Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

"Oh my god, I'm scared to death."

An officer was talking to himself. He looked around and noticed the Emperor. He walked over and asked, "Sir, you know there are tens of thousands of people here, and only a few of us are blocking the entrance to the yamen. If we really anger those barefoot old men, they'll beat us to a pulp with their hoes. Isn't that scary?"

Emperor Gai Zhang asked, "Is the granary in the provincial capital really empty?"

The officer looked him up and down and said, "It seems you are a big businessman."

Emperor Gai Zhang coughed twice and said, "It's a small business."

The officer sat down, sighed, and said, "You're not in the officialdom, so you don't know how shady this is. The warehouse was originally filled to the brim with grain. Even if we didn't harvest a single grain this year, we could still ship the old grain north and hand it over to the emperor with more than enough. But within a day or two, it's all gone."

Emperor Gai Zhang asked seriously, "Where did you go?"

The officers and soldiers said, "You are not an expert. The grain merchants' warehouses are full again."

Emperor Gai Zhang nodded and said, "Let those officials sell it."

The officer sighed and said, "We, the runners at the yamen, don't know about that. Officials spend a lot of money anyway, and the little salary from the court is definitely not enough."

Emperor Gai Zhang knocked on the table with his folded folding fan and said, "Don't the prefecture and the state know about this?"

The officer said, "Everyone who doesn't know this can come here and get some money."

At this time, Mo Li walked in and stood in front of everyone.

The officer continued, "I see you know nothing. Don't try to get involved in officialdom. Otherwise, you'll get yourself into trouble."

Mo Li found a chair and sat in front of the officer. He bowed and said, "Sir, I would like to ask you something."

The officers and soldiers nodded.

Mo Li continued, "The common people are making such a fuss, why don't the officials do anything about it?"

The officers and soldiers said, "How can we manage it? There was a commotion last year, but after much commotion, it was finally dropped."

Mo Li nodded and asked, "What does the Governor do?"

The officer said, "The Governor? He's the one who's behind this whole thing, and he's more aggressive than anyone else in his demands for money. To be honest, I even transported bribes for the Governor's Office some time ago."

Emperor Gai Zhang smiled when he heard this and said, "I'll let you know this secret too."

The officer said, "Look at what you said. You look down on me, don't you?"

Mo Li said, "You must be bragging. I don't believe it."

The officer said, "Boasting? To tell you the truth, I didn't know about it at first, but the silver was so much that it sank the boat. We had no choice but to send people to salvage it, and that's when the truth was revealed. It was a big fuss, so who didn't know about it? So the Governor-General turned a blind eye to the matter of resisting the imperial grain. He pretended not to know, and he took advantage of others."

The Emperor said solemnly, "Do you dare to sign your name to prove what you just said?"

The officer was truly shocked. He stood up and said, "Are you an official? Are you here incognito?"

Du Xiaoyue said, "What do you think?"

"Uh, I'm not very good at seeing. I have something to do, so I'll leave first." After the soldier said this, he picked up his hat and turned to leave.

The boss shouted, "My tea money, my tea money has not been paid yet."

Mo Li quickly said, "Boss, we paid for his tea."

The Emperor threw his folding fan on the table and shouted, "Deliver the decree."

Du Xiaoyue quickly stood up, covered his mouth, and said, "Mr. Huang, you want writing paper, right?"
