Chapter 120 Unexpected difficulties!(2/3)

Bai Xianyu and Qingluo also knelt down together. After all, it was the emperor's imperial edict. No matter how much she was favored by the queen mother, she could not exceed her etiquette.

"The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun said, "Because the Qingyu County Office's chief Chen Mutianhui was smart and made contributions to the Ju Chunlou case, he was promoted to the position of the Six Gate Outside Office of Kyoto, and was specially awarded 100 taels of gold and 20 pieces of silk and satin in Tianqingfang. I admire this!"

Six doors?

After hearing the content of the imperial edict, Chen Mu was stunned.

In the Great Yan Dynasty, the Six Gates were not collectively known as the Three Laws and Laws, but a separate department, under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice.

Generally, it is to maintain public order in the capital, to wander around the world, and to handle ordinary cases.

But what surprised Chen Mu the most was why the emperor sent someone to specially named him? Shouldn’t he be the queen mother?

Is the young emperor planning to repay his grievance with kindness?

Although you kissed me "Future Princess" and destroyed my plan, I am very generous and think that you are a talent, so I am recruited?

Not only was Chen Mu surprised, but even Bai Xianyu frowned and thought about the key points.

After all, she had already received the news in advance, and the Empress Dowager would send someone to reward him, but the emperor sent someone to him, which was really puzzling.

"Captain Chen is not grateful?"

Eunuch Rong stared at the other party with a smile.

Chen Mu came back to his senses and respectfully accepted the imperial edict: "Chen Mu thanked the Holy grace, long live my emperor!"

On the other side, the two coachmen moved three big red boxes into the yard in turn.

"Catcher Chen..."

Eunuch Rong helped him up, and his words were still as intimate as he said, "You must perform well when you enter Beijing this time. Don't let Your Majesty down."

"I understand the humble position."

Chen Mu suppressed his inner doubts and nodded repeatedly.

Eunuch Rong's eyes flashed over Bai Xianyu and patted Chen Mu's shoulder again: "Then the miscellaneous family will not disturb Captain Chen. If we have the chance, we will talk about it again in the capital."

"Father-in-law walked slowly."

Chen Mu helped him into the carriage and stuffed two silver notes without any trace.

Eunuch Rong smiled but didn't refuse.

Watching the carriage go away, Chen Mu opened the imperial edict and smiled bitterly: "It's the captain again. It seems that my name is "captain"."

"Congratulations to my husband."

Bai Xianyu smiled slightly, "The Six Gates are not ordinary yamen, let alone you are the captain of the foreign yamen, which is equivalent to being the second-in-command."

The six doors have two internal and external yamen.

Among them, the chief inspectors are in charge of the inner yamen, most of whom sit in the yamen offices, while the outer yamen is responsible for running errands, such as patrols, etc.

Chen Mu is the headmaster of the foreign yamen, equivalent to the second-in-command.

"I don't have any complaints about being a headmaster, but the situation of the emperor is hard to understand. Shouldn't he hate me? Do you really plan to repay your grudges with kindness?"

Chen Mu scratched his head, feeling that the imperial edict was a bit hot.

There must be a problem with this.

"The soldiers come and the generals block the water and the soil. Since the imperial edict has arrived, I can only take one step at a time."

Bai Xianyu comforted.

Chen Mu sighed slightly: "The big man is really unfathomable. Forget it, I will take office after I finish packing up my belongings."

When Chen Mu returned to the courtyard and saw the three big boxes, he felt a sudden feeling.

A hundred taels of gold, this emperor is quite generous.

I guess I can buy several villas in Beijing, and then I can buy a lot of courtesans, and Xue Caiqing can buy ten of them.

But when Chen Mu opened the box, he was stunned.

Where is gold!

There were copper coins in the box, which were plated with a layer of golden dye, deliberately stacked into small hills.

"Where is the gold of dog days? Did it be swallowed by the dead eunuch?"

Chen Mu opened the other two boxes, which were covered with silk and satin, and there was no trace of gold at all, and he was immediately furious.

Bai Xianyu couldn't help laughing: "My husband, there are few real gold 100 taels of gold that the emperor rewarded."

"Is this thing going to be cheated?"

Chen Mu was stunned.

Bai Xianyu explained: "You don't think about how valuable a hundred taels of gold is. The emperor often wants to reward others, and it will be expensive in the long run. You can't say a few taels or dozens of taels. You can only use this compromise method to show the majesty of the royal family, but not spend too much."

"Poverty! Snap!"

Chen Mu was dumbfounded, so he could only describe it this way.

Is the national treasury that poor?

Bai Xianyu slowly spoke: "My husband, these copper coins wrapped in golden dyes are sometimes more valuable than gold. Many people have specially collected them. Each copper coins have a special mark on the royal family."

"Identity symbol..."

After hearing the other party's explanation, Chen Mu could understand.

Similar to superstar signatures, limited edition luxury goods, commemorative stamps, etc., it has extremely high collection value.

But if the Great Yan Dynasty is accidentally destroyed, then the game will be over.

"I sold them all after I went back, and I should be able to sell a lot of them. I don't know if there are auction houses or something."

Chen Mu thought to himself.

In his eyes, only money is the most realistic.

"Chen Mu received the order—"

Just as he was about to take out the dyed gold coins from the box, a sharp voice suddenly came from outside the door, quite loud.

Chen Mu was stunned and looked at each other with his wife.

Receive the order?

Why is this coming again? Could it be that I just received loneliness?

Without thinking too much, Chen Mu hurriedly ran to check it out.

"Why is this happening?"

At this time, Bai Xianyu's eyes were full of doubts, and she felt something was wrong, so she followed.

Standing outside the door was an old eunuch who was about fifty years old, with white faces and beardless, with two little eunuchs following behind him.

"You are the chief captain Chen Muchen, Qingyu County Office."

Looking at Chen Mu, the old eunuch smiled so well, with wrinkles on his face, which made people feel very fond of each other.

"Chen Mu has met his father-in-law."

"The Zajia is a slave to the Empress Dowager, whose surname is He."

The old eunuch glanced at Bai Xianyu who was following him and said with a smile, "Today, he came to disturb him, is to bring the Queen Mother's decree to Captain Chen."

The Queen Mother’s Decree?

Chen Mu was completely confused.

This is a coincidence. As soon as the emperor's imperial edict left, the empress dowager's imperial edict arrived. Can't you, mother and son discuss it?

Isn't it good to send it directly to SF Express?

"Captain Chen, why don't you answer the order quickly?" the old eunuch said loudly.

Chen Mu had no choice but to kneel down and listen to the order.

"Chen Mu, the captain of Qingyu County, has repeatedly solved strange cases and made great contributions in the case of capturing snake demons. He specially transferred the position of Superintendent of the Xuantian Department of the Demon Suppression Department. I'm here!"

What's going on with you?

Chen Mu was stupid.

Just now, the emperor appointed me as the captain of the Six Gate Outside Yamen, but you, the Empress Dowager, also appointed me as the supervisor of the Xuantian Department of the Demon Suppression Department.

I'm just teasing me, right?

And this time there is no gold price.

Bai Xianyu suddenly looked up, looked at Eunuch He with beautiful eyes and asked why.

This was beyond her expectations.

But Eunuch He did not respond to her, and stared at Chen Mu with a smile: "Captain Chen, why are you still standing there? Why don't you get the order to thank me?"

Chen Mu's forehead was covered with cold sweat.
