Chapter 89: The Female Mechanic (Part 2)

  In an instant, Su Mo's lips curled up with a hint of coldness. At this time, she had already removed her veil, revealing her stunning face.

  It was just a trivial matter for her, she did it casually and didn't take it seriously.

  But didn't expect to be blackmailed by someone to the point of being implicated himself.

  She coldly laughed and said: "The boss is really good at making deals, even the mechanical bird I pawned here wants to be sold."

  "Is this contraption yours, madam? It's clearly one of the new items in my store." The shopkeeper immediately showed a hint of impatience on his face, but pushed the wheelchair forward two steps and said in a low voice: "I know this thing is yours, but this lady has a very noble status. You're lucky she even looks at your things, you can't afford to offend her. I'll give you a few thousand taels of silver later as compensation, and we'll all be happy, how about that?"

  Now he is thoroughly self-interested.

  He knew that as long as he could pull in this provincial governor's wife, she would be able to promote his store afterwards.

  When the time comes, I'll find some carpenters myself and have them make some "mechanisms".

  Anyway, he can make a big profit.

  Several thousand taels? Although I don't know the exact value, this number is really a waste of market conditions.

  Then Su Mo couldn't help but laugh, "What about the meteorite from before?"

  The shopkeeper's face sank, "You woman don't understand? Whatever this lady takes a fancy to, you must let her have."

  Su Mo twirled a strand of hair around her finger, smiled elegantly and said, "Some people do things in a very underhanded way, why should I give in to her?"

  On the other hand, the governor's wife had already taken a clear look at Su Mo's perfect face and immediately furrowed her brow. She found that the woman in front of her possessed an absolutely beautiful appearance, which looked delicate and refined under the sunlight, elegant and extraordinary, charming and enchanting. Her whole body was full of a noble and seductive beauty, but she happened to dislike this kind of looks the most. As soon as she saw it, she felt a inexplicable dislike in her heart, always feeling that the other party looked like a fox spirit.

  The governor's wife guessed that the girl should be a concubine of which noble family, relying on her beauty and a little favoritism, without knowing the height of heaven and earth.

  In short, this time I probably went out to buy some useful things just like myself.

  However, this woman is too arrogant, if compared in terms of status and position, there are only a few women in this place who can compare to herself.

  This woman is too self-righteous, but the beautiful woman who is self-righteous is her favorite target to attack. She even wants to let the other person know her true identity and see the other person's embarrassed expression, then humiliate her thoroughly.

  Of course, when a woman is hostile towards another woman, it's only natural that what she says isn't very pleasant.

  "The shopkeeper, it seems some women in your store are really quite skilled." The woman couldn't help but laugh.

  "I'm so sorry to have troubled you, I'll take care of it right away." The shopkeeper bowed and scraped.

  Su Mo coldly laughed again.

  The governor's wife said displeased: "What are you laughing at?"

  "I'm laughing at how some people are so good at distorting facts and turning black into white. It's truly astonishing. I'm also laughing at this lady, who has eyes but can't see clearly, and can't even tell what belongs to whom?" Su Mo's gaze was cold as he looked at the shopkeeper, his voice dripping with sarcasm: "That mechanical bird is mine, and so is the meteorite. However, some people will never learn their lesson no matter how much they're punished. Unfortunately, it seems that even if they wanted to die, they wouldn't be able to die a good death? Those who do evil will ultimately suffer, doesn't your shopkeeper know this principle?"

  The shopkeeper's face immediately stiffened, not expecting this woman to be so unreasonable, and even dared to lecture him. He coldly said: "What kind of thing are you? Coming here to threaten me? This mechanical bird is indeed our store's property, and you're really talking nonsense! Do you know that slander and rumor-mongering can land you in jail? Believe it or not, I'll take this name card and bring you to the government office across the street to taste prison food!"

  Nowadays, as soon as the word "background" is mentioned, ordinary people are afraid to avoid it.

  The people will not fight with the officials, many people understand the meaning of this sentence as soon as they hear it, this shop is absolutely not a simple shop.

  Originally, in order to ensure the safety of the shop's business, the prefectural government office was nearby.

  In short, the other party's government is just the shopkeeper's thug.

  At this time, the fellow hastily and carefully came forward, and whispered to Su Mo's ear: "Madam, the background of the shopkeeper and that madam are not something you can afford to provoke, in short, it's better for you to leave."

  At this moment, Su Mo was smiling lightly, "You really have a great deal of official authority."

  The shopkeeper immediately sneered and laughed, "Official power? Do you know whose shop this is? Let me tell you, this is the eighth prince's shop. I advise you, if you're smart, you'd better leave quickly."

  Su Mo smiled calmly: "You are just the eighth prince's dog, why pretend to be a tiger everywhere? Besides, my husband has not arrived yet. I can leave after he arrives."

  At this time, the shopkeeper was stunned, after all, the other party's performance was too calm, and his words hit his weakness.

  He was indeed just a subordinate of the Eighth Prince, and after all, one should consider the master when beating the dog.

  However, the other party seems to be unafraid, could it be that her husband also has some background?

  But no matter how great the other party's background is, how can it compare with that of the Provincial Governor's wife?

  The governor's wife looked coldly at the seductive woman in front of her, and the more arrogant the other was, the more disdainful her gaze became.

  At this moment, a group of armed guards arrived outside the shop. They were the ones on duty at the yamen across the street today. Having heard the commotion here earlier, they came with their weapons in hand. Especially after hearing about the trap mechanism, they wanted to take a look at the excitement first.

  The whole street was full of people buying and selling, so naturally many people heard about what happened here very clearly.

  Some people look thoughtful, and this kind of thing is mostly a fake product in many shops nowadays.

  It is said that in the state of Qi, there was only one shop run by a family named Su, which sold truly good clocks.

  Whether it's a broken arrow or a wooden cow and flowing horse, they are all good things.

  Now, the goods in Su's shop have been looted and there is also Qingyun Sect backing them up. No force dares to disturb them. It is said that Su's shop has made a fortune.

  Even the governor wanted to buy a batch, but it was in vain.

  So other shops imitated one after another, but unfortunately their reputation was not as good as Su's family, and they didn't sell very well.

  However, whenever they heard about some mysterious goods, everyone was very interested.

  "I say, this shop has also entered the government agency, right? Next time we come to buy, can you give us some discounts?" said a Wu Hou head.

  The shopkeeper, although unable to see his counterpart clearly, smiled warmly and said, "Indeed, a mechanism has entered our humble store. Later on, we will need everyone's help to spread the word."

  The Wu Hou leader looked at the Provincial Governor's wife and immediately went forward respectfully to pay his respects, "I've seen you, madam."

  The provincial governor's wife glanced at this fourth-rank official with a cold hum, and didn't take him seriously.

  The Marquis of Wu did not take offense at this, thinking to himself that this woman was originally the youngest daughter of a second-grade official, later married to a Wu champion, and finally became the youngest provincial governor's wife, in short, her fate was still quite good.

  He immediately asked: "By the way, I just heard that there was a disturbance here, who was it?"

  The governor's wife sneered, "It was that woman who said the gun I bought belonged to her, as if she relied on her own background."

  Wu Hou's gaze turned to Su Mo, and his eyes lit up immediately, flashing with a look of astonishment. He had never seen such a beautiful woman before. But a woman as beautiful as this must have married an extraordinary man; an ordinary man wouldn't be able to marry such a beautiful woman.

  "May I ask where you are from, madam?" he asked very cautiously.

  "I am not a citizen of Qi." Su Mo's red lips lightly opened, and she replied casually with a charming smile.

  "It turns out that the madam is not from the state of Qi." Duke Wu felt it was no wonder, he must not recognize the inspector's wife, and he couldn't help but smile. "This lady, let's not talk about your identity for now, you should know that the inspector's wife is not an ordinary woman, she has been granted a imperial edict by the emperor, and her husband is not just any inspector, but the inspector of the capital city, with countless high-ranking officials under him, second only to the crown prince and the prime minister."

  At this time, the governor's wife sneered coldly and glanced at Su Mo, thinking that this foolish woman should know her place and status by now?

  She wanted to see some shock on his face, to see him flustered, but he remained expressionless.

  Moreover, this woman's appearance is extremely enchanting, making people dizzy, and it's impossible not to attract attention.

  Since all the martial arts masters appeared, everyone's eyes were fixed on her tightly.

  As a noblewoman who knows she is beautiful, this situation is really too infuriating.

  The leader of the Wu Hou group hastily said: "This lady, no matter what, you can't get along with the wife of the inspector and the shopkeeper, right?"

  Su Mo's beautiful eyes slightly lifted, "It's not that I don't get along with them, but rather they don't get along with me."

  "Anyway, I've said what I needed to say," Wu Hou chuckled. "These are the provincial governor's wife's affairs, so you'd best be on your way."

  The governor's wife sneered, "She is still waiting for her husband, I don't know what kind of man would support her."

  Everyone laughed, thinking that the other party was probably an official with a decent status, but far from being as powerful as the Governor. This woman wasn't even from Qi State, and probably couldn't understand the Qi dialect at all? She didn't even know the customs of Qi State, and yet she had been allowed to leave the inner quarters, which was truly a disaster waiting to happen.

  Someone laughed and said: "It's true that this woman doesn't understand things, and men will follow her bad luck, right?"

  Some people clapped their hands and said: "When marrying a woman, one should marry a beautiful and intelligent one, so the governor is really very fortunate."

  Someone said: "Let's take a look later and see what kind of person that man is."

  At this moment, the female servant looked at Su Mo coldly and sneered, thinking that this woman was really stupid. She had been cheated in this place and was being ridiculed by others. Although she didn't know where the mechanical bird came from, she remembered that there was one at Madame Huan's place, which was extremely precious. It seemed that this woman liked to show off her treasures, so let her show off. She knew that doing so would eventually lead to trouble.

  Of course, she didn't plan to show up and clear the siege either. Let this woman receive some lessons for now. In the end, she would reveal her identity as Wudang Castle and rescue her from danger. By then, she would naturally be obedient and follow her back quietly.

  At this time, Su Mo took a few steps forward, her figure was enchanting, and a hint of nobility appeared in her agility. She turned around and said: "So you're bullying me for having no background? So in your eyes, I'm just like a woman with no background? How interesting!"

  But then, the beautiful woman's eyes sparkled with a hint of amusement, and everyone immediately stopped laughing.

  The governor's wife said coldly: "A woman who doesn't even have a single spiritual stone, what background could she possibly have?"

  Su Mo sneered coldly, his pupils sparkling like starlight. "Who says I don't have any spiritual stones? They're all just being used."

  She suddenly held out her hand, and in the palm of her hand was indeed a spirit stone, which she had just taken from a mechanism.

  Everyone looked at each other in dismay, and Su Mo continued: "And... that mechanical bird is indeed mine."

  "What nonsense are you talking about?" The provincial governor's wife was somewhat displeased.

  At this time, Su Mo smiled softly and said: "This thing has a piece of evidence, it's very easy to prove."

  The shopkeeper's face changed: "You're talking nonsense."

  Su Mo sneered and slightly raised an eyebrow, "Sometimes mechanisms can be very dangerous. As long as it's someone who refines them, they can manipulate it to explode."

  "Explode?" The governor's wife had never heard of such a ridiculous thing, an organ bird actually exploding?

  At this moment, Su Mo's fingertips suddenly popped out, and unbelievable things happened in an instant.

  Suddenly, the mechanical bird emitted a loud "rumbling" sound, which shook the air and made people's ears buzz. A piece of debris flew out, and the mechanical bird had indeed been blasted open.

  Then the shopkeeper was suddenly blown up from his wheelchair, his clothes were torn apart, and he had already flown to the top of the house beam.

  In an instant, the room fell silent, all the martial arts masters were stunned, and even the Governor's wife was taken aback.

  After a while, the governor's wife changed her expression, "Bring in the men, take this woman away and give her some discipline."

  Two of Wu Hou's men saw that someone was injured and immediately went to surround Su Mo. After all, they were the eighth prince's people, and no matter what, they had to have an explanation. However, when the two men reached out to grab Su Mo's arm, he suddenly dodged away with a swift movement of his body.

  Then she swung her sleeves and kicked out with the toe of one foot, drawing a beautiful arc in the air as they both flew out.

  However, the two of them flew out like straw, almost unable to withstand a single blow!

  The crowd gathered around again, Su Mo's finger pointed upwards, and a dozen butterflies flew out.

  The explosions continued to come, but this time she put her target on the opponent's weapon. The person was not injured, but the weapon shattered. Under the explosion, all the weapons were like fine porcelain and could not withstand it.

  The crowd gasped in shock and did not dare to make a move.

  Su Mo sneered, "Whoever takes another step forward will find that what's shattered isn't a weapon, but bones."

  The leader of the Wu Hou did not believe it, he flew quickly over the crowd and launched a surprise attack.

  Su Mo sneered and suddenly, in front of him appeared a person, or rather, an automaton.

  Su Mo manipulated his divine consciousness, and the mechanical man swung its fist heavily, striking Wu Hou's head and sending his body flying out, heavily smashing onto the ground.

  At this moment, as he flew out face up and fell heavily to the ground, his chest had already become deformed, with shattered ribs making it look like his chest was caved in.

  Everyone was incredulous, Wu Hou's head and tail were both top-notch from birth, and his movements were extremely agile, yet he was actually sent flying by a mechanical person.

  So this organ person must be extremely powerful, and his strength is also innate?

  What a terrible thing it is to be a born official, and the materials must also be excellent.

  Have they never heard of a bureaucrat reaching this level?

  At this time, it was already a house of deathly silence.

  Everyone thinks that the woman is unfathomable and really can't be measured, what kind of background does this kind of woman have?

  It's just hanging on the beam, and the dying shopkeeper also feels very scared. The other party left him a breath, what is the intention?

  "Come on, hurry up and call all the Wu Hou over, also go and call the Governor, arrange for all the top masters of the Quan Ti period to come over." The Governor's wife could no longer hold back her loud cries, her face pale with fear, "Catch her for me, this woman must be an assassin or a spy from another country, she must be caught!"

  Some people rushed out to spread the order, some went to move the rescue troops, but Su Mo was motionless, with a calm expression.

  However, she released eleven mechanical puppets, and no one dared to enter the house again.

  The governor's wife changed color, now she was already imprisoned.

  The waitress was also shocked, she didn't expect that this demoness wasn't useless after all, and could actually refine mechanisms. A woman refining mechanisms is extremely rare, and the demoness was only at such a young age, yet her mechanism skills were impressive. She had seen mechanism users in Wudou City before, but they were all acquired through later training, which already made her feel unbelievable. Did a woman with such abilities really need to seduce the Third Prince? She suddenly doubted what Xia Xue'er had said.

  This woman is really too much trouble, isn't she?

  How can something so big happen as soon as it comes out?

  She felt that she was now unable to intervene and was completely beyond her control.

  Unless Madam Yu comes out, it's probably impossible to stop what happens next. She thought for a moment, pursed her lips and hurriedly ran outside.

  She took out a firework from her bosom and instantly shot it into the sky.

  Moments later, people came and went, chattering incessantly.

  The shops in this area are indeed the closest to the government office, and another batch of Wu Hou has arrived quickly.

  Only the sound of horseshoes came trotting over, and the soldiers patrolling the three streets around us all gathered over.

  I don't know how many troops were mobilized outside, dozens of archers and 80 cavalrymen have already surrounded the outer perimeter, while hundreds of infantrymen blocked the surrounding streets.

  Good heavens! The crowd outside was astonished, "What on earth is going on here?"

  Someone said: "The wife of the governor has been taken hostage."

  "My goodness, this is quite impressive."

  "What kind of person is this who has taken the provincial governor's wife hostage?"

  "This is really making a big mess."

  Everyone looked up with anticipation, and after a short while, a group of people finally arrived.

  Everyone's eyes lit up, and these people were indeed the governor and his entourage.

  The governor was under thirty-five years old, tall and majestic in stature, with a prominent forehead, eyes that shone with authority, and dressed in military attire.

  Although he doesn't look handsome, he has a majestic and vigorous aura. A man like this must have his mind focused on the outside world, looking strong but also clever. In short, someone who can reach this position at the age of thirty is definitely extraordinary, not to mention whether he's an unfeeling and ruthless person or a decisive and bold one.

  However, as soon as they entered, they saw twelve mechanical puppets standing in the house, and no one dared to move.

  A man was hanging from the beam of a house, on the verge of life and death.

  But saw in the house, Wu Hou was motionless, and there was a person lying on the ground.

  At this time, the face of the provincial governor's wife finally had some color, and her lips trembled as she said: "Husband, sir."

  He slowly walked into the house, his eyes scanning everyone inside. When his gaze fell on Su Mo, although he lit up like all the other men, he calmly unbuckled the sword at his waist. The surrounding crowd suddenly tensed up - was he preparing to fight that woman?

  When everyone felt that this woman was more evil than good, Su Mo smiled and asked, "Are you the Governor?"

  "Who are you? Don't you know that imprisoning the wife of a court official is a serious crime?" The governor asked coldly, but his eyes were still calm.

  Su Mo looked at him with a fixed gaze, gave a charming smile and said lightly: "My surname is Su, given name Wu, others call me Miss Wu."

  Digression

  The abuse hasn't been written yet, cough cough, will continue tomorrow, it's really too late now, so I'll just post a part of it for now.
