Chapter 57
"Lord Li, what do you mean? You and I are both officials in the court and work for the emperor. I'm afraid it's out of courtesy for you to do so."

Su Lei in the hall spoke solemnly, as if he was a good official with integrity and self-discipline, but his eyes glanced uncontrollably at those boxes from time to time.

That Mr. Li was obviously dumbfounded. Didn't someone say that he could do things if he was given money? What's going on now?

That Master Li was so anxious that he hurriedly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his wide sleeve, not knowing what to do.

Thinking that maybe this Mr. Su is really a good official, someone intentionally punished him, so he said hastily.

"My lord, this is serious. This,,, oh, this is something that was handed over when Lord Li's mansion was sealed up. I just came to ask my lord how to deal with it."

That Master Li thought that Su Lei was actually an upright official, and he didn't want to get angry, so he said it wisely in a hurry.

"However, now that the lower official already knows how to deal with it, so I won't disturb your lord, and the lower official will leave now."

As he spoke, he greeted the servants and prepared to move things back home.

The expression on Su Lei's face suddenly changed, this person doesn't know how to mess with the officialdom.

Secretly scolding him in his heart, he was thinking about how to keep the money.

I don't know what to say, I'm very conflicted on the surface, and it's not easy to come forward and ask him to keep the money.

I had no choice but to give the person around me a wink, motioning him to speak.

That person has been with Su Lei for many years, and he instantly understood what Su Lei meant.

He hurriedly stopped him and said, "I don't know how Master Li plans to deal with these things?"

That Mr. Li wanted to carry it back to the mansion, after all, this is not a small sum.

But now he was asked this way, so he could only say: "These bribes must be handed over to the state treasury. I wonder if your lord has any advice?"

Master Li's heart was dripping with blood, but on the surface he looked like an upright official, he didn't say anything, as if everything was as it should be.

And that Su Lei and his subordinates suddenly felt that the person in front of him was so stupid, they couldn't figure it out.

Under Su Lei's signal, his subordinate continued: "I don't know why your lord is here today, is there anything you need to ask our master for help?"

"My lord, why don't you say it out and hear it. It's the best if our master can do it. If he can't do it, he won't reveal every single word."

After finally speaking so clearly, Su Lei stretched his brows, and that Master Li finally understood, and secretly scolded himself for how stupid he was just now.

Asking the servant to put down his things, Master Li also tidied up his clothes, and said slowly: "Your Excellency doesn't know, it's because I'm a low-ranking official, I'm not talented, I want to find an official position, and I hope you can help me."

Su Lei was about to play Tai Chi with him, but thinking of what happened just now, he was afraid that he would be forced away by accident, so he had no choice but to speak directly.

"Master Li, don't worry, I will help you. I wonder if you are satisfied with Jing Zhaoyin's position?"

"Satisfied, satisfied, satisfied, then there will be Mr. Lao."

Jing Zhaoyin works in Qiyang City, and his official position is not low, which is a very good thing.

Therefore, Master Li nodded repeatedly and smiled very happily, because he was satisfied with this matter from the bottom of his heart.

"In that case, then," Su Lei said halfway, then looked at the two boxes of jewelry and motioned him.

The man quickly answered with a smile: "This is a filial piety from the lower officials, and I hope that the adults will not give up on accepting it."
