Chapter 365 Mutual Slander
Can't!
He had finally come this far, and he absolutely could not let anyone ruin his bright future.
Chu Zhuangyuan hurried forward to help Qin Hui.
Liu Li is a brainless guy, as long as he appeases Qin Hui.
He doesn't need to worry about Liu Li at all, as he will follow Qin Hui's lead.
"Brother Qin, what's wrong with you? This is in Kyoto City. Who would harm a student from Jinzhou like you? Get up quickly."
Taking advantage of the opportunity to support Qin Hui, Chu Zhuangyuan whispered in Qin Hui's ear: "Qin Hui, don't make trouble. Now is not the time for you and Liu Li to enter the mansion."
Qin Hui pushed Chu's top scholar away.
Chu Zhuangyuan's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Qin Hui with a warning look.
Chu Zhuangyuan didn't know yet, but the warning look in his eyes was like a death warrant in Qin Hui's eyes.
"Brother Qin, what are you doing? Could it be that you're having a hysterical attack because you're not used to the climate in Kyoto?"
There was a hint of gnashing of teeth in Chu Zhuangyuan's words.
Qin Hui completely broke down and said, "Your Majesty, it was he who wanted to harm the students."
"Just now, when he was helping the student, he took the opportunity to threaten the student in his ear, telling him not to make trouble, and also said that now is not the time for Liu Li and I to enter the mansion."
Chen Zhao's face immediately darkened. "Are you serious about what you said? Why would the champion want to harm you? I just heard that the rooms you and Liu Li stayed in at the Liuyun Inn were all paid for by the champion. If he wanted to harm you, why would he pay for you?
I know the room rate at Liuyun Inn is not cheap.
If you can't explain why the top scholar wants to harm you, then you are slandering him.
This ungrateful person will never be allowed to step foot into my palace again, nor will I offer him any help even for the sake of being from the same hometown."
Shen Zhao's words were truly shocking, especially for Qin Hui and Liu Li, they were even more fatal.
Chu Zhuangyuan's face was tinged with a hint of pride.
He knew that Chu Mu would never turn his elbow outward and help an outsider.
"Brother Qin, I understand that you are confused since you just arrived in Kyoto, so I won't bother with your false accusations against me."
"Brother Qin and Brother Liu, the most important thing for you two right now is to prepare well for the exam and strive to achieve excellent results in the imperial examination to bring honor to your family, rather than coveting things that do not belong to you. While it's still early, you two brothers should quickly return to the Liuyun Inn to pack your bags and get some rest."
Chen Zhao also praised: "The number one scholar is worthy of being a member of the Chu family." He was lying with his eyes open and was just as cruel and ruthless.
To Qin Hui and Liu Li, this praise was like a death warrant.
Yu Zihuan, who had been silent all this time, finally understood what his brother was going to do.
This is to make Qin Hui and Liu Li become enemies with Chu Zhuangyuan.
They are of the same nest, and it's time for them to fight each other.
But he had a doubt in his mind. How did his brother know that it was these two people who took out the purse from under his pillow?
Could it be that my brother can predict the future?
Qin Hui couldn't help it.
"Your Highness, Chu Zhuangyuan really wants to kill me and Liu Li. Your Highness must trust our two students."
Chen Zhao's tone was a little colder than before, "You keep saying that the champion wants to harm you. Why would the champion want to harm you? Can you provide evidence to prove that the champion has the intention to harm others?
If not, you know that you are making a false accusation. If the top scholar investigates the matter, you will go to jail.
What His Majesty cares about most is the character of the students. Qin Hui, have you thought about it?"
Listening to the prince's cold tone, Qin Hui knew that if he did not expose the evil deeds done by Chu Zhuangyuan today.
Even if he and Liu Li walked out of the General's Mansion safely today, Chu Zhuangyuan would not care about them anymore.
Moreover, their reputation has been completely ruined by the prince. If they want to rely on the prince to gain a foothold in Kyoto, forget it.
Qin Hui then said:
"Your Highness, I have evidence!"
"The reason why Chu Zhuangyuan wants to harm me and Liu Li is because I and Liu Li have something on him."
Qin Hui then made a false apology to Yu Zihuan, saying, "I'm sorry, Zihuan. Back then, Liu Li and I were forced by Chu Zhuangyuan to steal the silver from under your pillow. We then placed the purse and silver he gave us under your pillow.
Please, Zihuan, forgive Liu Li and me. If we don't do this, Chu Zhuangyuan will rely on the power of the Chu family to expel Liu Li and me from the academy and expel us from Jinzhou.
Can you please not bother with me and Liu Li because we are both victims?"
He spoke sincerely.
He described himself as a victim, rather than a perpetrator.
Before Zihuan could even speak, Chu Zhuangyuan angrily shouted:
"Qin Hui, stop talking nonsense!"
"You are trying to frame me and harm you, but you are throwing dirty water on me and ruining my reputation."
"It's a shame that I truly consider you and Liu Li my close friends. I even brought you two with me to Beijing to prepare for the exam."
"This is how you repay me!"
Shen Zhao watched this scene with pleasure. Let’s slap each other in the face and hurt each other!
Qin Hui was furious when he saw Chu Zhuangyuan's accusation.
"Chu Zhuangyuan, you hypocrite, stop making yourself sound so noble."
"You brought us both to Kyoto City not on your own accord, but at our request."
"The reason you paid our rent is because we have evidence that you framed Yu Zihuan."
"Back then you..."
Qin Hui wanted to continue speaking, but the old patriarch said in a deep voice:
"Qin family boy, our top scholar treated you well, yet you framed him like this. Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to explain to your clan members when you return to Jinzhou?"
Qin Hui immediately understood the old patriarch's threat.
Although the Qin family does not rely on the Chu family for their livelihood in Jinzhou.
But the Qin family is far inferior to the Chu family.
The hatred on Qin Hui's face deepened.
If he compromises today, tomorrow will be the day he and the Qin family die.
"Old Patriarch, there's no need to intimidate me."
"Your Highness, I have kept the silver and money that Chu Zhuangyuan gave us as a replacement, as well as Yu Zihuan's worn-out purse."
As he spoke, a sneer flashed in Qin Hui's eyes.
"I even kept the money and letters that the top scholar gave me."
Back then, he and Liu Li each led Yu Zihuan away.
One person stayed behind to steal and exchange Yu Zihuan's money.
He was the one who stayed behind at that time.
He was careful and kept the ten taels of silver and the purse.
He also deliberately wrote a letter to Chu Zhuangyuan to threaten Chu Zhuangyuan to give him money.
As he asked for it more and more times, Chu Zhuangyuan gave it to him from the first meeting.
In the end, I impatiently wrote him a letter and sent him some money.
He did not throw away any of the letters he exchanged with Chu Zhuangyuan over the years and kept them carefully.
He even brought it with him when he came to Kyoto.
As he spoke, Qin Hui took out the purse of Yu Zihuan that he had exchanged that year from his pocket.
Inside was the money Qiuniang paid for selling her body so that Yu Zihuan could take part in the provincial examination.
Chu Zhuangyuan looked at the purse and Qin Hui holding it with bloodshot eyes.
This villain actually hid so many tricks from him.
He had also asked about the silver and money that was exchanged, but the beast said that Yu Zihuan's things were in tatters and he had lost them.
He spent the silver.
Shen Zhao's voice suddenly rose a few notches, and he said with a bit of pressure and anger:
