Chapter 641 The Bull in the Porcelain Shop (Part 1)

Half a day passed, and the incident of Li Ling, an outsider, landing in the Transportation Department, was well known in the yamen. No matter the officials and servants, they naturally had only one attitude towards them, that is, to stay away from them and not even want to get close to the courtyard they occupied.

However, there are always exceptions. Zeng Geng passed by the yard because he was ordered to go to the nearby Jiagekuli to get things. Li Ling, who happened to come out, glanced at him and immediately waved to him.

As a clerk who has been in the Transportation Office for three years, Zeng Gen has always been a low-key and obedient person. He must have had no contact with Li Ling and others, but now he has been called and he is not good at pretending to be deaf and dumb. He can only lean over with some anxiety: "I have seen an adult, but I wonder what his adult has to give?"

Li Ling looked him up and down a few times, and was not busy talking about things, but asked casually: "What's your name? Where do you do the job?"

"The young Zeng Gen, listen to Liang Shaoqing's hands and handle some miscellaneous matters." He was honest and told his powers.

Li Ling smiled and said, "Since that's the case, that's right. I am worried that I can't find anyone to help with some trivial matters in the yamen. Since you are used to dealing with chores on weekdays, it's time to find you the right person. You can call a few chores here and then help me get some four treasures of the study and various blank books. Also, I also need a detailed details of the provincial departments of the Transportation Department in the past two years, and a detailed Kun map. I will give you half an hour, so I should be able to deliver everything to me, right?"

Li Ling didn't ask if the other party was free, and if he was willing to help him do things, he directly issued a series of orders. This immediately made Zeng Geng's face feel embarrassed: "Sir, I'm sorry, I have a job, and your order is probably..."

Li Ling didn't wait for him to give an explanation at all, but looked at him and said, "What are you going to do? Who asked you to do things?"

"Uh... Liao Tongzhi just asked Xiaodi to get a few previous accounts..."

"Then I asked you if he is a sixth-grade co-education master or me, the fourth-grade young master?" Li Ling fixed his eyes on the other side, asked in a slightly unkind tone, and deliberately emphasized the ranks of the two.

"Since... I am naturally the Lord Shaoqing..."

"My errand is closely related to the war in the Northern Xinjiang, and then what Liao Tongzhi, is it so important for you to do?" Li Ling continued to put pressure, which made the other party unable to speak. He could only subconsciously shake his head and joke, what else can be done in the court now compare with the war in the Northern Xinjiang? Even in the Transport Department, most of the people are busy with this.

"That's it. I want you to do things. How dare you make excuses for small matters? Go quickly and do the things for me as I told you. Jin Wei, come with him." Li Ling said, and waved to a clerk from the Ministry of Revenue to call out a clerk from the Ministry of Revenue. The latter quickly agreed and walked to the clerk Zeng who was struggling with a confused look on his face: "Brother Zeng, please."

"Yes, Brother Jin, please." Zeng Gen was stunned for a moment, but he still felt sad and led the way. He was not tough enough, and after being suppressed by Li Ling, he could only cooperate obediently.

It was not until they walked away that Li Ling slapped his lips, full of disdain. The officials of the Transportation Department were so petty and clumsy. They thought that ignoring them could exclude them, and they didn't think about their identity now. Not to mention those middle and low-level officials, even Yuan Yunjie, the chief official of the yamen, wouldn't be afraid of him if he had just stepped forward. After all, he had the emperor's will to provide the foundation.

So Li Ling didn't care about this little thing at all. He sent the two of them away and went straight back inside, continuing to deal with the trivial matters at hand with others, and then passed by one hour. Not only did the things not come, but even Jin Wei didn't come back to report his life.

"Sir, they haven't come back yet, so there will be no change, right?" Finally, someone couldn't help but raise their worries, and some others also nodded. After coming to the Transportation Office, they felt the hostility from their colleagues, so naturally they were inevitably worried.

Li Ling's brows also frowned. Time had indeed been delayed for a long time, and it was probably a variable. He looked at the people present. Except for Lu You, they were all not good at arguing with others, and they were considered technicians. Even Lu You looked uneasy at this time. Obviously, he was a newcomer and had no confidence to fight against the people from the Transportation Department.

Understanding this, Li Ling slowly exhaled and had to take action himself. Then he rushed to Li Moyun, who was guarding the yard, and said, "Moyun, go, follow me and go somewhere else. You can handle the matter at hand first, and I will go back soon." As he said that, he went out.

Xiang Daxing and others responded softly, with a hint of embarrassment on their faces. They thought they could help Li Ling with the problem, but now they found that many problems were not something they could do. Only Lu You, after hesitating, followed him out and whispered: "Wen Zhong, don't act irritably for a while, make enemies with them..." He also knew Li Ling's temperament and knew that this was not a person who was willing to suffer losses, so he gave a special reminder.

"Don't worry, they are not worthy." Li Ling smiled, "I'll ask you to take care of you here." After saying that, he had already strided away. With Li Moyun's follower, he was full of momentum, which made Lu You even more uneasy. I wonder what would happen to him in the past this time.

...

Jin Wei and Zeng Geng stood in the corridor with their hands down. When they were blown by the cold north wind, they were trembling and their faces turned pale, but they did not dare to leave the vent, because in the public room with closed doors ahead, Liao Tongzhi didn't think about how to send them.

Just now, when they ran around to take out the things they needed at Li Ling's order and called several servants to take them back together, they were hit by several other clerks. Two of them happened to be under Liao Tongzhi's subordinates, so they grabbed Zeng Geng and asked what he was busy with. Lord Liao was a little impatient to wait.

Zeng Gen did not dare to swear his boss, so he obediently told the matter. Those who didn't say anything at the time, but turned around and reported the matter to Liao Tongzhi. Then the master was annoyed and immediately called the two of them over, and asked the servants to send all the things back to the warehouse.

Then Li Ling dared to provoke him, and didn't look at which territory this place was and what his identity was. So with the idea of ​​giving Li Ling a lesson, Liao Tongzhi thought of punishing the two of them, and fortunately he would establish prestige in the yamen first.

His behavior was naturally known to other officials. At this time, many people were secretly watching from afar to see how things would develop.

Just as everyone was waiting to watch the show, two steps came over the veranda ahead. It was Li Ling and the others who inquired and found it. Although the Transportation Department deliberately excluded the new Shaoqing, as long as he stopped him and asked, no official dared not to answer. So after going out, he knew about Jin Wei and the others' situation and quickly found him.

Seeing the two of them looking a little embarrassed from afar, Li Ling's face suddenly darkened. This was not punishing his subordinates, it was clearly slapping himself in the face. He raised his eyebrows and stepped faster under his feet. He immediately came to two clerks with cold faces: "Jin Wei, what's going on?"

"Big... Sir..." Jin Wei was a little stunned. He reacted for a moment and quickly bowed his salute, then looked at the public housing portal that was still closed, "It was Mr. Liao... Sir Liao who asked us to wait here for the post."

At this time, the guys watching the show in the distance showed meaningful expressions. I really wanted to see how this new Shaoqing would deal with this target. Such a good show is not common.

Li Ling's eyes only glanced at these people casually, and then stopped paying attention. Instead, he raised his chin and looked forward: "Mo Yun!"

Li Moyun immediately understood and stepped forward, put his hand on the door, shook it hard, and with a bang, it opened the closed door directly, and sent the chill from the outside in, which made the middle-aged official who was drinking tea and reading books inside suddenly startled and shivered.

This made him suddenly annoyed, and he quickly looked up and said angrily: "Who dares to be so arrogant!" After saying that, he saw the strange young Scarlet official who was looking at him outside. Although he had never dealt with Li Ling, he immediately guessed the other party's identity, which changed his face. This person was really direct.

Li Ling was not polite, so he immediately stepped into the room, then sat on a chair next to him casually and looked at the other party: "Liao Tongzhi, right? This official Li Ling, just for the Transportation Office Shaoqing."

"It turned out to be Li Shaoqing. I wonder what advice would you give to you when you meet the subordinate?" Liao Tongzhi calmed down a little, sat there so hard, and asked casually, without the respect he should have when he saw his superior.

Li Ling looked at him and pointed to the two people who were still standing outside: "Of course I came for them. What do you mean? Why did you let my subordinates stand here for punishment?"

"Oh, it turns out that he is Li Shaoqing's subordinate, that's really offended. But this is also the reason why they made mistakes first and delayed my official's job, so I thought about the small punishment and great warning. Since Li Shaoqing came to talk about the matter, I naturally didn't dare to punish them anymore, so I let them leave."

Liao Tongzhi said it nicely, but in terms of expression or words, they actually had the intention of suppressing Li Ling. He also felt that Li Ling had just arrived and did not dare to be enemies with an old man like him. He had the attitude of giving you only a little face and stopping when he saw the opportunity.

Li Ling smiled, but his eyes were cold: "If you make a mistake, you will be punished? Is this the rules of the Transportation Department?"

“That’s right!”

"Because they delayed Liao Tongzhi's official duties?"

"good."
