It was summer now, and after eating, the sky was already bright.
Looking at the system time, it was already 5:45 in the morning. Qin Lin covered his Embroidered Spring Sword and walked out of the house.
The Qin family was in the capital and was not far from the North Town Administrative Office. If they walked quickly, it would take less than half an hour.
In other places, a hundred households were a leader, and the people feared them like tigers.
However, in the capital, where there were as many high-ranking officials as dogs, Qin Lin, a hundred-family official, was really nothing. When the pedestrians on the street saw Qin Lin's attire, they did not hide far away like in television dramas.
Those who knew Qin Lin even greeted him!
The Qin family was hereditary as a Hundred Households of the Jinyiwei. They were extremely strict in their upbringing and had never done anything that violated the law or wantonly harmed the people.
Qin Lin dawdled like this, slowly approaching the Northern Town's Ministry of Justice.
At 8:50, which was the end of the morning, Qin Lin showed his waist token and entered the North Town's Yamen. He went to the duty room.
The guard room was the place where they 'punched in for work'.
The person in charge of guarding the room was called Wang Chong, an old man in his fifties who was also a centurion.
Wang Chong was familiar with Qin Lin's father, Qin Tianyang, and they had a very good relationship. He often visited the Qin Clan, so Qin Lin knew Wang Chong.
"Uncle! Good morning!"
Qin Lin greeted Wang Chong with a smile.
Seeing that it was almost seven o'clock and Qin Lin had finally arrived, Wang Chong pulled him back."Little Lin, why are you only here now? Didn't your father tell you that if you're late for 15 minutes, you'll get five slaps and your monthly salary will be deducted? You're already late for more than two hours.”
Qin Lin scratched his head and chuckled.
Wang Chong looked around and said,"This is the first time. Uncle will help you change the time.”
With that said, Wang Chong opened a book on the appointment of the officials of the Discipline Office.
Although the North Garrison Guard of the Embroidered Uniform Guards had a fierce reputation, they were still extremely strict with their internal management.
Wang Chong was taking the risk of being punished for protecting Qin Lin.
"Uncle, don't be biased!" Qin Lin hurriedly pulled Wang Chong back. Since I'm late, I'll do my job. Otherwise, if my father finds out, he'll beat me up even more ruthlessly.”
Wang Chong looked at Qin Lin in surprise. After a moment of shock, he gave Qin Lin a thumbs up."Kid, not bad! Alright, we'll do as you say! When Lord Li asks about it later, I'll plead for mercy on your behalf. On account of your father's face, maybe he can spare you this beating.”
With that, Wang Chong wrote down Qin Lin's name and the time of the day on the book.
Qin Lin took the time and signed his name on the register.
After writing…
"Ding ~"
A notification sounded in Qin Lin's mind.
Immediately after, the system intelligence, Xiao Jiu, said,"Congratulations, host! [You have completed the Morning Nine Mission for the first time. You have received the system reward.] 1. Three case closing talismans. 2. Nine Yang Divine Technique, 10000 points of internal strength. Three, 1000 gold taels!"
As soon as Xiao Jiu's voice fell, Qin Lin felt his dantian heat up. Immediately after, a wave of hot air rushed out of his dantian and spread throughout his entire body.
Following that, the cultivation technique information of the Nine Yang Divine Technique appeared in his mind.
The cultivation technique information was not written in words, but a cultivation method and comprehension.
"System, am I a martial arts expert now?”
Qin Lin asked excitedly as he felt the internal strength flowing through his body.
"Master, your current internal strength is equivalent to Houtian fifth stage. Reaching Houtian ninth stage required 100,000 internal strength points. Breaking through to Xiantian Realm requires one million qi points…"
After Xiao Jiu finished speaking, Qin Lin was slightly disappointed.
He didn't become a top-notch expert in an instant!
However, he didn't need to cultivate. According to the system's requirements, he could get internal strength points by going to work on time. This was too easy.
"What's a case closing talisman?"
Qin Lin asked again.
"Case Closing Talisman. After using it, it can generate case closing information. This talisman can help you solve the case as quickly as possible.”
"With this case closing talisman, I can become a detective, right? That's great!"
Qin Lin was so excited that he couldn't control himself anymore. He laughed.
Seeing Qin Lin's silly smile, Wang Chong helplessly shook his head. Qin Tianyang had raised his son to be very well-behaved, but he was too stupid and didn't know martial arts. He had to consider the marriage between the two families.
The Jinyiwei was different from other yamen. Sometimes, if they couldn't complete the tasks of their superiors, they would let others take the blame.
In Wang Chong's eyes, Qin Lin was an indomitable scapegoat.
However, if he encountered something not too big, he had to help this kid.
Qin Lin quickly controlled himself and bowed to Wang Chong.
Before he walked out of the guard room, a Jinyiwei major entered the guard room. When he saw Qin Lin, he cupped his hands and said,"Centurion Qin, Lord Commander invites you to the main hall.”
"What happened?"
Wang Chong asked with a frown.
"Reporting to Lord Centurion. Today, the Commander is in the hall asking about the progress of the case. Lord Thousand-Household Xiao accused Li Thousand-Household of neglecting the management of his subordinates…"
Qin Lin understood after the small school finished speaking.
The upper echelons of the Brocade Guard were fighting among themselves and using him as a target.
Qin Lin quickly entered the hall of the Northern Town Administrative Office.
In the solemn hall of the Discipline Department, the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, Lu Ming, was walking around with his hands behind his back with a gloomy face.
Below the stage stood dozens of Jinyiwei thousand and hundred households serving in the capital.
Li Hua and Xiao Changqing glared at each other.
A pin drop could be heard in the hall.
Soon, the sound of footsteps could be heard. A young Centurion of the Embroidered Uniform Guards walked into the hall.
This young man was Qin Lin.
After entering the hall, Qin Lin hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his hands."This subordinate greets the commander."
To Lu Ming, Qin Lin was a complete stranger.
After sizing up Qin Lin, Lu Ming said calmly,"You are Qin Lin?"
"Yes, sir!"
Qin Lin replied.
At this moment, Thousand-man Li Hua quickly stepped forward and reported to Lu Ming,"Sir, Qin Lin has just taken over Qin Tianyang's position as a centurion. He still knows the rules of our Guardian Office too well.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Changqing chuckled and said,"As an aristocratic family of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, the Qin family's upbringing is famous for being strict. How could Qin Lin forget to answer the call?”
"Lord Xiao, I didn't mean to be late. I just went to investigate."”
