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

Chapter 27 Female Hundred-Household Officer

Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, Dong Yangrong couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

He didn't actually want to come.

You should know that even the county magistrate Xu Feng and the registrar Zhuang Youzhi had to respectfully address him as Mr. Dong!

I have come here in person to attend a yamen runner's celebratory banquet!
They didn't even send an invitation!

That's so embarrassing!
Unfortunately, the old man was too eager to make progress.

The advisor had no choice!
The Embroidered Uniform Guards are the emperor's protégés, able to reach the emperor directly. A well-intentioned word of praise can be ten times more effective than the best evaluation in a major examination!
No one understood Xue Shan's high regard for Su Mo better than his advisor, Dong Yangrong.

The magistrate even wanted to come in person!

Even the thought of getting promoted has become a demonic obsession!
Dong Yangrong immediately stopped the magistrate's idea without hesitation.

If the master of the house has to step in, what use is this advisor?

Pack your things and get out of here!

However, Su Mo's identity is special. If the county magistrate dares to contact him privately, what does that mean?
We can only take this opportunity to come openly and legitimately.

Dong Yangrong composed himself and looked at the shocked crowd with a smile: "What's wrong?"

"You're allowed to come, but I, Dong, can't?"

Lu Shan swallowed hard, then quickly stepped forward and moved a bamboo chair for Master Dong.

"What are you saying, Mr. Dong!"

"Is there any place in the entire Changping County that Mr. Dong cannot go to!"

"Please have a seat, sir!"

Luo Lie cursed under his breath!
What a fine Lü Shan!
He beat me to it!
If I hadn't been so shocked just now, I definitely wouldn't have fallen half a step behind him!
It seems that Su Mo's relationship with the county magistrate is even more outrageous than the rumors suggest!

He glanced at Su Mo with a complicated expression.

Oh shit!

What kind of divine being sprang from that rock?!

Su Mo was also somewhat surprised.

I didn't expect Dong Yangrong to come.

He stepped forward and bowed to Dong Yangrong, saying, "I am overjoyed that you have graced me with your presence, sir. I am only afraid of offending you. How could I dare say that you could not come!"

"Please come in and have a seat, sir!"

Dong Yangrong smiled and said, "No need for you to be so polite, Officer Su."

"Mr. Dong happened to be passing by and saw that there was a lot of noise in the house, so he came in to see what was going on and to join in the fun."

As he spoke, he gestured to Lü Shan to hand the box in his hand to Su Mo: "Perfect timing, Magistrate Xue sent me a packet of tea, so I'll just use it to present to him."

Su Mo was stunned when he heard this.

Dong Yangrong then added, "Although it's not a particularly precious tea variety, it's a well-known local specialty tea from Wu County, and it has a unique flavor!"

This statement came out.

Lu Shan and the others swallowed hard again!
Magistrate Xue, isn't he from Wu County?
Tea from the magistrate's hometown!

Before Su Mo could even grasp the meaning, Chen Qian hurriedly stepped forward and accepted the old tea that Lü Shan offered with both hands: "Su Mo!"

"Hurry up and thank Mr. Dong for his generous gift!"

He then immediately poured tea for Dong Yangrong!

Su Mo immediately bowed to Dong Yangrong and thanked him, saying, "I am too kind to accept such a generous gift from you, sir!"

He paused, then continued, "Officer Luo hunted a wild boar on the mountain yesterday and brought over a pig's head, which is just what we need to share with you, sir!"

Luo Lie exclaimed, "Holy crap!"
What a cunning and vengeful little fox!
He immediately started to criticize himself!

I never let revenge linger overnight!

Dong Yangrong first took a small sip of tea, then jokingly said, "Officer Su, your tea is too coarse; it's really not suitable for entertaining guests."

"It seems that Mr. Dong made the right choice in using this opportunity to offer something to someone else!"

After saying that, he frowned slightly and glanced at Luo Lie: "To be the best among them, the meaning is quite good!"

"Officer Luo is being very thoughtful."

"From now on, you must follow Officer Luo closely and learn how to do things!"

Then he changed the subject: "Unfortunately, the master has something to attend to, which I need to deal with, so dinner will have to be skipped..."

"next time……"

Dong Yangrong hadn't finished speaking yet.

A deep shout came from outside the gate: "Is Su Mo here?"

Su Mo was taken aback upon hearing this and looked towards the gate of the house.

Suddenly, Gao Xin, a strongman of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, appeared outside the Su residence with a long sword at his waist!

The others followed Su Mo's gaze and turned to look behind them.

Then... even quieter than when Dong Yangrong appeared!

Even Dong Yangrong's expression changed slightly, and he immediately swallowed his words.

The Su residence is not large.

The main gate was wide open, and one could see directly into the main hall from outside.

Seeing that the hall was packed with people, Gao Xin didn't come in. Instead, he said in a deep voice, "Brother Su, would it be convenient for you to come out and talk?"

Everyone listened.

They all swallowed hard again.

When was it ever that the Embroidered Uniform Guard would speak to people in such a tone?
Su Mo was secretly delighted.

Is this some kind of drama?
The female centurion finally finished the process and was about to give herself a wrestler's ivory tag.

He quickly apologized to Dong Yangrong.

Hurry out of the house!

Gao Xin lowered his voice: "Brother Su, you'd better come with me to the Hundred-Household Office right now!"

"Commander Lin is looking for you!"

He paused, then added in a low voice, "But I don't know why Commander Lin wants to see you."

Su Mo was even more excited!
"it is good!"

"Please wait a moment, brother, while I go and tell them!"

Gao Xin laughed and said, "It's alright, go ahead!"

Su Mo strode back to the main hall and said with a wry smile to Dong Yangrong and the others, "Mr. Dong, Constable Lü, Constable Luo, and all my colleagues and brothers!"

"I'm really sorry about this, but I have to go out for a bit..."

Dong Yangrong swallowed hard and quickly said with a smile, "Lord Su... since Brother Su has something to attend to, it must be important. Go quickly! There's no need to worry about us!"

Su Mo nodded, then said to Chen Qian, "Third Uncle, you must take good care of Mr. Dong and his party on my behalf, and you must not neglect them."

"My nephew will be right back!"

Chen Qian nodded emphatically: "Hurry up and go, don't keep them waiting!"

Subsequently.

Su Mo and Gao Xin then quickly headed towards the direction of the Hundred Household Office.

Dong Yangrong watched the two figures disappear, without mentioning that he had to leave. He picked up the large porcelain bowl and took a thoughtful sip.

Su Mo hadn't been gone long.

Having just received word of the incident, Chief Constable Zhong Sanyuan rushed to the Su residence with ten taels of silver.

Sure enough, Master Dong was sitting in the second seat, leisurely sipping his tea.

Lü Shan and Luo Lie sat in the lower seats to keep him company.

He broke out in a cold sweat and was about to step forward to meet Mr. Dong.

But then I suddenly realized something was wrong.

Where is Su Mo?
Even if a big shot like Mr. Dong were to come in person, Zhong Sanyuan would have to scramble over to greet him.

Su Mo actually dared not be there?!
……

At this time, Su Mo had already arrived at the Jinyiwei Hundred-Household Office again.

With Gao Xin leading the way, they entered the large house hidden behind high walls without any hindrance.

Once inside, it was a completely different world; the interior was very spacious and unlike any ordinary mansion.

It was so heavily guarded that it resembled a military camp.

There were at least ten guards in brocade uniforms alone.

In addition, there were naturally hidden sentries that Su Mo couldn't see watching over him.

Of course, the current Embroidered Uniform Guard is at its zenith, with a huge number of personnel. It is managed according to military regulations and can truly fight tough battles when deployed to the battlefield; otherwise, it would not dare to call itself the emperor's personal army.

Gao Xin led Su Mo to a side hall and said respectfully, "Reporting to the centurion, I have brought Su Mo here!"

A clear, cold voice immediately came from the side hall: "Let him in!"

Gao Xin turned to look at Su Mo, his expression serious: "Brother Su, please come in!"

Su Mo pushed open the hall door.

The first thing that catches the eye is a welcoming screen.

The screen that welcomes guests is painted with a tiger descending a mountain.

The tiger looked fierce and menacing, as if it would pounce out from behind the screen at any moment, which made Su Mo's heart skip a beat.

Turn around the screen.

Then he saw a stunningly beautiful and aloof female commander sitting behind her desk, looking him over expressionlessly.
