Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

"Traces of aging? Could it be... that this painting is newly painted?" Liu Yong guessed.

"Look at the ink marks on it, it's obviously newly drawn. We have been fooled by Mo Li again. Let's go find him." After saying this, Emperor Gai Zhang stood up.

"Your Majesty, it's probably not appropriate to go now. Let's talk about it tomorrow." Liu Yong thought that Mo Li and Du Xiaoyue were being intimate, and it would be obviously inappropriate for him and the emperor to disturb them.

"Then I'll bear with it." Emperor Gai Zhang sat down again and said.

……

At night, a carriage was traveling on the busy street. Two people were sitting in the carriage. They were the fourth lady and the fourteenth prince.

As soon as the carriage arrived at the city gate, a group of soldiers came and surrounded the carriage.

The fourth girl got off the carriage and said, "The Fourteenth Prince is here, who dares to be rude?"

The leader said, "The Fourteenth Prince is not allowed to leave Yunzhou."

The fourth girl asked, "Who is so bold as to stop the prince's carriage?"

The leader said, "Your Majesty."

The Fourth Lady and the Fourteenth Prince were both startled and said in unison, "Your Majesty?"

The leader said, "The imperial edict is as heavy as a mountain. Please go back, Fourteenth Prince."

The fourth lady said, "Your Highness, you have seen it all. Emperor Gai Zhang treats you with courtesy on the surface, but secretly he has you under house arrest in Yunzhou. This is no different from what Emperor Yongzheng did."

The Fourteenth Prince said, "Fourth Miss, be careful with your words. I think Emperor Gai Zhang must have his reasons for doing this."

The fourth girl said, "I'm not afraid of him. If you have the guts, kill me." After saying that, she looked at the officers and soldiers.

The Fourteenth Prince said seriously, "Fourth Miss, please stop talking nonsense. Let's go back."

The fourth girl got on the carriage with a look of resentment, and the carriage returned the same way.

……

"Liu Yong, when I come to Yancheng, there will definitely be people who will use the Fourteenth Prince to stir up trouble, so I have issued an edict strictly forbidding the Fourteenth Prince to leave Yunzhou." Emperor Gai Zhang shook his folding fan.

"I'm afraid that the Fourteenth Prince may not be able to understand the emperor's painstaking efforts. He must think that you are like Emperor Yongzheng and have placed him under house arrest in Yunzhou." Liu Yong said.

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "I can't care less. Since I ascended the throne, every policy I've implemented has been met with criticism from the veteran officials. Has any of them been implemented smoothly?"

Liu Yong said: "Sometimes I feel that being an emperor is also quite difficult."

Emperor Gai Zhang waved his folding fan and said, "If there's a corrupt official in the world, it's the emperor's fault. If a commoner suffers, it's the emperor's fault. The so-called Son of Heaven is the son of the world. How can I not be terrified and fearful?"

After saying that, he opened a bundle.

There was a pile of memorials inside.

Emperor Gai Zhang said: "After I left the capital, I ordered them to send all the memorials to Yunzhou by fast horses, and not a single one should be missed." After that, he began to review the memorials.

On Mo Li's side, the battle with Du Xiaoyue ended.

The two of them walked out of the room. Du Xiaoyue said, "Brother Li, why is there no movement at all?"

Mo Li said, “Wait a little longer.”

The two waited for a while. Mo Li said, "Xiao Yue, if I throw something down later, you'll start swearing."

"I understand, Brother Li." Du Xiaoyue put her face on Mo Li's shoulder.

At this time, the waiter was busy downstairs.

Mo Li said softly, "Here it comes." Then he threw the bag in his hand down, hitting the waiter on the head.

"Ouch! Who is blind? Is your eye on your butt?"

The waiter cursed and glanced at the things on the ground.

"Hey, Madam, why did you throw my things?" Mo Li said in pretended anxiety.

He and Du Xiaoyue are now pretending to be a couple again.

"I'm just throwing it away, what can you do to me?" Du Xiaoyue said and twisted Mo Li's ear.

Mo Li came to the railing, looked down, and asked, "Waiter, have you seen my stuff?"

The waiter had already hidden the things behind him and said, "I didn't see it."

At this time, Du Xiaoyue threw things out, and some of them fell down. The waiter saw that something was wrong and ran away immediately.

Mo Li and Du Xiaoyue pretended to quarrel in the room, and the tea bowls were broken all over the floor.

The waiter took the things to the shopkeeper, and they opened the bundle. The waiter said, "Such a big seal."

The shopkeeper said, "This seal is upside down. Waiter, bring me some paper."

The waiter immediately went to get a piece of paper.

The shopkeeper pressed the seal against the paper, then lifted it up and examined it carefully. The waiter quickly asked, "Shopkeeper, what kind of seal is this?"

"The...Grand...Minister...of...Military...States...He...Shen." The shopkeeper's face showed fear.

……

Mo Li was smoking a cigarette while Du Xiaoyue waited anxiously beside him. She said, "Brother Li, why hasn't the shopkeeper come up yet?"

"Wait a little longer." Mo Li knew that the shopkeeper would come up soon after seeing the seal, so he looked very confident.

Then there was a knock on the door.

Mo Li asked, "Who is it?"

"I." said the shopkeeper.

"The voice sounds familiar. Are you the shopkeeper?" Mo Li pretended to ask.

"Yes, it's me." said the shopkeeper.

"Come in." Mo Li said.

The shopkeeper immediately opened the door and walked in, holding a bundle in his hand.

The shopkeeper said, "Sir, everything is here, nothing is missing, right?" Then he put the bundle on the table.

Qi Qi immediately said seriously, "You haven't opened this thing yet, have you?"

The innkeeper's voice trembled as he said, "No, sir, you know the rules of this inn. We can't touch the guests' things."

Mo Li said: "Then what do you say I do?"

The shopkeeper said, "You look like a wealthy man, so you are a businessman."

"Right, right, right..." Mo Li smiled and nodded. He thought to himself, "Looks like you already know my identity. Now things will be easy."

Du Xiaoyue said, "Boss, we smashed so many of your things, do we have to pay for it?"

The shopkeeper said, "No need to compensate. It was a good smash, a wonderful smash, and a great smash." He immediately ordered the waiter to bring a new tea bowl.

Mo Li said, "Okay, boss, call Ziliang." After saying that, he patted the other person's shoulder.

The shopkeeper said, "Sir, do you like these?"

Mo Li said, "It's okay, I'll just use it."

The shopkeeper was so frightened that sweat broke out on his forehead. He wiped his sweat with his hand and said, "Master, please bear with me. I will bring you supper soon."

"I understand." Mo Li nodded.

"Nothing else, I'll leave first." The shopkeeper said, and left the room with two waiters.

After the three of them left, Du Xiaoyue said, "Brother Li, you're really amazing. I just saw the shopkeeper sweating profusely from shock."

"It's just a trivial skill, not worth mentioning." Mo Li said with a smile.

"Brother Li, this is not just a trivial skill. Aren't you being too modest?" Du Xiaoyue said and kissed Mo Li.
