The Emperor glanced at the document briefly, then set it aside and smiled at Li Fei, saying:
"You claim the case was solved thanks to the help of others, but I see that you deserve the primary credit!"
After speaking, he nodded at Feng Cheng who was standing nearby.
Feng Cheng immediately took out the prepared Imperial Decree and read it aloud:
"The First-class Investigator of the Monitoring Pavilion, He Jian, has merited success in solving the case, thus is granted the title of Viscount of Lu'an, a monetary reward of one million, and a mansion.
All other members of the investigation team are promoted by one rank and rewarded with one hundred thousand in money!"
He Jian's hometown is called Lu'an Town, and now being granted the title of Viscount of Lu'an brings honor to his homeland.
His position as a 15th-level First-class Investigator is already at the peak of a sitting official's rank. To advance further would mean entering the Cabinet and becoming a cabinet minister.
