Chapter 277 Broker

Chapter 277 Broker
As the saying goes, you can tell a person's future from the age of three. Yin Tianze saw through Li Lin's character and thought he would never amount to anything, so he resolutely broke off the engagement.

And now, looking at the momentum Li Lin has displayed, his future is definitely not something he can sit back and wait for!
Just one glance and Yin Tianze felt a trace of regret in his heart, and couldn't help but secretly sigh.

"Ah... nephew, is there something you want to talk to me about?"

"Well, I have some things to deal with in the headquarters. I came to see my uncle because I haven't seen him for a long time."

Seeing the young man's steady and neither humble nor arrogant appearance, Yin Tianze felt even more depressed.

I was wrong, I was wrong!
"My dear nephew, you are thoughtful."

After some pleasantries, Zhu Haomiao calmly mentioned the matter of posthumous honoring, hoping that Yin Tianze could supervise it and not delay it for too long.

"Okay, I'll have someone urge it to be carried out."

Not caring about such a trivial matter at all, Yin Tianze asked Li Lin indirectly about his life during this period, wanting to know why he suddenly had such a drastic change.

On the other hand, Zhu Haomiao originally wanted to mention asking for a reward, but considering that favors become less and less valuable the more you use them, it seemed unnecessary, so he just went with the flow and chatted about trivial matters in life.

After some casual chatting, Yin Tianze didn't find the reason for the boy's change, but the more he looked at him, the more he liked him, and the regret in his heart gushed out like a fountain.

"Um... nephew, do you still remember Sister Kejun who often took you out to play when you were little?"

"what?"

Zhu Haomiao was slightly stunned, and after thinking hard, he still couldn't find any sister in Li Lin's memory fragments.

I only have a vague impression that the relationship between the two families was once very close, but for some unknown reason, they gradually became distant.

"Can not remember."

Looking into Yin Tianze's eyes, Zhu Haomiao shook his head sincerely. His sincere attitude made Yin Tianze feel upset again.

"That's right, you were too young at that time..."

Yin Tianze laughed dryly and added without giving up.

"Your sister Kejun is also studying at the [Royal Martial Academy], but she is in the advanced class. You two should spend more time together when you have the chance. After all, you are childhood sweethearts."

"........."

You don’t even have an impression of your childhood sweetheart?!
Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao felt a little puzzled, but he still nodded in agreement.

"My nephew will remember this."

"Well, we must visit each other more often. Our two families are close friends!"

After some more instructions and greetings, Yin Tianze reluctantly let the boy go.

On the other hand, although Zhu Haomiao didn't know why Yin Tianze, who seemed to be quite cold towards Li Lin, was so enthusiastic today, he still breathed a sigh of relief.

With Yin Tianze's attention, the posthumous title should be settled.

Putting his worries aside, the young man stretched himself, faced the setting sun, and strode out of the Anti-Theft Headquarters.

........................

For the next period of time, Zhu Haomiao studied and read books at the [Royal Martial Academy] every morning, and fed the little princess at the same time.

In the afternoon, I went to [Lechangfang] to scan my face and randomly selected a death row prisoner to pay.

As he resumed his regular life, people around him gradually got used to his changes.

Even in some small circles in the imperial capital, there was a rumor that [Pingyang Earl] was enlightened by an immortal, and his personality changed drastically overnight, from a hopeless prodigal son to a good man who worked hard to improve himself!
On this day, after Zhu Haomiao had captured the prisoner, he walked out of the prison with satisfaction, and saw Yan Yunsheng running towards him excitedly.

"Sir, the brothers have been posthumously honored as heroes!"

Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao nodded calmly.

"Got it. Go and give the plaque to the family members and take care of it during the holidays in the future."

Seeing the young man's calm and nonchalant look, Yan Yunsheng couldn't help but secretly envy him.

It's good to have a title...

It’s good to have someone in the general office…

Most inspectors would never even think about posthumously conferring titles, but he did it smoothly without any hassle! Thinking of the three jailbreak criminals who were executed, Yan Yunsheng couldn't help but smile.

Although the inspector deserves most of the credit, as the main force involved in the operation, he must be noted in the credit book!
With this qualification, Yan Yunsheng vaguely saw hope for advancement!

In comparison, the bandit’s bounty is nothing!

After sending Yan Yunsheng away with a few words, Zhu Haomiao walked out of the Anti-Theft Bureau. Just after crossing a street, a thin man with ordinary looks came up to him and whispered.

"Inspector Li! I'm Yue Zhuan. I have something important to discuss with you. Can you please spare me a moment to talk?"

Noticing that the other party was inadvertently alert to the surrounding gazes, Zhu Haomiao hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"lead the way."

"please!"

Making a gesture of invitation, Yue Zhuan brought the young man to a restaurant not far away and walked into a secret private room.

"Tell me what you want to say."

Zhu Haomiao sat down with his arms folded and went straight to the point.

Yue Zhuan smiled apologetically, poured tea for the young man, and then spoke slowly.

"I have a business and would like to ask Inspector Li for help..."

"I am just an eighth-rank official, I am afraid I can't help."

Picking up the tea and taking a sip, Zhu Haomiao spoke slowly with a chuckle.

At this moment, he had already guessed the other party's identity: a broker who specialized in shady deals.

"I can help! It's just a matter of a word from Inspector Li..."

Yue Zhuan smiled ingratiatingly, lowered his voice, and raised five fingers.

"After the matter is completed, five thousand taels of silver!"

Zhu Haomiao paused in drinking tea, put down the teacup and looked at him with interest.

"Elaborate."

"There is a prisoner in Lechangfang Prison, sentenced to be executed next year. I would like to ask Inspector Li to use some tricks to replace him with someone else."

Noticing the young man's brow twitch, Yue Zhuan quickly assured him.

"Inspector Li, please rest assured. I know the rules. After he gets out, he will change his name and go far away. He will never reveal any flaws!"

Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao rubbed his chin, thought for a moment, and asked in a low voice.

"What's that man's name?"

Seeing the young man's expression showing interest, Yue Zhuan was overjoyed and moved closer to him and whispered in his ear.

"Overlord Sword Huo Hong!"

Hearing the name, Zhu Haomiao looked at Yue Zhuan in surprise and sighed with regret.

"I might be able to make some concessions to others, but this guy killed several of my brothers..."

As he spoke, Zhu Haomiao stood up and clasped his fists decisively.

Seeing the young man about to leave, Yue Zhuan anxiously tried to stop him, saying, "The lives of the constables below are worthless. Inspector Li, why do you have to worry about these trivial matters and be so picky about money?"

Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao looked at him deeply and his tone turned cold.

"Someone has to pay the price when my people die!"

"That guy is dead, no one can save him, I said!"

Unexpectedly, Li Lin regarded those worthless soldiers so seriously. Yue Zhuan wanted to say something but hesitated. However, before he could think of what to say, the young man had already stormed out.
