Afterwards, He Shen, the Fourteenth Prince, Fukang'an, and the fourth girl set off together and took two cars to Yancheng.
"My lord, I'm ready." Fu Kangan was in the car and quietly said to He Shen.
He Shen nodded.
Halfway through, the carriage entered a forest. Suddenly, a snapping sound was heard, and a group of people rushed out from all directions. Each one holds a sharp blade and looks fierce.
The driver was so frightened that he ran away with his head in his hands.
When the fourth girl and Fu Kang'an saw her, they all stepped forward to greet her.
"Come on, Sir!", "Come on, Your Majesty!" The two shouted loudly while stopping the gangsters.
When He Shen and the Fourteenth Prince saw each other, they quickly fought and retreated.
But there were too many gangsters, and the Fourteenth Prince was covered with an iron net over his head, just like a fish caught in a trap that could not move.
"Your Majesty!" As soon as the fourth girl saw him, she wanted to step forward to rescue him.
Unfortunately, those gangsters were really powerful. Not only were they more powerful in numbers, but they also had large guns and spears, giving them an advantage in weapons. The forest of spears and halberds prevented her from moving forward.
"Si'er, sir, let's go quickly!" Fukangan parried while pulling Si'er and He Shen away.
The gangsters chased for a long time and then retreated.
"Oh, I'm still alive after a close call!" He Shen said with emotion.
"Your Majesty, I am going to save Your Majesty!" The fourth girl turned back and said.
"Si'er, those gangsters have many people and powerful weapons. If you go alone, you are just going to die. There is no way you can save the Fourteenth Prince." Upon hearing this, Fukangan quickly stopped him and said, "In this way, in half a day, We can get to Yancheng. After arriving in Yancheng, I will ask the government to send troops to go with you to rescue the Fourteenth Prince."
The fourth girl nodded after hearing this.
Now the three of them went to Yancheng together.
…
Du Xiaoyue, on Xiang Nan's order, went to investigate Mrs. Bai, the owner of Guangfa Grain Store.
After she left the government office, she got in touch with Mochou and Huang Keming, and they all worked together to find out the details of the White Snake.
While running around, someone suddenly tapped her on the shoulder and said, "Miss Xiaoyue, I didn't expect to see you here."
Xiaoyue turned around and looked around, and immediately laughed, "Xu Xian, why are you here too?"
"Oh, I'm here to find someone." Qianlong smiled, "By the way, Miss Xiaoyue, last time you said you knew White Snake, do you remember it?"
"Are you looking for White Snake too?!" Xiaoyue asked in surprise.
"Oh?! You seem to have remembered what you meant?" Qianlong's eyes lit up and he said, "Tell me quickly!"
Following Xiang Nan's reminder, he came to Yancheng and found Zheng Laoquan's home, only to find that their family had died long ago, and the death was very strange.
Zheng Laoquan's family and clan were exterminated, causing his clues to be interrupted again. When he was at his wits' end, he saw that Du Xiaoyue seemed to know White Snake, which made Qianlong inexplicably excited.
"As far as I know, the boss of Guangfa Grain Store is Bai Niangzi. This woman is very powerful. She owns all the grain stores, banks, tea houses, shipping stores, salt stores, and lumber stores in the city." Du Xiaoyue explained, "And even though she has no children, she has godsons all over the world. Even the eunuchs in the palace recognize her as their godmother."
When Qianlong heard this, he frowned.
This white lady is very different from the white lady he imagined.
In his imagination, the White Lady was a kind and kind old woman who had lived in poverty all her life, waiting for his son to rescue her.
But the white lady that Xiaoyue mentioned was extremely wealthy and powerful. She even had people in the palace. Could this white lady be his biological mother? How could she have such great wealth, and why would she befriend the eunuchs in the palace?
Each mystery made Qianlong feel like he was in a fog.
"Okay, Miss Xiaoyue, thank you for your message. Let's see you another day." Qianlong immediately handed over and left.
He was going to check this white lady carefully to see if she was his biological mother.
…
He Shen, Fukang'an, and the fourth girl walked all the way to Yancheng.
As soon as he arrived at the city gate, he was stopped.
"Come on, take down these thieves who are fighting against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty!" The little official stepped forward and shouted. He saw that He Shen and the others were well-dressed, and the fourth girl was young and beautiful, so he became greedy again. .
"Presumptuous!" Fukang'an shouted, and slapped the clerk all over his face. "Look who I am!" As he said this, he took out the tiger talisman token.
When the clerk saw it, he was almost frightened to death.
He hit a snag with Mr. He last time, but he didn't expect to offend someone he shouldn't offend again this time. He felt that he should really go to the ophthalmologist, or go to the temple to burn incense and fulfill his vow.
"Master Fu, this subordinate is short-sighted and deserves to die. Please have mercy on me, please have mercy on me!" He knelt down hurriedly.
"Hmph, take us to the government office immediately!" Fukang'an snorted coldly.
The clerk quickly got up from the ground and led Fu Kang'an and others to the government office.
"Sir, you came just in time. He Shen and your Excellency are also at the government office." He said as he walked.
"What?!" He Shen and Fukang An were all shocked, "In Yancheng with your Excellency?!"
"Yes, he just arrived in Yancheng the day before yesterday." The clerk said with a smile.
He Shen and Fukang'an looked at each other in disbelief.
"What does he look like?" He Shen asked, "How do you know he is He Shen?"
The clerk then talked about Xiang Nan's appearance, and then said, "He has the official seal of Heshenhe, and he is majestic and full of official authority. If not Heshen, who could he be?!"
"It's Ji Xiaolan!" After hearing what he said, He Shen and Fu Kang'an immediately guessed the origin of the fake He Shen.
"Master He, didn't you say that he has returned to the capital?" Fukang'an wondered.
"Huh, I've been fooled by him." He Shen frowned and said, "He built the plank road openly, but secretly visited Chencang. On the surface, he went to the capital, but he didn't expect to come to Yancheng.
No official in Yancheng has ever seen me, and he holds my seal in his hand, so it is easy to win their trust. By then, our secret will be clearly revealed to him. "
"But how come Ji Xiaolan has your seal?" Fukangan asked doubtfully.
"Well..." He Shen frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly clapped his hands, "I remember, Emperor Ohmae asked for my seal and said he wanted to play with it. I think it was probably at that time that I gave it to Ji Xiaolan ."
"The Emperor is also among them?" Fukangan said in surprise, "So, the Emperor's visit to Yancheng is probably related to Ji Xiaolan."
"Well, what I said is absolutely true." He Shen nodded, "This is very possible."
"What should we do? What if the emperor knows about the private distribution of disaster relief food funds..." Fukangan became scared.
"Go to the government office quickly." He Shen also said anxiously.
If the emperor really joins forces with Ji Xiaolan, then they and others will be in danger.
