Seeing Zheng Chaoyang begging for mercy from Du Ning, other bachelors also started begging for mercy.
"We realize our mistake and ask Mr. Du to spare our lives. We are willing to voluntarily go to the Three Realms Mountains to redeem ourselves and perform meritorious service."
"Mr. Zheng is a great scholar of Confucianism and Taoism, and we are all great scholars of Confucianism and Taoism. Now our human race is in the midst of employing people. Please ask Mr. Du to put the overall situation first!"
"Jun Yunqi, please be kind to us and forgive our sins."
At this moment, these Confucian and Taoist academics were crying with runny noses and tears. Their faces were full of regret, and they truly regretted what they had done.
They knew very well that the executioners outside the court were already prepared. Just waiting for Du Ning's order, the government officials would push all of them out and behead them in public to show their punishment.
"Du Jun, please spare my life! Du Jun, please have mercy!"
"Please Du Jun, please show mercy!"
"Please forgive their sins!"
At this moment, there was another group of people kneeling on the ground outside the courtroom, constantly saying words of begging for mercy.
They were all relatives of Zheng Chaoyang and others. They knew that Zheng Chaoyang and others had committed heinous crimes, but they did not want their relatives to be killed, so they came to plead for mercy.
"Bang!"
Du Ning patted the scaffolding gently, using his literary courage to block out the voices begging for mercy, and said loudly: "If I had known today, why would I have done it in the first place? As scholars, you have been taught by saints and respected by the people. During your tenure,
I should abide by the rules, solve problems for the people, and be a good official loved by all the people. I never thought that you would collude with the government officials, accept a lot of bribes, oppress the local people, and commit various crimes. Today, in the name of Lanzhou Prefectural Mu, I,
I will judge you on behalf of the people of Lanzhou."
"The chief culprit, Zheng Chaoyang, must be executed immediately!"
After Du Ning finished speaking, Zheng Chaoyang felt like he was being beaten. Although he was prepared in his heart, he still could not accept that he would be sentenced to death by Du Ning.
A sense of fear arose spontaneously, and Zheng Chaoyang began to lose his mind.
"I'm not convinced! I'm not convinced!"
"I am a great scholar and a pillar of the human race. I should have the right to make meritorious deeds. How can you sentence me like this?"
"Du Ning, I have no enmity with you, why do you want to put my life to death!"
Zheng Chaoyang let out a hysterical roar and looked at Du Ning with eyes full of anger and dissatisfaction on his face.
"It's a good person who has performed meritorious service for his crimes. As a great scholar, you can't make decisions for innocent people, nor can you seek justice for the victims. Even if you are allowed to go to the Three Realms Mountains, you will only collude with foreigners to harm your compatriots. What qualifications do you have to perform meritorious service for your crimes?"
The corners of Du Ning's mouth raised slightly, revealing a sarcastic look, looking down on Zheng Chaoyang very much.
"Well said! People like Zheng Chaoyang will only collude with foreign races even if they go to the Three Realms Mountains, because he has no ordinary people in his eyes. How can he fight for our human race?"
"That's right! It's not a pity to die for such a person. Killing Zheng Chaoyang would be more useful than letting Zheng Chaoyang go to the Three Realms Mountains to collude with foreign races."
"We must not let him go. This kind of person is really vicious. If we don't kill him, the people will not be angry."
Many people spoke one after another, not wanting Du Ning to let Zheng Chaoyang go.
Zheng Chaoyang was immediately furious. He didn't expect that Du Ning would slander his moral character so much. He actually said that letting him go to the Three Realms Mountains to perform meritorious service would only lead to collusion with foreign races. This is the biggest insult to Zheng Chaoyang!
"That's unreasonable! Du Ning, you can't slander me like this. I'm a human being and there's absolutely no way I would collude with other races. How can you humiliate me like this in broad daylight?"
Zheng Chaoyang yelled angrily, his whole face looked red and extremely ugly.
"Humans? Haha...a joke! What a big joke!"
Du Ning said loudly: "As a great Confucian scholar, you colluded with government officials and allowed scholars from aristocratic families to bully poor students. As the dean of Lanzhou Academy of Literature, you not only failed to support justice for the people, but instead helped aristocratic families to bully poor students.
, in front of all the scholars in Lanzhou City, in front of all the folks in Lanzhou City, how can you dare to say that you are a human being? If you are a human being, why do you help evil people to bully good people? Evil people
Among good people, you choose to be friends with evil people and enemies with good people. Then between human races and alien races, how would you choose to be friends with human races? How would you choose to be enemies of alien races?"
"What nonsense! What nonsense!"
Zheng Chaoyang's whole body was trembling, his eyes were red, and he said to Du Ning: "These are completely two different things. How can you confuse them?"
"These are indeed two different things, but they can also be treated as the same thing. You stand up for evil people instead of supporting good people. You can trample the law for your own selfish interests and turn a blind eye. Zheng Chaoyang, I would like to ask
Just tell me, if your grandson was bullied in the liberal arts college, if your granddaughter was bullied, what would you do?"
"I...I am..."
Zheng Chaoyang's pupils shrank slightly. If anyone dared to bully his grandson and granddaughter like this, he would definitely skin the evildoer and let those evildoers know the great scholar's anger.
However, this kind of thing will never happen. Who has the strength to move Zheng Chaoyang's relatives?
"Precisely because it is not your close relative who is being bullied, you will not have any compassion. If you had done anything in the liberal arts academy, you would not have ended up like today. You are not worthy of being a scholar, let alone a human being!
”
Du Ning slowly drew out the order. Once the order landed, the officials would drag Zheng Chaoyang out and behead him.
"You...really want to kill me?"
Zheng Chaoyang looked directly at Du Ning, "I am a great scholar of the human race! Even if the crime is extremely heinous, even if it means being beheaded, it still needs the approval of the Great Confucian Hall of the Holy Academy. Du Ning, you can't cut off my head!"
"The Holy Court has entrusted this case to the Lanzhou Yamen with full authority to implement the power of life and death according to the "New Laws of China". The Holy Court has given the Lanzhou Yamen this power, and I can kill you. Only in this way can we punish the evildoers in the world.
A warning, you, get on the road!"
After Du Ning finished speaking, he threw the ticket on the ground.
As the order made a sound as it landed, the officials on the left and right immediately stepped forward and took Zheng Chaoyang away.
"Du Ning! If you dare to kill me, you will not die well! You will not die well!"
"You are such a rebellious and unethical thing, how dare you kill a great scholar!"
"God will definitely rain down a thunderbolt and hit you!"
Zheng Chaoyang was led to the guillotine. The executioner slashed his head and his head fell to the ground.
Until he was about to die, Zheng Chaoyang's face was full of disbelief, not believing that he, a great scholar, would die on the execution ground, on the guillotine.
