It was the third day of August in a blink of an eye. With the arrival of a storm, Luoyang has officially entered the autumn season.

The gloomy sky was covered with thick clouds, and heavy rain formed lines, connecting the world. Even after noon, the sky was already dark and almost walking with lanterns.

In the Ministry of Revenue, Zheng Feng, a clerk of Chengfafang, walked carefully in the corridor with a thick stack of documents, trying his best to avoid the continuous dripping rain from the eaves on the side, which made him sometimes unable to take into account the situation ahead.

Sure enough, just as he turned a corner, a person suddenly flashed in front of him, almost colliding with him. Zheng Feng was so scared that he exclaimed and tried his best to dodge his body. At least he was not knocked over by someone's Chinese textbook, but he still made the top few things fall to the ground with a snap.

Just as Zheng Feng was crying in his heart, the man in the official robe in front of him apologized first: "Sorry, I'll pick it up for you." He then saw the other person clearly, and a grateful smile appeared on his face: "It turns out it's Lord Li, the young man has hit him, and I hope he won't be surprised."

After Li Ling helped him pick up the document, he waved his hand and smiled, "It's me if you say it wrong. If you take so many documents, you will naturally be inconvenient to avoid it... Let's do this, I'll help you get half of it, so that you won't accidentally get the document dirty."

"How did this make..." Although Li Ling has always been quite polite to them, such as clerks and servants, he was an official after all. He heard that he would be promoted to the main office soon, how dare Zheng Feng ask him to help him do such miscellaneous things?

But before he finished speaking, Li Ling had already reached out and took a thick stack of documents from his hand, held them in his arms, and turned his head forward: "Let's go now."

"Thank you, sir." Zheng Feng thanked him sincerely, then followed Li Ling forward and continued along the not-too-wide corridor towards Chengfa Room in front.

The so-called Chengfa House is where the Ministry of Revenue issues various official documents to all prefectures and prefectures in the world. Although the power is not too great, the responsibility is not small. Whether it is the Secretariat or the head of the department, they will hand over the official documents to be sent to the outside, and thus arrange for delivery and personnel.

It was just because of this rain that more than a dozen officials sat in this spacious public room today, each bowing their heads and busy. Until they saw Li Ling coming in, they stopped their affairs and greeted him. Li Ling had no intention of being condescending. He smiled and said a few gossips to them, then flipped through the documents and accounts on the table, and then walked away.

Behind him, the officials praised him from time to time: "Mr. Li is really the kindest master. He has no airs and is still very careful with us."

"Who said no? The day before yesterday, he also helped me move a few documents that needed to be sent to the Banking and Taiwan Division to the outside room. If other adults have to put them in, I'm afraid they will only urge us to do things as soon as possible."

"So Lord Li can be promoted to the head of our Ministry of Revenue in just a few months. Those other political viewers still don't know what they can do..."

Li Ling just laughed at these words, but his mind was more on the document in his long sleeves. Although he was a bit risky this time, he succeeded at least. In this way, everything was foolproof.

"Mr. Li, it turns out you are here..." A man hurried over from the front. When he saw Li Ling, he quickly bowed and said, "It's easy to find a little girl. I'll ask you to come if you have something to do."

"Hmm?" Li Ling glanced at him. The letter office who was the close friend of Bian Xuedao, and smiled and said, "I wonder what lord has to give?"

"Of course it's a good thing. You'll know when you go." The man kept a secret and made a gesture of inviting Li Ling, leading him forward and took two steps before he couldn't help but say, "Sir, don't forget the younger ones in the future."

"Haha, it's easy to say." Li Ling guessed from his words that the Minister Bian called himself in the past, obviously to fulfill his original promise.

Sure enough, after entering the general office and seeing Bian Xuedao, the minister smiled and pointed at the official edict on his desk to signal Li Ling to open it: "Wen Zhong, I have done what I said this time. From today on, you will be the head of my Ministry of Revenue. Although there is no definite responsibilities in your hands, don't worry, as long as there is a vacancy, I will arrange it for you."

Li Ling's face was full of surprise. He quickly took two steps forward, held the small scroll with both hands, unbuttoned the ribbon outside, and expanded it to look at the contents inside. This is indeed the most common official edict in the Dayue Dynasty. Its material is the best corrugated paper and was also pasted with silk as the base. On the top, Li Ling's name, hometown, origin and simple appearance characteristics are written in the pavilion style...

Of course, these can be ignored. The most important thing is to come later. It is clearly written by the Ministry of Personnel and Li Ling is specially appointed as the head of the seventh-rank Ministry of Revenue!

Looking at this official title, Li Ling was stunned for a long time. Finally, he officially became a court official, and he was no longer a temporary official like Guanguan.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people at this time, the governor was no worse than the chief. After all, both parties were seventh-rank, and their salary was not changed. But for the time traveler Li Ling, there was still a fundamental difference between the two, because the former always reminded him of the temporary government workers in later generations. Only after receiving the official edict of the Ministry of Personnel, he felt that he was a real imperial official and there was no possibility of any change.

Seeing Li Ling's behavior like this, Bian Xuedao laughed, which made him come back to his senses. He quickly bent down and bowed and thanked: "Thank you for your support. I will do my best in the future and live up to my high expectations."

"Haha, Wen Zhong, you don't have to do this. All of this is achieved through diligence in your own work. I only said a few words. But one thing you said is right. Although you have been in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, and one of the few people are promoted here in March. You should not be complacent. You must encourage yourself to do things well and not be complacent."

"Yes, the lower official keeps in mind the teachings of the adults."

"And..." Bian Xuedao lowered his voice a little further, "Your Highness Yong has also helped in this matter, don't forget."

"Of course, I dare not forget it. If Your Highness Yong has his own orders in the future, I will definitely not refuse."

"Well, that's good. In two days, the master of the ministry will rectify the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue. Maybe there will be a real job opening at that time. You have to seize the opportunity." After giving Li Ling a few words of encouragement, Bian Xuedao waved his hand to signal that he could step down.

Li Ling smiled knowingly and saluted again. Just as he was about to leave, a sound of footsteps came from the outside, and then several clerks were slightly panicked: "Who are you? Why are you going straight into my Ministry of Revenue..." "The Censorate was ordered to handle the case, and the idle people could not wait to delay the block!" As a majestic voice sounded, the blocking sound turned into a scream. Then, a group of more than ten people came to the door of the public room and happened to face Li Ling who was turning around and about to leave.

The first thing that caught my eye was the bright red. The people who came were wearing short-collar and narrow-sleeved crimson outfits, and black fast boots on their feet gave people a clean and neat impact. The first person also wore a long sword around his waist, and his serious face really gave people a great murderous aura.

Just looking at their dressing momentum, a noun quickly popped up in Li Ling's mind - Tiqi!

It was a team of arrests under the Censorate, specially used to arrest officials in the court. It can be said that many officials in the court fear the most. They used the fast horse and long swords of red clothes, black boots, fast horses and long swords as standard, and their majesty was even stronger than those of the fourth rank and above in the red purple official robe.

Sure enough, the Minister Bian, who was also wearing a big red official uniform, changed his face the moment they appeared in front of the door. He couldn't help but get up, and said with a serious expression: "What are you... what are you here for?"

"Bian Shigong..." The man in charge clasped his fists at him and then shouted loudly: "According to the order of Lord Zongxian, I will come and ask you to go back to the Censorate to investigate the illegitimate situation. If you have any crime, please come with us."

Although he was a little respectful, his tone was absolutely tough, and he did not give Bian Xuedao any chance to shirk responsibility. After a change in his expression, he looked at Li Ling again, and then slowly said: "I asked myself that I had never done anything illegal. I also did things carefully in my Ministry of Revenue and had a clear conscience. But since it was the invitation from the Censorate, I should also be invited."

After saying that, they stepped out, and the men in the cavalry just nodded at him, then came to him from both sides, clamped him and walked out. From beginning to end, their eyes did not fall on the side, as if they were scared by this incident.

When Li Ling followed them out of the General Office, many officials, clerks and officials from all over the world had already come out to look around. However, in front of these squids, no matter how many words were spoken, everyone did not dare to speak for a while, and could only look at them with strange eyes.

The following afternoon, all the officials in the yamen fell into a trance, because the Ministry of Revenue was taken away this time, not only Bian Shilang, but also five or six other officials. In the face of the death of the rabbit and the fox, everyone was naturally scared, fearing that something would happen again.

In this way, naturally no one will pay attention to Li Ling's promotion to the main affairs.

But when the evening was about to disperse, another group of tik cavalry suddenly came to the door, but this time, they came straight to Li Ling. Under everyone's surprise eyes, the leader looked at Li Ling without any expression: "Li Ling, on the order of the General Constitution, I will come and ask you to go to the Censorate to investigate the illegitimate situation. Your incident has been revealed, let's go with us!"

Faced with such a situation and the many colleagues around him who were surprised or gloating, Li Ling seemed quite calm. He just cleaned up the documents on his desk, poured half a cup of tea into the brazier, extinguished the last bit of embers, and then nodded and followed them out.
Chapter completed!
