Chapter 320: Lord, Calm Down
He remembered this person. It was because of him that he had a quarrel with Qingqing, and then Qingqing disappeared.
At that time, he just thought that Qingqing was a substitute, so he left in a daze. Who knew that he would never find Qingqing again because of this!
He has thought very clearly these days that he cannot live without Qingqing, even if he is just a substitute. As long as Qingqing has him in her eyes, he can care less about anything else!
"Come here, call the imperial physician, and make sure this scholar is cured!"
The imperial prison was dark, damp and musty. Feng Jiuqing asked someone to guard not far away before he walked in alone.
Han Yuan was originally leaning against the cell door, bored, and only opened his eyes slowly when he heard footsteps and the sound of the door opening.
The moment he saw Feng Jiuqing, he quickly knelt on the ground: "Master, please calm down."
Feng Jiuqing sat on the chair brought by the secret guard and said softly: "Speak, I want to know everything."
Han Yuan lowered his head, tore open the old scar, and displayed it bit by bit in front of Feng Jiuqing.
After listening to this, Feng Jiuqing was silent for a while before he asked, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Han Yuan lowered his head, with a hint of guilt in his voice: "I'm sorry, my lord. This is Han Yuan's family feud. My lord has done me a favor, and Han Yuan doesn't want to implicate my lord."
Feng Jiuqing looked at the man who lowered his head and dared not look at him, and asked coldly: "What do you mean by implicate? Han Yuan, how do you think you can implicate me?"
"Subordinates, subordinates——"
Feng Jiuqing interrupted him and said, "If you had told me earlier, everyone in your family would have been vindicated long ago and would not have waited until now."
"Do you know what your behavior is called?"
"Stupid! Have you forgotten the rule that people in my house cannot be bullied by outsiders?"
Han Yuan bowed his head deeply: "I haven't forgotten."
Feng Jiuqing paused: "You haven't forgotten? I think you have forgotten it completely! Three years ago, you knew that I was powerful and could do whatever I wanted, but you didn't tell me and waited until I rectified the imperial examination before interfering!"
"You knew that I would root out all those who participated in the imperial examination fraud, so why did you write that article for the number one scholar? Why did you participate in the imperial examination yourself?"
Han Yuan lowered his head and said, "I want to personally avenge the extermination of my family! Since the master has not taken any action, I want to--"
Feng Jiuqing looked at Han Yuan solemnly: "You want to use yourself as a trap to lure the Minister of Rites into the game, and then kill 800 enemies and lose 1,000 of your own? When did I ever teach you to do such a loss-making business, huh?"
Han Yuan lowered his head, because he was afraid that the master would give up, and that the master would no longer be willing to uphold justice for those candidates. Although he knew that the master's character would not allow him to sit idly by, he was still afraid.
So he couldn't wait for his lord to take action, and he had to take action first. No matter whether his lord would take action or not, he would make sure that the Minister of Rites would have no place to be buried.
He had originally wanted to do this three years ago, but at that time the master had not yet retired and the people in the Ministry of Rites did not dare to leak the questions, so he waited in vain.
Today, three years later, the lord is still in the court and they can act so blatantly. If he does not take action, I am afraid that in the future imperial examinations, there will no longer be a place for scholars, as all of them will be occupied by those who collude with officials and businessmen!
He must do this for revenge and for all the scholars in the world!
"I know I am wrong, and I will accept your punishment. But, can you let me see the end of their emperor before punishing me?"
Feng Jiuqing became even angrier. It seemed that he had just said so much, all about how long he had been playing the piano, but this guy didn't listen at all?
"Cinnabar, you are my secret guard. Who allowed you to do this on your own initiative? You dare to make demands after deceiving your master. I haven't punished anyone for a long time. Do you want to try it now?"
"Master, please calm down. Master, I beg you. As long as you let me see their end, even if it means my life, I won't even blink an eye!"
Feng Jiuqing: ...Who wants his life? This idiot doesn't understand what I'm saying!
"Okay, since you have been with me for many years, I agree. Not only that, I can also hand over the Minister of Rites to you for disposal, but there is a prerequisite for all this."
Han Yuan kowtowed and said, "Thank you, my lord. Whatever my lord wants, as long as Han Yuan can do it, I will definitely give it to you!"
Feng Jiuqing had a blank expression on his face: "The premise is that you have to throw away all your plans. Whatever you do from now on, you must listen to me. Do you understand?"
"If you dare to go against my words and reveal that the number one scholar's paper was written by you, then I can only let the Minister of Rites live a long life. Do you understand?"
"My subordinate understands."
Han Yuan gritted his teeth. He originally wanted to reveal that the examination papers of the top two candidates were written by him in order to nail the Minister of Rites, but the consequence was that he would also be punished for participating in the cheating in the imperial examination.
Feng Jiuqing waved his hand, and someone immediately brought good wine and food and placed them in front of Han Yuan.
"People from my Grand Tutor's Mansion never bully others, and we can never be bullied by outsiders, understand? Tell the jailer if there is anything wrong. He is one of the people I arranged in the Imperial Prison, and he will try his best to meet your needs."
