How To Live as a Civil Servant in Murim

chapter 3



Sapodou was taken aback. I didn’t know that a master of the level of Pyung-won would say he didn’t have confidence.

Jeongil was also taken aback. Jeongil looked at him and shut his mouth.

“Look. He said that even a sword with an iron heart might fail once in ten. Then, how difficult would it be for other Murim people of a lower level than Daehyeop? Did you believe in such a method and came to kill the old man?”

“That…that’s, that’s the story of the Pyeongdaehyeop! The tripartite may have learned a special way to rise!”

Yeon Woo-hyuk did not say, ‘Shouldn’t the one who claims it have to prove it?’ It was because he knew that it would only lead to pointless quarrels.

Instead, he stabbed the other side and entered.

“Big deal! I dare to ask. If you want to fly into the pavilion, don’t you have to step on the wall, no matter how good your fighter is?”

“yes.”

“When you step on the wall, shouldn’t you radiate energy from the soles of your feet?”

“Usually, you have to use the inner energy from Yongcheon-hyeol (涌泉穴).”

“Then can the wall be unharmed?”

Pyung-won seemed to have noticed what Yeon Woo-hyuk was talking about. He gave up his troublesome attitude and threw a slightly interested gaze.

“No!”

“I get it!”

Oh Fodu intervened involuntarily. Oh Po-du, who intervened late, was embarrassed and apologized to Pyeong-won. Pyeongilwon waved his hand as if to say not to worry.

“yes. That’s right. Oh Podu-nim already knows everything.”

“???”

Oh Po-du was taken aback by Yeon Woo-hyuk’s sudden words.

I don’t even know what happened yet, but I suddenly wanted to hear what this Pokkeok guy was talking about.

“However, Podu-nim gave me a chance. I will do my best to explain.”

A gentle smile crept across Podu’s lips. It was a smile filled with a sense of satisfaction that he had chosen the right subordinate.

“No matter how good your gun is, if you want to kick and fly over a wall, you have to have a broken mark on it. But are there any signs of that?”

Podudeul and Pokkeats who were seated, as well as the red-faced Jeongil, rushed to the wall.

When Yeon Woo-hyuk saw that, he suddenly felt anxious.

What if someone bumped into a wall without Yeon Woo-hyuk knowing? What if flying beasts came and went?

Right at that moment, Yeon Woo-hyuk felt a slight headache. At the same time, the top of the wall came into view clearly in front of my eyes.

Despite looking at it from afar, information came pouring in as if they were observing it closely with their faces up close. Yeon Woo-hyuk let out a rough breath and raised his head.

‘What is this!?’

“doesn’t exist! There are no traces!”

“Look again!”

“Yeah, but…”

“All right. stop it.”

Pyeongyuwon stopped Sapodu’s madness.

I wanted to catch the culprit, not to frame innocent people.

“Let’s keep listening. I understand you didn’t jump over the wall. But why does that mean that the general is the culprit?”

Yeon Woo-hyuk was confused, but came to his senses at the steely voice. Now was not the time to relax.

“…Let me explain. Everyone, have you checked the footprints of the elder Jangju leading to the pavilion?”

All eyes turned to the footprints.

Yeon Woo-hyuk tried to remember the original width and depth of the footprints. At that moment, the headache I had just felt returned, and the width and depth of the footprints entered my mind.

“Elder Zhuangzhu’s shoes are a little over eight inches tall. But that footprint is more than nine inches, even if you look lightly. Also, the old man’s body was not very fat. But that footprint is nearly three inches deep. What would that mean?”

“Has Zhuang Zhu mastered the Chunchu Gong?”

Jeongil muttered involuntarily. Pyong-won annoyedly glared at the first of the red-faced three-gu. Jeong-il lost his momentum and looked at him.

“Someone has once again walked in the footsteps of Zhuang Zhu!”

Pyeongyuwon raised his voice for the first time today.

Woohyuk Yeon nodded.

“That’s right.”

The truth was as follows.

The governor, who had worked at the manor for a long time, was dissatisfied with the treatment of Zhang Zhu and had a murderous intent.

If only the lord died, the various properties of the jangwon could be taken care of like a governor kneading rice cakes…

Of course, killing a superior by a subordinate would be punished by the death penalty. The commander-in-chief prepared and prepared for a long time.

Fortunately, the position of commander-in-chief was an easy position for Jangju. In addition, Zhuangzhu had a violent temper, and when he stayed in the pavilion, even the servants did not come without a special call.

Embracing a sharpened dagger, follow the footsteps of Zhuang Zhu to the pavilion, boldly, and meekly!

Yeon Woo-hyuk pretended to stab Jang-joo in the back. The commander’s face had turned blue and then turned purple. The person in the seat looked at Yeon Woo-hyuk’s mouth as if possessed.

“This is how it happened.”

“What crap! This is bullsh*t!!! Why would I kill you?!”

The first time I pointed out the commander-in-chief, I calmly stayed still, but this time the commander-in-chief also shouted desperately. His voice was several times more desperate than that of Sa Podu earlier.

“I killed the old man because of the length of his footsteps!? This is nonsense!”

“You will know when you put your foot on it. There won’t be a footstep like that in this manor, except for the general.”

“What crap! What does that exuberant bastard know!”

Pyung-won looked at Yeon Woo-hyuk with interest.

The talent of this exuberant was truly astonishing.

It wasn’t just that his head was extraordinary, he seemed to have some kind of magical power.

If not, how did the just-arrived Puffa check the top of the wall and measure the width and depth of the footprints he left on the soil?

Besides, among the workers in this manor, the only one who gets hit is the general. It was as if he had already taken a look.

Some kind of immortal called the ghosts around here and explained as if they had heard what had happened…

Even if they left it alone, people already believed in Yeon Woo-hyuk’s words, but Yeon Woo-hyuk opened his mouth again, perhaps wanting to put a wedge in.

“Then I will guess one thing.”

“!”

Yeon Woo-hyuk did not ask the general. He looked at the servants and asked.

“Didn’t the commander-in-chief check the teacup differently than usual on the day that Elder Zhangju died?”

“…Huh! Right, right! that’s right! I was scolded to check the tea utensils carefully…”

“Yo cheerful bastard. It’s really amazing! Did you even have eyes running on the back of your head!?”

Jungil shouted loudly. Even just listening to it from the side, it was so amazing that I couldn’t control my body.

“Elder Jangju must have had a habit of bringing tea directly to the pavilion.”

“you’re right!”

“The commander-in-chief smeared the dream marriage pill inside pretending to check the teacup. If you apply it like this, there will be no problem with the remaining tea water.”

“You look like a meaty bastard!”

Jeongil glared at the commander-in-chief and shouted. I usually called Jeong-il and his brothers “Red-faced Three-Gu”, but compared to the general who stabbed his master to death with a good-looking face, the three brothers were the true gentlemen of Jeongin.

“Dead!”

“omg!”

Jeong-il hurriedly reached for his weapon, but it was not Jeong-il that the commander-in-chief was aiming for.

What the commander-in-chief was aiming for was a cheeky, cheerful guy who ruined his grand plans and life.

‘You’ve learned martial arts!’

No matter how much Zhuangzhu was non-resistance, he said he killed it cleanly, but he had learned martial arts. Yeon Woo-hyuk lamented the fact that it did not come out originally.

A dagger protruded from the commander’s chest and ferociously aimed at the blow.

In the midst of this, the same headache came over me.

It came into my head that the commander-in-chief stepped on his feet and moved and stretched his not so many skills. It came to my mind that the dagger followed Turo and aimed at Yeon Woo-hyuk’s leash.

…and the sword of Dampoong-ho, the Samjeolgae, aimed at both arms of the commander-in-chief and flew into my head.

I knew it first, but Yeon Woo-hyuk’s body was dull and slow unlike his head. While unable to evade or respond, the general’s dagger moved forward…

Dampoongho’s sword blew off the commander’s arms.

“Quaaagh!”

With a terrifying scream, the gunman rolled over. Dam Poong-ho grabbed the commander and stopped the bleeding with point blood, then looked at Yeon Woo-hyeok and said.

“…I will not forget this favor.”

“Forget, you can forget!”

Dampung Lake (1)

Yeon Woo-hyeok said it, but Dam Poong-ho ignored it. He put the sword into the scabbard and backed away as if nothing had happened.

Pyong-won approached Dam Poong-ho and said calmly, as if he couldn’t even see the fallen commander.

“I apologize for the rudeness. You are in debt.”

“I don’t care.”

The rude three-year-old’s attitude made her red-faced, but Pyung-won was still calm.

“Even if you don’t care, debt is debt. remember it If you have something to write about someday, come to me.”

Pyung-won, who finished speaking, looked at Yeon Woo-hyuk. Yeon Woo-hyuk felt a little nervous. The person who treated the people here like rolling stones showed interest, so I was more nervous than proud.

“Did you say exhilarating?”

“…yes!”

“Your psychic power is pretty good. Thanks to that, I was able to avoid cutting innocent soldiers. I will remember that name.”

“It is truly an honor that Daehyeop-nim says so!”

When Yeon Woo-hyuk was nervous, Oh Po-du slaps his back and shouted instead.

“In fact, even the judge was worried. I was wondering if this corrupt guy could become a good Poke. However, since Daehyeop said this, I, who introduced him, was no longer ashamed. Kite exhilaration will also be an honor. How many exhilarating moments would the Iron Heart Iron Sword Daehyeop remember your name? The worries of the judge must have disappeared as if they were washed away!”

“okay. Let’s talk to the judge.”

Pyung-won understood the inner meaning of Oh Po-du’s words.

It was evident that the newcomer, Puffae, was receiving very suspicious glances, as he mentioned the judge twice.

Chokseok Bongjeong (矗石逢釘), no matter where they are, those who have excellent talent and stick out pointily are bound to get hit.

It wasn’t difficult to throw a few words of praise at the judge considering the performance he showed in this job.

“egg plant.”

Pyung-won took Jeong-il and left the manor as if nothing had happened. Red-faced Samgu asked Yeon Woo-hyeok if he could read the hand of the fighting player, but after seeing Pyeong-won’s notice, he hurriedly followed.

“Pyeong, pyeong great agreement! Great deal!”

Only then did Sa Fodu belatedly come to his senses and called the Pyongyo staff.

It would be better if I scolded him and left, but leaving without saying anything made me even more chilly.

“Wait a minute! I was fooled too…”

Pyeongyuwon sat quietly and looked at Podu. It was Sa Podu with snake-like eyes, but when he met Pyung-won’s eyes, it felt like his heart sank.

Sa Fodu stood aside silently without saying anything.

Seeing this, Podu Oh chuckled and patted Yeon Woo-hyuk on the shoulder.

“I wish you well in the future. Kite exhilaration.”

* * *

Originally, solving the case gave only spirit and fame, but the reality was different.

When Porque solved the case, he reported it to the judge and received confirmation.

Occasionally, I received silver (silver pieces) as a reward, but that was really rare and rare. The judge was a stingy person, so…

“So don’t expect too much from this reward. There is no way to come out next time.”

“yes.”

Yeon Woo-hyuk put a piece of silver in his front pouch and nodded.

It was a very rare and rare event, but the judge gave each of them a piece of silver as a reward.

At the same time, he spit and praised the talent of the newcomer Pokke and Yeon Woo-hyuk. Judging by the fact that the iron-hearted sword’s nickname was included five times in the compliment, it seemed that Pyeongilwon had noticed quite a bit.

“Exhilaration is a job that must be earned honestly.”

Oh Fodu was in a very good mood.

It was natural.

The cheeky Sa Podu was disgraced and blushed, and since I had risen as much as I could under the judge’s congratulations, other Podus in the vicinity couldn’t help but notice Oh Podu.

As such, Podu Oh was trying to explain to Yeon Woo-hyeok about ‘how to live a happy life’.

Originally, the new Pokewa had to learn the job while catering to the other Pokewas, but this Yeon Woo-hyuk deserved to be taught directly.

“Are you being honest?”

“okay. Sometimes people with a lump of liver sticking out of their stomach forget their duty and get seriously injured.”

Pouches were more often executed when their crimes were discovered than they were injured by criminals.

There were so many things to keep an eye on compared to the receiving hermit.

“Honesty. So, if you want to live long, you have to live remembering honesty. I am saying that you should only get it from the three people, whether you are an iron coin or a hermit.”
