Chapter 208
Shen Hao hurriedly stood up, cupped his hands and said modestly: "Your Highness is too famous, and the ability to be an official is low, and only relying on Master Wu's command to have an inch of merit."
It is not the Shou Wang who has the final say on the merits of the Black Flag Camp, even what Wu Changhe said, but Jiang Cheng, the governor. When is it the King of Shou's turn? So Shen Hao has no interest in such awkward things like showing merit in front of the King of Shou, so he just perfunctory Wu Changhe. Anyway, isn't Wu Changhe from your King of Shou? Just entertain yourselves.
"Oh? Shen Baihu is very humble. Master Shen discovered the case of concealing the plague and filed a file for investigation. The credit for it is the greatest. I'm afraid the reward will be generous!"
Edition reward? Shen Hao almost forgot about this. In the past, the Yamen of the Plague Reward for the Plague Case said that it would be announced at the regular meeting, but after so long, the regular meeting has been held several times but there is no news, so it was suppressed for some reason.
"It's all part of the lower officials' duties, so I dare not invite rewards."
"Oh? So Shen Baihu didn't get a reward for making such a great contribution? Wu Qianhu, it's not kind of you to do so." Yang Lin laughed, and turned his head to joke with Wu Changhe.
Wu Changhe was obviously taken aback for a moment, and then he also laughed and said, "Your Highness, this is a mistake to blame the lower officials. Mr. Shen belongs to the Black Flag Camp. Although it is under the jurisdiction of Qianhu in Fengri City in name, the affiliation relationship is two-tiered. As for the reward, Master Xue Houxuan from the Black Banner Camp of the Fushi Yamen in Jingxi Town is deciding."
Although it is true, Wu Changhe made people feel awkward when he said it on this occasion, as if there was something in his words.
Yang Lin laughed even more heartily when he heard the words, and it took him a long time to hear him say: "Xue Houxuan! Haha, he is just an indifferent vase. It is not surprising that he can forget about the reward. Hahaha"
vase?
If Shen Hao remembers correctly, Xue Houxuan is a man, but Yang Lin used "vase" to describe him, ah this.
"Come on!"
Yang Lin laughed for a long time before he stopped, then raised his voice and called his subordinates over without waiting for the reaction of others.
"Go, get the silver box I brought."
The subordinate officer responded, and quickly returned with a half-foot-square silver metal box in both hands, respectfully placed it in front of Yang Lin, and then stepped back.
Yang Lin opened the box with a smile, and the inside was crystal clear.
"Wow!"
Wu Changhe and the others are also considered big bosses, and now they subconsciously exclaimed when they saw the things in the box, their eyes lit up.
Shen Hao sat at the end and couldn't see what was in the box, but he was certain that Yang Lin asked the box to be brought to him.
Sure enough, Yang Lin said while turning the box around so that Shen Hao could see what was inside: "Here are twenty middle-grade spirit stones. Since the governor's office didn't reward Shen Baihu, then This king will act on his behalf once more, I hope Master Shen can still see it."
into the eyes?
This is the first time for Shen Hao to see real spirit stones, and they are middle-grade spirit stones! ?
Lingshi is divided into four classes. The last one is low-grade, then middle-grade, top-grade, and extreme-grade. A medium-grade spirit stone of the same specification is approximately equal to ten low-grade spirit stones of the same specification. In other words, this box of twenty middle-grade spirit stones is worth two hundred low-grade spirit stones. And Shen Hao remembers that fifty low-grade spirit stones can buy a rare middle-grade magic weapon soft armor.
If you really want to count it, this box of middle-grade spirit stones is definitely not much less than his current net worth. The most important thing is that middle-grade spirit stones can be used as spiritual energy absorption, and the effect is much better and more efficient than that of kung fu. Therefore, there are many things that low-grade spirit stones are used as analog currency, but medium-grade and above spirit stones are basically not circulated in the market, because most of them are used up.
After all, he is the prince who is so generous. And looking at Yang Lin's expression, twenty middle-grade spirit stones didn't seem to matter to him.
To or not to?
Shen Hao hesitated for a moment, then stood up, bowed and cupped his hands, and said, "Your Highness kindly accepts it. It's just that what you did before you stepped down as an official is your duty, and you never dare to invite rewards, let alone accept such generous gifts from Your Highness. Please take it back, Your Highness."
Yang Lin's relaxed posture paused for a moment, then he turned his head to the side, looked at the bowed Shen Hao with interest for a long time, and said with a smile: "Shen Baihu thinks that the king has not rewarded you enough? Come on, Bring another box."
The subordinate officer immediately went to get the silver boxes of the same size, opened them and put them side by side. In this way, there are a total of forty middle-grade spirit stones on the table.
"How? Lord Shen, do you think this is enough?"
Shen Hao frowned, and no longer bowed down, but straightened his back, and said to Yang Lin expressionlessly: "Please don't misunderstand, King Shou, the meaning of being an official is that you will not be rewarded for nothing, not because you think The King of Shou has less rewards."
"It's not that the reward is less, it's that I think this king is not qualified to reward you? Shen Baihu, do you mean that?"
"The meaning of the lower official is that you will not be rewarded for your merits, not because you think that the King of Shou has less rewards." Shen Hao didn't even bother to talk to the other party, so he just repeated it. A lord who had nothing to do with him ran over out of nowhere and wanted to hit him in the face with a spirit stone? What kind of mentality is this? If you have the ability, don’t go for twenty or twenty thousand, you come for twenty thousand or twenty thousand, maybe you will really be corrupted by you.
Repeating a sentence, even if the expression is respectful, it is perfunctory visible to the naked eye.
Yang Lin snorted coldly, being stimulated by Shen Hao's ignorance and flattery.
"Lord Shen, King Shou is kind enough to you." Wu Changhe next to him wanted to help, but he was interrupted by Shen Hao in the middle of the sentence, and he could only swallow it back.
"The meaning of the lower official is that you will not be rewarded for no merit, not that you feel that the King of Shou has less rewards."
Well, it's over and over again. This meant that he didn't care about the face of King Shou and Wu Changhe at all.
"Presumptuous!" Yang Lin was really angry this time, and smashed the armrest of the chair with a bang, the evil spirit in his eyes was not concealed at all.
Shen Hao still didn't change his face. He arched his hands and continued: "The meaning of the lower official is that you will not be rewarded for no merit."
"you!"
"The lower official means"
"Get out!"
"The next official will leave." Then Shen Hao withdrew from the inside. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he thought to himself: I don't know why.
On the same day, the news that Shen Hao confronted King Shou in public and made King Shou furious spread like crazy. This gossip has a great market in Fengri City. Some people are curious, gloating, or suspicious. I don't know how many people All waiting to see the play.
But Shen Hao didn't panic in the slightest as the old god was there. What to do, even the errand of defending Yang Lin is not pretending to be done by others, but continues to lead by himself.
As for worry, Shen Hao felt that he had nothing to worry about. There were so many people present at the time, no matter what you do, it is impossible to give him a "disrespectful" hat, right? Moreover, his refusal was well-founded. He is a majestic official of the imperial court. It is up to the imperial court to decide what should be rewarded and punished. When will it be the prince's turn to reward him? And it is still a reward in the name of "meritorious service in investigation and handling".
Is this a reward? Shen Hao snorted, that was a trap, but he was not fooled.
