Chapter 367 The weather is getting cold, the Chu family is going to die
"My cousin is guilty, please punish him."
Chu Zhuangyuan spoke righteously.
Shen Zhao asked with interest, "What crime have you committed, number one scholar? Why do you want me to punish you? I am not someone who cannot distinguish right from wrong."
A sneer flashed in Chu Zhuangyuan's eyes, he knew he won.
But we have to do all the work that needs to be done.
"My cousin, the top scholar, is guilty of concealing the truth. He knew that Zihuan was wrongly accused by Qin Hui and the others, but out of selfish motives, he didn't want his friend to be punished or have his next exam affected, so he didn't stand up to clear Zihuan's name. This is one reason."
"Secondly, the top scholar shouldn't have shown mercy to Qin Hui. He not only refused to repent but also became even worse, becoming such a black-hearted person. If the top scholar had helped him reform earlier, he wouldn't have become what he is today. It was the top scholar's connivance that made Qin Hui become such a despicable person."
"And he even showed up at the General's Mansion, disturbing my cousin's recovery!"
Not only did he do it perfectly, but he also spoke flawlessly, showing his kind and righteous character in front of his cousin and Lord Ji.
He didn't believe that his cousin would punish him, and he felt sorry for the injustice he had suffered.
Qin Hui was completely dumbfounded.
Not only was he used by Chu Zhuangyuan, but he was also helping Chu Zhuangyuan establish a perfect image in front of the prince.
This would be more painful for him than letting him die immediately!
"Your Highness...Your Highness! What Chu Zhuangyuan said was all lies. It was really him who ordered his students and Liu Li to frame Yu Zihuan."
As he spoke, Qin Hui looked at Liu Li, who had been hiding aside and not daring to say a word.
He said anxiously, "Liu Li, please speak up. Tell the prince the truth about what happened back then."
Liu Li shrank his neck. Although he was stupid, it didn't mean he was dumb.
He was able to pass the imperial examination thanks to the Chu family. Now it is obvious that Qin Hui is at a disadvantage, and he would help Qin Hui at the risk of his life.
He thinks Liuyun Inn is pretty good.
He stammered, "Brother Qin, what are you talking about? I... I don't know."
Chen Zhao looked at Liu Li, who had been pretending to be frightened. He was not stupid.
Know how to avoid the important and focus on the trivial.
Qin Hui never expected that Liu Li would betray him and pretend to be confused.
He roared, "Liu Li, do you really think that if you don't tell the truth now, Chu Zhuangyuan will forgive you? You are too naive."
"If you can't defeat Chu Zhuangyuan today, tomorrow will be the day you and I die."
"Liu Li, I have treated you well. Even if not for me, you should stand up for yourself."
Chu Zhuangyuan took over and said, "Qin Hui, are you still stubborn and unwilling to change your ways?"
"You are you, and Liu Li is Liu Li. He didn't ruin my reputation or harm me, so why would I want to harm him? Don't try to sow discord between us."
He was telling Liu Li that as long as he was obedient, he would never touch him.
Chen Zhao really wanted to applaud Chu Zhuangyuan. Chu Zhuangyuan instigated Liu Li to rebel with just a few words. She saw the gleam in Liu Li's eyes.
"Liu Li, that's not what you said just now. You said the champion wanted to harm you. Have you forgotten that?"
Shen Zhao kindly reminded.
Liu Li suppressed the panic in his heart and kowtowed to Chen Zhao:
"I was forced to say that just now. It was Brother Qin who asked me to say that."
"The Liu family relies on the Qin family for survival in Jinzhou. If I dare not obey Brother Qin's wishes, my Liu family will be in danger in Jinzhou."
He followed Qin Hui's lead not because he had a close relationship with him, but because he wanted the Liu family, which depended on Qin for survival, to survive.
Obviously, now that the Qin family and the Qin Society are about to cease to exist, he doesn't have to worry about these things anymore.
He who knows the times is a hero. As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no fear of running out of firewood.
Since Chu Zhuangyuan has already told the general that he will not be touched, he is safe.
Unless he is stupid, he would not seek death like Qin Hui.
Qin Hui couldn't believe what he heard.
Liu Li is such a loser. Not only did he betray him, he also stabbed him in the back!
"Liu Li, you coward, do you think you can survive if you don't speak?"
"Qin Hui, shut up!" The old patriarch immediately stopped Qin Hui.
"Liu Li still has a conscience, unlike yours which has been eaten by a dog. My top scholar has a kind heart. How could he be as despicable as you say, and harm the life of an innocent person?"
Then he turned to look at Liu Li, "Don't worry, young man from the Liu family. Since you are willing to clear the name of the champion today, my Chu family will never treat you and the Liu family unfairly. When I return to Jinzhou, I will definitely pay a visit to the Liu Mansion to thank you for everything you have done for the champion in Kyoto City."
This is the promise the old patriarch made to Liu Li.
It also gave Liu Li a reassurance, allowing him to stab Qin Hui without any scruples.
Qin will know that his situation is hopeless and he will soon be finished.
But he was unwilling to give in. It was obvious that it was not only him who did the evil deeds, but also Chu Zhuangyuan and Liu Li. However, the two of them were now keeping an eye out and pushing him into an irretrievable situation.
How could he be willing to accept this!
The weather is getting colder, and the Chu family in Jinzhou is about to perish!
He's going to die anyway, so why not take a few people with him!
"Your Highness, Heaven will not bless me, Qin Hui! This is a dead end, so I, Qin Hui, will risk it all."
Qin Hui's eyes turned cold, and he smiled sinisterly at Chu Zhuangyuan and the others:
"Students want to sue Chu Zhuangyuan, Chu Tanhua, Chu Bangyan, Liu Li, and others for cheating in the imperial examination!"
Shen Zhao and Ji Yuan instantly perked up and looked cold. The cheating in the imperial examination was different from the little fight just now.
A single move can affect the whole body.
Cheating in the imperial examination is not something that these few students can control. There must be officials above who control all of this.
"Qin Hui, what nonsense are you talking about! Do you want to live?" Chu Zhuangyuan never expected that Qin Hui would be so determined as to risk his life.
"Qin Hui, stop talking nonsense. We have never harmed you in the slightest. How can you drag all of us into this?" Chu Tanhua wished he could go forward and sew Qin Hui's mouth shut. How could he say such nonsense?
Especially in front of my cousin and Lord Ji.
This Lord Ji has served as the chief examiner of the imperial examinations twice!
"Qin Hui, if you want to die, don't drag us with you. Cousin Qin Hui is desperate and wants to drag us down with him." Even Chu Bangyan, who was beaten unconscious, woke up instantly and broke out in a cold sweat on his back.
"Brother Qin, it's all my fault that I, Liu Li, can no longer do what you want. But you can't just blindly accuse innocent people and drag them into this mess."
Liu Li was also terrified. Qin Hui was completely disregarding everything. Not only did he risk his own life, he also ignored the Qin family.
Qin Hui raised his head to the sky and roared with laughter, "You beasts, are you all scared?"
His eyes suddenly became fierce, "You all want me dead, how can I let you go before I die?"
After saying that, Qin Hui looked straight at Shen Zhao, with no more fear in his eyes. He was going to die anyway, so why should he be afraid of others?
"Your Highness, I have evidence that these people cheated in the imperial examination, because I was one of them."
"Qin Hui!" Chu Zhuangyuan suddenly shouted.
"You're crazy! If you don't think about yourself, don't you think about your siblings at home?"
"Cousin, don't listen to Qin Hui's nonsense. The imperial examination is a matter of state. Who dares to cheat on this matter?"
Everyone wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Shen Zhao's sharp voice:
