Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

Chapter 331 Heavy Fog

The officers and soldiers outside the quarry shed were in chaos.

The laborers heard the noise and got up one after another.

Shang Rong had gotten off the carriage at some point and was standing with the central army.

"Central Army, quickly capture Hong Derui." Shang Rong ordered.

"Come here." Zhongjun led a few people into the shed and glanced at everyone present.

He found an empty seat, pointed to the person next to him, and asked, "Tell me, where is Hong Derui?"

The man said, "I don't know."

The middle general drew his sword, said, "I don't know?" and then he chopped the man down with his sword.

He grabbed another man by the collar and asked, "Tell me, where is Hong Derui?"

The man's face was full of fear, and he said in a trembling voice: "Maybe... maybe he went to the toilet." Zhongjun punched him, walked out of the shed and came in front of Shang Rong.

"Sir, the criminal is missing. He said he just went to the toilet." The central army said to Shang Rong.

At this time, an officer shouted, "Oh no, sir, look." He pointed to the corpse on the ground.

Shang Rong touched the neck of the corpse and said, "He just died and hasn't gone far. Search for me."

As soon as he finished speaking, a thick fog suddenly came, and everyone seemed to be in the clouds and mist, unable to see anything clearly.

Shang Rong said, "This is really weird. It's late at night and not even early morning, why is there such heavy fog?"

The middle army officer asked, "Sir, where are you? I can't see anything."

Shang Rong said, "I'm right in front of you." Then he patted Zhongjun's shoulder.

The middle army officer asked, "Sir, should we continue the search?"

"We can't just sit there and wait. We have to search for them, but we have to take it slow and not be impatient. I don't believe they can escape from my grasp." Shang Rong said.

The central army immediately gave orders to everyone to search slowly.

……

Emperor Gai Zhang stood at the window, turned around, and said, "Dad is not going anywhere. I will make up for the three hundred miles of exile later. I will not go anywhere until I catch all the thieves and thieves here."

He Shen immediately flattered him, saying, "Father, you're right. It resonates deeply with me. As the saying goes, all under heaven belongs to the king. All the people in the world are his subjects. Besides, today at the market, you... you... Old Four, didn't you also suffer the humiliation of being treated like a smelly melon peel?"

Mo Li said, "Those smelly melon and vegetable peels bounced back before they even landed on me." He knew that this was the magic of the Emperor.

He Shen said, "Don't be complacent. You are lucky. You have good people protecting you in secret. Mo... Fourth Brother, even the common people cannot sit idly by when things like this happen, let alone the monarch. You are right. We are not going anywhere. We should catch the thief right here."

Mo Li said: "What you said makes sense, but..."

Ji Xiaolan added: "Life is like playing Go. When faced with a decision, it comes down to four words: big, small, and how much."

Mo Li said: "Yes, that's exactly what I wanted to say."

He walked up to the Emperor and continued, "Although the thief is evil, he is a minor one after all. We can just issue an order to the local officials to handle it. If the local officials can't handle it, they will be dismissed and investigated. Why should you, the king of a country, bother to catch the thief?"

Then he came to Heshen and said to him, "Is it just for the humiliation of those smelly melons and vegetable leaves?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Gai Zhang laughed heartily and said, "Mo Li, although your last name is Mo... you don't like to be silent. A few days ago, you were telling Dad that kindness is not divided by size, and today you're arguing with Dad about size again. Dad has no interest in smelly melon and vegetable peels today."
