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

Chapter 69 The secret code for the rendezvous is right! But the person who came is wrong!

Chen Ping felt a chill run down his spine, realizing that Su Mo's aura was even more terrifying than Zhong Sanyuan's, but he quickly smiled and said, "Don't worry, Boss Su!"

"We naturally know the rules!"

"If Su tells us to go east, we promise we won't go west! If he tells us to kill a chicken, we'll never slaughter a dog!"

His former boss now flatters Su Mo without any hesitation!

The other constables nodded in agreement.

Su Mo smiled and said, "Alright!"

"Tomorrow, our yamen will inspect the East Market. You will go and keep watch, and make sure there is no chaos in the East Market."

Chen Ping patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry, Boss Su!"

"Anyone who causes trouble in the East Market is going against Boss Su!"

"Going against Su Tou is going against us! We guarantee he won't be able to make a living either!"

"Am I right?"

One of the constables replied with a smile, "We'll show them the power of the shackles of the yamen!"

The constables bowed to Su Mo and said goodbye one after another.

Su Mo then turned her gaze to Du Zhongbai, who looked somewhat uneasy.

"Mr. Du, would you mind coming to my study for a chat?"

Du Zhongbai immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He simply couldn't bring himself to publicly pledge his loyalty to Su Mo like the yamen runners did!
I was worried that Su Mo, being young and impetuous, would lose face and drive him away!

He quickly nodded and replied, "I dare not disobey Lord Su's wishes!"

The two went to the study.

Without further hesitation, Du Zhongbai presented the letter of recommendation given to him by Ma Yingshi with both hands.

Su Mo took it, opened it, and took a look.

"Mr. Du, please have a seat!"

Du Zhongbai quickly replied, "I wouldn't dare! I wouldn't dare!"

Su Mo didn't force him, and slowly said, "Ma Dianshi is a sensible person."

"To be honest, Mr. Du, I do intend to bring him down. I'm sure you won't doubt my ability to do so!"

Du Zhongbai nodded: "That's right!"

Su Mo frowned and pondered: "My uncle once said that if you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will surely become a disaster."

"Logically speaking, we should not let Ma Dianshi go."

Du Zhongbai's expression changed instantly. Just as he was about to speak, Su Mo waved his hand to stop him: "However, since Clerk Ma has decided to leave Changping and has recommended a talent like Mr. Du to me..."

"I'm too embarrassed to exterminate them all!"

Du Zhongbai quickly said, "Given the current status of the Su family, the Master... Clerk Ma can no longer pose a threat to the Su family."

"Killing him would only tarnish the reputation of the Su family and leave people with the impression that he is vindictive!"

Su Mo shook her head: "No!"

"The reason I spared his life is not because he posed no threat."

"However, killing him might mean losing a talent like you, Mr. Du!"

"Sir's abilities are no less than those of Mr. Dong, as everyone in the yamen knows. How could we bear to let him go!"

Du Zhongbai's eyes instantly turned red.

The feeling of "a scholar would die for one who understands him" welled up within him, and he immediately bowed deeply to Su Mo, saying, "What virtue or ability do I possess to deserve such praise from you, Master?"

"From now on, I, Du, will devote myself wholeheartedly to providing advice and strategies for the Master!"

Su Mo was in a great mood!

He was about to make a name for himself, but he only had a few lackeys, and none of them, like the female knight-errant Chen, seemed reliable.

Now we've finally got a great general!
He smiled and changed the subject: "I will take over the East Market immediately."

"But we have no idea how to manage this market. Do you have any suggestions, sir?"

Du Zhongbai had already considered this issue. His expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "The profits from the East and West markets are enormous. Now that the East market has fallen into the hands of Master Dong, if managed properly, it can become Master Dong's foundation and a ladder to officialdom!"

He certainly didn't want to be a clerk in a yamen for the rest of his life.

Naturally, they tried to help Su Mo, hoping to use the profits from the East Market to obtain an official position, which couldn't be lower than that of a clerk!
Su Mo's eyes lit up: "Go on!"

Du Zhongbai continued without hesitation, "Luo Lie doesn't know how to make a living, and the management of the East Market is chaotic and disorganized; he only knows how to extort..."

"When you take over the East Market, you must not seek short-term gains. You should first reorganize the East Market, summon its major merchants, and establish rules..."

Su Mo's eyes lit up more and more as she listened!

No wonder he became a legal advisor.

That's quite insightful!
Many of the suggestions coincided with my own.

There are even some things that I couldn't have considered.

Of course, given the limitations of the era, some of Du Zhongbai's suggestions seemed too conservative, and he was rather cautious in taking steps. But it's not a big problem, since he still has to oversee things himself!

The two talked for more than an hour!

Du Zhongbai then took his leave.

Su Mo was in a great mood!

No wonder officials seek the assistance of advisors before taking office.

With Du Zhongbai's help, there's no need to watch over the East Market all day.

With some guidance from above, Du Zhongbai will naturally handle things perfectly!

This is the correct way to understand time travel.

I came here to enjoy myself, not to work hard to benefit the people!
He went to see the young widow in a good mood.

But he hadn't forgotten the main purpose of his visit to the Qin residence.

Just then, I saw the young widow by the bed, bending down to cover Diandian, who was taking a nap, with a blanket.

Her waist is so slender it could be grasped in one hand, her curves are like a perfect peach.

Su Mo got excited as soon as she saw it!
Suddenly, he hugged me from behind!
The young widow was immediately startled.

Upon noticing that Su Mo had already lifted her skirt, she exclaimed urgently, "Su Lang, you mustn't!"

"Dian Dian... um... umm... Dian Dian just fell asleep... don't wake her..."

"How about... a side room... um..."

Su Mo: "Okay!"

He lifted the young widow in his arms and strode toward the side room!

……

Su Mo felt it was time to find a housekeeper and a few maids to serve him.

The young widow was afraid that Dian Dian would wake up, so she only cooperated for a little over half an hour before refusing to do it again.

Su Mo had no choice but to give up!

After leaving the Qin residence, I went to my uncle's house to inquire and learned that my uncle had indeed not returned.

However, I learned this from my aunt, Madam Qian.

My uncle had Meng Bazi and Zhang Si buy more than ten shi (a unit of dry measure) of rice and grain, which they then stored in the cellar.

Su Mo was relieved.

My uncle bought more rice than this; the rest he hid elsewhere.

Back at home.

Nothing happened.

The magistrate's daughter, a literary and artistic young woman, continued to be so, frowning as she leaned over her desk as if writing some kind of poem.

Meanwhile, Lady Chen practiced martial arts in the courtyard.

His movements were agile, and the sword light was graceful; it was truly a feast for the eyes.

She only stopped when Su Mo asked her to practice cooking.

That evening, Su Mo sat cross-legged and practiced breathing exercises, completing a full cycle. He felt refreshed and his magical power seemed to have increased significantly.

Suddenly, two long and two short sounds came from the side door.

Su Mo was stunned.

It's not even 9 PM yet, why are you here so soon tonight?

Could it be that she didn't have enough fun this morning either?
I quickly went out into the yard, opened the door, and took a look.

Then he was stunned.

"Lord Centurion? What are you doing here?"

Lin Moyin snorted coldly: "Why can't it be me?"

"Could it be that only that young widow would knock on your door in the middle of the night?"

She paused, then said coldly, "Now come with me to the Dragon Gate Cave!"

Su Mo was immediately stunned: "Didn't I say that I wouldn't go to the Dragon Gate Cave? You agreed to that, sir!"

Lin Moyin said slowly, "I have changed my mind!"

Su Mo exclaimed in alarm, "My lord, how could you do this!"

Lin Moyin said expressionlessly, "Fine, I'll ask you one more time, are you going or not!"

Su Mo replied without hesitation: "This humble servant will not..."

The words were not finished.

Before my eyes blurred, I was suddenly caught between the waists of the female demon...

Su Mo was instantly furious, cursing Lin Moyin under her breath!
The female demon, with Su Mo between her legs, leaped onto the Rouge Horse!

Important Notice: The story almost didn't make it onto the Sanjiang list. The editor wanted it published immediately to make money, but I'm not willing to give up and think I can try again for another week! However, there are too many free words, so next week's publication will likely be a paid subscription. These free chapters will then have to be paid, so brothers, don't wait for updates! Also, sometimes there might not be an update, not because I forgot, but because it might be blocked, you know what I mean! Finally, this female demon's treatment of the protagonist is intolerable! The next chapter will teach her a lesson!
