After Zheng Chaoyang's head fell to the ground, the other bachelors were also trembling, kowtowing to Du Ning and begging for mercy. They were all scared to death.
"Jun Yunqi, you actually dare to kill the great scholar, you are really treasonous!"
At this moment, an extremely angry voice sounded from the crowd.
Everyone followed the sound and became very curious. Who dared to jump out and scold Du Ning at this time?
A middle-aged scholar appeared in everyone's sight. He looked at Du Ning with an angry expression on his face.
"It is Qin Wengong of the Qin family of the Liao Kingdom."
"Why did someone from the Qin family jump out again?"
"Are you still shameless?"
There were waves of discussion in the crowd, pointing at Qin Wengong.
"Who is making a noise here?" Du Ning asked.
"I am Qin Wengong, a great scholar of the Qin family in the Liao Dynasty."
Qin Wengong raised his head slightly, showing a bit of pride.
"Mr. Qin, what are you doing here?" Du Ning asked.
"Qin had been watching in the crowd for a long time, and he couldn't bear it anymore."
Qin Wengong said loudly: "In any case, even if Zheng Chaoyang is guilty, he is also a great scholar in Confucianism and Taoism. Now that foreign races are eyeing our human race, Lord Yunqi should put the overall situation first, and it is best to let Zheng Chaoyang take the blame and make meritorious deeds. I never thought of you."
You are an indiscriminate murderer and beheaded Zheng Chaoyang for your own selfish interests. You are simply lawless. Qin has sent a letter to the Holy Court to impeach you as the governor of Lanzhou."
This momentum, this arrogance, seems to be able to scold Du Ning to death.
"I have also informed the Holy Academy that Lord Yunqi is a murderer and has no benevolence. He cannot be the leader of a state!"
"A dignified Confucian and Taoist scholar died on the execution ground. This is a great shame and humiliation that our human race has never seen in hundreds of years!"
"Now is the time for the human race to employ people. If our human race has one less great scholar, it will have one less power to fight against foreign races. Lord Yunqi must give us a reasonable explanation!"
Many young Qin family members also echoed and roared righteously at Du Ning.
"Fart! Mr. Yunqi is only doing harm to the people, how can you say that he kills indiscriminately?"
"When many students from poor families in Lanzhou were bullied, why didn't you, the Qin family, stand up?"
"Zheng Chaoyang is the father of your Qin family? Are you also sad when he is beheaded?"
Many readers scolded one after another.
A look of anger appeared on Qin Wengong's face. These people are so brave, how dare they humiliate the Qin family like this.
But he did not retort, which would undermine his status as a great scholar and would also cause strong backlash from many scholars.
"Haha..."
The crowd burst into laughter, and the expression they looked at Qin Wengong was like looking at a clown.
"Jun Yunqi, you... you are simply being unreasonable!"
Qin Wengong's face was uncertain. If he had to exchange his life for the lives of these great scholars, he would not be willing even if he could win the praise of all the people!
"I'll tell you again, either exchange your life for these bachelors, or get out!" Du Ning said rudely.
"You...you..." Qin Wengong's chest surged.
"Okay, since you don't want to, then I have no choice but to do business."
Du Ning looked at Qin Wengong coldly, then at the kneeling bachelor below, picked up the order and threw it on the ground: "Come here, push the prisoner out of the hall and kill him!"
"Presumptuous!"
Qin Wengong was so angry that he almost burst out of his lungs. Du Ning acted so unreasonably and caught him off guard.
"Qin Wengong, am I someone you can scold?"
Du Ning looked at Qin Wengong coldly and said, "If you dare to yell at the court again, I will punish you together. A guy like you who shamelessly pleads for the prisoner is probably the same as Zheng Chaoyang. I can do it with just one sentence."
Do you believe I asked the Great Confucian Palace to investigate you?"
Qin Wengong's face was horrified, and he gritted his teeth, "Okay, very good! As expected of Yun Qijun, you are ruthless!"
After saying these words, Qin Wengong turned around and left.
There was a burst of laughter from the crowd.
Several bachelors were led to the execution ground, and when they raised their knives, their heads fell to the ground.
