Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

Mo Li said, "Having said that, I'm not so foolish. Your Majesty, don't you know which is more important, the country or love? The piece of paper I just mentioned is the secret order you wanted to give me. You're playing along and sending me to Gansu to make meritorious deeds."

Emperor Gai Zhang was quite satisfied and said with a smile: "Good boy, you have learned your lesson. You didn't pretend to be ignorant when you knew the truth. Here, the secret decree is ready." He took out a secret decree and placed it in front of Mo Li.

Mo Li reached out and took it.

Emperor Gai Zhang continued, "We still haven't uncovered anything about Heshen. I'm trying to figure out how to send you to Gansu without raising any eyebrows. As for the grain inspector incident, I want to make an example of him as a warning to the rest. But if the evidence isn't solid, I'm afraid it won't be convincing. Once you're in Gansu, don't worry about anything else. Just use your wisdom to identify those two kings, get to the bottom of it, and resolve the matter quickly."

Mo Li immediately bowed and said, "I obey your command."

Emperor Gai Zhang said happily: "Between the emperor and his subjects, no formalities required, no formalities required, sit down, sit down."

Mo Li sat down.

Emperor Gai Zhang suddenly noticed a set of bowls and chopsticks and asked, "Why is there an extra set of bowls and chopsticks? Are you waiting for someone?"

Mo Li said, "I am waiting for the Emperor."

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "Okay, then let me see you off." He raised his glass.

The same is true for Mo Li.

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

Mo Li said the three words "Thank you, Your Majesty" before drinking the wine.

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "I won't see you off tomorrow, but you won't be lonely. Su Qinglian just came to ask me to see you off tomorrow."

Mo Li said, "That's very good, that's very good."

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "Although Su Qinglian is intelligent, she knows nothing about officialdom. This is obviously Wang Danwang's idea. You should act according to the circumstances. This trip will be very difficult for you."

Mo Li said, "For the sake of the Great Xuan State, I will not hesitate to die. However, He Shen's investigation into the grain seizure case was not successful, and I have to take the blame for it, traveling thousands of miles. I feel... a little uneasy, Your Majesty."

The Emperor said, "Don't worry, everything has been arranged. Heshen is a slow-moving man, so he must be punished. He will suffer for it in the future."

……

On a street in West Lake.

Mo Li was wearing cloth clothes and walking with Wang Tingzan, smoking from time to time.

"Lord Mo." A familiar voice came.

The sound is like that of an oriole, extremely beautiful.

Mo Li raised his head.

Look at Su Qinglian.

Su Qinglian felt a little embarrassed and lowered her head.

Mo Li smiled and said, "Oh, Miss Su, what a coincidence."

Su Qinglian said: "It's not a coincidence, Qinglian has been waiting here for a long time."

Mo Li said "oh" and showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

Then he asked, "Miss Su, are you coming here specially to see me off?"

Su Qinglian said, "That's right."

Mo Li said, "How could this be possible? Miss Su is so arrogant. How could she be so kind to a convicted official like Mo Li?"

Su Qinglian said, "Your Majesty has already told me the second couplet that Lord Mo came up with. The Cannons on the Sea Tower are indeed more impressive and neat than mine. It seems Qinglian underestimated Lord Mo."

Mo Li laughed heartily and said, "Composing poems and couplets is just a game. It can't change the overall situation of fate. Look, young lady, even if Mo Li writes good couplets, he still can't escape the fate of being exiled to Gansu."

Su Qinglian said nervously, "Qinglian came here to tell Master Mo that you are a man of extraordinary talent. If you can combine virtue and talent, you will surely be remembered for eternity."

Mo Li burst into laughter.

Then he said, "Thank you for your guidance, Miss Su, but Miss Su, do you have any misunderstandings about me?"

"Misunderstanding?" Su Qinglian was stunned.

"That's right, Miss Su. Maybe you don't know in Zhejiang, you can go to the capital and ask whether I, Mo Li, am a person of both virtue and talent." Mo Li still kept smiling while speaking.
