Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

He Shen stood up and continued, "I was so anxious that I lost my mind just now, wasn't I?"

Mo Li wondered why you were like this and sighed.

……

Mofu.

"Brother Li, Brother Li."

Du Xiaoyue trotted in.

"came back."

Mo Li asked.

Du Xiaoyue said, "Brother Li, just as you expected, these past two days, Heshen's close associates in Zhili, Rehe, Shanxi, and Kyoto have been extremely busy, all looking for Xiumei."

Mo Li asked, "Any news?"

Du Xiaoyue shook her head slightly and said, "No."

Mo Li said, "Then you didn't write down all these people and their official positions?"

Du Xiaoyue said, "I've written it down. Here you go." and handed him a small piece of paper.

Mo Li took it, read it through, and said, "Okay, I'll go see the emperor now."

……

Mo Li handed the small letter to the Emperor of Stamps.

"Your Majesty, please look! These are the officials from various provinces who have helped Heshen search for Xiumei's whereabouts over the past few days. There are as many as twenty-seven of them near the capital alone. Your Majesty, didn't you say that there was no evidence to prove Heshen's clique-building? This list is proof."

The Emperor took it, looked through it, and said, "Are these all Heshen's close associates?"

Mo Li said, "Your Majesty is wise. He has been severely reprimanding Heshen these past few days for Xiumei's matter. This is a rare humiliation for him in recent years. If they were not his close friends, he would never have entrusted this matter to them."

Emperor Gai Zhang put down the small letter, shook his folding fan, and said, "I never thought that He Shen was so clever, like a mantis stalking a cicada. I didn't expect Mo Li to be behind him."

Mo Li smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I just had a sudden inspiration and went with the flow. This was not a deliberate plan, it was premeditated. Your Majesty is well aware."

Emperor Gai Zhang asked, "Is there any news about Xiumei?"

"No," Mo Li said, "but according to He Shen's method of searching, there will definitely be results within three days."

The Emperor said, "Tell Heshen to stop looking for Xiumei. I will fine him five thousand taels of silver. We will donate it to nunneries near the capital. It will be considered a good deed, and this matter will be over."

Mo Li said nervously, "Your Majesty, you don't want Heshen's close associates to be exposed?"

The Emperor said, "So what if it's exposed? I'm reminded of a famous quote by Zheng Banqiao, a county magistrate in Weifang, Shandong: 'It's rare to be confused, it's rare to be confused.'"

He sighed and continued, "By the way, have you told Su Qinglian about my decision?"

Mo Li said, "I told her, but she said it didn't match."

Emperor Gai Zhang said: "Since Su Qinglian can't match it, then my absolute responsibility falls on you."

Mo Li said, "Your Majesty, even if I could be right, I would not be right."

"What do you mean?" Emperor Gai Zhang was puzzled.

Mo Li said, "I want to use this as a memorial, so that the emperor and his descendants will never forget Miss Su's talent."

Hahahaha...

Upon hearing this, Emperor Gai Zhang smiled and said, "Good for you, Mo Dayanpipe, let's do this, okay."

"I'll take my leave." Mo Li said and walked out.

……

A lakeside.

Mo Li sat on a stone bench, smoking and daydreaming as he stared at the calm lake.

He suddenly remembered the absoluteness of the Emperor Gai Zhang and said to himself:

"Chickens and dogs cross the Frost Bridge, leaving plum blossoms and bamboo leaves along the way. Alas, even the wild geese leave their voices behind, but how come the beautiful plum blossoms have completely disappeared? Could it be that you, like Su Qinglian, belong to the heavens as a fairy, not in this mortal world?"

After speaking, he sighed.

At this time, Xiumei and Su Qinglian came over.

Seeing this, Mo Li was stunned and asked, "Are you a human or a ghost?"

Xiumei said, "Master Mo, of course I am a human. Recently, I have been hiding in Miss Su's room, but you didn't find me."

Mo Li said, "You didn't go escorting?"

Xiumei said, "Of course not. I have already resigned from my position as a bodyguard at Laifu Escort Agency and have dedicated myself to being my master's right-hand man."

Mo Li knew that her master was Mo Chou, and smiled, "That's good."

After saying this, he looked at Su Qinglian and asked, "Miss Su, have you thought about how to be absolute with the Emperor?"

Su Qinglian shook her head slightly and said, "Not yet. Why, Master Mo, have you thought of it?"

Mo Li gave a bitter smile and said, "Me neither."
