In the study room in the backyard of the government office, Du Xiaoyue was reporting to Xiang Nan about the investigation of White Snake.
"Okay, this white lady is really not simple." Xiang Nan frowned after hearing this.
When he watched "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan", he felt that this white lady was very extraordinary.
First of all, the etiquette in the Qing Dynasty was very strict, and women were not allowed to appear in public easily. How did White Snake, a woman, start such a big business?
Secondly, corrupt officials were rampant in the Qing Dynasty. If the white lady does not have a protective umbrella, even if she can start a business, how can she ensure her own interests?
Therefore, according to Xiang Nan's guess, there must be someone with great hands and eyes behind White Snake, who can make her business spread all over the world and ensure that her business is safe and sound.
"Yes, Mr. Ji, no wonder she can swallow so much food. Millions of stones is really not a small amount." Du Xiaoyue nodded, "Mr. Ji, what should we do next?"
"The next step is to report to the emperor and ask him to come to the Holy Inquisition." Xiang Nan nodded.
He had read all the accounts. How these corrupt officials misappropriated disaster relief food funds, how they divided the loot, how they settled accounts... He mastered every link one by one, which was enough to punish these corrupt officials.
"Okay, it's finally time to settle the accounts." Du Xiaoyue clapped her hands and smiled after hearing this.
…
"Who do you want to settle the score with?" At this moment, someone asked, and then the door opened, and He Shen walked in with Fu Kang'an, Liu Changfu and others.
When Xiang Nan saw it, he smiled slightly and came forward to greet him, "Master He and Master Fu, you are here~"
"Ji Xiaolan, you, a commoner, dare to pretend to be an official of the imperial court, what crime should you deserve!" Fukangan pointed his halberd at Xiang Nan and shouted loudly.
"Hey, let me be clear. I never said that I was with your lord. It was these officials who made the mistake." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "If you don't believe me, ask these officials, when did I claim that I was with your lord?" Shen?"
"Uh...this..." Liu Changfu and others were speechless.
It is true that Xiang Nan never claimed to be He Shen, so the fact that he pretended to be a court official does not seem to be true.
"But you are holding Mr. He's seal." Master frowned, "If you are not Mr. He, why are you holding his seal?"
"Yes, Ji Xiaolan, you will also die if you steal the official seal!" Fukangan shouted.
"Fukangan, if you say you're stupid, you'll have a runny nose!" Xiang Nan sneered, "Let Mr. He say for himself, did I steal this official seal?"
When Du Xiaoyue saw Xiang Nan scolding Fukangan like this, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Fukangan was furious and wished he could go forward and fight Xiang Nan.
He Shen stopped him.
He knew that his official seal was given to Xiang Nan by the emperor. There is no use in talking more.
"Anyway, Mr. Ji, I'd better trouble you to stay in jail for a few days." Heshen said with a smile.
After saying that, he sent soldiers forward to capture Xiang Nan.
"Whoever dares to touch Mr. Ji must pass me first." When Du Xiaoyue saw him, he immediately stepped forward and said.
"Miss Xiaoyue, don't be impulsive. I'll be fine. Master He won't kill me. The most they will do is lock me up for a few days," Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile, "I will be released from prison in two days."
"Sir~" Du Xiaoyue didn't believe it.
"Mr. Ji is really smart." Seeing Xiang Nan say this, He Shen couldn't help but admire him.
He really didn't dare to kill Ji Xiaolan. Ji Xiaolan was the emperor's favorite, how could he kill him so casually? The emperor should issue an order to kill him, otherwise, whoever kills him will have to pay with his life.
"Go." Xiang Nan nodded at her and said, "Master, just leave me alone. Miss Xiaoyue has nothing to do with this. Just let her go."
"Don't worry, Mr. Ji, I didn't intend to embarrass Miss Xiaoyue." He Shen said with a smile.
The emperor also has some thoughts about Du Xiaoyue, so he will naturally not destroy the flower with his own hands.
…
Xiang Nan was immediately put into prison. Du Xiaoyue left the Yancheng government office and went to Mochou and Huang Keming to discuss countermeasures.
Mochou couldn't help but worry when he heard that Xiang Nan was arrested and imprisoned.
"Mo Chou, don't worry, I will contact my brothers immediately and ask them to help find out the news about Master Ji." Huang Keming said immediately after hearing this.
They resisted corrupt officials for the people in the disaster area and won a lot of support from the public. It can be said that they are very popular in the Yancheng area and it is easy to find people to help.
"Moreover, Mr. Ji was so calm when he was arrested. It should be as he said, there will be no danger. So let's not get into trouble first." Huang Keming added.
"Yes." Mochou nodded, "If those corrupt officials really want to kill Mr. Ji, we will have to rescue Mr. Ji even if we go to rob the execution ground."
"Yeah." Huang Keming also nodded.
…
Yancheng government office.
"My lord, Ji Xiaolan has read all our account books and has an insight into all our secrets. In my opinion, if he doesn't stop doing anything, just kill him." Fukangan advised Heshen.
"Hey, it's easy to kill him. One jailer is enough." He Shen waved his hand and said, "But what happens after killing him? How will the emperor explain it? How will Shilin explain it? Brother, don't worry, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. "
"Then what are you going to do?" Fukangan asked.
"First of all, we have to find the emperor. As long as we find the emperor, other things will be easy to handle." He Shen waved his hand and said, "Send someone to find him immediately."
"Okay." Fukangan nodded.
…
After Fukangan left, He Shen ordered people to prepare food and drinks, and then came to Yancheng Prison.
In the Yancheng prison, the petty officials were giving Xiang Nan a hard time.
"Ji Xiaolan, you finally fell into my hands. I've long thought that you don't look like a good person." He sneered and said, "Do you remember, you stepped on me the day before yesterday, causing me to still be unable to straighten my back. I tell you, if you are sensible, kneel down immediately. Otherwise, I will make you taste the taste of severe punishment."
"Haha, you are really a dog that deceives good and fears evil." Xiang Nan said with a slight smile, "In front of the officials, you wag your tail and beg for mercy, and in front of the people, you show your teeth and claws.
A dog official like you really deserves to be cut into pieces. Let people see if you have the heart of a wolf and the lungs of a dog! "
"Bastard! You really think I don't dare to hit you!" The clerk was so angry at Xiang Nan's scolding that he was so angry that he shouted, "Come here, take him down!"
"Stop!" Someone shouted outside the prison at this time.
"Hey, there's someone else standing in the way." When the clerk heard this, he said angrily, "Get out of here and let me see who the bastard is talking too much!"
As soon as he finished speaking, He Shen walked in with his servants.
When the clerk saw it, he was so frightened that he knelt down and said, "He...he sir..."
"These people don't understand the rules, which frightened Mr. Ji." He Shen smiled at Xiang Nan, then looked at the clerk, "You all get out."
"Yes, sir~" The clerk hurriedly led the people to escape from the prison with a wheel and a crawler.
Xiang Nan couldn't help laughing when he saw how embarrassed he was.
