How To Live as a Civil Servant in Murim

“ I don’t know what you mean.”

“That guy from the Black School is right…! A cunning rat that sticks to the liver and then to the gallbladder…!”

As soon as the Ghost Spear Girl finished speaking, Jang Teng-Won’s sword aimed at the blood. Although he escaped a fatal wound, the ghost with a deep cut on his back could not stand it any longer and fell to his knees.

“Did you say Jinchungbido…?”

The ghost-changer clutched at the wound and shouted like a growl.

“If you want to wipe out the Madou guys, remember the black textbook. Because he’s the one who helps Madou and concocts all kinds of malicious schemes!”

With those words, the Ghost Spear Girl firmly held on to the short spear. It was to end his own life without suffering any more.

“for a moment!”

Yeon Woo-hyuk sang Ghost Girl.

“…What?”

“If you want to take revenge on the Black Diocese, tell me in more detail. What kind of sleep are you?”

“This guy… belongs to Heukyeombang, but it’s safe to say that he doesn’t actually belong to a faction. They go all over the place and devise schemes for a fee.”

“indeed. Do you have any weaknesses? What are the characteristics?”

“His martial arts…”

While enduring the pain, the gwichang monster confessed what she knew about the black textbook.

Yeon Woo-hyuk listened with interest. It was worth referring to in case you happen to see it later.

“Right. Anything more to say?”

“does not exist…”

“Then do what you want to do.”

“……”

Gwichang Goegi took a look at the dagger he caught and then looked at Yeon Woo-hyuk.

Come to think of it, that Jinchungbido almost ruined this job.

Not only did I find the hidden Madou, but I also revealed the entire story.

The ghost-changing girl suddenly burst into anger.

“How dare you treat this grim reaper…!”

Awesome!

Before Madou made a final effort, Zhang Dengyuan quickly swung his sword. The Ghost Spear Girl’s neck soared upwards.

“Thank you.”

“hmm. Jinchungbi too… It’s good to get information from Madou, but it’s dangerous to overstimulate it. Because their tactics can be dangerous.”

“Ugh. Right. I wasn’t particularly overstimulated.”

“……”

Lieutenant Jeong looked up and approached the eunuchs.

Hwangsoojang’s work was completed, and as Hongmok’s truth was revealed, the purpose was achieved to some extent.

But Jung’s work is not over yet.

In this work, the activity of the golden chair was too lacking.

To be precise, it was good to see that there was little activity. It was fortunate to hear that he did not hold back.

We’re going to raise each other’s orders soon, but I couldn’t help but worry about the aftermath.

It was difficult to force a situation where the truth was clear to this extent. The truth was easily revealed with only a few face-to-face encounters.

Lieutenant Jeong was not stupid enough to force himself to face an immediate counterattack.

The best way was to compromise with the eunuchs.

If an alumni gives a certain amount of consideration to Lieutenant Jeong’s face when giving a funeral, Lieutenant Jeong will also return to the rank of gold and be safe.

“What do you think?”

“Are you out of your mind?”

Joong-gwan Huh looked at Lieutenant Jeong as if he was stunned. The old eunuch’s cold eyes made Inspector Jeong slightly intimidated, but he still did not give up and opened his mouth.

“…it won’t be bad for you either.”

“I am listening. Keep talking. I wonder what excuses those who lost sight of the criminals will make when they continue to interfere with the work of their alumni and secretly follow them.”

Feeling his heart burning with humiliation, Lieutenant Jeong let out a sigh.

“If you help me this time, I will help you too.”

“like.”

Heo Joong-gwan threw an interesting gaze. It seemed he wasn’t really that stupid.

“You mean that I will cooperate as the head of the Golden Guard no matter what happens later?”

“…Yes.”

This pact was not an easy thing to do. Later, when the alumni and Geumuiwi collided, he could have acted as the alumni’s spy.

He must have known that, but seeing him do that, it seemed that he was quite concerned about the mistake he had made in this job.

“I’d love to see Lieutenant Commander use the blood plate, but there’s still one thing missing.”

“What else?”

Professor Jeong was annoyed.

No matter how you think about it, using the blood plate as a condition of mentioning it at the funeral was a profitable deal for the alumni. If the lieutenant himself hadn’t been in a hurry, he would never have done this.

But what more do you want?

“hahahaha. Don’t be annoyed. Because I’m not a golden guard. If you continue to be in a bad mood, it will be a story that has nothing to do with the blood plate.”

“…sorry.”

“The question is whether the public will accept such a deal or not.”

“What… isn’t that an unconditional benefit!”

“That is your idea. Surprisingly, the public is not interested in such a deal.”

In the eyes of Junggwan Heo, the provincial public office seemed highly likely to reject the offer.

First of all, there is no need for more spies, and if the royal guard takes some share in this funeral, the young judge’s share will be reduced a little.

“Let me tell you myself!”

“What? I’d rather not…”

Heo Jung-gwan smiled as he saw the back of Lieutenant Jeong as he strode away.

Unsurprisingly, as soon as Lieutenant Jeong approached the palanquin, he was overpowered by the eunuchs and had to slam his face into the dirt. The offer was naturally rejected.

“……”

When Lieutenant Jeong returned trembling with a muddy face, Jungkwan Heo tutted.

“I told you so.”

“…i get it. Let’s do something that never happened.”

“no. There is a way.”

“?!”

Lieutenant Jeong listened while feeling humiliated at the sight of Joong-gwan Heo playing with people.

“what…?”

“Do you see that young judge over there?”

“see.”

When Joong-gwan Heo pointed at Yeon Woo-hyuk, Lieutenant Jeong nodded his head in confusion.

Originally, I thought he was Podu, who was lucky enough to help the Geumuiwi and rise up in the world, but after this job was over, I completely changed my mind.

No matter how nasty he was, he couldn’t deny his ability. Rather, I wondered if the rumors were a little less exaggerated.

“Convince the young judge. Then maybe the public will allow it.”

“Are you kidding me!”

Lieutenant Jeong got angry and tried to turn around. Jungkwan Huh shrugged his shoulders and didn’t care.

“Do whatever you want.”

“…why is it permissible to persuade him?”

Heo Jung-gwan did not answer. Lieutenant Jeong, who was grinding his teeth, walked over to the young judge and said something.

-Do you need anything?

The young judge looked at the lieutenant like a madman and then went away. Seeing this, Joong-gwan Huh burst into laughter.

Alumni, trustworthy friends of the people (8)

“I asked if I needed anything!”

As Lieutenant Jeong continued to chase after him, Yeon Woo-hyeok wondered if the opponent was a madman.

“I just wish you wouldn’t come after me. Why are you chasing me?”

Perhaps it would have happened if he had taken care of him last time, but Yeon Woo-hyeok did not want to build a close relationship with the military officer of the Golden Guard in front of him.

He has an arrogant and impetuous personality, so he doesn’t know what mistakes he might make, and isn’t he the kind of person who would betray Yeon Woo-hyeok at any time in order to make a contribution in the name of the Golden Council?

Although the name of Geumuiwi was scary, there was no need to cringe as Yeon Woo-hyuk had a relationship with his alumni.

“You bastard must understand, so the alumni will also agree!”

“what…?”

Yeon Woo-hyeok did not know what had happened until after hearing the instructor’s explanation. Joong-gwan Heo was kind.

‘no. Maybe it was just because it was fun.’

Seeing him giggling from a distance, it could have been that he just wanted to harass the rank and file.

In any case, it wasn’t a bad thing to leave debts to Geumuiwi. I’m sure there will come a day when I’ll write…

‘Can I just call it me?’

Yeon Woo-hyuk pondered.

Heo Joong-gwan had built up a certain amount of friendship and could tell from the Spiritual Eye that he had a goodwill toward him. As such, this kind of kindness was not surprising.

On the other hand, Gong Joo was even more cautious because his spiritual eyes did not work because of the treasures he possessed. Although Yeon Woo-hyuk’s talent was evaluated quite highly, he had to be more careful at such times.

Yeon Woo-hyeok was the only one to lose if he asked for mention of the goldsmith’s achievements in the funeral rites, and even if it was out of sight.

‘If you live for the offense…’

“Because it’s good for you too!”

“ah. Be quiet. Are you worried?”

Yeon Woo-hyeok thought about whether to go to Jung-gwan Heo and ask him again, or whether he should sneak up on the public.

In the meantime, Lieutenant Jeong became more and more nervous. The judge in front of me didn’t seem to be bothered at all.

“This is really…”

“I want you to be quiet.”

“It will help you too! Think carefully. You guys don’t know, but soon the Moorim guys will hold a Yongbong branch. Do you know what this means? There will definitely be times when you need my help!”

“??”

Yongbong Branch.

It was a contest in which several political factions gathered to compete against the martial arts of the late exponents.

It is said that it promotes the development and friendship of the political faction Murim, but like the original Murim people with swords, if they gather together, a fight will break out.

Sapa Murim also tried to open something unreasonable, but it didn’t work out for a reason. There are a lot of problems even if you do it in the Jeongpa Murim, but how severe can it be in the Sapa Murim?

“The Yongbong branch is opening, so why do I need your help?”

“Keugh… don’t go anywhere and say this. It’s close to top-secret information. It will probably be held in the plain near Mt. Palgang, not far from Hankyung. I’m pretty sure it’s something I heard from the elder.”

“!”

Yeon Woo-hyuk was surprised.

The Yongbong branch is being held near Hankyung!

‘no…’

Of course, Hankyung was a bustling metropolis, but it was the worst situation from the management point of view. In particular, it was doubly the worst for Yeon Woo-hyuk, who was sitting in the judge’s seat.

Isn’t it that there are hundreds or thousands of rogue boats with swords near Hankyung!

It was eye-opening when you think of the number of people with strong backs among those ruffians.

“…no! Absolutely not!”

“I agree. Moorim guys. It’s disgusting to disregard the laws of the country and wield a sword, but to come together like that and brazenly boast of your prestige.”

Inspector Jeong gnashed his teeth as if he was offended just by thinking about it.

As the golden throne, the Murim people were a bunch of miscreants who had nothing to help the world. Just thinking about the accident they caused made my teeth tremble.

What made it even more upsetting was that there were more people who sided with them among the imperial family and high-ranking officials than expected.

What is so great about his high priest or guru’s power, and how much money did he take from them?

“for a moment. Then, if you grant me this request, will you lend me the power of the Golden Guard during the Yongbong Branch?”

“…If you need anything, I will help at least once.”

“no. That’s not enough.”

“What’s wrong!”

Lieutenant Jeong was furious at the answer of the young judge, who looked down on the sword of the Golden Guard, but Yeon Woo-hyuk did not go over easily.
