But soon Han Mo dismissed this idea again. Cai Jing's corruption was no secret. After all, it wasn't just him who was corrupt in this era.
Tong Guan, Wang Fu, Liang Shicheng, Zhu Mian, Li Yan – were any of the ministers favored by the emperor not swimming in ill-gotten gains?
Corruption, in this era, had become the norm.
It was only when striking at political opponents that it was now used as a weapon.
Without knowing who the opponent was, rashly bringing this out would not only fail to achieve the intended effect but might also lead oneself to a dead end.
"Brother Han, you've been waiting. Everything on that side is arranged. When Brother Han leaves later, you can take them back!"
While Han Mo was lost in thought, Zhang Shaoyou finally returned.
"Thank you, Brother Shaoyou!"
Han Mo smiled and raised his cup again.
For him, this was actually a good thing.
After all, he had indeed visited several princely manors that day, and a long bundle had been added to his carriage.
After their search today, the woman's identity should not raise suspicion for a while.
After all, in this era, it was too common for noble families to gift maidservants and concubines to each other.
If they wanted to investigate what had happened, they would have to search all those princes' manors.
Let alone Zhang Shaoyou, who was just a judicial official, even his superior would not be able to search a prince's manor to investigate what gifts Han Mo had given or received in return!
"Brother Han, you are too kind. You are a rare young talent. We should interact more in the future!"
As Zhang Shaoyou spoke, he continuously served Han Mo food.
One with ulterior motives, the other with a hidden agenda, the two of them were completely putting on an act during this meal.
It wasn't until it was completely dark that Han Mo, with a slight hint of drunkenness, returned to the manor with the officials from Kaifeng Prefecture.
"Young master, who are these people?"
Hearing that Han Mo had brought back a large group of people, Xu Sanbao hurried out to meet him.
"Don't be alarmed. These are all officials from Kaifeng Prefecture. There were some troublemakers a few days ago, and I specifically invited them. Take them around later and be careful not to let any troublemakers sneak in!"
After speaking, Han Mo went back to his own courtyard.
The main character was in his room, so he wasn't afraid of these people searching for anything.
"Second brother, have you been drinking?"
As soon as he entered, the little maid asked with a frown.
"Something happened today, and I had a drink with the judicial official from Kaifeng Prefecture."
As Han Mo spoke, his gaze drifted towards Cai Wei not far away.
He still knew nothing about Cai Wei's identity. He only knew that this woman might have come from a military family, but he was completely in the dark about the specifics.
Although he was almost certain that she had nothing to do with those people from Kaifeng Prefecture, he still wanted to verify it now.
As expected, when she heard the words "Kaifeng Prefecture," a hint of panic flashed in Cai Wei's eyes.
Although it was only for a moment, it was enough for Han Mo.
"The judicial official from Kaifeng Prefecture?"
The little maid's eyes widened. Although the judicial official from Kaifeng Prefecture was not considered much in Bianliang City.
But to the little maid, it was different. She had been subtly worried about Han Mo after he offended the county captain of Xiangfu County a few days ago.
Now that he was drinking with a judicial official, he naturally didn't need to worry about a mere county captain.
"Alright, the alcohol is starting to affect me. I'm going to lie down for a while. Don't call me!"
After speaking, Han Mo naturally returned to his room and lay down on the long-awaited bed.
"You go ahead, I'll go and make you a hangover soup."
The little maid said, then went to busy herself.
As soon as Han Mo lay down on the bed, a faint fragrance wafted over him. He couldn't help but take a deep breath and stretch his body with a languid yawn, looking somewhat intoxicated.
"What game are you playing?"
Seeing the little maid go into the kitchen, Cai Wei immediately walked in.
"What game?"
Han Mo feigned ignorance, his eyes never leaving Cai Wei's face.
"Don't forget, we're in the same boat now!"
Cai Wei was a little anxious. She stomped her foot and said irritably.
"Why are you so anxious? I just had a drink with him. Why are you so worried!"
Han Mo suppressed a chuckle and said with a stern face.
"You! Get up!"
Seeing Han Mo's complacent expression, Cai Wei's pretty face blushed, and she said irritably.
"Young master, everyone else is occupied. Do you need anyone to look after this place?"
Just then, Xu Sanbao's voice sounded from outside again.
"The officials from Kaifeng Prefecture are outside, so don't mess around!"
Han Mo raised an eyebrow and winked at Cai Wei.
"You!"
Cai Wei was furious, but at this moment, she could only sulk.
"If they don't come in once, I'm afraid there will be endless covert surveillance in the future. I've already set a trap for your identity, and they won't be able to find anything for a while. You must not reveal any flaws yourself!"
As Han Mo spoke, he stood up and walked over to Cai Wei.
"What do you want to do?"
As the distance between them grew shorter, Cai Wei felt a strange nervousness in her heart.
"You are my concubine, so I naturally have to put on a show!"
As Han Mo spoke, he reached out and embraced Cai Wei's slender waist.
"You!"
"Don't move! Come with me!"
Smelling the fragrance of the beauty, Han Mo smiled charmingly and lowered his voice.
"You wait for me!"
Cai Wei was so angry that her teeth itched, but now she could only let him hold her.
"Since they've come, let's take a look. However, that's Yan'er's room, so don't go in there. You can look anywhere else, but be careful. Many things were gifts from various princes, and breaking them would be a great waste!"
As Han Mo spoke, he deliberately leaned close to Cai Wei's ear and sniffed her hair.
Even though Cai Wei knew that this brat was clearly taking advantage of her by using this excuse, she could only endure it for now.
"Young master, rest assured, we know the rules!"
Seeing Han Mo with the beauty in his arms, the officials from Kaifeng Prefecture all took a discreet glance and then consciously lowered their heads.
"Master, you look a bit tired today. Shall I give you a massage?"
Watching the officials coming and going, and feeling Han Mo's right hand acting up, Cai Wei smiled charmingly and then naturally pushed Han Mo onto a nearby chair.
Her hands directly pressed down on Han Mo's shoulders. She was a martial artist herself, and now she intended to retaliate for Han Mo's earlier molestation, so the strength of her massage was imaginable.
"What do you want to do? Murder your husband? If you keep this up, I'll call out!"
Han Mo lowered his voice and threatened softly.
"You dare!"
Cai Wei said irritably and increased the force again.
"Ouch—"
Han Mo rolled his eyes and shouted loudly. The officials immediately looked over.
