Chapter 1287 Disgraced 2
"What a great He family! What a great He family! It's really eye-opening."

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

Angry curses arose.

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

"Master, don't be in a hurry to deny yourself. 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. After Zhang Rui's affair was exposed, the dean 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 a lot.

"The office of the Minister of the Court was searched and Li Wei was sentenced to death. Li Su was sentenced to death. The male members of their collateral branches were exiled, and the older female members were sold as slaves, while the younger ones 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.

The scholars and gentlemen from all sides were staring at him.
The gentlemen still looked angry. Although the scholars were disappointed with the He family, some of them tried to explain 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 relatives in the mansion, including those from other branches, were exiled. They were escorted away the day after the verdict was announced. As for the female relatives..." 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 in his ears, and his ears were buzzing as if he had tinnitus, his chest was stuffy, and his eyes were 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 with bloodshot 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 with sobs and was reluctant to say the rest of the words, feeling more afraid than before.

The teacher 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 was shaken, and his eyes were cloudy and panicked when he opened them: "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 also me who had his body thrown into the mass grave... It was me, it was all me..." Li Xi broke away from the instructor, stumbled, his voice trembling.

The people standing in front made way for him when they saw this, and were all surprised when they heard Li Xi's words 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.
