Chapter 440: Swindle and Escape
Zhang Wanjie stood up, Mo Li held his hand, and he sat down again.
Mo Li said, "Hey, brother, why don't the local people file a complaint?"
The shopkeeper said, "Who wouldn't want to sue? The people would eat his flesh and drink his blood. But he fed Heshen, so which official would dare to intervene in his affairs?"
Mo Li seemed to be thinking about something, and said, "Oh, come on, come on, no more talking, no more talking, let's eat."
Zhang Wanjie said, "Sir, I feel a little unwell. I'll wait for you outside." Then he stood up and walked outside. The shopkeeper said, "Goodbye."
Mo Li said "oh", said "good" a few times, and smiled.
The shopkeeper also laughed.
Mo Li said, "Xiao Yue, let's eat ours."
The shopkeeper said, "Take your time to eat."
"Okay, boss, you can go down." Mo Li picked up some dishes.
……
Zhang Wanjie was walking back and forth at the door, and Mo Li and Du Xiaoyue came out.
He bowed to Mo Li and called him "Lord Mo".
Mo Li looked confused.
He continued, "Lord Mo, this is such an ingenious plan. I'm sure you're going to take the official to the capital. Please come in." He stretched out his hands, looking like he was about to be captured.
Mo Li said seriously, "Zhang Zhixian, there's something behind your words."
He pressed down Zhang Wanjie's hand and said, "I don't mean that. How can I easily believe this fool's unwarranted comments on current affairs? Moli, I'm just passing by here and I have to rush back to the capital. So, let's say goodbye." He smiled and bowed.
Zhang Wanjie said, "Lord Mo is leaving."
Mo Li said, “Oh, by the way, I also need to ask the county magistrate to help me prepare two post horses.”
Zhang Wanjie said, "Okay, I'll send someone to deliver it. I'll send someone to deliver it."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
……
Zhang Wanjie led the two of them to the presence of the officers and soldiers.
Mo Li said, "This is not good. How can I use your county's ceremonial guards?"
Zhang Wanjie said, "It is an honor for our county if Lord Mo wants to use it. Please come in." He made a gesture of invitation.
Mo Li also said please several times.
After Zhang Wanjie walked away, Du Xiaoyue asked in a puzzled voice: "Hey, Brother Li, what is he doing?"
Mo Li said, "He's afraid that we'll come into contact with ordinary people, so he lets these evil spirits escort us. Do you understand?"
Du Xiaoyue said: "Then let's do one..."
"I appreciate it." Mo Li added with a smile.
Du Xiaoyue said yes.
The two of them said "Let's go" at the same time and headed towards the sedan chair.
Several sedan chair bearers pushed the sedan down.
Zhang Wanjie personally lifted the curtain for Mo Li and said, "Please come in."
Mo Li walked into the sedan chair.
……
The gong sounds.
The convoy is moving forward.
After an unknown amount of time, they arrived at the county boundary. The person walking in front shouted, "Stop, Lord Mo, we have reached the county boundary. Move the sedan chair." Everyone stopped.
Mo Li stepped out of the sedan chair. "Oh, we've reached the county boundary. Good. According to the rules, the ceremonial procession never leaves the county. Thank you all for your hard work. I'll go back and tell Magistrate Zhang that I thank him."
He turned to Du Xiaoyue and said, "Come on, Xiaoyue, bring the horse over." Du Xiaoyue sighed and walked over leading the horse.
The two men rode away from Ju County on horseback.
……
In the cell.
Zhang Wanjie was looking at the prisoner on the pillar.
Just sat down not long ago.
An officer came over and said, "Brother, brother, brother."
Zhang Wanjie asked, "How's it going? What about Mo Li?"
The officer said, "Brother, I saw him and that woman leave the county and head for the capital."
Zhang Wanjie said, "Okay, take two people with you and take down that talkative bastard."
The officers and soldiers said yes and left with a group of people.
