Chapter 1299 Evidence
The prefectural yamen was busy with one thing after another early in the morning, and each one was a hot potato. Li Xi's disturbance made them even more panicked. The outcome of the case had passed the emperor's approval, and the trial was also decided by the emperor.
Li Xi's surrender to overturn the verdict was a slap in the emperor's face.
However, Li Xi surrendered himself in broad daylight, and they had to try him. After much hesitation, they asked someone to postpone the execution of Li's father and son, and detained Li Xi and took him to the palace to ask the emperor for a decision.
When everyone compared the affairs of the Minister's Mansion with the deeds of the He family, wow, they really had similarities in many ways, and their methods were as if they were carved from the same mold.
In just one morning, the He family's reputation was ruined. How could such a teacher produce any good students?
The students who came down the mountain were so ashamed that they could not even lift their heads when they heard insults. They hurried home to ask their families to help them withdraw from school.
Who would have thought that a respected century-old family would secretly use such dirty and vile methods? Alas!
Changyang Palace.
Prince Changyang was also shocked when he received the news. The He family prided themselves on having strict rules, and in his opinion, they were all a group of old-fashioned people who abided by the rules. He never expected that they would do such dirty things in private.
Prince Changyang couldn't help but sneer when he recalled the He family's previous mockery of their generals for being bloodthirsty and having committed many sins.
"Father, what are you so happy about so early in the morning?"
As the voice rang out, Nan Xiang jumped into the hall.
Prince Changyang turned around and saw Nan Xiang's posture, glaring: "Where did you learn the usual etiquette?"
"Rules are for outsiders to see. It's so tiring to follow all the rules at home." Nan Xiang went up and took his arm.
Prince Changyang wanted to say something, but when he looked up, he saw Princess Changyang and Ye Qianning walking into the hall one after another.
"Now I know how much of a headache it is. You always protected me when I was being naughty and aggressive before." Princess Changyang complained helplessly.
Prince Changyang sighed and looked at Ye Qianning with some surprise in his eyes: "Little girl, how come you have time to come to the mansion today?"
Ye Qianning bowed and said, "I haven't seen the princess for a long time, so I came to see her."
"Did you take the gentlemen to Loushan yesterday?" asked Prince Changyang.
"It was hard to refuse Dean He's invitation. My master is old and it's not convenient for him to go up and down the mountain, so I accepted the invitation."
"Are the rumors outside true?" Prince Changyang knew that it was Ye Qianning who went to Loushan, and he knew clearly in his heart that the affairs of the He family and Li Xi were all caused by her.
"Exactly."
"Tsk, I never thought the He family would be so corrupt." After getting confirmation, Prince Changyang felt even more sad for the He family.
"What rumor?" Nan Xiang asked.
"The matter between the Minister's Mansion and the He family." Ye Qianning had been hearing noisy voices since he woke up.
Nan Xiang immediately understood: "Yes, today is the execution day of Minister Li and his son. Aning, let's go and take a look."
She was determined to throw two rotten eggs at the murderer who murdered Master Zhang to vent her anger.
"Xiang'er." Princess Changyang called Nan Xiang who was about to leave.
Nan Xiang had only taken two steps and was about to pull Ye Qianning along when she turned around and saw Princess Yingshan Changyang's gaze. She smiled and said, "Mother."
"There are too many people in the capital, so you should stay out less. Qianning finally came to the house, but mother hasn't had a good talk with her yet." Princess Changyang walked over and pulled Ye Qianning to sit down.
"It's okay. There are many people and soldiers in the capital, so there won't be any chaos. Besides, we won't stop coming after we finish watching the execution."
"You really don't listen to anything I say." Princess Changyang sighed.
“No way…”
