Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

Zhao Qing said, "If you don't mind, Master Mo, I can help you make some wine."

Mo Li smiled and said, "I couldn't ask for more. I couldn't ask for more. Miss Zhao Qing, thank you so much for asking me out. You told me so much about the Jiangnan Imperial Examination. Go ahead and get busy."

Zhao Qing said, "Ah, I'm fine. Sir Mo, let me walk with you."

Mo Li said, "Okay, let's go." The two of them walked in a certain direction.

……

In the living room of the Governor-General's Mansion.

"Master He, please stay with me this time. Everything will be convenient for you."

The Governor-General, who was sitting on the chair, said this.

He Shen was right next to him. He put down his tea bowl and said, "Let's not talk about this matter anymore. Ah, let's not talk about it anymore. I came here just to tell you a few things about Zhao Wenlong, Zuo Shankui and the others."

The Governor said "Oh" and called out, "Please come in, both of you." Zhao Wenlong and Zuo Shankui walked in.

The two men said in unison: "Your Excellency has arrived. We are sorry for not coming to greet you. Please forgive us."

Heshen looked at them and said, "Okay, okay, I'm glad you two are here. I have something to tell you. Hello, Miss Xiaoyue." He extended his left hand in the direction of Du Xiaoyue.

The two looked at Du Xiaoyue who was sitting beside them.

He Shen continued, "She is the inspector general sent by the emperor."

They were both stunned at the same time.

He Shen continued, "Come and pay your respects. Although she is of no rank or rank now, she is our superior in terms of the matter. Come, pay your respects."

The two of them bowed to Du Xiaoyue.

Seeing this, Heshen said several "good"s.

Then he looked at the Governor, then at the other two, and said, "I came here just to say a few words to you."

He stood up and continued, "The Emperor holds this Imperial Examination very highly, and Jiangnan has always produced outstanding scholars. Therefore, you all have a heavy responsibility. You should all be impartial and select talents for the country."

The two nodded.

He Shen continued, "Well... the Emperor takes this matter very seriously, and I take it very seriously too. So if I learn of any fraud in this imperial examination, I will report it to His Majesty and show no mercy."

"He Zhongtang, this..." The Governor couldn't help but interrupt.

He Shen said angrily, "Please don't interrupt me."

Zhao Wenlong could see that Heshen was acting in front of Du Xiaoyue, so he had to cooperate with Heshen's performance. He said seriously, "Please rest assured, Master Heshen, I will do my duty conscientiously."

Zuo Shankui also echoed a few times.

He Shen said, "That's good, I'm glad to know. Actually, I also know that you are all good ministers of Daxuan. To be honest, I conducted some secret investigations with some ordinary people and scholars on the street, and haha, your reputation is quite good."

Zhao Wenlong and Zuo Shankui looked at each other. They both knew that Heshen was deliberately praising Du Xiaoyue to reassure her.

Du Xiaoyue said nothing and watched Heshen act quietly, thinking to herself, you fat guy, you want to hide this from me? No way.

He Shen continued, "Your Majesty, the country and its people depend on you, your good ministers. But do not be proud or complacent. You must continue to work hard and make further progress. There is still much to do, such as the exams, and you all have a lot to do. I will not delay you any longer. I will leave now."

After saying that, he looked at Du Xiaoyue and called her name.

Du Xiaoyue came back to her senses and looked at Heshen blankly.

He Shen said, "Miss Xiaoyue, let's go."

Du Xiaoyue said, "I'll leave now."

He Shen asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"

After thinking for a while, Du Xiaoyue said, "That's fine, let's go."

"Okay, please." Heshen made a gesture of invitation.

Du Xiaoyue walked out the door.

Zhao Wenlong said, "Let's go slowly, sir."

Heshen threw a ball of paper on the ground and followed Du Xiaoyue.
