Chapter 493 494 [The mystery is revealed]
"Si''er, are you really willing to do this?" Fukangan said excitedly when he saw the fourth girl saying this.
“A gentleman’s words are hard to catch!” the four girls said resolutely.
"Okay, it''s a deal." Fukangan nodded, took out a gold medal and said, "This gold medal is my personal belongings. You can use it to rescue the Fourteenth Prince. After you save the people, come to the government office to see me. "
The fourth girl nodded, then mounted her fast horse and went to rescue the Fourteenth Prince.
…
In the evening, in the dead of night, Qianlong came to the prison to visit the White Snake.
“Old man, are you really the white lady?” he asked, looking at the old woman sitting in the prison.
??The White Snake glanced at him indifferently and asked coldly, "Who is your honor?"
“Where did you come from this half piece of golden lock and white Guanyin?” Qianlong asked again.
"Why do you ask these questions?" the white lady asked in confusion.
Qianlong took out his half of the gold lock and combined it with the half of the gold lock found in the Buddhist hall.
When the white lady saw it, she was stunned.
After a moment, she looked at Qianlong with trembling lips, and asked excitedly, "Where did you get this half of the golden lock?"
“Where did this half of the golden lock come from?” Qianlong continued to ask without answering.
The White Lady pondered for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "This half piece of golden lock has its origin."
"I think when I was young, I was originally a farm girl in the suburbs of Beijing. One day, two young men came to the mountains to hunt. The older one called the younger one ''Fourteenth Brother''..." White Snake said.
Qianlong''s eyes suddenly lit up, "How do you call the younger one the older one?"
“The younger one calls the older one ‘fourth brother’~” White Snake continued.
“Fourth brother?! Do you know their last names?” Qianlong asked quickly.
“Their surname is Ai, Ai Xinjueluo’s Ai.” The White Snake said categorically.
Qianlong was suddenly shocked.
“The fourth young master accidentally fell off a horse and was injured, so he stayed in my farmhouse and I took care of him. As the play says, love grows over time and we are determined to be private for life.” White Snake added.
Qianlong nodded.
"Later I became pregnant and gave birth to a boy." The White Lady continued, "The Fourth Young Master ordered someone to build this longevity lock himself."
Qianlong was shocked when he heard this, "What happened next?"
"Later, the Fourth Young Master told me that if the child stayed with me, he was destined not to become a useful child, so he wanted to take it back to the house. It happened that his wife gave birth to a daughter at that time.
?So he ordered the wet nurse to bring my child into the house overnight. Before leaving, he divided the golden lock into two halves. Half me, half the kid. "The white lady said again.
"Since then, I have never seen my child again. I can only chant to the golden lock every day and pray for the safety and health of my child." The white lady said with tears in her eyes, choking, "Until one day, The wet nurse brought me news from the capital that my son has become the current emperor."
“I am happy for my son. He has finally grown into a great man. But I know that there is already a queen mother in the palace, and it is impossible for the emperor to recognize a second mother.
I just hope that before I go into the coffin. If I can look at him and hear him call me "Mother" with my own ears... I will..." The white lady said this, tears welling up uncontrollably.
When Qianlong saw it, he couldn''t help but be deeply moved and couldn''t help shouting, "Mother!"
“Good boy, Mom has been waiting for you for so long, and finally she’s here for you.” The white lady stepped forward tremblingly, hugged him excitedly and said, “Good boy, let Mom take a good look at you.”
“Hey.” Qianlong nodded.
…
?At the same time, the fourth girl also rode to the military camp, showed Fukang''an''s gold medal, and rescued the Fourteenth Prince.
“My lord, are you okay?” she asked with concern. "It''s okay. These friends from the Tiandihui are very good to me." The Fourteenth Prince smiled.
“What Tiandihui, they are Fukangan’s subordinates.” The fourth girl explained.
The Fourteenth Prince was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "So that''s it, they still can''t tolerate me."
"Yes, Your Majesty, they have always regarded you as a serious threat and want to get rid of you quickly." The fourth girl nodded, "In that case, Your Majesty, you should take action as soon as possible. Qianlong is in Yancheng now and is alone. Li Gu, why don’t we take advantage of the opportunity to strike..."
"Hey, there''s no time." The Fourteenth Prince waved his hand, "Now I am in Yancheng. Once something happens to Qianlong, I will be the biggest suspect. By then, not only will I not be able to ascend the throne, but I will also have to give Qianlong a You can’t pay for your life.”
“Your Majesty, what should I do?” the fourth girl asked.
"Don''t be anxious, I have already prepared. Qianlong''s coming to Yancheng has played into my plan!" The Fourteenth Prince smiled and said, "Four girls, come back to the capital with me."
"Your Majesty, Ah Si can''t go with you. I have promised Fukangan that as long as he lets you go, I will stay with him." The fourth girl shook her head.
The Fourteenth Prince was stunned for a moment, then sighed, "Well, good birds choose trees to roost in, so you might as well stay with Fukangan. However, Fourth Girl, I still want to remind you that Fukangan is full of tricks. He is cruel and ruthless, so you must be more careful around him."
“Yes, Your Majesty.” The fourth girl nodded.
The Fourteenth Prince immediately rode on the road and parted ways with the four girls.
…
The backyard of the government office.
Xiang Nan was looking through the letters and account books that he had found from the White House.
I have to say that this white lady is a careful person. Over the years, letters and account books have been well collected.
Now that everything is in Xiang Nan''s hands, he has a clear understanding of White Snake''s life.
Through these letters, Xiang Nan finally solved his doubts.
That''s how the White Snake grew from a peasant girl to a dominating rich man. Who is her backer, and why is this backer willing to help her?
In addition, Xiang Nan also found evidence of Heshen''s corruption and bribery from letters and account books.
?In the past ten years alone, the gold, silver, jewelry, antiques and antiques given to him by the White Lady totaled two to three million taels.
The annual salary of a first-grade official is only one hundred and eighty taels.
?This shows that the White Snake’s bribery is so heavy that it is jaw-dropping.
…
In prison, Qianlong and White Snake recognized each other and recounted the pain of parting.
Qianlong then asked White Snake, "Mom, who sent you from the capital to Yancheng, and who helped you get such a big business?"
“It’s the Fourteenth Prince.” White Snake explained.
“Fourteenth Emperor’s Uncle?!” Qianlong was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and realized it was reasonable.
Only the Fourteenth Prince knows about the affair between White Snake and the Fourth Young Master. He must have also known that White Lady was pregnant and gave birth to Lin''er, and it was not difficult to know that he was moved into the house.
So, he transferred the white lady to Yancheng, and then supported her to become a businessman.
"What is his purpose for doing this?" Qianlong asked doubtfully.
"I don''t know either. He asked me to do it, so I did it." The white lady waved her hand.
“Mother, why did you collude with the government to divide the food for disaster relief?” Qianlong asked in confusion.
“Because I want revenge!” White Snake screamed sternly.
