"Brother~"

As soon as Li Ling returned home, Yue'er, who had run out of the backyard after hearing the news, rushed up with tears in her eyes, and then hugged him tightly, as if he was afraid that he would disappear suddenly, and his mouth was filled with fear and complaint: "Where have you been going these days, but I'm so worried about me."

Li Ling hurriedly patted his sister on the back with his hand and comforted her: "Isn't this a thing? It's just that there are some errands in the yamen that need to be done, so I was sent out. I was so anxious that I didn't come back to notify me, but I also sent someone back to report the news."

"But I'm still worried..." Yue'er still looked like she was still scared. The little girl was really frightened these days. After all, Luoyang is not as good as her hometown, and her only relative suddenly disappeared...

Li Ling comforted her again, and then met her with several others one by one. Li Tong and Li Moyun were also worried. Compared to the simple Yue'er, they obviously saw more hidden information, but they didn't know what to ask for. In the end, Yang Qingxiao had a clear hint of uneasiness and guilt in her eyes when she met Li Ling's eyes.

After talking for a while, Yue'er finally calmed down, but she kept holding Li Ling's hand and refused to let go. In the end, because she had not been able to sleep well for a few days, she leaned on Li Ling's shoulder and fell asleep. When everyone else left temporarily, Yang Qingxiao said with shame: "Li...Brother Li, I really didn't expect that our Cao Gang would cause you so much. Whether you believe it or not, what I want to say is that I really don't know that my brother will have another arrangement, but instead brought you in."

Li Ling smiled bitterly and sighed: "Forget it, I like to meddle in other people's business. This is because it is related to such things. It's not all your fault." He could see that the other party was telling the truth, and she really didn't know that her brother had another design. In other words, this time, Yang Qingxiao was also kept in the dark and was also used by her own brother.

"But don't worry, I have asked you for leave from the Ministry of Revenue, and they will not pursue it. Also, everything is fine at home, and I have been taking care of Yue'er, so I have not let her suffer any grievances." Yang Qingxiao explained quickly as if she made up for it.

"I believe you." Li Ling nodded again, "By the way, what's going on with the bookstore? I haven't been there these few days. They are ready for the next newspaper. Brother Wan is nothing wrong, right?"

"Everything is normal there, but Mr. Wan seems to be dissatisfied with you, saying that you are actually going to be the boss now, but he is very busy." Yang Qingxiao thought of Wan Lang's appearance when he complained, and unconsciously showed a smile, which finally calmed the atmosphere between the two a little.

"Then I'll go over and apologize to them tomorrow, and then I'll finalize all the second newspaper." Li Ling said, "I'll go back to the yamen later. I guess I've accumulated a lot of errands there. It seems that I've been busy these days."

He disappeared for several days without any reason. Naturally, there are too many things that need to be cured. It is only a trivial matter to calm people's hearts. Don't ruin your future and business because of this.

...

When Li Ling turned to the office of the Ministry of Revenue in the afternoon, many colleagues came forward to say hello, especially those of the same year who had drawn a clear line with him and vowed to exclude him, showed unprecedented enthusiasm at this moment, and they all asked about his physical condition with concern. There were also two people who said they had any prescriptions for nourishing their bodies. If Li Ling did not dislike him, they could send them to his mansion.

Li Ling just dealt with this casually, then found an excuse and went straight to see Lu You.

Since Dai Xiao was beaten down, Lu You, the deputy director, temporarily took over his position as a doctor. It can be said that the Qing Lisi is really the one who is in charge. Since Li Ling had filed a lawsuit before, he will naturally find this boss to eliminate the fake.

But when he knocked on the door of Mr. Lu’s public room, he saw a more familiar person - Xiang Daxing. Just looking at him next to Lu You and his red face, people could guess what was going on: "Brother Xiang, are you promoted?"

Sure enough, when he saw Li Ling, Xiang Daxing also had a happy expression and bowed repeatedly: "It's thanks to Wen Zhong, you are valued by Lord Lu. I have been promoted to the head of the Qing official department. I will listen to him and handle relevant accounts."

From the treasury to the head, he was indeed promoted by half a level, but this is not the most important improvement. The heads of the Ministry of Revenue each perform their duties. For example, the more than 20 heads of the Qing Lisi Department are mostly in charge of the finance and tax affairs of a province. For example, Jin Huan, who was dismissed before, was the heads of Huguang. But in addition, there are also some heads who seem to have no definite power and seem to care about anything, but in fact they can manage everything, because they are only listening to the doctor and have the right to interfere in other heads' responsibilities, so their rights will naturally exceed other equal heads.

Lu You is now a temporary doctor in office as a junior, and actually promoted Xiang Daxing, who has been withheld for many years. Now, Li Ling can understand why his colleagues are so polite to him in the same year. Obviously, they think that this is his recommendation to Xiang Daxing, which allows him to make a name for himself. In this way, everyone naturally has to flatter him, in order to be the same as Xiang Daxing. Even if they are not good, they can't become Dai Xiao and Dai Wanchun.

Not only these people, but also Xiang Daxing himself felt that it was Li Ling who helped him, so after meeting him, he looked grateful: "Wen Zhong, I..."

Before he could say his gratitude, Li Ling patted his shoulder lightly: "Brother Xiang, I am naturally very happy that you can have today, but you don't have to be so arrogant. In fact, Lord Lu values ​​you so much because you have outstanding abilities, so I dare not take credit. By the way, is sir inside? I'm here to eliminate the fake."

"You're here, just go in." Seeing him say this, Xiang Daxing realized more and more that Li Ling was a gentleman, and then looked at him with gratitude and remembered this love in his heart.

Li Ling nodded to him again, then entered the room, turned a screen that isolated the inside and outside rooms, and came to Lu You, who was still looking through the account book at the desk: "The official Li Ling has met Lord Lu. He had been on leave because of illness before, and he recovered today. I'm here to eliminate the leave."

Lu You, who used to always give people a sense of sharpness and murder, but when he saw him today, his aura was much more restrained. When he saw Li Ling, he had a smile on his face: "Wen Zhong, please sit down. Since you are sick, it is also necessary to rest at home. This is not a big deal."

"Thank you for your care."

"Well, but you came just in time today. Just early in the morning, the Minister of State Bian suddenly said that he wanted to see you. Tomorrow morning, you should go to see the Minister."

"Ah?" Li Ling was stunned. "Why did the Minister of the Secretariat want to see me?" He was just a small seventh-rank governor. Although he had just made a fuss before, he was not as concerned as the Minister of the Secretariat, right? Or did he say that he had taken too much leave this time, which made his superior dissatisfied?

Seeing his tangled look, Lu You smiled: "Don't worry too much. I've asked for you. It shouldn't be a bad thing."

I think so. If the Minister of the Cong really wants to give up on him, he doesn’t have to see others at all. Just one word will be enough for him to suffer. Only after understanding this level could Li Ling calm down.

"By the way, in the past few days when you were away, other officials of the government helped handle the errands, so you don't have to worry too much. After meeting the Minister tomorrow, you will take over the errands. Today, you just recovered from illness and don't have to be too tired. Go back early and prepare for your meeting with the Minister tomorrow."

Although the other party did not speak out completely, Li Ling had already vaguely heard some deep meaning. Obviously, the matter of the minister at the border tomorrow was quite important. This made him wonder more and more. Until he came out of the public housing and even walked out of the Ministry of Revenue, he still had this idea in his mind. What was the minister's idea?

But Lu You, who was watching him leave, was muttering softly: "You really have to be blessed, but you don't have to be busy, but you don't have to be busy and heartbroken..."

This sentence fell into Xiang Daxing's ears and made him a little confused. He couldn't help but ask: "What does this mean by sir?"

"What do you mean? Can't you still see that Li Wenzhong's future is bright. The Minister of the Secretariat has a bright eye for him. If I see him well, the one who really likes him is the one who is the one who is above the Secretariat. As long as he seizes the opportunity this time, the sky will rise straight, and it will be just around the corner."

When he said this, Lu You's eyes were full of envy. Thinking about himself, after so many years, he finally seized the opportunity this time and was about to be among the top officials. This is really a death better than others...

But Xiang Daxing was still confused, with a confused face, and just responded quietly, and then focused on the document and account again. Lu You couldn't help but shake his head.

Li Ling, who didn't know his boss's feelings, was already strolling on the empty streets of the imperial city. Because Li Moyun, who sent him here, had already returned, he simply walked around, thinking about his thoughts while walking.

He quickly put the matter of meeting the minister tomorrow. After all, compared to the real problem, this is a trivial matter. The biggest problem now is how to deal with Liu Runsheng. Just look at the reactions of his colleagues in the yamen today, you can know that yesterday's incident did not cause much trouble, at least it was forced to suppress it. In this way, do you still have a chance to cause trouble?

Li Ling unconsciously calculated the power he could borrow. The first one was the censor Ren Fan, the chief censor from his teacher Wei Liang. He might have used the censors to talk about it to make things happen; the second one was the Ministry of Revenue, but the possibility was too small; the third one was the report, so the power of public opinion was naturally not small, but the problem was that Li Ling only wanted to run newspapers and make money from the beginning, but he didn't want to let him get involved in disputes between the court, as it would be very ugly.

After thinking about this, he didn't come up with a decision. He looked up again, but found that he had unknowingly left the imperial city and turned into the inner city, not far from the bookstore.
