Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

Mo Li continued, "Come, please give us the emperor's secret decree." Immediately, soldiers and officers brought the emperor's secret decree.

Mo Li took it, unfolded the secret decree, and said, "Wang Tingzan, accept the decree."

Wang Tingzan knelt down.

Mo Limian said, "Order Mo Li to enter Gansu and arrest Wang Tingzan. Investigate the grain supervision fraud case with all your strength. Anyone who resists will be killed on the spot." After saying this, he closed the secret decree.

"How about it, Wang Tingzan, did you hear it clearly?" Mo Li had a blank expression.

Wang Tingzan's face showed fear.

The officers and soldiers came over, drew their swords, and said, "Anyone who disobeys my order will be killed without mercy."

Wang Tingzan kowtowed to Mo Li and said, "I will obey your orders and will be at your disposal, Lord Mo."

Mo Li squatted down and said, "Wang Tingzan, the emperor's self-torture trick was all arranged to save you."

Wang Tingzan nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

Mo Li said, "If you fully cooperate with me, I will guarantee your survival. If you lose your way and refuse to return, I will leave you dead without a burial place."

Wang Tingzan kowtowed to Mo Li again and said, "It's all thanks to Lord Mo for saving my life."

Mo Li stood up and said, "Alright, get up."

Wang Tingzan said "Thank you, Lord Mo" and stood up.

oops.

Mo Li sighed and said, "Our strategy for this drama is to tighten up inside and loosen up outside. Now that we're in Gansu, Lord Wang should show off his authority. But I have a question for you: where are the historical records of Gansu's grain supervision hidden now?"

Wang Tingzan came over and said, "Hide behind my villa."

Mo Li said, "Are you serious?"

Wang Tingzan said seriously, "At this critical moment, I dare not lie."

"Alright," Mo Li ordered. "Listen, set off as quickly as possible. After arriving in Lanzhou, head straight to Wang Tingzan's villa. Let's go."

Everyone walked towards Lanzhou.

……

Master Shen came in at the invitation of Wang Danwang.

Wang Danwang asked, "Is there still no news from Gansu?"

Master Shen said, "Your Excellency, there is no news."

Wang Danwang looked suspicious and said, "According to the date, Wang Tingzan should be here soon...and where's the young lady?"

Master Shen said, "Miss Su is isolated in the inner courtyard of the palace and is guarded by the imperial guards. I have tried several times but failed to get close to her." He made various gestures while speaking.

Wang Danwang said, "No, I wonder if we have fallen into the emperor's trap."

Master Shen was slightly surprised when he heard this and said, "Your Excellency is saying that Mo Li..."

Wang Danwang suddenly stood up and said, "I think this is probably a self-torture trick."

After saying this, he started walking. "Mo Li's arrival in Gansu must have been accompanied by a secret order from the Emperor. If that's the case, then this is bad news. Wang Tingzan, a man without any sense of self, is just sitting there, being manipulated by others."

Master Shen said, "Unless you go to Lanzhou in person. Gansu is now under the control of Heshen, but Heshen loves money like his life. If you can tickle his sore spot, there will be no problem in passing this test."

Wang Danwang said, "But the emperor is staying in Hangzhou. How can I leave?"

Master Shen said, "Everything depends on human effort. If anything were to happen to your family, would the Emperor still stop you from fulfilling your filial duties?"

Wang Danwang said, "You mean..."

Master Shen teased, "A man of small mind is not a gentleman, and a man without viciousness is not a man."

Wang Danwang fell into deep thought.

……

The little bird hopped back and forth in the cage.

There is another one on the table.

Wang Danwang's father was playing with the bird with a leaf.

Wang Danwang and Master Shen walked in. Wang Danwang bowed and said, "Greetings, father."

The king's father asked, "Why are you free today?"
