Tan Yuan was already extremely angry at this time.

"you!"

However, at this moment, Li Boyan didn't even bother to look at him.

Tan Yuan took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and then felt a little self-deprecating.

"Haha, I'll just leave! I can't stay in such a corrupt government office."

"It is said that noble families are corrupt and decadent, but you poor people are even more unruly when it comes to doing things!"

He snorted coldly and left the yamen.

Tan Yuan knew that this matter was no longer something he could interfere with.

However, I think other noble groups and aristocratic families will definitely not sit idly by.

He knew very well in his heart that whether he was there or not, these people from poor families would never be able to save Zhao Han.

After Tan Yuan left, Li Boyan picked up the teacup and took a sip, as if trying to suppress the unhappiness in his heart.

"It's really lawless. Who is he to dare to be so disrespectful to me?"

"Once this matter is settled, I will report him at the morning court. By then, he will have no chance of being the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice."

Then, Li Boyan turned his gaze directly to Wang Meng.

He warned without disguising, "No matter how Zhao Han's case is handled, he must not be allowed to die. Do you understand?"

"If Zhao Han dies, the Second Prince will completely lose the support of those poor students at Tianling Academy."

"You and I both come from humble backgrounds. If we can save Zhao Han this time, we will have a bright future. Do you understand?"

When Wang Meng heard this, he was delighted and nodded quickly.

"I understand! Lord Shangshu, don't worry, I will definitely save Zhao Han's life!"

After saying this, he left the yamen and went directly to his own office.

Wang Meng is also a clever man. After listening to Li Boyan's words, he knew how to deal with this matter.

Since the Minister has already said that Zhao Han’s life must be saved no matter how the trial is conducted, there is no need for a trial.

Watching Wang Meng leave, Li Boyan's angry heart finally calmed down. The previous quarrel with Tan Yuan had made him very angry.

Although he is Tan Yuan's immediate superior, Tan Yuan comes from a noble family and has a strong background, so he does not dare to target him openly.

But after this matter is over, the power of the aristocratic families will definitely weaken, and the poor families will rise. By then, he can impeach Tan Yuan and probably remove Tan Yuan from this position.

By then, Li Boyan could also place another person of his own in the position of Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

Wang Meng was trained by him personally, and he promoted him step by step from a low-level official to the position of Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

It can be said that Li Boyan is Wang Meng’s benefactor.

Without him, there would be no Wang Meng, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

After this matter was over, he would take advantage of the situation and make the entire Ministry of Justice his own one-man show!
--------

Wang Meng quickly brought Li Boyan's order and issued a verdict on Zhao Han's case, and stamped it with the seal of the Ministry of Justice.

At the same time, Zhao Han in the Ministry of Justice prison also received the news.

The person who delivered the message to him was a jailer, who was also Li Boyan's man.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhao. Our Lord Shangshu has spoken. You will definitely not die."

"The Minister is worried that you are nervous, so he sent me here to give you a message."

When Zhao Han heard this, he immediately stood up and bowed to him in gratitude.

"Thank you."

After the jailer left, Zhao Han slowly sat down. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

When he was brought back by Minister Li this morning, because there were many people around, Minister Li did not clearly state what his attitude towards him would be.

However, after coming to this cell, he vaguely understood.

The Shangshu must have come to help him. After all, such a luxurious cell is not something a suspect can live in.

Now that the Minister had specially sent someone to deliver a message to him and to assure him that he would not die, he finally put his heart at ease again.

Zhao Han thought about it carefully and thought that it should be the Second Prince or Minister Su who gave the order.

But no matter what, now that he has saved his life, he will surely be able to turn a disaster into a blessing in disguise and continue to climb higher in the court in the future.

As he thought of this, Zhao Han's originally nervous heart completely calmed down. All of a sudden he felt sleepy again and fell into a deep sleep.

"Boom!"

I don’t know how much time had passed, but Zhao Han was awakened by the sound of knocking on the cell door.

He rubbed his eyes and looked towards the window of the cell. It was already dark outside.

Is it evening already?

"Wake up, old man!"

The prison boss outside sounded very impatient.

Seeing that Zhao Han did not come towards him respectfully, he immediately ordered his men beside him to pour a bucket of cold water into the room.

"Wow!"

Zhao Han couldn't dodge in time and instantly became a drowned rat.

He was furious and immediately shouted outside, "What are you doing? Do you know who I am? How dare you do this to me!"

"Who are you? You're just a death row inmate. Why should I kowtow to you?"

The prison boss outside was very disdainful, and then took a plate of food from the jailer next to him.

He stuffed it in through the gap under the cell.

"This is your last meal and a pot of poisoned wine. The Minister has given instructions to prepare some delicious food for you, all of which are delicious fish and meat."

The prison boss stood outside with his hands folded, leaning against the prison door, and said with a chuckle, "After you have this meal, you can go with peace of mind."

"what?!"

After hearing these words, Zhao Han was suddenly shocked, and then a cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.

"The last meal of execution? Are you sure? Your Lord Shangshu has guaranteed that I will not die."

The prison boss shrugged and said, "This is something that we small-time characters don't know. We only follow the orders from above."

"If you don't believe me, there is a verdict next to the food. It has the seal of the Ministry of Justice on it. Take a look for yourself."

"By the way, the wine in the flagon is poisonous. I don't think we need to teach you. If you don't want to be decent yourself, then we can only help you be decent."

After finishing speaking, the jailer left immediately.

Zhao Han felt that he had no strength in his whole body. He couldn't even take a step and almost fell to the ground.

He forced himself to stay awake and almost had to hold on to the wall to get to the prison door.

He saw the judgment document on the lunch plate at a glance, but the distance was too far and the contents could not be seen clearly.

But underneath is the seal of the Ministry of Justice!

Zhao Han panicked instantly, picked up the judgment document and began to read it carefully.

"The suspect Zhao Han killed people for no reason. His crimes are too numerous to list... Considering his status as a scholar, I give him poisoned wine to let him go so that he can have some dignity." (End of this chapter)
