Qianlong immediately took Du Xiaoyue to rescue Xiang Nan.
"Xiaoyue, take this warrant to the inn and complain to He Shen. I can guarantee that Ji Xiaolan will come out soon."
On the way, Qianlong found a piece of paper, wrote two big characters and handed it to Du Xiaoyue.
"Ah?! Can a two-word petition work? Besides, He Shen captured Mr. Ji, how could he let him out?" Du Xiaoyue said in surprise when she saw him.
Although she is simple, she is not an idiot. If Xiang Nan could be rescued with just a piece of paper, she wouldn't have to worry.
"Okay, it will definitely work." Qianlong said with a smile, "If it doesn't work, I'll let you do whatever you want."
"Okay, then I'll give it a try." Du Xiaoyue saw that he was serious about what he said and was eager to save Xiang Nan, so she walked into the Tianlong Inn with her head held high, thinking of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and shouted loudly , "Where is He Shen? I want to file a complaint!"
"Du Xiaoyue, don't be presumptuous!" She had just shouted twice when Fukangan suddenly stood up and glared at her.
"Hey~" He Shen waved to him.
The emperor didn't know why, but he was very protective of Du Xiaoyue, so he had to give her some sympathy.
"Miss Xiaoyue, who are you going to sue?" He Shen said with a smile.
"..." Du Xiaoyue was stunned, "Anyway, I want to file a complaint. Please take a look at the paper." As she said that, she handed over the paper.
He Shen didn't pay attention at first, but when he saw the two words "Shengtang" on the paper, he was stunned, and then stood up in fear.
Fukangan was also surprised when he saw it.
"My lord, this is the emperor's handwriting." He said quietly.
He Shen nodded. He has been with him for many years, so he naturally recognizes the emperor's calligraphy clearly.
"Miss Xiaoyue, where is the person who wrote the petition for you now, and what are his orders?" he asked cautiously.
"He is right outside the door." Du Xiaoyue smiled, "He said that as long as I give you the paper, Mr. Ji will come out soon."
"Yes, yes." Heshen nodded, "Then Miss Xiaoyue, just follow me."
…
He Shen immediately took Fu Kang'an and Du Xiaoyue back to Yancheng Mansion Yashengtang to investigate the case.
"Master He, why are you going to court? Ji Xiaolan is pretending to be a member of the imperial court, and there are all the witnesses and material evidence. How can he be worthy of trial?" All the officials wondered.
"If I say I'm going to be promoted, I'm going to be promoted. What are you talking about?" He Shen scolded.
When all the officials in Yancheng saw it, they had no choice but to obey.
…
After a while, He Shen went to the court to ask questions.
Xiang Nan was taken out of the prison.
"Sir, you have suffered~" Du Xiaoyue couldn't help but said with concern when she saw Xiang Nan's eyes darkened and her spirit was listless.
Xiang Nan nodded.
The feeling of being in jail is indeed unpleasant.
First of all, the smell is unpleasant. The prisoners eat, drink, and defecate in the prison, which makes the prison filled with a fishy stench, which is very unpleasant.
Secondly, snakes, insects, rats and ants were rampant in the prison. Xiang Nan only stayed for less than two days, and he was bitten by dozens of lice and fleas, making his whole body itchy unbearably.
It can be said that in all his life, he has never suffered such a crime.
"You are not allowed to whisper in court." He Shen was stunned and said, "Du Xiaoyue, who do you want to sue?"
"I want to sue you!" Du Xiaoyue pointed at Heshen and said.
On the way here, Qianlong had already told her the key points.
"Bold!" Liu Changfu and other Yancheng officials all shouted in unison.
He Shen knew that the emperor was standing behind Du Xiaoyue, so he did not dare to act rashly, "Then what do you want to sue me for?"
"I'm going to sue you for being a fake Heshen!" Du Xiaoyue said immediately.
"How dare you!" Liu Changfu and other Yancheng officials shouted again, "My lord He is my lord, how can I allow you to make false accusations like this? If you dare to mess around again, I will beat you out with a stick!"
"Who said I made a false accusation? I have witnesses!" Du Xiaoyue said quickly.
"Ridiculous, this witness must have been bribed by you." Liu Changfu shouted, "It doesn't count!"
"It doesn't count?! You stupid official!" Du Xiaoyue cursed.
"You dare to call me a coward? Come on, pull me down and beat him twenty times!" When Liu Changfu heard this, he immediately said angrily.
"That's enough, proclaimer!" He Shen shouted as he was stunned.
He already knew that Du Xiaoyue's witness was Qianlong, so how dare he act recklessly.
…
Witness Qianlong then strode in.
When Heshen and Fukangan saw it, they couldn't help but stand up.
"Master He, why are you standing up?" Liu Changfu asked in confusion.
"You guys stand up too~" He Shen said quietly.
"..." Liu Changfu became more and more confused.
"Get up!" He Shen couldn't help scolding.
Hearing what he said, Liu Changfu and others had no choice but to stand up.
"Hey, isn't this Xiao Ji?" Qianlong looked at He Shen and said.
"I...Xiao Ji?!" He Shen was stunned.
"Why, aren't you Ji Xiaolan? Have you forgotten that we took the imperial examination together. You passed the exam and I failed." Qianlong smiled.
"I... this..." He Shen was a little confused for a moment, not knowing what kind of medicine the emperor was selling in his gourd.
"That's nonsense, come on, kick him out!" When Liu Changfu saw Qianlong coming to the court, he started talking nonsense and couldn't help scolding him again.
"Then are you Ji Xiaolan?" Qianlong ignored him and continued to ask He Shen.
He Shen understood and nodded awkwardly, "Yes, I am... Ji Xiaolan."
"Ah?!" When the officials heard this, they were all shocked.
"Hey, Mr. Ji, Xu Xian knows magic." Du Xiaoyue was also very surprised and said to Xiang Nan in amazement, "He Shen was fascinated by the magic as soon as he cast it."
When Xiang Nan heard this, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
"What on earth is going on?" Liu Changfu was completely confused.
"Let me speak for him. He is Ji Xiaolan, pretending to be He Shen, and came to Yancheng to defraud. Isn't that right?" Qianlong looked at He Shen and said.
"Yes, I am Ji Xiaolan, I pretended to be He Shen, I deserve death, I have no descendants..." He Shen then cursed.
"Sir, he is scolding you." When Du Xiaoyue heard this, she couldn't help but said angrily.
"Don't worry, I will scold you back sooner or later." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"No, Lord Fukangan is here too. He can prove that this is Lord He." Liu Changfu looked at Fukangan in front of him and said.
Fukangan looked embarrassed at the moment.
"Oh, Fukangan, did you accept Ji Xiaolan's money, so you perjured him?" Qianlong looked at Fukangan and said.
"Ah, this...right~" Fukang'an nodded feeling helpless.
"..." When the officials in Yancheng saw it, they were all dumbfounded.
"Then Xiaoji...who do you think is the real Heshen?" Qianlong looked at Heshen again.
He Shen had no choice but to look at Xiang Nan, "He is the real He Shen, I am Ji Xiaolan's fake one, and I, Ji Xiaolan, should be cut into pieces."
Xiang Nan smiled and refused to follow his fast talk. He stepped forward, took the seal, and then threw the alarm, "Come on, put Ji Xiaolan in jail."
Immediately, someone came forward and took He Shen to prison.
Xiang Nan felt happy.
He Shen, you should also taste the fishy stench and mosquito bites in the prison.
