How To Live as a Civil Servant in Murim

The famous Great Master Hongmok was dressed frugally, and the size of the temple he stayed in was not too large, but the size of the group seemed to be considerably larger than expected.

It was clear that he was never a clean person, from the people who carried the money dedicated to the temple to the windbreakers who spread rumors.

Sergeant Huh murmured.

“I think we can just catch him and interrogate him…”

At this point, it seemed that there was only a difference between a pseudonym related to blood ties or a pseudonym not related to blood ties. And even if it’s the latter, it won’t be too unfair.

“That, Professor Jeong, who entrusted me with the job, did that. No matter how suspicious they look, they don’t know what the officials will say if they drag such a monk away without evidence.”

“It’s not like that.”

“If you’re an ignorant alumnus, you might not know, but the golden chair is different…”

“……”

“……”

The eunuchs looked at the spy in amazement. The spy realized it belatedly and knelt down.

“Sal, please save me! That’s not what I said!”

“hmm. You’re so lucky to be alive. So the evidence is in that carriage?”

“Yes… Lieutenant Jeong said that if you search the ledger, you will find out which forces are supporting you… but it will probably be difficult.”

“Why?”

“I heard what Jongnam said, but it seems to be coded.”

“Anyway, you use your hair for nothing.”

Jungkook Huh murmured as if he was annoyed.

I could have gone to a smart Confucian or Confucian scholar nearby and entrusted him with the work, but it bothered me that time was wasted.

“I. Middle-aged adults.”

“Why but?”

“A while ago, I checked the ledger inside the wagon with my supernatural power…”

“What is the password?”

“I solved that too.”

There was a spiritual eye anyway, but the password didn’t mean much.

While Jungkwan Heo marveled, the captured soldier looked at Yeon Woo-hyeok in amazement.

What the hell is this guy doing??

* * *

When the situation was roughly settled, Joong-gwan Heo revealed his identity to the military men of the Jong-Nam sect after receiving permission from the state public.

“Actually, we are alumni soldiers. Ambassador Hongmok was suspicious and was investigating. Now help us.”

“……”

“……”

The Jong-Nam faction fighters were shocked as if the sky was collapsing, but Heo Jung-gwan did not care and urged them on. It was a busy road to go.

Jang Deung-won asked with a blank face.

“Where are you going…?”

“I’m going to the Yellow Hand. He helped Ambassador Hongmok with his work.”

“Hwangsoojang!”

Jang Deung-won was surprised.

Somewhere suspicious, I thought it was a manor built by a bunch of people from Sapa, but it was connected with the ambassador Hongmok!

“They… how did you know that?”

“I read the ledger you have.”

“Eh, how and when? And the password…”

At that time, Gong Ju, who was in the kiln, called for Heo Jung-gwan. Before leaving, Joong-Gwan Huh motioned for Yeon Woo-Hyuk to come.

“ruler. That friend has done everything, so ask yourself.”

“…?!”

Alumni, trustworthy friends of the people (5)

“What did you call for?”

Jungkwan Heo stood in front of the palanquin and asked, bowing politely. From behind, I could see Jang Deung-won annoying Jin Chung-bido by asking all sorts of questions.

“I’d better call the soldiers.”

“!”

When he was told that he would call the generals and soldiers of the nearby Weisso (衛所) and have them stand by, Junggwan Heo showed a look of surprise.

Of course, it was much easier to use soldiers. It is said that the alumni eunuchs are excellent at martial arts, but they were originally people who preferred to have their subordinates do them rather than to fight. Even if only 1,000 soldiers were mobilized, quite a few small and medium-sized factions would not dare to deal with them.

However, there is no such thing as a strategy that only benefits the strong. There was a reason why the state public hadn’t called in soldiers until now.

“Are you okay? The high-ranking officials…”

Officials hated classmates as much as they feared them. Naturally, he did not hesitate to wield his sword when the opportunity to strike back came.

Later, if Jeong Cheon-ho, who is in charge of the guard post, reports, he will have to explain why he mobilized soldiers, and he will be annoyed that the public has called soldiers on their own.

It was an unexpected choice as it was cut cleanly to avoid being caught in such a way due to the public nature of the state.

“Since you have as many certificates as I do, the explanation should be sufficient.”

“That’s true, but I wonder if he was bothered by the confrontation…”

“If there is an easy road, sometimes you want to go that route. Also, no matter how well you learn martial arts, wouldn’t it be harsh if you summoned a judge and made him fight in front of you? put the soldiers on standby I have to let the soldiers fight.”

“I am impressed, Public!”

Heo Jung-gwan was greatly impressed by the mindset of his superior.

The appearance of caring for young and outstanding talent was indeed the same as the country’s red suit.

Moreover, seeing the prestige of an alumnus who boldly commanded close to a thousand soldiers, the young judge would feel once again that the connections he had chosen were really great.

“If you see the soldiers, Jin Chung-bido will also admire the alumni’s power, and feel that the way they solve problems is different from the Geumuiwi!”

“…Huh Sergeant, you’ve become quick-witted…”

“what did you say?”

“no. It is nothing. Then let’s go to the stomach first.”

* * *

Gong Joo did not go to Wiso, even taking the soldiers of the Chong Nam faction with him. It was not a very good move to take the Murim people to the guard post after finding out everything to find out.

So Jung-gwan Heo sent Jong-nam’s warriors to Hwangsujang first.

– Got it? never go in first. If you go in first, you’ll think you know your classmate’s name like an old sandal.

– No, don’t worry. Great man Heo helped me a lot, how can I act on my own?

-I believe in you guys! But don’t you know the Murim people well? Even if you see innocent people dying in the death pit, don’t go in. Don’t go in even if the sky collapses. Got it?

-…yes.

The conversation between Jang Deung-won and Heo Jung-gwan was quite impressive, so Yeon Woo-hyeok asked in a puzzled way.

“Did you have a reason to say that to the blue fire sword?”

From Yeon Woo-hyuk’s point of view, Jang Deung-won was not a person to enter on his own. With an honest and stubborn personality, if you come from the old school, you won’t easily break your promise.

If innocent people die in the Hwangsujang, I think I’ll just live with a grudge…

“You have to say this much to the Murim people to understand. Since I said this, I won’t go in first.”

“But if that’s why you can’t get in when you’re supposed to…”

“No way!”

Heo Joong-gwan smiled and answered firmly.

“If you are a Moorim person, and if you are a soldier of Jongnam, you will go in on your own if you really want to do it. Then he will offer his own head.”

“Ah, indeed. I learned one.”

“When dealing with the Murim people, you always have to speak louder. And don’t worry too much. Jongnam’s warriors aren’t that stupid, and the enemies probably don’t know the situation yet. There is not enough time.”

Seeing Cheonhoso in the distance, Heo Joong-gwan pointed with his hand and asked. Just in time, the soldiers were engrossed in training, fist bumping over the wooden fence.

“Jin Chungbi, have you ever worked with soldiers?”

“How am I going to give instructions to the soldiers?”

He wasn’t a military officer, and he wasn’t even a high official, so he had nothing to do with soldiers. Heo Joong-gwan nodded and said.

“Originally, that would never happen. But when you work at an alumni, you sometimes have to hire soldiers. That’s more fun than you think. Some of the eunuchs volunteered on purpose.”

Being able to move a thousand people with one finger was a more intense pleasure than I thought. It was not for nothing that the officials could not let go of power and clung to it until they died.

No matter how eunuchs were, there were not many things to directly enjoy the pleasure of power.

“Is that so?”

Yeon Woo-hyuk thought so and passed it on. Heo asked, a little taken aback.

“Aren’t you very interested?”

“What do you mean?”

“As for commanding soldiers.”

“I don’t have the confidence to give you instructions, but…”

“It is not difficult at all. don’t think hard It’s not like I’m making some complicated arithmetic, just giving orders to go somewhere and do something is enough. Longevity will do the details anyway!”

‘Can I do this?’

Yeon Woo-hyuk remembered the last time the head of the branch rented a military boat and played luxuriously on the river.

I don’t think it’s that different from the fact that the eunuchs of my alumni enjoy having fun commanding soldiers…

“I am really fine.”

“hahahaha. Experience may change your mind.”

“Rather than that, how can you borrow soldiers so easily? I thought there would be a more complex procedure.”

“Originally, you should send a message to the commander and ask for permission. But classmates are a little different. You can borrow it as long as you have a good cause.”

Heo Jung-gwan was proud of the idea that he could soon show the young judge the power of an alumni.

Unusually, this judge was not as greedy for power as he was not greedy for wealth, so it was not easy to make people admire him. I brought it at best, but it was really disappointing.

* * *

“No, no!”

“……”

“……”

Heo Joong-gwan was embarrassed for a long time. The general in charge of the Cheonhoso, Jeong Cheonho (正千戶), firmly refused.

“Am I deaf? Look. Ambassador Hongmok must have heard it too. It’s certain that at least a few of the black swordsmen are supporting us. We’ll have to check to see if there’s a cult involved or not, but… if it’s something like this, it’s not against the custom to hire soldiers in a hurry. But are you saying you can’t do it now?”

“I… You have to follow proper procedures.”

“It’s the right procedure. What are you talking about? Can’t you send a message to the commander now to get permission? It will take more than 15 days?”

“……”

Jeong Chun-ho did not answer. But anyone could tell that the silence was positive.

Heo’s face hardened. It wasn’t because the longevity in front of him was being arrogant. Behind the scenes, the state public began to breathe life.

“bloke…! It seems that you are in collusion with a cult.”

“Oh, no. what…!”

Jeong Chun-ho looked shocked as if he realized that the alumni’s eunuchs might use force.

No matter how great the alumni’s prestige is, I never thought they would try to cut the longevity inside Cheonhoso!

“Hey, you can’t do this here…”

“Tsk tsk. There is a certain degree of arrogance.”

Jungkwan Heo clicked his tongue as if feeling sorry for him.

Even if you touch the state public yeokrin, you touch it like this. It would not normally be a loss of face in front of a young judge.

“Goodbye…”

“I knew!”

“?”

Heo Jung-gwan and Ju Gong-gong, as well as the eunuchs who were trying to extract memorization, looked at Yeon Woo-hyuk.

“What did you know?”

“Why is he not willing to release his soldiers?”

“…Is there a reason for that too?”

Heo Joong-gwan was taken aback by the unexpected reaction and put on a puzzled expression.

Wasn’t it just that Jeong Cheon-ho didn’t understand the subject and misunderstood that he was a general?

“Every strange thing has a reason. state public. Didn’t the public feel it too?”

“Surely so.”

Joo Gong, who was about to kill Jeong Cheon-ho and start, put down the memorization and fell into thought.

Obviously, he was so focused on things related to Hongmok that he didn’t notice it, but this Jung Chun-ho’s reaction couldn’t be explained simply by being stupid.

Putting on an expression of interest behind the mask, Gong Joo asked.

“Then what is the story behind this?”
