Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

Chapter 561 The Heartless Mo Li

"Mo Li, who speaks out for the people?" the boss continued.

"No, no, boss, I have something to ask you," Mo Li said with a smile.

"Please tell me," the boss said, sounding curious about what it was about.

Mo Li leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words.

The boss frowned and nodded.

Mo Li cupped his hands and said, "Thank you."

……

Mo Li returned to the examination hall, came before Emperor Gaizhang, knelt down and bowed, saying, "Your subject Mo Li pays his respects to Your Majesty."

Emperor Gai Zhang asked him to get up.

Mo Li thanked the Emperor, stood up, and smiled.

Emperor Gaizhang said, "You don't want to tell me what you were doing just now, do you?"

Mo Li said breathlessly, "Your Majesty, I would like to borrow something from you."

Emperor Gaizhang asked, "What does Mo Li want to borrow?"

Mo Li said, "I'll borrow the Emperor's Divine Machine Battalion."

Emperor Gaizhang said, "The Divine Machine Battalion? Who do you intend to use those muskets against?"

Mo Li said, "I... I beg Your Majesty's permission."

Emperor Gaizhang stood up and said, "Mo Li, during the imperial examination, is it appropriate for the Divine Machine Battalion to fire guns and cannons in the courtyard?

Mo Li said, "Then... alright. It's fine if we don't use the Divine Machine Battalion. Then please grant me permission, Your Majesty, to set off firecrackers within five miles outside the examination hall before and after the papers are submitted."

Emperor Gai Zhang had already arrived in front of him and said, "What kind of trick is this now?"

Mo Li said, "The Emperor will find out then."

Emperor Gaizhang said, "Good, good, good. Oh, this matter must be told to Lord He. He is the Commander of the Nine Gates."

Mo Li said, "Oh dear, this is precisely why I must report this to Your Majesty and ask for your permission. Your Majesty, please, please do not let Lord He know about this."

Emperor Gaizhang was still completely unaware of the situation. He returned to his chair and asked, "Why?" Then he burst into laughter.

Mo Li didn't want to explain further, and said, "Please grant me permission, Your Majesty."

Emperor Gaizhang said, "Very well, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead."

Mo Li cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty," before turning and leaving.

Emperor Gaizhang's expression suddenly turned serious.

……

The candidates walked out of the Liansheng store and came to the examination room, where they were checked one by one before entering.

The search officers checked one person after another, and finally it was Zhao Qing's turn.

To be honest, she was a little nervous. After all, she was a woman, and if it were discovered, it would be a huge problem.

She put her luggage down.

The search officer asked, "What's your name?"

Zhao Qing replied, "Gan Xiaoxu."

The search officer said "search," and the soldiers pulled her aside and began the search.

Zhao Qing said, "You're not allowed to touch me."

The officer said, "What's wrong with you, scholar? Why won't you let me search you?"

The officers looked at the search officer with questioning eyes.

The search officer immediately ordered two soldiers to arrest Zhao Qing and begin a forced search.

As Zhao Qing struggled, she shouted, "Let me go! Don't touch me! Don't touch me! Let me go! Let me go!"

Mo Li noticed the situation and said, "Stop!"

He said to the officers and soldiers, "Have her come over, I want to talk to her."

The officer said yes and told Zhao Qing to go over.

Zhao Qing didn't move.

Mo Li pulled her aside and said, "Zhao Qing, how can you be so insensible? What kind of place is this? You can't act recklessly here."

Zhao Qing said, "How am I being ridiculous? Don't help me with anything else, just help me get through this door."

Mo Li said, "Let me tell you, as long as I'm here, I will never allow you to enter this door."

Zhao Qing shouted his name loudly.

Then he said, "Lord Mo, are you really that heartless?"

Mo Li said seriously, "Zhao Qing, with the eyes of scholars across the land watching me, I don't want to talk about feelings or anything like that. This is the law of the land."
