Chapter 53: The man is like iron, shocked by the beautiful cloud
At this moment, three words flashed through the heart of County Magistrate Lu:
"Sentence of the Fame"!
Tonight, he took so many stolen goods from Hu Shang through Shen Mo's hands. So it can be imagined that when this period of time passed, when he remembered this incident again, he would definitely feel a little grudge against Shen Mo.
Because Lu Yue, as a superior, this time his greedy behavior fell into the eyes of his subordinates, which was a solid handle!
However, Shen Mo immediately asked him for this pair of iron ingots. The relationship between the two of them suddenly changed, from "giving people a handle" to "jointly with the flow"!
There is a conventional saying in the officialdom that even if you do ten good things for Shangguan, it is not as useful as doing something bad with Shangguan.
In this way, if Shen Mo spread the news of the treasures of Hu Shang, it would actually be like harming himself. Shen Mo naturally had no possibility of reporting him. This time, Lu Yue could be relieved, and Shen Mo himself could no longer worry about County Magistrate Lu's suspicion of him!
"This Shen Mo with a slight orifice and a delicate heart!" County Magistrate Lu couldn't help but grit his teeth secretly when he thought of this.
"I don't know how this guy's heart is. How could he be so insightful about these things in the officialdom and have the ease of being able to see the fire?"
"It seems that if I can't figure out something in my career, I might need him to remind me!" As soon as the idea of County Magistrate Lu was, he became more and more shocked when he thought about it.
For a moment, he felt that Shen Mo in front of him was becoming more and more unfathomable!
County Magistrate Lu was grateful, so he walked to the table without hesitation and picked up the two iron ingots and handed them to Shen Mo with his own hands.
"Captain Shen, it's really thanks to you this time!"
After the conversation between the two of them before, the county magistrate Ru's mind became more determined to win over Shen Mo. This time, he and Shen Mo were really his own people!
"Oh! And." County Magistrate Lu suddenly remembered something in his heart. He turned around and took a bag of pearls the size of a fist from the table and stuffed them into Shen Mo's hand.
"I heard that you have recently married a new wife," said County Magistrate Lu with a smile: "In order to be busy with this case, you have not returned home for several days or nights. The newlywed wife stayed alone in the empty room. She also went back like a mud monkey on her body... You told Mrs. Zun that I apologized for her."
"How dare I!" Although Shen Mo delayed his words, he took the bag with a smile.
County Magistrate Lu did this obviously because he expressed his affectionately to Shen Mo, which also showed that he really treated Shen Mo as an outsider.
As a result, both of them felt a little sympathetic in their hearts. The scene was very harmonious and casual in the moment. Both of them felt like they could meet their confidants in their lives.
After Shen Mo said goodbye, County Magistrate Lu looked at the table of dazzling treasures, and stood in the middle of the room for a long time. Then, he sighed a long time!
At this moment, he thought to himself: Shen Mo is such a rare talent. Fortunately, he stood on my side!
...
When Shen Mo left the county government, he finally put a big stone in his heart.
To be honest, even though he got along very well with County Magistrate Lu before, with the crackdown of this case, the situation has changed, and the relationship between the two has returned to the starting point.
After all, he is an official, and he is just a poor little captain. If County Magistrate Lu takes advantage of him and still takes some care and courtesy to him, he can be said to be a rare benevolent person in the world.
Now if Shen Mo wants to go straight, he can only use this line from County Magistrate Lu. If he wants to firmly grasp this line, he must make County Magistrate Lu realize that he has greater value in use!
That's why Shen Mo showed his keen sense of smell in the officialdom in front of County Magistrate Lu. Of course, this is just one aspect.
On the other hand, he also tried his best to find a way to tie County Magistrate Lu and himself together. The relationship between them must be further improved!
It was because of this that Shen Mo made plans early. In fact, that Monia did not have to die, but in order to prepare the treasures that bribed superiors to County Magistrate Lu, Shen Mo still killed him.
Because once Monia died, no one knew the specific number of those treasures. Meng Xiaoyi? That guy was just Monia's kid. Even if you put these treasures in front of him, he might not be able to recognize them.
Now, Shen Mo's letter of fame has been handed over. His relationship with County Magistrate Lu has become a close friend who can talk about everything. All his plans have been implemented step by step.
While the status of County Magistrate Lu has risen in the officialdom, Shen Mo also has the opportunity to take advantage of the situation with this trend!
"The good wind will send me to Qingyun with its power!" Shen Mo smiled and walked step by step into the darkness of the streets and alleys.
On him, this restless soul from modern times finally revealed its sharp and hideous minions.
Now Shen Mo has realized that in the Southern Song Dynasty, a world of rich and chaotic wealth, he wants to protect himself and those whom he cherishes. What he can rely on must not be the kindness of others, but his own strength!
The next few days were all safe and the magistrate Lu went to take the treasures and handle some things up and down. Shen Mo was happy and leisurely.
His mortal enemy Wei Jiao knew that Shen Mo was in the limelight now and had no good idea to make things difficult for him, but he honestly did not attack him.
But this county magistrate didn't know. If anyone dared to touch Shen Mo now, he would openly shave off the eyebrows of County Magistrate Lu!
Shen Mo gave his friend Lu Qiang dozens of taels of silver, saying that it was rewarded by the county magistrate Lu in private, and the two brothers shared the benefits. Lu Qiang refused but had to accept it, but he was grateful to Shen Mo.
Lu Qiang thought to himself: Brother Shen is such a man. He doesn't come to him for help when he is so poor that he doesn't come to him for help. Now that he has money, he is the first to think of him! If Lu Qiang has the chance, he must repay Shen Dalang.
Seeing the spring in Lin'an City fading and the weather slowly began to get hotter, Shen Mo finally moved.
Outside Qiantang Gate, Shen Mo rented a small yard. He wanted to buy a house, but after asking, he found out that the housing prices in Lin'an during the Southern Song Dynasty could scare you to death!
Even the senior officials of the sixth central government department even rented houses, so the single officials simply lived in the official guest house.
The yard rented by Shen Mo is two miles away from the city gate, facing the street, and the traffic is convenient. However, when entering inside, it is extremely quiet, which is Shen Mo's favorite place to take quietness in the midst of the noise.
Without saying anything, the furniture was replaced with new ones, and all the home furnishings were purchased neatly. Shen Mo also hired an old couple, both around fifty years old, and lived in the gatehouse in the yard.
The husband of this old couple is called Uncle Jiang, and his wife is naturally Jiang.
On weekdays, Uncle Jiang even took care of the door and did some chores at home. Jiang was responsible for the rough work of purchasing and cooking, and also saved Xiao Fu from showing up at the market to buy vegetables at a price all day long.
After settling down, Lu Yunbai pulled Shen Mo that night and said to him worriedly: "There is not much money in the family, how can you spend it like this?"
"We have to save a little more and give it to the children in the future..." Yunbai said this and then said, "It will be better for our children to enter school and marry a wife in the future. If we spend so much money, how many days will this little money be spent?"
"Ha! Shen Mo is so lucky to have a virtuous family!" Shen Mo smiled and grabbed Yun Pai's hand: "Come with me."
When Yunmai followed Shen Mo to the inner room, Shen Mo bent down and pulled out a box as big as a pillow from under their beds.
After Shen Mo opened the box, Yunmai looked inside and felt a "buzzing!" in her head!
