To be honest, Wen Ming can be regarded as a good official.

He is not greedy for money, is lustful, has the ability, is responsible, and is willing to do things for the local and the people. If this is the case, when there is chaos in Jiangnan, he will not notice that the Luotian Sect is in a position to hold on to the government army by himself. You must know that this approach must withstand a considerable pressure and bear all the consequences.

However, no one is perfect, and the Governor of the News naturally has his flaws and shortcomings. He is good at power and is also stubborn and conceited. In his eyes, subordinate officials only need to obey his orders. As for discussing with them to do things, it obviously does not exist.

A small county magistrate like Li Ling is even less in his eyes, so when he thinks of using Li Ling to lead out important figures of the Luotian Sect who are still hiding in Jinling, he naturally cannot get the news first. Even in his opinion, this approach is more realistic, and he is trusting only at the young county magistrate Li.

But now, Li Ling came to the door to ask for the crime, which naturally made Governor Wen very angry and left no room for anything: "Do you think those few slander words can scare me? Don't say that your little county magistrate's words cannot be spread at all, but you really report them to the court. Do you think there will be people in the court who believe you, and how many people will believe me?

"It turns out that I plan to remember you for your merits, but since you are so ungrateful and have no prestige, you can only punish you severely. I will order you to seize your official position and go back to listen to the sect!" Wen Ming, who was angry, was merciless and was about to be dismissed by Li Ling's official position.

As the governor of Jiangnan, he really has such power. He just stopped a small county magistrate and did not have to ask the court for instructions first. He just needed to submit a memorial afterwards. It was impossible for the court to refuse. After saying this, Wen Ming looked at Li Ling again, thinking that this young county magistrate would be shocked this time, and then knelt down and begged for mercy.

But Li Ling's reaction was beyond his expectations. He did not panic or fear or cried and admit his mistakes, but took two steps first, pressed the shoulder of the woman with a blue face over there, and said, "Don't be angry, I can solve it!" Then he looked up at him and sneered: "I heard that the governor is good at official power. I didn't expect that the power given to you by the court is for you to show off your power in front of his subordinates. But it's a pity that your methods may scare others, but don't want to scare me Li Ling!"

Seeing that he was so ignorant, Wen Ming was furious and immediately wanted to ask someone to take him down. But before he could speak, Li Ling raised his hand and threw a sign onto the coffee table beside him. A crisp sound made him shake. When he looked carefully, his eyes shrank and he recognized that this was the waist sign of the Imperial City.

"Imperial City... Do you think that having their people around me can make me afraid?" Even though that was the case, Wen Ming did not really get angry after all and ordered to take him.

Li Ling sat back and looked at Wen Ming: "Yes, I took this waist card from Wan Shenji, and I think you should have seen it too." Wen Ming was able to let Wan Shenji and the others travel with the government army last night, which already shows that he knew the identity of the other party's spy, and must have some concerns.

After pausing, Li Ling said again: "But there is one thing you must not know yet. Even this official also serves as the Tissue in the Imperial City Division..."

Wen Ming's eyes suddenly glared, and he blurted out with a light shout: "This is impossible!"

As an old man who has been in the officialdom for many years, he naturally knew very well how powerful the Imperial City Stis has, which was a high-ranking official who had the right to mobilize a provincial secret spies for his use, and even had the power of imperial envoys like him, the governor.

Although in a sense, the officials of the Imperial City Department are not within the court's civil and military teams, and they are always suppressed by officials from righteous origins, as the situation in the capital has been constantly changing in the past two years, the power of the Imperial City Department really has the intention to rise, even if the Governor Wen, who is far away in Jiangnan, can feel it.

And now, the young county magistrate whom he never took seriously was actually the Imperial City Stis. How could Governor Wen not be surprised or even a little uneasy?

But at the same time, he felt incredible, thinking that Li Ling was pulling the tiger's skin to make a big banner. After all, behind the Imperial City Department is the emperor, the eunuch Wei Tang, the most trusted eunuch in front of the emperor. How could a small county magistrate get into their eyes? It must be that this kid felt that the situation was not good, so he wanted to use Wan Shenji's Imperial City Department's identity as a spy to bluff himself!

As his face changed a few times, Li Ling saw some clues and smiled and said, "Yes or no, it's actually easy to deal with. You just need to send someone to the inn and take my package with you. You will know that my official badges and other items are all there. In addition, you don't think about it, if I don't have the corresponding identity, will Wan Shenji be so loyal to me?"

The last sentence is the key, which also makes Governor Wen unable to deceive himself anymore, and his face becomes even more gloomy. If what Li Ling said is true, this matter would be complicated.

Li Ling actually didn't want to reveal his identity as the Imperial City Stis. Although this identity can give him a lot of convenience, it also has a lot of hidden dangers. Because the civil servant group has always been xenophobic, they are like this with military generals, so they are naturally more prejudiced to those who are lucky enough to rise up by eunuchs.

However, in this game, there is no better choice than this. Li Ling can only reveal his identity and then hit the iron while the iron is hot and said: "Governor, do you still dare to say that this official cannot sue the court?"

Not to mention suing the court, it is not difficult to sue the emperor even if it is sued to the emperor... Wen Ming, who understands this level, still has a bad face, but his aura has become much weaker, and he only hums, "So what? I have a clear conscience!"

"Does you feel ashamed? It has nothing to do with whether you have done something wrong. If I report to Your Majesty, say you are taking personal revenge, and you are colluding with the thieves of Luotian Sect, and want to harm me?"

"I'm so ridiculous. Who do you think you are, and I can join forces with Luo Tian Sect? Such words will be deceiving a three-year-old child. Which official in the court will believe it?"

"It seems that you don't know enough about Governor Wen." Li Ling smiled, "Then let me tell you some inside story. I had a grudge against an important figure in the Luotian Sect when I was in the imperial examination. They tried to kill me several times, but I resolved them one by one, which actually damaged a lot of people.

"After that, by chance, I had a head-on confrontation with the Luotian Sect traitors in the southwest, helping Dingxi Hou quell the local rebellion and killing hundreds of Luotian Sect traitors. It was precisely because of this that I realized that the Luotian Sect would cause trouble in Jiangnan next, and Your Majesty appointed me to deal with it.

"I think Master Wen has heard of some of these things, so he thought of using me as bait to lead the Luotian Sect traitor in Jinling. But I don't know if this can prove that I and Luotian Sect have long been irreconcilable? As long as someone proposes cooperation with them, they will inevitably do whatever they want to lose even if they have to lose some people."

Wen Ming was stunned, and the uneasiness and concerns in his heart were much better than before. As Li Ling said, he knew some things early in the morning. It was because he understood that Li Ling had a grudge with the Luo Tian Sect that he came up with this plan. But now he realized that he had underestimated the complex identity and past of this young county magistrate, especially because he was still alive and had the identity of the Imperial City Stis, and wanted to turn around and slander himself that he did have a considerable success rate.

Seeing that there was panic in his eyes, Li Ling increased his scrutiny again: "I know that it may not be possible to convict you just by my side, but, Master Wen, do you really feel that I am the only one who targets you at that time? At this point, there will naturally be many disciples and old officials, but there will be no fewer political enemies.

"If you are good, they will naturally not do anything. But once something happens to you and reveals a flaw, will they let go of this opportunity to take advantage of the situation? I am just a small county magistrate. At worst, I will not be this official. I will also make a profit by pulling you out of office. Do you dare?"

Li Ling did not make a louder voice in this sentence, but said it lightly, but the pressure on Wen Ming was unprecedented, causing a layer of fine beads of sweat to pop out on his forehead. He was really panicked.

Yes, he can now just borrow the status of his superiors to Li Ling's official position, but what about? He also has the status of the Imperial City Setis that he can't stop, and he can also report to the court. As for killing him directly to silence him, the consequences are probably even more serious. After all, many people have seen Li Ling enter the yamen today. If he dies like this, Wen Ming still cannot escape.

After thinking about it, Governor Wen had to choose to compromise. No matter how reluctant he was or how he didn't want to give in to a subordinate, he could only give in to his side in the face of such pressure.

So after a while of stuttering, he finally whispered hoarsely: "What do you... want?"

"I just want justice!" Li Ling narrowed his eyes and stared at him, "Governor, you are using me so much and putting me and the people around me in danger. Should you apologize?"

It's that simple? Li Ling did not hesitate to tear his face with him and took out so many remarks and identities to suppress himself in order to make him a formal apology?

Wen Ming couldn't believe his ears anymore, but after seeing Li Ling's solemn appearance, he knew that the other party was not joking, he wanted justice and dignity!

In fact, Governor Wen also valued this point very much, otherwise he would not have wanted to use his identity to suppress others just now. But now, when something more important is placed in front of him, he chose his future, dignity, and so on without hesitation, so he could only put it aside.
