How To Live as a Civil Servant in Murim

“ What!? Wait, did you kill a soldier of the political faction by any chance? Or the good people?”

“no. I killed three rongins.”

“Good thing. That’s not a suspicious Moorim. If you see any other suspicious Murim people, tell me.”

Jegal-gyu regained his composure at Yeon Woo-hyeok’s words.

Originally, if more than 10 Murim people who were not from a political faction gathered together, at least one corpse would be found.

If it was a place full of Murim people blinded by greed like Palgangchon now, it wouldn’t be strange if sword fighting took place.

The important thing was who the Murim man swung his sword at.

If it was a soldier of the rightist faction, I couldn’t even interfere with the fight between the ronins. That was the job of the judge or the prefecture, not the job of Jegal-gyu.

Of course, not all Murim people thought like Zhuge Gyu. Peng Juseong cried out in surprise.

“Wait, wait. Kyu Oh! What does that mean?”

‘also.’

Yeon Woo-hyeok was relieved by Paeng Ju-seong’s reaction. Unlike Jegal-gyu, who seemed to have no friends at first sight, Paeng Ju-seong showed a different reaction as a knight with many friends.

“How did you find out that you killed the three rongins?”

“……”

While Yeon Woo-hyeok agonized over the future of the Jeongpa Murim, Jegal-gyu answered instead.

“Brother Peng. The kite exhilaration here is different from the ordinary exhilaration. He has a knack for guessing what the other person is thinking just by looking at the way they dress.”

“So how did you find out that you killed the three rongins?”

“…The answer will be a lot of fun. Kite exhilaration?”

Jegal-gyu realized belatedly that he himself did not know the answer to Paeng Ju-seong’s question, and blushed slightly. Fortunately, Paeng Ju-seong didn’t notice that Jegal-gyu didn’t know and turned his attention to Yeon Woo-hyeok.

Yeon Woo-hyuk, who belatedly woke up from his thoughts, answered for an explanation.

“The Murim people over there are left-handed.”

“why?”

“Your left shoulder is down.”

“ah. That’s right.”

“By the way, that Murim man has a sword hanging from his left waist.”

Jegalgyu understood and nodded. Paeng Juseong did not understand.

“What is it like?”

“…You’re right-handed, but don’t you kick like that?”

“ah. That’s right.”

“Besides, the awkward gait and the constant fiddling with the belt must be a warrior who is not accustomed to carrying a sword around his waist.”

Peng Juseong was amazed. In fact, this Pokewa had magical powers.

“That’s how you found out that three ronin were dead!”

“Brother Peng. Only one came out.”

“ah. That’s right.”

“If you look at his ankles, there is a clot of dark green blood. It is said that he was hit by a poisoned memorization, but walking out intact means that he took the antidote. Wouldn’t there be only one way for such a ronin to find an antidote in this situation?”

“It must have been taken after killing the opponent.”

Murim people who use poison always carry an antidote in case they become poisoned. Paeng Juseong nodded.

“The last one?”

“There is blood on your fist.”

“Couldn’t it be the blood of the two demons you just killed?”

“The sword on my waist and the wound on my ankle both took some time. The blade of the sword (劍兀, the part that connects the blade and the handle) and the blood on the wound are all dried up, but the blood on the fist is still dripping, so it must have been one more kill.”

Paeng Juseong’s eyes widened and his cheeks flushed with excitement. It was so admirable.

“Kyu ah! I think I know why my brother praised it so highly. This exuberant man will sit and watch a thousand miles!”

“Not quite like that.”

Yeon Woo-hyuk’s words were sincere.

Combining the Spiritual Eye, which reads the other person’s information in the blink of an eye, and the countless cases that have been solved, it was not so difficult to figure out what he was doing even if he was meeting someone for the first time.

I also remembered the opponent walking right away.

Originally, this was an incident where four dead bodies of Murim people had fallen and you had to guess why these four bodies were formed. It was clear that the Murim people, who should have died by chance, had been lucky enough to come back to life.

“Hey…”

While Paeng Juseong exclaimed in admiration, the Murim man who was walking fell to the side. He won the fight, but he lost too much blood and couldn’t stand it.

The fallen Murim man rolled down the slope and landed in a bush.

Paeng Juseong and his party went down and saw traces of a promiscuous fight and four corpses lying around. The fallen Murim had already stopped breathing.

“I’m really sorry, yes. Gwansinyeoma (觀身如沫), Hwanbeopyama (幻法野馬). Danma Hwabu (斷魔華敷), Buddha-do-sasaeng (不覩死生).”

Paeng Juseong put his palms together and memorized verses of Buddhist scriptures. And the corpses were laid well and placed in a sunny place.

‘for a moment. If it’s four corpses, aren’t they there?’

Among the corpses, Yeon Woo-hyeok wrote a poisoned memorandum and found a corpse that had been decapitated. If I remember correctly, it was probably in this body.

Suddenly, as I rummaged through the corpse’s trousers, I felt the other warriors panic. Yeon Woo-hyuk quickly took out what he was looking for.

“Look.”

“What is this?”

“It’s Jangbodo. It seems to be circulating among the nearby Murim people.”

Murim people did not move simply by rumors. Rumors easily grow, but also easily disappear.

This kind of Jangbodo played a role in setting fire to the hearts of Murim people who were blinded by desire. Even if it was a rumor, there were not many Murim people who could pass on the jangbodo without checking it.

‘Now that I’ve followed you, I have to set the ball.’

Since I was dragged like this, I had to receive something when I went back. Otherwise, it was a very profitable business.

“Brother Peng. see Don’t you even go around fake shopping malls? If someone did it with malice, it could be dangerous.”

“By the way, can’t it be a real grocery store? Even if it’s a fake, it’s possible that someone made a fake and sold it to make a profit.”

“That is true, but…”

“ruler. ruler. Now that this has happened, join the other friends as soon as possible. Everyone will be waiting for you.”

While the Murim people were talking, Yeon Woo-hyeok took small change from the corpse and memorized and prayed. Poor Pokewa didn’t even have enough money to buy weapons, so he had to keep them.

Right now, there were no peddlers or wanderers around Palgang Village. Those who walked quickly ran away from the moment they saw the Murim people, and now all that remained were those who had difficulty leaving this village.

But even so, there was no bloody fight in Palgangchon. It was because most of the Murim people who had a corner to trust among the gathered Murim people were staying in the village.

The ronin and the wandering Murim people who had nothing to lose were sleeping outside the village and fighting each other, but within the village, an unspoken rule was made.

It was a rule not to cause a fight with each other as there would be nothing good from bumping into each other.

The close friends brought by Peng Ju-seong were staying in the nicest-looking house in the village. The Murim people, who were eating the porridge prepared by the village headman, stood up with happy faces when they saw Paeng Juseong and Jegalgyu.

“Brother Peng. Are you here now?”

“Pang hyung!”

“No, isn’t that Jegalgyu? Why is he sleeping?”

“Shh. keep quiet In this situation, isn’t the wisdom of Jegal Sei necessary? Pang Dae-hyeop must have known about it and brought it.”

…To be precise, it was close to waking up with a happy face after seeing only Paeng Juseong.

The Murim people, who were welcoming, were puzzled when they saw Yeon Woo-hyuk.

“Exciting? Why did you come to a place like this?”

“Couldn’t you have presumptuously come here to hunt down the Murim people?”

Some of the Murim people showed anger on their faces.

If it was a small street with a lot of people, even a Moorim person with great authority would have noticed to cut the Pokkeum, but this place was a remote place where there were not many eyes to see. It didn’t matter even if he cut off at least one cheeky pluck.

To the Murim people, Podu and Poqwae were rats who could not even raise their heads when their eyes met while greedily revealing the hermit. There was no reason to show any favors.

“no. Everyone listen to me. This exhilaration really has Gyeonggukjijae.”

“no. Pang Daehyeop.”

When Paeng Ju-seong tried to praise him too much, Yeon Woo-hyeok stepped forward to cut off the conversation.

In front of Murim people who don’t like cheerfulness, such praise could have had the opposite effect.

But there were also those who found it distasteful. Yeom Il-lim, one of the soldiers who followed Paeng Ju-seong, shouted in anger.

“This child. How dare you cut off Pang’s words with mere exhilaration!”

“Yeom ah! What does that mean? Apologize right away! What kind of disrespect is this to a person who works for the country for a green salary!”

“Oh, no. I am okay.”

When Yeom Il-rim glared at him with a grudge, Yeon Woo-hyeok tried to stop Paeng Ju-seong. Even accepting an apology didn’t help anything, and it seemed like it would only make enemies.

However, Paeng Ju-seong made Yeom Il-lim apologize with a stern face.

‘It’s like a cushion of thorns.’

Yeon Woo-hyuk sighed at the chilly atmosphere.

Apparently, the Murim people gathered here seemed close to Paeng Ju-seong or close to Paeng Ju-seong’s subordinates. Of course, Paeng Juseong would say that the latter was also a close friend, but there was a high possibility that it was his own idea.

‘I may not know those from the five generations, but it won’t be easy to match those from other families.’

Didn’t he show a reaction close to that of a subordinate just by looking at a soldier like Yeom Il-rim?

Even if Paeng Juseong was a good person, he was not gathered just because of that. As a human being, it was natural to expect the name of Hebuk Paengga and the rice cakes from that family.

‘They’re not from the five generations, then…’

Yeon Woo-hyeok took his eyes off Paeng Ju-seong’s subordinates and looked around at his real friends.

Her shoulder-length hair, her slightly charming eyes, yet menacingly gleaming eyes. And a woman with trained fingers showing through her sleeves.

‘I’ll go to Sichuan. Looking at Jegal-gyu’s expression, that person is the right person.’

It was not difficult to distinguish the noble bloodlines from the five generations. It was because the Murim people, who were not from Oh Dae-se, were busily moving and doing chores.

Even in that situation, there was one more person who didn’t move and stayed still.

A height equal to or slightly taller than Paeng Juseong. And a muscular appearance that makes you feel more trained in the external field. It didn’t seem strange to the woman to pick up the great sword lying on the floor next to her and swing it, but she closed her eyes and focused on meditation.

‘Habukpaeng? Is it Peng Juseong’s family?’

“He is my younger brother. oh. Did you notice it already?”

“I can’t know that much.”

“hahahaha. humility. ruler. Listen. Why did you bring this exhilarating…”

Paeng Ju-seong explained to the people in the yard what kind of pleasure the lotus pleasure was. It was a mixture of Zhuge Gyu’s explanation and what he had seen himself, and then mixed it up to the point of bluffing.

Jegalgyu’s mouth was itching to intervene, but he held it in.

“…It’s such an exhilaration. Isn’t that great?”

“That… I see.”

“Amazing.”

The Murim people who were seated were dubious faces.

Those who did not believe cast doubtful eyes on whether Paeng Ju-sung had been tricked by the cunning Po-kwa or was fooled by bluffing.

“Did you say exhilarating?”

“oh. yes.”

Paeng Juseong’s younger sister spoke to him with her eyes still closed. Yeon Woo-hyuk responded politely.

“From what I’ve heard, it seems to have excellent supernatural powers.”

“It is a trivial feat. I’m just ashamed that Pang Daehyeop overrated him.”

“I’ve been through a mysterious thing before, and I wonder if you can solve it.”

‘what?’

“I will listen first.”

“A couple who run a clothing store went on a long trip to visit their relatives one day…”

“Did the nobleman kill his wife?”

Paeng Juseong’s sister opened her eyes in surprise.

Insa Paengjuseong (3)

In fact, Paeng Joo-hee had some idea of the inside story of this mysterious event.

The nearby Podu and Hyeongryeong were incompetent and could not solve this problem and skipped it, but Paeng Juhui realized what had happened as soon as he heard it.

-A woman who runs a clothing store left a long way to visit her relatives one day, but stopped by a nearby village to spend the night and her wife was murdered. Who could have done such a heinous thing?

The incompetent Hyun-ryeong caught the villagers and interrogated them, but of course no useful answers came out.

From the beginning, Peng Ju-hui thought she should have caught her husband and interrogated her. Because there were a limited number of people who would kill their wives under such circumstances.

None of the villagers had a grudge against their husbands or wives. If she killed her greed for riches, her husband should have died as well.

So, shouldn’t we be suspicious of our husbands?

However, the incompetent hyeongryeong and the podus didn’t think of this and wasted their time in vain. Thanks to that, the husband was able to return to the clothing store with people’s sympathy.

‘How to do this?’

Paeng Joo-hee looked at Po-kee in amazement.
