Ministry of Justice, reception room.

At this time, Jixue had no idea at all, and had never thought that Fu Yutang and Feng Xingjun would be so unscrupulous and ready to divert the blame in order to protect their chastity, and would so cruelly choose him as a scapegoat.

At this moment, all his attention was on the file in front of him.

The more he looked, the heavier his expression became.

The more he looked, the paler his face became.

Until the very end, even though it was already summer, he felt a chill lingering in his heart, so cold that he shivered uncontrollably.

The Liu clan members forcibly robbed women in the street, committed rape, intentional homicide, bribery, and colluded with officials and businessmen to obstruct judicial justice...

Liu Qing and his first wife knew about these things, but instead of trying to dissuade him, they chose to cover up and hire someone to kill him...

Case by case, each and every one of them has witnesses, physical evidence, and confessions, and the chain of evidence is very complete.

Jixue read the file carefully several times and could not find any ambiguity, nor any loopholes or errors.

Teacher...he is not wronged at all.

He was able to save his life and was exiled to Shucheng, but the new emperor showed him some leniency because he was a veteran of three dynasties.

Otherwise, if he had committed multiple crimes, an ordinary person would have been beheaded in public long ago.

Jixue lowered her eyes and closed the file with trembling fingertips. She met Yan Zhen's slightly mocking eyes and moved her lips slightly, wanting to say something, but found that she could not make any sound.

In the end, he could only smile bitterly, nodded slightly at Yan Zhen, and left the Ministry of Justice in a daze.

Xiaoyan was waiting outside. When he saw Jixue coming out, he immediately went to greet her.

However, he did not notice that Jiang Yi was holding a stack of books and was about to enter the Ministry of Justice. He bumped into him unexpectedly, and the books in his arms fell to the ground.

"oops!"

Jiang Yi exclaimed and subconsciously reached out to grab it.

Xiaoyan realized that she had bumped into someone, and quickly squatted down. While apologizing, she helped Jiang Yi pick up the book on the ground, blew away the dust on it, and handed it to Jiang Yi, saying with a guilty look, "I'm really sorry, I didn't mean it."

Jiang Yi lowered his head to organize the books, and said without raising his head: "It's okay, it was my fault that I didn't notice there was someone next to me."

Jiang Yi quickly packed up the books, picked up the books, then looked up at Xiaoyan. Seeing the guilty look on his face, he nodded and smiled at him, telling him not to take such a small matter to heart, and stood up to leave.

At this time, he heard the person behind him say, "Sir, have you seen the file? Prime Minister Liu was wronged, right? Did Fu Yutang deliberately frame Prime Minister Liu?"

Jiang Yi paused when he heard this, turned around and looked behind him, carefully sized up the two of them, and asked, "What is your relationship with Liu Qing?"

Xiaoyan saw that the man in front of him had a plain face and ordinary appearance, but his temperament was very gentle and kind, and he didn't look like a bad person. So he didn't hide anything and introduced himself proudly: "My son is Liu Xiang's disciple, Jixue, who is known as the best son in the capital. I am his servant, Xiaoyan. What about you, brother? What's your name?"

"Liu Xiang's disciple? Jixue?"

Jiang Yi did not answer, but repeated it softly.

He was not unfamiliar with the name Jixue.

At present, he is temporarily living in Lord Yan's house. During this period, he often hears Lord Yan mention Jixue. He knows that this person is the one who is bent on overturning the verdict of that old guy Liu Qing, targeting Lord Fu all the time, and has no sense of right and wrong at all!
