How To Live as a Civil Servant in Murim

Instead of being angry, the instructor readily explained.

“Even so, it is the judge’s fault.”

“yes?”

“If the person who handles the detective and civil affairs of the people is greedy, how could a monster appear? How incompetent would he have been at a loss because he couldn’t deal with that one monster that appeared? Either way is the judge’s sin.”

‘There are only crazy bastards in the world!’

Woohyuk Yeon closed his eyes. If you have a sin, you are guilty because you have a sin, and if you do not have a sin, you are guilty because you did not reveal it. It was to the point of missing the brother and sister of the Paeng family in Hebei.

Dang Deng sat with his arms crossed and immersed himself in the countermeasures with Buntaju.

The situation was still fine, but the impression was very suspicious.

The clever Fodu guy is called by the Golden Guard, and the judge suddenly disappears again…

“You must have used the Toryongong when digging up the hermit, right?”

“That’s right. After digging the ground, it will be hard to notice because it is filled with soil.”

“well. There are no absolutes in Gangho. Even if you dig into the ground, someone who notices will come out. Let’s make some fake tracks there. What about the hidden hermit?”

“I haven’t taken it out yet…”

“You’d better take it out and give it to your relatives. If you let them run away at night, they will be hard to catch.”

“You can dig a trap and wait.”

“I will check. It will be hard to trick my attention and ambush them.”

“…a colossus!”

“Don’t look at me like that. Before you pluck out your eyes.”

Dang Deng was disgusted when Bunta Zhu was moved. The moment I hated the most in the yeopgaekhaeng was receiving this kind of look.

“Anyway, I’m worried about that Podu guy…”

“…no, I’m surprised.”

“Why are you surprised? Is it so strange that I was worried?”

I felt sorry for the furious people. It was wrong to touch Dangdeung’s eccentric personality.

However, Dangdeung smiled and said instead of showing more temper.

“He is so talented that it would be a waste to leave him alone. If an ore is rolling on the side of the road, no one will pick it up. Um… Find out more. If he’s trapped, I’ll just bring him out by force.”

“That, that’s…!”

Buntazoo was perplexed.

If the Moorim people robbed an official who was locked up by force, the official’s future path would be twisted at that moment. Even if you saved it, you could be cursed at.

However, the dangdeung was dull.

“The moment you are locked up, your life is at risk. Who cares about Fodu’s life? Better to get it and throw it into Sichuan. If you change your face and throw a new hopae, no one will know.”

“But it’s a nangjungjichu…”

“That too. You can tell me to live a little more quietly.”

“Bun, Bunta Lord!”

A beggar hurriedly ran up and opened the door. Dang Deng frowned.

“What’s going on?”

“Maeng, Judge Maeng…! They say you got hit!”

“what? why? wherefore?”

“For the crime of disturbing public sentiment by spreading false rumors that a monster appeared…!”

“…???”

Dangdeung and Buntaju sat the beggar down and listened to a detailed explanation.

I heard that this is what happened.

When the lieutenant of the Geumuiui Committee confessed to the head of the branch, “The judge is spreading false rumors in the Hankyung to save his money,” the head of the branch was enraged and called the judge and punished him.

Although he was not dismissed because he did not formally report to the top and imposed punishment, Judge Meng quit his job as a judge for a while and was put on probation.

That arrogant bastard was beaten to the point of bleeding in front of other Hankyung officials, so it must not have been an ordinary disgrace.

“…no, what the hell happened to this?”

“I think I know.”

Seeing Buntaju bewildered, Dangdeung hit the table as if he knew.

“That Fodu played a ghostly trick!”

“What do you mean, Daehyeop?”

“Why did the fine golden guard doubt the judge? It’s clear that Podu was roasted and boiled with his tongue. It’s like a guy who can command a ghost like this!”

Dang Deng was sincerely amazed.

Even though the conspirators and bookkeepers often said that it was a trick to murder, it was child’s play compared to the murder that Podu showed.

How did you wield the rank of the Golden Guard and put a false name on the guy who stole the money?

It was truly a feat that gave goosebumps.

“Ha, but I wonder if it’s possible to cover this upside down…”

“I don’t know. Wasn’t it Podu who found out what you stole in the first place? Since we caught what was stolen, it would have been possible to set the blame on what was stolen. Hello! Sneak into the government office and find out what Fodu is doing. If it’s not trapped, then my guess is correct.”

The beggar nodded and hurriedly ran away, only returning half an hour later.

“Yeon, Yeon Podu left Hankyung with Geumuiwi.”

“also! It is right to boil him.”

“…!!”

Buntaju’s eyes widened and shuddered.

I knew he was a talented Podu, but risking his life for righteousness like this was a different story.

If things had gone a little wrong, it would have been that young Fodu who would have been decapitated by the judge.

‘It’s a knight!’

Buntaju went long in the direction where young Fodu left. Dangdeung tried to scold him for saying what was wrong, but gave up and shook his head.

“Do you know about Ki-nan?”

“It’s not as good as Hankyung, but I heard it’s a fairly prosperous place.”

Following the instructor, Yeon Woo-hyeok answered cautiously.

Instead of taking a grand procession and escort, Geum Ui-wii disguised himself in plain clothes with Yeon Woo-hyuk. It seemed like it hadn’t been done once or twice.

“Yes. There is a silver mine in the west, and at some point, the county lord issued a complaint saying that accidents would happen again and again.”

At that time, going into a mine and digging out minerals was almost a life-threatening task.

It was only natural that there were frequent accidents, as they had to crawl in with a pickaxe and dig out the ground and ceiling with only their senses so that they would not collapse.

“It can be because the work of a mine is so tough. But if the histories who went to find out don’t come back, the story will be different.”

The instructor said seriously.

The sent spies reported that the workers went in and out of the mine seemingly without any problems, but the history that went into it did not return.

Upon receiving this report, the Geumuiwi was suspicious that the hyeongryeong was trying to escape by hiding something.

“What do you think?”

“hmm. I am…”

As Yeon Woo-hyuk was about to answer, another person walked by from a distance. The lieutenant waved his hand warmly.

“Here it is!”

“who are you?”

“Let’s call this bachelor. They will help us with our work.”

Yeon Woo-hyeok was able to quickly identify the identity of the other person with the spiritual eye. A spiritual energy, which is hard to see in other Murim people, swayed around the school.

It was a unique energy that can be seen in those who handle magic.

‘The bachelor who checked the judge’s mansion was this person.’

“You are late.”

“I’m sorry. This is Yeon Podu. He is the one who will help me with this.”

“Hmm. This is him…”

The bachelor looked up and down at Yeon Woo-hyuk, then took out a bronze mirror with a white god and reflected it. It was a technique to understand the opponent’s mind by borrowing the power of the god of the mountains who held ancestral rites in the court.

However, the bronze mirror became silent with a roaring sound instead of grasping the mind. The white god refused to appear. The bachelor was surprised to learn why.

“How much spiritual energy have you accumulated, man?!”

“Since I was young, the top hall has been open…”

Instead of making a long excuse, Yeon Woo-hyuk said with a sad expression. The bachelor was even more surprised by those words.

“Even if the top battle is open, it wouldn’t be strange if she vomited blood and collapsed at this level…”

“Is it that severe?”

“Originally, among the Taoists, those who excel are short-lived. It’s because everyone has their upper level gates open a little bit. But this podo is very wide open. Thanks to that, the spiritual energy has accumulated like a freshman.”

It wasn’t a good meaning that people were building spirits like immortals. The instructor and the academician looked at Yeon Woo-hyeok sadly, as if they were looking at someone who would soon die.

Yeon Woo-hyuk was still fine, but he made a more sorrowful expression to match the atmosphere. There was nothing wrong with looking pitiful wherever he went.

“I heard that you are very talented, but I didn’t expect this to happen… How is the mine going?”

“Since I said that last time, there has been no report. I just told Fodu here. Do you have any guesses?”

“I think the black swordsmen are threatening the county to smuggle silver from the mine.”

“……”

“……”

Silver mine disappearance case (1)

Both the bachelor and the professor were speechless and looked at Yeon Woo-hyuk.

I couldn’t even guess how the hell he came up with such an answer.

The first to come to his senses, the instructor asked his friend.

“Is such a thing possible with supernatural powers?”

“Oh, no… of course not. You know, don’t you?”

Bachelors working at the court or academics working at the Golden Guard did not have absurd illusions or misunderstandings as they had many encounters with psychic powers.

Supernatural power was a limited ability, like magic or martial arts, and the limits were clear.

No matter how psychic he was, how could he find out that someone was smuggling in silver when he hadn’t even entered the village yet?

“I want to hear the reason. Please explain.”

The instructor looked at Yeon Woo-hyuk with a half-doubt.

If he hadn’t known what Podu had done in Hankyung, he might have been angry at him for saying nonsense.

“First of all, the fact that workers come and go without problems means that the mine itself is running fine. But the fact that the history that went inside is not coming back…”

“It must mean that someone is identifying and eliminating outsiders inside the mine. Both I and Bachelor Lee had guessed that much. But the hyeongryeong was threatened? Work in places like this is usually led by the prefecture.”

At the professor’s words, the bachelor also nodded.

Originally, Daehwanguk had a large land mass, and it was not easy to get caught even if the hyeonryeong in a corner acted like a king. Kicking in one’s back pocket with an excuse was something that happened quite often.

“yes. You saw it right.”

Yeon Woo-hyuk said calmly.

Since I hadn’t done it once or twice, I felt like I had dignity in speaking as if I knew everything.

This incident was an incident in which the Sapa Murim people occupied the mine.

The peculiar thing is that he took Hyun-ryeong’s family hostage and threatened him to send a false order.

Originally, I had to check the loopholes in the instructions one by one and check for anything strange, but since I came to the site like this, there was no need for that.

“But there are many ways to make excuses. If it had been done by the prefectural government, it would not have raised a warning just because the accident happened again and again. If an accident happens, wouldn’t it be possible to come and check it out?”

“…!”

“If it were me, I would have made another excuse.”

“Oh, that’s right!”

The bachelor listened to the parts he had missed and was impressed.

I’m sure I heard it and saw it. There was no reason to raise suspicion by giving suspicious excuses. The instructor was also satisfied with the unexpected remark.

“indeed. understood. Is this peculiar commandment a secret word from the prefecture? Wait, aside from the fact that the county is being threatened, how did you guess that the black swordsmen were the culprits?”

“That’s my gut feeling. Aren’t they mostly Murim people who commit such outrageous things in the world?”

Yeon Woo-hyuk replied shamelessly.

You’ll find out if you go and check it anyway, but it’s okay to insist on this much.

“……”

Gyowi was troubled because he didn’t know how much to trust Podu’s intuition for hating the Murim people.

Dong Ja-hong, who has the nickname Okmyeonsalgeom (玉面殺劍), glared coldly at his subordinates and urged them.

“Silver mined should increase or decrease. how are you guys doing? Is your life not worth it?”

“……”
