The entire Southern Commandery Investigation Department, that is, Lei Chongxiao, the governor, was awarded the title of viscount for his contribution in quelling the border rebellion. Now Su Fei is only a thousand households, but he is also awarded the title of viscount. To be able to receive this honor shows how much His Majesty values him.
Lei Chongxiao was also a little surprised, and then a happy smile appeared on his face.
In any case, Su Fei is his subordinate. Su Fei's contribution is great and the reward is great. The more glorious his face is.
When he detailed Su Fei's achievements in the palace yesterday, although he expected a heavy reward, he did not expect it to be so generous.
He was given a title, given silver, and received a house, which was already a very high courtesy.
Su Fei high-pitched channel.
"Su Fei, thank you for Your Majesty's kindness. I will serve you to the death and live up to Your Majesty's trust and cultivation. Long live my emperor, long live the emperor,"
After that, he respectfully took Imperial Decree and Silver Notes with both hands.
The leading chamberlain stepped forward with a smile and a friendly tone.
"Lord Su, His Majesty knows that you are only eighteen years old, and often praises you to your ministers for being 'youthful, promising and courageous'. In the future, you must continue to share His Majesty's worries and work for Imperial Guard. You must never let down this divine grace."
"I will keep this in mind."
Su Fei responded with his hands raised.
After the servants and honor guard left, thousands of households immediately gathered around and congratulated Su Fei.
Thousand Households Commander Cheng patted Su Fei on the shoulder, his tone full of envy.
"Thousand Households Commander Su. Congratulations, Vermilion Bird Street's house is a place we can't even imagine."
"After you have settled down, I have to visit your mansion."
Thousand Households Commander Qiu said with a smile, his eyes full of admiration.
"Yes Lord Su, during your trip to Guangling, you not only solved a major case and made great achievements. You also won a title and a house. You are simply a winner in life."
Su Fei smiled and cupped his fists.
"My lords, you are very polite. I cannot be where I am today without the support of Commander Lei and the cooperation of the navy of Admiral Miao. I dare not take the credit alone. I hope that you, the Qianhu adults, will give you more advice in the future."
Lei Chongxiao looked at the lively scene in front of him and said with a smile.
"Okay, stop hanging around. Viscount Su still has to go through the documents for title registration and house handover. Su Fei, come with me. I'll take you to the inner courtyard. The silver and silk given by His Majesty will also be sent to your new house as soon as possible."
"Yes, Lord Lei."
Su Fei responded and followed Lei Chongxiao towards the inner courtyard. The thousands of households behind him looked at his back, the envy in their eyes never diminished.
"It's so irritating to compare people to each other."
Lei Chongxiao led Su Fei through the two vermilion arches and came to the meeting hall of Pacification Office's inner courtyard.
The furnishings in the hall are more solemn than those in the duty room in the outer courtyard. There is a long, heavy pear wood table in the middle, with carved seats on both sides, and a design of mountains and rivers hung on the wall.
There was a faint scent of sandalwood burning in the copper stove in the corner, and the smoke curled up.
"Sit down."
Lei Chongxiao walked to the main seat and sat down, raised his hand to signal Su Fei to sit opposite, and then shouted to the door.
"Come here, make a pot of good Biluochun for Thousand Households Commander Su."
Not long after, a maid came in with a tea tray, placed two cups of steaming tea in front of the two of them, and then quietly left.
Lei Chongxiao picked up the tea cup, but did not drink it. He just used the cup lid to gently fiddle with the floating leaves. His eyes fell on Su Fei, and his tone was somewhat gentle,
"Su Fei, what do you think about today's reward?"
Su Fei held the tea cup and spoke truthfully.
"Your Majesty is so kind to me. I have nothing but gratitude in my heart. I have no other thoughts."
Lei Chongxiao couldn't help but smile when he heard this and put down his tea cup.
"I feel relieved that you think so. In fact, His Majesty highly recognizes your contribution. When I reported in the Royal Study Room yesterday, His Majesty also said that it is Great Xuan's blessing that you have such courage and ability at such a young age."
"Even Ministry of Revenue Minister Lord Zhang is quite impressed with you."
He paused and changed the subject slightly.
"After all, you are a Qianhu who has just been promoted. You have not been in the Qianhu position for a long time. If you are promoted to an official position rashly at this time, it will inevitably make other Qianhu with senior qualifications dissatisfied and easily attract criticism."
"That's why Your Majesty decided to make you a Viscount, and also gave you a house and money. The title can protect future generations, the house can help you live in peace, and the money can supplement your family income. Although you haven't been promoted to an official position, this reward is indeed not small."
Su Fei After hearing this, his face was not disappointed at all, but he smiled calmly.
"Lord Lei, this subordinate understands the intentions of the court and also understands Pacification Office's rules. To me, Imperial Guard's official position is actually not important."
Lei Chongxiao was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting him to say that, a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes.
"Oh? Thousand Households Commander Su, what do you value?"
Su Fei Zhengse Road.
"The most important thing for my subordinates is to work for Imperial Guard and investigate and solve cases."
"Every time I solve a major case, I can not only eliminate harm for the people, but also help Imperial Guard and the court share their worries. It also allows me to hone myself and increase my knowledge in the process of handling the case. As long as Pacification Office can still handle my cases and give me the opportunity to experience, I will be willing to do it even if I have to be a thousand households."
What Su Fei did not tell Lei Chongxiao is that I am different from you. What I want is the martial arts and skills rewarded by the system.
But to Lei Chongxiao's ears, Su Fei's words were full of loyalty to the emperor and the country, and sincerity without seeking fame or fortune, which made him appreciate Su Fei even more in his heart.
Listen, don't avoid hardships and dangers, and regard investigating and solving crimes as your pursuit.
This is the first time Lei Chongxiao has met this kind of subordinate Qianhu.
Lei Chongxiao was a little stunned.
"Okay, what a great person to work for Imperial Guard. With your heart, I will definitely have a bright future in the future."
"Don't worry, as long as there is a major case, Pacification Office will never treat you badly."
Su Fei nodded slightly.
There is a system in place, and as long as he continues to participate in solving cases, his martial arts and skills will continue to be recorded.
Now he is Grandmaster Realm Seventh Layer, armed with the Perfection Realm martial arts, and his strength can be said to be Grandmaster Realm invincible.
Given time, not to mention the mere official position of Imperial Guard, but the entire Great Xuan, he will be able to do whatever he wants with his own strength.
At that time, becoming enlightened and becoming an ancestor will not mean anything.
At this time, Lei Chongxiao seemed to have remembered something and added.
"By the way, you can move in and apply for the title deed for your new Vermilion Bird Street house today. The house has a three-in and three-out rule. There is also a small garden in the backyard, stables, and warehouses. If you have family members who want to come to the capital, it will be enough for you."
Lei Chongxiao said with a smile on his face.
"Anyway, Pacification Office has nothing to do today, so you can go and do it first."
"Thank you Lord Lei for reminding me, I will go and handle it today."
The two chatted for a few more details about the Guangling case, and Lei Chongxiao specifically told Su Fei that if he needed to mobilize manpower or resources to handle the case in the future, he could report it directly to him without being constrained by Imperial Guard Thousand Households Officer's permission.
