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

Chapter 39 The Little Widow

Su Mo squinted at the jade tablet.

It faintly exudes a magical aura filled with killing intent.

It's definitely a magical artifact!
Moreover, it is an offensive magical artifact!
If I hadn't cultivated the Yangtian Technique, I would never have discovered it!
Xue Yishu's uncle is undoubtedly a Taoist sorcerer!

Without a doubt, if anyone dares to do something bad to Xue Yishu, she definitely has the means to unleash the offensive power of the jade tablet and kill them without mercy!

No wonder he dared to stay at a strange man's house!

No wonder Xue Shan governed Changping County well, but could only stay there and could never be promoted!
Today, the power of the emperor and the power of the immortals are locked in a silent struggle, with undercurrents surging.

From the Empress's perspective, she certainly wouldn't want to see more and more officials with immortal cultivation backgrounds being promoted!
The brother-in-law seemed to be someone who only knew how to cultivate and didn't get involved in official affairs, so he couldn't bring Xue Shan any help from the imperial court's immortal officials.

It's perfectly normal that they've been stuck in Changping County all this time!

However, Xue Shan was also a person with an extremely keen sense of crisis, and he must have known that the case of the mummified corpse was of great importance and that the county government could not handle it.

Only then did they bring out this powerful backer to take charge of Changping County!

Never underestimate any official!
It's really no wonder Xue Shan was afraid of his wife.

With such a powerful elder brother to rely on, Su Mo himself knew he wouldn't be much better off!

Xue Yishu smugly stuffed the jade pendant back into the box.

Su Mo's heart stirred.

She has such a maternal uncle who may even possess the means to unleash immortal magic.

They must be very familiar with the ways of immortals.

It's much more reliable than what my third uncle said based on hearsay!

Think of this.

Su Mo sneered at Xue Yishu: "Brother Xue, you don't think I'm that easy to fool, do you?"

"Immortal Taoist sorcerers are truly remarkable, rarely seen in this world."

He rolled his eyes at Xue Yishu with disdain: "You just pull out a jade tablet and say your uncle is a Taoist immortal? I'd say my uncle is a martial arts master!"

Xue Yishu immediately became anxious: "Really! I'm not lying to you! What will it take for you to believe me?"

Su Mo's eyes darted around: "Alright!"

"Since you say your uncle is a Taoist sorcerer, you must be quite knowledgeable about the Taoist arts."

"Let me ask you, how many levels are there in the cultivation of immortality?"

If you can explain it, I will believe you!

No matter how intelligent Xue Yishu was, she was still a woman who often stayed in her boudoir.

How can it compare to the reclusive homebody who can "know everything happening in the world while sitting at home"?

In particular, the nerdy guy has been intensively studying at the yamen for a hundred days, with cunning clerks constantly giving him pointers, so his cunning level has improved extremely quickly!
Without hesitation, she replied, "Of course I know!"

"The path to immortality consists of nine major realms!"

"These are respectively the stages of Entry, Body Observation, Soul Stabilization, Spirit Separation, Return to the Aperture, Golden Elixir, Celestial Infant, Divine Travel, and the Realm of the Land Immortal!"

Xue Yishu paused, then said, "My uncle said so."

"The path to immortality is difficult to surpass, even reaching the heavens. Once you reach the Soul Stabilization Realm, you can be considered to have entered the inner sanctum, and you will have few rivals in the world!"

"Humph!"

She glanced at Su Mo defiantly: "Uncle, you've reached the Divine Transformation Realm, comparable to a martial arts grandmaster. You're already one of the best among sorcerers!"

Su Mo gasped.

He thought that he had easily defeated Yan Dahu, which made him a top-notch expert.

Looking at it now, he's still a piece of trash!

I never imagined that Xue Yishu's uncle would be so powerful.

I wonder who is more powerful, Lin Moyin or Lin Moyin?
Golden Core Realm, the sixth realm of immortality.

His own Yangtian Technique leads directly to the Golden Core stage, which is truly remarkable. No wonder he has such power even though he has only just entered the field.

Chen Bao did indeed give himself a super gift!
Su Mo wanted to extract more information about the immortal path.

Xue Yishu was unwilling to say more: "Now that you know everything, can I stay here for a few days?"

Don't be too hasty.

Although Xue Yishu was naive and inexperienced, she seemed much more intelligent than Lady Chen.

I was afraid that if I asked any more questions, it would arouse her suspicion.

Su Mo finally nodded: "In that case..."

"If you don't mind my humble abode, I would be more than happy to welcome you!"

Xue Yishu glanced in the direction of the yamen and said, "Let's go quickly!"

"If Mother finds out that Yan Dahu can't catch me, she'll definitely send even more people!"

Unbeknownst to her, Su Mo had already revealed his identity.

Even if I hide in the Su residence, I think my mother will still come.

Su Mo didn't say much to her.

Those who come are like Yan Dahu; he can handle them alone.

Such a family matter is unlikely to warrant Xue Shan using the power of the government. If word gets out, how will Xue Yishu, as a young woman, face the world?
He called to Xue Yishu and went straight home!
As soon as they arrived near the house, they saw a number of men who clearly weren't respectable people waiting outside.

Turn to the side door.

The same is true.

Su Mo was immediately at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Xue Yishu looked at Su Mo suspiciously and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Su, what's this?"

Su Mo had no choice but to explain, "To be honest, Brother Xue, I am a newly appointed head constable in the yamen, and I have three assistant constables under me!"

Xue Yishu's pretty eyes widened instantly as she stared at Su Mo in disbelief: "What?"

"Are you a yamen runner?"

Su Mo smiled and said, "Doesn't it look like it?"

Xue Yishu...

That doesn't look like it at all!
Absolutely not related!

She'd seen yamen runners before.

They are mostly ugly, cunning, and vicious people!

Su Mo was handsome and refined, and his speech was also very elegant, without the vulgarity of ordinary people. He was clearly a well-educated and polite scholar.

The sudden revelation that he is now a yamen runner is too much of a contrast for Xue Yishu to accept!
If only I had known earlier that Su Mo was a yamen runner.

She would never suggest staying at Su Mo's residence temporarily!
Isn't this like sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth?

Seeing Xue Yishu's wary expression, Su Mo smiled and explained, "Brother Xue, there's no need to worry."

"Although I am a yamen runner, I have some connection with your father."

"I'm afraid Magistrate Xue will give me some face and won't send anyone to look for you!"

Xue Yishu was even more confused.

When did my own father become acquainted with a low-ranking official?
Thin noodles?

What face could a mere clerk possibly have?
But before she could ask.

Su Mo quickly stepped forward, ready to open the door and enter the house.

Several thugs waiting at the side door immediately noticed something and surrounded him, bowing and greeting Su with obsequious respect.

Clearly, they had done their homework and knew Su Mo's appearance.

Su Mo cupped his hands in greeting and said with a smile, "I am deeply grateful for your high regard, brothers."

"Unfortunately, Mr. Su's regular duty assignment has already been decided."

"Please leave now. If I ever need your help in the future, I will definitely ask for your assistance!"

"I also hope that you all can inform the brothers at the main gate."

Although the local thugs who came to seek refuge with Su Mo were reluctant to leave, Su Mo had already said so, and it would be disrespectful to him to stay any longer.

The consequences of disrespecting the yamen runners are quite serious!

They could only return Su Mo's greetings.

He patted his chest and said that he would obey any orders given by the Su official in the future.

Then they dispersed.

Xue Yishu saw that Su Mo had already stepped into the side door and turned back to wave to her.

After hesitating for a moment, I had no choice but to follow!
Despite being the daughter of a county magistrate, she rarely left her small office, and her social experience was even less than that of Lady Chen.

Now that I'm all alone in a strange place, I really don't know where to go except for an inn!
If I stay at the inn, my mother will definitely find me.

We can only trust Su Mo, who seems unreliable no matter how you look at it!
Su Mo was very enthusiastic.

They put in a lot of effort to improve Xue Yishu's favorability.

After all, she is not only the daughter of a county magistrate, but also the niece of a great sorcerer at the Divine Realm!

If you max out the favorability rating.

Wouldn't that mean I'd indirectly gained a powerful backer?

We must not be careless!

Su Mo gestured for Xue Yishu to sit down and made her some tea before preparing to tidy up the room himself.

Suddenly, a noise came from the side door.

Someone is banging on the door!

Su Mo frowned.

They also said that those thugs and hooligans were unwilling to accept it.

I went over and opened the door to take a look.

But to everyone's surprise, it turned out to be the young widow Qin Bi'er!
After yesterday's storm, she didn't know how to cope with herself, so she secretly slipped away early this morning.

Why are you suddenly coming to our door again?

Could it be that once you've tasted the marrow, you've developed a taste for it?

Su Mo felt a surge of heat in his heart!
I'm begging for monthly votes, brothers, can you lend a hand?
