  Chapter 481 482 [To Yancheng] (addition for book friend, Mo Xueyiyun)

  Qianlong and Heshen came to the Confucius Temple together.

  As soon as we got there, an old man greeted us.

   "The two gentlemen are here to find Lin Xiaoquan?" He asked, clasping his hands.

   "Oh, how do you know?" He Shen asked in surprise.

   "Lin Xiaoquan ordered me to wait here for you two." The old man explained.

   "Oh?!" Qianlong was quite interested when he heard it.

   He Shen was even more surprised, "This Lin Xiaoquan is simply a living god."

   "Please follow me, both of you." The old man led the way.

  Qianlong and Heshen followed closely behind and came to the main hall of the Confucius Temple together.

   "Please stop, both of you." The old man turned around and stopped the two of them, "Lin Xiaoquan has an order, only one of you can enter the hall to see him."

   "What?! What a big tone! Does he know who we are?" He Shen was very dissatisfied when he heard this.

   Qianlong smiled, "Did he ever say, who will see him?"

  The old man smiled, "He said whoever looks uglier will stay outside."

  Qianlong and Heshen couldn't help being taken aback, looking at each other in blank dismay.

   "Master, you should come in." He Shen hastily said humbly.

  Qianlong nodded, pushed open the door of the palace, and walked in with the old man.

   "Please wait a moment!" The old man walked quickly into the apse.

  …

   A moment later, Qianlong was admiring the layout of the Confucian Temple, when he heard Xiang Nan knelt down and kowtowed, "Cao Min Ji Yun welcomes His Majesty!"

   "Ji Xiaolan?! Why are you? Where's Lin Xiaoquan?" Qianlong asked in surprise when he saw Xiang Nan.

   "Your Majesty, there is no such thing as Lin Xiaoquan, I made up that nonsense." Xiang Nan laughed, "If not, how could He Shen bring you here?"

   "You actually know that I am in Yunzhou?" Qianlong asked in surprise.

   "Your Majesty, He and your lord just read the imperial decree last night. If you were not in Yunzhou, how could the imperial decree arrive so quickly." Xiang Nan laughed.

  Yunzhou is more than a thousand miles away from the capital. Even if it is a fast horse post road, it will take five or six days to send messages back and forth.

  Qianlong suddenly realized, and then laughed, "Ji Xiaolan, you are really smart!"

   "Thank you, Long Live, for your compliment." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Your Majesty, please show the grass-roots people your half-golden lock."

   "You actually know that half of the golden lock belongs to me?" Qianlong was even more surprised.

   "Your Majesty, if it wasn't yours, why would you come here?" Xiang Nan laughed.

   Qianlong also laughed, then took out the golden lock and handed it to Xiang Nan.

   "May I ask the emperor, who kept this golden lock, and why do you care so much?" Xiang Nan asked again while looking at the golden lock.

  Qianlong immediately informed the nanny's last words and everything about Jinsuo.

  Xiang Nan nodded after listening.

   "Ji Aiqing, can you solve this mystery?" Qianlong asked immediately.

   "Your Majesty, as far as I know, the nanny's husband, Zheng Laoquan, is a goldsmith." Xiang Nan replied.

   "Oh?!" Qianlong was very interested when he heard this, "Where is he now?"

   "Zheng Laoquan's ancestral home is Yancheng, there must be his family there." Xiang Nan explained.

  Qianlong was overjoyed, "Ji Aiqing really deserves to be the most talented person in the world, and there is nothing that troubles you! Good! Good!"

   "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "By the way, Your Majesty, I have something important to report."

   "Oh, please tell me." Qianlong nodded.

  Xiang Nan immediately reported on the private distribution of disaster relief food funds and the private sale of stored food by officials in Yancheng and Yunzhou. And commended the actions of righteous men such as Mo Chou, Huang Keming and Du Xiaoyue.

"Your Majesty, Ji Yun and Miss Xiaoyue were just acting last night, and there was absolutely no lewdness. Please be aware of it." Xiang Nan finally said, "These righteous men are for the people in the disaster-stricken area, for the sake of the country and the community, regardless of personal safety. best people.

   It is hateful to be framed by those corrupt officials. Please the emperor give them justice and punish those corrupt officials severely. They have made the people of Yunzhou miserable, and the biological mother you are looking for may also be suffering. "

  After hearing this, Qianlong nodded.

   "Ji Xiaolan, I believe what you said is true." He said, "I also believe that you are not a womanizer."

   "Then why does the emperor still..." Xiang Nanming asked knowingly.

"I received a lot of secret memorials in the capital, saying that almost all the food relief funds here have been embezzled, from the governors and governors, down to the provinces and counties, collective corruption." Qianlong explained, "But I sent two groups Officials came to investigate, but they all returned in vain. Do you know why?"

  Xiang Nan nodded, "The imperial court sent personnel to investigate. Those corrupt officials are on guard, so it will be difficult to catch their pigtails."

   "Smart." Qianlong nodded approvingly, "Mr. is now a commoner, and no one is paying attention. He will definitely reveal the truth of this case for me."

   "Ji Yun will live up to the entrustment of the emperor!" Xiang Nan nodded and said, "But the emperor, I still have two requests."

   "Speak!" Qianlong nodded.

   "First, please let the emperor release Miss Mochou, she is really not the leader of the rebels." Xiang Nan explained, "Second, please temporarily give me the seal of He Shen, the emperor, and keep him in Yunzhou."

   Qianlong agreed one by one.

  …

  Xiang Nan immediately left the Confucian Temple from the apse, and returned to the residence arranged by Du Xiaoyue.

   "Tell Miss Xiaoyue that Miss Mochou will be released from prison soon." He told the landlord.

  The landlord immediately tried to tell Du Xiaoyue.

   Sure enough, by night time, Mo Chou had been released from prison.

  After meeting Du Xiaoyue and Huang Keming, the three of them immediately came to see Xiang Nan.

   "Mr. Ji, thank you for your kindness, your kindness and virtue will never be forgotten." Mo Chou saluted Huang Keming and Du Xiaoyue.

   "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, please get up quickly." Xiang Nan hurriedly stepped forward, helped them up and said, "You plead for the lives of the people in the disaster area, and you are Ji's example."

   "Mr. Ji, you are really a good person!" Du Xiaoyue said gratefully.

"Okay, stop praising me." Xiang Nan waved his hands and said, "I'm going to Yancheng tomorrow to thoroughly investigate the case of local officials corrupting ink for disaster relief. It's just that I am alone and alone, and I am not familiar with geography and human relationships. So I hope to get your help."

   "Master Ji is willing to put himself in danger for the sake of the people in the disaster-stricken area, and we will naturally be obliged to do so." Huang Keming immediately agreed upon hearing this.

   "Okay, let's unite and wipe out these corrupt officials!" Xiang Nan said immediately.

  Mochou and Du Xiaoyue couldn't help being excited when they heard what he said.

  …

  In the middle of the night, Xiang Nan took Heshen's seal, and then set off with Du Xiaoyue for Yancheng.

  Although Mochou and Huang Keming have been released, they have not been completely rehabilitated. So they responded in secret and did not go on the road together.

"Xiaoyue, we went to Yancheng to investigate the case this time. It can be said that we went deep into the caves of dragons and tigers. The environment is dangerous, so we must be careful." On the way, Xiang Nan instructed, "So, you must obey my arrangement and don't be reckless. act."

   "Yes, Mr. Ji." Du Xiaoyue nodded.

  Xiang Nan not only rescued Mo Chou from prison, but also accurately predicted Fu Kang'an's arrest of him, so now she admires him and is naturally willing to listen to him.
