Mo Li didn't answer directly, but asked, "Brother He, is the emperor looking for Lady Bai?"

He Shen said, "You forgot that the reason the Emperor and I came to Yunzhou was to find Lady Bai. This thing is related to Lady Bai."

Mo Li shook his head slightly and said, "I haven't forgotten. Why didn't you take it out earlier or later, but at this time?"

He Shen said, "The Emperor told me that when he asked Du Xiaoyue before, Xiaoyue mentioned that there was an opera singer who looked somewhat like the Emperor and was also older. I thought this person must be the one we are looking for, but who would have thought that Du Xiaoyue had forgotten her name or nickname."

Mo Li said, "Is there such a thing?" and fell into deep thought. Although Mo Li had the ability to replay TV drama scenes in his mind at any time, he had no way of knowing Liu Ruxu's exact location.

The TV screen showed everything going to Liu Ruxu's home. Who knows where she is?

Mo Li said, "Let's first analyze what this thing is. It's called a longevity lock, worn by newborn babies. You can find them everywhere on the streets. Brother He, if you want to find White Snake based on this, you're like looking for a needle in a haystack."

When Heshen heard what Mo Li said, he felt that his hope was about to be dashed, and said, "Then there is no other way? Take a closer look." After that, he handed the painting to Mo Li.

Mo Li said, "Heshen, what are you doing? You're hitting me in the face! I'm eating."

He Shen quickly took the painting back and said, "I was just anxious at the moment. You know, if I don't help the emperor find White Snake, the emperor will blame us and we will be beheaded."

Mo Li shook his head slightly, spat the bone in his mouth onto the ground, and said, "Not really."

He took a sip of wine and continued, "I just took a closer look and found something. This half piece of gold lock is indeed unique."

He Shen seemed to see a ray of light, "Speak quickly, speak quickly."

Mo Li said, “Although these gold locks are all the same, the goldsmiths who made them all left a mark on themselves…”

He Shen spread the painting on the table, looked at it carefully, and thought, "Mark? Why can't I find it?"

Mo Li looked disgusted and said, "Let me do it. Look, there is a mountain spring here. This is the special mark of Lin Xiaoquan, a famous goldsmith in Yunzhou." He pointed with his finger as he spoke.

He Shen looked at the place he pointed and said, "There really is a mountain spring there, Mo Li, you are truly amazing."

Mo Li said, "Heshen, you must be wondering where this person is. Lin Xiaoquan is currently working at the Confucius Temple."

He Shen bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Mo, for your guidance."

Mo Li spat and said, "Why did you mention these three words? I was fired, so why are you still mentioning these three words? You are mocking me."

He Shen immediately panicked and said, "No, Brother Mo, how dare I laugh at you? If I laugh at you, and you refuse to help me in the future, I will be screwed, right?"

"Yes, yes, I was overthinking it. Let's have a drink." Mo Li poured himself a glass and also poured a glass for Heshen.

The two wine glasses clinked together, making a clinking sound.

……

During the day, at the gate of Yunzhou Prefecture.

He Shen came to see Mo Li off and said, "Brother Mo, I wish you a safe journey."

Mo Li said, "Do you have anything else to say?"

He Shen asked in confusion, "I have never heard of the next part of 'Bon voyage' before. I am willing to listen attentively."

"He disappeared along the way." Mo Li said with a smile.

"How dare I, Brother Mo? Don't say such unlucky words when you are out." Heshen thought to himself why Mo Li was so unlucky. Besides, he was the one who was about to go out, so why didn't he have any taboos at all?

The carriage gradually drove away into the distance.

As soon as Heshen sent Mo Li away, Fukang'an came over.

Fu Kang'an asked doubtfully, "This is truly bizarre. I just heard you say that Mo Li was determined to get to the bottom of the Yunzhou case. How come he's gone now?"

He Shen said proudly: "He can't beat us, so of course he left. If he doesn't leave now, he will be caught in the rain like last night."

Fu Kang'an nodded and said, "That's right. Wait, sir, have we forgotten someone?"

"Are you talking about Ji Xiaolan?" Heshen thought to himself, what is there to be afraid of this smoker?

"Yes, Ji Xiaolan and Mo Li are in the same boat. I heard from Wu Zui that he wanted to drive Mo Li away last night, but Ji Xiaolan refused to let him go." Fu Kang'an said with a smile.

He Shen said, "Ji Xiaolan is nothing to worry about. That's nothing to worry about. By the way, how are the victims doing?"

Fu Kang'an said, "I was just about to tell you that these disaster victims are causing trouble."

He Shen said, "The Emperor is not concerned about these disaster victims right now. He is anxious to find his biological mother. I asked Mo Li last night, and I made a significant discovery."

Fu Kang'an said: "I understand, I understand. As long as the emperor is always thinking about finding his biological mother, he won't be able to care about so many things."

He Shen nodded, "Exactly."

The two smiled at each other and walked into the city.

……

A carriage was driving on the street. Inside the carriage, the Emperor Gai Zhang took out half a golden lock and looked at it carefully, saying, "It's really not easy to be with you, my dear."

You have to know that it was Mo Li's credit that solved the mystery of the half golden lock. Heshen just invited him to dinner and took all the credit on himself.

Heshen was of course very happy.

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "I have been thinking about it day and night, but I have no clue. I didn't expect you to find Lin Xiaoquan's mark in the golden lock. You are so smart. It reminds me of Mo Li."

When Heshen heard these two words, he immediately became unhappy and said, "Your Majesty, why are you mentioning him?"

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "You said he left Yunzhou?"

He Shen said, "Yes, I paid for the trip. This guy doesn't even have a penny on him."

Emperor Gai Zhang said, “It would be better if Mo Li was here, but this is almost the same.”

Heshen wondered what was going on. Why was the emperor always thinking about Mo Li?

He Shen began to flatter the emperor, saying, "Your Majesty's search for your mother is a well-intentioned effort that truly moves the people of the world. I have long since made up my mind to help the Majesty solve the mystery of his origins."

Emperor Gai Zhang said: "If I find my biological mother, you will be the first to receive the credit, and Mo Li will be the second."

Emperor Gai Zhang was not stupid either. He had long guessed that the person who solved the mystery of the golden lock was Mo Li and had nothing to do with Heshen, so he often mentioned him.

When Heshen heard this name, he got a headache and said, "Your Majesty, don't mention him anymore."

The carriage stopped in front of the Confucius Temple, and Emperor Gai Zhang and Heshen both got off the carriage.

The two looked at the words "Confucius Temple" on the plaque, nodded, and then walked in.

Before the door opened, someone came over and said, "Are you two here looking for Lin Xiaoquan?"
