Although he was a little "sincere" in his heart, Li Ling quickly got out of the car and went up to see him: "Mr. Lu is really well-informed. You are waiting here before I get home."

"Haha, this is what our Imperial City Department does. It is natural to receive news of Lord Li's return earlier." Lu Zhen said with a smile, and he was quite close in his attitude, and he couldn't tell the intention of wanting to blame him.

Li Ling was relieved and brought the person into the house. He planned to go back to the backyard to change his clothes and then come out to see the guests, but was persuaded by the other party: "Mr. Li doesn't have to be so troublesome. The lower-ranking official came here and only told him something important. Then he took the liberty to wait outside the door and said goodbye."

"Oh? I don't know what advice?" Li Ling looked solemn, and he went directly to the front hall with him to sit down. His servant brought the tea.

"I don't dare to give you advice. I'm here to remind you that you must prepare early in case someone sue you." After a slight pause, Lu Zhen lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Li doesn't know that during the time you left Beijing, there were censors in the court who impeached you in this trip contrary to the rules, and then some of your colleagues from the Ministry of Revenue expressed their dissatisfaction. Of course, these are not the most critical. The most important thing is that just the day before yesterday, my Imperial City Office found out that someone in the Ministry of Revenue was gathering everyone to jointly impeach you for neglecting your duties and doing misconduct. And this leader is the minister of the Assistant Learning Taoism."

Li Ling's face suddenly sank and his mood became a little bad. Unexpectedly, those guys refused to let go after he went out of Beijing to avoid disaster. Moreover, they knew that they had just taken the normal process and went to the southwest to do business, so why did they have to pick out the mistakes? It's really hateful to be so reluctant!

Lu Zhen looked at him and said, "This matter has been launched. In these few days, maybe a joint bullet stamp will be sent to the Silver and Taiwan Division. If you are two days late, you will be afraid that the Censorate will be questioned first as soon as you arrive in the capital. So, you have to make plans early and think you will deal with it."

Li Ling's expression changed slightly, and then he looked at him again and said, "I wonder who else is there to jointly impeach me except for learning Taoism there?" He was not very polite at this time, and he also called his superiors the name. Thinking about his previous concessions and tolerance, thinking about the risks of his experiences and risks in the southwest in order not to be picked up by the other party this year, he naturally hated Bian Taoism so much that he didn't want to leave any room for him.

"Well, many officials in the Qingguan Department where you are are on that list, and only a few are not on it. By the way, there are two people you should be interested in. One is your boss Lu You, who has not signed the joint memorial yet, but according to what I have investigated, the position of the announcement is to be left for him. The other is Xiang Daxing, who has not signed it, and he was suspended for this."

When Li Ling heard this, his anger calmed down and he slowly muttered the names of the two: "Lu You, Xiang Daxing..." His heart felt even warmer. After all, he had made two good friends.

After a while, he stood up solemnly, clasped his fists at the other party and said, "Thank you, Lord Lu for warning me, I have recorded this favor."

"Haha, I also don't like the despicable methods of these scholars the most, so I think of reminding you. But you don't have to worry too much. After all, you have made great contributions in the southwest this time. Others don't know, but I, the Imperial City Department, knew early in the morning. Your Majesty and the adults in the Political Affairs Hall also knew early on that you had made great contributions to the court, so even if someone wanted to wrong you, he would not hurt you at all."

"Yes, they really cannot let me be punished by the court for such false charges, but this approach is really despicable. I, Li Ling, don't want to always play these bad games with them." There was another light in Li Ling's eyes, which made Lu Zhen feel a little shocked: "Why, Lord Li is planning to find another way out and not to join in with him? If this is true, the door of my Imperial City Department will always be open to you."

"This... I'll leave it to the Imperial City Office for public office in the future." Li Ling hurriedly refused. He didn't have any prejudice against these secret spies, but he really didn't realize that entering the Imperial City Office would have a better future than being in the Ministry of Revenue. After all, in the Ministry of Revenue, he could climb up step by step. It would not be a dream to be ranked three and nine ministers at that time. But even if he did the final result, he would be just a secret spies, and his identity would naturally be much worse. Moreover, he didn't want to become a broken person or an Eunuch Li for this...

Then, he said, "But I really want to ask Lord Lu to help me."

"Oh, but what's the matter?"

After Li Ling told him what he wanted the other party to help, Lu Zhen's expression became a little weird, and there was a little more fear in his eyes: "Do you really want us to do these?"

"I think this shouldn't be a difficult task for the Imperial City Department?" Li Ling just smiled at him, "He is doing the first day of the lunar month, and I am doing the fifteenth day of the lunar month, which is very fair."

"This matter is extraordinary after all, and I can't respond to you now, and you should know who is behind him."

"Of course, you can go back and ask Eunuch Wei for instructions, but I think if Eunuch Wei is loyal to His Majesty, he will definitely agree to this matter."

Lu Zhen nodded, said no more, and soon stood up to say goodbye. Somehow, he always felt that although he hadn't seen him for a year, Li Ling's temperament had changed greatly from before. That sharpness and determination would make him feel a little afraid. It was a powerful aura that he could only feel in a few senior officials.

It was not until he sent Lu Zhenli out that Li Ling breathed a sigh of relief. The news ruined his mood for home. However, in order to prevent his sister and the others from worrying, he quickly adjusted his mindset and returned to the backyard with a smile. Yue'er and the others had prepared the food and food there, just waiting for him to enjoy it together to welcome him.

After a long separation, they naturally had a lot to say, so they toast each other in this rich banquet, saying all the things they had experienced since their separation.

The two girls who stayed in the capital actually lived a rich and dull life. They were nothing more than just going to Longmen to enjoy the scenery today, and going to Baima Temple to burn incense tomorrow, or they mentioned some of the current Zongheng Bookstore and Zongheng Monthly Reports - no, it is time to call it Zongheng Half Monthly Reports, because the sales volume is so good and there are many manuscripts received. Under the operation of Wanlang, they have changed from one issue per month to two issues per month - success stories.

When talking about this bimonthly magazine, Yue'er giggled drunk because she drank a little wine: "Brother, my novels have also been published in the newspaper, and many people like them... I didn't expect anyone to like the novels I wrote, and they even wrote letters to the bookstore..."

"I said earlier that Yue'er, as long as you write with your heart, your talent will definitely be appreciated." Li Ling was also happy for her sister's success, and reached out to touch the top of her head, disrupting her hair.

Yue'er did not dodge and escape like before, but instead approached Li Ling very happily and nodded vigorously: "Well, I will definitely write more and better novels in the future."

"Yes, our Yue'er is a little talented girl." Li Ling praised her a few more words, which made the little girl even happier. Unconsciously, she drank all the wine in the glass, and then got drunk.

As a result, only Li Ling and Yang Qingxiao were left in the room and were still awake. Li Ling picked up the wine glass and came to her: "Qingxiao, thanks to you who have been with Yue'er this year, I will use this wine to express my gratitude."

Yang Qingxiao smiled, and although she raised her glass and touched him lightly, she said, "You don't have to say that. Yue'er and I fell in love with each other at first sight, so it is natural to take care of her."

Just as she gathered to drink a sip, Li Ling smiled and said, "It's just because of this?" These words made Yang Qingxiao's hands tremble slightly, and a little blush appeared on her pretty face, as if she was drunk: "What do you mean?"

"Don't you think you two are very sisterly?" Li Ling asked again with a smile, and Yang Qingxiao's face changed again: "You..." This is obviously not what she wants to hear.

But then, Li Ling's second half of the sentence came, but her face turned red again: "After all, Yue'er is my sister, maybe she will become your sister."

"You... what your sister, my sister..." Yang Qingxiao was a little embarrassed, but she said a little anger.

Seeing that she was so shy, she was more beautiful than ever before, and she was a little stunned. After a while, she got closer: "I want to say, can we not only be friends, but also let me go to Jiangnan to ask the boss Yang to marry him?"

"You... who said you like you, I want to marry you, I'm so embarrassed..." Yang Qingxiao blushed even more, but although she was saying that, she could only see the joy at the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, even a blind man could tell her feelings.

Li Ling naturally understood it, and felt even more joy in his heart. He suddenly reached out to hug her: "Qingxiao, I mean it's true that you and I have known each other for two years. Your feelings for me, my feelings for you..."

Just when he was about to pierce the last layer of window paper, Li Tong slapped the door outside: "Young Master, someone outside sent a famous priest, saying that you are asking you to go to the mansion tomorrow night."

This interruption finally made Yang Qingxiao wake up, and quickly pushed away Li Ling, who was hugging him, and his pretty face turned redder than Yue'er who was drunk and asleep. Li Ling sighed helplessly, why did someone come to the door as soon as he came back? Is this another bad news?
