"Du Jun! I was wrong! I know I was wrong! Please forgive me!"
The scholar who was taken to the waist-cutting platform was frightened to death. He was not afraid of death, but he really did not dare to suffer the punishment of being cut in half. It was too scary.
Before the soldiers could execute the execution, the scholar felt a rush of heat in his crotch, and he was so frightened that he peed in front of everyone in broad daylight.
"Haha..."
Mu Baichuan couldn't help laughing when he saw this, "Aren't you not afraid of death? Aren't you clamoring to sacrifice your life for the holy way of Legalism? A person who is not even afraid of death is still afraid of being cut in half?"
The other party felt ashamed and angry, and he just wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
"Execution!"
Following Mu Baichuan's order, the soldiers prepared to cut him in half.
"Ah!"
With a scream, the scholar was so frightened that he fainted on the spot and fell unconscious.
"Hmph! Something in the way!"
Mu Baichuan waved his hand, and powerful talent and power swept out, blowing away the scholar who was cut in half.
Many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that Du Ning did not really intend to cut the scholar in half, but to scare him.
This person saved his life, but the punishment for others was extremely painful, and they were knocked unconscious.
And the young Juren who was "connected to the heart" couldn't help the excruciating pain, and also fainted and fell unconscious.
From ancient times to the present, very few scholars from aristocratic families have been punished.
Even scholars from aristocratic families who have committed serious crimes can, because of their family privileges, use many other ways to express their guilt and meritorious deeds. Therefore, most of the punishments are used on ordinary people, who generally do not have the privilege of being exempted from punishment. But today, Du Ning made these so-called scholars from aristocratic families taste the pain of punishment.
Du Ning looked at the old Jinshi man and sneered: "Old sir, would you like to have a taste of 'ten fingers connecting hearts'?"
The old Jinshi man said with fear on his face: "How dare you! I am a scholar, a scholar from a noble family, and a scholar protected by the Holy Court. How can you abuse lynching against me!"
"Who asked you to hinder me from performing my official duties here?"
Du Ning said bluntly: "Don't you Legalists believe in using punishment to stop punishment? I suddenly feel that your ideas are very reasonable, so let's try to use your ideas."
"You..."
The old Jinshi's face turned red for a while, and he felt like there was something stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say a word.
Du Ning is treating others with their own medicine!
In the name of obstructing official duties, these people will be given severe sentences.
Aren’t you advocating the ideals of Legalism? Then use the punishments you advocate to deal with you.
"I have the privilege of a noble family. Even if I am at fault, you cannot torture me!" the old Jinshi man said loudly.
"That's why you do whatever you want by taking advantage of this so-called privilege!"
Du Ning said angrily: "It's the same concept of using punishment to stop punishment. Why can't you scholars bear the punishment that ordinary people need to bear? Is your so-called 'punishment to stop punishment' targeting everyone, or just just
Targeting the common people? Sir, please answer me!"
"I...I..."
The old Jinshi man looked ugly. If he answered that the idea of "stopping punishment with punishment" was for everyone, then he deserved to be punished. If his answer was for the common people, then he was telling everyone that the philosophy of Legalism was on the opposite side of the common people.
, the so-called 'punishment with punishment' is just a big joke.
"Du Jun, why are you so aggressive?" the old Jinshi asked.
"It's you who are threatening each other with your lives!" Du Ning hit the nail on the head.
The old Jinshi man lowered his head, but then suddenly ran away. Once he was tortured by Du Ning, his reputation would be ruined.
For Legalist scholars, those who commit crimes should be punished, and those who are punished are criminals, so the old Jinshi will never allow themselves to suffer such humiliation.
"Take it!" Du Ning ordered unceremoniously.
"Get the order!"
Mu Baichuan dodged and came to the old Jinshi, spitting out the ancient sword and pressing it against the old Jinshi's chest. His eyes were extremely cold, "Old sir, are you running away in fear of crime? If you dare to run away again, you will only end up dead."<
/p>
The legs of the old Jinshi man were trembling. He couldn't explain why a scholar met a soldier. Military scholars only knew how to obey the orders of soldiers. They would kill as soon as a military order came out. The person who gave the order would bear the blame. The Holy Court could not punish Mu under any circumstances.
Baichuan, so Mu Baichuan has no such worries and can do whatever he wants.
He even had no doubt that he was really driving the military scholar in front of him into a panic. Even if that ancient sword couldn't kill him, it would still cost him half his life.
Mu Baichuan quickly sealed the old Jinshi's literary palace and carried him back to Du Ning, "Du Jun, the prisoner has been brought."
When he heard the word "prisoner", the old man Jinshi turned red with anger and hurriedly defended: "Nonsense! I am not a mortal, so don't try to taint my innocence!"
Du Ning said calmly: "I dare to ask, old gentleman, are those who obstruct officials from performing official duties in public, are they considered criminals?"
The old Jinshi man was stunned in place. According to the philosophy of Legalist scholars, obstructing law enforcement officers from performing official duties is a felony.
Because the old man Jinshi and others threatened to die, Du Ning directly charged them with obstructing official business and punished them with instruments of torture, applying the so-called concept of "stopping punishment with punishment" on them. For the old man Jinshi,
What a shame!
Mu Baichuan applied the "Ten Fingers to the Heart" technique to the old Jinshi. The pain instantly made the old Jinshi scream, burst into tears, and kept yelling.
"Du Ning! You are so cruel! I have never been so humiliated before!"
"Kill me! Otherwise I will never be done with you!"
"Kill me if you dare!"
"Ah!"
However, not long after the old man Jinshi screamed, he fainted from the pain and fell to the ground, twitching instinctively.
"All the government officials took these people down for treatment, and all the medical expenses were paid by the government."
"We will obey."
The government officials finally learned how cruel Du Ning was and hurriedly took the fainted scholar away.
At this moment, all the scholars watching said nothing and fell into silence.
"Now, is there anyone who stands up and threatens to die? I don't mind letting him experience the torture in the cell to fulfill your legalist holy way." Du Ning said.
Everyone was silent and silent, looking at the instruments of torture with fear in their eyes.
"Since no one objects, I can just go about my business."
After Du Ning finished speaking, he threw the torch in his hand on top of the many instruments of torture.
Suddenly there was a raging fire burning fiercely, making continuous crackling sounds.
The eyes of many scholars were about to burst and they were gnashing their teeth.
