Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

Chapter 174 Fire and water are incompatible

Du Xiaoyue lifted the car curtain and said, "Alas, this is a different time."

He stepped out of the sedan chair and ordered, "Remember, you should drive fast and lightly on flat and good roads, and drive steadily and slowly uphill and downhill. Even though the military situation is urgent, you must not panic. If you have anything, just listen to Master Mo behind you. Lift the sedan chair." He was about to get back into the sedan chair.

Liu Quan said: "This..."

He Shen said, "Listen to the military supervisor."

Du Xiaoyue remembered something and said, "Hey, Liu Quan, why don't you lead the way ahead? Hurry up."

Liu Quan looked embarrassed.

He Shen said: "Go, go, go..."

Liu Quan nodded.

Only then did Du Xiaoyue return to the sedan chair.

"Get the sedan chair, get the sedan chair."

Liu Quan ordered.

Four bearers lifted the sedan chair.

The team moved forward and came to a desert.

After walking for a while, Liu Quan handed the water bag to Heshen, who took a sip of the water.

The army continued to advance.

……

Emperor Gai Zhang was drinking tea when someone presented him with an urgent report. He asked, "Where did it come from?"

The man replied, "Gansu."

Emperor Gai Zhang put down the tea bowl and said, "Put it here."

The man offered it with both hands.

The emperor read out the seal, "We have passed Qinzhou, attacked Changda Qingshuiyi, and will reach Lanzhou today. He Shen is quite fast. We encountered heavy rain as soon as we entered Gansu. It has been raining for more than a month, and the roads are muddy. It has been raining for a month."

Upon hearing this, Mo Li turned around. He was writing something. Mo Li said solemnly, "That's not right, Your Majesty. Gansu Province reports that the drought is severe this year, leaving thousands of miles of barren land. I just read the memorial. The Gansu Provincial Administration Commissioner requested that the grain collection be kept open this year in the name of self-rescue from the drought."

The Emperor said, "It's strange. These two memorials arrived at the same time. Heshen said it was raining everywhere, while Gansu said it was suffering from a severe drought. Isn't this like water and fire are incompatible?"

Mo Li said, "I think either Gansu's report is false or Heshen's report is false."

The Emperor said, "Leave this reply for now and deal with other things first."

Mo Li said, "As you wish."

The Emperor opened a memorial, read it through, and said, "Oh, it's really raining."

Mo Li turned around and asked, "How did the emperor know this?"

The Emperor said, "A secret memorial. It was sent by the military supervisor Xiaoyue."

Upon hearing this, Mo Li said in surprise, "Xiao... Xiao Yue can fold a letter now? She... Oh, yes, yes. She can even write the word 'rain'."

Emperor Gai Zhang said: "Hey, it's not two words, it's dozens of words."

Mo Li was surprised and said, "Just a few dozen words. Can the Emperor understand it?"

The Emperor of Stamps said with a look that said, "Don't you dare disbelieve me?" "It's very clear. You can see it at a glance. Take a look."

Mo Li smiled and nodded, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty," and walked over.

He took the memorial, read it, and said, "It's incredible, Your Majesty. I taught Xiaoyue to read, and she learned two words in three days, but by the fourth day she had forgotten all of them."

Emperor Gai Zhang said: "That is because the adults teach better than you."

Mo Li said, "Yes, I am lazy too. If she wants to learn, then she can learn. If she doesn't want to learn, then forget it."

Emperor Gai Zhang smiled and said, "If the teaching is not strict, it is the teacher's laziness."

Mo Li said, "Your Majesty's teachings are absolutely correct."

"Mo Li," Emperor Gai Zhang stood up and said as he walked, "Gansu officials haven't mentioned a word about rain, only reports of drought. It seems there's something fishy going on with the grain collection. These scoundrels are blinded by gold. I originally thought that with Heshen gone, they would be more restrained. But I didn't expect them to be so greedy now, to the point where they only care about money and not their lives."

Mo Li listened quietly.

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "Mo Li."

Mo Li replied, "I am here."

"Keep a close eye on him. Wang Tingzan from the Gansu Provincial Government has been transferred to you. He's a man of courage but no strategy, and he's indecisive. He's much easier to deal with than Wang Danwang. Keep a close eye on him and uncover the long list of corrupt officials behind him."

Mo Li said, "I will do it right away, but... Your Majesty, I am worried that Wang Danwang and Wang Tingzan are in cahoots with each other, and their statements are intertwined. This will make it difficult to investigate."
