Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

Du Xiaoyue said, "Master Mo, what are you doing? The house is just a little broken and the salted fish smells a little stinky. Is it necessary to get so angry?"

Mo Li said, "I lost my composure."

After saying this, he bowed and said, "Everyone, I was reckless. I'm sorry."

Emperor Gai Zhang was sitting in the basket, struggling and unable to get up. He said, "What are you three still standing there for? Come and help me."

The three of them worked together and finally pulled the Stamp Emperor out of the basket.

Emperor Gai Zhang straightened his clothes and said, "Mo Li, this is where you're wrong. You came up with this idea, and now you're angry again."

Mo Li said sincerely, "It's my fault. I lost my composure. I'm sorry."

These soft words he said made Heshen so angry that he had no place to vent his anger. He had to endure it and his face turned red.

Emperor Gai Zhang wondered what Mo Li was up to and why he suddenly got so angry.

Ji Xiaolan could see that the reason why Mo Li got angry was to show it to Du Xiaoyue.

Du Xiaoyue immediately said, "I'm sorry, everyone. I'll find you another place right away."

The last time Heshen read the imperial edict in the theater, Du Xiaoyue was also present, so she naturally knew the identities of Heshen and the Emperor.

The only person she didn't recognize was Ji Xiaolan, so she asked, "Sir Mo, who is this high-ranking official holding a pipe?"

Mo Li said, "I forgot to introduce you, this is Ji Xiaolan."

Du Xiaoyue said, "So you are Ji Dayanpai." As everyone knows, Ji Xiaolan is a famous upright official, and she has also heard of him.

Ji Xiaolan bowed and said, "Hello, Miss Xiaoyue."

At this time, Mo Chou walked in. She had just heard from Du Xiaoyue that these people were from the capital, and they were either high-ranking officials or emperors.

Mo Chou bowed and said, "I, the humble Mo Chou, pay my respects to the Emperor."

"Stand up, Mo Chou, tell me if you have any grievances." Emperor Gai Zhang said with a smile.

Ji Xiaolan quickly gestured for him to come and said, "Come, Your Majesty, please take a seat."

Emperor Gai Zhang immediately sat down on the only stool.

Mo Chou stood up and began to tell her story of grievance.

Everyone listened quietly. Mo Chou simply repeated to the emperor what she had said to Mo Li before.

Emperor Gai Zhang nodded and said, "I understand. These dog officials are worse than beasts."

He Shen said, "Your Majesty, please calm down first. Mo Chou, do you have any evidence for what you said?"

Mo Chou said, "The evidence is on Mo Li." Huang Keming had planned to make a copy of the account book, but unfortunately he was arrested again before he finished.

Therefore, Mo Chou does not have a copy on her.

The only one I can count on now is Mo Li.

Mo Li looked embarrassed and said, "Your Majesty, I have hidden the account book in a safe place and I don't plan to take it out yet."

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "Since that's the case, I will wait and see for a while. It won't be too late to deal with these corrupt officials after the Yunzhou case is thoroughly investigated."

Ji Xiaolan said, "This is the only way now."

Emperor Gai Zhang said: "Mochou, you can let us go now."

Mo Chou said, "That's enough." and immediately released the person.

The four of them left quickly.

He Shen had not gone far when he said, "Your Majesty, Mo Li is full of lies. I don't think his words are credible. Perhaps that account book is completely fictitious and he is deceiving us."

Emperor Gai Zhang nodded and said, "Heshen, what you said makes sense."

Mo Li said, "That makes no sense. It's sheer nonsense. My Lord, when have I ever lied to the Emperor? Besides, this is a crime of deceiving the Emperor, punishable by death. I'm not that brave to joke with my own life."

Ji Xiaolan always stood by Mo Li and spoke for him, "Your Majesty, I guarantee with my life that the account book really exists and is not a lie made up by Mo Li."

He Shen sneered and said, "He told me before that the half-gold lock was made by Lin Xiaoquan. But there is no such person as Lin Xiaoquan. This shows that Qiqi is a liar and a liar. He cannot be trusted."

Emperor Gai Zhang was a little annoyed by He Shen's long-winded talk and said, "Alright, He Shen, stop talking. I believe in Li Qiye."

Mo Li said, "Your Majesty is right. Let's not discuss this anymore. Now that the rain has stopped, let's find an inn to stay in first."

Ji Xiaolan nodded and said, "Master Mo is right."

The four of them randomly found an inn. Mo Li was the first to walk in. The waiter asked, "Are you guests here for a quick stop or to stay overnight?"

Mo Li said, "We're staying here both overnight and as a hotel guest. Please give us four rooms."

The shopkeeper took a look at the record and said, "My apologies, gentlemen, but our shop is completely full. There isn't a single vacant room left."

Mo Li thought to himself how unlucky it was that the restaurant was fully booked.

At this time it suddenly started raining again.

He thought that he couldn't just live on the streets, so he had to find a way.

He looked at He Shen, knowing that he was rich, and said, "Sir He, the shopkeeper said there are no rooms available. What do you think we should do?"

He Shen walked up to the counter and whispered to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, please do me a favor. I will pay double the price to rent your inn. Please tell the guests to stay in another inn."

The shopkeeper said, "This...I'm afraid it's difficult to handle."

He Shen immediately gave the shopkeeper a silver ingot and said, "Please give it a try. If it succeeds, there will be a reward."

The shopkeeper weighed the silver and found it heavy, at least ten taels. He was overjoyed and said, "Thank you for the reward, sir. I will do my best to fulfill your request."

After saying this, he immediately asked the waiter to ask the guests to leave.

The waiter knocked on the door of each room and explained the situation. The guests had no complaints and immediately packed up and left.

Heshen distributed the silver to the waiter and the shopkeeper. The two were very happy and thanked him repeatedly.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Heshen also ordered a table of fine wine and food for Emperor Gai Zhang and others.

In this way, the four of them stayed in the inn.

At night, Mo Li tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, and kept thinking about the account book.

Just now in front of Heshen, Mo Li deliberately said that the account books were hidden in a safe place, but in fact he was lying. The account books were indeed hidden in a safe place, but not anywhere else, but on him.

Ever since he got the account book from Du Xiaoyue, Mo Li sewed it into his clothes and wore it on his body, not even taking it off when sleeping.

Because he knew very well that once the account books were lost, the consequences would be disastrous, and the Yunzhou case would definitely become an unsolved injustice.

So, no matter what, he had to keep this account book until the day the truth came out.

He thought that even if the account book was lost, it didn't matter. He had a photographic memory and had memorized the entire account book in his mind.

As he was thinking, Mo Li fell asleep.
