Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

Wu Shudu used magic, and the three of them vanished in a gust of wind. Strangely enough, Fu Kang'an, seeing the original manuscript of "Dream of the Red Chamber" and Qin Xilan's sketches taken away, was not nervous at all. Instead, he remained calm, as if he had a plan to get them back.

The three of them arrived at a safe place, and Wu Shudu took out the things in his sleeve. Du Xiaoyue opened the box, picked up one of the books, flipped through it, and said, "It's a blank page. We've been fooled."

Wu Shudu said: "We were not fooled. The original manuscript of Dream of the Red Chamber and the sketch of Qin Xilan that Fu Kang'an found in my house were all blank papers."

Mo Chou said, "So Master Wu had already made preparations. Master Wu was a masterstroke, tricking Fu Kang'an and He Shen into thinking they had found the real thing."

……

In the antique shop, Heshen was holding a porcelain bowl, blowing on it with his mouth and saying, "Good stuff. This is a top-quality product from the Chenghua official kiln."

He turned the porcelain bowl upside down, took a look at the pattern on the bottom of the bowl, and said, "As expected."

He played with it for a bit more and said, "There aren't many of these left in the world."

The boss gave a thumbs-up and said, "Sir, you have a good eye."

With a bang, the porcelain bowl fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

The boss rushed over, a look of regret in his eyes, and said, "Master He, you..."

He Shen said, "Don't worry, I will pay you whatever the price is."

The boss said, "One thousand taels."

He Shen said, "I have another one at home. If I break this one, the value of my other one will increase tenfold. Come to my account office tomorrow to get the money."

The boss nodded.

At this time, Mo Li walked in.

He Shen glanced at him and said, "Lord Mo, I knew you would come to see me."

Li Qiye smiled and said, "Master He, why don't you buy this bowl? Wouldn't it appreciate in value if both bowls were in your hands?"

He Shen said, "To be honest, I just threw it for Lord Mo to see."

Mo Li looked like he was willing to hear more details.

He Shen said, "I want to make it clear to Lord Mo that no matter how precious something is, I am willing to sacrifice it."

Mo Li said, "Including the manuscript of Dream of the Red Chamber and the painting."

He Shen said, "Yes, I love Dream of the Red Chamber very much. But I still gave it to Fu Kang'an. Fu Kang'an is not as easy to talk to as I am. He specifically asked for your Wang Xizhi painting."

Mo Li, full of hatred for evil, said, "Using public power for personal gain is too much, too despicable."

After saying that, he sat down.

He Shen said, "Okay, okay, Mr. Mo is a true gentleman, and I am a true villain. But who knows how cunning villains are, and how hard it is to defend against them. When has a gentleman ever been able to defeat a villain?"

Mo Li said, "Master He, don't forget the saying, evil cannot prevail over good."

He Shen said, "Master Mo, don't forget the saying, 'The higher the virtue, the higher the evil.' Why say all this? To tell you the truth, Master Mo, before dusk tonight, as long as you send those three antiques to me, I promise that the original manuscript of Dream of the Red Chamber and the painting will be returned to their original owners."

Mo Li said, "Are you serious?"

In fact, he was acting. He would never hand over the three antiques.

He Shen said, "Boss, bring me that big bowl from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty."

The boss nodded and immediately took the things and handed them to Heshen.

He Shen took it in his hand and played with it, saying, "Another good thing."

The boss said, "Master He, you...you should be careful."

He Shen said, "It's hard to say for sure. As long as Lord Mo is still here, I might throw another one."

"Ah?!" the boss was shocked.
