Chapter 1286 Disgraced

A group of instructors following Li Xi received the order and immediately walked towards Ye Qianning in a menacing manner.

"ah……"

“Ouch…”

When the instructor was still two meters away from Ye Qianning, a breath of air came out, and the instructor was all blown away by the huge internal force.

The screams also awakened the scholars who were still in shock.

Ye Qianning's detailed account of the events was so shocking that not only the scholars and literati were shocked, but even the gentleman who followed Ye Qianning up the mountain was so shocked that he was speechless.

Although the He family has lived in seclusion in Beili for many years, their wise and wise family has always been respected and admired.

I didn't expect that so many vicious things would happen in private.

"You...you...who are you to dare to take action on Mount Lou?" Li Xi shouted angrily at the middle-aged man who was standing in front of Ye Qianning.

The visitor glanced at Li Xi coldly, not taking her seriously, and turned to Ye Qianning and bowed: "Miss."

"Uncle Dachun, why are you here?" Ye Qianning was a little surprised.

"The master asked me to protect the young lady. He also said that our Zhan family is not without people, and we can't let others bully us." Dachun said in a loud voice, revealing his identity.

"With just this group of people, they can't be bullied. Beili, no matter how weak it is, still abides by the law." Ye Qianning said, and turned his gaze to somewhere: "Are you talking about Master Li?"

Li Xi's face flushed with anger: "Of course, the academy has regulations that no one is allowed to use force to injure others in the academy. If the Zhan family attacks and injures others, I will definitely file a complaint with the court."

Ye Qianning laughed: "Master, you know the academy rules? It was someone from your academy who started it, so how can it be our fault from Master's mouth? Could it be that the rules only allow county officials to set fires but not ordinary people to light lamps?"

"You are telling lies all the time and slandering the He family. How can Loushan allow you to be so presumptuous?" Li Xi argued.

"Master Li thinks I'm lying, but I don't agree. Come, write down what I just said and hand it over to the Dali Temple. Make sure they conduct a thorough investigation." Ye Qianning knew what would convince people the most.

"Yes, I'll go right away."

"I also heard what happened just now, Miss. I will ask the master to inform all the princes and officials in the yamen. There are so many cases that the Dali Temple alone is not enough." Dachun continued.

"Indeed, thank you Uncle Dachun." Uncle Dachun is indeed an old fox.

Dachun bowed and disappeared from the spot.

Li Xi's face turned pale immediately. He knew some of the things that the He family had done. The He family was famous and powerful in the local area, so it was easy for them to deal with some things.

The matter was not exposed, but it could not stand up to verification.

Ye Qianning looked at Li Xi: "Master Li, are you satisfied with this?"

Li Xi was so angry that he couldn't speak. At the same time, he also knew that if these things were really thoroughly investigated, the reputation of the He family would be completely ruined.

He was very anxious. If the dean knew about this, how would he have the face to stay in the He family?

When everyone saw that Ye Qianning had reported the matter to the Dali Temple and the He family's master could not say a word of rebuttal, they had more or less made up their minds whether it was true or not.

"It's a pity that the He family still prides themselves on being noble and upright, always adhering to the integrity of scholars. I didn't expect that they would be so despicable in private."

"Tsk tsk, they say the He family protects their shortcomings and that the He family is a family of friendship, but it turns out they are just like this."

"No wonder so many students want to join the He family. The He family does offer a lot of benefits. They can handle everything from abducting women to murder and looting. They are really capable."

"What a shameful name for a prestigious family! Loushan has fallen into this person's hands. No wonder they changed the name of the academy. Otherwise, it would ruin the academy's reputation."

The scholars and literati went from whispering to shouting openly, and the way they looked at the students, teachers and masters on Loushan Mountain changed.

Aside from the elderly master, the younger disciples and the current Loushan students were all unaware of the He family's affairs. It was already difficult to accept such a scandal, and then to hear everyone's discussions and accusations, and even more devastating was the look in their eyes—

They couldn't stand the gaze that was like looking at some dirty garbage.

"Nonsense, nonsense."

The students standing in the back watching rushed forward to refute everyone, and then looked at Li Xi: "Master Li, what she said is not true, right?"

Right?

When a person is questioning himself painfully, the balance in his heart has already tilted, and questioning is just a superficial appearance.

Li Xi tightened his lips and couldn't utter the word "fake".

There were some things Ye Qianning said that he didn't know and wanted to refute, but there were some that he did know, so he didn't dare to refute.

After weighing the pros and cons, he kept silent about the truth and instead looked at Ye Qianning angrily: "What is your intention in smearing the He family like this?"

"We'll know if it's an attempt to discredit the Dali Temple if we investigate. The teacher is so anxious, maybe you're feeling guilty." Ye Qianning walked over.

"you……"

"Master, do you know what the Li family's current situation is?" Ye Qianning interrupted Li Xi's angry words.

Li Xi's face froze with anger for a moment, and he said angrily: "What does this have to do with you?"

"Of course there is a connection. Master Zhang is a highly respected teacher in the academy. The real murderer is still at large and is spewing filth. The He family is truly capable."

After Ye Qianning finished speaking, all the shocked and scrutinizing eyes around him were focused on Li Xi, obviously they had heard some of the meaning behind his words.

Li Xi staggered back a few steps, and the instructor behind him quickly supported him.

"Master Li is the real culprit in the murder of Master Zhang at the Minister's Mansion, right? In order to protect you, He Yuting went to the palace to ask the emperor to forgive you and put all the blame on the Minister's Mansion. In order to protect his own disciples, He Yuting pushed others into hell. The He family's means of exoneration are really the same as in previous incidents." Ye Qianning said.

When mentioning Zhang Rui, Li Xi's lips trembled. Zhang Rui's words before he fell into the water seemed to echo in his ears, and his body trembled slightly unconsciously.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Many foreign students did not know the relationship between Li Xi and the Minister's Mansion, but they all knew that the Minister's Mansion had been struck by lightning.

It was even more mysterious. After investigation, the government office discovered that Master Loushan had died tragically in the Minister's Mansion a few months ago and his body was thrown into the wilderness.

Everyone agreed that the Master had done good deeds and accumulated virtue during his lifetime, and that God could not bear to see him die tragically, so he sent down thunder from the sky to punish the Minister's Mansion.

There are many versions of the rumor, but this one is the most believed by everyone.

Now hearing Ye Qianning mention this matter, and mentioning that the real murderer of Master Zhang was Master He, people are shocked and curious at the same time.

Since it was Master Li who killed the person, why did the lightning strike the Minister's Mansion?

The scholars did not know the relationship between Li Xi and the Minister's Office, but the gentlemen all knew that many of the middle-aged gentlemen who went up the mountain this time had taken classes from Zhang Rui and he was their teacher.

When they learned that Master Zhang had died tragically and his body had been thrown out, they wished they could cut the murderer into pieces. A few days ago, they heard that it was the Minister's Mansion who did it. During the trial, they kept an eye on the case until the Minister's Mansion was sentenced to death, and they felt better.

Now that he heard that Li Xi was also involved, he became very angry.
