Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning
Chapter 39 Enemies meet on a narrow road
There were two people standing in the rockery. Needless to say, they were Heshen and the Fourteenth Prince.
The Fourteenth Prince said, "Master He, is the Fourth Miss missing? Has she not returned?"
He Shen said, "Your Highness, don't worry. Yancheng is a place of trouble. The fourth lady is prejudiced against the emperor. It may be a good thing that she is not coming."
At this time, the fourth girl came over and said, "Prince, are you looking for me?"
He Shen said, "Speak of the devil! Look, Your Majesty, the fourth young lady is here!"
The Fourteenth Prince asked, "Fourth Miss, where have you been? I haven't seen you for a long time."
The fourth girl said, "Your Highness, Lord Fu and I are out hunting."
At this time, an attendant came in, saluted and said, "Your Excellency, the Governor-General of Liangjiang has an urgent letter from eight hundred miles away. It reports the flood disaster."
He Shen looked at the fourth girl, then at the fourteenth prince, and said, "Prince, this disaster relief is like putting out a fire, you see..."
The Fourteenth Prince said, "Then the Fourth Miss and I will go to Yancheng first to handle official business with the Master."
He Shen bowed and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Your Highness."
The Fourteenth Prince said, "Don't worry, my Lord. The Fourth Lady and I will be leaving soon."
He Shen said: "Okay, then I will take my leave."
"Okay, please." The Fourteenth Prince made a gesture of invitation.
……
Fu Kang'an was packing his luggage when the fourth girl came in and said, "Master Fu, are you ready? We are about to set off."
Fu Kangan said, "Almost."
"Okay, let's set off immediately." The fourth girl looked confident of winning.
Seeing her so confident, Fukang'an wanted to say something to pour cold water on her, but he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.
He wanted to tell the fourth girl that the emperor was a magician and it would be extremely difficult to kill him.
But then again, how do you know if you don’t try?
……
"Order to release 900,000 taels of silver from the inner treasury." Heshen read out.
A person sat nearby and took notes with a pen.
"Give it to the kings and ministers, assign it to the Eight Banners and the Three Banners of the Clothing Department, and order the officials to run the business. Once it's finished, use the seal." He Shen continued to read. The man said yes.
He Shen took a deep breath and muttered to himself, "This Mo Li, luring the Emperor to Yancheng, what is he up to?"
The man took out the big seal, dipped it in ink, and pressed it on the paper.
He Shen said quickly: "Send it back to the Imperial Household Department immediately."
The man suddenly noticed that something was wrong with the seal and said, "Sir."
"What? Is it such a small matter? What's so difficult about it?"
The man picked up the paper and presented it to Heshen with trembling hands, saying, "Sir, please look at this seal..."
"What's wrong with the seal? It's just covering it fine." Heshen said nonchalantly.
"No, this is Mo Li's seal." The man looked aggrieved.
"What?!" He Shen took a closer look and said, "It really is Mo Li's seal."
I thought something was wrong. Could it be that he had switched things with Mo Li?
"Is this seal real?" Heshen asked.
"It's true." The man's voice trembled.
He Shen asked, "Who keeps this seal?"
"It's a villain..." The man was a little scared.
He Shen asked, "How did it become like this?"
The man stammered, "No... My Lord, a few days ago, before the Emperor left for Yancheng, he had someone take away your seal. I think that was when Mo Li switched it."
"Yes, yes, yes, I remember now. The Emperor sent a letter asking for my seal to play with. Has this seal been used since it was delivered?"
The man said, "No, I think the emperor looked at it, and I never looked at it again, so I put it away. My lord, maybe the emperor made a mistake."
He Shen asked, "How is it wrong?"
The man said, "The Emperor put Mo Li's seal into your seal box by mistake."
He Shen shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, how could the emperor make such a mistake? No, it can't be. This is the seal of a high-ranking official. I have approved so many important matters in the court. The grain and fodder for the Western Expedition, the funds for disaster relief, I used this seal for everything. How could the emperor make a mistake? Besides, these official seals are all the same. What is there to appreciate or play with?"
At this point, He Shen suddenly thought of something and stood up with a look of fear on his face. "Could it be that the Emperor is intentionally switching positions?"
The man said, "Sir, what should we do?"
He Shen said, "Mo Li's seal is with me, and mine is with him. He is now in Yancheng, and none of the officials in Yancheng, big or small, have ever seen me."
The man said, "Sir, that Mo Li is trying to impersonate you."
He Shen sat down again and said, "Mo Li, Mo Li, you are really good."
He Shen glanced at the seal on the paper and said, "Notify Fu Kang'an to go to Yancheng as soon as possible."
"Yes." The man said and walked out.
Not long after, he came back and said, "Sir, something terrible has happened. Master Fu is missing."
"Gone? Where did he go?" Heshen was slightly surprised.
"I heard from others that he went to Yancheng," the man said.
This was exactly what Heshen wanted. He said, "I was just about to ask him to go, but I didn't expect him to go first. That's good."
……
On the street, a military officer led a group of officers and soldiers, riding tall horses, heading towards the inn where Mo Li was.
Behind him, four people were carrying a sedan chair, and Fan Datong was sitting inside it.
Soon the group stopped.
The military officer dismounted, walked to the sedan chair, and said, "Sir, this is the inn."
Fan Datong opened his mouth wide, unable to utter a word. He was terrified.
The military officer thought he was asleep, so he lifted the curtain and saw what was happening. He said, "Sir, what's wrong?"
Fan Datong said, "I don't know what's going on. My calves cramp up whenever I think about seeing Lord He. Bo Ping, go in and see Lord He first. Let me catch my breath outside."
It turns out that the military officer's name is Zhu Boping.
Zhu Boping said yes.
After saying that, he walked into the inn. Zhu Boping looked over and muttered to himself, "I couldn't find the Lord, and now the thorn in my side has come to me."
It turns out that Zhu Boping's nickname was Zhu Bopi, and he was the person who was burned by Emperor Gai Zhang's fireball a few days ago.
His injuries haven't healed yet, but he can move around freely.
He immediately ordered: "Guard all the doors, watch my gestures, and hit hard." His men obeyed the orders and left.
Zhu Boping walked up to Mo Li and Du Xiaoyue and snatched the teapot from Du Xiaoyue's hand.
Mo Li said, "Oh, it's really a narrow road for enemies to meet."
Zhu Boping said, "If the mountain doesn't move, the water will move. If the water doesn't move, the road will move. If the road doesn't move, people will move. Do you know where this place is?" Zhu Boping put down the teapot as he spoke.
Mo Li said, "Oh, I don't know. Please give me some advice, sir."
Zhu Boping said, "Let me tell you, this inn is run by our county magistrate's brother-in-law."
Mo Li said, "Oh, there's a story behind it."
