" Wow, disciple, you've brought honor to your ancestors. If you want to, you should just give him a rank four official. Tsk tsk…" Sitting on the side of the carriage, Zero Hair would open the curtain of the carriage from time to time and look at the clothes that had just been received from the palace. Then, he said with envy.
" Uh, hehe..." Xiao Rui sat on the other side of the carriage and forced a smile. Heaven and earth could tell that he did not want to investigate the case. He did not have any ambition or ambition.
There were only two things he cared about. One was his own life, and the other was the lives of others related to him. Other than that, there was almost nothing else he cared about. Of course, it was best to have enough financial support. Without enough money, it was not impossible for him to accept a well-off family. He wanted to stay away from all troublesome things, but he really could not stay far away now...
Although the mission gave no penalty for failure, Xiao Rui knew very well that if he failed, then the Emperor's life would be difficult to protect. If the Emperor was not protected, then the situation of the Dragon Protector Clan would be a little difficult to calculate...
While chatting with their master, Xiao Rui and Xiao Yan returned home not long after.
Xiao Rui and Ling Lingfa lived opposite each other, but the situation of the two families was completely different.
Although Zero Zero Hair's house did not look shabby, it was not too luxurious either.
His house was about two thousand square meters in size. The front courtyard was the clinic he built for gynecology. The back courtyard was where he and his wife, Xiao Rui's master's wife, lived. It was not small, but it was not particularly big.
On the other hand, Xiao Rui's house was really quite grand.
It occupied an area of about 15,000 square meters. The entire courtyard was divided into three entrances. The front courtyard was the hall, the middle was where he lived, and the backyard was the back garden.
There were all kinds of pavilions and pavilions in the mansion. Most importantly, Xiao Rui had also built a water tower that could be used as running water. At the same time, he had also built a fire wall and a fire path (something similar to floor heating) to ensure that his mansion was really comfortable to live in.
Don't misunderstand, it's not that Xiao Rui was not filial enough, but he didn't care about the cost of building a mansion.
The reason why he didn't dare to build it was also related to the class level in ancient times.
In ancient times, scholars, farmers, merchants, and businessmen were divided into three levels. Scholars were above the other three levels.
In this world, even if you had hundreds of millions of taels of gold, you were a businessman without the title of a scholar. You couldn't live in a big house, wear good clothes, or hire people.
Some people said that this was the money they earned, so why couldn't they?
If someone dared to hire them, as long as someone sued them, they would instantly be exterminated and exiled for 3,000 miles.
However, if you wanted to live in a good house, hire people, and wear silk clothes, you would need to have the rank of a scholar.
It would be good if there was one scholar in ten thousand people, and it would be good if there was one scholar in ten. This was an existence that was even more terrifying than the modern college entrance examination.
The reason why Xiao Rui could live in a big house and have a carriage was because he was originally a High Scholar…
Before Xiao Rui transmigrated, he knew in his previous life that he did not have the ability to practice martial arts. However, he did not want to be like Ling Xuefa, so he studied literature and became a scholar a few years ago. After Xiao Rui transmigrated, he also received all of this person's knowledge. Therefore, he went to take the capital examination a year after he transmigrated. Although his ranking was not too ideal, he also passed the examination. It was because of this that he could live here.
Moreover, he could directly grant the official position bestowed by the Emperor…
However, because he was a member of the Dragon Guardian Clan, he needed to keep it a secret, so he did not hire any servants at home. In fact, he was the only one living in such a big house. Xiao Rui always felt like he was a gatekeeper...
"Your master's wife has made noodles, do you want to eat before going back?”As the carriage arrived in front of the two houses, Zero Zero Hair also jumped down from the carriage. Xiao Rui had cured the Emperor. Although the Emperor and him were not on good terms, Zero Hair was still very happy and extended an invitation to Xiao Rui.
"Forget about this. I won't delay your and Master's wife's serious matters.”Looking at the moon that had risen in the distance, Xiao Rui smiled and raised his eyebrows.
"Sigh, maybe I've really aged recently. I keep feeling a little powerless!”Hearing Xiao Rui's words, Zero Zero Hair also covered his waist and laughed.
"I understand, Master. The new wine should be almost ready. I'll send it to you when I have time!”Seeing Zero Zero Hair's wretched look, Xiao Rui also poked him with his elbow and said with a look of understanding.
Looking at his disciple's journey, Ling Lingfa couldn't help but smile and nod at him. Then, he walked back to his own home. As for Xiao Rui, after putting the carriage back into the residence, he took out the official robes and hung them in his wardrobe. Then, he washed up and lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling. Xiao Rui's brain was rarely working fast.
The night was silent. The next morning, after Xiao Rui finished washing up, he took the imperial edict personally stamped by the Emperor and the official certificate and left home. Of course, before he left, he did not forget to make a pot of wine for his master. He went to his master's house to have breakfast, and then Xiao Rui went to the Supreme Court.
Since the Emperor wanted Xiao Rui to investigate the case, then Xiao Rui had to go to the three judicial departments. The three judicial departments were the Ministry of Justice, the Supreme Court, and the Inspectorate. The Inspectorate mainly played the role of supervision, while the Ministry of Justice was more like a combination of the police department and the court. As for the Supreme Court, it was somewhat like the Supreme Court. The Inspectorate supervised the Ministry of Justice's case. After the Ministry of Justice finished the case, it would hand it over to the Supreme Court. Then, the Supreme Court would check it again and verify it before making a decision. It was precisely because of this that the Emperor had sent Xiao Rui over.
Moreover, Xiao Rui was the Right Shaoqing of the Supreme Court, a Rank-4!
However, it was precisely because of this that the people of the Supreme Court did not seem to be too interested in Xiao Rui.
However, Xiao Rui was not too interested in them. He only came to handle the handover. After getting his waist token and documents, Xiao Rui left the Supreme Court's yamen and went directly to the Jinyiwei's South Town Department. He came down to investigate Guo Zhen's case. This was known to all!
