The hundred-forged sharp sword passed by a sparse shadow, and instantly floated to the scholar's neck, like a clear spring containing endless murderous intent.
I have never thought that someone would dare to risk the world and impose swords, axes and axes on scholars.
The scholar surnamed Chen felt that his mind was blank and his hands and feet were numb and unable to move. He could only watch the cold light on the sword approaching suddenly.
"The general's sword will save people!"
Almost without thinking, Ning Caichen shouted loudly with a surge of righteousness in his chest, and flicked his fingers to meet the coming iron sword.
A bit of white light bloomed from between Ning Caichen. The moment it touched the sword, there was a loud trembling and whimpering sound, and a huge force was triggered from the sword body, easily shaking the sword away.
The military attache accidentally dropped his sword and almost threw it away.
Fortunately, he reacted in time and used his blood force to hold down the restless weapon, so nothing happened.
Even so, the right hand holding the sword was caught off guard and was shattered, with blood dripping from it and the injury was horrific.
"Ning Caichen, you still said you don't know how to do evil arts?!"
"You dared to attack an official of the imperial court in broad daylight. Now that there are witnesses and evidence gathered, not even the tiger skin of a scholar can protect you!"
That military commander was also a decisive and ruthless character. Seeing that he could not establish his power, he immediately ordered his subordinates to surround the scholar.
"Listen to the orders from both sides and surround everyone here. If Ning Caichen acts rashly, he would rather kill anyone by mistake than let anyone go."
He actually wanted to use the lives of innocent scholars as a threat in an attempt to force Ning Caichen to submit.
"My lord, if you want to impose a crime, there is no reason to hesitate. You must know the right and wrong in your heart."
"Even if we assume that Ning is really guilty, according to the laws of the imperial court, the case must be kept by the Ministry of Punishment and interrogated by the three divisions. At the very least, the adults in the state government must conduct an investigation and verification. Are there any military commanders who want to arrest someone?"
"Your Majesty, by doing this, where does your Majesty place the laws of the court? Please forgive Ning for not accepting the rude edict."
Faced with this situation, Ning Caichen was neither humble nor overbearing.
When he heard the word "Guoshi", he already knew in his mind that this must be the two reincarnations borrowing the righteousness of the imperial law to try to force him to submit.
This method is much more insidious than a head-on decision. After all, if Ning Caichen still wants to show off his skills in the DPRK, he cannot choose to use violence to solve the problem.
Otherwise, the mere intention of treason and disrespect will be enough to destroy the good reputation he has accumulated over the years. From now on, let alone entering the court as an official and displaying his ambitions, even the ideal of being a great Confucian for a lifetime will be turned into nonsense.
Fortunately, there is always a path, and since the other party chooses to use the court's laws to embarrass him, it is inevitable that his every move will also be restricted by the laws.
After all, even the emperor cannot order the execution of a civilian without any reason, at least not on the surface.
Otherwise, what greeted him today would not be a criminal order, but the sword at the waist of the Jin Yiwei.
Since the other party chose to dance with shackles on and use the imperial power to force him to submit, the way out now is obvious.
If they want to arrest me today, I will do it without any hesitation, but they have to follow the formal process, and the state government will hand over the verdict at different levels until they arrive at the Holy Court.
Ning Caichen did not doubt how difficult it would be to fabricate charges with Pudu Cihang's power.
But the purpose of doing this was not to exonerate oneself, but simply to delay time.
With this kind of skill, Fa Hai and his party can kill many people in and out of the palace. When your rightful master is gone, with Ning Caichen's reputation in Dongyang County, do you still worry about someone making things difficult for him?
"Ning is willing to be imprisoned in the state capital with an innocent body. It is for the safety of all his classmates and because he believes in the clear understanding of all the adults in the court, but he does not want to be humiliated by you and other gangsters who confuse right and wrong and unjustly kill loyal people.
!”
"When someone comes from the prefectural government office, Ning will be able to arrest him without hesitation."
With fluttering sleeves, Ning Caichen stood upright, full of righteousness and awe-inspiring people.
Compared with the general who looked down at him like a wolf, he immediately became clear and turbid.
"This scholar's face is upright and upright. He doesn't look like those people who have no king and no father. There must be some misunderstanding in this, right?"
"Hmph, this pedantic scholar must have offended some minister in the court and was framed. In this world... tsk tsk, good people don't live long!"
…
There were faint comments from the people watching around, but most of them were words of praise for Ning Caichen.
Even a group of fellow scholars, who were originally a little afraid of the sharp knives in the hands of officers and soldiers, became excited after hearing Ning Caichen's words.
"Brother Ning, who do you think we are? Why should I abandon you and live alone?!"
"That is, Brother Ning's name is unknown in such a large Jinhua City. Who doesn't know it? If today, for the sake of a mere life, a learned and wise man like Brother Ning suffers, how can our conscience be at ease?"
"Today we will see who dares to embarrass Brother Ning!"
…
Of course, not everyone dared to lay down their lives. For example, a certain scholar surnamed Cai, who was engaged to be married, thought of the kindness of his wife and the kindness of his wife, and forcibly persuaded himself to retreat quietly.
The military attache's face became even more gloomy when he saw that what he said not only failed to frighten everyone, but also caused more people to bewitched by Ning Caichen and stood on the opposite side.
Of course he knew that what Ning Caichen said was reasonable, but the reason why he avoided the state government office during this trip was that he had privately received an order from the envoy sent by the Imperial Guard to escort Ning Caichen to the capital as soon as possible.
The Imperial Preceptor has been favored by His Majesty and has great power over the government and the public. He has always wanted to seek refuge with his disciples, but due to his humble status, he was unable to do so. How could he easily let go of this great opportunity given by God?
With murderous intent clearly visible in his eyes, he heard the general shout:
"All generals listen to the order and capture Ning Caichen immediately. If anyone dares to resist, he will be killed without mercy. Anyone who successfully captures the thief will be rewarded with a reward of one hundred taels."
He actually wanted the Overlord to take the initiative and make this matter a solid case.
The officers and soldiers behind them looked at each other for a while, and anyone could see the greed in the other's eyes. Now that the world is in ruins, it is common to kill good people and take credit for their merits. These old veterans have long been unable to resist the indiscriminate killing of innocent people.
Not to mention the bounty of a hundred taels, which is enough to buy a house in the most prosperous area of Fucheng. Who would not be jealous of such incredible wealth?
Seeing that someone was already stabbing the innocent soldier with a gun, suddenly an old but angry command came from not far away:
"Let me see who dares to frame Zhongliang and kill people indiscriminately!"
The person who came was wearing a black gauze hat and a second-grade imperial censor's official robe, with a Haechi mythical beast embroidered on his chest. The instrument was majestic and extraordinary.
Behind him were two teams of government officials. Although there were not many people, their momentum was no less impressive than that of the military attache.
"Cheng Shoubei, who gave you the courage to use weapons against the people of Ming Dynasty? Are you trying to rebel?"
Before the other party could say anything, a big hat was slapped on him.
Ning Caichen smiled. He had been showing off his defense just now, but he was scolded by the vigorous old man in front of him. His face turned livid, and he remained silent.
I wonder who will be spared by the wind and water?
