An imperial envoy is about to arrive in Anshun County because Mr. Xu discovered in the mountains last year that the remnants of the previous dynasty had hijacked and hid tributes.
"Brother Xu, your eldest nephew is now in the Yamen, you know."
"He accidentally overheard the conversation between the county magistrate and the master. I'm afraid there's something wrong with this!"
Guan Laoqi hurriedly told everything he knew.
"What could be wrong?"
Mr. Xu said nonchalantly, "Our father and son found the tribute gifts hidden by the remnants of the previous dynasty and made great achievements. How could it be bad?"
"Brother, how can this be so simple?"
Guan Laoqi looked at Mr. Xu eagerly, "What those big men think in their hearts is different from that of us ordinary people."
"If you want me to see it, why don't you take the boss and the second child out first to avoid the limelight!"
"The third child passed the exam to be the chief criminal officer of our Xiangyi Prefecture. He has a great reputation. Even the imperial envoy can't do anything to him."
"Brother Seventh, don't worry, nothing will happen!"
Mr. Xu didn't think anything would happen to him.
Although he refused to recognize his biological father who had a problem with his head, it was impossible for those in the court not to know about his relationship with Marquis Dingbei.
If something really happened to him, it would only be because he was implicated.
If this were the case, he would be able to run away from the monk but not from the temple, and he would be able to hide from the first grade of junior high school but not the fifteenth grade.
So, just wait!
Mr. Xu sent Guan Laoqi away calmly, closed the courtyard door, and turned back to his room.
And Fu Bao, who was held in Mr. Xu's arms, began to doze off.
Regarding what Guan Laoqi just said, Fubao didn't take it seriously at all.
She is God’s most beloved child!
If this case involving the remnants of the previous dynasty could also implicate her biological father, Fu Bao felt that she, God's most beloved child, could find a piece of tofu and suffocate herself to death.
…
At noon on the third day after Guan Laoqi met Mr. Xu, there was a sudden roar of gongs and drums on the road outside Lingshui Village.
Zuoqiu, the county magistrate of Anshun County, took the officials of the yamen and escorted the imperial envoys who had traveled a long distance from the capital and arrived in Lingshui Village in great numbers.
Mr. Xu received a message from the county government early in the morning, asking him to wait at home to receive the order.
"In accordance with the destiny of heaven and the emperor's rule, Xu Huaiyi, the eldest son of Dingbei Marquis, is loyal to the country..."
The imperial envoy stood in front of Mr. Xu and others, unfolded the imperial edict and read it aloud.
And as the imperial envoy read out, the people of Lingshui Village who were kneeling on the ground were stunned.
Old Xu family, Dingbei Hou Mansion...
My dear mother!
The people of Lingshui Village were all shocked. Mr. Xu, who was happy and cheerful in the village, actually had such a prominent background. It was amazing, amazing.
No wonder the old Xu family’s ancestral graves are smoking!
Wait, since Mr. Xu is the eldest son of Mr. Hou, who is buried in the grave of the old Xu family's ancestors
Some villagers thought of this.
Unfortunately, before they could think deeply, they forgot about this incident.
Because the imperial edict was read to the end, the final reward content was released.
Reward a thousand taels of silver!
Xu's Yuanjin was granted the title of Master of Defu Incense.
"What kind of operation is this?"
Everyone around was dumbfounded. It was Mr. Xu and his two sons who made the meritorious service. How come it was the old daughter of the Xu family who finally got the biggest reward
A girl who was going to get married sooner or later turned out to be the biggest winner!
"The common people accept the decree and thank the Holy Spirit for His grace!"
Compared with the doubts of the people around him, Mr. Xu had a smile on his face and accepted the imperial edict with joy. (End of chapter)
