Confucian and Taoist scholar

Chapter 511 A deserved death

Du Ning sat down again, patted the gavel, and said loudly: "Bring in the former Lanzhou Prefectural Mu Qianjingli, as well as the prisoners who have committed crimes while serving in the Lanzhou Yamen."

After a while, the government officials took another group of people to court.

Many prisoners were kneeling in front of the hall and shivering, their faces full of regret.

The leader Qian Jingli stood there and cast an extremely dissatisfied look at Du Ning. He even felt as if he had been wronged and showed anger.

There was another person kneeling next to him, also looking at Duning begging for mercy.

This person is none other than Xing Feng, the prefect of Lanzhou.

In addition to the former state pastor Qian Jingli, Xing Feng, as the state prime minister, also accepted bribes from many family members. After Qian Jingli was arrested, the Great Confucian Palace followed suit and eliminated Xing Feng and others.

Du Ning looked at the people kneeling below and felt very funny for a moment.

Not long after arriving in Lanzhou City, Du Ning also had a drink and chat with these officials.

Now these officials have become prisoners and corrupt officials that everyone wants to beat.

It is because of the existence of these people that the entire Lanzhou City has become a mess, making it difficult for many bullied people to redress their grievances and retaliate.

It is precisely because of these people as the protective umbrella for the children of the aristocratic families that those domineering children of the aristocratic families will become more aggressive, have no scruples, and even blatantly trample on the law.

What's the point of not killing such a vicious official?

Du Ning cast an extremely disgusting look at these people.

"Du Jun, have mercy on me... Du Jun, have mercy on me... I have an old man and a young man, and they all rely on me to make ends meet..."

Xing Feng burst into tears, he was as miserable as he wanted.

"Shut up!"

Du Ning scolded, then opened the file and read aloud: "Qian Jingli, Xing Feng and others, during their tenure in Lanzhou Yamen, accepted bribes from aristocratic families, allowed students from aristocratic families to bully the people, trampled on the laws of the human race, and caused many poor families to live in poverty.

Students were bullied, betrayed the Holy Academy and the common people, and committed many crimes..."

As Du Ning announced the crimes committed by these people one by one, the people and scholars who were watching became angry and cursed at these people, and the words were also very ugly.

"The crime committed by the prisoner in this hall is so heinous that it cannot be tolerated by heaven. Now, on behalf of the Holy Court, I sentence Qian Jingli, Xing Feng and others to death!"

When he said this, Qian Jingli suddenly yelled: "Du Ning! I am a scholar, a Confucian and Taoist scholar, and a member of a noble family. I want to use the privileges of a noble family to avoid death. I want to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds. Even if you

I’m the Wenjun of the human race, and you can’t kill me!”

Du Ning frowned and said patiently: "I have the authorization of the Holy Court, so how can I not kill you? As for the so-called privileges of aristocratic families, I'm sorry, but it doesn't work in our Lanzhou Yamen."

Qian Jingli said proudly: "Du Ning, I admit that I am guilty. I am sorry for the entrustment of the Holy Court and the people under my rule. But I refuse to accept it. Even if I am guilty, my crime will not lead to death, because those who bully poor students

It's not me, but those domineering students from aristocratic families. What does it have to do with me, Mr. Qian? If you sentence me to death, you will be a dog official who bends the law for personal gain!"

"Wise words! If you hadn't accepted bribes to support the aristocratic family, would those students from the aristocratic families be so arrogant and unscrupulous?"

Du Ning retorted: "Yes, you did not personally bully the poor students, but your evil deeds are worse than those of them, because you are encouraging them to bully the people and supporting them to do evil. As long as you are a little bit

Conscience, if you had done something even slightly, Lanzhou City would not have the current atmosphere. Those people deserve to die, and you deserve to die even more!"

"Nonsense! You are talking nonsense! You are simply slanderous! Someone is guilty of my crime, but my crime is not worthy of death, and my crime is not worthy of death, you can't kill me!"

Qian Jingli roared angrily, and at the same time his face turned red with anger. He could not accept Du Ning's criticism. From the beginning to the end, he felt that even if he was guilty, his crime would not lead to death. Even if he was arrested by the Holy Court, the Holy Court would still look at it.

Since he is a Confucian and Taoist scholar and given preferential treatment because he is a scholar from an aristocratic family, he can be punished and perform meritorious service, so he has no worries and uses his power to receive many benefits.

But now, Du Ning actually sentenced him to execution. This is something he cannot accept and believe.

He felt that Du Ning must be crazy for daring to sentence him to death.

"Isn't your crime worthy of death? Ridiculous! You deserve to die!"

Du Ning said loudly: "You know? Those innocent people who suffered, those who were suppressed instead of redressing their grievances against you, and those who lost their lives because of your incompetence, they are eager to peel off your skin and slap you.

I even want to dig up your ancestral grave, because what you did has caused countless families to suffer too much grief, so you have to take responsibility for your own sins!"

"It's ridiculous! I just received a small benefit, and you're sentenced to death based on this? It's really ridiculous. They say you are a civilized monarch of the human race, but I didn't expect that you would enforce the law so unfairly!" Qian Jingli said loudly.

"Bang!"

Du Ning was stunned and said loudly: "Everyone who is watching, do you think Qian Jingli deserves to die?"

"Qian Jingli's sins are so heinous that heaven cannot tolerate him!"

"I once complained to the Yamen, but he not only failed to make decisions for us, but also bit us back. This kind of person is a disaster!"

"If I don't kill this person, is it possible to keep him here and continue to harm others?"

Everyone spoke one after another, shouting that Qian Jingli deserved to be killed.

"How outrageous! You unruly people actually dare to go against me like this. When I go out, I must make you look good!"

Qian Jingli's eyes were about to burst, and he cast a malicious look at many people, as if he could kill someone.

"Come here, take the criminal down and behead him in public!"

Du Ning threw the order on the ground, and with the sound of the order falling to the ground, several people were so frightened that they fainted.

"No! You can't kill me! I am a great scholar from a noble family! I am protected by the Holy Court. If you kill me, the Holy Court will definitely punish you!"

Qian Jingli struggled desperately, but his talent and strength were blocked, and he was no longer a match for the government officials, so he was taken to the execution ground by the government officials.

"Du Ning! How dare you kill me! You bad official! You evil official! You will not die a good death!"

"Whoops!"

The executioner cut off Qian Jingli's head with one blow.

"Don't kill me...don't kill me..."

Xing Feng was also taken to the execution ground. Looking at the executioner in front of him, his heart was filled with fear.

He never dreamed that such a day would come to him.

"Ah!"

Screams were heard, and Xing Feng and other prisoners were beheaded one after another.
