Chen Huizu said, "That's true. At the time, some people said that the gold was of low quality and damp, so it would be better to replace it with silver, which would be easier to escort to Beijing and more practical..."

Mo Li interrupted and asked, "Whose idea was this?"

He Shen glanced at him, then looked at Chen Huizu and said, "Yes, who came up with this idea?"

Chen Huizu said, "He was one of my advisors. He told Wang to stop, but he has since fled for fear of being punished."

Mo Li looked at him and said, "You haven't silenced him yet, have you?"

"What?" Chen Huizu suddenly stood up.

Heshen said, "Don't be anxious, brother, sit down, sit down." He helped Chen Huizu sit down.

Chen Huizu sat down.

He Shen said: "Go on, go on."

Chen Huizu said, "Okay, there's another reason. When the house was searched, Wang Danwang pleaded with me for mercy. He said there was too much gold and he was afraid others would see it and increase his sentence. He asked me to exchange it for silver at the current market price, saying it would be more convenient in the future. I was thinking about serving as an official in the same province, so I did it."

Mo Li opened his mouth wide, looked at him, and said, "There is no evidence to prove it."

Chen Huizu looked at Mo Li angrily.

He Shen hurriedly comforted him, saying, "Brother Chen, let's stop here for today. Go back and think about it carefully. If you can remember anything, please tell us in time."

He stood up and walked over to Chen Huizu, saying, "What's true can't be false, and what's false can't be true. Don't worry, I'll speak for you in front of the emperor. That's all for today, please."

Chen Huizu glared at Mo Li and quickly left the scene.

Heshen watched him leave, and after making sure he was far away, he said, "See? He's holding on. You have something to say, and he has something to say. You can't get anything out of him." After saying that, he sat down again.

Mo Li tapped his shoes with his pipe, shook off the ash, and placed the pipe on the table. He said, "Actually, I've found out everything. My Lord, you know it all."

He Shen looked at him, crossed his legs, and said, "Master Mo, you are such a hateful person."

Mo Li leaned on the table and said, "Why can't he hate Master He?"

He Shen said: "Of course, he believes that you are the one who leaked this."

Mo Li said, "Then who tipped him off about this?"

Heshen was stunned and said, "What do you mean?" Then he smiled.

Mo Li said, "I can't laugh."

After saying that, he stood up and took two steps forward. "That's it, sir. Like you said a few days ago, don't be embarrassed. Send him to the guillotine and be done with it."

He Shen said: "That won't work. There is still one more procedure missing."

Mo Li glanced at him and said, "You still want to protect me."

Heshen stood up, walked up to Mo Li and said, "Human life is of paramount importance. Look at that old man, he looks so pitiful. Save him if you can." After saying that, he shook his head.

Mo Li pointed at Heshen and smiled, saying, "Okay, then I'd like to see you." He put the pipe on his shoulder and walked forward.

……

Stamp the emperor's presence.

"Your Majesty, the copy of the seized inventory brought to Wang Zhan's residence is very different from the fake inventory created by Chen Huizu. The original inventory contains 4,748 taels of gold leaves and gold ingots, while the fake inventory contains not a single tael. It's obvious that someone switched them."

Mo Li reported, “Also, hundreds of rare and precious antiques have disappeared.”

Emperor Gai Zhang snorted coldly and said angrily, "How audacious! How dare you deceive the emperor and enrich yourself? Are you tired of living?"

Then he sat down and asked, "Is there any problem with this king standing still?"

Mo Li said, “If he had a problem, he wouldn’t have secretly copied the records and hidden them beforehand.”
