At the Lunar New Year’s Eve in the 3rd year of JIAQING Era, QIANLONG as usual writes calligraphy with words of blessings at the Yangxin Hall and bestows it upon his son JIAQING. He also tells JIAQING to write something for HESHEN, to which JIAQING dares not to oppose. At HESHEN’s Villa, the representative of East India Company finally has an opportunity to meet up with HESHEN, the “Vice Emperor”. HESHEN is attacked by a mystery man at night, and he is certain that General ZHANGJIA AGUI is behind this. So, he leads his troops to arrest that person, and they end up having a big fight. When QIANLONG goes out to enjoy the snowy view, the cape he wears spontaneously catches on fire all by itself! HESHEN claims it’s very unusual. With himself being attacked and the cape catching on fire all by itself, he believes that they are intended targets.
