Li Ling just wanted to laugh, you called me to the court by calling me, and now I have tried my best to report my name again. Isn’t this a brain?

He complained in his heart, but answered honestly: "Li Ling, the head of the Ministry of Revenue, has met you all."

After a snap, the official in front of the head shouted: "Li Ling, are you guilty of the matter now?"

The other party's momentum was indeed quite strong, and all the officials of the Ministry of Revenue who were already standing aside were shocked. However, Li Ling did not even move his eyebrows and said in a calm tone: "The lower-ranking officials have always been honest and serve as a duty officer. I really don't know what he did wrong and are going to be interrogated by the Censorate in this way."

"Bold!" The applause was slapped again, and the judge's face darkened: "What a clever mouth, Li Ling, I think you are really unhappy! Do you really think no one knows what you have done? I will ask you, is the arrangement for the transfer of food, fodder and supplies to the Northern Frontier Army?"

Li Ling nodded: "Yes, this is an errand given by the Minister of the Secretariat, and the arrangement made by the lower officials and several colleagues..."

"Very good, that proves that you have indeed used public interest to make hundreds of thousands of troops in the northern border defeat the heavy supply of the Northern Expedition."

"Wait, please forgive me for not understanding this lord's words. Why did I become a crime when I work hard to do it? The lord really cannot accept such a criticism, and I dare not admit such false guilt!"

"You are still unwilling to give up when you are in the Yellow River. Bian Shigong, please say it." The man said, looking at Bian Xuedao with a solemn expression on his face. The latter also looked at Li Ling deeply and sighed softly: "Wen Zhong, I was indeed a little careless before and I was concealed by you. It was not until yesterday that I was called by the Censorate and saw the impeachment of many censors and censors on your matter, and only then did I know that you... had done such a thing.

"You have made a secret move in the mobilization of military rations. Although there is no problem on the surface, once the official documents are issued to the local area, the military rations will inevitably be unable to be transported to the northern border in time because of the local facts. In this way, once the northern border army really attacks, it will inevitably lead to great failure. How can you do such a thing? Could it be that you were confused for a moment and ignored the key?"

When he said this, he kept staring at Li Ling, reminding him with his eyes, and asking him to admit the matter quickly.

Li Ling only frowned slightly: "Sir, the officials still can't understand what I did wrong..."

"I'm so brave, I'm trying to deny it at this time. Someone came to show him the copy of the impeachment memorials. I want to see how he excuses himself!" The judge was angry and smiled. He waved his hand and ordered someone to send a few newly copied memorials. At the same time, he said: "This is what my censor in the Censor secretly investigated and reported that the Ministry of Revenue submitted the transfer of food and fodder. Since the military ration is arranged by you and others, there will be any mistakes. Or, there are other hidden information in it, and you are being instructed..."

This last sentence made Bian Xuedao look tight, and he immediately coughed and looked at Li Ling threateningly: "Li Ling, now the evidence is conclusive, do you still dare to deny it? Do you really think that my King of Yue Fa can't do anything to you? If you dare to talk nonsense again, it will be more than just a matter of dismissal..."

Such extremely obvious threats made Lu You and others there shudder. At this time, these old officials still didn't understand that there was indeed a deeper hidden secret, but they just didn't know it. However, Li Ling was obviously an insider, but now the matter was exposed, he had to take responsibility.

Lu You sighed in his heart. This young man's courage and ambition were too great. How could he dare to get involved in such disputes between the court? What made him even more uneasy was that this matter might not be something that Li Ling could bear, and he would inevitably be implicated.

To understand this, more than a dozen officials from the Ministry of Revenue, including him, stared at this young colleague with resentment. Then they found that the young man was still not at all panic, and he actually opened the copybooks to browse quickly, as if he had no idea how dangerous his current situation was.

After waiting for a while, the presiding judge finally couldn't help but slapped the hammer again: "Li Ling, what else do you have to say? The facts are there, do you dare to deny it?"

Li Ling raised his head and narrowed his eyes, looking at him: "There is only one thing unknown to the officials. My Ministry of Revenue documents, especially the arrangements related to the border military's war are top secret. But how did these censors and censors find out, and how can they guarantee that the information they have is the truth?"

"Random, can you ask about this? My Censorate has always had the power to supervise all officials, so I don't have to tell you more! I only ask you whether you admit your guilt or not!" The presiding judge's patience had reached its extreme and he shouted angrily.

Bian Xuedao's face became even more ugly, and he immediately said, "Li Ling, you have made such a big mistake but you dare to argue without quibbling. Why don't you kneel down and admit your mistake to me!"

"I'm right. These impeachments are nonsense. The officials really cannot accept such slander!" Li Ling continued to straighten his chest and said loudly.

“Bold!”

“Bold!”

The two officials were yelling almost at the same time, and the presiding officer was even more angry and pointed at Li Ling and shouted: "Take me down and be punished!"

With his shout, the officers and soldiers on both sides immediately stepped forward, and their two powerful hands pressed against Li Ling's shoulders and under the scepter, and wanted to control him to kneel to the ground. Li Ling immediately struggled hard and shouted louder: "What are you doing? I am the imperial court official. How dare you lynch your orders at will? Do you make a move?"

But how could his power resist those powerful soldiers of Kong Wu? In just a moment, the person was pressed to kneel on the ground, looking extremely embarrassed. At the same time, the presiding officer's voice sounded above: "My Censorate has always had the right to interrogate officials. If he encounters those who refuse to cooperate in the explanation, he can take his official position first and then punish him! The person who comes will strip his official uniform, remove his official hat, and then punish him. Give him thirty boards first, and I want to see when he can still speak stubbornly!"

"Yes!" Several soldiers on both sides stepped forward and took off Li Ling's robe quickly. Even when he was held tightly, Li Ling hadn't arrived even though he wanted to hide. In a few seconds, he was taken off so much that he only wore a mid-cloth. The official hat on his head was forcibly removed, and his hair was even more scattered and scattered, and it was really unbearable.

At this time, Li Ling no longer made unnecessary struggles because he tried and could not escape the control of these guys. At the same time, he lamented in his heart that he was really going to suffer this time.

But there is no way to do this. If he does not suffer these grievances, the next play will not be able to be sung. So even if he was dragged back and the corners of his eyes were swept across a soldier to get a stick as thick as an arm, he still yelled with his teeth: "I am wronged, the impeachment memorials are not the truth. Lord, you have to make the decision for me..."

"Bianshi..." The judge looked at Bian Xuedao again with a gloomy face, as if waiting for the other party to give an explanation. However, Bian Xuedao shook his head and said, "I have read all the memorials. What I told me is true, Li Ling, don't deny it anymore."

In fact, yesterday he was taken to the Censorate and learned what he had told from the other party's words. He also took over the impeachment memorials, and he had already cut off his thoughts of quibbling. Obviously, these Censors had mastered every move of the Ministry of Revenue this morning, and they had also grasped the most serious flaw.

In this way, his only choice was to blame the fault on the officials who were actually doing things, and he was responsible for the crime of being unclear in identifying people, and negligence and stupid. Anyway, he had only one idea. This matter must not be involved in His Highness Yong. Even if he was convicted, he must be bitten to death without involving His Highness.

Now, seeing that Li Ling still refused to admit his guilt at this time, Bian Xuedao was extremely worried, for fear that this young man would tell the truth in panic. So what he could do at this time was to completely put the charge on Li Ling!

Li Ling turned a blind eye and shouted loudly again: "I am wronged. What they sued is not true. There is a big misunderstanding..."

"I dare to argue, I will torture me!" The presiding officer was completely angry and threw out a fire sign.

As the fire sign came to the ground, a soldier who had been standing beside Li Ling shouted, raised his thick stick and slapped it down hard, and hit his buttocks with a bang.

A burst of hot pain suddenly came from behind, causing Li Ling to let out a terrible scream, and his body trembled violently because of the violent force, so he wanted to struggle. But the soldiers on both sides were prepared, and immediately someone stretched out his foot to step on his hand. At the same time, the stick was snatched from behind and clamped his feet tightly. In this way, Li Ling's struggle was quickly disintegrated.

Before he could make another second struggle, another stick had been pulled down, and with a bang, his body fell heavily to the ground. Then there was a twitching, and the howling became even more and more terrifying.

Then there is the third stick, the fourth stick...

The thick stick thrust into his body, and waves of severe pain spread throughout his body, making Li Ling feel that his body was about to break. The howling also became low from the beginning, and finally turned into a moan.

Such a terrible and miserable scene that fell into the eyes of other officials of the Ministry of Revenue made them feel unprecedentedly scared. In the past, I only heard that the Censorate was the Yan Luo Temple for officials, but I had no definite knowledge after all. But today, when I saw my colleagues with my own eyes, they realized that the rumors were not false, and they looked even more terrifying than the legendary ones!
