The next day, all the people in the capital knew that the Ming Emperor's teacher, Lin Tian, had killed the rapist, Tian Boguang, last night. This was also great news for them.
This meant that they would no longer have to worry and live their lives in fear. The beautiful girls at home could also go out openly.
For a time, Lin Tian's prestige in the capital was unprecedentedly high.
Everyone in the capital was happy, but there was one person who was very unhappy.
This person was the Iron Gut Divine Marquis Zhu Bujue. He did not expect Lin Tian to really get rid of the rapist Tian Boguang. Moreover, he used his adopted daughter, Shangguan Haitang, to lure Tian Boguang out.
Most importantly, Lin Tian did not let Shangguan Haitang take on the position of commander of the Brocade Guard.
As a result, his plan to control the Embroidered Uniform Guards was completely ruined.
Today, in court, Zhu Bujue brought Shangguan Haitang to meet the Emperor. Because the Emperor heard that Shangguan Haitang had contributed to the killing of Tian Boguang, the Emperor wanted to reward her in person.
Just as the two of them arrived at the entrance of the palace, they happened to meet Lin Tian, who was also here for court.
"So it's the Divine Marquis. You've come quite early.”Lin Tian got off the sedan chair and said with a smile.
"Isn't Imperial Teacher also very early?" Zhu Bujue said with a fake smile,""I haven't congratulated the emperor teacher for killing the rapist Tian Boguang in a day. He has eliminated a great disaster for the people.”
Zhu Bujue was displeased. Not only did he kill a rapist, but he also won the hearts of the people in the capital.
If only the people of The World's First Manor had done this, then the one who would be supported would be Iron Gut Divine Marquis.
What a pity, what a pity…
The corners of Lin Tian's mouth curled up. He knew that Zhu Bujue was just putting on a show. He would not admire him from the bottom of his heart.
However, it didn't matter. He had always been willful in doing things. He wouldn't ignore a few compliments from this guy just because of Zhu.
"Oh right, I just remembered something.”As Lin Tian spoke, he took out a token from his sleeve and threw it to Shangguan Haitang, who was beside Zhu Bujue. He said,"As I said before, Shangguan Hai Tang will be the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards in the future. This is the Commander's Token.”
Shangguan Haitang looked at the token in her hand and couldn't help but be shocked. Logically speaking, Tian Boguang was dead, so the cooperation between her and Lin Tian ended here. But why did Lin Tian make her the commander of the Brocade Guard? He really couldn't understand.
Zhu Budian looked at the token in his adopted daughter's hand and his eyes lit up. He did not expect that the thing he had lost would actually come back. He hurriedly said,"Haitang, the emperor's teacher trusts you so much, why don't you quickly write a letter to thank him?”
Shangguan Haitang finally reacted and respectfully cupped her fists.""Haitang thanks Young Master Lin for your trust. I will definitely be a good commander in the future.”
After saying this, Shangguan Haitang's heart tightened. She realized that she had said something wrong. She actually called Lin Tian Young Master Lin in front of her foster father.
Zhu Bujue was also a smart person. He naturally heard the strangeness in these words. It seemed that the relationship between Haitang and Lin Tian was flourishing.
However, this was also what he wanted to see. The more Haitang gained Lin Tian's trust, the more helpful it would be to him in the future.
......
During the morning court session, all the officials gathered in Taihe Palace.
Accompanied by Cao Zhengchun, Zhu Houzhao walked out of the back hall and sat on the dragon throne. The officials in the court knelt down and waited until he said," I love you all."
These red tape were useless to Lin Tian, because he didn't need to kneel at all. Moreover, he could sit on an armchair and discuss with the officials.
The first thing to do in the morning court was naturally the case of the rapist Tian Boguang. Zhu Houzhao praised his teacher fiercely, and last time, he had 1,000 taels of gold, 3,000 bolts of silk, and 50 pieces of jade.
Lin Tian didn't care about these worldly possessions at all. He gave them to Shangguan Haitang.
Shangguan Haitang was overwhelmed by the unexpected favor. She wanted to refuse, but Zhu Budian beat her to it and accepted it on behalf of her adopted daughter.
In Zhu Bujue's opinion, Shangguan Haitang had risked being discovered as a woman to do things for Lin Tian. These rewards should have belonged to her.
After the rapist case was settled, Zhu Houzhao drank a cup of tea and said,""My dear ministers, I still have an important matter to say. The king of the Yun Nation wants to be on good terms with my Ming Dynasty for generations. He has specially ordered the envoy, General Wu Wan, to escort Princess Li Xiu here for a marriage alliance.”
