quiet.”

Yeon Woo-hyuk was deep in thought. The other delights were afraid that Yeon Woo-hyuk was worried about what the hell was going on.

“Does Woohyuk have a brother?”

“!”

Seeing Paeng Ju-seong enter through the safe house door, Yeon Woo-hyeok stopped what he was doing and stood up. The red tide quickly lowered its stance and behaved like a cheerleader.

“What are you here for?”

Yeon Woo-hyeok was puzzled when the person he thought had returned to Paengga appeared.

What happened?

“ah. It’s no big deal. I came here because I was worried about my younger brother Woo-hyuk, who is always struggling with public affairs. Shouldn’t you be able to do difficult things by resting from time to time?”

It seems that Paeng Juseong recently toured the famous mountain ranges around Hankyung and then organized a heritage meeting with young people from Hankyung.

In a nutshell, it was like a gathering to go to the mountains to play. Young people from neighboring families or prestigious families go out to play together, compose poems, and see the scenery…

Originally, of course, Yeon Woo-hyuk had no intention of wearing it. Even if Fodu went to a place like that, there wouldn’t be much good. Paeng Ju-seong would be proud to say that he was his step-brother, but why would he go there to receive only glare?

“for a moment. older brother. Do you have any jeongsojeo? Cheong-gun Jeong’s…”
