How To Live as a Civil Servant in Murim

I probably won’t be able to solve this case, but I won’t save face if I don’t send a cheer.

‘You’re arrogant or off-topic Poduro. Sending only one person without coming directly?’

Jegalgyu was puzzled, but opened his mouth. The important thing now was the reputation of the Jegal family.

“I heard that a thief… appeared.”

“That’s right. great deal.”

The age difference between Gong and Zhuge Gyu was such that it would not be wrong to say that they were father and son. The commander-in-chief was old, and Jegal-gyu was still a young man full of energy.

Nevertheless, General Gong treated Jegal-gyu politely, calling him Daehyeop. Jegal-gyu knew very well that such a merchant was more determined.

“Didn’t the jinbeop not work?”

“no. great deal. The Jinbeop functioned properly. It was a bit cold, but…”

Jegalgyu rubbed his chest inwardly.

Fortunately, the worst seemed to have been averted.

“Then was the thief caught on the spot?”

“no. The thief stole the hermit and went out, but thanks to this exhilaration here, he was able to catch it.”

Yeon Woo-hyuk was very uncomfortable, but he did not change his expression.

‘I’m sure there won’t be any trouble because of the truth.’

Originally, a warrior with a low level of martial arts could not recognize the level of a person higher than himself.

However, when Yeon Woo-hyeok concentrated his mind, he could feel the skill of the warrior Jegalse in front of him.

It was much inferior to Pyung-won or Dampung-ho, but it was roughly similar to Oh Po-du, and slightly better than that.

‘Then is it second-rate?’

Oh Po-du had the most excellent martial arts skills among the Po-du, and he himself was a person who constantly practiced martial arts. It wasn’t easy for Podu to reach the second-rate level.

In that he already had skills that surpassed that of a military man of his father’s age, it could be said that he was indeed a military man of a prestigious family.

‘Oh, Podu is a middle-class, is this person about a second-class?’

“Did you chase down and catch the thief?”

“no. Surprisingly, Pokkye guessed who stole it by just looking at the spot where the thief passed.”

Like a seasoned merchant, General Gong appropriately dramatized and arranged what had happened.

Of course, even that alone was an absurd statement that was hard to believe for Jegal-gyu. While listening, Jegal-gyu’s eyebrows twitched subtly, and the twitching was transformed into information to Yeon Woo-hyuk, who was observing Jegal-gyu with his spiritual eyes.

‘I don’t believe it.’

It was also possible to collect information about the person sitting in front of you, just like collecting information about the scene of an incident. Yeon Woo-hyuk carefully observed what the opponent was thinking (and whether he was trying to kill himself).

Jegal-gyu calmly listened to the commander-in-chief’s words. I didn’t believe it, but it was to figure out the intention of the commander-in-chief.

‘What are you thinking? Are you trying to embarrass me?’

If you say it’s because of the Jinbeop, it’s too blatant, and Zhuge Gyu himself might be trying to ascertain the truth, so why bring in a nameless exorcism and claim that the matter has been solved?

However, Jegal-gyu did not understand how this would be an insult to the name of the Jegal family. In the end, the jinbeob worked properly, and the thief was close to the mistake of the commander-in-chief.

‘What am I missing?’

“really. great deal. I found and solved the problem of the truth.”

“I beg your pardon?!”

Jegalgyu lost his composure and let out a sound that resembled a shout. Realizing his mistake, Jegalgyu blushed.

“sorry. Surprised… What was the cause? Also, how did you solve it?”

“There was a crack in the ice stone.”

“!!!”

“And the solution is…”

The commander-in-chief looked at Yeon Woo-hyuk. It was a look that told me not to worry.

“Among those living in our battlefield, there is a master of great skill. I asked him.”

‘shaman? is it a volcano? Unbelievable…’

“Please let me see you again.”

“That’s kind of…”

The general was in trouble.

If he made an excuse for a guru and allowed Zhuge Gyu to enter, wouldn’t it be like ignoring the guru’s face?

However, Yeon Woo-hyuk cautiously intervened.

“Old Commander. If it’s okay, why don’t you give me permission? No matter how excellent a master is, wouldn’t it be difficult to follow the mysterious wisdom of the Jegal family? You might find something you missed.”

Yeon Woo-hyuk couldn’t just let it go, as he only blew away the energy of the Jinbeop and couldn’t solve the crack in the ice stone.

If you leave it like this, you don’t know if there will be another problem later.

I had to somehow let the Jegal Sega warriors in.

However, to Jegal-gyu, this bold remark was very welcome. Besides, even with a famous guru, the name of the jegal family is rated higher.

Even though I knew in my head that the Pokkeuran people were good at flattery, I couldn’t help but be grateful for going through this. Jegalgyu expressed his gratitude with a wink.

‘I will definitely be the successor.’

‘what? I am incredibly grateful.’

Jinang Zhugegalgyu (3)

While the two soldiers had different thoughts, the contemplated commander-in-chief opened his mouth.

“All right. However, I want you to respect the master’s face as well.”

“…I’ll keep that in mind.”

Jegal-gyu secretly guessed that the distribution of masters brought by the governor general would not be normal.

If not, there would be no reason to ask for new trust again and again.

‘I’m grateful for being considerate, but is it okay?’

Yeon Woo-hyuk felt sweat welling up his back at Gong’s words.

Of course, if the nail was not nailed down like this, the warrior of the Jegal family could have stubbornly questioned the master’s identity or asked to meet him, so there was no problem with the words themselves.

However, when I thought of the case in which a soldier of the Jegal family accidentally found out the identity of a Taoist, sweat naturally welled up.

In that case, not only drops of sweat, but also drops of red blood could seep out of the body.

It was said that General Gong would protect him on the battlefield, but there was a high possibility that Yeon Woo-hyeok would just stab him and offer the hermit to the judge.

‘Unbelievable!’

Jegalgyu looked around the warehouse with puzzled eyes. Contrary to the inner thoughts of Pokkye next to him, the young warrior of the Jegal Sega had no time to doubt who the guru was.

The chill was really gone.

‘Ice stone… What about the ice stone?’

Jegal-gyu hurriedly confirmed his position. Fortunately, what the Sega elders said was not wrong. One of the ice stones had a very fine incontinence.

“I found the cause though! The reason was that there was a crack in this ice stone. If you change this ice stone, the cold will not build up in the future!”

“Is that so.”

General Gong replied in a somewhat arrogant manner.

Jegal-gyu felt sorry for that answer. I made a mistake out of haste.

‘I made such a mistake…!’

Just now, General Gong asked the Taoist to respect the face of the Taoist who came out of the battlefield, but it was like denying the Taoist’s method head-on.

First of all, what the Taoist did was to drive away the accumulated cold, and that’s a great thing, but this jinbeop was the jinbeop of Jegal Sega, so there was a very minor overlook, and that was the incontinence in the ice stone, I should have said.

If you find the cause in the first place, you will be ignoring the other person’s face.

“Can I change the ice stone?”

“yes. Please.”

Jegalgyu endured shame and humiliation and changed the ice stone. I wanted to be angry with my heart, but it came from my own mistake. If you get angry here, you will damage Sega’s reputation.

Even though it was unfair, I had to finish it and leave.

“You are wonderful. Great deal! To find the cause just by looking at it once. I have always admired the fame of the Jegal family, and seeing it right in front of me like this feels enlightened!”

“……”

The fortunate thing was that the exorcist here was good at flattery.

Jegal-gyu usually despises those who only know how to flatter or flatter, but today he was grateful. It was helpful when I went in earlier, and it was also helpful in the warehouse.

Jegal-gyu gave Yeon Woo-hyuk a meaningful look.

As a lower person, he had done something extraordinary twice, so he looked at him saying he would definitely repay him.

“?”

However, from Yeon Woo-hyuk’s point of view, he had no choice but to stop.

I was flattered in case you didn’t know, but you showed an unexpectedly grateful reaction twice. I couldn’t figure out why he was doing that.

‘What a rare fellow. If you are a warrior of the Jegal family, don’t you listen to flattery like this a lot?’

“If there is a problem, send me a message. I will take responsibility in the name of Jegal Sega.”

“thank you. great deal.”

General Gong politely saw off Zhuge Gyu. Jegal-gyu also modestly greeted the commander-in-chief. Although the two had different opinions, on the outside, they were perfectly polite.

“hey. Come with me.”

“?!”

Yeon Woo-hyuk felt his heart sink.

Suddenly, Jegalgyu called him.

“What are you doing?”

“I know if you follow me. come.”

Jegal-gyu noticed the dull Po-kwae.

From noble mtl dot com

You couldn’t thank him for a piece of silver on a busy street. If you go to the inn where you are staying and give it to me, I will understand your exhilaration and bow my head again.

“…yes.”

Yeon Woo-hyeok followed after Jegal-gyu while thinking a lot. In my head, I thought of how to run away if I ran away from here, or what kind of attack Zhuge Gyu would attack, and so on.

The fortunate thing was that Zhuge Gyu’s appearance, which he scanned with his spiritual eyes, was very calm and unhostile.

‘But can you be sure I got it right?’

Yeon Woo-hyuk knew that the opponent’s martial arts skills were superior to his own. Besides, isn’t Jegal Se-Ga also good at visiting the Jwado?

While thinking about that, the two arrived near the inn. Yeon Woo-hyeok was surprised to see that the guest cup was not as luxurious as he thought. It was not a shabby inn, but it was not an inn for a warrior from the five generations to stay.

Of course, Murim people are often homeless people, but there was no reason to do so even in the city. Even more so if it is a warrior of the Jegal Sega.

Jegalgyu seemed to be worried too, so he opened his mouth first.

“It was difficult to find a room for other inns because they rushed.”

‘aha.’

“You are wonderful. Frugality, not obsessed with vanity. No other Sega will be able to follow.”

Jegalgyu smiled involuntarily.

This exuberance really excelled flattery. He had a knack for making people feel good even though he knew it was flattery.

‘It’s to the point where I want to call it a Sega worker.’

Even though the income was exhilarating, Sega’s workers could live a much more stable life. Jegal-gyu thought of giving it a try.

“Do, young boy!”

“?”

The servant brought by Jegalgyu jumped out of the inn. The face of the servant waiting inside was contemplative.

“What’s going on?”

“I… My anterior capsule is gone!”

“…!!”

* * *

Gaekjan was a small two-story building in the shape of a ‘ㅁ’. There was an old oak tree in a small vacant lot located inside the building arranged in a square, and travelers were unpacking and staying on the second floor.

Of course, the place where Jegalgyu stayed was also one of the spare rooms on the second floor.

While the servant went to the well to prepare tea for Zhuge Gyu’s return, someone took the bag from the room.

“Call me now!”

Jegal-gyu ordered the inn owner with a red face. Realizing that the other party was a soldier of the Jegal family, the owner of the guesthouse hurriedly made fun of his overweight body and called the guests.

People who were resting came down with faces mixed with annoyance or dissatisfaction. Seeing that, Jegalgyu asked.

“Who is missing?”

“No, no.”

“Good thing. Who are the other guests on the first floor?”

“None.”

said the servant cautiously. It was a quiet time, so Jeom So-yi was dozing off alone on the first floor.

Jegalgyu nodded. Fortunately, it seemed that the thief hadn’t escaped, thanks to Zhuge Gyu’s quick return. It was clear that one of the people staying on the second floor had stolen the bag.

“I am Jegalgyu. Someone here took advantage of my absence and stole the bag. I’m going to check your luggage, but if anyone refuses, come out.”

There were not many people who could refuse to say such a thing with a warrior wearing a sword, putting the prestige of Jegal Sega at the forefront. Because the moment I refused, it meant making a life-and-death decision.
