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

Chapter 76 My lord, you are testing my patience!

Su Mo dared to keep the county magistrate waiting.

He, Lü Shan, wouldn't dare.

What if the county magistrate thinks that he delayed Su Mo?

Lu Shan hurriedly patted his chest and said, "Lord Su!"

"Leave Miss Chen and Brother Qin's matter to me!"

"The county magistrate must have important business to discuss with Magistrate Su. Magistrate Su should hurry over and not delay important matters!"

Su Mo frowned, then nodded finally: "Then I'll have to trouble Officer Lü!"

Lü Shan quickly smiled and said, "It was nothing, Su Ya, there's no need to be so polite!"

Su Mo followed Dong Yangrong to the side hall of the second hall.

Sure enough, Xue Shan was waiting in the side hall.

Upon seeing Su Mo enter, Xue Shan greeted her with a smile and invited her to sit down.

He even personally poured tea for Su Mo.

Su Mo had assumed that Xue Shan had contacted him about the locust plague, such as asking him to stabilize grain prices in the East Market.

The result was that Xue Yishu moved into the Su residence, causing trouble for herself.

After going around in circles for ages, we still haven't gotten to the point.

Su Mo suspected that he was hinting at her, so she quickly went to his house to propose marriage.

When he saw Xue Shan take out a packet of tea leaves and brew tea again, he suddenly realized what was going on!
your sister!
No wonder Wang Xiuzhi said with a look of disdain that this guy was obsessed with officialdom!
I'm drinking Yanshan tea for myself!

I'm here to strive for improvement!
Seeing Su Mo's expression, Xue Shan knew that he understood what he meant, so he patted Su Mo's shoulder warmly and told Su Mo to get on with his work!

Su Mo hadn't gone far from the side hall.

Dong Yangrong reappeared furtively.

He secretly slipped a small cloth bag into Su Mo's hand.

He sighed and said, "Lord Su, I have been in Changping County for six years, and my longing for home grows stronger every day!"

"As the clerk, I really can't bear to see my master in this state, so I can only swallow my pride and hope that Magistrate Su will put in a good word for him with Lord Lin!"

As he spoke, he slipped another silver ingot to Su Mo.

Su Mo subconsciously weighed it in her mind.

Eh?
The portion is incorrect!

I glanced at it out of the corner of my eye.

It was gleaming gold, a gold ingot, probably weighing less than ten taels!

Xue Shan, what a grand gesture!
Could the bag also contain gold?
It weighs several dozen taels!

The county magistrate's annual salary is only fifty taels of silver. Xue Shan has been working for six years without eating or drinking, and he has only earned three hundred taels.
Did he take out six or seven hundred taels at once?
He even gave himself a full 100 taels as a reward for his hard work!

Where did this money come from?
You can't be too polite to someone who gives you money, especially when they're your future father-in-law!
Su Mo, ever the shrewd one, said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Mr. Dong!"

"Boy, go to the Embroidered Uniform Guard right now!"

Of course, he wouldn't stay here and wait for his uncle to bring the money back.

Why would a junior officer like him throw in a hundred taels of silver for no reason?
Your money doesn't come from the wind.

Su Mo put the gold ingot into her money bag.

Then they went straight to the Hundred Household Office.

This time, we entered the compound of the Hundred Households Office without any hindrance.

As soon as they entered, they saw Gao Xin and a strongman walking towards them.

Gao Xin's eyes lit up, and he strode over: "Brother Su... you've come to see Commander Bai again?"

Another strongman quickly greeted Su Mo, "Hello, Brother Su!"

Su Mo nodded to the strongman, then turned to Gao Xin: "Brother Gao, it's been a long time."

"Is the centurion in the office?"

When Gao Xin heard Su Mo call him "Brother Gao" again, his back seemed to straighten up considerably, and he quickly smiled and said, "I'm here!"

He paused, then said, "Brother Su, you've come at just the right time!"

"Today is the day for payday."

"Brother Su, remember to go to the warehouse to collect your salary. If you go too late, your salary will be depleted and you won't be able to get it back until next month!"

Su Mo's eyes lit up: "I've only been here a few days, and I can still receive a salary?"

Gao Xin snorted and said, "Of course!"

"If the warehouse dares to withhold Brother Su's salary, we, the strongmen, will not let them off the hook!"

The strongman beside him chimed in, "Brother Gao is right!"

“Now that you’ve received your warrant, you’re a brother of the garrison, so why can’t you receive that salary!” Su Mo laughed. “Alright!”

"After I collect my salary, I'll call up the brothers from the strongmen's group tonight, find a tavern, and have a good drink. I'll treat!"

Gao Xin gave a thumbs up: "Brother, you're awesome!"

"I'll go and inform the other brothers right away!"

Su Mo bid farewell to the two.

They arrived at the Office of the Hundred Households.

To my surprise, I saw a number of people waiting outside the government office, including a captain and two junior officers.

Su Mo had only been to the Hundred Household Office three or four times. He wasn't familiar with them, didn't even know their names, and was too lazy to greet them. He simply waited patiently at the back of the line.

The flag officer, who looked like a skinny monkey, took the initiative to greet Su Mo: "You've also come to report to the centurion?"

Su Mo didn't know them.

But how could they not know the most popular man in the Hundred Households Office!

Su Mo quickly replied, "Commander-in-Chief, this humble servant does indeed have something to discuss with Lord Lin!"

The skinny captain laughed and said, "Your business is more important, you go first!"

Su Mo frowned: "Isn't this a bad idea?"

"Brothers, the flag officer has been waiting here for quite some time..."

The captain grabbed Su Mo and pulled her over: "If I say it's okay, then it's okay!"

The head of the Imperial Guard's Hundred Household Office is the third rank below the deputy head of the Hundred Household Office. Even if the Imperial Guards present had any objections, they had to keep them to themselves!
Seeing how enthusiastic they were, Su Mo could only nod and say, "This humble one thanks you, Commander!"

Skinny Monkey, the captain, patted Su Mo on the shoulder: "No need to thank me! We're all brothers, no need to be so polite!"

Su Mo walked to the entrance of the government office and said in a deep voice, "This humble servant, Su Mo, has something to ask of you, sir!"

After a few moments, Lin Moyin's cold voice came from inside: "Come in!"

Su Mo entered the government office.

Then a burly man, who appeared to be a deputy centurion surnamed Chu, emerged from behind the screen.

Chu Baihu also participated in the battle last night. His strength is considerable, definitely at the level of a first-class expert. Many cultists died under his straight blade.

Su Mo immediately bowed to the other party.

Commander Chu smiled and nodded in response, then walked out of the office and closed the door behind him.

Lin Moyin put down her pen and rubbed her temples.

His gaze fell on Su Mo.

With a flick of his wrist, the bookshelf behind him slid down, revealing a dark secret passage.

"Come in!"

After saying that, he got up and walked towards the secret passage.

Su Mo couldn't help but recall what had happened the day before.

He quickly replied, "Lord Lin, I really have something to discuss with you!"

The female commander turned around and gave a mocking sneer: "You were so audacious last night, how come you're as cowardly as a mouse today?"

Su Mo exclaimed, "Oh my god!"
Scholars can be killed but not humiliated!
So what if he gets sucked dry?
After the pain subsides, one can replenish their energy and greatly increase their magical power.

Who is afraid of whom!

Anyway, I'm not the one who suffers the loss!
He exhaled, and ahead of the female demon, head held high, he stepped into the secret passage first!

Once inside the secret room, he very consciously took off his robes in a few quick movements.

He revealed his strong, muscular upper body and looked defiantly at the female demon!
The female demon is also a ruthless person with maxed-out execution ability.

Pull the rope.

The bright red cloak fell down.

Then came the white, fitted horse-face skirt, with only the innermost layer of sheer undergarment remaining.

Her stunning figure, flawless and impeccable, was faintly visible through the light gauze!

Su Mo snorted.

Even though the body disagrees!

But this female demon is definitely not my type!
Just as he was preparing to sit cross-legged and practice his exercises.

Suddenly, the female demon raised her hand slightly again.

A sheer undergarment drifted slowly to the ground...

Su Mo's eyes widened suddenly, and her breathing became rapid!

If your body doesn't agree, add another 60 degrees!
We've already sped up the plot as quickly as possible, and even cut out the scenes of scheming against the county magistrate, but we still misjudged the pace. The exciting part will have to wait until tomorrow... Tomorrow, we'll teach that devil a lesson!
