Chapter 1287 Disgrace 2

"What a great He family! What a great He family! It's really eye-opening."

"Hypocritical, dirty, and full of morality and ethics, it's disgusting."

Angry curses arose.

Li Xi suddenly came back to his senses and tried to argue: "Nonsense, there is no grudge between me and Zhang Rui, so how can there be any talk of murder?"

"Master, don't be in a hurry to deny it. I have already said it, and I have evidence. Let me ask you, Master, do you know the result of the trial in the Minister's Mansion?" Ye Qianning asked.

Li Xi did not speak immediately. Since Zhang Rui's affair was exposed, the dean had put him in solitary confinement and assured him that the He family would ask the emperor to suppress the matter.

He knew that Zhang Rui's status was much lower than his. Even if the dean went to ask the emperor for help, the Minister's Mansion would definitely suffer.

"The Minister's residence was searched and the sentences of Li Jue and Li Su were both sentenced to death. The male members of their collateral family were exiled, and the older female members were sold as slaves, while the younger female members were sold as prostitutes." Ye Qianning recounted the verdict in a light-hearted manner.

Li Xi's heart trembled, and the hairs on his body stood up. There was horror and disbelief in his eyes: "No... Impossible."

"The government issued a notice a few days ago. If you don't believe there are so many people in front of the mountain gate, you can ask them." Ye Qianning kindly reminded.

Li Xi looked at the people around him blankly.

Scholars and men of letters were all staring at him.

The gentlemen still had angry expressions on their faces. Although the scholars were disappointed with the He family, some of them tried to explain their doubts to Li Xi when they saw his inquiring gaze.

"The Minister and your son have indeed been sentenced to death, and the execution date appears to be tomorrow."

"All the male members of the mansion, including those from other branches, were exiled. They were escorted on the road the day after the verdict was announced. As for the female members..." The scholar found it difficult to speak.

"The day before yesterday, I saw that all the young women in the Minister's Mansion were sent to Chunxiang Tower."

Li Xi listened to the words around him, and his ears were buzzing as if he had tinnitus, his chest felt stuffy, and he felt dizzy.

"Master, Master..." The two instructors quickly grabbed the man.

Li Xi closed his eyes for a few seconds before calming down. He opened his eyes, and there was blood in his eyes. He reached out and grabbed the instructor who was supporting him, his voice trembling: "He... are they telling the truth? The whole family of the Minister's Mansion really..."

He choked up and didn't say the rest of the words for a long time, feeling more afraid than confident.

The instructor looked reluctant, but nodded stiffly.

"You all know... you all know... why don't you tell me..."

"The dean has ordered that no one is allowed to disturb the master while he is in confinement," said the teacher.

Li Xi closed his eyes, feeling hopeless.

"The Minister will be executed tomorrow, Master Li, you must go down the mountain early. If you miss the time, you may never see him again in this life." Ye Qianning's cold voice sounded.

Li Xi's heart trembled violently, and when he opened his eyes, they were cloudy and panicked: "No, it has nothing to do with the Minister's Mansion. It's me, it's me... Go down the mountain, I want to go down the mountain."

"Master, you can't go down the mountain...Master." The instructor grabbed him.

"Let me go, I want to go down the mountain, I want to ask to see the emperor. It was me who pushed Zhang Rui into the lake, and it was me who had his body thrown into the mass grave... It was me, it was all me..." Li Xi broke free from the instructor, stumbled, and his voice trembled.

Seeing this, the people standing in front made way for him and were surprised to hear what Li Xi said with their own ears.

It turns out that Master Zhang was murdered by a disciple of the He family. The entire Minister's Mansion held the murderer to account, but the murderer was safe and sound in Loushan... The He family really protects their own people.

Then they thought about what Ye Qianning had said before, and at this moment they were very sure that it was all true.
