Twenty-three: Get promoted and make a fortune

 Especially Xie Yuan, Chen Mo paid him ten taels of silver last time, and he accepted it. Now he has become his boss directly, so he...

Xie Yuan was slightly uneasy.

As for collecting evidence of Chen Mo's crimes and bringing him down, Xie Yuan had never thought about it that way, and there was no big grudge between the two.

A person can be directly promoted from a small captain to the general banner. How dare you say that there is no one above him? Maybe you just submitted the criminal evidence, and the person who received the criminal evidence is the person behind Chen Mo.

"Congratulations to Mr. Chen for showing off his talents. You are well-received by everyone for becoming the chief banner." Xie Yuan was the first to congratulate Chen Mo.

Xie Yuan took the lead, and the other four Xiaoqi who were originally under Xu Hao also stepped forward to congratulate Chen Mo.

Seeing that the flag officers were not dissatisfied at all and surrendered to Chen Mo so quickly, the captains below did not dare to fight, and they all stepped forward to congratulate Chen Mo.

Some of the captains who had asked Chen Mo to help them stay overnight, when they came up to congratulate him, they all whispered invitations to Chen Mo and said that they would set up a table of wine to make amends for him.

Chen Mo smiled, feeling a different kind of satisfaction in his heart.

Is this what status feels like?

Sure enough, when you are down, you are surrounded by "bad people" and people who look down on you, but when you are prosperous, you are surrounded by good people.

Reality is so lamentable, and human nature is so lamentable.

"Mr. Chen Qi, I'm looking for you."

Just when Chen Mo was enjoying the compliments from everyone, Xu Hao walked in with a smile on his face and immediately congratulated: "Congratulations to Mr. Chen on your promotion."

Who doesn't know how to use polite words? Chen Mo raised his hand and said, "What are you talking about, sir? I should be congratulating you on your promotion to the 100th household."

"You are so polite, it's all thanks to Mr. Chen." Xu Hao smiled and put his hand on Chen Mo's shoulder.

"My lord, these words are really embarrassing to my subordinates."

As they talked, the two walked toward the Yamen, arm in arm.

Looking at the two people leaving, Xie Yuan and others became even more convinced that there was someone behind Chen Mo.

Xu Hao has already become a member of the Probation Bureau, yet he is still so polite and talks to Chen Mo with a smile. The two of them are arm in arm, just like brothers. If Chen Mo had no one, what would Xu Hao be like?

"It seems that Mr. Chen Qi got an opportunity..."

……

When I came to Lin Bai's office, as a hundred households, I had my own office in the Yamen.

In addition to Lin Bai, Wang Ende is also there.

"My subordinate, Chen Mo, has met these two adults." Chen Mo bowed his hand respectfully.

"Brother Chen is here." Wang Ende stepped forward to greet him, and then said: "Thanks to Brother Chen, I can become the official in charge of Mingtaifang."

"Mr. Wang, you're too polite. This is all Mr. Wang's own efforts and has nothing to do with his subordinates." Chen Mo said.

"Hey, young people are just polite." Wang Ende patted Chen Mo on the shoulder and said, "If you have any questions, just come to me."

"Thank you, sir."

Chen Mo came to Lin Bai, bowed and raised his hands: "Sir, are you looking for me?"

"These are the clothes and waistband of the general flag. I got them back for you."

Lin Bai pointed to the tray covered with red cloth on the table in front of him.

"Thank you, sir." Chen Mo stepped forward to pick it up and then left.

Lin Bai smiled and said: "Don't you want to take a look?"

After Lin Bai said this, Chen Mo put down the tray and uncovered the red cloth on it. Inside were neatly stacked a set of official uniforms and official hats of the general flag. The whole body was pure black, with Hu Biao embroidered on it.

With a fierce spirit.

But Chen Mo didn't pay attention to the clothes, but looked at the three gold ingots and copper waist badges placed next to them.

In Chu State, one gold ingot is worth ten taels, and one tael of gold is worth ten taels of silver. These three gold ingots are worth three hundred taels of silver.

"Sir, what is this?" Chen Mo didn't understand what it meant.

"This is your share of the rewards given to those who provide clues to the big demon." Lin Bai said with a smile.

"Thank you, sir." Chen Mo said respectfully, clasping his fists. Lin Bai was quite interesting. He could definitely get this money.

In this case, he was not polite. Anyway, he found that he was also short of money. These three hundred taels could be regarded as solving his urgent need.

"You deserve these." Lin Bai stood up from behind the long table, came to Chen Mo, and said: "The Holy Emperor also learned about the matter in Qinyang County, Long Yan is very happy..."

As he said that, Lin Bai took out a piece of silk cloth from his arms and said: "I know you are practicing the Qi-nourishing Technique. The one above is the last level of the Qi-Nourishing Technique. It allows you to practice all the way to the fifth level. I am responsible for it."

I asked for it for you."

Lin Bai gave the silk cloth to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo was slightly startled. After taking it, the system prompt sounded in his mind.

【Already included.】

Money is certainly good, but what is more valuable is the subsequent exercises.

That is to say, Chen Mo has a system. If it were anyone else, without follow-up techniques, he would not be able to improve even if he wanted to.

"Thank you, sir."

"You don't need to be so polite. From now on, we are our own people. Speaking of which, you and I are also destined. Your father was once a soldier under my command." Lin Bai's tone contained a hint of warmth.

"My father?" Chen Mo's eyes widened. He didn't expect there to be such a relationship. No wonder he joined Jin Yiwei so easily.

"It's a long story..." Lin Bai said: "You all come to my place tonight to celebrate, and I will also tell you about your father."

"No."

……

Returning to his place of residence, Chen Mo had just changed into the clothes of the general banner, when there was a knock on the door.

"General Flag, it's me." Xie Yuan's voice.

"Come in, the door is open." Chen Mo covered Jin Yuanbao with a quilt.

Xie Yuan pushed the door open and walked in. He flattered Chen Mo first, then took out a fifty-tael silver note and handed it to him, saying it was filial piety.

Chen Mo refused to accept it at first, but he insisted. After seeing that he accepted it, he left with peace of mind.

After Xie Yuan left, the other four Xiaoqi also came over one after another. Like Xie Yuan, they also paid Chen Mo a fifty-tael silver note.

With Xie Yuan's precedent, Chen Mo accepted them all without any politeness.

But after seeing that they accepted it, they became even more enthusiastic towards them.

At the back, the captains who had looked down on him and asked him to keep watch for them at night also came, but they were not as generous as Xie Yuan.

Each person was given five taels of broken silver.

Chen Mo smiled and said: "Don't be so polite, I didn't even worry about what happened in the past."

ps: I checked the encyclopedia and it said that the general flag is black, the official uniform of Baihu is silver-white, and the official uniform of Qianhu is red.

But when you watch the movie Xiu Chun Dao, both the general banner and the hundred households are wearing black t-shirts, while the Qianhu are wearing silver-white clothes. For the commander, the silver-white clothes are covered with a layer of golden gauze shoulders.

In the film and television drama The Ming Dynasty, the commander’s clothes are bright red flying fish suits.
