Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

Chapter 13 Half a Golden Lock

Emperor Gai Zhang said: "Miss, I am a really good person."

"Yes, sister, he just saved me." Du Xiaoyue explained.

Mo Chou said, "The villain pretended to be a hero and saved the beauty to gain your trust, but you don't understand this. All your acting was in vain."

Emperor Gai Zhang was extremely anxious at this moment. Du Xiaoyue stopped talking mid-sentence and he immediately asked, "Miss Xiaoyue, what is the White Lady's name?"

Du Xiaoyue was about to speak when Mochou interrupted her immediately, "Xiaoyue, don't tell him. Let's go."

As he said that, he wanted to pull Du Xiaoyue away.

They had just taken two steps when Emperor Gai Zhang called out, "Miss Xiaoyue, what's her nickname?"

Du Xiaoyue stammered, "Her nickname... I forgot."

Emperor Gai Zhang thought to himself, what a big deal! He actually forgot such an important thing.

Now there are no clues at all.

……

At the city gate, Fu Kang'an stood in the middle of the road, expressionless. Wu Zui came forward and said, "Master Fu."

Fu Kang'an remembered something and said, "Master Wu, did you know that someone is gossiping about you in front of the emperor?"

Wu Zui was a little anxious. "Gossip? What gossip?"

Fu Kang'an said calmly, "Someone secretly reported to the Emperor that when Mo Li came to Yunzhou, Lord Wu warmly entertained him and said that the relationship between you two is extraordinary."

Wu Zui thought it was all about this, and said, "Master Fu, Mo Li was the Censor at the time. How could I not give him some face? I have no connection with him. In fact, I have long hated Mo Li in my heart."

Fu Kang'an sighed, "What a pity, Lord Wu, the emperor has misunderstood you deeply. I'm afraid you can't keep your official hat."

Wu Zui said, "It's unfair, it's really unfair."

Fu Kang'an laughed and said, "Master Wu, I have an idea."

Wu Zui said, "Master Fu, please tell me about it. I would like to hear the details."

Fu Kang'an's expression suddenly turned extremely cold, and he said, "Drive Mo Li away and don't let this troublemaker stay around any longer."

Wu Zui nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

……

In the room, Mo Li and Ji Xiaolan sat together drinking tea.

Ji Xiaolan nodded and said, "So that's what happened."

"That's right, Brother Ji, are you on my side or Heshen's side?" Mo Li was waiting for Ji Xiaolan to say something.

Ji Xiaolan said, "The two of us, along with Liu Yong, are all honest officials of our Great Xuan State. Of course, I stand on your side."

Mo Li was moved, tears streaming down his face. He said, "I have no regrets in dying because I have a close friend like you."

The two held hands tightly together.

Ji Xiaolan asked, "Have you figured out how to deal with Heshen?"

Although Qiqi knew the plot in advance, he couldn't come up with a clever plan to deal with Heshen. He could only say, "No, I can only take it one step at a time."

At this time, thunder began to roar outside and heavy rain was about to pour down.

At this time, Yunzhou prefect Wu Zui walked in with a group of officers and soldiers.

"Is Qiqi here?"

Mo Li knew that this person was here to drive him away, so he hid behind Ji Xiaolan.

Wu Zui glanced at Mo Li and said, "Still want to hide?"

"If I don't hide, do you think you can kick me out?" Mo Li said with a smile.

"You've already guessed why I came here. Very good. Mo Li, I tell you the truth. I've long seen that you have an evil look on your face and your intentions are not right. The emperor is wise and has dismissed you. The academy is a privileged place, and outsiders are not allowed to enter without permission. Come, kick Mo Li out."

Wu Zui gave the order.

Ji Xiaolan opened his arms, blocking Mo Li's way and said, "Wait, this is my room, and Mo Li is my guest. How can you kick him out?"

Everyone thought that what Ji Xiaolan said made sense.

But Wu Zui didn't care and said, "This is not the place for him to come."

Ji Xiaolan said coldly, "It's not up to you to decide whether he should come or not."

Wu Zui said sternly, "I'm the prefect of Yunzhou. I have the final say, don't I? How can you, a provincial education official, have the final say? Ji Xiaolan, I'm telling you, I, Wu, must drive Mo Li away today."

Ji Xiaolan said, "Who among you dares to touch him?"

Although Ji Xiaolan usually speaks in a very literary manner, he is still able to control the situation at critical moments.

Wu Zui was stunned.

He thought that Mo Li was a man of some means, and his current setback was only temporary. If he was reinstated in the future, he would be in trouble.

But we can't just ignore what Lord Fu says.

After much deliberation, Wu Zui decided to take a tough approach.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Mo Li picked up the umbrella he had prepared long ago and said, "I'll go by myself." He was not stupid. If he didn't leave, he would be caught in the rain outside.

Wu Zui looked at Mo Li's departing back and sneered, "He really ran faster than a rabbit. Immediately notify Lord He and Lord Fu and tell them that I have completed the task they assigned to me."

Not long after Mo Li left, he encountered He Shen's sedan chair. He Shen quickly stuck his head out and said, "Isn't this Mo Li?"

Mo Li and Heshen have been friends since childhood. No matter how cruel Heshen is, he would never let Mo Li get wet in the rain alone.

Mo Li saw He Shen and said, "Wu Zui is so arrogant that he kicked me out."

He Shen said, "Come into the sedan quickly, don't get yourself wet."

Mo Li forced a smile, "I have an umbrella."

However, he still accepted Heshen's favor and sat in the sedan chair.

"Brother He, where are you going?"

"I'm just about to go eat. You know how boring it is to eat alone. It's great to have you accompany me."

The two of them arrived at a restaurant, and He Shen asked Mo Li to order his own dishes. Mo Li was not polite and chose the most expensive dishes.

After most of the dishes were served, Heshen poured Mo Li a glass of wine and said, "Come on, Brother Mo, let's drink."

The two people's wine glasses clinked together.

Mo Li drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and said, "This is really good wine. I have never tasted such delicious wine in my life."

He Shen said: "Friends are like wine, they can warm you up when you are cold."

Mo Li said, "Brother He, what you said is very good. For this sentence, I will toast you a glass." After that, he poured wine for Heshen and also poured some for himself.

The two men's glasses clinked together again.

Mo Li thought of something and said, "Brother He, this is the fine wine given by the Emperor. You treat me with such a fine thing, so you must have something to ask for."

He Shen said, "Brother Mo, I can't hide anything from you. Yes, I have something to ask of you."

"I have always been grateful for your kindness. If you have anything to say to me, just tell me. As long as it is within my ability, I will definitely do it." After saying this, Mo Li picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth to chew.

In fact, Mo Li already knew what Heshen would ask.

Heshen took out a painting, which showed exactly that half piece of golden lock.

Mo Li said, "So this is what I want to ask, brother. I know this."

Heshen was naturally overjoyed when he heard this.
