Chapter 485 Someone Wants to Kill Father
Mr. Yuan briefly told Zhou Ruiyuan about his situation.
Zhou Ruiyuan said slowly, "Since that's the case, you shouldn't go back in the future. It's better not to stay in that kind of home. If you stay any longer, they'll probably skin you alive."
Mr. Yuan's face showed a slight sadness as he nodded and said, "Lord Zhou is right."
Zhou Ruiyuan looked into the academy and asked, "Where is Master Qingyang?"
Mr. Yuan was slightly surprised. He looked around and said, "I just saw him here. How come he's gone?"
Zhou Ruiyuan stopped in his tracks, his face darkening.
Hai Qingyang has a special status, so he can't afford to make any mistakes.
Just as they were wondering...
A black figure suddenly leaped in through the doorway.
Hai Qingyang, dressed in black, slammed the man and woman he was carrying onto the ground.
Mr. Yuan looked closely and realized that these were his uncle and aunt.
He exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Qingyang, what's going on?"
Hai Qingyang is a man of few words who prefers to get things done.
He stepped on Yuan's uncle's back, put his arms around his waist, and said, "Don't they owe you and the villagers money? I've brought them here!"
"Where did you capture him from?" Mr. Yuan asked in surprise.
Hai Qingyang clapped his hands and said quietly, "If these two want to get to the capital, they naturally have to take the official road or a boat. I found them on the marsh."
As he spoke, he kicked one of the two men.
Yuan's uncle and aunt were covered in dirt and looked quite disheveled.
They pleaded with Mr. Yuan for help: "Good nephew, please come and save us! This guy is a madman! A madman!"
Hai Qingyang stomped hard on the wound on Yuan's uncle's back, letting the blood flow down his shoe little by little, causing Yuan's uncle to be unable to say a word in pain.
Mr. Yuan was startled. He felt a pang of heartache at first, but when he thought about how the two of them had deceived him for so many years, causing him to fail the imperial examinations, a sense of hatred rose in his heart. He clenched his fists and did not step forward again.
Zhou Ruiyuan walked over slowly and asked the two men from the Yuan family, "Do you owe the villagers money?"
Aunt Yuan nodded repeatedly, "That's right, we do owe them money, but we will pay it back. Please let us go!"
Zhou Ruiyuan said with a cold face and a serious expression, "It seems that you have to repay not only the money you owe the villagers, but also the money owed to your nephew."
Mr. Yuan gives them money every month, and over the years it has accumulated to a considerable amount.
Yuan's uncle and aunt remained silent.
Hai Qingyang stomped on it again.
Yuan's uncle was in so much pain he almost fainted.
Left with no other choice, the two of them had to agree to return all the money to Mr. Yuan.
Yuan's uncle and aunt searched their entire bodies and finally took out ten taels of silver, plus twenty taels of silver from the villagers.
They had originally planned to take the silver to the capital to seek refuge with Yuan's maternal aunt's family, but now it seems that their plans have fallen through.
Mr. Yuan wasn't going to be a pushover. After carefully keeping the silver, he told Hai Qingyang to release them and that he would have no further dealings with them.
Mr. Yuan had no parents and was already all alone.
It's fine without these two relatives.
Yuan's uncle and aunt nodded repeatedly, and finally kowtowed twice to apologize.
Seeing that it was about time, Hai Qingyang released the two of them.
Mr. Yuan handed the twenty taels of silver to Zhou Ruiyuan, saying, "Lord Zhou, please return this silver to the villagers on my behalf."
Zhou Ruiyuan took the silver and said slowly, "Okay."
Hai Qingyang walked slowly over and bowed respectfully to Zhou Ruiyuan.
Mr. Yuan was quite surprised, thinking that even when meeting the county magistrate, such a grand ceremony was unnecessary.
However, in Hai Qingyang's eyes, no matter who Zhou Ruiyuan was, he would always be the most honorable prince.
Yi'er and Yu'er both witnessed what just happened.
The two little children didn't seem to be frightened by the blood; on the contrary, they grew to like this Mr. Qingyang more and more.
Zhou Ruiyuan wanted to take them home, but they were all somewhat reluctant.
Yi'er and Yu'er insisted on staying at the academy.
Zhou Ruiyuan didn't press the matter further, feeling quite gratified that his two children would surely succeed in the future with such good teachers.
At night, Yi'er and Yu'er pestered Hai Qingyang to teach them light-body skills.
Hai Qingyang treated them even better than his own sons. Not only did he agree, he also took them flying around on the rooftop a few times.
When it landed on the roof of a small warehouse.
Hai Qingyang suddenly stopped. They heard someone talking inside.
"Are you certain that Magistrate Zhou is indeed His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"That's right, exactly."
"Very well, his life must be taken within three days!"
"Yes, Master!"
Hai Qingyang's expression changed, and he quickly turned to look at the two children beside him. The two children listened attentively, without showing any fear or making any movement.
This was the first time they had learned about their father's identity from outsiders.
The two children didn't seem particularly surprised; on the contrary, their eyes became more composed than usual.
