As Wan Lang said, during this period, Li Ling has been busy opening newspapers in the bookstore, just like he is a businessman, not a court official. But in fact, he is now a small official in the Ministry of Revenue. Even if he would go to the yamen for a while every morning, he would quickly run back to the bookstore and read whatever he wanted.

In fact, many people have questions in their hearts, but it is hard for others to mention them in person. Only Wan Lang, Li Ling's partner and friend, can ask it bluntly. However, when facing this question, Li Ling just smiled and did not give any more explanation: "Don't worry, I have my own sense of responsibility."

The reason why he has this confidence is actually closely related to his situation in the Ministry of Revenue - the public housing location where he and Xiang Daxing are located is too biased, so ordinary officials will not come at all. Even if they really need to use the Chinese books and accounts in the warehouse, they will only send a subordinate official to pass the message.

Li Ling, relying on his previous generosity, had long won the friendship between officials and servants of the Qing Office, so even if he was not in the yamen, no one would have gone to report it. Even the few servants guarding the side gate had already gained his benefits and would let him leave early every day.

A small person who was already insignificant in a cold position has been properly handled. It is natural that Li Ling wanted to hide from those adults from the Ministry of Revenue to do business. At least that was what he thought before today.

On the seventh day of the fifth month, another morning, in the slightly hot weather, many officials in the Ministry of Revenue were still busy with their own chores. Li Ling only wandered around the public room for a while, and then waved to Xiang Daxing: "Brother Xiang, see you tomorrow."

Xiang Daxing looked at him with a wry smile: "Wen Zhong, although you are dissatisfied, you shouldn't do anything like this. It's been more than half a month, and you just come to the yamen every day and leave. If you really get the doctor and the others find out, you will feel better..."

"Who will pay attention to a little person like me? Why not take this opportunity to do something more meaningful." Li Ling did not take the other party's advice to heart at all. He just smiled, turned around and left the public room, then covered his mouth and nose with one hand, and hurriedly headed towards the side door not far away.

This public housing located in the corner is indeed very beneficial. You can leave like this without realizing it. He left the Ministry of Revenue so easily for more than half a month. But this time, just as he and the officer guarding the door signaled with a smile and stepped across the threshold, a joking voice came from behind: "Li Wenzhong, Li Tanhua, you are so comfortable and so free! Before this time has passed, you are actually leaving the yamen to do your own private affairs. It's so envious!"

The sound suddenly made Li Ling's body shake suddenly, and the servant next to him also changed color instantly. He turned around suddenly and looked at the guy with a fake smile not far behind him: "Dai Wanchun..."

"Haha, I didn't expect it? Actually, you don't have to be surprised. You often walk by the river, so how can you not wet your shoes? You have always sneaked out of the yamen for no reason. Do you really think you can hide it from everyone?" Dai Wanchun narrowed his eyes and then tsk him out loud: "I really didn't expect that you, Li Tanhua, would fall into such a field. If you don't do your job well in the yamen, you always want to escape and have fun. You said, what would happen if I reported this matter to you?

"Well, Mr. Zhong has always been the most important rule, and Doctor Dai never rubs sand in his eyes. If you act like this, you are afraid that even if you have the identity of Tanhua, you will be severely punished. Of course, you may not be exempted from your official position, but your future will definitely be over. When the political observation period is over in March, you may kick you into a cold yamen. You will never be able to turn over again in your life. Haha, after ten years of hard work, I have to go to waste because I can't think about it for a while."

He spoke slowly, looking at Li Ling with his face becoming more and more ugly, but the smile on his face became more and more intense: "This is just the ending of you, but when this matter comes out, how can you be the only one who is punished? Xiang Daxing, who is in the same public housing unit as you, knows that you have a mistake but never reports it. Even if you cover up or accomplice, his crime is not small. And they..." As he said, he pointed to the officer who had already been scared and trembling, "These people have taken you good things. Such corruption and abuse of power and neglecting their duties will make the greater the crime. Not to mention that the errand cannot be saved, I am afraid that I may be sued by my Ministry of Revenue and directly thrown into prison. By then... tsk tsk, you may not be able to implicate dozens of people at this time, and you, Li Tanhua, are really amazing."

After saying this big message full of threats, Li Ling's face turned pale and his body trembled slightly, the officer beside him was even more shocked and immediately fell to the ground and kowtowed: "Mr. Dai, forgive me, the young... the young are just confused for a moment, so... "

Seeing this scene, Dai Wanchun became more and more proud, hoping that this moment would last for a long time...

Speaking of which, he didn't have any deep hatred towards Li Ling, but he was more jealous. He was obviously more knowledgeable, but after several encounters, he always suffered losses, which made Mr. Dai, who has always been arrogant, unacceptable to him no matter what.

Especially as the final palace examination result came out, this guy who was ignorant in his eyes became a noble Tanhua, which made him even more annoyed, but he was so powerless. After all, that was the order that the court finally arranged.

But the more powerless some things felt, the more they were pricked in their hearts like a needle, making Dai Wanchun unable to let go. Until he learned from his uncle that Li Ling was actually coming to the Ministry of Revenue to observe politics, this gave him a chance to vent his anger and prove himself. For this reason, he tried his best to convince his uncle, and thus he had the previous targeted arrangement!

I thought that under such suppression, Li Ling would have been in extremely painful life in the Ministry of Revenue. Dai Wanchun felt that he could finally abandon the jealousy. As a result, a few days ago, he learned something from a person of the same year that Li Ling, who should have worked in the warehouse, was not included, but secretly left the yamen and didn't know what to do.

This made Dai Wanchun unable to accept it again. He thought that the other party had suffered all the hardships, but in the end it seemed that he was the one who suffered, and it really responded to the saying "The clown is me" - under the intentional cultivation and trust of his uncle Dai Xiao, Dai Wanchun was really busy these days. He had done all kinds of errands, big and small accounts, and he was really busy from morning to night without breathing.

After this comparison, Dai Wanchun suddenly realized that Li Ling, who was neglected, was so free and easy now. How could he tolerate this? He originally planned to report it directly, but later he changed his mind and had other thoughts, which led to the appearance of today.

Looking at Li Ling's panic and angry look, Dai Wanchun felt a sense of pleasure. But then, he found that Li Ling's expression changed again, and suddenly took two steps forward and walked towards him. This made him a little uneasy, so he quickly took a step back: "What do you... want to do?"

"I should ask you this, Lord Dai." Li Ling stared at the other party and said, "If you really want to report it and kill me, you don't have to come and block me suddenly. You can expose everything after I leave. With your position as Lord Dai in the Qingli Department, it should not be difficult to do this, right? So, you run over and talk about these things in one fell swoop, and there are other purposes besides wanting to see me panic."

"Ha... I didn't expect you to be a little smart. It's really easy to expose you, but it's not better than making me happy for a few days, so I thought of another way that is more beneficial to me. If you are willing to do something for me, maybe I won't expose you this time."

"Let me help you do things? Humph, do you think I will believe your nonsense? Maybe I really agree to you and after I helped you do something shameful, you will only hold more of my handles. By then, I'm afraid my ending will only be worse." Li Ling refused immediately.

Dai Wanchun sneered, "Then do you think the result of yours I said before is not bad? Your future is only in my mind. Do you think you still have a choice? Also, do you really have to bear the fate of those who are implicated by you? "

"I..." The entanglement on Li Ling's face became stronger and stronger, obviously he was making the final struggle.

Seeing this, Dai Wanchun said again: "And I just asked you to help me with some errands. It's all the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue, so what's a shameful thing?"

"really?"

"What did I lie to you? This may be of some use to you. At least it will make you understand the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue better. You said yes, right? It's just that the credit is not counted on you after the matter is done. I think you probably won't mind these things too much."

"It's really not an illegal act?" Li Ling was obviously a little moved when he looked at it. Indeed, the situation in front of him gave him almost no choice.

Dai Wanchun looked at him and smiled and said, "Of course. But before that, I need you to write a confession for the escaping from the Ministry of Revenue, sign and seal it, and then I will hand over the errands to you. Moreover, you can still leave as before, just hand over the documents to me according to the time. How about it, are you willing to accept the opportunity I gave you?"

After pondering for a while, Li Ling finally sighed: "As you said, I don't seem to have a better choice, I can only choose to trust you and do things for you."
