Chapter 82 Justice is Here
Upon seeing this, Master Jin and Master Huang immediately shouted:
"What nonsense are you all talking about! Do you want to be expelled from the academy?!"

"How dare you slander the teacher in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Are you trying to rebel? Get out!"

All the students knelt on the ground, their bodies trembling slightly. It was obvious that they were afraid, but no one backed down.

Because they know this is their last chance.

"Bitong Academy is the highest institution of learning in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. How can you slander it here? The teacher taught you to study and be polite, but you are not grateful and lie to destroy the teacher's reputation. Don't you want a future?"

Dean Zhang immediately turned around and pointed at the students in the hall with anger.

The last sentence was clearly threatening.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will only come here once, and after he leaves, the fate of these students will still be in the hands of the academy.

At this time, a small number of students had already begun to move towards the door, looking unwilling but helpless.

"Stand up and speak."

Jun Yanci saw that Dean Zhang and the teachers also wanted to stand up. His ink-clear peach blossom eyes were as deep as a pool and exuded coldness.

"Did I call you to get up?"

Dean Zhang and the teachers straightened their knees and bent them again, kneeling on the ground without daring to look up.

When the students saw Jun Yanci treating them differently, they gained more courage and spoke up one after another.

"Student Zong Jun reported that Master Sun exploited students and abused his power many times. He made us work for him, clean his house, and even asked us to wash our socks! He would beat and scold us at will if we didn't do what he wanted, and even threatened us with our future!"

"Student Ding Shiming reported that Master Jin privately accepted gifts and bought and sold places, and recommended the students who gave gifts to participate in the examination."

"Student Du Xingyuan reported that Master Zhao tampered with the test papers and graded them arbitrarily. All of his students were awarded excellent grades, while the other students who did not give them gold or silver were only average or even failed."

"student."

The countless crimes were revealed one by one like a fig leaf, revealing the rottenness of the Bitong Academy, which was shocking.

But this is not all. After hearing what the last student said, Yun Qianyi behind the screen put down the teacup in his hand, and his eyes revealed the same coldness as Jun Yanci.

The student was seen wearing a white sash on his head, a white robe, his hands crossed, kneeling at the front.

"Student Yi Qingchen reported Master Huang and raped my sister, causing her death. He was selected to be an official, fawned on the powerful, and threatened and extorted money from ordinary people, wantonly humiliating them."

Master Huang was very emotional and immediately retorted:
"You are full of nonsense! I have always accepted many students from poor families as my disciples, and I treat you all equally. This time I strongly recommended you to take the civil service examination, but I didn't expect you to teach such an ungrateful person, who is destroying my innocence with empty words!"

Yun Chengyi remembered this incident. At that time, he specifically asked Dean Zhang about it, and then personally ordered people to reinforce the protective fences around the academy.

"Yi Qingchen, didn't your sister fall and die in the mountains?"

Hearing Yun Chengyi's words, Yi Qingchen turned sideways, knelt down in front of him, and said with red eyes:

"Dean Yun, my sister's body is covered with wounds, and her lower body is horrible to look at. She must have been tortured by the murderer before she died!"

He wiped away the tears that were about to burst out with his hands and continued:
"When my sister first came to visit me, Master Huang harassed her many times and threatened and bribed my sister with my future. The most important thing is that the jade stone my sister was holding in her hand when she died was exactly the missing piece in the middle of Master Huang's jade pendant! The evidence is irrefutable!"

Yi Qingchen originally wanted his sister to leave the academy as soon as possible to prevent anything irreversible from happening, but he didn't expect that he was still a step too late.

"If that's the case, why didn't you report it to the police?"

Yun Chengyi glanced at Dean Zhang, who guiltily missed his gaze.

If Bitong Academy covered up the news in order to protect its reputation, they could have reported the case in Huicheng or Beijing, so why did they delay until now?

"Dean Yun, the prefect of Huicheng is a fellow student of Dean Zhang, as for the capital." Song Shian sneered disdainfully and stopped talking. But everyone present knew who he was hinting at.

"Master Song is right. I have no power or influence. How can I fight against a rock with an egg?"

"Countless poor students in the academy are suffering. Ever since Master Song lost the right to submit a list of candidates for official positions four years ago, everyone has been forced to choose to study under other masters. They have been bullied and treated unfairly for years, but have not been able to get a list of candidates for official positions until now."

"How many more four years do we have in life? The best years of our lives, full of passion and ambition, are ruined here!"

Several students present had already begun to cry silently. Everyone was moved by Yi Qingchen's words. Most of them looked up at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with hope in their eyes.

Jun Yanci turned the jade ring on his left ring finger with his right hand, his eyes were deep, as if a storm was brewing.

It was dead quiet and no one dared to make a sound.

Yi Qingchen suddenly turned around, pulled out the dagger that he had prepared in his sleeve, and rushed towards Master Huang.

Unfortunately, a scholar's speed is always slower than that of a martial artist. At Jun Yanci's signal, Xuan Liu quickly stopped Yi Qingchen. The sound of the dagger falling to the floor was crisp, but his desperate cry was heartbreaking.

"Let me go! I want to kill him! I want to avenge my sister!"

Master Huang slumped on the ground, as if frightened. When he came to his senses, he became angry and said:

"You lunatic! How dare you kill me? I am a scholar with a high rank in the imperial court's official roster. How dare a lowly person commit treason?! The same goes for your bitch sister! It's her blessing that I like her. If her worthless life wasn't worth something, would your name be on the list of candidates for official appointment this time?"

Yi Qingchen used all his strength to break free from Xuan Liu's restraints. He glared at Master Huang with hatred.

"I don't want this kind of dirty quota! I just want justice for my sister!"

Yi Qingchen would rather die in place of his sister than to have gained a future with her blood.

At this moment, the restraints behind him loosened, and a slightly cool hand was placed on his shoulder. Yi Qingchen turned his head and saw that face as beautiful as a god.

"Your Highness, this is the only chance I have. Please help me."

After today, Yi Qingchen didn't know how to avenge his sister.

"Your Highness, Your Highness! Save me, Your Highness. Bitong Academy is the face of the Eastern Jin Academy, you can't just ignore it."

Master Huang knelt down and crawled to Jun Yanci's feet, begging earnestly.

Yi Qingchen gradually showed a look of despair.

Officials protect each other and there is no place to seek redress for grievances.

Jun Yanci leaned forward slightly and took the dagger that Yi Qingchen was holding tightly.

"The hands of civil officials are used to uphold justice for the court and the people, not to use force to kill people."

Yi Qingchen's eyes were dull and his voice was sad.

"For the court and for the people? Where is the justice for the students?"

Jun Yanci looked directly at Yi Qingchen and said seriously:

"At this."

After he finished speaking, Jun Yanci squatted down, stabbed the dagger in his hand directly into Master Huang's stomach, and slashed it down with force.

Disembowelled.
