What's wrong with me, a powerful minister, supporting a few female officials?

Chapter 108 The Snake Demon's Three-Inch Tongue! Persuading Su Mo (Quick Read)
On that day, Su Mo received a message with the arrowhead broken off, inviting him to meet at midnight.

It was Liu Siyun who shot it.

When Su Mo and the others arrived at midnight, they were somewhat surprised to find that the person who had arrived was none other than the venomous woman, one of the seven major grain merchants.

He thought the other party was trying to bribe him.

Unexpectedly, she came to do business with me!
Su Mo certainly wouldn't easily trust the other party.

With a background in the Embroidered Uniform Guard, it is said that Fu Qianhu's mistress is as venomous as a snake, ruthless and vicious, and will do anything for money!
How could he betray the grain store, betray the deceased Commander Fu, and secretly pledge allegiance to me!

However, Liu Siyun was prepared to gain Su Mo's trust.

It was that three-inch-long, incredibly flexible tongue!
In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Su Mo suffered two consecutive defeats.

This shows just how amazing the talent for food is!

Since she was putting in such a lot of effort, Su Mo decided to trust her for the time being.

After hearing what Liu Siyun had to say, he was secretly taken aback.

My own arrangements were almost entirely guessed by others.

They had already guessed that the grain merchants were planning to use the matter of the Heavenly Mother Cult members to coerce them!
This wicked woman not only had connections within the Embroidered Uniform Guard, but also had many clerks and officials in the government offices who tipped her off!
Neither the arrangements of the government offices nor the Embroidered Uniform Guard could hide them from Liu Siyun.

By analyzing and judging from various clues, a conclusion can be drawn.

His intelligence borders on the supernatural!

No wonder she was able to wield such great power in the Dayou Grain Company, despite being a woman.

Among the seven major grain merchants, Su Zhongyuan was on par with Su's Grain Company.

That being the case.

Su Mo decided to play along, sending Liu Siyun back to gather the other grain merchants and reveal his plan. In the end, with the help of both inside and outside, he set up a near-perfect trap for the grain merchants.

However, it has been more than a month since then.

Upon seeing Liu Siyun's sudden arrival, he asked if she had forgotten her promise.

Su Mo frowned slightly and pointed to the stool opposite her: "Sit down."

"I have not forgotten what I promised you."

Then, his brows furrowed even more: "Although Commander Fu is dead, he has rendered great service and has been commended by the imperial court."

"I just coerced Dayou Grain Store into selling grain at a low price, and now I'm turning to the Fu family to demand your indenture. What are the Fu family supposed to think?"

"At that time, things might not go as planned, and we might even incur more resentment!"

Liu Siyun snorted in dissatisfaction: "That may be true, but shouldn't my lord give me a definite answer?"

She looked at Su Mo with a resentful expression, her beautiful eyes welling up with tears, her voice trembling with emotion: "My lord, once you leave for the capital, I fear you may never return to Changping. How can I be at peace with myself?"

Seeing Liu Siyun with tears in her eyes, looking pitiful.

Even though she knew the other person was faking it, Su Mo's heart still fluttered.

Thirty years old is the stage when a woman is most mature and charming!

Not to mention that mature women are stunningly beautiful, with graceful curves and captivating voluptuousness; what young man could resist them!

Su Mo took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I will keep my word!"

"Within one year, I will help you retrieve your indenture!"

Liu Siyun narrowed her eyes slightly, staring directly at Su Mo, her eyebrows furrowing slightly: "A year?"

"My lord, are you truly not deceiving me?"

Su Mo pondered for a moment, then said slowly, "It is indeed possible that I will not be able to return to Changping after this trip to the capital!"

"You should know that I have devoted my heart and soul to Changping."

"If I were to entrust you with the financial control of this place, would you trust my promise?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Siyun cried out in shock, "My lord, are you going to hand over the wealth and power of this place to me?"

Su Mo nodded: "Changping alone generates tens of thousands of taels of silver annually."

"Unfortunately, I lack a talent like you who is good at management."

As he spoke, Su Mo looked at Liu Siyun with a half-smile: "However, everyone says that you are a viper, and your indenture is in the hands of the Fu family. How can I, an official, trust you?"

Liu Siyun became uncontrollably excited, her voluptuous body trembling!

Once I control Su Mo's finances in Changping, it will be a huge industry with an annual income of tens of thousands of taels!

Su Mo will spare no expense to retrieve his indenture from the Fu family, otherwise he will find it hard to feel at ease!

There's no need to worry about him not keeping his promises.

The question is, how do I gain people's trust?

Same as last time?
How could he persuade Su Mo with his silver tongue?

like……

The persuasiveness was somewhat insufficient.

If he doesn't persuade this ridiculously young flag officer, he might never have another chance to escape the control of the Fu family!

Who could bear to let go of such a stunningly beautiful woman who is skilled at managing her business!

Liu Siyun remained silent for a long time.

Finally, that face, once so alluring and bewitching, became resolute and determined.

He leaned forward and whispered in Su Mo's ear.

Her three-inch tongue, like a nimble snake, darted into Su Mo's ear!

Su Mo's body trembled instantly!
This Liu Siyun is definitely a beautiful snake demon who has been around for a thousand years!

The willow snake demon's voice was somewhat muffled: "To be honest, my lord... I am still a virgin... Today, I will hand myself over to you."

A pair of slender, delicate hands had already disarmed Su Mo!
The three-inch snake teased Su Mo's earlobe, then slithered down his neck and back, launching a sneak attack!
But before the seductive snake demon could carry out her scheme, Su Mo had already grabbed her head with both hands and pulled it to his front!

In any case, Lord Qianhu's aesthetic sense of being petite and delicate has been changed.

It's okay to go through it again!

Once you've done it once, it's very easy to do it again!
……

After a long while, looking at the snake demon who had completely lost the power to resist, an air of arrogance arose spontaneously on the slumped table!

What are these mere snake demons? With pure Yang magic power, they can vanquish evil and slay demons in an instant!

Since the snake demon was trying so hard to convince himself.

Su Mo naturally kept his promise and entrusted the entire business to Liu Sheyao.

The snake demon, having regained its senses, saw the ledger that Su Mo handed over.

Once again, she was so shocked that her eyes widened, and she looked at Su Mo in disbelief!

She had long suspected that Su Mo wielded immense power and controlled vast businesses.

But I never imagined it would be so incredibly big!

Their methods are even more outrageous and terrifying!
Their influence had long since extended to every corner of Changping County, from the county magistrate down to the clerks and ordinary people; their connections were so deep-rooted that they were impossible to eradicate!
Also, there were garrisons, guards, soldiers, clerks, salt smugglers, mountain bandits...

No wonder he dared to guarantee that he would get his indenture back from the Fu family within a year!

He even dared to recruit the rioters who attacked Tieshan County into his ranks!
They have power, money, and connections, and they also have a powerful backer!
Liu Siyun couldn't imagine how far Su Mo could go in the future!
She even suspected that the Fu family would refuse to hand over the indenture when the year was up.

This terrifying man will directly mobilize salt smugglers, bandits, and others to wipe out the entire Fu family!

Seeing Liu Siyun put on a thin veil and immediately switch gears to fully immerse herself in her work, Su Mo couldn't help but sigh, "She really is a talent!"

Su Mo felt it was somewhat risky to hand over the entire business to Liu Siyun.

But no way.

Talented people are rare!

My third uncle is the most reliable, and his political acumen is astounding, but unfortunately he's not good at making a living.

Du Zhongbai was good at devising strategies and connecting with various parties, but he was equally clueless about business.

I won't go into detail about Chen Qianyu, Qin Bier, Chen Bao, and others.

Xue Yishu, who was not yet married, was certainly skilled in poetry, calligraphy, painting, music, chess, and other arts.

In the future, if the wife needs to engage in diplomacy, she will naturally be close to other female relatives of officials and will be of great use.

But 99% of them are also not good at business management.

Let them maintain the status quo, that's fine, but they definitely can't expand.

Su Mo had no choice but to risk taking Liu Siyun in.

With her third uncle watching over her, she wouldn't dare to harbor any disloyal thoughts.

I clearly have a brighter future than the Fu family. The more skilled someone is at business, the better they understand how to make choices!

After the snake demon Liu finished reading the ledger, she roughly understood the situation.

Seeing the alluring silhouette faintly visible beneath the veil, Su Mo couldn't resist pressing him down onto the table again and whipping him forcefully.

Since you're going to capture a demon, then subdue it completely, make it remember you so that it won't betray you in the future!
When the snake demon finally abandoned its armor and fled in disarray, it raised a white flag.

It's already daylight!

Yesterday, my spiritual cultivation greatly increased, and I advanced to the realm of observing the body. I am still full of energy.

Su Mo was too lazy to catch up on sleep, so he picked up Xue Yishu's engagement letter and went to discuss exchanging engagement letters with his third uncle.

Once Xue Shan publicly revealed this matter yesterday, there was no room for maneuver.

If Su Mo still doesn't go to the Xue family to propose marriage.

There is absolutely no other possibility that the two families will become bitter enemies and fight to the death in Changping County!
Such a humiliation is even more serious than losing one's official position!

Because losing one's official position only means losing face.

Being rejected by Su Mo would be a disgrace to the Xue family, the entire Xue clan, and even their in-laws like the Wang family!

In ancient times, people valued face and reputation even more than their own lives!

They lost face and reputation.

How to get promoted? How to make money? How to deal with other prominent families and official households, and form marriage alliances?

Are you suggesting that the descendants of the Xue family should become shameless clerks?
Su Mo was well aware of this.

So, I'm torn!

When you arrive at the Xue family, propose that Xue Yishu become your concubine, so that Xue Shan doesn't beat her out.

Ok……

It's okay that Xue Shan beat me up.

That frail scholar and thin old man, how much strength could they possibly have in their punches? They could stand there and let him hit them without any problem.

I'm afraid it might be Old Wang who makes the move!

never mind!

It's best not to look for your third uncle!

It's good to go to the meeting alone.

It's better for one person to get beaten than for two people to get beaten!
I'm young and strong, so I can escape quickly!
To avoid a real fight breaking out and my third uncle suffering as a result!

As long as Lao Wang still wants to drink Chen's wine and eat Su's food, he is unlikely to be ruthless.

I've already reached the Body Observation Realm and possess a first-grade treasure sword embryo, so what's there to be afraid of!
