"What can I do? Lord Li is a father and a husband. Doesn't he know what kind of people his family is?" Lord Sun was very calm.
Li Wei clutched the cell tightly: "Impossible, impossible... You must have forced me to confess."
"Lord Li is too confident. I didn't ask a single question, I just stared at him for half a cup of tea, and your son confessed everything." Lord Sun stared at him with a hint of sympathy: "The same goes for Madam Li."
He had never seen anyone confess so quickly before. No one in the Minister's Mansion could keep calm.
"...Stop lying to me."
Li Wei was unwilling to believe it. The matter had become so serious that if they admitted it, there would be a risk of their entire family being wiped out. They should refuse to admit it. Even if they admitted it, they could still deny it and say it was an error.
How could they tell everything?
In this case, can the future of him and his brother, and the lives of all the people in the mansion be saved?
Lord Sun sneered, "If Lord Li doesn't believe me, you can confront me directly. Now, I want to ask you, how did Master Zhang Rui die? And who dumped the body?"
Li Wei's lips trembled, not knowing how to answer.
I'm not sure whether my wife and son have really confessed.
The Dali Temple is very good at manipulating people's hearts when trying cases. If he is not careful, he will be deceived. He cannot admit it.
"Lord Li, please think about it before answering. I am not in a hurry." Lord Sun called the guards to bring a chair.
Li Wei hesitated for a while, then looked up and saw Lord Sun drinking tea leisurely. He made a decision secretly: "Master Zhang died in my house, but it has nothing to do with my house. It was Master Zhang's sudden heart attack that caused his death."
Lord Sun's eyelids twitched, and he looked at Li Wei with even more disdain. "Since Master Zhang had a sudden heart attack, why didn't the family call in a doctor to treat him? Even if he died, why didn't they bury him, but instead chose to abandon his body?"
"Master Zhang resigned from the position of Master Loushan along with Master Chen, which angered the emperor. How could our family dare to make such a big fuss to attend his funeral?" Li Wei seized the opportunity when the emperor angrily dismissed Master Loushan.
Upon hearing this, Lord Sun sneered, stood up, and turned away without saying a word.
Li Wei had already thought of a set of excuses in his mind and was waiting for Lord Sun to continue asking questions, but Lord Sun stood up and left.
"Lord Sun, everything I said is true..." Li Wei shouted with his head tilted.
Lord Sun took a few steps and turned back when he heard the shouting: "I understand Lord Li's explanation. I have sent someone to Loushan to invite Master Li Xi. After the trial, the case will be almost closed."
Li Yimeng: "Master Sun, what's the end? How can it be over before you even have a trial...Master Sun, Sun Shaoqian..."
Watching the cell door close, Li Wei slipped and fell to the ground.
I had a bad feeling in my heart.
In the afternoon, Li Xi, a disciple of the He family, was summoned to the Dali Temple and interrogated personally by Lord Sun.
Li Xi seemed very calm, without the slightest panic. He simply said that he had an argument with Master Zhang that day, and that Li Su accidentally pushed someone into the lotus pond and died.
Li Xi and Li Wei had similar explanations as to why they dumped their husband's body.
The emperor did not like the previous Master Loushan, and if Master Zhang was buried with great fanfare, it would probably anger the emperor.
Lord Sun then interrogated all the servants in the Minister's Mansion. The maids and servants were much more tight-lipped than Li Su and Madam Li. After punishing several of them in front of them, they finally confessed everything they had seen. (End of this chapter)
