day.

The officers and soldiers moved everything out of the house and searched through all the drawers and cabinets.

He Shen watched from the side and asked, "What have you found?"

One officer replied, "We found nothing."

He Shen said, "Forget it, don't look for him anymore. Take my letter and ask Wang Tingzan to come here. I want to ask him face to face what secrets are hidden in this villa."

……

At the same time, in the court, Mo Li interrogated Wang Tingzan.

Also serving on the jury were Mo Chou and Du Xiaoyue.

Wang Tingzan sat on the chair, waiting to be questioned.

Mo Li asked, "Wang Tingzan, who else are the officials from Gansu Province involved in this grain supervision matter?"

Wang Tingzan replied, "Sir, I have almost finished explaining everything."

Mo Li said, "Almost done? Think about it later."

Wang Tingzan thought for a moment and said, "I remember now. There's also Zhang Jingfa, the prefect of Wuwei. He's the most greedy person. He's obviously uneducated, but he loves to pretend to be cultured. He's in Lanzhou right now."

Mo Li said, “Excellent.”

He said to the two girls beside him, "Xiaoyue, go and ask this Zhang Jingfa to come here in the name of Lord Wang."

Du Xiaoyue clasped his fists and said, "Understood, sir." Then he turned and left.

Mo Li looked at Wang Tingzan and asked, "Anything else?"

Wang Tingzan stammered, "Sir, there really is none left."

Haha… Mo Li laughed, stood up, walked over to Wang Tingzan, and said, "Wang Tingzan, you've been talking for a long time, naming so many people, all of whom are lower-ranking than you. Don't tell me those higher-ranking officials have ever asked you for money? Could it be that this Gansu grain supervision fraud case was orchestrated by you, Wang Tingzan?"

Wang Tingzan stammered again, "Sir..."

Mo Li approached Wang Tingzan and said, "Don't be so complacent as to think that you'll be safe just because someone outside is backing you up. Humph, let me tell you, the Emperor is furious and has ordered a thorough investigation. No one can save you."

At this time, an officer came in, saluted and said, "Greetings, Your Excellency."

Mo Li asked, "What's the matter?"

The officer said, "Master He sent someone to say that he wants to discuss something with Master Wang."

Mo Li uttered an "oh" and said to Wang Tingzan, "Wang Tingzan, the master is probably looking for you to ask about the account book. How do you answer?"

Wang Tingzan said, "If Your Excellency asks me anything, I will tell you the truth."

Mo Li said, "Then I think it's better for you not to go."

Wang Tingzan stood up and said, "Master Mo, Master He is the imperial envoy. How dare I not go when the imperial envoy summons me? Even if I don't go, if Master He comes to me, can I still hide?"

Mo Li said: "That makes sense."

At this time, Mo Chou said, "Sir, sir."

Mo Li walked in front of Mo Chou.

Mo Chou said, "I have a place where I guarantee He Shen won't dare go."

Mo Li said, "Are you talking about Jin Dayanpai's residence?"

Mo Chou said, "Not bad."

Mo Li sat down again and said to the soldier who reported the news, "Go and tell Lord He that Master Jin has invited Master Wang to his residence and that he won't be back for the time being. If there's anything urgent, have him go to the Jin residence to look for him."

The soldier who reported the news saluted and said, "Yes," and then withdrew.

As soon as the man left, Mo Li said to Mo Chou, "Mochou, keep an eye on Wang Tingzan for me. Don't let him leave. Xiaoyue and I are going to the Jin Mansion to meet Master Jin. I want to compete with him to see whose pipe is bigger."

Mo Chou clasped his fists and said, "Yes, Mo Chou obeys."
