Chapter 116: Seven Towns.

熊家人也是尴尬啊,从林家走出去没多久,就碰到夫人身边的管事妈妈,说夫人从宫里传了话来,让他们赶紧跟林家道歉,再赔偿林公子的医药费,一定要求得林公子的原谅才行。

他们也不知道发生了什么事儿,夫人这么吩咐,他们只能照办。

所以才有了这一幕。

老夫人一头雾水,但人家赔礼道歉了,她只好接受道歉。

送走熊家人,老夫人问林景元:“这是怎么回事?”

林景元心说:定是姐在宫里发威了。

不过嘴上却道:“我哪知道,可能熊家人有病吧!”

Madam Lao and Mrs. Zhou:

Madam Lao's face turned serious: "Don't think that just because someone apologized, you are no longer at fault. It is wrong to get physical with others. When your sister comes back, I will also teach her a lesson."

林景元心里翻了个白眼,林家人要是都跟祖母这般胆小怕事儿,迟早完蛋。

在宫里的林晏晏还不知道家里发生的事儿,宴席过后,别人都回了,她先是被太后叫去了慈宁宫说了好一会儿话,后又被皇上叫去紫宸殿。

萧潜也在紫宸殿,见林晏晏进来,冲她眨眨眼,眸底深深笑意。

林晏晏敛定心神,上前行礼:“臣女见过陛下。”

皇上故意虎着脸道:“好你个甄日安。”

"This servant is filled with fear and begs Your Majesty's forgiveness." Lin Yannan quickly kowtowed, but in her heart, she wasn't afraid. Otherwise, Xiao Qian wouldn't be smiling at her. It's true that she disguises herself as a man, but she doesn't hold any official position in the court, nor does she receive any salary from the court. Furthermore, she hasn't appeared before the Emperor while disguised as a man, so one cannot accuse her of deceiving the Emperor!"

The emperor couldn't help but laugh: "What crime should I forgive you for? Should I forgive you for disguising as a man to help Master Ji solve the case of the bride's suicide? Should I forgive you for finding the real culprit behind the family massacre? Should I forgive you for uncovering the plot of the northern spies and locating the hidden stash of gunpowder? I called you here not to ask about your sins, but Master Ji and Brother Ten have already told me about your accomplishments. Lin Yannan, you truly inherited the talents of your formidable father. You possess both literary and martial skills, excelling in medical miracles and solving mysterious cases. You are a remarkable woman indeed... Rise!"

“臣女惭愧。”林晏晏松了口气,起身。

“只是,你也给孤出了个难题,孤刚封你为康平郡主,这下孤都不知该如何赏你了。”

“陛下,臣女只是做一些力所能及的事,臣女不求赏,但求陛下还许甄日安能继续为顺天府效力。”

皇上既然知道了甄日安的存在,这个身份等于在皇上这过了明路,索性让皇上认可她这个身份,她还指望着在顺天府做事能多接触一些尸体做医学研究,当然,她更希望天下太平,不要有一个无辜之人枉送性命。

The emperor hesitated, as there was no precedent for women serving as officials in the great Sheng dynasty.

"Father, Miss Lin possesses extraordinary talent and unmatched divine insight. I implore you to fully utilize her abilities and allow her to serve the great Sheng. Besides, Miss Lin is not seeking an official position."

皇上想了想,点头道:“林晏晏,孤许你以甄日安的身份继续在顺天府效力,官职孤不能给你,但孤可以给你一块七镇司的令牌。”

Lin Yannan was at a loss, she had never heard of the Seven Garrison Offices before.

Xiao Qian gave her a signal with his eyes, urging her to express gratitude quickly.

However, Lin Yannan still wanted to ask: "Your Majesty, may I ask what the Seven Garrison Offices are for?"

皇上笑呵呵:“你别管做什么的,你只需为顺天府效力便是。”

“哦,那臣女谢陛下恩典。”

皇上让曹全去拿令牌来。林晏晏看那令牌是块黑黢黢地铁牌,上面写着一个镇字,透着一股子肃杀之气。

“有时间就多进宫陪陪太后说说话,太后很看重你。”皇上道。

“臣女遵旨。”太后对她好,她自然会多进宫陪太后。

Lin Yannan left the Purple Chamber Hall and went straight out of the palace.

When she came, she took a carriage from the Rongguo Duke's residence. But she was detained by the Empress Dowager, so she asked Yang Jun to go back first and have Fenghua bring a carriage for her. Since the carriage hadn't arrived yet, Lin Yannan waited outside the palace gate. It didn't take long for her to see Xiao Qian also coming out.

“你怎么还在这?”萧潜问。

“马车还没来。”

萧潜是骑马来的,今天林晏晏穿了裙子,不好让她骑马,便牵了马道:“一起走走。”

Lin Yannan couldn't get what she wanted. She had several questions she wanted to ask him.

"Xiao Qian, do you know what the Seven Garrison Offices do?"

Xiao Qian scolded her with a glance: "You really lucked out this time. I didn't expect that the emperor would give you the token of the Seven Garrison Offices."

The Seven Inspectorate Offices do not belong to any specific department. They are personally controlled by the emperor himself and do not hold official ranks, so they are not considered as imperial officials. However, the Seven Inspectorate Offices wield great power and can supervise government officials, albeit covertly. They directly report to the emperor. The specific identities of the individuals in the Seven Inspectorate Offices are not clear to everyone. They could be beggars, peddlers, or even a stable boy at the home of a government official. You are the only person I know who is part of the Seven Inspectorate Offices.

Lin Yannan was shocked: "So mysterious?"

No wonder she hadn't heard of it.

"The Seven Towns Bureau is also divided into upper and lower ranks, with Iron Badges as the lowest, followed by Bronze Badges, then Silver Badges, and I estimate that Jade Badges are in the hands of the Emperor. All officials and even nobles in the Great Sheng Dynasty must absolutely obey the investigations of the Seven Towns Bureau when they see the Order Badges. Of course, the rank of the official corresponds to the Order Badge. Your Iron Badge can only investigate officials below the fifth rank. It's quite impressive."

"Good, this token is as effective as the emperor's decree." Lin Yanyan suddenly felt that the iron token in her hand was a bit hot.

"Yanyan, with this token, it will be much easier to investigate your father and the Tao family in the future." Xiao Qian said.

Lin Yannan had an even stronger feeling of finding a treasure: "Then I must keep this plaque safe."

"By the way, have all the spies from the Northern Di tribe been apprehended? Have all the foreign collaborators been exposed?"

Xiao Qian expressed some regret: "We have captured quite a few spies that the Northern Di tribe had planted in the capital this time. They are still being interrogated, and we hope to find more informants. As for people from within the country and foreign nations, we have only found evidence against the Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Public Works. However, he had already committed suicide before we went to apprehend him, so the lead has gone cold."

"You have done a great job," Lin Yannan comforted.

"I'm lucky to have your help," Xiao Qian smiled, and his deep eyes seemed to ripple with a soft wave.

Lin Yannan shook the iron token in her hand and smiled playfully, "It's my duty."

那明媚的笑容晃了萧潜的眼,乱了他的心。

“你这次立了大功,你父皇有没有赏你什么?”

萧潜摇摇头:“父皇没说,应该是还没想好,赏不赏我都无所谓,你能得到七镇司的令牌,与我而言,便是最好的奖赏。”

他最大的心愿便是揭开陶家冤案和定安侯之死的真相。现在离这个可能性又进了一步,可喜可贺。
