Chapter 228 The Mo Family Makes a Move
"Madam, I have something I'd like to discuss with you. I wonder if you have a moment to spare right now?"
Su Jinse looked at Tang Yu and slowly nodded.
To be honest, she's been incredibly bored these past few days.
Throughout the Qin state, no one dared to restrict her freedom of movement.
Ying Zheng would not concern himself with the affairs of the Grand Preceptor. After all, for Ying Zheng, the matter of Mr. Tang was the most important thing in Qin, and he would never make any decisions for Mr. Tang.
Even if Su Jinse is a member of the Mo family, Ying Zheng also understood that if Mr. Tang could be with Su Jinse, then the Mo family would be rightfully his Qin state's.
It was even said that the Mo family was part of Su Jinse's dowry, which made Ying Zheng even happier.
Therefore, Su Jinse has received panda-level treatment in the Qin Kingdom these past two days.
Anyone who dares to approach Su Jinse will be severely punished by secret agents and the Imperial Guards.
After all, Su Jinse's identity is extremely important.
In the past two days, many thieves and pickpockets in Xianyang City have been thrown into prison by the Imperial Guards because they were too close to Su Jinse. They were truly wronged.
“My lord, you may speak frankly. After all, we are now husband and wife, even if I become your concubine in the future.”
Tang Yu looked at the composed Su Jinse, thought for a moment, and then said:
"Madam, I wonder how much importance your Mo family places on credit scores?"
"Credit points? Husband, what do you mean by that?"
Seeing the bewildered Su Jinse, Tang Yu slapped himself.
"It's alright, Madam. Just consider my words as nonsense. I wonder how much your Mohist school values reputation?"
Hearing this, Su Jinse said with a serious expression:
“My lord, our Mohist school, like other schools of thought, places great importance on reputation, and we are among the best in this regard.”
"As the saying goes, a gentleman's word is as good as his bond. Our Mohist school, once we have made a promise, will fulfill it no matter what, unless it involves an extremely huge change or exceptional difficulty."
Hearing Su Jinse's words, Tang Yu sighed inwardly, "Oh no."
Because he knew that what he had the Mohists do was, to put it nicely, a scheme, but to put it bluntly, a fraud.
The Mohist school, which originally advocated peace and benevolence, naturally found these things extremely objectionable.
And now they're letting them deceive people.
In addition, the Mohists placed great importance on their reputation.
That means their plan has failed.
Thinking of this, Tang Yu could only say in a resigned manner:
"But what if I asked you to swindle three hundred million taels from someone?"
When Tang Yu said this, he was already prepared to be rejected.
After all, based on his current understanding of Su Jinse, this matter was doomed to fail no matter what.
Because Su Jinse is a very opinionated person, she will prioritize the Mohist school.
So he started thinking of other ideas, such as Xiang Yu's treasure trove being discovered one day, the treasure being dug up, and then he finding these treasures... all sorts of outrageous things.
But to his surprise, Su Jinse's firm voice came the next moment.
“If my husband truly needs those three hundred million taels and needs to use my identity as a member of the Mo family to obtain them, then I am willing.”
Tang Yu stared in shock at Su Jinse before him, somewhat surprised.
"Madam, are you serious?"
Su Jinse nodded seriously, her eyes filled with even more earnestness.
"Of course it's true. What my husband did is exactly what I wanted to do."
"As the saying goes, a woman follows her husband wherever he goes, whether she's a chicken or a dog. And a husband is, after all, a man who stands tall and upright in this world."
"Although I don't know why my husband would lie to me, I know that he must have his reasons for doing so."
Tang Yu stood there stunned, while Su Jinse took his hand and said:
"My lord, may I use your magical motorcycle to take me to the place where my Mo family disciples reside? I would like to discuss some matters with you."
Upon hearing this, Tang Yu nodded.
After Su Jinse got into the car, Tang Yu immediately revved the engine and headed towards the Jinyiwei camp.
Upon arriving at the camp, Tang Yu saw Mohist disciples studying various things applicable to people's livelihoods.
After all, their own waterwheels had already been widely used in the Qin state.
Based on the waterwheel, various modifications and extensions can be made.
These were the matters that the Mohist disciples were referring to.
Upon seeing Tang Yu and Su Jinse arrive, the Mohist disciples bowed respectfully.
"We have met the young lady and the Imperial Preceptor."
After these past few days, the Mo family members have become much less hostile towards Tang Yu.
Because they discovered that what Tang Yu said was true.
Moreover, Tang Yu is not as domineering, violent, and bloodthirsty as the rumors suggest; these descriptions seem to be misunderstandings about him.
In addition, Tang Yu has been providing them with the best food and drink these past few days, and their accommodations have been excellent. Compared to their previous lives, their happiness level has increased dramatically.
Given the benefits Tang Yu brought them, how could they possibly be so harsh on him?
So they could only remain silent, stammering and unable to speak.
At this moment, Tang Yu and Su Jinse came to Sun Qiang's side. They saw Sun Qiang directing the Mo family disciples, and after thinking for a moment, they called Sun Qiang into the room.
At this moment, Su Jinse took the initiative to speak, saying to Sun Qiang:
"Elder Sun, the Mo family needs to do something for my husband."
Sun Qiang was completely stunned. He stared wide-eyed at Su Jinse in front of him and Tang Yu beside her.
"Young Miss, what's wrong?"
"Yes, Elder Sun, you should remember, right? My father had his fortune told, and he said that the first person to unveil my face would be my destined husband."
"The Grand Preceptor's talent, eloquence, insights, and actions have earned my heartfelt admiration."
"He is a true man, a man who brings real change to the world and brings true peace to the world."
"It is my honor, Su Jinse, to have such a person as my husband."
Seeing Su Jinse in such a state, Tang Yu also showed a hint of shyness on his face.
He never expected to receive such high praise from Su Jin.
Upon hearing this, Sun Qiang, who was standing to the side, also showed a relieved expression.
"In that case, congratulations on your marriage, Miss. From now on, we are all on the same side."
No matter how hard he racked his brains, he could never have imagined such an absurd and exaggerated situation.
But it seems that this situation is actually quite good for the Mohist disciples.
The only one who might have a hard time is the young lady...
It must feel terrible to offer yourself up to a tiger.
After thinking for a moment, he said to Su Jinse, "What exactly are your instructions, Miss?"
