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

Chapter 100 Su Mo, Don't Come Any Closer! (Seeking Reading)

Changping Baihu Office, the banner official's office, was located in the western part of the compound.

The head and junior officers of the garrison all worked there.

Even Su Mo, a minor official, has his own small office in the West Garden.

However, due to limited funding, this small banner office was only seven or eight square meters, converted from a large side room, where four or five banner officers squeezed together to work.

It's nothing compared to the spacious Room B in the fast shift at the yamen.

Let's not even talk about privacy.

If you speak loudly, the people next door can hear you clearly.

Changping Hundred-Household Office, Nine General Banners, Twenty-Seven Junior Banners!

No matter how much Lin Moyin streamlined the organization, the actual number of sergeants below was reduced.

However, the number of garrison officers must not be reduced.

Moreover, each person has their own designated position.

Even Su Mo's promotion to Junior Flag Officer was only possible because the original unlucky Junior Flag Officer died in the Dragon Gate Cave, allowing Su Mo to take over the position!

Su Mo headed straight for the West Garden and saw Ning Xiaoxiao walking out of the government office with a cold face.

He quickly stepped forward and said, "Commander Ning, I need to speak with you..."

When Ning Xiaoxiao saw him, her usually icy face suddenly flushed red, and she turned back to the government office in a panic.

Su Mo was immediately stunned.

what happened?

She seems afraid of herself?
After hesitating for a moment, I followed them inside and closed the door behind me.

Xiyuan is only this big.

He discussed important matters with Ning Xiaoxiao, and incidentally used the opportunity to build relationships and pull strings.

Naturally, it cannot be seen by outsiders.

According to Lin Moyin, the other Imperial Guards didn't even know that she and Ning Xiaoxiao were fellow disciples!
Many officers and sergeants in the West Garden witnessed this scene.

They were immediately surprised and suspicious.

These banner officials really had nothing to do. They just chatted, drank tea, and read the imperial gazette in their offices. They were so bored they had nothing better to do!
Those who actually do the work are the dispatched imperial guards and secret agents.

Even in ordinary times, when there are any matters or cases, it is the soldiers below who actually carry them out.

Such as patrolling, guarding, or even searching homes and conducting trials.

The problem is, in Changping County, there are hardly any proper officials, so what's the point of confiscating their homes?
It's difficult for even the flag officers to find something to do!
The extremely bored squad leaders and junior officers soon gathered together and began to discuss the matter excitedly.

"Everyone, what do you think?"

"Didn't he get in through Lord Lin's connections?"

"Lord Lin has only been gone a short while, and you're already trying to provoke Commander Ning? You've got some nerve!"

"It's open, it's open!"

"One stick of incense time!"

"I bet he'll come out of the Ningzongqi government office unharmed!"

"Hehe! If you can't even last the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, three hundred coins!"

"I'll bet a hundred coins too!"

"You've all underestimated him, haven't you? He can even spend half an hour inside the office of a centurion!"

"I bet he'll be fine in a stick of incense, and I'll give him a tael of silver!"

"That's not necessarily true!"

"You all know Ning Bingshan's personality. Su Mo may be able to please the centurion, but he may not be able to get any benefits from Commander Ning!"

……

Lin Moyin and Ning Xiaoxiao were the most famous female officials in Changping Garrison and even Yong'an Thousand Household Garrison.

Both women were not only beautiful, but also indifferent to men!
Lin Baihu is a superior officer that neither the captain nor the lieutenant would dare to covet.

But when Ning Xiaoxiao first arrived at Changping Garrison, she was just a lowly strongman.

Many officers of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and even junior and senior officers, coveted her and wanted to win her heart!
I won't go into the details.

Ning Xiaoxiao is not only indifferent to men, but also incredibly strong in combat!

Men who approach with ill intentions usually end up bruised and battered, looking utterly defeated.

In severe cases, their hands and feet could be broken!
Pay attention to the key points: hands and feet!
A senior captain, relying on his status, tried to seduce Ning Xiaoxiao after his advances were rejected!

Then his hands and feet were broken!

Even more terrifying.

The strongman broke the captain's hands and feet, committing insubordination. The strongman continued to serve in the garrison, while the unfortunate captain was inexplicably transferred away and never heard from again!

With a background like that, are you scared yet?
From then on, everyone in the garrison kept their distance from Ning Xiaoxiao, and no one dared to provoke her again.

Not to mention that Ning Xiaoxiao has now become the chief flag officer!

The ruthless man who captured Commander Lin took advantage of Commander Lin's trip to the capital to flirt with Ning Xiaoxiao.

This audacity is something that even the banner officers wouldn't be convinced of!

They already disliked this guy who got promoted through connections.

Naturally, everyone is waiting to see the joke!
Of course, Su Mo could even subdue Ning Bingshan, whose background was mysterious and unpredictable, and who had broken the limbs of the chief.

I'm truly convinced of Su Mo's abilities!

From now on, I should just obediently try to please this new flag officer.

Befriend him when he's in a low position, and then have him take care of you when you rise to power.

This is called investing in advance.

The flag officers all understood the reasoning!
When everyone is at the same level, if others get promoted while you stay in the same place, you'll definitely be extremely resentful!
If someone's connections and background far surpass your own, getting promoted is as easy as drinking water for them. They're not even in the same league, so naturally you can't hate them; you can only try to curry favor with them!

All the flag officers placed their bets.

They even brought an hourglass to measure the time!

Let's see if Su Mo can stay in that terrifying Ningzongqi government office for even an incense stick's time!
...Ning Xiaoxiao fled into the government office, only to find that Su Mo had followed her in and closed the door. Her pretty face turned deathly pale.

She looked at Su Mo in a panic, her voice stammering, "You...you...what are you doing here!"

Su Mo's mind was filled with questions!

Why is Ning Xiaoxiao now so afraid of me?
It wasn't like this last time!
He quickly took two steps forward, about to speak, but the captain panicked even more and hurriedly said, "You...you stop! Don't come any closer!"

Seeing Ning Xiaoxiao becoming increasingly panicked, Su Mo was both amused and exasperated. He could only stop and explain, "Chief Commander Ning, it's like this..."

"I have come here today to report something to you, sir."

He scratched his head and said helplessly, "I believe I have not offended the Commander-in-Chief, so why..."

"Why does Commander Ning seem to have a problem with me?"

Ning Xiaoxiao's heart was pounding wildly, almost jumping out of her throat!
The scene from that night resurfaced once again.

Especially Su Mo's ferocious and terrifying appearance seemed to leap out at their eyes, almost slapping them in the face!
She even had terrible nightmares all night long!

Ning Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and then said urgently, "You just stand there!"

"You...what do you want with me, Commander? Speak up now, and then get out of here!"

Su Mo could only say, "This humble official has just received news that rebels are attacking the county seat of Tieshan County..."

Ning Xiaoxiao immediately replied, "I know!"

"I've already ordered my secret guards to investigate this matter!"

Su Mo was slightly surprised, not expecting Ning Xiaoxiao to react so quickly, already having people watching the matter.

It seems she knows quite a bit about the rebels in Tieshan County; she came to the right place this time.

He added, "Now that Commander Ning knows about this, things will be much easier."

"I am concerned that some members of the Tianmu sect may be stirring up trouble, causing chaos in Changping County as well. Therefore, I would like to request Commander Ning to intensify the search and arrest of Tianmu members..."

Ning Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly: "Okay!"

"I agree!"

"Go find Commander Ma and Commander Guo!"

Su Mo...

"This humble official would also like to review intelligence materials concerning the rebels..."

Ning Xiaoxiao, as the captain, was in charge of the secret guards of the garrison.

The data was first compiled and sent to her, and then directly communicated with Lin Moyin.

This is also an important reason why, despite being a general, her power was similar to that of a three-time centurion!

Hearing Su Mo say this, Ning Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment.

Seeing that Su Mo seemed to want to step forward again, her heart pounded even harder, and she said urgently, "Okay!"

"I'll give it to you right now!"

He paused, then quickly added, "Don't come any closer!"

After saying that, he hurriedly pulled a scroll from the case file and threw it to Su Mo.

"You can only see it! You can see it here... no, take it back to see it, and bring it back immediately after you're done!"

"Can we go out now?"

Su Mo: "Ahem... I would also like to ask the Commander-in-Chief to help investigate the background of the grain merchants in Changping County."

Ning Xiaoxiao was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but Su Mo was so terrifying that she could hardly breathe!
He could only pull out the case file again, angrily throwing it at Su Mo, while warning Su Mo, "You're the only one who can read this!"

Su Mo...

"Your humble servant..."

Ning Xiaoxiao finally couldn't hold back any longer. Suppressing her fear, she roared angrily, "Get out!"

Su Mo felt a chill run down her spine.

This Commander Ning seems to have fallen ill; his temper is terrible, even worse than that of the Centurion!
The key issue is that I can't see her favorability rating!

Forget it.

It's best not to get beaten up for no reason.

He was only at the beginner level, and his offensive techniques were only half-baked in the Five Thunder Technique.

They are definitely no match for her two flying swords!
The matter of Xianyan Mountain doesn't seem to have much to do with the functions of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, so there's probably not much relevant information.

Go back and see if you can find out anything from the guards and soldiers.

He also went back to the county government office to ask Zhong Sanyuan about it.

Su Mo could only bow to Ning Xiaoxiao and say, "This humble official takes his leave!"

Ning Xiaoxiao: "Hurry up! Let's go!"

After Su Mo left the government office.

Ning Xiaoxiao then realized that she could breathe again.

But damn it, those horrible images keep popping up uncontrollably!
She quickly circulated the Su Nu Xuan Yin Technique for two full cycles before calming her mind!

……

The officers and sergeants who were waiting to see what was going on saw the gates of the Ning General Banner Office open.

Su Mo walked out with a furrowed brow and a suspicious look on his face.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea!
Those who bet on Su Mo not lasting more than an incense stick's time were naturally all smiles.

"I told you he wouldn't last even a stick of incense, he had to pay up! I've bet a hundred coins!"

"Hehe, I bet three hundred!"

"That's right, Ning Bingshan is even more terrifying than Lord Lin. Su Mo is simply overestimating himself by trying to provoke her!"

Suddenly, someone murmured, "But he got out safely!"

“In the past, who could be alone with Commander Ning for so long and emerge unscathed?”

Upon hearing this, the room fell completely silent!
