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

Chapter 5 Magical Artifacts and the Young Widow
Lady Qin was indeed fair-skinned, beautiful, gentle, and had a very graceful figure.

She perfectly matches the image of a classical beauty in Su Mo's mind.

Unfortunately, she was beautiful but short-lived, marrying a husband who died young.

The scholar had been married for less than two years when he abandoned his wife and young daughter and passed away.

Forced by the necessities of life, he had no choice but to set up a pancake stall in front of his house.

In the beginning, quite a few thugs came to cause trouble.

But the young lady, though seemingly gentle and weak, had a fierce personality and was even willing to take up a knife to kill people. Over time, there were far fewer troublemakers.

Su Mo was not a meddlesome person in her previous life.

This is especially true after arriving in this unfamiliar world. I have always adhered to the principle of speaking less, doing less, and observing more, and have kept a low profile.

However, this young widow is different.

From head to toe, from toe to head, and even down to the fingertips, every part of her is perfectly in line with Su Mo's aesthetic standards!
Being widowed and having a daughter is not a problem.

The key is that she's gentle, beautiful, and has a great figure!

However, the lone, unemployed local ruffian felt unworthy of her and thought he should first be promoted to a regular position and receive a government salary before confessing his feelings to the young widow.

A sinister voice then reached Su Mo's ears.

"Report to the official?"

"I'm about to be a regular constable in the fast squad. Let's see who the constables arrest when they come!"

Su Mo's eye twitched suddenly!
It was Zhou Laizi who stole my official position and caused me to lose more than two taels of silver for no reason!
It's really a narrow road for enemies!

Then Zhou Laizi said in a sinister tone, "If you know what's good for you, just give in to me!"

"Otherwise, when I'm tired of you, I'll sell you to a brothel, and after someone else has fucked you to pieces, let's see if you still report it to the authorities!"

Su Mo's face instantly darkened.

Turning around with a dark expression, he saw Qin Bier cry out in alarm, lifting her skirt and running out of the alleyway in fear.

One corner of the skirt was torn.

Zhou Laizi, who looked like a bear, chased after the drunkard, who was clutching half a piece of coarse cloth, with a sinister grin.

The terrified Qin Bier saw Su Mo in the alley as if she had seen a lifeline.

"Young Master Su! Save me!"

Shouting as he rushed over, he hid behind Su Mo.

Every day on her way to work at the yamen, Su Mo would pass by the pancake stall at the entrance of the neighborhood and occasionally buy two multigrain pancakes for lunch.

Although she hadn't exchanged many words with Su Mo, Qin Bi'er knew he was different from ordinary yamen runners.

At least I never tried to take anything from her stall, nor did I ever make any suggestive remarks to her!

Su Mo stared at Zhou Laizi, who was approaching.

Zhou Laizi stopped in his tracks, glanced sideways at Su Mo, and sneered, "So it's you, kid!"

"You want to stand up for this young widow?"

"Could it be that you are this young widow's lover?"

Su Mo said slowly, "Brother Zhou, it would be best not to go too far, both inside and outside the neighborhood!"

Zhou Laizi burst out laughing: "Too much?"

"How dare a mere servant speak to me like that?"

"It's her good fortune that I've taken a liking to her!"

He paused, then glared at Su Mo with his cross-eyed, menacing look: "If you know what's good for you, get out of the way!"

"For Old Man Chen's sake, after I'm done with this, I might let you have a taste!"

As he spoke, he reached out and pushed Su Mo directly!

Su Mo's expression suddenly changed!
Despite his low-key nature, even a clay figure has some fire, let alone a vigorous young man like him, with a young widow who admires him hiding behind him!
Who cares if his younger sister is the clerk's concubine, or if he himself is the clerk's concubine!
Do it first and then talk!
"You ungrateful animal!"

With a cold shout, he pulled with his left hand and slammed his right hand hard into the other person's shoulder!

Despite Zhou Meng's strong and fat physique, Su Mo is not afraid of him in a real fight!

Suddenly, a strange heat surged from his waist and quickly entered Su Mo's arm.

With a bang, Zhou Meng, weighing over 200 pounds, was sent flying two meters away by Su Mo's punch.

The cracking sound of bones breaking was clearly audible!
Zhou Meng collapsed to the ground in the blink of an eye, screaming in agony!

Su Mo looked at her palm, then at Zhou Meng, who was lying on the ground screaming in pain.

Is this guy trying to scam me?

How could one punch from me have such power?
It doesn't look like acting.

I could hear the cracking sound; it's almost certainly a comminuted fracture!
Once Su Mo calmed down, she didn't have time to figure out why her strength had suddenly become so great.

I turned my head and looked around. Nobody was there!

He then looked at Qin Xiaoniangzi, whose pretty face had turned pale, and said with a serious and earnest expression: "Nothing happened today, understand?"

Qin Bier took a deep breath and nodded vigorously: "Mm!"

Su Mo: "Go back right away!"

Qin Bier gritted her teeth: "And you, my lord?"

Su Mo said irritably, "Of course I'm leaving too!"

"He was drunk and accidentally broke his arm. What's it to me!"

Qin Bier...

However, she was also resolute, gritting her teeth and saying, "My lord, be careful! I'll leave right away!"

After saying that, he really ran away!
They even picked up the cloth that had fallen on the ground and took it with them!

You're very thoughtful!

After Qin Bier left, a fierce glint flashed in Su Mo's eyes.

He gripped the rusty iron ruler, which had magical damage properties, tightly!
After much hesitation, I finally decided that killing him to cover it up was too risky!

If the authorities investigate, the young widow might not be able to withstand the pressure from Miki.

Say.

Su Mo couldn't guarantee that no one had actually seen this scene!
In the end, he had no choice but to abandon his murderous intent and turn to leave!

Back in the old two-courtyard house with blue bricks in Jiazi Lane of Ping'anfang, Su Mo frowned and fell into deep thought.

It's not right.

Although I am quite strong.

It's absolutely impossible for a single punch to cause Zhou Meng to suffer a comminuted fracture!
If there are still physical laws in this world.

To break a human bone, the force required cannot be less than two hundred kilograms!
Is he not a true martial arts master?

Could I possibly be a martial arts master?

Actually, when Su Mo ran back from Xishan, she had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

I almost lost half my life running there, but I came back feeling completely relaxed, without even breaking a sweat!
Is it because of the "golden finger" (or similar cheat code)?

It should not be.

The cheat code was activated when I was at the City God Temple, but it didn't have any effect when I went to Xishan.

Besides the cheat code...

Su Mo untied his money pouch, took out the Vajra Pestle and the Golden Lock, and examined them with half-closed eyes.

When I threw that punch earlier, I felt a surge of heat rising from my waist, right where my money pouch was hanging! The problem is most likely with those two things.

In a corner of the courtyard, there is a stone lock, weighing a little over a hundred pounds.

Su Mo held the Vajra Pestle in one hand and lifted the stone lock in the other.

With a little force, the vajra became faintly hot, and the heat flowed out again!
He easily lifted the stone lock, weighing over 100 jin (50 catties), above his head, as if it weighed only about 20 jin (10 catties).

Release the Vajra pestle.

The weight of the stone lock immediately returned to normal!

Sure enough!

The reason he transformed into a martial arts master was the vajra found in the statue of the Locust God.

Su Mo tried the female commander's golden lock again.

Unfortunately, Jin Suo didn't have that ability.

Su Mo's eyes lit up as he looked at the small Vajra Pestle!
This thing actually possesses magical abilities, just like Lin Moyin's book!
"Could it be a legendary magical artifact?"

"Is this world really a world of cultivation?"

Su Mo tested it again, and even gritted her teeth and bled herself to see if she could bind her blood to the master.

What a waste of time and effort!
The vajra did not react at all!

It seemed to have no effect other than increasing one's strength.

Of course, this is already very good.

It can be used as a trump card in critical moments!
It's not safe to put the vajra in a money bag. If it gets stolen by a pickpocket, you'll have no tears to shed, even though not many pickpockets dare to touch the money bags of the yamen runners.

Su Mo searched for a long time but couldn't find a suitable, sturdy silk rope to hang the Vajra Pestle around her neck.

The golden lock rope was quite tough; I wonder what material it was made of. It would have been perfect for the Vajra pestle, but unfortunately, it has to be returned to its rightful owner.
