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

Chapter 64 Suppression from Rank

County Magistrate Xue Shan, Imperial Guard Commander Lin Moyin, Guard Commander He Xingguo, and additional garrison commander Bai Shouren.

The bigwigs of the military, political, and intelligence systems of Changping County gathered at the county government office.

He Xingguo and Bai Shouren did not get along well.

At this point, they consciously put aside their personal grudges and discussed countermeasures with serious expressions.

Both were fifth-rank military officers.

In terms of rank, he is above Lin Moyin, who is a sixth-rank official, and Xue Shan, who is a seventh-rank official.

However, in the later years of Emperor Wu Taizu's reign, he began to join forces with Taoist sorcerers to suppress military generals and reduce their power.

In recent years, the court's emphasis on civil officials over military officials has become increasingly serious, and the status of military officers has become increasingly low.

As a fifth-rank military officer, I really wouldn't dare say that his status is much higher than Xue Shan and Lin Moyin's.

The four discussed it.

However, there weren't many countermeasures available.

After all, they were just the heads of various systems in a county.

Let alone Fenglai Mansion.

Even in Yong'an Prefecture, they have no say.

In the end, all we could do was closely monitor the situation, mobilize troops to prepare, and take precautions against hoarding and speculation.

……

Lin Moyin rode her crimson horse back to the Hundred Household Office with a gloomy expression.

The Five Gods Sacrifice and the Demon Locust Mother both occurred in Fenglai, and had little to do with the Embroidered Uniform Guard of Changping County.

Simply monitor the situation in Changping County and its surrounding areas.

Just as they were about to reach the garrison, they inexplicably turned their horses around and headed towards Ping'anfang.

Lord Baihu can guarantee that.

I really don't want to see that bastard.

I just want to know what exactly happened at Longmen Grottoes!

They had just arrived outside the Su residence.

The female constable smelled a strong aroma of meat wafting from the backyard of the Su residence!
Lin Moyin sniffed and involuntarily swallowed.

Food and sex are human nature.

No matter how aloof or powerful Lord Hyakuho is.

In terms of food and sex, he is not much different from ordinary people.

Moreover, it's unrealistic to expect that if a Hundred-Household Lord cultivates excellent immortal skills, he can also cook excellent dishes!
On the contrary, the meals of the centurions were not much better than those of ordinary people!
I'm broke!

Not only was she, the centurion, short of money, but the entire centurion's office was also short of funds!

Unlike the Imperial Guards in the capital, which were rife with corruption and could frequently raid ministers' offices, county and town guard posts were not.

When the Imperial Guards entered someone's house, they usually didn't enter through the main gate, just as yamen runners don't knock on the door, but kick it open.

The female constable gently pressed her hand on the horse's back, and her body floated up, leaping over the wall and into the courtyard.

After instructing Ms. Chen on cooking techniques.

Su Mo took out two pieces of raw meat to feed the puppies.

The white tiger and the pills—I wonder if they were starving or if raw meat suited their tastes better.

Finally, they started munching on it.

Suddenly, Su Mo felt a large red bird fly across the sky.

I subconsciously looked up.

Then, dumbfounded, he exclaimed, "Commander of the Centurion?"

"Why are you here?"

Lin Moyin was already in a bad mood.

Seeing this bastard made things even worse.

He scoffed coldly, "Why can't I come?"

Seeing that the female commander looked unwell, Su Mo quickly smiled and said, "Of course I can come!"

"Isn't my home the same as yours, sir's home? You may come whenever you wish!"

Lin Moyin snorted again and remained silent.

Su Mo's eyes darted around; this was a chance to win favor: "Lord Centurion, you've come at the perfect time!"

"I have just finished cooking. If you don't mind, would you like to have a simple meal here?"

As it spoke, seeing that the white tiger had stopped eating meat, it began barking wildly at the centurion.

He immediately shouted sternly, "White Tiger! Be quiet!"

"This is Lord Centurion!"

"If you keep making noise, you won't get any food!"

Lin Moyin frowned, her gaze falling on the dog barking at her, her expression slightly strange: "White Tiger?"

Su Mo was stunned.

I never expected Lord Hyakuho to be interested in puppies.

Could it be that he didn't know his original purpose in buying the dog was to have it bite her? Feeling a little guilty, he explained, "This dog is all white and looks as fierce as a tiger cub, so I named it White Tiger."

At this moment, the pills beside it, seeing the white tiger barking wildly at Lin Moyin, also started barking.

Su Mo's face darkened, and she glared at it fiercely: "Pill! Shut up!"

A cold glint flashed in Lin Moyin's eyes, and her tone sounded sinister and chilling: "White Tiger? Pills?"

Su Mo quickly said, "Yes! This puppy has a white patch on its neck, like a pill, so..."

As he spoke, his voice abruptly stopped.

Something doesn't sound right.
One hundred households? Are they finished?
What the hell!

In all honesty, Su Mo never intended to curse Lord Baihu!
She's been so good to me, how could I be so heartless as to curse her to ruin!
Biting her with a dog was a previous idea!

Seeing that Lin Moyin's pretty face was covered in frost.

A murderous aura emerged.

Su Mo swallowed hard: "My lord, please let me explain!"

"Even if I had the guts of a bear and the gall of a leopard, I wouldn't dare curse you, sir..."

Su Mo felt even more wronged than Dou E, and said with a bitter face, "My lord, please think about it. Even if I really cursed you, I wouldn't say it to your face!"

Lin Moyin nodded: "Not bad! You can talk behind my back!"

Su Mo...

"Your subordinate will rename them immediately!"

Lin Moyin sneered: "Do you think I'm so narrow-minded that I can't even tolerate a dog?"

Watching the female demon flick her sleeves and walk towards the back hall.

Su Mo was sweating profusely, feeling extremely conflicted.

What does she mean?
Should we change it or not?

If I don't change it, won't they hold a grudge forever?
If I change it, will I feel guilty and hold a grudge?
Damn it!
If you don't want to change it, then don't. It's not like I'm the one who's going to ruin things!
The favorability progress bar above my head hasn't changed!

Don't panic!

He glared at the two troublesome puppies and quickly chased after the centurion!

Lin Moyin entered the inner hall and sat down at the second seat of the octagonal table without any hesitation.

Su Mo quickly said, "My lord, please take the seat of honor!"

The first level of officialdom crushes people to death.

How could Su Mo dare to sit in the main seat himself, leaving the second seat to the centurion!
I'm not afraid that one day when I return to the garrison, I'll be sucked dry by the female demon and turned into a dried-up corpse!

What's the point of saving face?

Brother Gou and Brother Han have already demonstrated through their own experiences that true heroes are those who can bend and stretch!
It's just saying a few nice words; it won't cost you anything.

Su Mo could clearly distinguish between what was more important and what was less important!
The female officer didn't even flinch, and looked at Su Mo expressionlessly: "Serve the food!"

Helpless, Su Mo had no choice but to go to the kitchen to see if Lady Chen had finished cooking.

Just then, Lady Chen and the county magistrate's daughter came towards us, carrying food.

Seeing Lin Moyin sitting in the second seat with an imposing air.

He was stunned for a moment.

Then Ms. Chen became unhappy.

"Su Mo, who is she? Why is she sitting in Xue Langjun's seat?"

In the eyes of the ancients, eating was a sacred thing.

They are very rule-abiding.

Eat without talking and sleep without talking.

The primary and secondary positions are clearly distinguished, and one must not sit in a disorderly manner.

Many wealthy families even had a rule that women and children were not allowed to sit at the table!

Regular banquets.

The main seat is definitely reserved for Su Mo, the host.

It's reasonable for Lady Chen to give up her second place to Xue Yishu, the daughter of the county magistrate.

But the woman who appeared out of nowhere took the second seat!

That's so disrespectful of the rules!

Xue Yishu, on the other hand, was more open-minded than Chen, and smiled and said, "Since you've come all through this door, it's no trouble to let this lady sit down."

Su Mo was genuinely afraid of the troublemaking Chen, so he coughed heavily twice and said, "Let me introduce myself!"

"This is Lord Lin, a centurion of the Embroidered Uniform Guard!"

He turned to look at Lin Moyin: "Lord Baihu, this is Xue Yuan, the young master of the county magistrate's family, and this is Chen Qianyu, the young lady of the Chen family."

Upon hearing this, Ms. Chen seemed to have her throat grabbed, her voice abruptly stopped, and she kept swallowing hard!
Xue Yishu looked horrified and couldn't help but glance at Lin Moyin!

The most terrifying presence in Changping County was a cruel and tyrannical official who could stop a child from crying.

How did we suddenly end up at the Su residence?
Looks like we're going to eat here?

Furthermore, the fearsome head of the Embroidered Uniform Guard was actually a woman with an excellent figure and so beautiful that even women were jealous.

The magistrate's daughter's worldview has been shattered!
