Everyone in the Jiang Mansion had been waiting inside for a long time. Inside stood an eunuch who looked mature. He stood there meticulously, and the bright yellow in his hand was particularly conspicuous.
It’s an imperial edict——
Jiang Li paused and turned to look at Pei Zhi.
The old eunuch seemed to have been waiting for a long time, but he was not impatient at all.
When he saw Pei Zhi, he came up to him with a flattering smile on his face.
"The Inspector is back."
The Jiang family were shocked when they heard this. They only knew that Pei Zhi had been following His Majesty, but had never heard the news. They thought that His Majesty was grateful for the life-saving kindness, so he took him with him. around.
The father-in-law was here just now and didn't say anything about this at all.
Mrs. Jiang spoke with some shock: "May I ask, father-in-law, what grade is this inspector?"
The old eunuch looked at Pei Zhi, his face even more flattering: "Back to Madam, Mr. Pei is now a second-grade inspector personally appointed by the Holy Emperor."
This is the only honor of the Jingming Dynasty!
Mrs. Jiang has seen the big world after all. From the initial shock to the present, she quickly recovered.
She knew from the beginning that Pei Zhi was capable, and indeed he was.
Pei Zhi saw the little girl staring blankly in front of him, and couldn't help but chuckled, "Why are you standing there?"
Jiang Li couldn't tell what she was feeling at the moment. She pouted with obvious joy on her face: "Why didn't Third Brother tell me earlier?"
She was genuinely happy for him.
She knew from the time her third brother came to His Majesty that he would definitely embark on this path.
In his previous life, Pei Zhi walked to His Majesty first and gained His Majesty's trust. Emperor Xiaojing ignored the objections of his courtiers and directly named him a second-grade inspector.
Suddenly, the emperor's ministers, young dignitaries, and Luoyang were all competing to praise this young powerful official.
However, she clearly remembered that Pei Zhi was seriously injured in his previous life before he gained this trust and this official position, but now his third brother was standing in front of her in good health.
Jiang Li suddenly remembered that when he came to celebrate his birthday a few days ago, he only heard from General Shen that his third brother had suffered some minor injuries.
Only then did she react belatedly. If it was really a so-called minor injury, why would Shen Yi be so worried and insist on following him out.
Also, the third brother did not bring anyone else with him, only Yuan Jing, who was highly skilled in medicine, was with him.
Pei Zhi didn't feel her emotion. He just thought that the little girl was shocked by the sudden imperial edict, so he pushed the little girl forward.
"Go ahead, Ali."
Jiang Li came back to her senses when she heard him calling her like this.
The third brother actually calls her by her name on weekdays. He only calls her like this when he wants to tease her in some bad fun, or when he wants to make some promise to himself.
She instantly realized that this will was for her?
Everyone's eyes fell on Jiang Li.
The old eunuch also had a smile on his face: "Miss, take the order."
Jiang Li was kneeling on the ground upright, and the rest of the Jiang family were also kneeling on the ground.
Pei Zhi lifted up his robe and was about to kneel down when the eunuch stopped him with a flattering look on his face: "Your Majesty specifically told me that Inspector Pei is still injured and there is no need to kneel down."
When Pei Zhi heard this, he lowered his eyes and bowed with his hands towards the imperial edict: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Jiang Li's palms tightened. Sure enough, the third brother was afraid that he would worry, so he kept hiding it from himself.
The eunuch then opened the bright yellow imperial edict: "By God's blessing, the emperor summons Jiang Li, the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family, who has a gentle temperament, virtuous character, and good appearance. She is specially granted the title of Lord of Rongan County and has 300 households in the city. .”
Jiang Li never expected that His Majesty would actually make him the Lord of Rongan County, and he would also have three hundred houses. He had real power and was not just a false name.
This is what the third brother asked for himself——
Seeing Jiang Li like this, Pei Zhi felt a little funny and reminded him, "Are you so happy? You still haven't accepted the order."
Only then did Jiang Li react. She recovered her thoughts and kowtowed. She took the imperial edict with both hands and said, "My dear, thank you for your majesty's grace."
The eunuch who proclaimed the decree gave him a hand: "The Lord of Rongan County is too polite."
Before, Pei Zhi had been following His Majesty, without any real power in his hands, and he worked conscientiously.
His Majesty rarely has such capable people around him. During this incognito trip, Pei Zhi almost completed many things, and there is a shortage of people around His Majesty.
Logically speaking, he would not be directly given the position of a second-grade inspector, but he accidentally encountered that assassination.
It can be regarded as the second major assassination incident since His Majesty's surrender. The first time was when Pei Zhi saved him in Qingzhou, and the second time was in Xuzhou, when Pei Zhi sacrificed his life to save him again.
Only this time, the ambush was obviously more vigilant than before, and the people around His Majesty were specially moved away that day.
Only Pei Zhi and a few secret guards were left.
If Pei Zhi hadn't sensed something was wrong and risked his own life to save His Majesty, I'm afraid they would have really succeeded.
His Majesty was just frightened, but nothing happened. It was just that Pei Zhi almost lost most of his life in order to protect His Majesty.
His Majesty was known for his good temper in the past. That day when he saw Pei Zhi lying on the bed bleeding profusely, the imperial doctor was kneeling on the ground, saying that there was nothing he could do to save his life.
His Majesty became furious and said that no matter what, he would save Pei Zhi and cure him. If he couldn't be cured, the imperial doctors would have to pay for his life.
Pei Zhi was also a tough man. All the imperial doctors said that he might not be able to survive. He forcefully snatched his life back from the hands of the King of Hell.
Emperor Xiaojing was overjoyed when he found out that he had woken up and asked him what kind of reward he wanted.
Pei Zhi just frowned: "Your Majesty, I have a younger sister. When I followed Your Majesty out, I promised her that I would go back to accompany her at the end of the year."
"I promised to protect her happiness for the rest of her life."
Pei Zhi knelt down and saluted: "I would like to invite my sister-in-law to be granted the title of County Lord."
When Emperor Xiaojing heard this, he was a little surprised: "You saved my two lives, and instead of asking for your own, you helped an unrelated adopted sister to beg the county master?"
His Majesty is quite clear about Pei Zhi's background. The information in his hands indicates that the Jiang family had not treated Pei Zhi well before.
And this daughter of the Jiang family also has a story.
He disappeared when he was young and was found only when he was young.
Pei Zhi said solemnly: "I promised her. If I hadn't remembered my promise to my little sister, I might not have been able to survive this time."
"If something like this happens again next time, and I am not as lucky as today when I wake up, I will feel more at ease with my little sister having the identity of the county lord."
When Emperor Jing Xiao heard what he said, he said three good words in a row.
Only such people, who value love and justice, can stay by their side.
If Pei Zhi really wanted a powerful position, Emperor Xiaojing would probably not give it to him. The emperor's mind was inherently unpredictable.
The word "Rong'an" was obtained by Pei Zhi himself.
Emperor Xiaojing asked at that time: "Why these two words?"
After hearing this, Pei Zhi raised his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, my little sister has been delicate since she was a child. Since I promised her peace and happiness, she will live a prosperous and peaceful life."
After hearing these words, Emperor Xiaojing's eyes almost overflowed with satisfaction. He was a superior, the most noble person in the Jingming Dynasty. People who followed him were not only valuing love and justice, but it was not enough. , but also a certain degree of ambition——
Ambitious and loyal enough.
Pei Zhi will become the sharpest knife in his hand.
——
Everyone then stood up. There was a smile on the eunuch's face. Mrs. Jiang took out the money bag she had prepared and handed it to the eunuch.
"Excuse me, father-in-law, please announce the decree."
The father-in-law did not shirk like last time and took the money bag: "Thank you, old lady, for the reward."
"With Inspector Pei and the county lord in Jiang Mansion, there will be plenty of wealth in the future."
Mrs. Jiang smiled and said, "Then let me borrow my father-in-law's good words."
"Then the slave will go back and resume his life." After saying this, he nodded to Pei Zhi, then shook off the dust and left.
After Jiang Li was sure that the eunuch had left, her eyes turned slightly red, and then she looked at Pei Zhi: "Third brother, why didn't you tell me?"
Pei Zhi fought hard for her honor as county head.
