The governor of Kyoto looked at Huang Shiren very seriously.

Seeing his eyes filled with sadness and anger, the prefect realized that this matter was actually true.

The governor of Kyoto was even more confused.

You know, in the past, it was the students from poor families who reported the case, saying that the wealthy and powerful families bullied them.

I have never seen a noble family say that they were bullied by the poor.

And the current incident is indeed too big a fuss.

A person from a poor family actually killed a member of a noble family. This is definitely a murder case.

What is going on in the world now?
The governor of Kyoto shook his head helplessly. He was also somewhat helpless about this matter.

He was also aware of the recent developments in the court, but he did not expect things to have reached this point.

"Don't worry, Master Huang. I will send someone to arrest Zhao Han immediately."

After finishing speaking, the governor of Kyoto immediately appointed people to go to Tianling College.

According to normal laws, there is nothing wrong with what he did.

Although he and Huang Shiren were friends, there was a high probability that Huang Junfeng's death was caused by Zhao Han's sword wound.

So from the current perspective, Zhao Han is a suspect, and arresting him for interrogation is completely in line with the legal case handling process.

The governor of Kyoto was also a smart man. He felt that this matter might not be as simple as he imagined.

Perhaps it is the confrontation between the poor and the wealthy.

However, he did not want to take sides in handling the case. At this time, not taking sides was the wisest choice.

Soon, the governor of Kyoto came to Tianling College with his men.

He had just arrived here when he saw the people from the Ministry of Justice just leaving.

The prefect quickly found a teacher from Tianling College to inquire about the situation.

"Why are people from the Ministry of Justice here?"

"By the way, where is Zhao Han from your academy? I need to take him back to inquire about the situation."

When the teacher heard this, he hurriedly said, "You are too late, sir. Zhao Han has just been taken away by the Ministry of Justice."

what?
Has he been taken away by the people from the Ministry of Justice?

There was a look of shock in the eyes of the Kyoto prefect.

He vaguely understood that there was something strange about this matter. You know, the Minister of Justice Li Boyan had a good personal relationship with Su Yuanwu.

At the same time... Li Boyan also came from a poor family.

The governor of Kyoto understood why Li Boyan did this. There was a high probability that he wanted to protect Zhao Han.

After all, there have been many such incidents in the past.

Either the Kyoto government wanted to arrest someone, but he was taken away in advance by the people from the Ministry of Justice, or the Ministry of Justice wanted to arrest someone, but he was intercepted by the Kyoto government.

But since this had happened, he had no ability to fight against Li Boyan, so he might as well go back and tell Huang Shiren first.

The relationship between the two of them is like this. Even if things haven't been done, I still have to give a reminder.

On the way back, the governor of Kyoto couldn't help but think in his heart that Kyoto might be in unrest again.

I don’t know how big a stir Huang Junfeng’s death will cause.

--------

the other side.

In the Ministry of Justice.

The Minister of Justice Li Boyan has now put Zhao Han in prison, but the cell he prepared for Zhao Han is not a shabby one.

In fact, although Zhao Han lived in a cell, the cell was small but fully equipped.

There is everything that should be there, at least Zhao Han won’t suffer any grievances in here.

Except for the lack of freedom, it is no different from the outside. Li Boyan, the Minister of Justice, and Zhao Yuanwu, the Minister of Personnel, have a very good relationship, and he also knows the current situation in the court.

He knew very well that the Second Prince was going to make use of Zhao Han, so nothing could happen to Zhao Han.

We must not let Zhao Han be ambushed in the prison of the Kyoto government office.

For things like this, there was no need for Zhao Yuanwu and the second prince to talk to Li Baiyan.

He has been in the officialdom for so long, if he doesn't even have this little bit of insight, it would be a waste.

Li Boyan knew very well that now all the aristocratic families wanted to kill Zhao Han to give a warning to the children of poor families in the world.

They just want to make an example of someone.

Zhao Han is the chief disciple of Tianling Academy, and he comes from a poor family.

Now, he has even joined the Second Prince, becoming the hub between the Second Prince and the poor students of Tianling Academy.

Therefore, this person cannot die for the time being.

Otherwise, the second prince would lose the support of the poor students of Tianling Academy.

You know, Tianling Academy is the top institution of higher learning in the Great Zhou Dynasty, which gathers the elites among the students from poor families.

Although only a small number of these elites were able to serve as officials in the court before.

But now... times have changed.

With the support of the Second Prince, most of these elites from poor families in Tianling Academy will become officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the future.

These people are supposed to work for the Second Prince and are considered his team.

The current Second Prince has already severed ties with these aristocratic families.

Once the poor students no longer support him, the Second Prince will completely lose his power.

As the Minister of Justice, Li Boyan has no direct relationship with the second prince.

But he knew very well that if the second prince could really become the crown prince.

Then in the future, when the second prince ascends the throne, their Li family will also be protected by the second prince.

After all, Li Boyan also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to gain some benefits for himself and his family.

Just then, Li Boyan's confidant brought him a letter.

When he opened it, he found that it was sent by the Minister of Revenue Su Yuanwu, and the content of the letter was to ask him to protect Zhao Han.

The corners of Li Boyan's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, and then he told his confidant something.

"Go and give Minister Su a message, telling him to rest assured, I will definitely handle the matter properly."

After his trusted subordinates left, an uninvited guest came to the yamen.

Tan Yuan, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, walked up to Li Boyan.

Then he got straight to the point and asked, "The Minister just brought back a suspect, right?"

"As far as I know, our Ministry of Justice has not received any reports, and His Majesty has not said anything either. How can the Minister have any reason to arrest anyone?"

Tan Yuan comes from a noble family and has always been at odds with Li Boyan.

So he was very annoyed about Li Boyan's behavior of protecting Zhao Han.

At this moment, Li Boyan took a sip of tea slowly.

After pausing for several seconds, he raised his head slightly and looked at Tan Yuan who was standing in front of his desk.

"How can you have any say in what I do?"

"He's just a suspect. I can arrest him if I want."

After Li Boyan finished speaking, he glanced at Tan Yuan with a cold look.

"Also, Minister Tan, I am your immediate superior. You'd better be careful about how you speak to me."

Tan Yuan could only suppress his anger and asked through gritted teeth: "Then how does the Minister plan to judge Zhao Han?" (End of this chapter)
