The items to be inspected needed to be carefully checked before being handed over. That night, the inspection was held on the school grounds of Fushi Yamen in Jingxi Town. Shen Hao and Jiang Chengdu were present.
In addition, three Golden Sword monks and a dozen palace eunuchs also came.
The Golden Sword Cultivator came here to verify the treasures, elixirs, magic weapons and other things confiscated this time, and to serve as evidence, while the eunuchs were from the Imperial Palace Internal Affairs Office, so naturally they came here to collect some of the confiscated things.
A total of several copies of the list were copied, and Shen Hao and Jiang Cheng both had them, as did the Golden Sword monks and the eunuchs. Even because they had captured Xu Mansion's accountant before, Jiang Cheng and the people in the palace still had a confession in hand. After checking the list given by Shen Hao, they all looked over in surprise.
Jiang Cheng nodded towards Shen Hao with a smile, he must be more reserved. The leading eunuch praised Shen Hao for his honesty and integrity with an exaggerated expression.
honest? I?
This was the first time Shen Hao heard someone commenting on him like this. The reason is that he did not withhold anything privately during this inspection, and the list of items that were not confiscated is generally consistent with the amount stated by the Xu family accounting office. Jiang Cheng, who was used to seeing geese plucking their feathers, secretly praised Shen Hao for being "sensible", and the eunuch was naturally even more surprised, "Is there really an honest person in this world? Tsk tsk, are you stupid?"
The handover ended when it was almost dawn. The group of eunuchs led the carriages and horses and left with satisfaction. Judging by their posture, they took away 50% of the seized items, mainly money, but less of the pills and the like.
"You're a smart kid. I didn't expect that His Majesty would directly send people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to participate in the handover, but you took precautions first. This time you have gained an "incorruptible" impression in front of Yao Xiaotian, which will be good for you in the future. Yes." As soon as the eunuchs left, Jiang Chengcheng smiled and patted Shen Hao on the shoulder.
honest? This is really something Shen Hao never thought of before.
Is it an unexpected gain?
"Sir, did you just say Yao Xiaotian?"
"Well, that's the eunuch who complimented you just now. Although the head of the palace's internal affairs department has no rank and is not a serious official, he has been your majesty's companion since he was a child. He is close to your majesty, so he comes in handy at critical times."
Shen Hao nodded in agreement after hearing this, but he didn't care too much in his heart. He is now a mere member of a fifth-grade Baihu household. Although he is high-ranking, he is still too far away from someone like Yao Xiaotian who is close to Tianyan.
"You can ask someone to take away 10% of the remaining things from my side later. Don't be too little. These things will also be accounted for by the commander's office. You can take some back and give your people some reward for running errands." .”
This is not corruption, but interception from public accounts. If it is a local government office, the proceeds from such searches will go into the national treasury. However, the Xuanqing Guards are the emperor's private soldiers, and the expenses are provided by the Emperor's Internal Affairs Office, so the proceeds from the inspections also belong to the Internal Affairs Office and the Xuanqing Guards at all levels. .
However, how these intercepted items are divided up depends on the minds of the officers at all levels.
"Then thank you, sir." Shen Hao was not polite and accepted without giving up.
Taking advantage of the stall where things were being distributed on the school grounds, Jiang Cheng asked Shen Hao to accompany him for a walk around the school grounds. He wanted to take this opportunity to say hello to Shen Hao first because he had something to do.
"This matter has come to an end. Your contribution is obvious to all, and you were able to take down Xu Hong in such a short period of time, which made many people praise you. Hahaha."
"Your Excellency, you are ridiculous. I also have some luck..."
Before he could finish his modest words, Jiang Cheng waved his hand and interrupted. He shook his head and said, "There's no need to be modest. Luck is a part of strength. If someone else does it, without your luck, it wouldn't be possible. So even if the case is Suddenly a lid was placed on it, but it has nothing to do with you. I still have to give you the rewards that deserve it."
Commendation?
Shen Hao quickly pricked up his ears. But I didn’t have much expectations in my heart.
He had thought before that even if he had a lot of credit this time, he would probably be rewarded with some pills and meritorious deeds. It was unlikely that he would be promoted in terms of title and position. After all, he was too young in terms of age and seniority. Besides, the Black Flag Camp in Fengli City is now a good place to brush up your merits and qualifications. Otherwise, why would he bother to set up a "pilot"? They are all making plans for their future.
Therefore, Shen Hao's expectations for "rewards" are limited, and he is more prepared to regard it as an accumulation.
However, Jiang Cheng set the tone for the rest of his words as soon as he opened his mouth, directly lifting Shen Hao's heart.
"Your abilities are obvious to all, and you have great potential. You performed well this time, so I'm going to put some extra burden on you."
Shen Hao paused at first, then quickly followed up, and said cautiously: "I would like to thank you for your appreciation, but we have just started on the road here in Fengri City, and many things have just begun. If I..."
"Stop, I haven't even finished speaking. How did you know you would be transferred?"
"Ah? But there is no shortage here in Fengli City. This..."
Jiang Cheng smiled and said: "The Black Flag Camp in Fengli City was built when I was serving as a Qianhu over there. Later, it was handed over to you, and you made it glorious, and later it became a national dynasty. The only "pilot", it's a good place, don't say you are reluctant to leave, even if you are willing to leave, I will keep you there, so as not to give others an advantage. Besides, many things in Fengri City cannot be separated from you.
But you are indeed very lucky. Thanks to this "pilot plan" you came up with yourself, we have a legitimate reason to break the rules. "
After a pause, Jiang Cheng continued: "I am going to move you up one level to the position of Deputy Qianhu. The title will remain at the fifth level. Without taking up the vacancies of others, to put it simply, you will be promoted to the rank of Hundreds of Black Flag Camps. The household establishment will be raised to deputy thousand-household establishment."
Shen Hao felt excited.
There is no need to transfer, he will be promoted in place, and his position will be promoted by half a level. This approach has no precedent in the Jingjiu Dynasty, but it can indeed be used as a "pilot" to deal with the past. The benefits are real.
You don't have to leave Sealing City, a good place to brush up your qualifications, and you can get promoted. This benefit is almost perfect.
"Thank you for your cultivation! My subordinates will remember it till death!" Shen Hao said, knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists in thanks.
"Get up, this is what you deserve."
"Without the help of adults, my subordinates would never have achieved what they have today!" Shen Hao said from the bottom of his heart, and Jiang Cheng really had nothing to say to him.
"Okay, there's no need to act like a child, just remember it in your heart. Get up." After saying that, he reached out and lifted Shen Hao's arm.
Shen Hao stood up and thanked him again.
"After this case is settled, do you have any next plans?"
"Sir, my subordinates plan to continue to improve the Blackwater Plan. This time, there will be many people from the Border Army and Jingxi Army implicated in the case. It is a good time for us to enter the scene..."
