Chapter 17 Whistleblower
Upon seeing the Imperial Guard warriors greet Su Mo, Yao Shitou was filled with boundless shock!
Everything makes sense now.

Why did he dare to smash the shoulder of the cheap brother-in-law of the registrar with one punch?

Why would someone be wanted by the entire city and still dare to stroll around Dongshi so brazenly?
This Su Lengzi actually has connections with the Embroidered Uniform Guard!
Moreover, judging from the strongman's tone...

Su Lengzi... no... Su Mo's relationship is that of a Jinyiwei centurion, a sixth-rank official!

In such a vast county as Changping, who would dare to mess with him?
Even if the Embroidered Uniform Guard can't do anything to you for the time being, if you offend them.

But as long as we keep a close eye on you, we'll eventually send you to the execution ground!
Never doubt the competence and methods of the Embroidered Uniform Guard!

I'm good!

Fortunately, I paid Chen Qian three hundred coins.

Otherwise, if they saw Su Mo, they would run to the yamen to report it, which would offend him to death.

Su Mo chuckled inwardly at Yao Shitou's reaction!

Previously, he had always called him "Su Lengzi" or "You little rascal".

Change your tune to Brother Su right now!
Such a knack for changing one's stance according to the wind is something I really need to learn!
The tiger skin of the Imperial Guards is very useful!
Of course, he wouldn't tell Yao Shitou that he had given something to Lin Moyin, and that the strongman suspected that he had a relationship with Lin Moyin, which was why he was deliberately trying to please him.

He looked directly into Yao Shitou's eyes and said earnestly and seriously, "Brother Yao, you can't just say things like that!"

"I am not familiar with the Embroidered Uniform Guard; I have only met them once!"

"He has absolutely no connection whatsoever with Lin Moyin, the centurion!"

"I don't believe you!" Yao Shitou cursed inwardly. "You even called out the name of the centurion, and you still say there's no connection!"

"That Su Lengzi, he's hiding it really well!"

There are two types of Embroidered Uniform Guards.

One is the overt guard, and the other is the covert guard!

Needless to say, Mingwei, like Gao Xin, openly wore the uniforms of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

The secret guards, on the other hand, are much more discreet.

Aside from their direct supervisors, no one knows their true identities!
These secret guards are scattered in every corner of the Great Wu Dynasty!
Street vendors, prostitutes, stewards, servants, and so on could all be secret agents of the Embroidered Uniform Guard!
That Su Lengzi is almost certainly like that!

Yao Shitou had guessed Su Mo's identity.

He certainly didn't dare to say it directly.

Who knows if Su Lengzi will kill him to silence him!
He quickly laughed and said, "I see!"

"Brother Su's connections are truly impressive; he can even deal with the Embroidered Uniform Guard!"

"Ma Da Liuzi is blind to provoke Brother Su, he's probably not going to get away with it!"

Su Mo waved his hand: "Brother Yao is wrong again!"

"A country has its laws, and a family has its rules. If I really commit a crime, even if I know someone from the Embroidered Uniform Guard, it won't make a difference!"

"certainly……"

He then changed the subject: "That scoundrel Zhou Meng humiliated an innocent woman in the street; I was acting out of a sense of justice."

"If the county magistrate knows the truth, he certainly won't punish me."

He paused, then added a special note: "The Third Shift is directly under the county magistrate's command, so don't tell the county magistrate about this, lest it have a bad influence and people say that the county magistrate is showing favoritism."

Yao Shitou nodded his head like a chick pecking at rice!

Su Mo smiled again: "I have something to take care of."

"I am very grateful for Brother Yao's guidance today. I will definitely treat Brother Yao to a drink in the future!"

Yao Shitou quickly said, "Brother, go ahead and do your work, don't worry about me!"

After Su Mo left.

Yao Shitou's eyes lit up instantly.

What a joke!
Can we not tell the county magistrate?
If the county magistrate doesn't say anything, and you don't say anything either, who will know that you were the one who informed on me?

Even menial workers have ambition, you know!

The great-grandmother below must have exerted countless efforts to get herself such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

If you don't know how to handle it.

How will I explain things to my great-grandmother after I die?

Yao Shitou was too lazy to inspect the East Market anymore.

He dashed back towards the government office.

As he ran, he pondered whether the gambling had ended. If not, he would bet another five hundred coins to make up one tael of silver!
Unfortunately, you can only bet one or two ounces at most.

However, one shouldn't be too greedy. Everyone knows that this money came from Chen Qian's pocket!
Yao Shitou hurriedly went back to seize the opportunity.

Outside the city, Chen Bao, the salt smuggler, had returned to Yingjianwu.

First, explain Su Mo's return to the city, and then have someone settle the worried Qian Shi and Widow Qin down.

Before he could even take a sip of tea, Chen Hu rushed in with a look of terror on his face.

Chen Bao's eyelids twitched, and he asked in a deep voice, "Why are you in such a panic?"

"Could it be that the kid got arrested?"

Chen Hu took a few deep breaths to calm himself down before lowering his voice and saying, "He wasn't arrested!"

Chen Bao frowned: "If you weren't arrested, why do you have that expression?"

Chen Hu lowered his voice even further: "I secretly followed him into the city earlier, brother, where do you think he went?"

Chen Bao snorted: "Speak up if you have something to say, stop beating around the bush!"

Chen Hu quickly said, "He actually went to the Embroidered Uniform Guard!"

Chen Baoteng jumped up: "What?! Where...where did he go?"

Chen Hu raised his voice: "The Embroidered Uniform Guard!"

Chen Bao was dumbfounded for a long time before finally uttering a few words: "That kid... what is Su Mo doing at the Embroidered Uniform Guard?"

Chen Hu said with a wry smile, "I don't know either!"

"How could I dare to get closer and take a closer look? What if the Embroidered Uniform Guards discovered me!"

He swallowed hard: "All I know is that when he approached the Jinyiwei post, the guards on duty grabbed him by the neck."

"It seemed like he took something out and handed it to the Imperial Guard on duty."

"Then the Imperial Guards let him go!"

He paused, then said, "I dare not follow any further."

"Thinking that this kid has connections with the Embroidered Uniform Guard, he must be safe, so I came back immediately to tell my elder brother the news."

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something and quickly added, "Brother, we must treat the Qian family and others well, especially Qin... Qin and her daughter!"

"Don't offend anyone!"

Chen Bao's expression became uncertain!

Ultimately, he was just a powerful outlaw.

With his considerable martial arts skills and the support of over a hundred brave and daring men from Yingjianwu, he made a name for himself and earned a living in the surrounding area of ​​Xishan.

But in the eyes of the government and the Embroidered Uniform Guard, what is a mere salt smuggler?

Seeing his elder brother standing there in a daze, Chen Hu couldn't help but ask, "Brother, what's wrong?"

Chen Bao took a deep breath and suddenly asked, "Where is that girl Qianyu?"

Chen Hu was stunned for a moment: "When I returned to the village, I saw her carrying a sword and heading towards Longtan."

"I'm afraid he's going to practice his swordsmanship at the waterfall again."

Chen Bao snorted: "You're always reading those messy martial arts novels!"

"Do you really think that practicing swordsmanship under a waterfall will make you a thousand miles ahead in a day!"

Chen Hu said憨憨地, "Let her be, anyway, we're not expecting her to fight on the front lines!"

In the eyes of the two fighting men, true martial arts skills are all acquired through killing.

There's no way you can improve your skills by practicing under a waterfall for a few days.

Chen Bao said with a dark face, "She's almost twenty years old, and she's always brandishing swords and knives. What kind of behavior is that? Who would want her in the future!"

"We need to find her something to do!"

"Go and call her back, and tell her to take good care of Qin and the others!"

Chen Hu wasn't stupid; he immediately laughed and said, "I'll be right there!"

He knew what his elder brother was planning.

If we can get in touch with the Embroidered Uniform Guard through that kid Su Mo.

Eagle Gorge is not only a dominant force within a hundred miles, but it probably holds a place within a thousand miles as well.

How much smuggled salt must have been sold!
Chen Bao is destined to become the biggest private salt smuggler in Changping County!
