"This... where did you get it?" County Magistrate Lu was almost dazzled by the treasure in front of him. He asked Shen Mo in fear.

"He knew the most what goods Apu brought among the treasures brought by the Hu merchants. But how could he know what other merchants had in the cages?" Shen Mo said with a smile.

"When I registered these stolen goods, my subordinates specially left these most valuable treasures for you, the county master..."

"You are so bold!" County Magistrate Lu lowered his voice desperately, staring at Shen Mo with his eyes straight and said, "How dare you..."

"Mr. County Master", although Shen Mo was scolded by County Magistrate Lu, there was no guilty expression on his face. He only said calmly:

"After the case was completed, my subordinates wrote a storytelling in the past few days, gathered several artists from the streets and alleys, and told stories about adults solving cases every day in the tiles. Among the people, adults' reputation has now risen."

"I know that adults have a lofty ambition in their hearts and want to be in the court and do their next big career. But have you ever thought about it?"

When Shen Mo said this, he said with a heavy expression: "Mr. Lu wants to serve the country and the people and display his ambitions. Can you reach the top with your ability alone?"

"The officialdom is now dirty. Is it possible to have the ability and ambitions?"

"Ah?" Shen Mo's words touched the thoughts of County Magistrate Lu. He was shocked when he heard this!

"Now the limelight is in full swing, and the rise is just around the corner." Shen Mo said thoughtfully: "It's just that at this critical moment, if you refuse to give up your attitude and make some progress, it is still unknown whether you can get promoted this step!"

"Yes!" After hearing these words, County Magistrate Lu suddenly showed a blank look on his face, and his body fell down on the chair.

In fact, he knew the current situation in the officialdom. No matter how capable you are, if you don’t give Shangguan enough money and management, how easy it is to be promoted?

"I know that the lord has always had the ambition to be a high-spirited person. If he serves as an official, he will definitely benefit the people." Shen Mo continued:

"But if you are as clear as water, just like Bao Longtu back then, I guarantee that you will not be able to move forward in this Lin'an officialdom!"

"You... are right!" County Magistrate Lu's expression was depressed. Of course, he also understood in his heart that if he refused to join the crowd, he would never dream of rushing into the circle of high-ranking officials in the Song Dynasty.

"These things are all those who died in Hu Shang. The county masters have made revenge on them. If these people know about them, they should be grateful to you." Shen Mo continued:

"What's more, these things are less than 30% of their goods. After Apu sells the remaining treasures and goes back to Dashi, the families of these deceased will still get dozens of times the profit."

"These things from Hu merchants are indecent, but they can help you to a high position and benefit the people. Why not take advantage of the situation?"

When Shen Mo said this, he had already explained all the key points here clearly to the magistrate Lu. He took a step back quietly and waited for the magistrate Lu to decide.

For a moment, the lights in the room flashed, and the lights of the rare treasures on the table were unstable. County Magistrate Lu sat on the chair, pondering like a wooden chicken for a long time, but never spoke.

After a while, Shen Mo heard him sigh.

"Since that's the case, I'll follow your plan." The sound of a dry voice in the voice of County Magistrate Lu said:

"What you said just now is really a good word. You didn't give me these things, and I probably wouldn't know about them. You are all for my own good, and I... accept your affection."

"Mr. Lu is so serious," Shen Mo smiled faintly: "I dare to say, now both my lord and my subordinates are losing and prospering. I want to serve for me for a few more years!"

"Oh!" Shen Mo said this, County Magistrate Lu suddenly sighed with emotion: "With a subordinate like you, Lu must avoid detours in his career for at least twenty years. You... are such a talent!"

"Oh? Also, you actually made me famous?" At this time, County Magistrate Lu suddenly remembered Shen Mo's search for a book-speaking artist to specifically promote the incident where he solved the strange case.

To be honest, if these Southern Song people knew about these modern propaganda tricks in Shen Mo's hands, they would not know how surprised they would be.

The various strange ideas that modern people attract attention, as well as various bizarre tricks used for publicity and promotion, have been almost brought to the extreme after a thousand years. How could these Southern Song people imagine?

This time Shen Mo was just a little trial. As a result, the street market has now spread the magistrate Lu into a god-like figure.

"Sir," Shen Mo said with a smile: "Now, the impact of this case is, whether in the civil or officialdom, we must make full use of it. If you do not take advantage of the situation, if you advance step by step in terms of seniority, when will you have to show your ambitions in your heart?"

"Yes!" County Magistrate Lu secretly recalled in his heart, and felt that the situation he was facing at this time was really good. If he didn't take advantage of the gap, then when would he have to wait?

"There is one more thing..." Shen Mo saw the magistrate Lu sitting there pondering, so he said to the magistrate Lu with a smile. "I still want to ask for a reward from the adults."

"Ah?" County Magistrate Lu was stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized it.

"You are talking about the position of a constable? Of course there is no problem!" County Magistrate Lu said seriously.

"No..." Shen Mo's face looked a little amused and crying. He pointed to the table full of treasures.

On one corner of the table, there are two iron lumps that look like steamed buns. The size and shape of these iron lumps are very similar to the steamed buns, but they emit silver-white light like silver-white light on them.

"These two pieces are called snowflake iron." Shen Mo said with a smile: "The steel forged with it is called Damascus steel.

"When Monia resisted arrest, the scimitar with iron-cut like mud in his hand was made of this kind of steel."

Speaking of this, Shen Mo seemed to smile embarrassedly: "If you are willing, you will reward it to your subordinates. The subordinates will use it to build a treasure sword and use it to protect your safety in the future."

"Ah? That's OK! No problem!" County Magistrate Lu immediately agreed happily. If he hadn't listened to Shen Mo's introduction, he wouldn't know what the two iron buns were. Since Shen Mo wanted it, he would just give it to him.

But this incident was very strange! County Magistrate Lu felt a little moved and turned over Shen Mo's request and thought about it.
