How To Live as a Civil Servant in Murim

* * *

How embarrassing would it be if I made such a boast and told him to leave it to me, but I missed it. Even the fundraising description was informed by the judge who opened the hidden location.

In order to save face, Dangdeung pursued him to the fullest. As the distance gradually decreased no matter how hard he tried, the depiction of fundraising gritted his teeth. My back and back were gradually getting colder, and it seemed that my memory would come flying at any moment.

“!”

Dang Deng opened his eyes wide.

All of a sudden, the side where the fundraising description crossed the wall was on the side of the city hall, so people were packed so tightly that their shoulders bumped into each other.

The dead and alive depiction of fundraising performed reverse magic and roamed among the people. Geolgyeonpyogong and Gyeonseolgogolgyeol reduced the popularity of fundraising descriptions and confused tracking.

‘I lived… I lived.’

The description of fundraising made me feel like I had used up all my luck for 10 years today. If it had been a little later or in a different place, the memorization emitted by the poison coma would have flowed into the blood on his back.

Looking back, I saw a single-married couple standing on the wall looking down at the battle with glowing eyes.

I wondered if the warriors of the party would kill all the people here, but the desire just in case urged the fundraising description.

‘…I’ll have to get out of here quickly.’

The fundraising description moved his steps while sweeping the scruff of his neck.

As my fear subsided a little, I began to think about the gains and losses. When I came to Hankyung, I suffered a great loss.

He almost died in a single coma, but it was painful to see his useful subordinates captured. It’s been days since Jin Chung-bi bullied him, but he himself was in a difficult situation.

Will you come back to save your pride and face, or will you back down?

‘…Let’s step back.’

The humiliation of having to resign like this because of a young judge was bitter, but the decision made me feel better.

The fundraiser realized that he was frightened by Jinchungbido.

I never thought I would be frightened by Jinchungbido, who is not alone.

It was a sound that other thieves would laugh at if they heard it, but they had no choice but to admit it. A sense of crisis that he might find out no matter what he did, rose to the bottom of his chin.

‘I tried to get an elder position this time, but…’

The reason why the fundraising description Jo Ui-mang was aiming for the bustling Hankyung with the Yongbong branch was simple.

What Cao Yi-Mang was aiming for now was Hao-Mun’s elder position.

It was Hao Mun, which had a heterogeneous structure different from other factions, but the weight and authority given by the elder of the Mun faction could not be ignored. This was a place any thief would covet.

However, the elder of Haomen could not be said to be old or strong in martial arts.

It was the position of an elder that could be achieved only when there were many achievements made for the Munpa.

The depiction of fundraising was to prove his qualifications by offering various secrets, weapons, and treasures to Haomen.

In the case of the Yongbong Branch Association, people from all kinds of clans flocked to Gangho, so even if they stole a few, it would be enough to scrape a handful of soil from Taesan. If it was the fundraising description and the subordinates taught by the fundraising description, I could have collected enough…

…I never thought I’d meet a mad judge.

“Cho Hwon’s second tree?”

“Gyeonpyegaegdomun (犬吠客到門).”

As soon as I said the secret language, the gatekeeper guarding the back door of Cheongwolru opened the door to come in. The fundraising description went inside, feeling the fatigue from running around Seoul all of a sudden.

“Cho Dae-hyeop!”

“What’s going on?”

When Haowen’s late exponent, Cui Feng Li Qiao, ran down the aisle with a tired face, which is rare, the fundraising description was taken aback.

“What did you do in Hankyung?”

“What’s going on… what’s my job? You know why?”

“Right now, the single married couple in Giru are determined to make a life-and-death decision.”

“……”

The fundraiser realized today that even if he touches people wrong, he usually touches them wrong.

* * *

Dang Deng, whose eyes were turned upside down from anger and humiliation, made up his mind to take revenge.

The fundraising description is someone who has a relationship with Hao Mun.

Then I’ll go to Haomen and bring him out!

“Party grand bargain. No matter how great the prestige of the party, you will regret this.”

The warriors, servants, and prostitutes of Haomen gathered on the third floor glared at the lantern with green faces.

No matter how powerful Tang Mun was, Hao Mun was not a faction to be ignored like this.

The bottom of the river was well aware of how to retaliate against the bottom.

It was for a reason that the other Sega and Gu file groups did not dare to touch or subjugate Haowen.

However, Dangdeung was also a formidable madman.

“do whatever you want! When you’re done, retaliate as you please. Instead, this party will do what it wants. I will definitely catch and kill that bastard!”

‘Crazy bastard!’

The warriors of Haomen felt keenly that they were told not to have any dealings with the warriors of Tangmun.

That reading mind that doesn’t care about profit or loss until his ego and emotions are resolved.

Today, the poisonous spirit first attacked Cheongwolru and defeated the courtesans and servants and climbed up to the third floor after passing through the first and second floors.

Then he said right away.

-Everyone here is addicted. If you want to live, call the fundraiser.

“Didn’t you tell me, Daein! We really don’t know such a thief!”

One of the prostitutes cried out sadly. His voice, like jade rolling, made the soy sauce melt.

But Dangdeung was cool.

“Then find out!”

“How do you find a two-legged man roaming the earth?”

“If you can’t do it, die!”

“……”

The prostitutes retreated with tired eyes. He was a really crazy bastard.

Either that or not, Dang Deng sat with his eyes closed. After about an hour, Dang Deng opened his eyes.

“Tell the guys upstairs! You guys are addicted too. It’s time for the poison to rise.”

“Absolutely not!”

Wuwen Haomen stared at him and said.

I don’t know if it’s the servants or unmanned people on the third floor, but isn’t the second floor where the guests are?

When they become addicted, the catch-up becomes really tricky.

“If they’re poisoned, you won’t be safe either, single coma!”

“Thank you for worrying about this party. I’ll take care of my business! bring that guy Otherwise, everyone here will become a handful of blood!”

‘Crazy bastard…!’

“I lost! Single coma! stop!”

thud!

The inner door opened, and a fundraising depiction jumped out and fell face down. Dangdeung saw this and was a little surprised.

I’m sure Haomen knew the information, but I thought he was hiding by Haomen’s side. It seemed that the relationship was deeper than I thought.

“I was wrong, release the poison!”

“i get it.”

The single man beckoned politely. The green energy on the faces of the people on the third floor quickly diminished.

“Great bargain. Downstairs please!”

It made me angry to call such a bastard a big brother, but the Haomen warriors held back.

“There is no downstairs.”

“yes?”

“I didn’t poison it.”

“……”

“once! Once, out of respect for Hao Mun’s face, he let it go. But if you look at me like that one more time, I’ll rip your eyes out.”

“I’m sorry.”

The unmanned people prostrated themselves. Once again, he felt the eccentric nature of the single coma.

Hereticism appeared behind the fundraising depiction. Even in the chaotic situation, Lee Gyo spoke calmly, befitting a late Jisu who is treated as Haomun’s potential soju.

“Why did you find a fundraising description for a single married couple?”

“Should I tell you?”

“If you don’t want to tell me, you can. Haomen would think so too.”

Dangdeung also showed a slight remorse at the cold criticism.

“okay. I have to tell you the reason why I jumped like this. The fundraising description has damaged my face.”

“What am I doing to save your face…!”

The fundraising description was really unfair. The description of fundraising was not stupid enough to touch the warrior of the party.

“Isn’t there a misunderstanding?”

“Then ask him.”

“I just warned a judge! A guy named Jinchungbido. That bastard is getting in the way of this, so stay still…”

The fundraising description he was talking about stopped.

All the people in Haomen on the third floor were staring at him in amazement.

Chapter 107

“Why?”

The fundraising description was baffling.

It was not common for Hao Mundo, who had gone through all of the prenatal battles, to look at them like this.

In addition, some of them were sending eyes of contempt beyond astonishment.

“No matter how it is, how can you threaten me like that?”

“What… No… You mean that Yang Yang has to take care of things like a judge?”

If you don’t know about other places, in Haomen, these words were very unfamiliar.

However, despite the protests of the description of fundraising, some Hao Mundo cast a cold gaze.

“Jinchungbi is different from other judges who are better. Do you know how many people are beholden to him? Among the Hao Mundo outside, there will be quite a number of them.”

“What…”

As for the description of fundraising, I never imagined that there would be a judge in the world who would listen to such words.

Where is the judge who will listen to good words from Hao Mundo who have no power to pay even a meager bribe?

“Apart from that, Haowen of Hankyung took care of himself the other day.”

Heretic added with an unusually perplexed face. Only then did the fundraising description hesitantly ask if he had a feeling.

“That guy… No, that guy did something to Hao-wen?”

“yes.”

“I didn’t know. How did you know that the judge was like that?”

From the point of view of fundraising, there was obviously an unfair side.

Judges were people whose perception was never good to the Murim people of Gangho. In fact, there was no high official who had good perception among the Murim people.

When asked to solve a small matter, he demanded a bribe, and if the bribe was refused, he threatened the other side with benefits, and sometimes he created a case that did not exist and ripped off the hermit.

It is said that Po Kwae gets a lot of criticism, but in fact, the real big thief is not a judge.

That’s why, when I heard that the judge’s talent was excellent, I only thought it would be a guy who sold that skill at a high price.

The judge has a talent and uses it fairly.

It seemed that a man possessed by a ghost in broad daylight would say something more plausible than that.

“I guess so.”

“!”

When the single spouse suddenly took his side, the depiction of fundraising was taken aback.

“why…”

“Because you are a petty thief! If he had been a real great swordsman, he would have known what kind of person the judge was and bowed down to his personality before he got his eyes wide open. Did you just call yourself a gentleman? Hey, you son of a thief! When Jin-shik called the thief hiding under the rafters “Gun Yang Yang,” the thief felt ashamed and prostrated himself. What are you, you call yourself a gentleman? You’re too small to be called a thief, you bastard!”

“…!”

The face of the fundraiser went white with shock.

The single man’s remark pierced the conscience of the fundraising writer more sharply than any insult.

Perhaps if the fund-raising description was an ordinary thief, that irresistible remark to the fund-raising description, who prided himself as a great sword and recited the judo of the province, was as painful as being hit in the head with an iron hammer.

“I have… nothing to say.”

“No!”

“Please calm down, Dang Dae-hyeop. But how did the depiction of fundraising hurt the face of the Daehyeop by touching the judge?”

“ah. I promised Jinchungbido that I would pick up a fundraising description.”

“……”

“……”

The Haomen warriors looked at the hallway floor with strange eyes. It was because I couldn’t tell what sound would come if I raised my head and looked at the dang lantern.

“Is that so. Then, did the Dang Daehyeop arrest the subordinates of the fundraising description?”

“That’s what Jinchungbido caught.”

“?”

Pagan tilted his head because he did not understand even with his intelligence.

If Judge Yeon held the subordinates and Judge Yeon dug up the information, wouldn’t the party really catch them…?

Suddenly, a commotion was heard from below, and a servant hurriedly ran up and called out.

“Yeah, Judge Yan is here!”

* * *

Yeon Woo-hyuk’s heart sank as soon as he heard one of the exhilarating reports, ‘Daehyeop, a single-married couple, seems to be doing something after entering Cheongwollu.’

I don’t know what he’s trying to do, but I don’t think it would be very good for Yeon Woo-hyuk!

Yeon Woo-hyeok spread light air and flew to the front of Cheongwolru. It was the first time that I had been able to use all my might.

“Party grand bargain! Great deal!”

“Why are you making such a fuss?”

Dang Deng came down the stairs upstairs with his hands behind his back. Yeon Woo-hyuk caught his breath, wiping the sweat with the cloth the attendant had brought him.

“if…”

“if?”

“Did you fight at Cheongwolru?”

“It’s not? what are you talking about?”

Dang Deng put on an expression of surprise as if he had heard something absurd. Then he looked at the servant next to him and asked.

“Did I ever fight or make a fuss here?”

“oh my. no. The Dang Daehyeop is not the kind of person to do that!”

‘pup.’

The servant cursed inwardly. If it wasn’t for Tang Mun, that bastard would have perished in the river.

It wasn’t enough that they broke in and poisoned them on their own. When the judge came, they shut their mouths and pretended nothing had happened.

What do you mean there are all these babies?

Yeon Woo-hyuk looked around with an expressionless face. Dang Deng, well aware of how keenly aware the judge in front of him was, tried to divert his attention by clearing his throat.

“Why are you here?”

“I heard that Daehyeop ran into Cheongwolru, so I came running just in case.”

“ah. that!”

Dangdeung nodded his head as if he knew at that time.

“It’s like trying to catch up on fundraising.”

“You mean fundraising?”

“okay. After chasing the guy who ran away earlier, I ended up going to Cheongwolru. He’s very cunning! I thought that if I went into the crowded Giru, I wouldn’t be able to chase it. But who am I?”

“It’s a single marriage grand bargain.”

“yes. yes. I went right in and ran after him. Fortunately, the people of Cheongwolru have a spirit of chivalry, so they heard my cry and understood the situation. I got out of my way and blocked him, so I was able to catch him like this. Isn’t it?”

“Right, right.”

The captured fundraiser nodded with a tired expression. The single man who had just looked behind him was glaring at the fund-raising description with blue eyes burning with poisonous eyes.

The fear that I might die on the spot if I didn’t get the words right came up.

“I would never have thought he would catch a thief even in such an inconvenient situation. Once again, I admired Daehyup. Can anyone in Gangho act like Daehyeop?”

“…Kerham.”

It was quite shameless, but when he heard Yeon Woo-hyuk’s praise, he seemed a little embarrassed. It was just like looking out the window.

“Even when I lost sight of him earlier, I felt like the ground was collapsing because I thought I would never catch this thief…”

“Yes, yes! ruler. He’s here! i’m going to go Pimple rain too. I’ve had enough of you congratulating me on becoming a judge!”

Dang Deng waved his hand and quickly left. Yeon Woo-hyuk, who was left with the Haomun people, sighed once and apologized.

“I would like to apologize on behalf of the Dangdaehyeop for causing an uproar. Are poisoned people okay?”

“…!”

The fundraising description was surprising.

At least, there was no trace of anything that would feel incongruent in the description of fundraising.

‘This, how is this person…?’

“No one was hurt, so it’s okay. You don’t have to worry about the grace you received last time. And if you have to apologize, shouldn’t the single man do it himself?”

“After all, isn’t that what I asked for?”

Yeon Woo-hyuk let out a sigh of relief.

When he realized that Dang Deng had run amok while spraying poison, he was worried about how far his relationship with Hao Wen would deteriorate, but apparently he didn’t seem upset.

Even if I was angry at least, I was angry with Dangdeung, but it seemed that the arrow would not be turned to Yeon Woo-hyuk. The party’s eccentric rumors were helpful at times like these.

“Rather, it is something we should apologize for. I had no idea that the description of fundraising would interfere with the official duties of an adult judge.”

“How many Hao Mundo do you think can be held responsible for all their actions? it’s okay.”

“If you need help during the Yongbong Branch, please visit us. Although my skills are poor, I will do my best to help.”

After the conversation, Yeon Woo-hyuk came out with a description of fundraising. It wasn’t tied tightly, but it wasn’t too difficult to drag it out anyway, since the party had finished the blood points.

After silently thinking about the fundraising description, he said.

“Look. Pimple rain too.”

“I am listening.”

“I have something to tell you.”

Yeon Woo-hyuk nodded as if he could guess.

“I’m curious about Hankyung’s market price.”

Criminals were subject to various punishments, such as flogging, long punishment, dohyeong (徒刑) or exile.

In fact, these punishments, which at first glance seem to have nothing in common, had one thing in common.

It was that a speed-up was possible.

This benevolent state law, which could be released cleanly by paying only a suitable hermit for the crime, could benefit anyone except for a few specific sins, special circumstances, or high officials of the court.

Of course, Hankyung was the same. The market price of Hankyung’s second brother was a bit expensive, but in Yeon Woohyuk’s view, it was enough to pay the price if he had the money to describe fundraising.

He has a deep relationship with Hao Mun and still has some subordinates left. He should have brought enough material.

The palace judges are probably praying for the fundraising depiction to be sentenced to death by pouring purified water.

“Since it gained notoriety in the North, it won’t be punished more harshly in the Hankyung. However, there is a crime of coming to Hankyung and intimidating the judge, so that will be added. It won’t be cheap, but it can’t be helped.”

Yeon Woo-hyuk nodded his head with an ‘um’.

It wasn’t that he had personal feelings for this thief, but he couldn’t just sit in the judge’s seat and cut the sentence.

“…I didn’t mean to talk about the inner sentence.”

“You didn’t mean to talk about your brother-in-law?”

Yeon Woo-hyuk was surprised.

“You mean you just want to be punished? why? Did your men even run away?”

Yeon Woo-hyuk didn’t care, but there were a lot of people who would be sad if the fundraising description was just punished. This was especially true of the palace judges.

“…No, the second sentence can be done. No matter how expensive it is, that is not a big deal.”

‘This bastard.’

Yeon Woo-hyuk was slightly enraged at the words of a thief who seemed to be ten times richer than himself.

“If those who were stolen by you come to you, the sentence may increase.”

“Most of those who have been robbed by me do not even know they have been robbed by me.”

“……”

“Anyway, I didn’t mean to say that. Pimple rain too. I felt ashamed when I heard the words of a single coma in this incident.”

“Right.”

Yeon Woo-hyuk gave a rough answer.

It was because there was no need to attach meaning to the words that the thief repented and reflected after being caught.

Until now, those caught by Yeon Woo-hyeok always repented, reflected, felt ashamed, and so they asked for release and cut them down.

“I lived my whole life as a thief, but I still thought I was keeping the way. But this time I made a mistake, blinded by my haste. I am so ashamed.”

“Right.”

“Originally, I was aiming for the position of elder of Haomen. Do you know why? It was to keep my martial arts on my own and aim for a higher level. I’m not interested in fighting, but I’m interested in raising the level of martial arts I’ve learned. Even if I only rise to the pinnacle, there will be no opponent in the world.”

“Right.”

“But it was… greed. Even a thief has a way, and knowing from whom to steal what is the holy way, but I forgot that.”

“Right.”

“So I thought. If you don’t trust yourself, you will be ashamed of this for the rest of your life.”

“Right.”

“Any other judge would have paid for his crimes by offering treasure, but I thought that the rain would be an insult to you. So I am going to tell you a secret.”

“Right.”

“Blood Religion warriors want to participate in this dragonfeng branch!”

“Right. …Wait, what did you just say?”

“…you didn’t hear?”

Yeon Woo-hyuk responded to the eyes of the fundraiser without changing his expression.

“I heard everything. It’s such a shocking story that I want to hear it again.”

“……”
