Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

"Brother Li, I understand, Brother Li." After saying that, Du Xiaoyue hugged Mo Li's hand, and the two walked towards a certain direction together.

He Shen walked into the living room with a hearty laugh, sat down, and said, "My legs are sore from this trip to Liulichang."

Liu Quan said, "Congratulations, sir, for purchasing the treasure." He then presented the brush washer.

He Shen took it and said, "After all, the trip was worthwhile. I didn't have time to look at it just now, but this time I must take a good look at it."

He tapped the pen wash with his knuckles and said, "Good stuff, good stuff."

However, when he took a closer look, the expression on his face froze immediately.

The more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong. He walked to a brighter place, picked up the brush washer, looked at it carefully, then put it down, looking distraught.

He looked at Liu Quan and said, "What did you say I bought?"

Liu Quan said, "Treasure, sir."

He Shen said: "You are blind, stupid slave. This is a fake."

"Fake?" Liu Quan thought he was finished.

He Shen shouted, "It's fake."

Liu Quan said, "I really don't know."

Heshen said, "Okay, okay... Since you think it's a treasure, I'll give it to you." Then he handed over the brush washer.

Liu Quan reached out to take it and said, "It's useless for me to hold it."

He Shen said, "Useless? It can be used as a spittoon, right? It can be used as a chamber pot, right?"

Liu Quan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and said, "Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."

He Shen said, "Just leaving like that? What about the eight hundred taels of silver?"

Liu Quan said, "Oh, I'll get it back right away. Go get it back, get it back." After saying that, he turned around and walked out the door.

He Shen looked at his back and said, "You are smart."

He Shen sat down, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He muttered to himself, "Mo Li, fine, I've lost this round. But tomorrow I'll see what you can present to the Emperor."

……

When it was time for the morning court session, civil and military officials entered the hall one after another.

Emperor Gai Zhang came over and sat on the dragon throne.

All the officials knelt down and said in unison: "Long live the emperor."

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "My dear minister, please stand up. Please stand up."

All the officials said in unison, "Thank you, Your Majesty," and stood up one after another.

Emperor Gai Zhang looked at Mo Li and said, "Mo Li, have you brought the Su Dongpo treasure? I am waiting to see."

Mo Li walked out and said with a bow, "Your Majesty, I heard that Lord He found another treasure yesterday. It is a genuine piece of Mr. Dongpo and he wants to present it to Your Majesty. Then let Lord He come first. Lord He."

The Emperor pointed with his finger and said, "My dear, have you obtained another authentic Su Dongpo painting? Oh, quickly present it to me so that I can appreciate it."

He Shen said nervously: "No, Your Majesty..."

After saying that, he looked at Mo Li and said, "Mo Li, where do I get any genuine Dongpo works? You're talking nonsense again."

Mo Li said, "Your Majesty, I saw with my own eyes yesterday that you bought a genuine piece by Su Dongpo. It's a brush washer in the color of water and sky, Your Majesty."

He Shen said to Mo Li, "How dare you say that? It was clearly you who lied to me yesterday."

The Emperor said, "The brush washer with the color of water and sky is surely a masterpiece passed down from generation to generation. My dear Lord, please quickly present it to me so that I can admire it."

He Shen said, "No, Your Majesty, it's like this. This Mo Li is incredibly cunning. Yesterday at Liulichang, he managed to seduce me and I was completely fooled. I spent eight hundred taels of silver on a fake. I'm ashamed."

Emperor Gai Zhang couldn't help but laugh and said, "You are quite an expert in identifying antiques. It's funny that you could be fooled. But I was so happy for nothing."
