My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 328 Everyone is vying for the empty seats!
"What?! They've acquired so much stuff this time, and they're going to hand it all over?"

"Yes, the confiscated treasures are divided 30% among everyone, and the remaining 70% are handed over. That's the rule! Isn't Inspector Li Wei being a bit too cautious?"

"I think the Inspector General makes a good point. There are many eyes watching us now, so let's let it go for now! With Inspector General Li by our side, are we afraid we won't have a chance to make money in the future?"

Everyone had just joined Li Wei's team and was at the most cautious and vigilant stage, so although they were very reluctant to part with the valuables, they still took out everything and no one dared to keep anything for themselves.

So it only took about an hour.

Bai Jie completed the application process, and Lao Xinzhi wrote the search report. They took the receipt and the report to Minister Lei's office.

After reading the report, Lei Yanzi remained silent for a long time. The invisible pressure emanating from him, a Nascent Soul cultivator, made Lao Xinzhi feel extremely oppressed.

Just when he was about to give up, Lei Yanzi suddenly burst out laughing.

"Excellent! You've uncovered such a big case this time, bringing great honor to our entire Thunder Division. Go back and tell Li Wei to keep up the good work!"

"Yes!"

After Lao Xinzhi left, Lei Yanzi opened a drawer and took out more than a dozen letters of complaint. These letters not only detailed the funds returned to Huang Tianyi and others' families, but also listed their family's assets in detail. Anyone who didn't know better would think they were account books.

"No wonder everyone says education is a lucrative profession. Looking at it this way, those bastards like Huang Tianyi are richer than me! Sentencing them to only two thousand years in hell is too lenient."

Zhang Li, standing nearby, glanced at the report Li Wei had submitted and said with some surprise, "So this kid didn't embezzle a single penny?"

Moreover, not only is he not corrupt himself, but he can also control his subordinates to not be corrupt, which is quite extraordinary.

"He simply guessed that someone would use this to attack him. Although the kid is young, he has a keen sense of the power dynamics. These things are useless now."

Lei Yanzi set those complaint letters on fire.

Zhang Li sighed, his voice tinged with a chilling tone, "I was originally planning to deal with Kong Miaodan while he was taking the exam, but it seems we'll have to reconsider this matter later..."

"The world is bustling with activity, all for the sake of profit. This matter might be an opportunity for us!"

Lei Yanzi turned around and looked at the bustling street outside, saying as if nothing had happened:

"Li Wei's subordinates have suffered such a huge loss of profits this time, they're probably quite resentful, aren't they?"

Zhang Li's eyes flickered, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

……

The case concerning the Central State Elections Division has been closed, but the controversy surrounding the division is far from over.

This time, Li Wei took down all the top officials of the Education Department, which means that there are suddenly 1 more Director, 4 more Deputy Directors, and 16 more Supervisors in the power structure of Zhongzhou City!
Just look at how much money Huang Tianyi and his cronies have embezzled over the years, and you'll know how tempting the power of the Election Department is!

Therefore, the lower-level officials of Zhongzhou City began to make ordinary efforts to try to obtain this opportunity for promotion, while the local officials of other counties and cities in Zhongzhou City were frantically looking for ways to be transferred over.

Even cultivators from the other four states are getting restless.

After all, Zhongzhou is the center of the entire human realm, and Zhongzhou City is the center of the entire Zhongzhou. It can be said to be the place in the Three Realms closest to the power center of the Heavenly Court!
Lord Zhongzhou is meant to be superior to others, and the divine officials who come from Zhongzhou must also be superior to other divine officials, so naturally everyone wants to come to Zhongzhou.

For a time,

The number of divine officials coming and going in Zhongzhou City increased dramatically. Every day, the teleportation station was filled with either mayors from various regions or heads of powerful families with divine bloodlines.
It can be said that almost every prominent force in the human world has sent representatives to the Central Continent Immortal Mansion to inquire about the vacant positions.

Some influential figures even invited their own patriarchs to a banquet hosted by the "True God" for several mayors of Zhongzhou City.

Mayor Yang, I don't know the number of slots available this time.

"I'm afraid we'll have to disappoint the Star Lord this time! In the past, the power to appoint the Divine Officials of the Selection Division did indeed lie with our Zhongzhou City, but this time we only have the right to nominate them. The final decision still rests with [the relevant authority]."

Mayor Yang pointed upwards.

The Star Lord immediately understood and nodded, saying, "Having the right to nominate is already good; at least you have a chance if you're nominated! Speaking of which, my grandson is not even three hundred years old this year, yet he has already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and has mastered the laws of the Holy Path of Education. I wonder if he could be nominated?"

Mayor Yang laughed heartily: "Lord Xingjun, we're old acquaintances, so I won't beat around the bush!"

"Since His Majesty Shanghao is personally involved in this matter, it means that His Majesty will definitely arrange for his own people! So what exactly constitutes His Majesty's own people? Are the people recommended by our Immortal Palace still His own people? Can His Majesty really accept these people?"

"Therefore, from my humble perspective, your choice to take the path of the Immortal Abode might lead you further astray!"

【you mean? 】

"In my opinion, the only people who truly have the right to nominate this time are His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor's confidants! There are no more than 10 such people in Zhongzhou!"

"Therefore, if the Star Lord wants to find a job, he should look for those who can truly reach the ears of Heaven, such as Special Envoy Li Wei!"

It must be said that those who serve as divine officials in the Celestial Palace are more or less adept at discerning the Emperor's intentions, especially the mayors of Zhongzhou City, who are extremely sensitive to this matter. Therefore, Mayor Yang only guessed the truth of the matter to some extent from the fact that the Supreme Emperor had suddenly intervened in the matter of appointing divine officials in the Selection Department, combined with the Supreme Emperor's usual ordering habits.

only,
He underestimated Li Wei.

This time, his power goes beyond just having the right to nominate someone!

Late at night, the Jade Emperor once again contacted Li Wei through a special envoy jade talisman:
[Minister Li, here is a list jointly compiled by my trusted confidants. Find an opportunity to interview these people. Appoint those who are suitable, and dismiss those who are not! Make sure you firmly grasp the real power of education in Zhongzhou City!]

The Supreme Emperor only cares about the result, not the process. As long as Li Wei can eventually cultivate the Imperial Teaching Advancement Law System, he will not mind giving him the green light all the way.

Anyway, he's just one person. Without a family to leech off him, how much more could he possibly embezzle?

To put it bluntly, if we just control Li Wei's bloodline and prevent him from having too many children, then after he dies, wouldn't everything he has amassed belong to the Jade Emperor?
Therefore, He gave Li Wei a great deal of authority, even allowing him to decide on this personnel appointment, in order to create a favorable environment for him to promote the cause.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After bidding farewell to Shang Hao, Li Wei turned around and picked up the list, which contained the names of more than 60 people. Among them, 12 had the surname Meng, and it was obvious that they were relatives of someone.

"That Meng Shifei guy knows I hate Him, yet he still sent his relatives over for me to arrange jobs for. Is he trying to make me back down and give me a way out?"

Puzzled, Li Wei subconsciously glanced at the resumes of the twelve members of the Meng family and found that the highest cultivation level among them was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, while the rest were all at the Golden Core realm.

If Li Wei appointed them as high-ranking officials in the Central State Education Department, he would be bombarded with criticism from countless netizens the very next day.

"Heh! Even if someone at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage came, I could still pull strings, but for Meng Shifei to bring such a group of people is a bit too much! Could it be that he doesn't want to get it... um?"

Li Wei suddenly realized.

It's quite possible that Meng Shifei didn't want these positions.

After all, He was destined to be a loyal subject, and if Li Wei had "recommended" his family, it would inevitably arouse suspicion in the future.

However, if Li Wei rejects all members of the Meng family, then Meng Shifei will have another "grudge" against Li Wei.

So the more powerful Li Wei becomes in the future, the more the Supreme Emperor will rely on Meng Shifei—the separation of powers and checks and balances is the simplest imperial strategy.

"Looking at it this way, Meng Shifei's scheming is truly terrifying! In that case, I'll grant your wish."

Li Wei immediately removed all 12 members of the Meng family from the list, leaving none behind!
There were still more than 50 people left, so the Heavenly Dao 0.91 system was asked to investigate their backgrounds online and filter out any cultivators who were too snobbish, greedy, or ruthless.

After posting the results, there were no more candidates available.

"Alas, it seems I overestimated the Heavenly Court. That makes sense; how could a divine official who rises to the level of a department head be a good person?"

With this in mind, Li Wei had no choice but to relax his requirements, and finally found 11 people who were barely capable of handling the important task.

"Well, we can only start by interviewing these people."

The longer the position of the Director of Education is delayed, the more likely problems will arise. Therefore, the Supreme Emperor of Heaven gave him three days to decide on the candidate so that He could arrange for someone to take up the post.

Li Wei needs to hurry.

"Bai Jie, use your phone to send a message to a few people, saying that we need their cooperation in investigating some cases, and they need to arrive within a day!"

"Yes!"

To maintain secrecy, Li Wei had been extremely discreet, even avoiding contacting these people personally and instead using Bai Jie as a intermediary.

But to my surprise, it was still discovered.

Everyone had guessed that Li Wei had the right to nominate, but now he suddenly and inexplicably wants to call on cultivators from all over the human realm to cooperate with the investigation?

"Investigating so many people at this juncture doesn't seem right at all. Could Li Wei be using this as a pretext to do something else?"

He did the same thing when he arrested the people of the Election Division before. On the surface, he was holding a hearing on the cheating case, but in reality, he was secretly arresting the gods of the Election Division. He played the feint attack very skillfully.

So the monks who had been waiting anxiously for the nomination finally couldn't sit still any longer. They brought their gifts and came to Li Wei's office one after another.

For a time,

The entire Leimen area was bustling with activity.

It looks just like a bustling wet market!
Looking at the various treasures before him and the priceless promises made by the crowd, Li Wei couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "No wonder they say power is blinding; who can resist it!"
