Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

Wang Danwang said, "I have made my fortune in Gansu and have many close friends there. They are all holding a public memorial service for their father. It would be unreasonable for me not to come and see him."

Heshen took a deep breath and said, "I understand. Lord Wang must be very busy, so I won't force you to stay." After saying that, he picked up the tea bowl on the round table.

Wang Danwang took out a stack of banknotes and placed them on the table.

He Shen put down the tea bowl and asked, "What is this?"

Wang Danwang said, "One million taels of silver."

He Shen said, "One million taels, that's not only enough to make ghosts turn, it's enough to make gods move. But Lord Wang, I'm not going to mince words in front of you. You're a step too late."

Wang Danwang looked puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?"

He Shen said, "That crucial account book has fallen into Mo Li's hands. He has already extended his pipe towards me. I can't do anything to help."

Wang Danwang forced a smile and said, "In that case, it's a pity that the silver will be out of your reach."

He Shen stared at the red candle on the table in a daze. After a long while, he said, "This candle is interesting today. Look, the flame doesn't flicker at all."

He took it, blew on it, and put it back without blowing it out, then said, "It's still burning brightly."

Then, looking at Wang Danwang, he said, "Master Wang, I'm sure you've heard about the Three Kingdoms period when Sun and Liu joined forces to fight against Cao. Before the Battle of Red Cliffs, young Zhou Lang and Mr. Kong Ming each wrote a word on their hands to discuss a plan to defeat Cao's army..."

Wang Danwang said, "You mean..."

He Shen said, "I didn't say anything. Oh, Lord Wang, I've defeated the Russian army this time, and I want to hold a banquet to celebrate. I think all the officials in Lanzhou, big and small, should give me face. Of course, Lord Wang doesn't have to come. On the way to the funeral, you can stop by to visit your students and old friends, like Wang Tingzan, etc., etc."

He swallowed and continued, "But this time, He Mou will definitely invite Master Mo Limo."

Wang Danwang bowed and said, "Thank you, sir."

He stood up, bowed again and said, "Goodbye."

Heshen picked up the tea bowl, touched the rim of the bowl with the lid, and put the bowl down again.

……

The cold moon is like a tooth.

In the room, officials of all ranks from Lanzhou gathered together.

The Lanzhou prefect stood up and said, "Everyone, He Zhongtang's strategic planning has crushed the rebellion in one fell swoop, relieving the court of its own troubles and freeing Gansu from the suffering of war. On behalf of the people of Lanzhou, I, the prefect, am hosting a banquet today to celebrate He Zhongtang and his soldiers' achievements."

He Shen smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Your Excellency the Prefect. Please take a seat."

The Lanzhou prefect smiled, nodded, and sat down.

Heshen said: "Everyone, the reason why we won this battle is due to the emperor's great planning and the soldiers' bloody battles. I am just borrowing the emperor's power, which is nothing. However, I am willing to offer a glass of wine to everyone here and all the soldiers. Come, drink it." He stood up, raised the glass and drank it all.

Everyone stood up and was about to drink when Liu Quan ran in and said, "Master, something bad has happened. The house of Wang Fantai of Xigu has caught fire. It's reported that it was done by a group of masked men."

He Shen said: "This must be a small group of Rakshasa bandits. I will lead my men to annihilate them immediately."

Mo Li hurriedly grabbed his hand and said, "Aiyahe Sir, don't worry. The old house is already guarded by your personal soldiers. They won't just sit there and watch."

He Shen said, "How could you forget, Lord Mo? You once told me over and over again to restrain my subordinates and not to enter without permission. I have already told my men that no one is allowed to enter the courtyard even if the sky collapses and the earth breaks apart."

Mo Li frowned and said "oh".
