Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

"Please keep it." Heshen continued.

Wang Danwang took it with a look of surprise and asked, "What do you mean, sir?"

He Shen said, "Lord Wang is in need of money for his father's funeral, and I don't want to take advantage of him."

Wang Danwang said expressionlessly, "So, Your Excellency will just sit back and watch?"

He Shen shook his head, stood up, and walked away, saying, "To be honest, Lord Wang, when I left Hangzhou, the Emperor repeatedly warned me that border issues were minor, while grain supervision was a major issue, and asked me to carefully investigate the grain supervision fraud. I had thought that we were all officials in the same dynasty, and it was not easy to make a fortune in this desolate place, so I just muddled through. But who knew that the Emperor would send Mo Li here? Now he has the grain supervision accounts firmly in his hands, and I can't do anything about it. Lord Wang, you wish yourself the best."

Then he walked back to his seat and sat down.

Wang Danwang held up the one million taels of silver and said, "Gansu may be poor, but everyone from the governor down is eager to make friends with you and curry favor with you. Hasn't you heard that offering money can help you avoid disasters?"

He Shen said: "There must be a bottom line when helping others to eliminate disasters."

Wang Danwang asked, "What's the bottom line?"

He Shen said, "Don't bring disaster upon yourself, Lord Wang, don't you agree?"

Wang Danwang brought up his goddaughter again and asked, "What about my little daughter?"

He Shen said, "Your daughter is indeed extremely talented, but I am a simple man and feel inferior to her. If Lord Wang is truly interested in finding a son-in-law, I think Mo Li and your daughter are a perfect match. I am willing to be the matchmaker and help this golden marriage come together."

Wang Danwang bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Lord He. Now that things have come to this, I, Wang, can only leave it to fate and will not trouble you any further."

Heshen said, "Well, brother, you'll have to take care of yourself." He held Wang Danwang's shoulder.

Wang Danwang bowed and said, "Goodbye."

He Shen said, "I'm sorry I can't see you off."

Not long after Wang Danwang left, Heshen called Liu Quan over.

Liu Quan came over and said, "Master."

He Shen ordered: "Send someone to keep an eye on this old fellow, don't let up for a moment."

Liu Quan said yes and took the order.

As soon as Liu Quan left, He Shen sighed and said to himself, "If I had Yu, why would I have Liang? Mo Li, oh Mo Li, you've ruined another fortune for me."

……

Yuanxiang Tavern.

Wang Danwang sat with a strange man.

The waiter brought two bowls of tea and said, "Sir, please have some tea."

As soon as the waiter left, Wang Danwang said, "Ten thousand taels of silver for his head."

The man asked, "Who is so valuable?"

Wang Danwang said, "Just take the money and do the work. There's no point in asking more questions."

The man said, "I'm not the kind of robber who only cares about money and not people, and who kills and robs people."

Wang Danwang took out a stack of silver notes and said, "Okay, I'll pay you two hundred thousand taels of silver notes first."

The man reached out to take it, but Wang Danwang shook the banknote and said, "I want you to do it cleanly."

……

Mo Li walked out of Jiuguzhai with a book in his hand, reading as he walked on the street.

After walking for a while, two people appeared from nowhere and put him in a sack.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Mo Li shouted.

In fact, all of this was pretended by Mo Li. He had already made an appointment with Wu Shudu.

When he was captured later, he asked Wu Shudu to follow those people to ensure his own safety.

Soon, Mo Li was taken to a desolate place and tied to a tree trunk.

Wu Shudu used invisibility to hide nearby, keeping an eye on the bad guys to prevent Mo Li from getting into any trouble.
