High Martial Arts: First day of dropping out of school, reward: Devouring the Emperor's Body

Xiao Se's words made Li Mo frown.

The current government has a total of six standing committee members, who are responsible for handling national affairs and making decisions.

In other words, these six people represent the highest power in the Great Xia Dynasty, and are therefore privately known as the Six Supreme Powers of the Great Xia Dynasty.

If the mole incident involves these six people, even just one of them, it would be enough to cause great turmoil in the country.

Even though Li Mo doesn't like politicians, he doesn't want this kind of thing to happen.

He then quickly asked Xiao Se, "Commander Xiao, have you found out?"

Xiao Se shook his head helplessly: "When it comes to matters involving that person, how can it be so easy to find out?"

These people in high-ranking government positions have all passed rigorous political vetting, meaning that once concrete evidence is found, they are definitely traitors rather than spies of enemy countries!

Betrayal by one's own people is more despicable than espionage by an enemy country!

Seeing this, Li Mo could only sigh and say, "You've worked hard."

However, compared to the traitors in the capital, Xiao Se was more worried about Li Mo's situation at this moment.

"Don't even mention me, your situation is much more difficult than mine! I heard from a friend who works in the government that the Mississippi Mountain region has infuriated the top brass, and most government officials disagree with you taking over the Mississippi Mountain region!"

"The army controlling finances is a grave taboo! It's no different from treason! You'll inevitably face countless obstacles on your trip to the capital, so be careful! If you encounter any trouble, our garrison can secretly assist you!"

Faced with Xiao Se's advice and sincere help, how could Li Mo not understand?

In fact, he had long understood that it was taboo for the military to control finances, but Zhao Zhenyuan spoke with such sincerity, and the government was indeed suspicious of the military. This was a desperate counterattack, so Li Mo took on this hot potato.

Now that he has chosen to accept the task, he will complete it no matter how many obstacles there are.

At this moment, Xiao Se led everyone to a magnificent complex of buildings.

This building complex covers tens of thousands of square meters and contains more than twenty buildings. The decrees of the Great Xia Dynasty are basically sent out from this place.

This is the highest governmental authority of the Great Xia Dynasty: the Parliament Hall!

Having delivered him here, Xiao Se patted Li Mo on the shoulder and continued, "This is as far as I can take you. Be careful!"

Li Mo nodded slightly, and then saw a group of high-ranking government officials coming to greet their military delegation.

"Marshal Zhao, what a magnificent display of courage! The battle at the Seven Yuan Mountains truly showcased the might of our Great Xia!"

"Haha! Marshal Zhao has only been a marshal for two or three years, yet he has already achieved so much! It's probably only a matter of time before he rivals Marshal Yue!"

Although these politicians secretly enjoyed causing trouble, they did an excellent job of putting on a show, showering the delegation with praise.

Regardless, the Great Xia Dynasty has indeed won a great victory this time, and public opinion is boiling. They cannot go against public opinion.

However, Li Mo's first hurdle soon appeared.

Just as Li Mo was about to follow Zhao Zhenyuan and others into the National Assembly hall to receive government commendation, a fat man with big ears suddenly appeared in front of him and blocked his way.

"Who are you?" Li Mo raised an eyebrow.

Then the man showed his ID card, and unexpectedly, he held a high-ranking position, namely the Deputy Minister of the Quartermaster Department, named Zheng Shaoqiu.

Zheng Shaoqiu glared at them and then ordered his men to surround all the members of Li Mo's Independent Regiment.

"Li Mo, I know you confiscated a batch of weapons and equipment from the White European Empire, but after seizing the weapons and equipment, you didn't hand them over; instead, you kept them for your own use! Is that true?"

"As the deputy minister of the Quartermaster Department, I must tell you that your actions violate military discipline! According to the law, I must temporarily suspend you from your duties and subject you to a military court trial. Do you have any objections?"

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell from these words that Zheng Shaoqiu, the deputy minister of the military supplies department, was there to cause trouble.

As everyone knows, Li Mo was the biggest contributor to the Battle of the Seven Yuan Mountains. Not to mention temporarily withholding the equipment from the White European Empire, it wouldn't be a big problem even if he really took it for his own use.

The only problem was that, due to the time constraints, the equipment was pulled out before it could be registered, because as the vanguard, he had to be the first to rush to the battlefield.

Zheng Shao Kui made a big deal out of such a trivial matter, and his intentions were obvious.

Moreover, as the deputy minister of the supply department, he did indeed have management authority.

Li Mo's men immediately started swearing.

Xu Feng spoke first: "You son of a bitch, Zheng, what do you mean? We won the battle, is it really worth making such a big deal out of this?"

Qin Zhengnan chimed in, "Exactly! You were nowhere to be seen during the war, but now you're standing here barking like a dog!"

Faced with the two men's accusations, Zheng Shaoqiu remained calm and composed.

"A trivial matter? Is this a trivial matter? Don't think that just because you won a battle you can do whatever you want!"

"If all the generals in the army were like you, where would the discipline of the army be? Let me make some malicious speculations: what if you sell these weapons privately, and they end up in the hands of civilians? Our people's property and safety would be threatened!"

Zheng Shaoqiu, as expected of a high-ranking government official, made a statement that was clearly a distortion of the facts, yet he spoke with righteous indignation.

In reality, he was just targeting Li Mo. Once Li Mo steps down and actually faces a military court, his resume will be tarnished, and the government can then use this as an excuse to make a big fuss, and his garrisoning of troops in the Mississippi Mountains will naturally be dropped.

Zhao Zhenyuan naturally understood this as well. After Li Mo was threatened, he immediately went to Zheng Shaoqiu's side and said, "Vice Minister Zheng, I need to explain something about this. Li Mo and his group's misappropriation of weapons was permitted by me!"

"At the time, the military situation was urgent. Li Mo was to act as the vanguard to stop the Black Soil Tribe's advance. Therefore, in this emergency, he took the weapons without registering them..."

Generally speaking, if the marshal has said that, then Zheng Shaoqiu, the deputy minister, wouldn't be too aggressive.

However, Zheng Shaoqiu seemed to have swallowed gunpowder, continuing, "Marshal Zhao, even you can't take weapons without registration! Otherwise, what's the point of our Quartermaster Department? Li Mo's problem may seem minor, but it affects military discipline and regulations!"

Seeing that Zheng Shaoqiu was about to give another speech, Li Mo impatiently gave Zheng Jiahao a wink.

Zheng Jiahao understood immediately and handed several forms to Zheng Shaoqiu.

Zheng Shaoqiu was stunned when he saw the form.

Those slips of paper turned out to be the armory's registration forms, complete with the signature of the person in charge.

Given Li Mo's attention to detail, how could he not know that captured supplies needed to be registered first? Therefore, he had already completed the registration, but Zheng Shaoqiu was unaware of it.
