The clouds in the sky seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light.

Du Xiaoyue brought her two children to the gate of the government office.

Emperor Gai Zhang came out, and the four guards saluted. Emperor Gai Zhang looked ahead and saw Du Xiaoyue, and said, "Xiaoyue."

"Your Majesty." Du Xiaoyue knelt down and said to the two children, "Xiao Liuzi, this is the Emperor. Aren't you going to file a complaint? Hurry."

The two children also knelt down, one of them holding a petition in his hand.

Emperor Gai Zhang asked, "Who are you going to sue?"

Du Xiaoyue said to Xiao Liuzi, "You should sue whoever killed your mother."

Xiao Liuzi said, "Mom is starving. I want her."

Du Xiaoyue said: "The emperor wants to protect his mother, but who is Xiao Liuzi's mother?"

"I understand." Emperor Gai Zhang had a blank expression on his face.

……

In the pavilion.

Mo Li was standing and smoking, while Heshen was sitting on a stone bench beside him.

Mo Li sat down and said, "The Emperor interrogated the Yancheng Prefecture overnight, but they didn't reveal any evidence of guilt against you, Lord. Congratulations to you, Lord."

He Shen said, "Alright, Mo Li, stop making sarcastic remarks about me."

Mo Li said, "The Emperor has been investigating for quite some time, but he only found Boss Xue. You and your Excellency have escaped safely. Shouldn't we congratulate you?"

He Shen said, "This case was solved by Mo Li. It's a great achievement. This is something to be celebrated."

Mo Li laughed, "Master He, don't you understand in your heart that if my case leads to the Emperor's biological mother, what will the Emperor think? I dare not even think about the credit. As long as I can keep this head, I will be very happy."

He Shen smiled and said, "Okay, it's commendable that Mo Li could think of this. I have a way to dispel your doubts. I wonder if you are willing to listen."

Mo Li took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Please give me some advice, sir."

He Shen said, "I dare not. Let Liu Changfu handle this case and fine Boss Xue a huge sum of money to help the victims. See?"

Mo Li smiled and said, "This will turn a big thing into a small one, and a small thing into nothing."

He Shen laughed and said, "This is exactly the outcome that the emperor would most like to see."

Mo Li said, "But this is exactly the outcome that the people least want to see."

He Shen shook his head. "Not necessarily. Think about it. Executing three officials would be enough to appease the public anger. In this way, Mo Li would be cheered by the people, and your name would be remembered forever."

Mo Li looked disapproving, "Leave a good reputation for eternity? I think it's more like a death of infamy. If I don't kill this Boss Xue, how can I, Mo Li, be worthy of the countless bones that have been shed in the disaster area?"

He Shen was so angry that he slammed the table and said, "You are really a stubborn stone, hopeless."

At this time, a servant came in and said, "My lords, there is a man named Liu Yong outside who wants to see you."

Mo Li said, "Let him in."

Not long after, Liu Yong walked in and said with a look of complaint, "Master Mo, what's going on? You didn't even tell me about this big thing that happened."

He was naturally referring to the fact that Boss Xue was the emperor's biological mother.

Mo Li said, “Master Liu, if I hadn’t told you, wouldn’t you have gone and found out for yourself? Have you found out now?”

Liu Yong said, "I'm also confused. To be honest, you asked me to come to Yunzhou this time. Apart from discussing the idea of ​​changing the seal with you, I don't think I helped you much in other ways."

Mo Li said: "Your help is not necessary. It is impossible for you to be the only divine judge in the Great Xuan Kingdom. I, Mo Li, am also one of them."

Liu Yong said, "What you said makes a lot of sense."

……

Liu was beating the wooden fish in front of the Guanyin statue.

Emperor Gai Zhang pushed the door open and walked in.

Hearing the noise, Liu stopped what she was doing and said, "Your Majesty, the judge is back. They must be putting all the blame on Boss Xue. Yes, I am Boss Xue."

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "Mother, why would you do such a thing? You have so much money, why would you use the grain money for disaster relief to make money from the national disaster?"

Liu looked sad and said, "Why? Because of you. The Fourteenth Prince told me that if I did this, he would arrange for you to come see me, and you would acknowledge me as your mother."

Emperor Gai Zhang looked sad and thought to himself, what's going on? I'm a time traveler, but I actually feel empathy for this old lady.

Liu paused and continued, "Otherwise, I would have to hide in this place, sewing a piece of clothing for my son every year, a piece of clothing he could never wear, and I would have to look at it and cry every night."

Emperor Gai Zhang couldn't help but say, "Mother."

Liu said, "Mother, I long to hear that cry. The son I raised has called me his mother. Is Yongzheng fair to me? Is Daxuan fair to me? Is God fair to me? I hate it, I hate this world, I hate Daxuan, I hate everyone. I have nothing, nothing, nothing, all I have is money, and I will use this money to take revenge on this world."

Emperor Gai Zhang was so sad that he even forgot that he was a time traveler and that he was not Emperor Qianlong. He was completely immersed in his emotions.
