Chapter 103: Chapter 80 Empress’s New Skin! Xu Qingyi’s Gift! (4K)

Tiandu City, Golden Vase Pavilion.

In the elegant room, the sound of strings and bamboos played in successions, as graceful beauties danced swirlingly.

Two men sat on chairs, one with a formidable build, strong like a tiger and a bear, none other than Young Master Yan from the Yan Family, Yan Linghu.

The other had a slimmer figure, with sparse eyebrows and eyes, gray-white pupils, and a somewhat sinister aura, the Fire Department Deputy Commander, Jian Yinsan.

Yan Linghu had an enchanting woman in his embrace, his fan-sized palm kneading inside her collar, his voice deep as a bell, "Mr. Jian, this is a top-notch brew, available only here and even then as a limited supply..."

Jian Yinsan lifted his cup, the liquor swaying, sparkling and translucent, with quite the feel of "a jade cup bearing the luster of amber."

The taste was rich and full-bodied, with the unique fragrance of herbs; the alcohol was potent but did not irritate the throat, the flavor long-lasting.

"Excellent wine!"

Jian Yinsan exclaimed in admiration.

Yan Linghu smiled and said, "I’m glad Mr. Jian likes it."

Jian Yinsan’s eyes flickered, knowing well the saying, "No one visits the temple without a cause." If Young Master Yan was wooing him with beauties and fine wine, it meant he needed something, but since the other party did not speak up, he pretended to be confused and ignorant.

After another round of leisurely drinking and chatting, Yan Linghu clapped his hands, and the sound of music abruptly ceased.

The dancers and Musicians swiftly exited, leaving only the two of them in the room.

Yan Linghu brought the conversation back to the main issue, "Mr. Jian, about the matter I mentioned last time..."

Jian Yinsan showed a trace of difficulty, "Mr. Yan knows that Chen Mo has a prominent background, and he has recently cracked several major cases; his momentum is strong, and Households Commander Yun from the Sky Scale Guard values him greatly..."

Yan Linghu’s eyes were slightly cold, but a smile remained on his face. He took out a Brocade Pouch from his sleeve, placed it on the table, and said:

"I am aware of the rules of the Sky Scale Guard; regardless of how much Households Commander Yun values him, he can’t interfere with the Fire Department’s affairs."

"Besides, I’m not asking Mr. Jian to kill him, just to teach him a lesson, hm, preferably to make him tumble down from his position as Hundred Household Officer."

Last time at the Imperial Music Bureau, he had been thoroughly humiliated by Chen Mo in public.

After being sent back to the Yan Residence, they had called a Fourth-Level Doctor overnight to put him back together, but the lost face was much harder to recover.

After their confrontation, Yan Linghu realized the gap in strength between them, recognizing that it was unrealistic to take revenge on his own, so he shifted his plan, preparing to start from within the Sky Scale Guard.

"Although Chen Mo has indeed made merits this time, he has touched the interests of many."

"Especially the Empress, who reassigned him to the Ding Fire Department; it’s clear she was targeting him."

"As long as he is stripped of his official skin, there will be plenty of ways to concoct charges against him..."

Jian Yinsan picked up the Brocade Pouch, glanced inside, and saw a stack of Gold Leaves shining brightly.

He discreetly pocketed them and sighed, "Ah, Mr. Yan is too polite... Although the task is difficult, since Mr. Yan has spoken, I will naturally find a way."

"There’s less than two months until the imperial inspection, by then I will give Mr. Yan a satisfactory answer."

The position of Hundred Household Officer was very lucrative, even without Yan Linghu asking, he would still find a way to displace Chen Mo.

But why not take the opportunity to make an extra amount and build connections?

"I trust Mr. Jian to get things done, cheers!"

"Cheers!" freewebnøvel.com

The two men each with their own schemes, raised their glasses and drank heartily.

...

After the battle with the Demon Python, the brothers from both departments were exhausted and took a day to recuperate in Linglan County before hurrying back to Tiandu City.

After entering the city, Chen Mo did not follow the main troops back to the Government.

From the tunnel and the Array, it was likely that the Demon Clan that appeared this time was related to the Zhou Family case.

He must report this matter to the Empress.

However, before entering the palace, there was another matter to attend to—

Jinxiu Workshop.

A man wrapped in a black robe, head covered by a hood, entered the shop, his voice hoarse and low:

"Collecting the goods."

The shop owner was busy with her abacus, but upon hearing this voice, she suddenly looked up.

"Young Master Whip, you’ve come?!"

Since receiving the design drawings last time, the bolder underwear designs had shocked her, an underwear industry veteran, to a faster heartbeat.

Her admiration for this "genius designer" reached an unparalleled level!

"The underwear is ready, five of each kind."

"But this leather trouser... The ’zipper’ you drew is too complicated to make, so I used hidden stitches instead."

"By pulling the thread after opening the crotch, the trousers can be restored."

The shop owner explained patiently.

Chen Mo inspected the products, very satisfied with the result.

As he prepared to pay the final amount, the shop owner stopped him and returned the initial deposit.

"Young Master Whip, from now on it’s free for you!"

"If you have new designs in the future, you must come to Jinxiu Workshop to find me!"

The materials and drafts were all provided by him; she had only offered labor.

First, to establish a rapport and trust with Young Master Whip, hoping in the future to collaborate; with his creativity plus her skills, there would be chaos in circles of the wealthy.

Qiluo Pavilion, Su Jin Xuan... all would have to stand aside, none could compete!

Chen Mo nodded, "Very well."

Just as he picked up the items and was ready to leave, suddenly, a female voice came from behind:

"Chen Mo?"

?!

Chen Mo’s body suddenly stiffened.

Shen Zhixia approached, puzzled, "What are you doing here?"

Even though the man was well wrapped up, his broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs were too distinct, and his aura too familiar; she recognized him at once.

"You’ve mistaken me for someone else."

Chen Mo’s voice was hoarse as he swiftly vanished from sight.

?

"How very strange..."
