Chapter Three: A Spark of Fire(1/2)

Qin Yuan walked into a prison that had nothing to do with cleanliness.

My foot accidentally touched a dirty bowl. There was still unfinished porridge in it, and it had condensed into lumps. It was dark and looked very disgusting.

Qin Yuan carefully walked around and stopped five feet away from Tan Zhuangfei.

He just looked at Tan Zhuangfei and said nothing.

Tan Zhuangfei slowly opened his eyes and looked for a while before he recognized Qin Yuan and asked weakly: "Is there anything else, historian?"

"Today I met Marshal Wei and asked him a few questions. I need you to verify it here."

As soon as Qin Yuan finished speaking, Tan Zhuangfei seemed to have come to life, and he sat upright with an excited expression, his thin body that was almost like a bamboo pole.

He gritted his teeth and cursed: "Weiting is a thief who betrayed the emperor and ruined the reform..."

Qin Yuan asked a question, but Tan Zhuangfei didn't answer and just kept scolding Wei Ting.

Qin Yuan frowned.

To be honest, Tan Zhuangfei's spirit is very admirable, but his method of changing the law is too crude.

The top-down reforms at the end of the dynasty did not first quench the thirst of the poor by drinking poison, but directly weakened the interests of the upper class. This was enough to seek death, and they also wanted to take down the most powerful person through a coup. Wei Ting was crazy.

with them.

After waiting for a while, Tan Zhuangfei finally calmed down.

Qin Yuan quickly recounted the conversation with Wei Ting.

"Is there anything he said that is different from what you know?"

"No"

Tan Zhuangfei's voice became hoarse due to dryness.

Qin Yuan took off the water hyacinth he brought with him and carefully fed Tan Zhuangfei water.

After a while.

"you sure?"

Qin Yuan secretly hoped that Tan Zhuang would cheat Wei Ting.

"I...I'm sure"

Tan Zhuangfei's voice was obviously not as hoarse as before.

This is an honest person.

Don't hurt anyone in the dark.

That's why his end was so tragic.

No matter which world, honest people are always hurt.

"Farewell"

"Um"

Qin Yuan took one last look at the other party, left the cell, and walked towards another cell in the distance.

On the way back from Jincheng, he discovered from the note given by Shao Guilin that the person to be recorded today was Lin Yidong. A person more ruthless than the radical reformer Tan Zhuangfei, who directly rebelled.

Dozens of warriors dared to attack the heavily guarded Governor's Palace of Guangdong Province (equivalent to a province).

Before coming, Qin Yuan specially got to know Lin Yidong and adopted him to his uncle since he was a child. His uncle was a scholar, and Lin Yidong had a photographic memory. He hoped that he could take the imperial examination and become an official in the future.

When he entered the examination room for the first time, Lin Yidong wrote on the examination paper "A young man does not want to be a prince of ten thousand households", and he refused to take the imperial examination again.

Later, I don’t know where I learned powerful martial arts.

Join the cause of rebellion.

Fortunately, Dahun's control over the place is very weak now.

Even if he uses a pseudonym, his uncle's family will definitely be tricked to death by him.

With a crash, the cell door was opened.

Qin Yuan saw Lin Yidong lying on the ground with his pipa bone locked inside.

He received a much heavier sentence than Tan Zhuangfei.

Maybe it's because of his high martial arts skills.

Maybe it's because he doesn't have a governor-general father.

"I am the recordkeeper of the Zuo History Academy, a historian who specializes in recording words and deeds."

Qin Yuan said.

Historian.

Lin Yidong, whose eyes were a little brighter, wanted to sit up.

However, the injury was too severe and the attempt failed.

Qin Yuan went over to help him, but he pushed him away.

After many times, he finally sat up, his eyes widened, and he looked straight at Qin Yuan, with blood flowing from his forehead, and said with an indifferent expression: "Do you dare to write down everything I said?"

"I am a historian, this is my responsibility, no one dares to do so"

Qin Yuan said calmly.

Say so.

There are some things that Qin Yuan would not dare to memorize randomly.

"Bring me a chair, I want to sit down and talk."

He said breathlessly.

We need to record it later. No need for Lin Yidong to say, there will also be tables and chairs. Qin Yuan waved his hand.

The tables and chairs were moved in by the jailer.

Lin Yidong struggled to get up, but failed several times. Qin Yuan went to help him, but he pushed him away. He tried to help him again, but was pushed away again. This happened again and again, but Lin Yidong did not refuse again.

The moment he sat down, blood was dripping down his trousers.

"Just ask"

He held his chin high like a judge.

He is so young and so energetic.

He has a heroic and youthful spirit that is rare for people of this era.

It makes people feel good just by looking at it.

"You have a good appearance and a good family background. Why?" Qin Yuan paused: "Rebellion?"

"The country is so weak that it is beyond control. If we cede territory today and give out new coins tomorrow, the noble officials will stick to the old ways, and the people will be ignorant and will not rebel, is there any hope for this country?"

Lin Yidong said very excitedly.

He is completely a passionate young man with no selfish motives.

"There is news that you used Haidong Kingdom's money as funding."

Qin Yuan asked again.

Haidong Kingdom is a country to the east of the Daqun. It was once pressed to the ground and rubbed by the Daqun. In recent years, it often went to the offshore to burn, kill and loot while taking advantage of the civil strife in the Daqun.

"Took it" he admitted without hesitation.

He smiled again, "Of course we know Haidong Kingdom's tricks. Haidong Kingdom will regret it in the future."

He looked confident about the future.

Qin Yuan couldn't help but ask: "Do you really believe that the group of people behind you can do better?"

As a person of later generations, the latecomers are even more assholes. He has seen too much.

Lin Yidong smiled brightly, raised his chin a little more, and his expression became more confident: "If they don't do well, naturally a new group of people will rise up to overthrow them.

As long as one generation after another continues, those in power will continue to give in."

The chains made a clattering sound in response to his excitement.

At this moment, it was as if a pure god had come to the world.

Qin Yuan was silent for a long time before continuing: "Some ministers want to spare your life."

This is not nonsense.

Some of Lin Yidong's ideas are things that many ministers want to say but dare not say.

Of course, more people want Lin Yidong to die because most ministers have no ability to solve the problem.

"No need," Lin Yidong said decisively.

It was as if death was not a big deal in front of him.
To be continued...
