Zhao Han looked at the verdict in front of him and his heart suddenly sank.
It turned out that he couldn't escape death after all.
He knew very well in his heart that there must be a very powerful force behind the scenes who wanted to kill him.
And it can also be said that he has great connections.
Who will this person be?
Li Boyan?
He thought about it carefully and realized that what the Minister of Justice Li Boyan said when he came to see him today was obviously not false, and he really wanted to save him.
So this is simply impossible.
You have to know that Li Boyan was born in a poor family. There was no need for him to die and thus be hated by the Second Prince.
Or maybe the power behind it is just too strong.
It even far exceeds the power of the Minister of Justice, so even Li Boyan has to listen to him.
Maybe in the morning, Li Boyan really wanted to save his life, but someone behind him gave the order, so he had to let himself die?
But there doesn't seem to be such a possibility. After all, Li Boyan needs to be wary of the other party.
It is also impossible to let myself die in the prison of the Ministry of Justice.
I died in the prison of the Ministry of Justice tonight. Li Boyan must be involved, and this matter will definitely be framed on him.
It was impossible for him to make such a decision.
So who else could it be besides Li Boyan?
The second prince?
It's possible, but the possibility is not great...
Zhao Han couldn't help but think with self-mockery that he was the chief disciple of Tianling Academy.
After all, he has a certain status in Tianling Academy or in the capital.
Compared to killing himself, winning himself over is obviously the best option, and it can also do more for the person behind him.
But now he was facing a cup of poisoned wine.
So... the other party has no use for me at all. Is it because they are too powerful and have no use for a small figure like me?
Zhao Han stared at the pot of poisoned wine on the plate, his heart sinking more and more.
Now I have been working for the second prince.
Moreover, the second prince had praised me a lot before and even gave me a lot of things, which clearly showed that he wanted to use me more.
If I die at this time, it will be extremely disadvantageous for the Second Prince.
Not to mention that the Second Prince will lose the support of those poor students from Tianling Academy.
The second prince probably knows the principle of "the dog is cooked after the rabbit is dead".
After I die, the Second Prince will be of no value, so there is a high possibility that he will be targeted even more miserably, and even die a more miserable death than me.
So who could it be?
Zhao Han frowned tightly. He thought hard for a long time but couldn't figure out who was the force behind this.
But he also figured out one thing, that is, the force that wanted him dead must be more powerful than the Second Prince.
After all, Zhao Han still felt a little regretful. Maybe he didn't go back that day to compete with Huang Junfeng.
Or maybe he had not joined the Second Prince's camp and had not gotten involved in this complicated situation.
Maybe I will still live well.
Although he is only the chief disciple of Tianling Academy in name only and has no real power, his life is definitely safe.
Zhao Han sighed again at this time.
No matter what, since I can't escape death tonight, I might as well not think too much about it.
And if the other party is targeting the second prince, then the fate of the Great Zhou Dynasty will probably change.
"Alas... it's a pity that I still have a lot of ambitions that I haven't realized yet."
Zhao Han sighed, drank the poisoned wine in self-mockery, and set off on his journey.
The prison boss who had been guarding outside heard a thump from inside the cell and rushed over to check. He saw that Zhao Han had already fallen to the ground, with no obvious rise and fall of his chest.
He was still a little worried, so he asked the jailer next to him to go in and test it out.
Seeing that Zhao Han was really dead, the jailer smiled coldly.
--------
Zhao Han is dead!
the next day.
The news first spread in the prison, and then reached Li Boyan's ears.
Li Boyan had just arrived at the yamen, and he was even thinking about going to see Zhao Han later to ask him if he needed anything.
But his trusted subordinates came immediately to tell him the news.
"What? Zhao Han is dead?!"
When Li Boyan heard the news, his face turned ugly and cold sweat kept coming out on his forehead.
He grabbed his confidant by the collar, stared at him fiercely and said, "What's going on? Tell me quickly!"
You know, Zhao Han is a very important person to him.
It can even be said that as long as Zhao Han's life can be saved, his future career will definitely be very smooth.
But now Zhao Han is dead, and he not only did not get any benefits.
It is even possible that you will have to bear a big blame!
How could Li Boyan not be afraid?
His confidant also spoke nervously at this time: "Sir, Zhao Han is indeed dead. We have just checked and found that he died last night, and he died of drinking poisoned wine."
"Poisoned wine?" Li Boyan couldn't help but frowned when he heard this.
"Follow me to the prison cell!"
He walked quickly, leading his trusted men towards the cell, even jogging a bit.
It was impossible for Li Boyan not to be anxious. No matter what, Zhao Han must not die.
Moreover, Su Yuanwu had already told him about this matter, but now he had messed it up.
He couldn't explain to Minister Su!
Soon, Li Boyan and his men came to the cell where Zhao Han was and saw the body covered with white cloth inside.
His pupils shrank slightly and his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
"It's over, it's all over!"
"Damn it, which bastard did this? He's trying to kill me!"
Li Boyan stomped his feet in anger.
He went forward to check Zhao Han's body and found that he had indeed died last night.
At this moment, he couldn't help but become even more angry. If Zhao Han died last night, why didn't the jailers in the cell come to report to him!
What a bunch of losers!
At this moment, Li Boyan suddenly caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye and saw a piece of paper placed next to Zhao Han.
He felt something strange and picked up the paper.
"The judgment document?"
"Tianling College student Zhao Han committed a heinous crime, intentionally killing someone, and was given a cup of poisoned wine to drink before he died?"
"Wang Meng...you bastard!"
Li Boyan was instantly furious because the judgment document was written in Wang Meng's own handwriting, and the seal of the Ministry of Justice was also stamped underneath.
It was clearly that bastard Wang Meng who sentenced Zhao Han to death!
He was even more furious because he had clearly explained everything to Wang yesterday, and Wang Meng had agreed very seriously.
But who knew that the others did not kill Zhao Han, but it was his own people who killed Zhao Han! (End of this chapter)
