"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xiang Nan bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, I suggest that Wang Danwang be detained now, to prevent him from jumping over the wall in a hurry, and the trapped beast is still fighting. I also requested an order to rush to Ganzhou, take out the grain supervision account book, and supervise the handling of the grain supervision case."

Qianlong thought for a while.

To be honest, the current evidence is still a bit weak.

In the current Ganzhou grain supervision case, Wang Danwang is suspected of corruption for personal gain, and Wang Tingzan only made one-sided remarks.

It would be a bit hasty to detain a provincial governor based on this little testimony.

Moreover, he did not want to send Xiang Nan to Ganzhou to handle the grain supervision case.

Because Xiang Nan is an upright official, and upright officials are very harsh. After he arrives in Ganzhou, he is likely to kill everyone and behead all officials who are corrupt, bribery, and engaged in malpractice.

As a result, Ganzhou officials are likely to lose more than half. Without anyone to govern, Ganzhou will be in chaos.

Even if the court immediately sends people to fill the vacancies, the newly appointed officials may not be greedy anymore. A group of fat ducks will be killed and a group of skinny ducks will be replaced.

Most of these skinny ducks will also harm the public and enrich themselves, and are even more greedy than those fat ducks. In this way, the people of Ganzhou will still have to suffer without solving the fundamental problem.

…

Qianlong thought of this and was about to reject Xiang Nan.

At this moment, the guard came in and reported, "Your Majesty, Ganzhou 800 miles away is urgent!"

Qianlong took it and looked at it, and his face suddenly darkened, "He Shen was greedy for power and advanced rashly. He lost the battle and undermined the power of our army!"

When Xiang Nan heard this, he was equally unhappy, "Mao Zibing was raging in Ganzhou and killed one of our prefects and one of our deputy generals. Even the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu could not kill them. It shows that they are not easy to deal with.

He Shen really shouldn't be so rude, as this would make Mao Zibing even more arrogant."

"Hmph, there has been no progress in the grain supervision case, and now I have been defeated again. This slave really doesn't let me worry." Qianlong said displeased, "Let's do this, Ji Xiaolan, I will give you a match, if you can If you are right, I will arrest Wang Danwang and ask you to go to Ganzhou to handle the case. If you are not right, then I will send someone else to go."

"Your Majesty, please come forward." Xiang Nan bowed and said.

"My first couplet is: Smoke locks willows in the pond." Qianlong immediately came up with the title. This first couplet was accidentally inspired by him when he was inspecting Ningbo, but the second couplet couldn't be right.

Xiang Nan smiled and said, "The emperor's first couplet seems simple, but it contains the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. It is indeed difficult to interpret."

"Then you're right." Qianlong nodded and said with a seductive look on his face.

"Your Majesty: Gun Zhenhaicheng Tower." Xiang Nan said immediately.

Qianlong was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Ha, as expected of Ji Xiaolan. Okay, in that case, I will allow you to play."

"Yes, Wei Chen, take action now." Xiang Nan said immediately.

"Hey, by the way, Wang Danwang's adopted daughter..." Qianlong suddenly said again.

When Xiang Nan heard this, he immediately looked over and said, "Your Majesty, what do you want?"

Qianlong's face turned red and he waved his hands awkwardly, "It's okay, you can go."

He felt that Su Qinglian was not only beautiful, but also more talented, so he inevitably had his mind set on keeping her by his side.

It's just that it's hard to tell Xiang Nan about this kind of thing.

Honest officials are very harsh, and sometimes they don't give face to the king. If they are beaten up, it will be even more embarrassing.

At this moment, he really regretted not keeping He Shen by his side. If He Shen was here, he wouldn't have to worry about it, He Shen would automatically do it for him.

Hey, slaves are rare!

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xiang Nan nodded.

…

Xiang Nan immediately brought the imperial edict and a team of imperial guards to Wang Danwang's house.

Wang Danwang also heard about Wang Tingzan at this time and knew that he had been imprisoned in Xingzai by Xiang Nan and had probably confessed everything. He couldn't help but be anxious.

"Master, please find a way to meet Wang Tingzan at Xingzai and ask him to think clearly about the stakes." Wang Danwang immediately ordered the master.

Then, he came to Su Qinglian's boudoir and said pitifully, "Daughter, my father has something to ask of you."

"What are you talking about, father? If you hadn't rescued my daughter from the fireworks in the willow alley, my daughter would have withered and haggard now, and how could she be here today?" Seeing this, Su Qinglian nodded quickly and said, "What can I do for you?

My daughter will definitely help you do it."

"It's like this. That Ji Xiaolan is called the number one talented man, but he actually has talent but no virtue. In order to be promoted to an official position, he actually colluded with Wang Tingzan to slander his father.

Daughter, you and the emperor have met once before, and the emperor has a good impression of you. As a father, I beg you to meet the emperor, redress my father's injustice, and expose Ji Xiaolan's wolfish ambitions." Wang Danwang said immediately.

"He could actually be this kind of person?" Su Qinglian was shocked when she heard this.

In the past few days, she had sang poems with Xiang Nan and was deeply impressed by his talent. In her opinion, Xiang Nan really deserved to be the most talented man in the world. How could he do such an unscrupulous thing now?

"It's harder to paint a dragon or a tiger than to paint a skeleton. You know people but don't know their faces." Wang Danwang nodded and said, "Daughter, you must help your father."

"Yes." Su Qinglian nodded, not mentioning the years of nurturing her. Just the fact that Wang Danwang redeemed her life from Fireworks Willow Alley is a great kindness.

"How can my daughter, a commoner, be able to meet a saint?" Su Qinglian worried again.

"This time the emperor inspected Ningbo and made a couplet, and none of the accompanying officials could answer it." Wang Danwang explained, "If my daughter can match it, she will definitely be summoned by the Holy Emperor."

"Oh, what is the first couplet?" Su Qinglian asked.

"The first couplet is: Smoke locks willows in the pond. Maybe my daughter will write the second couplet?" Wang Danwang asked expectantly.

Su Qinglian thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes."

"Okay, my daughter is really smart and smart." Wang Danwang said happily.

…

At this moment, the housekeeper reported, "Sir, it's not good, Ji Xiaolan has led his troops to surround our house."

"What?!" Wang Danwang was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect Xiang Nan to come so quickly.

"He is still urging you to go to the front hall to receive the order." The butler said again.

"This, this, this..." Wang Danwang was also horrified for a moment.

Although he had always been overbearing and controlled Ganzhou like an iron barrel, turning it into a private kingdom. But now, Xiang Nan came with the imperial edict, which almost scared him to the point of peeing.

"Father, my daughter has some contacts with Ji Xiaolan, why not let her go see him first." Su Qinglian stood up and said.

"Okay, okay, okay." Wang Danwang nodded immediately.

He knew that he was in danger. Since Xiang Nan had brought the imperial edict, the food supervision case would no longer be concealed. With the money he had embezzled, he would have enough money to kill him a hundred times, so it could be said that he was dead.

At this time, it would be useless even if Su Qinglian had any friendship with Xiang Nan. After all, the imperial edict had been issued, and Ji Xiaolan still dared to resist it.

But a dying person will always seize any chance of survival, no matter how small or unreliable the chance is, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will still want to try.
