He Shen asked, "What kind of help do you need? Tell me."

Mo Li said clearly: "Help push this stone slab."

He Shen asked doubtfully, "Push? Can it be pushed?"

Mo Li said, "Push it."

He Shen continued, "You are a person without reverence. How can you push the Buddha around casually?"

Mo Li didn't waste any more words with him and said, "Come on, move forward. One, two, three, push hard." He and Heshen worked together and actually pushed the Buddha statue.

It turns out there is a secret compartment under the Buddha statue.

Mo Li said, "Okay, okay, that's enough, get out of the way, get out of the way. Take my big pipe, the big pipe is useful now, come on, push it." He used the pipe to push against the Buddha statue, and worked together with Heshen again to push the Buddha statue away completely.

Seeing this, Emperor Gai Zhang said, "There really is a secret passage beneath the Buddha. Someone, get this box out."

Mo Li also echoed the same words.

Immediately, several officers and soldiers rushed in and hurriedly carried the box out.

Mo Li commanded, "Come, put it here, put it here." He pointed.

Two officers carried the box to the location he pointed and put it down.

The Emperor said, "Open it quickly."

He Shen immediately stopped him, saying, "No, Your Majesty, you must not do this. If you open it, a poisonous arrow will fly out, or a poisonous gas will be released. Then... Let me carry it back slowly, and after careful consideration, I will open it again."

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "You want to carry it back? I don't think it's necessary."

Mo Li said, "Um... let's put it this way. The situation I mentioned to the adults might happen. I, Old Mo, will handle the dangerous things."

Looking at He Shen, he continued, "Master He, we served in the same court and have some affection for each other. If I were to open this box and something like the situation you described happened, don't forget to prepare a set for me. Come on, step back, step back."

As he said this, he opened the box, which was full of gold, silver and jewelry.

Qiqi said seriously, "My Lord, the situation you described did not occur."

He Shen pretended to be surprised, but in fact he already knew what was in the box. He said, "Oh, I never thought this thief nun could have amassed so much money."

Mo Li said, "Yes, sir, let me tell you something you may not like to hear. I haven't collected as much as you have."

He Shen said, "What are you talking about?"

Emperor Gai Zhang said seriously, "Really?"

He Shen hurriedly explained: "No, Your Majesty, it's not right at this time..."

Somewhat incoherent.

Mo Li flipped through the banknotes in the box and found two letters. He looked quite surprised, "Oh, there are two more letters here."

He took out two letters and continued, "It's just right. This one is for you, the emperor, and the other one is for me, Old Mo."

Hand the letter to the Emperor.

The Stamp Emperor took it, opened the letter and began to read.

Mo Li did the same. He Shen leaned over to take a peek, but Mo Li rolled his eyes at him and said, "What are you looking at? It's a letter addressed to me."

Heshen felt embarrassed and looked at the letter in Emperor Gai Zhang's hand. Emperor Gai Zhang shook it and refused to let him see it.

Mo Li read out:

"This is the bribe money for the Jiangnan Provincial Examination. It is divided into four parts: Governor Minde gets three out of ten, Zhao Wenlong gets two out of ten, Zuo Shankui gets one out of ten, and He Zhongtang gets four out of ten."

He Shen was anxious when he heard this and was about to destroy the letter, saying, "Nonsense, how could I be here? No, no, Your Majesty, even if I wanted to do this, I wouldn't be so stupid as to go... No, is it really me?"

Mo Li smiled and said, “Okay, okay, sir, your name is not on it.”
