Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

In the cell.

Zuo Shankui said nervously, "We are imprisoned here, and Qiqihar has been collecting evidence. What should we do?"

He sat down impatiently.

Zhao Wenlong said: "This lord accompanied the emperor to the river, and I don't know if he knows what happened here."

At this time, an officer came in. It turned out that whenever there was anything, this officer would go to the prison to inform the three officials.

The officer saluted and said, "Master Zuo, Master Zhao, and Master Governor, here is a letter for you."

Zuo Shankui stood up and said, "Bring it here quickly and let me see it."

The officer said, "The letter was not written on paper. It was a verbal message."

Zhao Wenlong asked him to speak.

The officer said, "I have told the lord that you two should take advantage of the situation and take advantage of the situation."

Zuo Shankui let him go.

The officers and soldiers turned and left.

Zhao Wenlong looked at Zuo Shankui and said, "What kind of words are you talking about?"

Zuo Shankui said, "It seems Heshen wants to withdraw. Eh? That's not right. Could Heshen have other intentions?"

Zhao Wenlong said, "Tell me, what do you mean?"

Zuo Shankui said, "Maybe he is. Let's do it this way..." and whispered a few words into Zhao Wenlong's ear.

……

Wu Shengqin was walking down the road when a soldier came up to him. He saluted and said, "Master Wu, the two gentlemen Zhao Zuo and the Governor-General invite you to come over."

Wu Shengqin followed this man to the cell.

As soon as he saw the three officials, he knelt down and said, "Three gentlemen, please save the students."

Zhao Wenlong said, "Get up. Get up."

Wu Shengqin stood up and said, "If these poor scholars saw the students, they would skin them alive."

Zuo Shankui said, "Oh, that's not right, you didn't get the first place."

Wu Shengqin said, "Now that they know I spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to buy the title of Jieyuan, they won't let me go."

Zhao Wenlong said, "I don't know who leaked the news."

Governor Minde said, "Who else could it be? Mo Li. He's trying to force us to death. No, we're already prepared to die."

Zuo Shankui said, "We must not let Mo Li's plan succeed."

Zhao Wenlong looked at Wu Shengqin and said, "Wu Shengqin, do you want to live or die?"

Wu Shengqin said: "Of course I want to live."

Zhao Wenlong said: "If you want to live, you have to pretend to be stupid."

Wu Shengqin was confused and said, "Playing dumb? Why would I play dumb?"

Zuo Shankui said, "You didn't get the top prize in this exam, but the emperor already knows about you spending hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to buy the top prize. You can't even read, and now this matter has become a big deal. The emperor is in Jiangnan. If the emperor listens to Mo Li and wants to test your talent in person, you will definitely die."

Wu Shengqin said: "If I want to go out, then I have to..."

Zhao Wenlong said, "We have our own arrangements." He motioned Wu Shengqin to come closer and whispered a few words in his ear. Wu Shengqin looked embarrassed.

Zhao Wenlong said, "Remember, when you get out, run to the river screaming like crazy and jump right in. There's a boat on the river to pick you up."

Wu Shengqin said, "I'll remember it."

Zhao Wenlong continued, "Then, we will report your mad death. After returning home, you will live again under a different name."

Wu Shengqin shook his head slightly.

Zhao Wenlong continued, "Didn't your father want to achieve the title of Jieyuan? Although this title didn't stay in your family, you can still live. Don't blame us. Blame Mo Li. His methods are too clever. We are no match for him."
