Chapter 321 Do you have any opinions?
"Thank you, Lord!"
Feng Jiuqing paused at the prison door and said coldly: "Don't thank me too early. When you get out, you will be punished as much as you deserve."
"I am willing to accept the punishment."
Han Yuan's voice came from behind. Feng Jiuqing walked around the corner and rubbed his temple. These two were not easy to deal with and caused such a big mess, and he had to clean it up. Every day he was either cleaning up the mess for Mo Ling or for his subordinates. Who is the powerful official?
"Did the Grand Tutor find out anything during the interrogation?" Bai Yunjin asked with a smile as he stood aside.
Feng Jiuqing raised his eyes and glanced at him: "Didn't your Prime Minister Jian give you any advice, Lord Bai?"
Bai Yunjin froze for a moment. His Prime Minister Jian really gave him some advice, but how could the Grand Tutor know about it?
"Grand Master, you are joking." Bai Yunjin still had that smiling look on his face.
"The punishment in the imperial prison is severe, Lord Bai, you have to be careful. Those are all young masters who have never been to a man's house. If you accidentally hurt them, I'm afraid those in the court will come to you to ask for an explanation."
Bai Yunjin's smile didn't fade at all: "Thank you for your concern, Grand Master."
Feng Jiuqing nodded without hesitation. If it wasn't for Prime Minister Jian's face, he wouldn't let anyone interfere in this matter. But since it was Bai Yunjin, he wouldn't be lenient when ordering her around.
"Han Yuan and Wen Cang have been protected by someone. If you want to see them, go alone to prevent them from being assassinated. As for the Ministry of Rites and those new Jinshi, you will be in charge of the trial. After all, His Majesty said that you are the chief judge."
Bai Yunjin's smile froze. The Grand Tutor wanted him to do something that would offend others alone. Tsk, he didn't want to take on this hot potato at all, but the emperor insisted that he take it.
The Grand Tutor has great power, so those people in the court dare not look for him. Ever since that group of candidates were imprisoned, many people have come to his mansion to give him gifts openly or secretly. Now he can only hide in the Imperial Prison during the day, and at night he can only climb over the wall to Prime Minister Jian's residence after dark, and he has to climb over the wall to leave in the morning.
Bai Yunjin feels bitter that he has to get up early and go to bed late, but he dares not say it. He cannot afford to offend any of them, whether it is the emperor, the grand master or his wife. Damn it, he can crush anyone with a higher rank!
"Grand Master, this isn't a good idea, right?" Bai Yunjin said after careful consideration.
Feng Jiuqing stopped, looked at him, and asked softly: "Do you have any objections?"
"No! No! How could it be possible! I will go and interrogate those Jinshi scholars now!" Bai Yunjin immediately straightened his back and left with a righteous look on his face.
This guy is so aware, no wonder he was able to win over Prime Minister Jian, he really knows how to act.
Feng Jiuqing smiled and shook his head, then turned and went to another cell, looking at the person covered in wounds in the cell with complicated feelings.
The man kept gasping for air, obviously in great pain.
Feng Jiuqing asked someone to bring a chair, sat down, and asked without any context: "Do you regret it?"
Wen Cangtian slowly opened his eyes, looked at Feng Jiuqing, and spoke in a soft but unquestionable voice.
"No regrets! I will fight for justice for all the students in the world and for Han Yuan. I have no regrets!"
It's good to be young. Seeing Wen Cangtin's stubborn look, Feng Jiuqing's lips curled up slightly. When he was young, he was as stubborn as this guy, but it seemed like a long time ago.
"Aren't you afraid of being accused of falsely accusing an official of the imperial court, and losing your reputation or even your life?"
Wen Cangtian chuckled and said, "I am afraid, of course I am afraid! But I am afraid today. Who knows, Brother Han's today may be my tomorrow! Brother Han was once a young man with great vigor and vitality, but now he is only thirty years old and has gray hair on his temples. If someone could stand up and help him back then, he would not be like this now. He is a 15-year-old champion!"
"I don't want to become like Brother Han in the future. If I am the only one who can ensure that all candidates in the world can participate in the imperial examination fairly and impartially, then I will die with no regrets."
"There are many dark shadows in this world, light me up as a wick!"
Wen Cangtian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. There seemed to be a towering mountain in his eyes, and nothing could make him retreat.
Feng Jiuqing was silent for a while, then he said, "Not a bad ambition, but you are not suitable for officialdom. If you can pass the imperial examination, go back and open an academy. Da Yue needs more people like you."
Feng Jiuqing stood up and left after he finished speaking. Wen Cangtian suddenly said, "Wait!"
Feng Jiuqing stopped and looked back at him: "What's the matter?"
"Aren't you here to interrogate me? Why are you leaving before the interrogation?"
Wen Cangtian leaned against the wall behind him to avoid falling to the ground. In such severe pain, his voice was as light as floating smoke that was blown away by the wind.
"You really want to be tried?"
Wen Cang smiled and said, "The sooner the examination is completed, the sooner Brother Han can comfort the souls of his entire family in heaven, and the candidates can rest in peace sooner."
"I understand."
Feng Jiuqing was reluctant to leave, but was stopped by Wen Cangtian again: "What do you know? Why don't you interrogate him?"
"No need, I know everything you know."
