The Anti-Pornography Department

Fourth Aunt Bai is a hedgehog spirit from the Shen Dynasty, so naturally she prioritizes the care of the Shen Dynasty demons and excludes demons from other dynasties. Shi Gandang is one of her confidants.

Back then, Mama Hu had no intention of engaging in palace intrigue; she only wanted to revive Xie Xianyu. When she discovered that Shi Gandang was actually a famous general, she generously handed over the military treatise personally written by Xie Xianyu to him, thus ensuring the continuation of the legacy.

Therefore, strictly speaking, in terms of military affairs, Shi Gandang did not inherit the military strategies of the famous general Shi Polu, but rather the legacy of the Xie Household.

"My Fourth Aunt Bai has a good idea, but she's not very good at history. Doesn't she know that Shi Polu was killed by the founding emperor of the Shen Dynasty?"

Hu Mang glanced at the unconscious Brother Li and silently complained.

Compared to Xie Xianyu achieved victory in political struggles and completed the Northern Expedition with perfect merit, the fate of the famous general Shi Polu was undoubtedly much more tragic.

He was suspected by the Emperor Taizu of the Shen Dynasty in his later years, stripped of his military power, imprisoned, and died unjustly in prison at the age of forty-one.

However, this was not surprising at all to Hu Mang.

Xie Xianyu died young, so the imperial power was not threatened. In addition, he had a deep friendship with Emperor Guangwu of Liang and conquered half of the northern territory of the Liang Dynasty on his own. Therefore, the Xie Household was treated well throughout the Liang Dynasty.

Shi Polu's battlefield achievements are no less than Xie Xianyu's, but the problem is that Emperor Taizu of the Shen Dynasty is over eighty years old, while you are only in your early forties. Moreover, you are a founding general who fought your way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. After the old emperor passes away, who can suppress you? If you don't die, who will?

After his death, the Shi Household was executed, leaving only his Essence Blood to overflow from the pile of corpses of the Shen Household, landing on a stone and giving it spirit, thus creating Shi Gandang.

The imperial families of the five dynasties have continued to exist in modern times, and many have developed into modern powerful families, such as the Shen family of the past, which is now the Shen Household in the south.

Fourth Aunt Bai would flaunt her connections in the south all the time. Others might not mind, but to Shi Gandang, it was a bit too much.

"Do you want to come to the Liu Household with me?" Hu Mang asked bluntly.

Shi Gandang shook his head, "I'll wait here for my third sister's good news."

"That's true. A highly skilled professional like you will be well-treated by Pine Peak Security, no matter which company is in power. You don't need to get involved in these internal power struggles at all."

Hu Mang laughed:

"There's a saying that goes, 'Learn from the rise and fall of our predecessors, and examine the mistakes of the present.' The descendants of the Shi Household can't afford to repeat the same mistakes twice; sometimes, putting in too much effort is not worth the loss."

Shi Gandang remained silent.

However, Hu Mang changed his tone and said coldly:

"But you've taken so much money from me, and you're only going to do it once? Isn't that too cheap?"

"What does Young Master Hu want me to do?" Shi Gandang asked calmly.

Hu Mang took out a list and handed it over.

"I don't care what methods you use, don't let anyone from here come to the Liu Household today."

If Brother Li is a monster secretly bribed by Fourth Aunt Bai, then those on this list are Fourth Aunt Bai's trusted confidants on the surface, the kind who are absolutely loyal.

Shi Gandang pondered for a moment.

Seeing this, Hu Mang coldly said

"Fourth Aunt Bai, you haven't read many books, have you? Have you learned from your father's mistakes and gone from one extreme to another? Do you really think no one can do anything to you in this environment of struggle, maintaining absolute neutrality?"

"Of the five families—Hu, Huang, Bai, Liu, and Hui— the Bai Household seems the least likely to succeed. You're not even willing to take this small risk?"

Shi Gandang a moment, but ultimately accepted it.

"That's more like it! If General Shi had really participated in the struggle for the throne back then, and colluded with some unfavored prince like someone else, he might not have met such a tragic end. And even if he lost, so what? At worst, his family would be wiped out and his clan exterminated. The worst outcome would still be the same. Not being proactive in rebellion? He must be out of his mind!"

Hu Mang laughed heartily, and with his Divine Sense, he reactivated the flying shuttle, carrying the other two into the sky once more.

Long after the two left, a monster finally dared to approach.

"Brother Shi, oh no, General, whose bet should we place now?"

Shi Gandang pondered for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

"Among the five families, the third sister's demonic nature is the least, but the living person she raised has the strongest demonic nature, which is hard to explain."

"Then whose advice should we listen to?"

"Monsters naturally listen to monsters."

"Shi Gandang was ultimately a man of honor."

On the shuttle, Mama Hu was clearly saddened by Brother Li's betrayal and comforted herself with words of self-consolation.

"Come on, old lady. He took ten million Spirit Stone from me. Do you think he's being truly loyal or just pretending? Who does something these days if there's no benefit in it?" Hu Mang complained.

"What?! You gave him ten million?!"

Mama Hu suddenly went from being sad to getting angry, her eyes practically spitting fire, and she grabbed Hu Mang's ear.

"Say that again, you little brat!!"

Hu Mang regretted his words as soon as they left his mouth and quickly defended himself:

"Mom, what kind of juncture is this? It's a matter of life and death. There's nothing we can't give away except our lives. And ten million sounds like a lot, but if you give it out in installments, are you bribing someone or giving them a bonus? Either don't get involved, or bet big. Mom, didn't you say that among your connections and relationships in the company, Shi Gandang is relatively reliable? Now that the money is in place and the relationships are established, isn't that the most likely guy to do the job for the money?"

"Furthermore, I've entrusted the matter of bribing other people to Huang Jiayou. His involvement is far more effective than ours. Our family hasn't been involved in company affairs for years..."

However, Mama Hu is currently preoccupied with the ten million yuan and is completely deaf to reason.

In the end Hu Mang only promised that once the out-of-court settlement with Electronic Wooden Fish was settled, he would immediately buy his mother a villa, and only then did his mother barely calm down.

Throughout the process, "Old Xie" wore a smile and watched the show.

At the Liu Household, as the appointed time drew closer, more and more people came to offer their congratulations.

In modern society, it's not necessary for the engaged couple to meet on the actual wedding day. In fact, the woman is expected to greet the guests at the door to make them look more respectable.

At this moment, Liu Manqing, dressed in a bright red welcoming coat, greeted the guests at the door, her classical headdress making her even more beautiful and charming.

She seemed completely oblivious to the possibility of being jilted in the future; instead, she seemed to revel in the spectacle, chatting idly with Huang Jiayou from time to time.

"Hey, what do you think about this red envelope? If I break up with Hu Mang in the future, should I return it? Can we split it in half?"

"Isn't that obvious? Given the status of the Hu and Liu families in the company, even if you dared to quit, they wouldn't dare to accept you," Huang Jiayou replied absentmindedly.

He glanced at Liu Manqing every now and then, then swept his gaze over the reception area, secretly wondering if he had been treating his own borderline streamer too poorly, resulting in an unusually fierce "peach blossom curse" this year, with her encountering two women she couldn't afford to offend in a single day.

"No, why are you so far away from me?"

Looking at the Huang Jiayou, which was a full four steps away from her, Liu Manqing couldn't help but wonder.

"Big sister, one shouldn't mess with a friend's wife. You're about to get engaged, so how can I not keep my distance? Besides, didn't you complain that my transformation scent was too strong? Aren't you afraid it'll get on you and you won't be able to wash it off?"

"But why do I feel like you're a little afraid of me?" Liu Manqing asked suspiciously.

"You're overthinking it. How could I be afraid of you?"

Huang Jiayou remained expressionless, but a cold sweat broke out inside him.

Big sister, I'm not afraid of you, I'm afraid of your mother.

As Hu Mang's staunch teammate in the power struggle within the company, Hu Mang naturally informed Liu Manqing of the current special situation to prevent him from saying anything he shouldn't. When Huang Jiayou learned that Liu Wuniang could possess her daughter at any time, even with his thick skin, he couldn't help but tremble a few times.

Possession by blood relatives—it's been so many years since I've heard of such a horrific thing.

It's fortunate that my old man is so open-minded, easygoing, and easygoing. If he hadn't been willing to close his eyes back then, given his friendship with Liu Wuniang, he should have done so himself.

You old-timers, why do you always resort to such ruthless tricks? Do you think we lowly monsters can study dragon Dragon Vein?

The most crucial point is that there happens to be a member of the relevant department right next to me—this is going to be the death of me!

Following the gaze of the Huang Jiayou, at the engagement banquet not far away, a girl who was quite cute, but whose hair was dyed in all sorts of colors, was even more unconventional than the monsters present, was standing on a chair and stuffing herself with food.

"This roe deer meat is good, and this deer blood is delicious too. By the way, your chef is quite professional when it comes to cooking wild game. Not bad, not bad, everything is delicious."

"Where did this wild girl come from?" an old man from the deer parked nearby couldn't help but mutter.

Ji Xiaodao suddenly turned his head and stared intently at the other person until the other person felt uneasy, then grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth from too much smoking.

Suddenly, Ji Xiaodao stopped eating with his chopsticks and looked up at the sky.

"Oh, they've arrived. Let's get down to business first."

The monsters nearby then noticed that the other person was standing on a large black wooden box, which looked like the box of some kind of large musical instrument. But for some reason, the monsters who were close by felt a chill run down their spines and subconsciously kept their distance from the object.

As soon as Hu Mang landed, his mother led his adoptive father to the front hall, and Huang Jiayou frantically gave him winks. He thought it was some serious company business, but as soon as he got closer, he heard the little weasel tugging at him nervously.

"Young Master Hu, this is bad, officials have arrived."

"Officially? Who?"

"I."

Hu Mang raised an eyebrow, turned around, looked down, and saw Ji Xiaodao. He immediately recognized her as the girl in military uniform who had been smoking a cigarette at the entrance of his residential compound a month ago.

"Are you an official? Which department?" Hu Mang asked with interest, showing no sign of guilt.

"Me? I'm an anti-prostitution officer."

"How come the anti-prostitution officers are hanging out with this young master Huang?"

"Isn't he involved in borderline business? Besides, he also shares the surname Huang, and our expertise happens to be a perfect match."
