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

Chapter 88 This Su Mo is born to be an official!

Su Mo made no attempt to hide his true intentions, stating frankly that he had obtained his official position through the influence of the centurion.

The captains and strongmen of the Jiazi Group below were instantly dumbfounded!
Is this incredibly young officer, at most eighteen or nineteen, a seventh-rank official, truly so upright, or so foolish?
Others who have powerful backers wish they could hide them under their beds so no one would know.

He just said it so openly?

The three red-clad captains exchanged a glance instinctively.
If someone is truly honest or foolish, then they are easy to deal with and can be manipulated at will.

What if it isn't?

Can an upright person win the favor of a centurion who never shows his emotions?

Is he exceptionally gifted in that area?

We need to observe the situation carefully before making a decision!
Su Mo didn't care about their reactions.

I am young, have no prestige, and no achievements, so I can't control them.

It's perfectly normal to bring up the legendary female commander.

Anyway, everyone knows that he got his position because of her, so what's the point of hiding it!

Just ask them if they're scared!
Su Mo then added, "I was promoted thanks to Lord Centurion!"

"Therefore, I have never been afraid of nepotism!"

He paused, then said calmly, "If you have other backers, you can request to be transferred to another group right now!"

"I will not obstruct you at all, and I will even host a farewell banquet for you all!"

"If not, then I'll have to stay in the Koshi group."

"From now on, I will be your only protector!"

"In other words."

Su Mo's face suddenly darkened, and he said in a sinister tone, "For me, crushing you all is as easy as crushing an ant!"

Upon hearing this, all the Jinyiwei soldiers present were simultaneously shocked!
I'm not afraid of seasoned veterans, I'm afraid of naive youngsters.

Especially young people who are eighteen or nineteen years old, backed by powerful figures, and who have become arrogant and self-satisfied!

If you offend him, he really will kill you without considering the consequences!

As for how he would deal with it after killing himself, or whether he would be punished by his superiors, it didn't matter to him what he did!

He's already killed me!

Su Mo saw that everyone looked terrified.

The contempt in his eyes was completely gone.

Regardless of whether they hid it well or not.

Just prove that you're afraid of yourself!

He coughed and waved the roster in his hand.

"This garrison is a high-ranking centurion garrison, and the same applies to the captains and lieutenants."

"I have taken a look at the roster."

"The Jiazi Group, with a full strength of thirty members, suffered three deaths and one serious injury that prevented them from returning to the team during the operation to eradicate the cult. One of them was the Black-Clad Captain, and the other member was previously vacant."

"For these five vacancies, please feel free to recommend candidates to me."

"If the person making the recommendation is a brother or child of the dead or wounded, a fee of twenty taels of silver will suffice."

"If you are not involved in the deaths or injuries, you must pay fifty taels of silver to become a strongman."

As he spoke, Su Mo smiled and glanced at everyone: "I will be responsible for recommending you to Lord Centurion."

"If we are unable to do so, we will provide a full refund, without charging a single penny!"

After Su Mo finished speaking, all the soldiers swallowed hard in unison!

My eyes are practically burning with excitement!
That's too straightforward!

They won't be tempted until they've been won over!
I thought that the number of people in the Hundred Household Office had been reduced from eight or nine hundred to less than six hundred!

A centurion certainly couldn't make up for the losses in battle.

This is a golden opportunity for the official to embezzle funds!
Unexpectedly, the newly appointed junior officer declared that he would fill the vacancy!

It seems that having a powerful backer isn't such a bad thing!
Shangguan was promoted.

Wouldn't it just be the turn of the subordinates to take the place that the superior originally occupied?

This official, in particular, values nepotism the most.

He's also greedy!
Don't underestimate the guards in the garrison. Their monthly salary is only two taels of silver, and due to strict discipline, they are not allowed to extort money from merchants. There's not much profit to be made.

But it is still in high demand and short supply!

For a maximum of forty taels of silver, you can buy a spot as a strongman!
Even if you don't need it yourself, you can resell it and make double the profit, right?
Just as everyone was secretly calculating, a burly strongman with thick eyebrows and large eyes strode out and asked in a deep voice, "Lord Su, you just said that all the newly appointed recruits are strongmen?"

Su Mo nodded with a smile: "Not bad!"

The strongman gritted his teeth: "May I ask, sir, is the position of the former black-clad captain vacant?"

Su Mo laughed heartily: "I will naturally choose to promote from among you!"

"For just fifty taels of silver, a strongman can be promoted to a black-clad captain!"

Upon hearing this, all the strongmen's eyes widened instantly.

Unfortunately, before they could speak, the burly strongman with thick eyebrows and large eyes said without hesitation, "My lord!"

"I am willing to buy the position of Black-Clad Captain!"

Su Mo immediately gave a thumbs up: "You have guts and drive!"

"I like such excellent subordinates!"

"Lord Centurion should not have gone far. Here is the token!"

The strongman stared in disbelief: "Now?"

"But I don't have that much silver on me right now!"

Su Mo rolled her eyes: "Just bring it here!"

"Do you think I'm afraid you won't give me the money?"

The burly strongman, somewhat bewildered, took off his ivory token and handed it to Su Mo with both hands.

Su Mo took the ivory token: "You wait here, I'll be right back!"

After saying that, he left in a hurry, leaving the group of strongmen looking at each other in bewilderment.

The female centurion was leading a hundred elite guards, along with trial centurion Chu Jianghe, pulling more than a dozen prison carts, all ready to depart outside the compound.

Although there were only a dozen or so followers of the Celestial Mother.

However, given the gravity of the matter and the fear that the Heavenly Mother Sect might attempt to capture her en route, Lin Moyin naturally had to make ample preparations.

Just as she mounted her crimson steed and waved to give the order to depart.

Suddenly, Su Mo was seen hurrying out of the garrison.

"Lord Baihu, wait!"

Lin Moyin frowned, lowered her hand, and asked coldly, "What do you want?"

Su Mo quickly replied, "Yes, sir, it's like this!"

"I have just discovered that among my strongmen, there is one whose courage and drive are both outstanding, and he can be promoted to Black-Clad Captain!"

"This is his ivory tag; I hope you will approve it, sir!"

As soon as these words came out.

All the elite guards present, including Chu Jianghe, stared strangely at Su Mo, and then looked at the centurion!
Lin Moyin was immediately at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

At this point, it wasn't appropriate to lash out, so he could only coldly say, "Give it to me!"

Su Mo hurriedly handed over the ivory token with both hands!

Lin Moyin put away the ivory tag without even looking at it, then took out a black wooden ivory tag from her sleeve, tossed it to Su Mo, and snorted: "This is the ivory tag of the Black-Clad Captain. Name and number, engrave it yourself!"

Su Mo quickly said, "Thank you, sir!"

"Um……"

"Please wait a moment, sir."

Lin Moyin was speechless. She took a deep breath and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Su Mo chuckled: "My lord, isn't there still five vacancies in the Jiazi Group? This humble servant..."

Lin Moyin remained silent for a moment, then flicked her sleeve, sending out five streaks of dark light that landed in Su Mo's hand.

Then, through gritted teeth, he squeezed out a single word: "Get out!"

Su Mo put away the ivory token: "Your subordinate obeys!"

He quickly slipped away!

Seeing the group of Imperial Guards looking at him with strange eyes, all of them seemed to want to laugh but dared not.

The female officer felt like dying.

That damn bastard, why didn't he come to me in private?
She gritted her teeth: "Let's go!"
