Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

Chapter 86 He Shen Tries Mo Li

Mo Li said, "Bingtang, it seems I was wrong. Let's arrange the funeral for your father."

Huang Bingtang and Xiangcao immediately burst into tears, calling out Lu Changan's name.

Mo Li said, "Everyone is tired after not sleeping all night. You should go back first."

Du Xiaoyue said, "Mo Li, what about you?"

Mo Li said, "I'll stay a little longer. This mistake was made by me. I want to see him buried."

The fourth lady looked at Du Xiaoyue and said, "Xiaoyue, Master Mo is right. Let's go back first."

Huang Bingtang and Xiangcao hugged Lu Changan's body and cried.

Mo Li walked to the door and listened carefully to the noise outside.

After making sure everything was alright, he came to Lu Changan's body, lifted the white cloth, and said, "Don't cry, Bingtang. Your father and I agreed that he would wake up at dawn. I deliberately moved the time forward by two hours."

After saying that, he looked at Xiangcao and continued, "Xiangcao, remember, in two hours, feed your Uncle Huang a bowl of water and he will wake up. Bingtang and I still have a show to perform."

Huang Bingtang was stunned when he heard this.

……

On the streets where people come and go.

Fu Kang'an rode a tall horse and escorted Huang Bingtang and Mo Li.

The officers and soldiers said, "Get out of the way."

Someone in the crowd recognized Huang Bingtang and said, "Isn't that the little miracle doctor? The little miracle doctor has been arrested."

Someone else said: "He is really a little miracle doctor. He is a living Bodhisattva who saves lives."

Some people wanted to rush to Huang Bingtang, but were stopped by the officers and soldiers.

……

The fourth girl and Du Xiaoyue were having dinner.

At this time, Xiangcao rushed in and said, "My two sisters, it's bad. Lord Mo and cousin Bing have been arrested."

"What?" Du Xiaoyue stood up immediately after hearing that.

……

In court.

Fukang'an and Heshen sat together at the table.

Prefect Fang was on the sidelines as a jury. He said, "Come, bring the criminal to the court."

A famous constable stepped forward and said, "Take the criminal away from Huang Bingtang."

Accompanied by a majestic voice, Mo Li and Huang Bingtang walked in, followed by two officers and soldiers.

Huang Bingtang knelt down.

Mo Li did not kneel.

He Shen moved his body, slammed the gavel, and said, "Mo Li, do you admit your guilt?"

Mo Li said, "Mo Li has never committed a crime, how can I know my sin?"

He Shen said, "You still want to quibble. As a minister of the imperial court, you were ordered by the emperor to leave the capital to investigate the case of the prescription. What a great favor! But you knew about it but kept it secret and colluded with the criminal's family. You are not only guilty, but your crime is truly heinous."

Mo Li said, "My Lord, the emperor ordered me to investigate the suspect, the imperial physician Lü Chang'an. How could Lü Chang'an's family be here?"

He Shen said, "You are lying with your eyes wide open. The person kneeling next to you is Lu Changan's son."

Mo Li said, "Your Excellency must be mistaken. He is Huang Bingtang, the son of Huang Tieya, the legendary doctor in Linqing Prefecture. The local people all know him, right?"

The crowd of onlookers said yes.

Heshen slammed the gavel. "Mo Li, don't try to deceive me. I've already investigated thoroughly. Lü Chang'an and Huang Tieya are the same person. Huang Tieya, under the alias Lü Chang'an, came to Beijing to serve as the imperial physician. He later conspired to participate in the murder case involving a prescription. Not long ago, he fled back home and died of fear of punishment. You were charged with the important task of investigating the case, yet you secretly colluded with the suspect's son. Lord Fu arrested him on the spot, and the evidence is solid. What else do you have to say?"

Mo Li remained silent.

He Shen said, "You won't confess even under severe torture. Come, take him away and give him forty lashes."

Mo Li said, “Master He, do you really dare to hit me?”
