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

Chapter 60 Naming a Dog with White Tiger Pills

Cao Sanjiang, his face dark with anger, ordered his old servant to kill Su Mo.

Only in this way, by cutting through the mess swiftly and establishing authority with overwhelming force, can others remain unaware of the true strength and weakness of the Cao family!
He firmly believed it.

A commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard wouldn't be foolish enough to risk everything for a dead man or an insignificant strongman.

To oppose a former second-rank imperial censor!

The old servant responded with a sound, but did not move.

Cao Sanjiang frowned immediately: "Uncle Fu, why aren't you going yet?"

The old man called Uncle Fu twitched his droopy eyelids.

He said slowly, "That servant is a worldly person. Killing him in broad daylight would attract too many eyes."

"It's not too late to take his life after nightfall!"

If you are born into this world, you must abide by its rules.

Although immortal cultivators are dozens or hundreds of times stronger than mortals, they are not truly invincible!

When the imperial army arrives, they will be annihilated.

Most importantly, there are too few Taoist sorcerers.

Most of the truly skilled sorcerers have already become officials in the imperial court!

Wild Taoist sorcerers who oppose the imperial court are opposing the imperial court's Taoist sorcerers!

The imperial court can turn a blind eye to the feuds and vendettas between Taoist sorcerers and chivalrous heroes.

If they were to attack ordinary people without any scruples.

Then don't blame the imperial court for its iron fist suppression!

Faced with the overwhelming national will.

Even a half-step terrestrial immortal like Master Jiulong, the number one Taoist sorcerer in the world, had to hide like a rat in a ditch, never daring to show his face!
……

Su Mo left the Hundred Household Office in a very good mood.

This time it really was a case of eating and taking things away.

He advanced to the peak of the beginner level in the Immortal Path.

He also obtained the Returning to Truth Pill and the Golden Light Mantra Jade Talisman.

I wonder which is more powerful, this golden amulet or Xue Yishu's jade amulet.

With the centurion's office taking the lead, and Xue Shan joining in, the Cao family would likely not dare to act rashly.

Lin Moyin told him to behave himself and not cause any trouble.

Su Mo considered it for a moment and decided there was no need to go back to the yamen; Xue Shan naturally knew what to do.

We just need to wait for the centurion to settle the matter!

When Lady Chen returns, I'll give her a good beating!
Leaving the Hundred Household Office, we passed through the East Market.

But the East Market had returned to order, with merchants and vendors shouting loudly, brothels and taverns bustling with noise, and streets and alleys crowded with people.

The number of able-bodied men and women responsible for patrolling has greatly increased.

The thugs and hooligans were nowhere to be seen.

Before the storm is brewing, it is these most vulnerable creatures—snakes, insects, rats, and ants—that are the first to sense the danger.

I just left the East Market.

Just then, a burly man dressed as a mountain hunter strode over, carrying a basket.

Inside the basket were several chubby, round puppies.

Su Mo immediately became interested!

Dogs only become obedient when they are trained from a young age.

He stepped forward and stopped the hunter.

"Hey bro, how much for these puppies?"

The hunter looked at Su Mo and saw that Su Mo had an extraordinary bearing and fair skin, and was obviously a young master from a noble family.

He quickly put down the basket and said respectfully, "My lord, if you want all of these puppies, it's forty coins each; if you want to pick them out carefully, it's fifty coins each!"

Su Mo was stunned: "Why is it so expensive?"

"Big money or small money?"

The hunter replied, "My lord, it's a large sum of money."

Su Mo frowned: "Are you trying to trick me?"

Rice costs only five to eight mace per pound.

This puppy looks to weigh no more than two or three pounds, yet it's worth fifty coins?
The hunter quickly explained, "My lord, you don't know this, but my litter of puppies is different from ordinary puppies."

"This is the offspring of my mountain dog and the white wolf in the mountains."

"These puppies, once they grow up, will be obedient and fierce. If they are fed raw meat regularly, they will dare to fight bears and tigers, unlike any other breed!"

Su Mo blinked.

Isn't that a wolfhound?
Although the price is a bit high, it looks really good, with a pointed beak, thick front paws, and bright, piercing eyes.

Su Mo immediately said, "How about forty-five coins? I'll take two!" The hunter hesitated for a moment, then replied, "At least forty-eight coins!"

Su Mo: "Forty-seven!"

The hunter sighed: "Just as you say, sir!"

Su Mo then examined the seven or eight mountain dogs more closely.

Most of them have bluish-green fur.

Only one was pure white, without a single stray hair, with particularly large claws. Despite its small size, its eyes already held a fierce glint, and it kept baring its teeth and growling at Su Mo.

The hunter said he was born of a white wolf from the mountains, and he was not lying.

Su Mo took a liking to this guy at first sight.

When it comes to guarding a house, the fiercer the better!

In this day and age, there are no regulations prohibiting the keeping of fierce dogs.

If you're so capable, you could even catch a tiger and raise it!

The white mountain dog growled in a show of force, and the other puppies all avoided it in fear, except for a skinny little puppy with red and blue fur, who showed no fear whatsoever.

"These are the only two!"

Su Mo picked out the white dog and the red-and-blue dog, took out a piece of silver from his purse, weighed it in his hand, and handed it to the hunter.

"I didn't bring any big money, but this loose silver is worth a hundred coins!"

"Young master has a good eye! These two puppies are the best two in this litter!"

The hunter praised Su Mo while taking the loose silver and biting into it.

"This silver is worth more than a hundred coins!"

Then, frowning, he calculated for a moment: "I... it seems I have to return sixteen coins to you, sir?"

Su Mo smiled and said, "Six coins is correct!"

The hunter scratched his head and grinned, "My lord is honest!"

After saying that, he took out six large coins and handed them to Su Mo.

He then instructed Su Mo, "My lord, this dog has a wolf-like nature and is extremely wild. You must keep it tightly bound before you tame it, lest it run away and hurt someone!"

Su Mo laughed and said, "Of course I know!"

He carried a puppy in each hand back to the Su residence.

With none of the three women around, the place felt empty and lifeless.

Su Mo found a rope, tied the two dogs up, and cut a piece of cured meat for each of them and threw it over.

The two dogs sniffed warily, but did not eat.

It then barked and barked at Su Mo!

Su Mo had no experience raising dogs, but she figured the puppies would eat when they got hungry.

Let's name the two dogs first, so they'll be easier to train later.

Su Mo looked at the snow-white creature, its fierce aura like a little tiger: "You can call yourself White Tiger!"

His gaze fell on the red-and-blue dog.

The dog has an oval-shaped white patch on its lower neck, which looks like a capsule.

"Meatball? That doesn't sound good! Medicine pill sounds better!"

From now on, I'll call you Pill!

I just named the two dogs.

Suddenly, a voice called out from outside the courtyard: "Brother Su, are you there?"

Su Mo was stunned.

Xue Yishu?
Didn't she go back to the county government office?
How could it have escaped?

Although Xue Shan and Wang Shi have already decided to marry her to him, they shouldn't prevent Xue Yishu from meeting him.
You just said he was conservative, wanting to marry his daughter to you after only one night, how come you're so open-minded now?
The change in attitude was so sudden that Su Mo found it hard to accept.

Even if you live in your home for a year in the future, it may not be yours!

Su Mo opened the door with a belly full of suspicion.

As expected, it was Xue Yishu who arrived.

Su Mo couldn't help but ask, "Why are you here?"

"Did Magistrate Xue and your mother agree to your coming?"

Xue Yishu took out a folding fan, flicked it, and chuckled, "I have a brilliant plan!"

He immediately became worried again: "How is Miss Chen's situation?"

Su Mo smiled and said, "It shouldn't be a big problem."

"They should be back in just a few days!"

Xue Yishu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good!"

As he spoke, he stepped into the courtyard.
