Chapter Fifty-Eight: Ascending to the Eighth Rank
Early in the morning, Qianyang Palace.
Zhao Tian, the emperor of Wanlong, sat on the dragon couch, pinching the fold with one hand, and Tang Zhaoxun sat aside, sorting out the crown for the emperor. The eunuch Lu Shi and several maidservants stood aside, and no one could intervene.
"I don't know how the husband of the lord of Loulan was chosen." Zhao Tian's eyes slanted: "Can Zhaobao know?" ”
Tang Zhao said: "I heard that the prince of Qi and seven others proposed to the Guogong Mansion, but they were all rejected by the county lord. ”
"Oh..., who are those six?"
Tang Zhao said six names, and Emperor Wanlong snorted lightly. It seems that he can't look down on those six people, and Tang Mei, the proudest woman in his heart, naturally can't look down on them either, although those people are all royal princes and wealthy families.
Emperor Wanlong read quickly, and the ordinary recital folded ten lines at a glance, and after reading it, he threw it to the left, and asked the eunuch to draw a circle with a pen, and then he could send it to Shangshu Province to shoot left and right, and then the servant shot was sent to the six parts for execution.
If the emperor couldn't make up his mind, he threw it to the right and sent it to the Zhongshu Province to find a way. If the Chinese book province can't come up with a good solution, it will be brought to the court for discussion.
I saw a thick stack of folds submitted by the Criminal Department, and almost every fold was accompanied by a file. The emperor was not in the mood to read the dossier, but just opened the excerpt to see the overview. One by one was thrown to the left, but suddenly his eyes fell on a fold, and he didn't move it for a long time. And this is the excerpt of Xue Pang, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, and it is also the "Qi Yu Case" detected by Su Bottle.
This case is not the largest case in this stack, but it is indeed the case that attracts the emperor the most, because it involves twenty-three Huaiyang girls.
It is mentioned in the excerpt that the twenty-three girls are beautiful and fairy, and the audience all pity them. Xue Pang's words wanted to use the weakness and beauty of a woman to set off the evil of the offender, but in the eyes of Emperor Zhao Tian, he only saw "beauty like a fairy", so he was in good spirits.
Zhao Tian's eyes slanted and fell on Tang Zhao. Tang Zhao sat aside, like a wax figure.
He peeked at her, and she frowned and looked back at the emperor.
Although Tang Zhao and Tang Mei are not born to a mother, they both look like their fathers, so they look very similar. They all have high noses and deep eyes, long eyebrows and sideburns. The eyebrows are raised, like a hanging, with a touch of inviolable majesty.
There was a slight condemnation in her eyes, as if to remind the emperor not to be distracted when reviewing the recitals.
Perhaps in order to obtain more information, or to show the importance of this case, Zhao Tian opened the relevant files of "Qi Yu's Case" and looked at it.
Actually, there is not much content, just a few pieces of paper. And among them is the material presented by the Su bottle.
is still the old saying, although Zhao Tian is greedy for fun, he is a capable person, and he is as careful as a hair. He had instructed those "lineage" officials to mark out the person who was the gatekeeper when presenting the recital. It doesn't have to be obvious, just dot an ink dot next to their name. At first glance, it looks like an accidental dripping of ink rolls.
And Xue Pang also deliberately marked that the case handler Su Bottle is from Qinghuafang. That is the Tang family's gate valve, Emperor Zhao Tian raised his eyebrows, and asked Tang Zhao: "Who is this Su bottle?" ”
"He used to be the son-in-law in the sixth sister's house, and he was the one abolished by His Majesty." Tang Zhao quickly replied.
Zhao Tian blinked and asked, "What does this Su bottle look like?" ”
Tang Zhao's eyes squinted, glanced at the file, and saw that it was the person from the Tang clan who solved the case, and liked it in his heart, so he said: "That Su bottle is good-looking, its body is similar to His Majesty, with white skin, wide eyebrows, straight nose and wide mouth. Oh yes, a while ago, he was still a rain boy. ”
Zhao Tianyi frowned: "Does this person know some martial arts?" ”
Tang Zhao said: "I have defeated the Khitan warriors. ”
"Oh, it's him!" Zhao Tian remembered that Su Bottle was coming.
Tang Zhao tilted his head: "Your Majesty has seen him?" ”
Zhao Tian said slightly crampedly: "No, I haven't seen it." ”
Zhao Tian was beaten and ran back to Miss Seven's house, but he didn't say that he was rescued. He said he was outnumbered by three and knocked them to the ground. Later, a large group of people appeared, and he ran back without suffering the loss in front of him.
Tang Zhao stared at Zhao Tian and didn't say a word.
Zhao Tian was bored and fell into memory, thought of something, sat up straight, and asked Tang Zhao: "In Zhaobao's eyes, who is more beautiful than me?" ”
Tang Zhao couldn't help but smile and said, "Who can compare with Your Majesty, of course, Your Majesty is the most beautiful." ”
Zhao Tian still maintained a serious expression: "Zhaobao doesn't need to be complimented, don't ask Zou Ji to boast about his husband." Just tell the truth. ”
Tang Zhao frowned and sneered: "Manhood focuses on merit, why is it beautiful and ugly?" ”
Zhao Tian was silent and looked at it coldly.
Tang Zhao sighed and said, "Your Majesty is the most beautiful, the most beautiful in the world." ”
Zhao Tian smiled with satisfaction, and then turned his head to look at the twists and turns.
In other words, Emperor Wanlong's appearance is really good. It was said that he was playing with women, and he didn't know that the woman was also voluntary. They were bewitched by the charm of the crown prince, and they were all fascinated.
For example, the night girl who went to the Daxiangguo Temple to meet the "Great Master" that day was already the beauty of Zhao Tian's couch. Handed over her body to the Great Sect Master, the beautiful night girl has no regrets, and only hopes to see her again.
The prince stretched out his hand to the woman, invincible, and the only break was on Tang Mei. was kicked by Tang Mei and kicked to the bottom of the couch.
After reading the file, Zhao Tian wanted to give instructions in person. The eunuch hurriedly handed the pen dipped in ink to the emperor. The emperor made an approval of nearly 300 words with a smile, which is rare.
Perhaps it was because of the gratitude that Su Bottle helped him relieve the siege that day, and with a stroke of his pen, Emperor Wanlong promoted Su Bottle to the fifth grade......
After thinking about it, I crossed it out again.
Because Zhengwupin can go to court and see the emperor. If he recognizes it, it will be a small guy or me who will be beaten, and he will be more or less faceless. Six or seven grades are not good, because he may also see the emperor during the Great Dynasty. Forget it, let's give him an eight-pin.
Since you can't promote him quickly, let's give him more official titles and reward some others to make up for it.
The head of the eight-grade criminal department, the chief criminal investigation; He also inspected the history of Kyoto in the Imperial Historical Observatory, the main prison and punishment department, and the emperor's book; Give five silver fish bags, galloping horses in the streets, do not avoid night bans, and give a royal horse.
Why the emperor took such care of this little knife officer, outsiders don't know, anyway, that's how the emperor batched. The approval fell into Xue Pang's hands, and Xue Shilang stared at him.
He felt that the emperor's reply was obviously overdone and biased. Mei Ran, who handled the case with Su Bottle, did not receive any reward. And the emperor did not praise others, including Xue Pang.
However, this case was handled by Xue Pang's subordinates, and Su Bei did it so beautifully that it made Long Yan happy, which is a good thing for Xue Pang. So he was happy, too.
But the emperor's approval can't tell Su Bottle truthfully. Lord Xue will say that in the recital to the emperor, the official praised you with pen and ink, so the emperor has this heavy reward.
……
I don't know that I was rewarded, and I can't eat the swordsman Su Bottle of the Criminal Department when I eat on the street, and I am still fighting with people on the street.
A group of masked people who came out of nowhere, as soon as they saw Su Bottle, they pounced like wild dogs snatching food, and they lost Su Bottle's martial arts, otherwise they would have been cut down to the ground by these people.
To say that Mei Ran is really a natural fighter, when he saw the gang of people rushing over, he grabbed the hot basin and splashed it out, scalding the gang to scream.
There were indeed two masters in this group of masked people, and the knives in their hands flew up and down, almost injuring Su Bottlemei Ran several times.
The others were quickly defeated by Su Bottle, but the two were still struggling to support, as if they were waiting for support. But the support never appeared, and the two couldn't resist it, so they ran away.
Mei Ran wanted to chase, but was dragged by Su Bottle's shoulder: "Poor Kou Mo chases." ”
Mei Ran shook her wrist, and then she heard someone whistling in the alley, Su Ran turned her head and saw a familiar figure. The man smiled evilly at Su Bottle, and suddenly disappeared.
"Chen Qianyi?"
Su Bottle was not mistaken.
The wild Chen Drum that appeared in the Qi Palace's Mansion was Chen Qianyi. Not only Chen Qianyi, but also the bald man, they all entered the Qi Palace's Mansion with a mission. And the bald man Fan Kui is actually Chu Pan in the Eight King Kongs.
When Chen Qianyi heard Wang Shuangxi say that the person he wanted to kill was Su Bei, Chen Qianyi smiled.
How can you let the killer succeed, Chen Qianyi Feishi reminded. He was the sneaky figure that Su Bottle and Mei Ran saw with a flash of their eyes at the same time.
Of course, Su Bottle didn't know this, and was stunned for a while, then took out the short rope that Dang Catch was carrying with him, and tied up the five people who fell to the ground. Call the officials of the Fang Bureau, escort them, or carry them on a stretcher and bring them back to the Criminal Department.
As soon as he came to the Criminal Department, Su Bei felt that the situation was not quite right. The usually high-spirited veterans of the Criminal Department have become extremely enthusiastic today, especially the staff wailang who took Su Pingmei to go through the transfer procedures a few days ago, and he smiled brightly.
Everyone is congratulating Master Su on his ascension, and it is the emperor's approval, this official is very hard.
Seeing Xue Pang, Su Bei was about to make a debriefing report, to explain to Lord Xue, I didn't finish these two cases, but I accidentally arrested five knife-wielding bandits, which can be regarded as making up for it.
But Xue Pang didn't listen to his debriefing at all, and seeing that he handed over the two cases, Xue Pang just threw them aside casually and asked Su Wei to stand upright.
"For you, I've done my best. In my letter to the Emperor, I mentioned your name many times, and I put all the credit on you. ”
While speaking, Xue Pang picked up the recital approved by the emperor, and he also stood up straight, and praised in a serious voice: "His Majesty the Emperor has appointed you as the head of the Eighth Grade Criminal Department, and the chief criminal investigator will take it; He also inspected the history of Kyoto in the Imperial Historical Observatory, the main prison and punishment department, and the emperor's book; Give five silver fish bags, galloping horses in the streets, do not avoid night bans, and give a royal horse. ”
After saying that, Xue Pang handed a brocade bag to Su Bottle, and said, "The silverfish bag and the horse brand are in it." ”
Perhaps a little jealous, Xue Pang sat down and said, "I, the third grade, have never received such a reward. You're in luck. ”
Hanging a silverfish bag around his waist, quite a saint. Even if you are not a five-rank official, you will be regarded as a five-rank official. And officials above the fifth grade live much more comfortably in Luoyang. There is no need to think about night bans, galloping horses and the like.
To receive such a reward, Su Bottle also felt surprised. There are so many people who solve the case, how can they get such a rich reward?
Su Bottle couldn't help but smile: "The lower officials can get such a reward, it's all up to Lord Shilang." ”
"Hehe, no, no. You're my hand, and of course I'm going to say good things for you. Xue Pang changed his words and said: "The emperor also has instructions, asking the Ministry of Internal Affairs to take over the twenty-three victim girls. The emperor is merciful, and he will personally comfort the twenty-three frightened maidens. After a while, someone from the Inner Servant Province will come over, and you can go and hand it over. ”
