How To Live as a Civil Servant in Murim

“ It’s not too late! These maggots. for a moment. You guys…”

“My name is Yeon Woo-hyuk! I came here because I wanted to help the old judge with his work.”

Judge Meng’s face softened at the good flattery.

I was ashamed of him for not paying bribes and being seen well by the head of the branch and becoming a podu, but looking at it like this, he was quite observant.

If you behave well…

“Old man! I dare to say something!”

“!!!”

The cheerleaders were astonished. Judge Maeng also showed anger on his broad face.

I dared to take a good look at you, but you climbed up?

“You dare…”

“If it’s worthless, you can get in trouble! Please let me just say one word!”

“Ugh, uhm.”

Despite the pressure, young Fodu’s momentum did not break. Judge Maeng became curious even in the midst of his displeasure.

“…What? tell me.”

“I’m sorry, but it’s a story that others shouldn’t hear. Close your ears…”

The cheerleaders closed their eyes tightly.

He had a hunch what the fate of that Podu would be. How dare you flirt like that in front of a bad-tempered judge.

Unsurprisingly, Judge Maeng’s complexion changed after hearing the story.

“Free that old man!!”

“…???”

Meng Judge’s Mansion (1)

The four players were dumbfounded by the unexpected story and couldn’t move right away.

Judge Maeng then exclaimed nervously.

“You maggots! Didn’t you hear what I said! When did I ask you to catch me in the first place! I told you to check your work!”

“…?!!!”

‘what?’

‘Are you possessed by a ghost?’

From the point of view of the cheerleaders, it was the ghost’s duty to weep.

That snarky, ill-tempered judge didn’t care about his face and reversed his words.

I’ve heard rumors that young Fodu has a ghost, but I don’t think it’s really…

Looking at the hurriedly moving exorcists, Judge Maeng whispered to Yeon Woo-hyuk, who was still standing next to him.

“Is what you just said really true?”

“How safe would you lie? I will hang myself.”

“joy. Is your neck worth it? But well done. It is quite useful.”

Judge Maeng decided to believe what Yeon Woo-hyuk said.

– The old judge. Old Kang worked at Sichuan Tangmen when he was young, and I am very close with him! I know that there are several people in Hankyung, but you should think about the face of those ruffians…

Certainly, looking at the blacksmith’s outstanding skills, it seemed plausible that he had a relationship with Tang.

There were still several warriors from the Tang Dynasty in Hankyung, but when I thought about their cheeky and rude behavior, there was nothing good about disturbing the planting.

‘I’m sure the guy whose head is spinning. It’s quite admirable.’

To think that when he couldn’t do what the other exorcists and podoos were telling him to do, he noticed it in advance and confessed it to himself.

He was a rather peculiar fellow. Judge Maeng decided to forget that Yeon Woo-hyeok did not pay the bribe.

bang!

At that moment, the thick door of the hyeonggwan was blown off, and a relatively young, middle-aged Murim man entered.

His eyes and fingernails gleamed with an eerie blue-green light, and his right arm was exceptionally long and thick compared to his left. Yeon Woo-hyuk was able to intuit that his opponent was much more advanced than he was.

“What, what, what are you doing?!”

Po-kwae next to the door exclaimed in fright.

Here, Hyeonggwan was the place where the judges stayed and other officials of the government office stayed nearby. Even the political party where the elders of the branch, which symbolizes this Hankyung, conducts public affairs was not far away.

In a word, it was a place where it was difficult to survive if one went on a rampage.

But there are people who break down the door and enter this place. They never imagined that such a guy would exist.

“You know where you are right now…!”

No matter what the cheerleaders were talking about, the middle-aged Moorim didn’t care. Ignoring it like a pebble on the side of the road, I kicked off and flew into the air.

In the blink of an eye, the Murim people were standing in front of the judge. The Murimin glared at Judge Maeng and asked.

“Are you Mengga, who is said to be the judge here?”

“That… Persimmon… Who are you?”

Judge Maeng, who was about to shout, “Who dare you?” changed his words, feeling his heart shrink from the eyes of his opponent.

“There seems to be a misunderstanding…”

slam!

The Murim people mercilessly slapped the judge’s broad face. Judge Meng flew aside.

“Oops!”

“Hey, you old man of the blind family! Who are you, drag the old man away! Even if you ignore the face of this party, there is a fountain!”

‘Sachetangdangmun!!’

Only then did Yeon Woo-hyuk know the identity of the opponent.

Seeing how old he was, it was clear that he was a soldier from the Sichuan Dangmun, whose distribution was higher than that of the Tang age.

Surprisingly, what he said was true.

The other warriors of Tang Wen were more ferocious and violent than Tang Ling.

No matter how close someone is, it’s like that. Breaking down the door of the hyeonggwan in broad daylight?

Dang Deng lifted the fallen judge up and hit him on the cheek one more time. The judge groaned and screamed.

Although he did not hit with all his strength, it was extremely painful for the untrained judge. Besides, it was embarrassing.

“Where is your brother? uh? Call me now! I will ask myself if it is acceptable to disregard my brother’s face like this!”

“Han, Han hyung, are you referring to the elders of the branch…?”

Even in the midst of the pain, the judge was staggeringly understanding.

This crazy Dangmun soldier didn’t just do something. I did it because I knew I could do it.

If you were close enough to be friendly with the elders of the branch, you couldn’t say anything even if the judge’s cheek was raised dozens of times.

“Yes, this baby!”

While talking, Dang Deng must have gotten more angry, and he spat out abusive language and hit the judge’s nose with his forehead. The judge let out a scream of pain that was incomparable to what he had seen earlier.

“Your brother can’t do this to me! call me I mean, call me!”

“I was wrong, Grand Duke! I was wrong! I dare not meet you…”

“Forgive me. Great deal! There was a misunderstanding!”

“?”

Dang Deng saw Po Du suddenly intervening and was about to vent his anger, but hesitated.

“for a moment. Are you Yeon Woo-hyuk by any chance?”

“you’re right.”

“ah! I heard your story. You found Elder Kang?”

Yeon Woo-hyuk let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it seemed that Dangryeong had spoken to this crazy warrior.

“Good job. good job! I’ve never seen a podoe in my life. If only there were Fodus like you…”

“Great bargain. The old judge told me to immediately realize my mistake and set it free. Trust me!”

“Is that true?”

Dang Deng put on an expression contemplating whether to stop his anger after meeting the wonderful Podu, or whether he would just let his anger out.

Fortunately, there was someone with a stronger influence than Yeon Woo-hyuk in this place.

Old Man Kang watched as the judges hit him several times, but when it came to Yeon Woo-hyuk’s job, he decided to intervene.

“you’re right. please forgive me great deal.”

“No, old man! Don’t do this!”

Even old Kang came forward, and Tang Deng quickly threw the judge aside. Judge Maeng hurriedly crawled behind Yeon Woo-hyuk and ran away.

“I will stop hitting you. Dude, you’ve learned enough lessons. So don’t do that to the elderly either. The grace you gave me…”

Judge Maeng whispered to Yeon Woo-hyuk.

“Do you know that crazy bastard?”

“I do not know. The story of rescuing the old man seems to have reached his ears. Be more careful than that! Do not the Murim people even hear the sound of a needle dropping?”

“That… that’s right. Don’t go anywhere, stay in front of me! You must protect me. My, I will definitely repay you today.”

Like a child, Judge Maeng grabbed Yeon Woo-hyeok by the hem of his clothes and whispered. The dangdeung was quite scary.

“I’m sorry about that.”

After talking with Old Man Kang, Dang Deng apologized roughly.

At that apology, Judge Maeng felt that his five organs were twisted. I’d rather not apologize, but it was even more humiliating to do it that way.

“Ah… no. I was wrong.”

“I heard that the elders kept asking me to make something. right? Let’s see if we can hear it. Why do you keep asking me to make something like that? Are you trying to steal something?”

“……”

Chewing on the humiliation, Judge Maeng slowly explained behind Yeon Woo-hyuk.

“…It’s because youkai keep appearing in the house.”

“what? monster?”

“Don’t be too much.”

Old Man Kang, who was worse than him, stepped forward and stopped him. It was really pitiful to see the person who had let the judge be beaten earlier.

Judge Maeng said:

Sometime in the middle of the night at Judge Maeng’s mansion in Hankyung, a monster appeared and began to spit out grotesque sounds.

-You mangwan duck, Mengga, return the wealth you swallowed to the people. Otherwise, this old man will devour you!

When the servants, frightened by the sight of the monster burning like flames, ran to it, the monster would disappear into the darkness in an instant.

It took a day or two to hold out with the lights on all over the house, and if I relaxed a bit, the monster would appear again, spit out grotesque noises at the mansion, and then disappeared.

Even paying a lot of money and hiring an escort didn’t help. Rather, the escorts were only toyed with.

“It’s easy.”

As soon as he heard it, Dangdeung opened his mouth as if he knew. Not only Yeon Woo-hyeok, but also the other Pokes, were surprised to see that and looked at Dangdeung.

Did he, like an experienced soldier of the Tang Dynasty, realize what kind of monster this was?

“Shouldn’t we return the wealth we swallowed to the people?”

“……”

“……”

Judge Maeng’s face turned red. The already messed up face got messed up even more. Yeon Woo-hyuk whispered to the judge.

“You have to be patient.”

“Al… I know.”

Knock!

Judge Maeng gritted his teeth and endured.

“You mustn’t listen to that monster’s nonsense. I have never secretly raked in riches.”

“under!”

Dangdeung laughed openly. Some of the cheerleaders made faces of delight at the sight. Most of the Murim people are savages who don’t care about the law, but sometimes it’s good.

How much longer will that greedy judge be disgraced?

“so? What does it have to do with the youkai and the old man?”

“Youkai are weak against yang qi, so I tried to make a device that shoots firecrackers and place them in the mansion.”

‘Is this an effective method?’

Yeon Woo-hyeok was puzzled, but nodded, saying that even other fun and party methods were quite plausible.

“It might be worth a try.”

“Old Judge. I really committed a mortal sin because I was late. It’s just that the old man’s body has become dull and weak because the gang of iron galls kidnapped this old man, so please forgive me…”

“Oops, no. no!”

When Dang Deng opened his eyes, Judge Meng hurriedly replied.

“I will make the goods as soon as possible.”

“You can do it slowly. That youkai, in fact, it wasn’t even that uncomfortable!”

He said that, but Yeon Woo-hyeok could tell that the judge’s condition was quite lacking in sleep.

When I saw with my spiritual eyes, I was full of all sorts of tiredness.
