Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

He Shen continued, "Oh, what can I say, young lady?"

He stood up and walked to the window. "I and Heshen often roll around in the mud outside. When we get home, we really want someone... someone to talk to and wash off the stinky mud. Don't think that Heshen is a womanizer. If that were the case, it would be easy. Right now... I just want a confidante. I know that for Heshen and I, it's easy to overwhelm thousands of men. But to find one..."

He returned to his seat and sat down, "It's hard to find sincerity from a woman like Miss Su."

Su Qinglian couldn't help but smile, as beautiful as a flower.

He Shen said: "If Miss Su wants to take a step forward, I will be happy for her. If she is unwilling, I will not force her."

Su Qinglian stood up, walked to the door, turned her back to Heshen, and said, "I have come to this point and have no choice. I would like to ask for a favor from you, sir. I wonder if it will work."

He Shen stood up and walked to Su Qinglian. "As long as you don't commit treason, I will do my best to help you."

Su Qinglian asked, "Look at my father's family, concubines, maids, servants, more than a hundred people in his inner house. What crimes have they committed?"

He Shen said: "In theory, he is not guilty. According to the Daxuan law, he should be sent to the frontier area to be a slave to the armored men."

Su Qinglian took two steps and asked, "Is there no other way for you, sir?"

He Shen did the same and said, "Yes, we can divide the property and send them back to their hometowns. I can do this."

Su Qinglian turned to Heshen and said, "Master He, you have done a great thing."

He Shen laughed heartily, appearing quite heroic, and said, "Good news! Miss, have you read the recently published Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio?"

Su Qinglian nodded.

He Shen said, "The first chapter tests the City God. In front of Yama's Palace there is a couplet that reads: If you do good intentionally, you will not be rewarded. If you do evil unintentionally, you will not be punished. This is far higher than the laws of the world. It speaks directly to the human heart. Besides, good and evil are difficult to distinguish. I have intentions to do good, but Yama will not reward me. Moreover, is being sent back to my hometown a blessing? Is being exiled to the frontier a disaster? It's hard to say."

Su Qinglian said: "What the Lord said is true. Qinglian has to admire it."

Heshen said, "Thank you for your kindness, young lady. As for me, Heshen, I wonder what will happen to me in the future. When I die, I will definitely go to the eighteen levels of hell. We will talk about it when the time comes." He looked very calm.

"Sir." Su Qinglian suddenly felt a sense of empathy.

Heshen put his hand on Su Qinglian's shoulder.

At this moment, Mo Li's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Um... Lord He is really diligent. He is still trying to investigate the case so late at night." After saying this, Mo Li had already appeared in front of the two of them.

He Shen was a little disappointed, "Mo Li, why are you here?"

Mo Li took a puff of his cigarette and walked in. "Didn't the Emperor ask the two of us to supervise the trial? Since His Excellency has spared no effort, I, Mo, certainly cannot fall behind. I'm worried about you, I can't sleep at night, so I came here to see if anyone is abusing their power for personal gain or taking advantage of someone's misfortune."

He Shen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, take a look, take a good look."

Then he said to Su Qinglian, "Miss Su, see you later." He walked away from the scene.

Mo Li took a few puffs of his cigarette, then walked back and forth, saying, "Miss Su, your father's affairs are beyond human control."

After saying this, he sat down and said, "Even if you try your best, it's like a moth flying into a flame. The girl is still young, I advise you to take care of yourself."

Su Qinglian walked towards Mo Li and said as she walked, "Thank you, Lord Mo, for reminding me. I have put my life at risk to save my father."
