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

Chapter 30 Tiger Skin
They left the Jinyiwei compound.

Su Mo's expression suddenly turned gloomy.

"You bastard, Lin Moyin!"

"Do you think I'm stupid? Haven't you ever watched a spy movie?"

"These aren't the Imperial Guards; they're clearly using me as bait!"

Su Mo frowned: "Could it be that they suspect I'm a member of the Heavenly Mother Sect?"

As the name suggests, a secret guard is a spy.

How could a spy not be online!

I am just the lowest-ranking strongman.

Surely they wouldn't directly contact Lin Moyin, a sixth-rank centurion?
Furthermore, according to Gao Xin's previous statement, the Embroidered Uniform Guard has its own code of conduct and regulations.

Lin Moyin said she didn't even tell me!
Fuck you!

Nine out of ten suspect they are members of the Heavenly Mother Cult.

No wonder I suddenly asked myself if I was a member of the Heavenly Mother Cult!

Or perhaps, they would use themselves as bait or pawns to lure the members of the Heavenly Mother Cult out!

Su Mo became increasingly frustrated!
He couldn't help but curse under his breath again.

This world is really hard to navigate; there are pitfalls everywhere.

I still need to get promoted, cultivate immortality, and hopefully make some money along the way!

of course!

She used me, but I also used her to get promoted and make money!
People who have value to others are usually not easily discarded.

He wanted to use himself as bait.

I just went along with her and took the opportunity to improve my favorability with her.

Anyway, his nickname is Su Lengzi.

It's reasonable for a simpleton to make a mistake, right?

One day, when I'm riding on her head, she'll know how powerful I am!

Su Mo was quite aware of being a pawn; he immediately picked up his knife and swaggered towards his home!

The tiger skins of the Embroidered Uniform Guards are really useful.

If it weren't inconvenient to change clothes right now.

Let's see how it looks on both of them with the new outfits!
As they passed through the East Market, everyone panicked and dodged to the side.

Su Mo finally felt the prestige of being an official, completely unaware that he had become a plague in the eyes of others, and returned to Ping An Fang with a smug look on his face.

He increasingly felt that the world was like playing an online game.

Equipping high-end new gear will increase attack power and deterrence several times over!

They swaggered back to Ping'anfang Jiazi Lane.

From afar, one could see someone waiting outside; it was Meng Scarface, a white-haired servant under Third Uncle.

I didn't expect him to come too.

Upon seeing Su Mo return, Meng Scarface hurriedly ran over, taking the brocade robe and straight knife Su Mo was carrying while fawningly saying, "Lord Su, you're back..."

As he spoke, his voice abruptly stopped, as if someone had grabbed his throat.

His gaze fell on the brocade robe and straight sword that Su Mo was holding. He swallowed several times, but still couldn't utter a single word!

Su Mo smiled and said, "Brother Meng, you're here too?"

As he spoke, he waved the object in his hand: "It's better if I carry it myself; it's not something someone else can do for me!"

Meng Scarface finally recovered, swallowing hard: "Su... Su Ya, this is..."

Su Mo smiled and said, "I just picked it up from the garrison."

"Don't tell anyone!"

Meng Bazi nodded repeatedly as if on cue: "Don't worry!"

"I would never utter such a thing!"

Su Mo then asked, "A lot of people have come to the house, haven't they?"

Has Mr. Dong left?

Meng Scarface quickly replied, "Mr. Dong is still here!"

"Although the yamen runners on duty are all here, almost all the constables from the fast patrol are here!"

"There are also some of Chen Laoda's acquaintances, including his henchmen and servants."

"The people from Chenjiazhai have also arrived."

"I brought my sister-in-law and the others back."

Su Mo was a little surprised.

I didn't expect Chen Bao to act so quickly.

He thought his third aunt and Qin Bi'er wouldn't be back until tomorrow.

Salt smugglers are very well-informed.

They've got some nerve!

The constables and yamen runners all gathered, and Dong Yangrong was there too; he even dared to come over.

Aren't you afraid the constables will arrest the smuggler and take credit for it?

Meng Scarface eagerly led Su Mo back to the house.

As soon as Su Mo entered, she smelled a strong aroma of meat.

There were three or four tables set up in the courtyard, and I don't know where they were borrowed from.

A large iron pot was set up next to them, filled with stewed meat. A servant volunteered to act as the cook, busying himself with the task.

Twenty or thirty servants sat together in a circle.

Some were playing rock-paper-scissors, others were boasting, and it was quite a lively scene! Sure enough, the people from Chenjia Village were among them, and Chen Bao and several of his helpers were drinking until their faces were flushed.

However, tea, wine, and snacks such as dried fruit were already on the table, and the meal had not yet begun.

They were clearly waiting for Su Mo, the person in question, to return.

Upon seeing Su Mo appear.

The once noisy courtyard instantly fell silent.

Although Chen Bao had drunk quite a bit, he was still very sober and was about to take the initiative to greet Su Mo, showing that he and Su Mo had an extraordinary relationship.

The next second, he reacted exactly like Meng the Scarface!
The brocade robe and the straight sword over three feet long were very eye-catching, and it was hard to ignore them!
All eyes turned to the brocade robe and the straight sword!

Then came the sound of continuous inhalation!

Chen Bao's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

I originally thought that Su Mo only had some connection with the Embroidered Uniform Guard!
It turns out they were actually members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard!
Holy crap! I actually hit a member of the Imperial Guard with a whip?

Also, what if my daughter became Su Mo's concubine?
The smugglers couldn't help but let their imaginations run wild!
Thank goodness I had the foresight!

Take the Yang Tian Jue!
The effect of getting it in advance is definitely different from getting it after knowing that Su Mo is a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard!

Su Mo saw that everyone had been petrified.

He wondered if he had overacted a bit.

But that’s fine too.

This fits the image of a greenhorn, hot-blooded, and somewhat reckless young man.

If he doesn't flaunt his status as a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, but instead reveals a sullen and experienced mindset, what will Lin Moyin think?
A persona must be carefully protected.

In a critical moment, this persona might just save your life!
Think of this.

Su Mo chuckled: "I didn't expect so many brothers from the government offices to come and support me. It's truly an honor!"

His gaze turned to Chen Bao: "Uncle Chen, you're here too?"

Chen Bao nodded quickly: "I just happened to run into them, so I came to join in the fun!"

"Su... Su Ya wouldn't be unwelcome, would he?"

Su Mo chuckled: "How could that be!"

"We can't even welcome you!"

"I'll have to trouble Uncle Chen to help take care of the guys at the yamen. I need to go inside and drop off some things!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Bao seemed to be injected with three pounds of chicken blood.

Her already red face turned even redder.

He pounded his chest loudly: "Don't worry, Su Ya! Your uncle will take good care of them! He'll make sure all the brothers drink themselves into a stupor!"

The other servants and laborers echoed in agreement!
Enter the main hall.

There's only one table.

The drinks are definitely better than those from outside.

After all, those who can sit in the main hall must be of high status.

Dong Yangrong, Zhong Sanyuan, Luo Lie, and Lü Shan—who among them isn't a prominent figure in Changping County?

The other people sitting with him were also senior constables with considerable influence in the yamen.

Any one of them going out could scare a child into stopping crying!

Seeing Su Mo come in.

The first thing everyone noticed was the blue brocade robe and the straight sword, and their expressions all changed.

The response was somewhat better than that of the unpaid laborers outside.

They've all seen the world!
Su Mo turned her head and looked around, but did not see her third aunt, Qin Bi'er, or the others.

Clearly, the women were all in the inner hall.

Chen Qian tried hard to look away from the brocade robe and the straight sword: "Mo'er, you're back!"

After a pause, she regained some composure: "Hurry back and put your things away!"

"Mr. Dong and Officer Zhong are both waiting for you!"

Dong Yangrong laughed and said, "The main guest hasn't returned yet, so we can't start the banquet."

"Is Brother Su done with his business?"

Su Mo casually put the brocade robe and straight sword aside: "Actually, it's nothing important."

"Uncle, you're something else too!"

"How can we let Mr. Dong sit in the second seat? Quickly, please invite Mr. Dong to move to the head seat!"

Dong Yangrong waved his hand: "That won't do!"

"As a scholar, if I were to overstep my bounds and act without manners, wouldn't I become a laughingstock?"

He straightened his face and said, "The host must ask Brother Su to take a seat, otherwise he will have to send this uninvited guest away."

Zhong Sanyuan, who was standing nearby, quickly chimed in with a smile, "Brother Su, please don't stand on ceremony with Mr. Dong!"

"Please take a seat quickly, everyone is waiting for you."

"I've drunk so much alcohol, if I don't find something to eat to fill my stomach, I'm going to die here tonight!"

Su Mo laughed heartily: "It's all because the kid is so troublesome!"

"I'll punish myself with a bowl of rice first!"

"I'll make sure you all have a good meal later, Officer Zhong!"

Done.

With a heroic air, he picked up the wine jar and poured himself a large bowlful.

Although the drinks are of a higher grade than those outside, they are at most seven or eight degrees, not much different from beer.

It's just a bowl of food, nothing to brag about!
Su Mo, transformed into the god of wine, drank it all in one gulp.
