Confiscated and exiled?Phew, I emptied the warehouse first

Chapter 406 Framed
Li Ziyue's face was pale and sweat was dripping down his forehead.

He is a scholar, and what scholars care about most is reputation.

He originally thought that he could use his reputation as a scholar to handle this matter without any big problems, and he could also pay off his brother's gambling debts in one go, so he took on this harmful task.

But now, when the evidence was before his eyes, he began to be afraid.

This kind of behavior of framing others is despised by scholars. Once everyone knows the truth, his reputation will be damaged. According to Fang Jiu's temperament, he might be expelled from the academy.

By then, he will no longer be able to survive in Shilu County.

At least there is no place for him among scholars.

However, he couldn't ignore the situation before him. The tense muscles all over his body made him feel oppressed.

He knew that if he told even one lie, he would face a situation worse than death.

He struggled for a while, but still stammered:
"I, I was the one who framed the Su's shop."

"My brother owed a gambling debt, and a classmate gave me some money, saying that I should pay off the debt. His purpose was to make me ruin the reputation of Su's shop."

Li Ziyue was a little excited when he spoke, and he continued: "That man is Li Xingan's brother. Li Xingan's family was hurt so badly by Su Mo, and he just wanted to avenge Li Xingan."

"It's unfair. Zui Xiang Lou is Li Qi's property. What crime did Li Xing'an commit? In the end, he is being condemned by everyone!"

Li Ziyue's indignant look made people feel that he really reached a psychological resonance with Li Xing'an.

It seems that although he harmed people, his actions were not completely unreasonable.

But the next sentence directly tore his hypocrisy apart: "If what I have found is correct, when Li Qi was in trouble, you, Li Ziyue, also encouraged the students of the academy to jointly submit a petition to Study Room 9 to have Li Xing'an removed from the academy."

Li Ziyue looked at Hou Hou with horror. This man was simply a devil. She didn't even have any secrets in front of him.
