After Liu Changfu left, Xiang Nan invited Qianlong out from behind the screen and said, "Your Majesty, you have heard it."

Qianlong's face was solemn and clouded.

Not only the White Snake was involved in this case, but also He and Shen were involved. One was his suspected biological mother, and the other was his important minister... They actually got together, which was beyond his expectation.

"Your Majesty, do you want to continue?" Xiang Nan asked again.

Qianlong nodded with a livid face.

Xiang Nan then ordered Du Xiaoyue to seal down all the businesses owned by White Snake. Tea houses, grain shops, car shops, boat shops, cloth shops, inns...the seals were all stamped with He Shen's big seal.

Later, Xiang Nan went to the cell in person and took He Shen out.

Along the way, gongs and drums were played, which was very lively.

"Mr. Ji, what do you mean by this?" He Shen asked, somewhat flattered and confused.

"Sir, Mr. Ji pretended to be your identity and caused you to stay in jail all night and suffer so much. I'm really sorry for you." Xiang Nan explained, "That's why I took you out of jail today and specially ordered people to make a big fanfare for Mr. He.

By clearing your name, I am making amends to you."

He Shen listened and seemed to believe it or not.

"Hey, sir, please invite me! I have prepared a banquet to wash your hands for you." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

…

After the two sat down, Xiang Nan poured wine for He Shen, "Sir He, I really admire you. I've gone through all the account books in Yancheng, but I can't find any evidence related to you. Awesome, awesome!"

"That's right." He Shen nodded with a smile, "Master Ji, do you think that spending more than ten years as an official with a certain official was in vain? If I hadn't done it flawlessly, you would have grabbed my pigtails long ago."

"Yes, it will not be easy for you and your Excellency today." Xiang Nan nodded, "Now, I have basically found out the cases of embezzlement of disaster relief food funds in Yancheng and Yunzhou.

How you lied about the disaster, how you divided the relief food funds, how you colluded with Datong Bank and Yongfeng Grain Company, how you colluded with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, how you deceived the Holy One... I now know every joint.

Only one important criminal, White Snake, has not been arrested yet. I inquired and learned that this White Snake only communicates with Mr. He alone, so I would like to ask Mr. He for more help."

"Mr. Ji really wants to catch White Snake?" He Shen asked with a smile after hearing this.

"Of course, she is an important criminal in this case. She colluded with the government, bought and sold disaster relief grains, and embezzled disaster relief funds. Her crimes were extremely heinous and unforgivable." Xiang Nan said firmly.

"No, I advise Mr. Ji to just give it up and don't provoke this white lady. Otherwise, you will definitely regret it." He Shen smiled and waved his hand.

"Sir, Ji Xiaolan serves the country and the people, and for the sake of the country and the country, there is no need to fear death!" Xiang Nan shook his head and said.

When He Shen saw it, he couldn't help but sneer, "Mr. Ji, you can die if you want, but Shen and I don't want to accompany you. Please forgive me for not being able to help you find the White Snake."

Seeing this, Xiang Nan also laughed and said, "In that case, I won't bother to fight with the adults, Ji will do it himself!"

"Huh?" He Shen was stunned, not knowing what he meant.

"Actually, I didn't expect Mr. He to help, so I killed him first and then reported. I ordered Miss Xiaoyue to lead the troops and sealed off all the businesses under White Snake. Each seal also had Mr. He's seal on it," Xiang Nan said with a smile.

.

He Shen's face darkened, and then he suddenly realized, "No wonder Mr. Ji just beat gongs and drums to escort He out of prison with great fanfare. It turned out that he wanted to lure White Snake into a trap."

"Master He is indeed smart." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the servant shout, "My lord, the White Snake wants to see you!"

"Okay, bring it up!" Ji Xiaolan immediately smiled.

…

After a while, an old man with gray hair and a childlike face strode in with a cane.

After seeing Heshen, her face darkened and she asked dissatisfiedly, "Master Heshen, you should give me an explanation. Is it because I gave him less money or was I not polite enough that you actually sent someone to seal down my shop?" , what on earth do you mean?”

"Hey, old woman, be careful what you say!" He Shen waved his hands quickly, "I didn't want to seize it. This was all done by Mr. Ji Xiaolanji forging my name."

"Oh, Ji Xiaolan? I have long admired your name!" White Lady looked at Xiang Nan and said coldly.

"Are you really the white lady?!" Xiang Nan asked with a surprised look on his face.

"Why, Master Ji doesn't look down on a woman like me?" White Snake said displeased.

"I don't dare. Madam is a weak woman, but she dominates Yancheng and Yunzhou. Her influence spreads all over the country. You even have your godson in the palace. With such talent and ability, it's not too late for Ji to admire her." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile. ,

"It's just that what puzzles Ji is that Madam is a female and is dressed in white clothes. Without the support and protection of noble people, how can the business be so big? I wonder if Madam can help Ji's doubts?"

Corrupt officials were rampant in the Qing Dynasty, and local ruffians were everywhere. When ordinary people did business, they were inevitably extorted, embezzled and occupied. If White Snake had no one to support and protect her, she would definitely not be able to achieve the results she has achieved today.

Therefore, Xiang Nan was very curious about who the noble person behind her was. What was his purpose in supporting White Snake? If he had not known that White Snake was the biological mother of the emperor, why would he go to such lengths to support her?

"Master Ji, if you want to interrogate me, I'm afraid you are not qualified." White Snake said proudly, "Unless I am the imperial judge, I won't be able to say anything."

"Hey!" When Heshen heard this, he smiled and clapped his hands.

If Long Live Lord knew that Xiang Nan had captured White Snake, the scene would be interesting.

"Why, could it be that the madam's backer is still the current long live one?" Xiang Nan asked.

The white lady chuckled.

"Okay, even if Madam's backer is Long Live Today." Xiang Nangong cupped his hands and said, "But what Madam did has also brought shame to Lord Long Live.

You colluded with corrupt officials and secretly divided the disaster relief food funds, causing the people of Yancheng and Yunzhou to suffer from hunger, cold, and displacement, and hundreds of thousands of people died of starvation!

You have committed such a crime, which is unbearable even for the emperor. If you are forgiven, how can you explain it to the world? Wouldn't it bring shame to him for the rest of his life?"

When the white lady heard this, she couldn't help but look solemn.

"Bold Ji Xiaolan, you are not allowed to slander His Majesty." He Shen scolded angrily.

"Sir, Ji is just assuming." Xiang Nan rolled his eyes at him and said, "Someone, put Bai in jail!"

"Ji Xiaolan, how dare you! Do you know her identity?" He Shen quickly stopped her when he saw her.

"My lord, princes who break the law are as guilty as the common people. The "Regulations of the Qing Dynasty" were decreed by the emperor. Ji Xiaolan enforces the law impartially in order to maintain the majesty of the emperor and the rule of the Qing Dynasty." Xiang Nan said confidently.
