Chapter 716: Counter-Calculating Leads to Doom (1)_1
The Imperial Edict had come, and no one could stop the guards who came to arrest people. Amidst the cries of Xin Er and others, Mo Qingze was still taken away. However, thanks to Chu Heng’s intervention, the guards didn’t dare to use chains. They maintained Mo Qingze’s dignity in public.
No one expected such a thing to happen on a day of great joy, and everyone’s mood was quite subtle. Mr. Liu, Han Zhiyun, and several masters knew full well the strength and character of their friend (student) and didn’t believe for a moment that he would cheat.
"Don’t worry too much, Yanyan and your siblings. Uncle Han believes in your father’s innocence! Rest assured, once I return to the city, I will investigate thoroughly and do everything in my power to clear your father of these charges and save him," Han Zhiyun said solemnly to the five Mo Yan siblings, speaking earnestly.
Coming from a distinguished family, with several uncles and brothers in the court, Han Zhiyun wouldn’t find it difficult to look into these matters. He could also utilize his family’s connections to prevent Mo Qingze from suffering in jail.
As she comforted her younger siblings, a warmth filled Mo Yan’s heart. She stepped forward and deeply bowed to Han Zhiyun, "Yanyan is immensely grateful for Uncle Han’s help!"
Seeing this, the younger siblings also bowed and thanked him, "Thank you, Uncle Han!"
Han Zhiyun hurriedly helped them up, feigning anger, "Why are you doing this? Do you see Uncle Han as an outsider in your hearts?"
Mr. Liu also said, "You children shouldn’t stand on ceremony with your Uncle Han. He’s your father’s friend, and it’s only right for him to help your father! Uncle Liu doesn’t have the capabilities of your Uncle Han, but I can only try to mobilize the students to jointly petition the court for a thorough investigation into the academic cheating case, to uncover the truth and clear your father’s name!"
"Count me in, too, Brother Jianan," Shen Ji said to Mr. Liu, bowing deeply and speaking sincerely.
