Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

After saying this, Xiangyun left. Mo Li watched her leave and murmured to himself, "That's great."

……

A group of people were busy in the room, and the table was piled with books. Suddenly, the soldiers pushed the door open and someone said, "Search for me."

Someone resisted and was killed by the soldiers. The rest were taken away. Fu Kang'an walked in. Someone's body was still lying on the table. Fu Kang'an moved the body away and picked up a book on the table. There was a piece of paper tucked inside the book. Fu Kang'an smiled with satisfaction.

The boss was brought before Fukang'an. Someone said, "Kneel down."

The boss knelt down and said, "I, Cheng Fan, pay my respects to you, sir."

Fu Kang'an looked at the man and said, "Cheng Fan? You're so bold as to privately copy the Dream of the Red Chamber."

Cheng Fan said, "Please spare my life, sir. I deserve to die. I deserve to die."

Fu Kang'an walked over and said, "Cheng Fan, if you only tell me who gave you the manuscript of this book, I will let you off the hook."

Cheng Fan said, "Damn it! I forged the manuscript of this book."

Fu Kang'an was surprised and said, "What? Forged?"

Cheng Fan said, "After being banned, Dream of the Red Chamber became widely popular, and my colleagues all made fortunes by stealing and copying it. I was greedy for a moment, and was afraid that I didn't have the manuscript, so I asked someone to forge it and pass it off as Cao Xueqin's."

Fu Kang'an became a little impatient and simply said, "Take him away."

Immediately, two officers and soldiers dragged Cheng Fan away. Cheng Fan shouted, "Sir, please spare my life! Sir, please spare my life! Sir, please spare my life!"

Fu Kang'an ordered: "Burn it for me."

Immediately someone threw out two torches and burned the books on the ground.

……

"Brother Li, maybe people don't have any feelings for him, so he should not express his feelings to the wrong person." Du Xiaoyue sat on the chair, looking helpless.

Mo Chou said, "What did you say?"

Du Xiaoyue said, "Haven't you noticed yet? Our brother Li has completely changed since he met Xiangyun. He looks just like Jia Baoyu now."

Mo Chou asked, "Jia Baoyu?"

Du Xiaoyue said, "Didn't Jia Baoyu say that women are made of water and men are made of mud? I think our brother Li's bones are the same. He melts when he sees a woman."

Mo Chou teased, "From such a good book, you only remember these two sentences? Don't you know that when Xiangyun left, she left us a mystery?"

Du Xiaoyue asked: "What mystery?"

Mo Chou said, "Although it has been raining for half a day, I have never heard the sound of the Buddhist bells."

Du Xiaoyue said, "It's so profound, but I don't understand what it means."

Mo Chou said, "If I knew, I would know where the original manuscript of Dream of the Red Chamber is."

Du Xiaoyue said, "Brother Li is really something. Why didn't he ask Xiangyun clearly in front of her?"

Mo Chou said, "Then where is Mo Daxue's face?"

Du Xiaoyue said, "Then I understand. It turns out that our brother Li is afraid of losing face in front of Xiangyun."

Mo Chou said, "Yes, they just want to test Master Mo's intelligence. These two lines of poetry are just like the lantern riddles that Xue Baochai made in Dream of the Red Chamber. If Master Mo can't even guess this, then what right do we have to preserve the original manuscript of Dream of the Red Chamber?"

Du Xiaoyue said, "That woman is quite scheming. Humph, I can't beat her."

Mo Chou said, "You know what? A lot of people are fighting for this manuscript right now."

Du Xiaoyue said, "Isn't it an anti-China book? Why fight over it?"

Mo Chou said, "That's what makes it so interesting. Although it's a rebellious book, everyone wants to read it, everyone wants to copy it, and even booksellers are willing to risk being beheaded in order to pirate it and publish it."

Du Xiaoyue said: "Why is this?"

Mo Li walked over and said, "This further proves that Dream of the Red Chamber is a good book."
