Chapter 281: Big Reward

Shen Hao also didn't expect that just two days after he came back from the imperial city, the rewards from the governor's yamen of Jingxi town came down.

Naturally, it couldn't be because of the Tomb of the Sword Emperor in Tukui City. Xuan Qingwei's performance was quite satisfactory that time, and there were even many omissions. Didn't the commander at that time, Wu Changhe, be imprisoned?

So this edition reward is based on the previous Pingshun City plague cover-up case and the discovery of a strange place.

Ordinary silver coins are meaningless to Shen Hao, and what makes him happy are the other four things.

The first thing is that Jiang Chengcheng had hinted at him before, and his title was promoted, from the hundred households of the sixth rank to the deputy thousand households of the fifth rank.

Don't underestimate the promotion of half a level. For most people, they will not be able to pass the hurdle of fifth rank in their lifetime. What's more, Shen Hao is not yet thirty years old.

It's still a matter of real power.

Looking at the entire old Jing dynasty, one could count on one hand the number of people who could sit in a position of real power at Shen Hao's age and hold the title of deputy fifth rank.

On the one hand, it is true that Shen Hao has done a lot of great things in the past two years and achieved remarkable results. On the other hand, it was also a coincidence that I got on the train of "Black Flag Camp", and because of my experience, I stood on the air vent first, and then I naturally soared up.

Finally, Jiang Cheng's care is also indispensable. For this Shangfeng, Shen Hao is grateful from the bottom of his heart. Not only gave him enough trust, but also gave him enough support, and he will never forget him when there are good things. Just like this promotion. If Jiang Cheng hadn't deliberately suppressed the reward and waited for Shen Hao's cultivation level to increase before issuing it, Shen Hao might have to wait for the next opportunity to step into the ranks of the fifth-rank official.

It can be said that Shen Hao relied on his own ability, plus luck and face, all the way from the fifth-rank official position.

Looking at the faces of those colleagues around who saw the notice, none of them were happy for him, Shen Hao. I'm afraid only those soldiers of the Xuanqing Guard who were rescued by him in Tukui City would congratulate him from the bottom of their hearts. Others may not know how to arrange him in their hearts.

Even Tang Qingyuan, who had the closest relationship with Shen Hao, smiled a little forcedly. But Tang Qingyuan wasn't malicious, it was just that he didn't accept this difference in his heart. It took him decades to get to the fifth rank, while it took Shen Hao only two years from Xiaoqi to Deputy Qianhu.

Comparing people to people can really piss people off.

Apart from the promotion of his title, Shen Hao did not change his position, and continued to serve as the Hundred Households of the Black Flag Battalion in Fengri City.

But in the past, Shen Hao was a sixth-rank official of a hundred households, which was at the same level as the officials of a hundred households in various guards, but now he is a fifth-rank official of a hundred households, half a rank higher than the chief officers of a local guard. From now on, no one will talk about "dual affiliation" when it comes to the command of the Black Flag Battalion.

This is the first edition reward that makes Shen Hao happy. Then the second edition reward is meritorious service, and it has been given four rotations!

Counting the first-rank Viscount on Shen Hao and five ranks, it just happened to allow him to be promoted to the second-rank Viscount.

Now the benefits of the title are not yet reflected, but Shen Hao knows that with the improvement of his title, he will invisibly establish a position among the upper class of the old Jing Dynasty. This position is sometimes no worse than a position, and it is easier Accepted by many high-ranking officials.

Of course, Shen Hao also has the benefits that he can feel immediately after the promotion of title and title: Xuan Qingwei re-approved a house for him, which is three times larger than the previous one, and he can move in at any time.

After becoming an official and a noble, there are two more affordable things.

A new goose spine knife, and it is a high-grade magic weapon!

It is said that Xuanqing Weili usually does not distribute top-rank magic weapons until the rank of the fifth rank, and it is rare for Shen Hao to be distributed from the fifth rank.

Of course, just like the standard instruments issued before, Shen Hao only has the right to use these things but does not own them. Once he resigns or dies, these things will be taken back immediately.

The last thing is matched with this top-grade goose spine knife. A sword technique called "Splitting Light".

This is the first time for Shen Hao to see a systematic sword technique. He used to learn it from the booklets issued by Xuan Qingwei. Most of them were mixed up with the tricks of the army. Although the practicality is not low, it cannot be ignored. Fragmented.

So this knife plus a set of knife skills can be regarded as something that Shen Hao desperately needs. He still remembers the scene where he was completely suppressed by the phantasmagoric cloud sword in the Yunjian domain with his sword skills. Now that he has the sword skills, he should be able to improve a lot.

In addition to Shen Hao's heavy reward, the rewards of the soldiers of the Black Flag Battalion below are also eye-catching. Even the Qianhu Guards who had previously reinforced Pingshun City were rewarded heavily, and none of them were left behind.

"Follow Mr. Shen and have meat to eat!"

This sentence was first spread from the Black Flag Camp in Licheng, and later spread to Qianhusuo. At that time, many people didn't think so and even laughed. But now, seeing the smiles on the faces of every rewarded person, it is true that those with the surname Shen can eat meat, and it is justifiable to eat it.

That night, Shen Hao held a banquet and called all the people close to him, and set up a table in the restaurant.

This is already a rare event for Shen Hao. When he was promoted to a hundred households before, he invited Tang Qingyuan alone.

Wang Jian, Wang Yiming, Tang Qingyuan, Zhu Shou, Chen Tianwen, Liu Kuan, Zhang Qian, and Gan Lin all came.

The wine was of course Wuliangye, and the good ones said it was enjoyable, while the light drinkers like Wang Jian had to shout "good wine" while scratching their ears while drinking, which made others feel uncomfortable for them.

A meal of wine is divided into several pours at the end. A few people headed by Zhang Qian and Gan Lin drank so much that they were going to go to Hong En Yuan to continue drinking. But Shen Hao didn't go, and went to the tea room with Tang Qingyuan.

As for Wang Yiming and Wang Jian, they were directly carried home by the attendants. The drinking capacity of these two people is really eye-catching.

Although Shen Hao didn't know much about tea, Tang Qingyuan was an expert, so he led Shen Hao to find a tea room that he often went to.

The tea room was very quiet, Tang Qingyuan made the tea himself, and Shen Hao sat opposite the tea table.

"You don't want to drink flower wine with Zhang Qian and the others, but you have something to say about bringing me to drink tea, right? Here." Tang Qingyuan made a pot of tea, poured a cup for Shen Hao and handed it over.

"Zhang Qian and the others are not going to drink flower wine, they are looking for a woman. I am not in a hurry to go. I have something to talk to Mr. Tang about."

The atmosphere is subtle.

In the beginning, Tang Qingyuan was the boss of Shen Hao's boss. At that time, Shen Hao was a small banner official, and Tang Qingyuan had a hundred households. Later, Tang Qingyuan personally sent Shen Hao to the position of the general banner of the Black Flag Camp, which seemed to tear Shen Hao's path to promotion. Then Shen Hao made steady progress all the way, and now he is on an equal footing with Tang Qingyuan in terms of title. Even putting aside Tang Qingyuan's current title of "temporary chief officer", Shen Hao's real power is much greater than Tang Qingyuan's.

"What's the matter? Don't tell me you're ready to agree to the marriage from last time?" Tang Qingyuan laughed and joked, but he couldn't help feeling awkward in his heart, feeling like being slapped to death on the beach by the waves.

"What does Master Tang think about the vacancy of the position of chief officer of the Thousand Households Office?"
