Chapter 103 Reward
An imperial envoy is about to arrive in Anshun County because Mr. Xu discovered last year that the remnants of the previous dynasty had hijacked and hidden tribute in the mountains.
"Brother Xu, you know that your eldest nephew is in the government office now."
"He accidentally overheard the conversation between the county magistrate and the legal advisor, and said that this matter might not be very good!"
Guan Laoqi quickly told everything he knew.
"What could be wrong?"
Old Master Xu said nonchalantly, "We, father and son, have found the tribute hidden by the remnants of the previous dynasty. We have made a great contribution, so how can it be bad?"
"Brother, this isn't that simple!"
Guan Laoqi looked at Mr. Xu anxiously, "What those elders think in their hearts is different from what we ordinary people think."
"In my opinion, why don't you take the eldest and second oldest brothers out to avoid the limelight first?"
"The third brother passed the imperial examination and ranked first in our Xiangyi Prefecture. He has a great reputation. Even the imperial envoy cannot do anything to him."
"Seventh Brother, don't worry, nothing will happen!"
Mr. Xu didn't think anything would happen to him.
Although he refused to acknowledge his stupid father, those in the court could not be unaware of his relationship with Marquis Dingbei.
If he really had something wrong, he would have been implicated.
If this is really the case, he can run away like a monk but he cannot escape the temple, he can avoid the first day of the month but he cannot avoid the fifteenth day.
So, just wait!
Old Master Xu calmly saw Guan Laoqi off, locked the gate behind him, and turned back to his room.
Fubao, who was held in Mr. Xu's arms, began to doze off.
Fubao didn't take what Guan Laoqi had just said seriously at all.
She is God's most beloved child!
If this case involving the remnants of the previous dynasty could even implicate her own father, Fubao felt that she, God's most beloved child, could find a piece of tofu to suffocate herself to death.
…
At noon on the third day after Guan Laoqi went to find Mr. Xu, there was a sudden sound of gongs and drums on the road outside Lingshui Village.
Anshun County's magistrate, Zuo Qiu, brought along officials of all ranks from the yamen and escorted the imperial envoy who had come a long way from the capital, and arrived at Lingshui Village in a grand procession.
Old Master Xu received a message from the county government early in the morning, asking him to wait at home for an order.
"By the Will of Heaven, the Emperor decrees that Xu Huaiyi, the eldest son of the Marquis of Dingbei, is loyal and dedicated to the country..."
The imperial envoy stood in front of Mr. Xu and others, unfolded the imperial edict and read it aloud.
As the imperial envoy read out the announcement, the people of Lingshui Village who were kneeling on the ground were all stunned.
Old Xu's family, Dingbei Marquis's Mansion...
My dear mother!
The people of Lingshui Village were shocked. The cheerful old man Xu in the village actually had such a prominent background. It was incredible, incredible.
No wonder smoke is coming out of the Xu family’s ancestral tomb!
Wait, since Mr. Xu is the eldest son of the Marquis, then who is buried in the Xu family’s ancestral tomb?
Some villagers thought of this.
Unfortunately, before they could think deeply about it, they forgot about it.
Because the imperial edict was read to the end, the final content of the reward was announced.
A reward of one thousand taels of silver!
Xu Yuanjin was given the title of Lord of Defu Township.
"What kind of operation is this?"
Everyone around was dumbfounded. The ones who made the contribution were Old Man Xu and his two sons, so how come the one who got the biggest reward in the end was Old Xu's daughter?
A girl who will get married sooner or later actually became the biggest winner!
"I accept your order and thank you for your grace!"
Compared to the confusion of the people around him, Mr. Xu had a big smile on his face and accepted the imperial edict with great joy.
Rest, rest for a while, continue to shout for collection, recommendation, and reward! Please give a five-star rating!
