Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

Yancheng County Government Office.

The innkeeper came over and knocked on the door. "Open the door, open the door, open the door..."

After a while, when no one opened the door, he cursed, "You're sleeping like a dead pig! Open the door!"

The shopkeeper had no choice but to pick up the drumstick and beat the drum.

Boom, boom, boom...

The lights in the room immediately lit up. A fat man came out of the door while getting dressed and asked, "Who's beating the drum?"

At this time, someone responded: "Uncle has something urgent to see you."

One woman said: "That's disgusting."

The fat man said, "Let him in."

The shopkeeper immediately came in and said, "Brother-in-law."

The fat man said, "Sixth Brother, you are too unreasonable. What are you making noises for in the middle of the night? Did your sister ask you to catch someone in adultery?"

The shopkeeper said, "If it's not a big deal, I wouldn't dare to bother you, my brother-in-law."

The fat man was completely bewildered. "What a big deal? What big deal is there in Yancheng? Here, we only have trivial matters."

The shopkeeper took out the paper that had been stamped with the official seal and said, "Brother-in-law, please take a look."

The fat man suddenly showed a look of horror and muttered, "Heshen..." His hand holding the paper was shaking a little.

The woman said, "Master, no matter how deep the river or the sea is, it's late at night and everyone is tired."

The fat man pushed the woman away and said, "Go, go... Come on, prepare the sedan chair. I want to go to the prefectural government office."

……

On the table, Heshen's official letter was compared with the paper with the seal on it.

"This is the same seal as the official letter from the Prime Minister."

The prefect of Yancheng said.

The master said, "This seal cannot be fake. The Lord He is really here."

Everyone said, "It's great that Master He is here."

The prefect of Yancheng said, "Well, Lord He is our supporter. This time we must show our respect to him."

The fat man said, "I have long admired your name, Lord He, but have never been able to meet you. It is such a pity. Today my wish is finally coming true."

The prefect of Yancheng stroked his beard and said, "I have never met Lord He in all these years. Come, all civil and military officials of the prefecture and county, come to the inn to welcome you immediately."

The master said: "Wait a minute, sir..."

The fat man said, "Sir, if another government office takes you away first, we will suffer a great loss." After saying that, he clapped his hands.

The prefect of Yancheng said, "Yes, Lord He is the emperor's confidant. The last time Lord He went to Shandong, the governor was a little slow in his work and was demoted soon after."

The lawyer said, "We cannot neglect the Lord. Now he is on a secret visit, wearing casual clothes and staying at the inn. What is the meaning of this?"

Everyone nodded.

The lawyer continued, "This shows that Master He doesn't like officials to disturb him."

The prefect of Yancheng said, "Master, your words make sense. The Nine-Gate Admiral is well-known for his flattery of Lord He. But Lord He found him annoying, so he sent him to Xinjiang to plant trees."

The fat man said, "It's not right to go, and it's not right not to go. I'm almost confused."

The prefect of Yancheng said, "Everyone, calm down and don't be anxious. Listen to my advice." After saying that, he pointed with his finger.

The lawyer said, "Master Fan is right. It's not right to go, and it's not right not to go. The best strategy is to send someone to find out the details, test their strength, and try to get close to them."

The prefect of Yancheng said, "Datong, go there."

It turns out that the fat man's name is Fan Datong.

Fan Datong looked a little flustered and said, "Am I alone?"

The official next to him said, "Master Fan, I will go with you."

The prefect of Yancheng said, "Okay, one civil and one military, this way I feel more at ease." After saying this, he smiled proudly.

……

A certain restaurant.

Two women were playing the pipa.

The Fourteenth Prince and the Fourth Young Lady were sitting together having breakfast.

The fourth girl said, "Your Majesty, please eat more."

The Fourteenth Prince said, "I am going to die of old age in Yunzhou in this life. Are you worried that I won't have enough snacks?" Then he put down the tea bowl.

The fourth girl said, "Your Highness, in my opinion, the only way is to get the Stamped Emperor..." and then she broke the chopsticks into two pieces.

The Fourteenth Prince said, "Hey, someone is coming."

At this time, Heshen came up from downstairs, bowed and said, "Heshen greets the prince." Liu Quan followed behind him.

"Thank you for your courtesy, sir. Please come in." The Fourteenth Prince made a gesture of invitation.

The fourth girl immediately gave up her seat to Heshen.

He Shen sat down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The fourth lady immediately poured tea for He Shen and said, "Master He, please have some tea."

Heshen thanked him repeatedly.

Heshen took a sip of tea and said, "How can this kind of tea be suitable for the prince to drink? Come, come..." He ordered Liu Quan to show the tea he brought to the Fourteenth Prince.

"This is the best Longjing tea, please taste it, Your Highness," Heshen introduced.

After saying that, he looked at the fourth girl and said, "Fourth girl, thank you for your help."

Liu Quan handed the tea bowl to the fourth girl.

The fourth girl was holding a tea bowl and was about to make tea when He Shen suddenly said, "Wait a minute, fourth girl, you must ask the store to use the store's treasured mountain spring water to make tea, so that the flavor will not be lost."

The fourth girl said, "I understand," and turned and left.

The Fourteenth Prince said with interest, "Sir, you're not here for tea, are you? Why not get straight to the point?"

He Shen smiled and said, "Your Highness is a man of few words. To be honest, I came here for an antique." Then he took out the half-piece of the golden locket that he had shown Mo Li before and showed it to the Fourteenth Prince.

He Shen continued, "Your Highness, please take a look at this antique. Its origin is unknown. I would like to ask Your Highness for advice."

The Fourteenth Prince said, "My Lord, this is..."

He Shen said, "This half of the golden lock is related to the emperor's life experience. Your Highness, I dare to ask, is the emperor a Han Chinese?"

The Fourteenth Prince whispered, "The Emperor is the biological son of the late Emperor Yongzheng. How can we question that?"

"But there are rumors everywhere in the palace, and the emperor is bound to be shaken," said Heshen.

The Fourteenth Prince said, "I am the Emperor's uncle. How could I not know the Emperor's identity?"

He Shen said, "Your Highness is indeed the prince of the Great Xuan Kingdom. But this was said by the wet nurse herself. Your Majesty has no choice but to believe it."

The Fourteenth Prince said, "This is completely fabricated. How could this nurse say such a thing? It's really strange."

He Shen said, "Look, the Emperor has risked his life alone to investigate this matter, traveling incognito to Yancheng. If anything were to happen to him, the Great Xuan Nation would be in imminent danger."

The Fourteenth Prince said, "Your Excellency failed to stop the Emperor from going to Yancheng. You have failed in your duty."

He Shen said: "The prince is right to blame, but the emperor is a filial person. She will search for her biological mother to the ends of the earth. How can we stop her?"

The Fourteenth Prince said, "Since we were unable to prevent it beforehand, we will recover the Emperor afterwards."

He Shen shook his head gently, "If the emperor can't find his biological mother, he won't come back."
