Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

Mo Li said, “That means the accounts were handled solely by Lord Wang.”

Wang Tingzan didn't know how to answer and hesitated.

Seeing that he didn't comment, Mo Li said, "Then you must know the origin of this silver."

Wang Tingzan heard this and stammered, "Yes, yes, if I think about it, I can remember some of it."

Mo Li laughed heartily and said, "Now I can report back. Now I can report back."

Wang Tingzan said, "Master Mo, you have worked hard."

Mo Li said, "Thank you for your hard work, Lord Wang."

Wang Tingzan said: "No, Master Mo, you have worked hard."

Mo Li waved his folding fan and said with a smile, "Master Wang has worked hard. We...we haven't had it easy."

Wang Tingzan said yes repeatedly.

Mo Li smiled and said, "As someone who manages and monitors grain production, it's inevitable that there will be instances of deceiving superiors and subordinates, making false reports, and embezzling money for personal gain."

Wang Tingzan said yes for a few times, then he remembered something was wrong, and after a pause, he said, "No?"

Mo Li said, "No?" with a smile still on his face.

He patted his folding fan with his palm and continued, "Master Wang, since you have already climbed up to the roof, I should remove the ladder."

Wang Tingzan had a look on his face that indicated something was wrong.

Mo Li said, “Come on.”

Someone immediately responded, "Yes."

Two officers walked in.

Mo Li ordered, “Sit down.”

Two officers and soldiers immediately stepped forward and grabbed Wang Tingzan. Wang Tingzan didn't understand what was going on at this time and asked, "Master Mo, what do you mean, Master Mo?"

Mo Li stood up and said, "Wang Tingzan, listen to the emperor's instructions."

Wang Tingzan immediately saluted and knelt down.

Mo Li took out a memorial and read the words written on it: "The Emperor has issued an oral order, Wang Tingzan, there are many doubts about the grain supervision matter. Your life or death depends on whether you tell the truth. Make up your own mind. I will never go back on my word. I decree this."

Wang Tingzan's face was filled with fear.

……

The city gate.

Mo Li bowed to the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "No need to be polite, Mo Li, what's going on? It looks like the crab feast I asked you to prepare is almost ready."

Mo Li smiled and said, "I'm just waiting for Your Majesty to reveal the truth."

Emperor Gai Zhang looked at Wang Danwang and said, "Wang Danwang, you have been accompanying me these days, and I am sure you have been delayed a lot in Zhejiang Province. You should go back to the palace and take care of your affairs first."

Wang Danwang nodded.

Recalling something, Emperor Gai Zhang asked, "How old is your father when he wants to celebrate his birthday?"

Wang Danwang said, "My father is eighty years old and mentally retarded."

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "I hope I can attend your father's birthday."

Wang Danwang said happily, "That is truly a blessing for my whole family."

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "Go quickly."

Wang Danwang said, "Thank you, Your Majesty," and left the scene.

……

somewhere.

Two guards stood in front of the gate.

Inside, Emperor Gai Zhang was sitting on a stone bench, and Mo Li was standing next to him, holding a document in his hand.

Mo Li said, "This is the grain supervision regulations drafted by Wang Tingzan. Your Majesty, please take a look." Then he handed the document to the Emperor with the seal.

The Emperor took it and began to read it.

Mo Li said, "No wonder the people of Gansu are suffering. It turns out they are cheating. They nominally collect grain, but actually convert it into silver."

Emperor Gai Zhang was so angry that he threw his folding fan away and said, "How audacious! They are not afraid of the silver supporting them."

He picked up his folding fan again and fanned himself with it, saying, "Was Wang Danwang the mastermind behind this? Did Wang Tingzan confess?"

Mo Li said, "After Wang Tingzan was arrested, he cried all day long, pretending to be crazy and stupid. I couldn't do anything to him."
