The roving bandits that had harassed the southern part of Bazhou Prefecture for months were completely annihilated in the unremarkable Xiaoyu Township, an event that once caused quite a stir throughout Bazhou Prefecture.
A few days later, the official awards and titles from the prefecture arrived. Although it still needed to be reported to the Six Ministries of the imperial court before formal official documents and imperial edicts could be issued, the contents of the rewards had already been communicated in advance to Magistrate Zhao and the others.
Magistrate Zhao was promoted by one rank and was now a Rank 6 Magistrate, given priority for promotion and filling vacancies. In other words, as long as there was a vacancy in the prefecture, he would soon be promoted.
