How To Live as a Civil Servant in Murim

“ Yes, yes! All the guilty ones say that. throw up quickly Or if there’s a co-worker who did something suspicious, even him!”

While Oh Po-kwae bullied the servants, Yeon Woo-hyeok asked the commander a few more questions.

“Has anyone else had access to the warehouse?”

“Well, there is no one but me. Originally, even the servants couldn’t approach it. While I was gone, he copied the shape of a key and secretly opened it.”

“Was there really no one else?”

“…?”

The commander-in-chief hesitated.

The opponent was talking as if he were certain.

There’s something the commander-in-chief is missing!

Originally, he should have threatened this arrogant Pokwae, but the commander-in-chief couldn’t.

Maybe it was because I met eyes with Po-Kwae. Strangely, I felt like my heart was being ripped out.

“Um… A few of the vopyos working on the battlefield also had access to the warehouse. I have a silver bullet that needs to be sent out.”

In a battlefield with many treasures to keep, of course there had to be an escort to protect the treasures. It was not unusual for Bo Pyo to carry the hermit directly from the battlefield store.

But in this situation, Bo Pyo is not suspicious?

Oh Poquee asked in bewilderment.

“Did you check those slips?”

“I can’t steal the staff!”

The commander-in-chief exclaimed annoyedly and explained.

Originally, the treasures that brought the hermit out of the warehouse were the first to be suspected. Even the commander-in-chief knew that.

But it was also clear why the commander-in-chief wouldn’t. It was impossible for the treasures to steal the hermit secretly.

“The stamps go in and out of the warehouse and take off all their clothes and go through inspections. I check inside my mouth, inside my ears, even inside my butt. But how did he hide the hermit and come out? It’s far more likely that the servants who worked here all month sneaked into the storeroom than a staff that happened to drop by the storeroom once!”

After hearing the explanation, Oh Pok-kwa shook his head to see if he understood.

Certainly, it was understandable that if you confirmed that much, you wouldn’t doubt the treasure.

Isn’t it more likely that the servants who worked here secretly approached the warehouse rather than the cloths that moved the hermit once?

“The words of the commander-in-chief are correct…”

“no. It must have been one of the treasures that stole the hermit.”

“?!”

“???!”

Both the commander-in-chief and Oh Po-kwae were at a loss for words.

“what?”

“Let me ask you a few more questions. Is there any truth hanging in that warehouse?”

“…That’s right.”

“I’ve heard that some unusual phenomena occur in places where there is a jinbeob. Is it cold inside the warehouse?”

“Right, right. How?”

The general was perplexed.

It is said that it is predictable because it is common to install a kimunjin method in a warehouse where a hermit is stored, but it was not just predictable that the inside of the warehouse was strangely cold.

Didn’t the uninhabited Jegal Sega who installed this Jinshik also apologize for the unexpected result?

“It would be easier to test if I took my clothes off, but I thought it would be like that. Let me ask you a little more. Has anyone entered with a canteen filled with water among the stamps?”

“Canteen…?”

The commander-in-chief concentrated on Yeon Woo-hyuk’s words as if possessed. Come to think of it, there was a guy who went in with a canteen made of gourds on his waist to say he was thirsty.

“Yes, there was!”

“He is the culprit…”

“i get it!”

Oh, Puffy exclaimed.

“Such a sly bastard! You swallowed the hermit with water and hid it in your stomach and brought it out!”

“…If you haven’t mastered the bone ball, it won’t be easy to swallow a hermit the size of a fist.”

“Isn’t it???”

Oh Porque was taken aback when his thoughts went astray. There was no answer other than this.

The commander-in-chief also asked as if he did not understand.

“Why are you saying that Bo-pyo, who went in with the canteen, is the culprit? Could it be that you put the hermit inside it?”

“you’re right.”

“Of course, they check the inside of the water bottle as well. Hold it upside down and shake it a few times. If the hermit had heard it, he would have come out right away.”

“Old Commander. When water freezes, it won’t come out even if you shake it upside down.”

“…!!!!!”

The commander-in-chief was shocked as if he had been hit hard on the back of the head. Yeon Woo-hyuk said calmly as if he had been there.

“If you put water in a cold place, it freezes faster than you think. Probably, as soon as the treasure was inside, he put the hermit in the bottle as much as possible and froze it. The longer you drag, the harder the water will freeze…”

“Well, come to think of it, I think I came out the most behind. That bastard!”

“It won’t be easy for the servants working here to get their hands on the key the old commander has. Even if he did, wouldn’t it be difficult to deceive the eyes of the other servants, approach that warehouse, get the hermit out, hide it, and go outside? I think the staff is much more likely to be the culprit.”

“Now… who the hell are you???”

“This time, it’s an exorcism that has received a new magic shield.”

Yeon Woo-hyuk politely hugged and said.

Jinang Zhugegalgyu (1)

three days later.

Gong came directly to the government office where the Pokkees stayed.

Oh, Pok-Kwae was horrified by the sight. He was so frightened that he threw away the chicken he had been grilling wrapped in mud and lotus leaves in the morning and took refuge in the provincial building.

However, instead of being angry or grabbing him by the collar, Gong came with a smile on his face.

“Thank you. thank you!”

“Did you catch the man who stole the hermit?”

“okay!”

Oh Porque crawled out when things seemed to be going well.

“Old Commander. Are you saying that the stamp guy really stole it?”

“Yes.”

“her!”

Oh Po-kwae looked at Yeon Woo-hyuk as if he had seen a ghost.

I had heard from my uncle that the new Pokke had extraordinary abilities, but hearing it with my ears and seeing it with my own eyes were different.

Seeing it in person was really hard to believe.

‘Do you cast a ghost? Or, by any chance, are you reading my mind?’

“Seniors. I cannot read minds.”

“Huh uh uh uh!”

Oh Pokkeok fell backwards and hurriedly backed away. Yeon Woo-hyuk was embarrassed because the effect was more dramatic than he thought.

“I really can’t read minds.”

“Hey, don’t lie! I heard you have magical powers! You must be peeking into my heart with that supernatural power!”

“I was just guessing. They have supernatural powers, but they can’t read minds that much.”

“Jung, really?”

Oh Pok-kwa shook the dirt off his clothes and stood up.

In the commotion, some of the cheerleaders from other places approached, wondering what was going on.

-What’s going on?

-ah. You know that new guy? They say he really found a hermit.

-You seem to have real powers…

The cheerleaders looked at Yeon Woo-hyuk with eyes mixed with curiosity, awe, and fear.

Supernatural powers were suitable for famous Buddhist monks and Taoists, but not for Bok-kwa running around the streets.

I wanted to ask for a fortune telling, but I was also afraid that I would be punished for being disrespectful to someone with magical powers.

“Thank you very much.”

General Gong was different from the Pokkeats.

As the commander-in-chief wandered around various regions and was well-versed in the world, he did not have as uncertain fears about his magical powers as the exorcists.

Of course, among the people the commander-in-chief saw, there was no one who had as great a magical power as the exhilaration in front of him. To find the person who stole it as if you were looking out over a thousand miles from your seat. Even thinking about it now, it was a feat that gave me goosebumps.

“I secretly, quietly, asked you to search the house of Pyo Pyo. The guy I’m about to fry to death in that oil dug up a hermit deep in the courtyard and buried it. Thank you so much. If it weren’t for you, I would have been suspicious of the poor servants all along.”

“no. I was just lucky.”

Yeon Woo-hyuk’s words were half sincere.

In the first place, the moment I heard the battlefield, the warehouse, the leak of the hermit, and the stamp, I immediately remembered who took it.

It was embarrassing to keep hearing compliments like that when I already knew the answer.

“I want to repay you.”

“!”

Yeon Woo-hyeok was surprised by the commander-in-chief’s words.

Apparently, the other person’s words were unexpected.

‘How should I answer?’

It hasn’t been long since he fell here in Moorim, but Yeon Woo-hyuk was quickly adapting. It was one of them that in this situation, you shouldn’t ask for a price without thinking.

I couldn’t accept it too quickly or ask for too much. It was because he could be stigmatized as a greedy person.

Then, even though he solved the problem at best, he could be called to the hyeongryeong or Podu and punished.

“As a person receiving green pay, I just did the obvious.”

At Yeon Woo-hyuk’s words, the smile on the corners of Gong’s mouth grew even thicker. It was an answer I really liked.

The Pokkeats around here were all like wildcats, so if they found an opening, they would attack it like they were digging up a corpse, but this new Pokkwae was different.

His ability to solve problems and his eyes full of jeonggi (正气) were such a joy, so I felt like I could trust him and entrust him with the work.

“no. I am really grateful.”

“but…”

“It’s not polite to keep refusing when the elder says it. Kite exhilaration!”

Oh Pok-kwa slapped Yeon Woo-hyuk on the back. Yeon Woo-hyuk was grateful to the senior who intervened just in time. At times like this, Oh Pok-kwa was very reassuring.

“okay. Oh Pokke said a good thing.”

“thank you. Elderly. hey. If it’s Juru, it’s definitely a gold jangru. I’ll tell you why later…”

Oh Pok-kwa whispered, but Yeon Woo-hyeok pretended not to hear.

“Old man. If so, could you possibly get a letter of military service?”

“?!”

“!!!!”

After receiving different shocks, General Gong asked with interest.

“Why is the martial law? Buffaloes must have already learned martial arts, right?”

“It’s embarrassing to say, but I still lack a lot in martial arts. I wonder if it would be helpful to get a better book.”

“You are such a good cheerleader! To think that a new extrovert like you has entered this hankyung. It’s not usually a blessing.”

Oh Porque clicked his tongue as if he didn’t understand.

It was enough to go to the prisoner’s house and deliver the order, or catch the prisoner who ran away from time to time.

What is the need for martial arts to rise in such a thing?

It is said that the Murim people practice martial arts by sweating day and night and reducing sleep, but what is left at the end? Most of them were miserably found as dead bodies of Murim, unable to achieve success or earn a fortune.

“Good. Martial arts book… I don’t know much about martial arts, but I’ll try to find the best book I can find.”

“Thanks to the great man!”

“But there is one condition.”

“?”

“Could you come back to the warehouse by any chance?”

* * *

When General Gong spoke up, Yeon Woo-hyeok wondered if the incident had happened again in the warehouse.

‘What if it happened twice in the same warehouse? Was it poisoned?’

But fortunately that wasn’t the case. The reason why General Gong wanted to take Yeon Woo-hyeok back to the warehouse was a little more unexpected.

“That warehouse is very strong and solid. I can guarantee that after watching it for ten years. Except for this one, no new investment came in. But the one downside is, it’s too… cold inside.”

“Old man. I’m neither a guru nor a sorcerer, but…”

warehouse cold.
