Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

Chapter 338: Adding Crime to Crime

Shang Rong raised his head and said, "I, your humble servant, have something to say."

Emperor Gai Zhang looked at him and said, "What else can a dying man say? Speak."

Shang Rong said, "I am greedy and deserve death, but there is one thing I cannot help but tell you."

Emperor Gai Zhang nodded.

Shang Rong continued, "Then Mo Li, who insisted on giving the emperor's things to others, also committed the crime of deceiving the emperor."

Mo Li said angrily: "You..."

The Emperor said, "What's the proof?"

"Yes." Shang Rong took out a folding fan from his pocket. "This fan originally belonged to Miss Hong Xia. Is it an imperial item? Is it a gift from His Majesty to Mo Li? Please take a look, Your Majesty."

At this moment, in the blink of an eye, the folding fan in Shang Rong's hand disappeared.

Shang Rong was really shocked. Everyone present saw that Shang Rong was holding a folding fan in his hand just now, but the fan disappeared from his hand. They began to whisper to each other.

Shang Rong pointed at Mo Li and said, "So you are the one who performed the magic trick."

Mo Li said, "How can you say such things? When you were planning to execute Hong Derui and the other two, I was not there at all. I was always by the emperor's side. Please understand, Your Majesty."

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "Stop arguing, the two of you. That fan was fake. Someone conjured it up."

"It was transformed? Are there really gods in this world?" Shang Rong was stunned with shock.

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "I won't discuss these trivial matters with you, Mo Li."

Mo Li said, "I'm here."

"Let me see the fan on your waist." Emperor Gai Zhang said and stood up.

Mo Li took the fan out of its case, pretending to be panicked, and slowly walked towards the Emperor. He Shen saw this and snatched the fan from his hand, saying, "Take it over, take your time."

Heshen handed the fake fan to Emperor Gaizhang.

The latter took it, opened it, and laughed, saying, "It's real. Mo Li, you are really amazing. You calculated everything. You must have swapped the real imperial fan from Hong Xia. If my guess is correct, the fake one is still in Miss Hong Xia's possession."

Hong Xia immediately took out the fake imperial fan. He Shen walked over to take it, unfolded it, and saw that the fan was broken into pieces. He said, "This is called an imperial fan."

Shang Rong wondered what was going on. Why did Hong Xia have a fake imperial fan? Could it be that the opponent he had faced earlier was actually a deity? Were those three wooden figures transformed by him? It seemed he could die with peace of mind.

"Mo Li, you really treat me like a monkey. You have been holding this broken fan all the way and asking me to obey your orders. How many heads do you have?" Emperor Gai Zhang laughed in anger.

He Shen's voice trembled as he said, "Your Majesty, you have forgotten that I have reminded you many times, but you just don't believe me. Punish him and let go of your anger."

"I know this. You two can step back." Emperor Gai Zhang waved his hand. "Shang Rong."

Shang Rong shuddered, crawled in front of Emperor Gai Zhang, and said, "I am the guilty one. I am the guilty one." with a smile on his face.

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "You clearly knew that this was an imperial fan, but when Miss Hong brought it out, you still wanted to kill her to silence her."

Shang Rong was speechless.

Emperor Gai Zhang continued, “It seems that you are adding crime to crime and committing an even greater crime.”

Shang Rong was so frightened that his body shook like a sieve. He kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Wuwuwu... Your Majesty, please have mercy on me, Your Majesty, please have mercy on me, Your Majesty..."

Emperor Gai Zhang said: "I originally only wanted to kill you, but now it seems that I will kill your entire clan."
