"Situ Yan, if you don't want to be sentenced to fifty years in prison and have your whole life ruined, I advise you to explain the truth of the case yourself. Of course, if you have to shoulder the responsibility, I will respect you.
choice."
Du Ning spoke again. This was his ultimatum to Situ Yan. If Situ Yan could reveal who Qin Wengong was behind, his prison sentence would be reduced. Otherwise, Situ Yan would bear all the crimes alone and Qin Wengong would go free.
As a result, the Situ family will be completely used as a joke by Qin Wengong, and the Situ family will become the laughing stock of the entire Lanzhou.
"I said! I said!"
At this time, Situ Yan was also willing to fight. Compared with fifty years of imprisonment that ruined his whole life, it would be better to only ruin half his life.
"Qin Wengong ordered the students to do all this!" Situ Yan said loudly.
"Presumptuous!"
Qin Wengong's eyes were blood red, and he turned to look at Situ Yan, as if he was about to transform into a demon, his eyes full of madness and violence.
When Situ Yan said these words, his Qin Wengong's great reputation was ruined in one day!
The whole place fell silent instantly!
Many scholars showed an expression of "as expected", the mastermind behind it was really Qin Wengong!
Many Liao people only felt a pain in their chests, which was extremely uncomfortable.
"Nonsense! This is slander! This is a huge slander!"
A member of the Qin family couldn't believe this was true and shouted: "How do you think my uncle might be the instigator? How could he do such a thing? I don't believe it!"
"You actually slander us, a great scholar of the Qin family, who do you think you are!"
"We, the great scholar of the Qin family, have good intentions and are helping you defend you, but you have turned against us and slandered us, the great scholar of the Qin family. You are simply worse than a beast!"
Many Qin family members were furious. They did not believe that Qin Wengong would do such a thing. How ridiculous this is!
"Situ Yan!"
Qin Wengong yelled: "Do you know what nonsense you are talking about? Let me tell you! I am a scholar of the Qin family and a great scholar of the Qin family. You'd better think through it before you speak!"
"Bang!"
Du Ning slapped the crowd hard, looked at Qin Wengong and said, "Stop! It's not your turn to speak yet!"
"Du Jun, please don't listen to this man's nonsense. He is slandering me!" Qin Wengong said.
"Whether it is slander or not, we have to wait until Situ Yan has finished what he said before we can make a judgment."
"You..." Qin Wengong panicked.
"Situ Yan, please continue."
"Yes."
Situ Yan collected his thoughts and said: "Master Qi, this happened a few days ago. Mr. Qin suddenly came to our Situ family and said that he had a way for the students to kill his love rival Yang Mao and get Zhou Shuwan. He also said that as long as the students follow the instructions
Using his method, he will serve as the student’s defender and get the student acquitted.”
"Nonsense! Nonsense! It's all nonsense!"
"Presumptuous! Presumptuous! Presumptuous!"
"This is the biggest slander against our great scholars of the Qin family!"
At this time, Qin Wengong had not yet refuted, but many scholars of the Qin family outside the court had already let out hysterical roars. They looked at Situ Yan angrily, wishing they could rush into the court and kill Situ Yan. The Qin family had never been so slandered! "The method Qin Wengong mentioned makes you insist on the concept of 'legitimate defense'?" Du Ning asked.
"Yes, Mr. Qin said that as long as the students find a way to get Yang Mao to make the first move, even if they beat Yang Mao to death afterwards, it would still be self-defense. He also said that Liu Chen's murder of Wang Shuo with a knife was also because Wang Shuo made the first move..." p>
Situ Yan honestly explained the behind-the-scenes of the case.
"Qin Wengong!"
Yang Guisheng widened his eyes with hatred and shouted at Qin Wengong: "You are a great Confucian! You are a great Confucian from the Liao Kingdom! I, the Yang family, have no enmity against you. Why did you instigate Situ Yan to kill my son? Just you.
Does this make him worthy of being a scholar! Where is the law of heaven? Where is justice? My son has been wronged!"
"Qin Wengong! Why did you instigate Situ Yan to kill Yang Mao? Even if your Qin family has a grudge against Yun Qijun, Yang Mao is innocent! Why would you sacrifice the life of an innocent person!"
"The great scholar of the Qin family is worse than a pig or a dog!"
"Qin Wengong, get out of Lanzhou City!"
"The great scholar of the Qin family of the Liao Dynasty actually bullied us Lanzhou people. This is unbearable!"
"I want to appeal to the Holy Court in the name of a scholar in Lanzhou. If the Holy Court cannot make the decision for us Lanzhou people, I will die in front of the Holy Court!"
Many people in Lanzhou were furious and roared with indignation at Qin Wengong.
There were also scholars from other countries who pointed at Qin Wengong and shouted and cursed him.
Many people in the Liao Kingdom were so angry that they didn't believe Situ Yan's testimony at all. They believed that Situ Yan deliberately slandered Qin Wengong in order to reduce his own punishment, and they wanted to cut Situ Yan into pieces with a thousand knives.
"Situ Yan, don't talk nonsense in court. Any fabrication of testimony is slander. If I find out that your testimony is false, you will be made more guilty. You have to think clearly." Du Ning warned.<
/p>
Situ Yan hurriedly said: "The matter has come to this, and the student dare not hide it. Without Mr. Qin's promise, the student will definitely not dare to commit murder. If the student makes any lies, I...I am willing to receive the death penalty!"
After saying that, he looked like he was going to die with Qin Wengong.
Du Ning walked down the street and said to Qin Wengong: "Do you have anything to refute Situ Yan's testimony?"
Qin Wengong gritted his teeth and said: "Du Jun, I have no idea what Situ Yan is talking about. This matter is basically Situ Yan's slander against Qin in order to reduce the punishment. He was accused because Qin did not defend him.
Qin is innocent of holding a grudge!"
"Really? Are you really innocent?"
Du Ning said: "Qin Wengong, as a great scholar of the Liao Kingdom, you have done some shameful things. Do you dare to do it but not admit it?"
"Why did Du Jun say this? Do you even think that Qin is instigating behind his back?" Qin Wengong said.
"You know whether Mr. Qin is behind the scenes, and I know it." Du Ning sneered.
"Then do you have evidence? As the state shepherd of Lanzhou, you can't convict Qin just because of someone else's words, right?" Qin Wengong said.
"Since Mr. Qin thinks he is innocent, how dare you stand up and swear an oath with literary courage? As long as you can say with literary courage that you have never been involved in this case, I will never pursue you."
"What a joke! Why do you ask Qin to prove his literary courage with just one sentence?" Qin Wengong said disapprovingly.
"It's the simplest way for a scholar to prove himself by his literary courage. Mr. Qin thinks he is innocent, doesn't he even have the courage to prove himself by his literary courage?" Du Ning's eyes were like swords.
