The smile on Li Ling's face did not fluctuate too much, and he still looked steady: "Please forgive me for being foolish, I really don't know what mistake I made."

"Hmph, I ask you, it was only half a year since you took leave from the Ministry, but how long did it take to go to the southwest? Isn't it wrong to neglect your duties and act casually?" Bian Xuedao asked immediately.

"This, I went to the southwest to go through many unexpected changes, so I delayed the time. But in fact, I did not delay the taxes this year, and I asked the southern Yunnan government to hand over to the court as much as possible, so I really couldn't recognize this crime." Li Ling looked at him without any concessions, and said with confidence.

"You are so eloquent. What have you done in the southwest? No one in the capital knows. We only know that because of your trip to the southwest, many of the Ministry of Revenue's responsibilities have been delayed. Also, your actions are even more despised by all officials. Many censors and censors have written memorials and impeachments, which have damaged the face of our Ministry of Revenue. Isn't these crimes?"

Li Ling smiled sarcastically: "What did Xiaguan do in the southwest? Perhaps not many people in the capital now know, but it won't take long to know, so I can't accept the crimes that my adults accused me of.

"And, it is even more nonsense that you say that because I am not in the Ministry of Revenue, other officials in the department are busy dealing with it. May I ask, what is the current position of the subordinate? "Before the other party speaks, he said himself, "I am the head of the Qing official's department in southern Yunnan, and I am just in charge of the financial and tax affairs of the southern Yunnan province. But I don't know where when the taxes in southern Yunnan have not been transported to Beijing now, I need to share the responsibilities of my colleagues? If it is to arrange the tax figures for next year, it will be some time before I report them to the court. I will finish the handover in time, which is naturally not a sin."

Seeing him talking freely and not taking his immediate boss seriously, Bian Xuedao was so angry that his face turned blue. He could only slam the table and shout, "Bold, dare to be so arrogant!"

"Am I wrong? Every word that the Xiaguan said is true. I really don't know why the adults said that I am guilty. Could it be that I was unwilling to use it for you at the time that you wanted to take personal revenge?" Li Ling was not afraid of his anger at all, but looked back at him more arrogantly and pointed out the problem.

His performance shocked Lu You. He has been in the Ministry of Revenue for more than ten years, but he has never seen any subordinate dare to argue with his boss directly. No, it should be said that he was a quarrel, and he also had an absolute advantage. After this guy came back from the southwest, his courage became so great?

He was surprised that the impact of Bian Xuedao was naturally even greater. He could no longer suppress his anger and made him slam the table hard: "I'm against you..."

"Please be careful. I just don't agree with the crimes imposed on me by the Lord. But it's far from being rebellious. Besides, even if I don't have the right to rebel, you don't have the right to stop me from rebelling!" Li Ling suddenly played a word game with him, which made the Bian Shigong burst into anger, but for a moment, he didn't know how to refute the lesson. He had never seen such an arrogant and bold subordinate. Even if he had enough qualifications and the backer of King Yong, he would not dare to be so arrogant in front of the Shangshu Ye Kuan.

After a few breaths, the assistant minister Bian shouted: "Li Ling, you are really clever, but you are wrong. You can't be innocent by making such a quibble! There have been many busy official duties in our yamen since August, but you are not here for some reason, so you can only divide the errands into other colleagues. If all the officials in the capital are like you, who will do these many errands? So, if the censors impeach and the blame is reasonable and you still don't plead guilty?"

Li Ling sighed again in the face of his accusation: "What the lord said is still a crime. I just explained clearly that I am the chief of the Qing dynasty Yunnan. There are only some responsibilities that I need to bear. What do the others have to do with me? The boss ordered me to do it, but it is natural that I should be rewarded, but it is natural not to do it. Can you still give me more salary for doing this other errand, or do that official position with me?"

This reversal question completely turned the other party down. Lu You, who was standing by, opened his mouth wide and felt a big storm in his heart. This sounds too right. It is naturally good to treat his own errands, but the errands sent by others really have to do their best to do it. Can't you shudder it?

In the past, he had never had such an idea. As long as it was a job assigned by his boss, he would do his best and feel uneasy even if he couldn't finish it... But now, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be really wrong, from beginning to end.

There are some truths, but because of some conventional mistakes, people turn a blind eye to them. Now, Li Ling has broken those mistakes and directly pasted the truth on Bian Xuedao's face, making him unable to make rebuttals.

Li Ling continued to look at him provocatively: "These false charges are not worth a debate at all. If some people really want to use this to impeach and attack me, I have to persuade him to save money. Don't say that I have made a lot of contributions in the southwest this time, even if I don't, I can't touch me!"

After a pause, he smiled and said, "I wonder if sir, do you have any instructions? If not, the official will say goodbye."

"Slow down!" Bian Xuedao was extremely irritable at this time. When he was about to leave, where would he put his face? There was Lu You watching in front of him, and he had to suppress this guy's arrogance!

"You said you were the capital you returned to yesterday?" He suddenly raised this question.

"Yes." Li Ling nodded and responded.

"Then why did you not return to the Ministry to submit a service? Our court has always had rules. Officials who were ordered to work in the capital must return to the yamen to submit a service as soon as possible, rather than go home to rest. You are breaking the rules again..."

"Is there a law that states this?" Li Ling interrupted and asked again without waiting for him to finish his words. He really didn't know the rules. After all, he only served as an official for a few months, and then went to the southwest. How many things can the official officials in Beijing know about?

After being stunned by the fact that Bian Xuedao was stunned, he really couldn't remember it. It seemed that all the people in the officialdom knew this rule well, and almost no one dared to violate it. But if you really want to say that there is something recorded in the law, but there is no. After all, this is just something conventional in the officialdom. It is regarded as a golden rule just because everyone values ​​it and abides by it. It seems that if someone violates it, it is like making a big mistake.

But as a result, when he really wanted to write this article, he realized that he was a little wishful thinking and had no written things. If he really wanted to impeach him, would he really have the effect?

Li Ling suddenly yawned and looked like he deserved a beating: "Since you have nothing to say, then the official will say goodbye first. I have to go to the Lu Prime Minister's Mansion tonight to see him. I can't delay it too much."

"What did you say?" Seeing Li Ling turning around lazyly and trying to leave, Bian Xuedao was completely shocked and shouted loudly. He said... He is going to meet Lu Prime Minister tonight? Lu Zhen? When did he get involved with this adult?

"Well, it's the Left Prime Minister. Yesterday he asked someone to give me an invitation and a famous thorn, and let me go to the mansion tonight." Li Ling said, and took out the gold-hot thorn placed in his sleeve and waved in front of the other side.

This kind of famous sting with excellent materials and exquisite workmanship is obviously only available to several big men in the court. Even if he does not open it, people can imagine that what he said is true.

At this moment, Mr. Bian was completely out of temper and finally "understand" why Li Ling's attitude today was so arrogant and he no longer took himself and King Yong seriously. It turned out that he had found Lu Xiang as his backer, and now he was really kicking the iron plate.

Lu You was even more shocked. This change was too fast, right? Why did this young man who had never had any background backing and suddenly became appreciated by Lu Xiang for a year? While he was confused, he was full of gratitude. Fortunately, he did not make the decision to help deal with Li Ling because of the old friend and his colleague for several months. Otherwise... the Minister of the Bian Shin-san might not have to be afraid, he would be really finished. He had seen how Li Ling dealt with his enemies, and the matter of Dai Xiao and Dai Wanchun's uncle and nephew was also mentioned by many colleagues.

While the two were stunned, Li Ling, who was holding chicken feathers as a command arrow, had already left the house. In fact, he was a little vague. After all, this matter could only be lie for a while. If it really happened, someone would find out that he had nothing to do with Lu Zhen, and the consequences would be quite a bit. However, he never mentioned that he had a relationship with Lu Xiang, but it was just his own imagination.

Then, after the door came out, he saw that there were several officials in front of the door looking at him with surprise. Obviously, they also heard the tit-for-tat speech inside. At this time, they all bowed to Li Ling a little stiffly, obviously because they were scared by his "deep background".

It was not until Li Ling left for a while that the two of them recovered. Bian Xuedao was about to say something to Lu You, but saw him bent down and bowed: "Sir, the official has figured it out. Li Wenzhong is my colleague, and he has always been diligent in his work and has no mistakes. The official will never falsely accuse him with some people."

Bian Xuedao's face turned dark again, but he didn't say anything serious after all. Because he already understood why the other party made such a decision. What he had relied on before was the next Beijing Campaign, which was a killing weapon that could cut off an official's future.
