On the 20th day of the first lunar month, the reward given to Li Xin by the court finally came down.

However, it was not the imperial edict as imagined, and no eunuch came to read it. The only one who came was a minor official in Jingzhao Mansion who took a court document to Li Xin and came to Li Xin's house.

After all, such a small matter cannot be done to the people in the palace, nor can they use the imperial edict. Generally, the superiors say hello to the Ministry of War. After the people in the Ministry of War are done, they will be handed over to the people in Jingzhao Prefecture to notify.

Now, the little official in soapy clothes standing in front of Li Xin was sent to inform him by Jingzhao Prefecture.

Li Xin was about to receive the order as he was in the TV series. The minor official helped him up and said with a smile: "Young Master Li, this is a document from the Ministry of War, not an imperial edict. Just take it and accept it, there is no need to kowtow."

Li Xin nodded, not surprised.

With his rank, he is indeed not worthy of using the people in the palace. There are countless small officials in the court. If every person changes, the imperial edict will be used, the court will not be able to afford the money.

The materials and workmanship of the imperial edict are very particular.

Li Xin opened the document with the seal of the Ministry of War and read it roughly. Simply put, because Li Xin made great contributions to arresting the assassin, the court added him a Wusan official, the 8th rank.

The so-called Wusan official is just a title. Having this title means that Li Xin can receive a salary of six stones and six dou from the court every month. However, only this title does not mean that Li Xin has become an official. He has no real position yet, not even a yamen, and is still a serious idle person.

Generally speaking, such scattered officials are favored to descendants of ministers. The so-called wife and son are the saying. It is surprising that Li Xin, who is a martial scattered official before he even entered the court.

After Li Xin took the document, he had an answer in his heart.

However, he still needs the status of this martial arts official, so his salary is naturally not taken seriously by Li Xin. However, after he has the status of this martial arts official, he will probably not start with an ordinary Yulin Lang if he joins Yulin Guard.

You should know that the grades in the entire Yulin Guard are not high. The Central Army General is only the fifth rank. The left and right Lang Generals are from the fifth rank, the sixth rank, and the school rank is only the seventh rank. As soon as Li Xin entered the Yulin Guard, he was a 8th rank. He would never start with a small soldier.

In addition to this document, there are two sets of things similar to the official uniform. Because they are Wusan officials, they also sent them with a standard long sword.

Li Xin took these things over and thanked the little official of Jingzhao Mansion: "Thank you brothers for this trip."

This little official is just a errand, without any official or rank. Hearing this, he quickly lowered his head and smiled: "Young Master Li, please be polite. From today on, you are the one who receives salary in the court. Depending on your age, your future achievements will definitely be limitless. In the future, the villain will point to you to support you..."

Li Xin was fifteen years old when he first came to this world. Now he has been sixteen years old. Even according to the rules of this era, he has just become an adult. In the eyes of this little official, his future is indeed limitless.

Li Xin reached out and patted the clerk on the shoulder and said softly: "Don't bother brothers to go this trip. For this, I will sit in the banker tonight and I will treat my brother to a meal."

The little official shook his head repeatedly and left in a panic.

Li Xin was a little curious.

According to normal circumstances, these low-level officials are most greedy for small gains. If they invite him to dinner, they should be asking for anything. How can they run away like avoiding ghosts and gods?

Li Xin walked to the gate of the yard, glanced at the little official's back as he was leaving, and frowned.

Then he saw a green sedan chair parked in the alley at the door of his house.

Li Xin recognized this sedan chair.

The young man stepped forward and took a few steps, bowed slightly to the sedan chair: "Master Fujun."

A muffled groan came from the sedan chair. Li Ye, the Jingzhao Yin, who was wearing a fourth-rank court uniform, bent down and walked out of the sedan chair.

He was originally a senior official in the third rank of Beijing. Last time, he was directly demoted to a large rank because of Li Xin's incident, which made the prefect of the capital who was expected to go further and still feel angry.

After the old man walked out of the sedan chair, he put his hands behind his back, glanced at Li Xin lightly, and said in a deep voice: "I had to forget you, but today the Ministry of War issued the documents, and I remembered that there was such a person as you. I haven't seen you for a while. You, a brave boy, actually made contributions to your majesty and became an official because of this."

This old man should be Li Xin’s uncle in his bloodline, but Li Xin did not recognize this relationship. The young man turned his body sideways and chuckled softly: "Since Lord Fujun is here, it is not a matter of standing at the door, go in and talk."

Li Ye's position is extremely critical in the capital. He has enough qualifications and abilities. He was originally qualified to join one of the six ministries and became the official tycoon of the Left Minister in recent years.

You should know that four of the six divisions are now all made by four princes with the title of Shangshu. In other words, the second-in-command left minister of these four divisions is actually the actual top leader.

Li Xin didn't want to offend such a big Buddha.

Li Ye was not polite either. The old man took his hands behind his back and stepped into Li Xin's yard.

Then the old man sat down next to the stone table in Li Xin's yard. After taking the tea handed over by Li Xin, the old man lowered his head and sipped the tea, and said calmly: "You kid is still a polite person. Tell me, what have you done during this period? Why did you provoke those Li Ni's assassins?"

Li Xin lowered his head and smiled, "As the Yin of Jingzhao, you should be familiar with the things that night. I was resting at home that night, and several assassins suddenly rushed in and wanted to kill my life. In desperation, I had to fight back to death. It was my fate. The two assassins were injured. By chance, they stopped them."

As he said that, Li Xin stretched out his right arm and said calmly: "My right arm was also cut by them, and he has not recovered yet."

When I was assassinated that night, it was the first day of the Lunar New Year. People from Jingzhao Mansion were on holiday, so the matter was handled by people from the palace and Yulinwei. As the Yin of Jingzhao, Li Ye only learned about the incident afterwards.

Li Ye sat on the stone bench, looked up at Li Xin, and whispered: "What was going on that night?"

Li Xin was silent for a while, then said calmly: "That night, the people from the Nanhou Mansion and Yulinwei took the blame together. Most of the time, the little marquis saw that I was a little unhappy, so he drove the assassins to my house."

Speaking of this, the young man who had just turned sixteen smiled slightly: "Maybe the little marquis overestimated the combat effectiveness of those assassins, which made me survive by chance."

"Li Chun?"

Lord Fujun frowned and said in a deep voice: "You are his brother, how could he do this?"

Although Li Xin's identity has not been recognized by anyone, Li Ye has regarded Li Xin as his junior. Otherwise, as his identity, he would not have visited Li Xin in person twice.

Li Xin sat down opposite the Lord Fujun, his voice calm: "Mr Fujun is wrong. I am not a member of the Li family, and the young marquis did not regard me as a member of the Li family, so he did nothing wrong."

Speaking of this, Li Xin smiled.
