Lian Pingchao slowly walked towards the execution ground, but he kept trying to convince himself.
"I will not be defeated by Fang Yun! My heart is the strongest in this world! "
Lian Pingchao took a deep breath. The power of the Grand Scholar had dissipated, but the knowledge and experience he had accumulated over the years were still there. The heart of a scholar had not been broken!
"You can take away my power, but you can't take away Old Man's unyielding heart!"
Lian Pingchao slowly raised his head. Even though he was in tatters and covered in mud, he still had a unique temperament that ordinary people did not have.
Some people had looked at him with disdain because he was a beggar who did not want to suffer, but now they instinctively respected him.
Soon, Lian Pingchao arrived at the execution ground and looked at it from afar.
The execution ground was not big, but it was already surrounded by a large number of Qingyang City citizens. Many soldiers were maintaining order to prevent people from robbing the execution ground.
In the deepest part of the execution ground, Yun Zhaochen was talking to the officials of Qingyang City.
Other than a few officials who were proud and unyielding, most of the officials had become subservient.
Yun Zhaochen was personally appointed by the Master of Bloody Radiance!
His position was as high as that of the king of a country.
Soon, the officials began to read out the crimes of the Lian family.
"The Lian family has been tyrannical for generations, forgetting their ancestors, admiring demons and barbarians, scheming and scheming … causing the people of Qingyang City to have no way to sue them …"
After that, the official who was reading out the crimes of the Lian family listed them one by one. There were even testimonies from the Lian family, revealing many dark secrets of the Lian family.
The crowd was agitated.
"Great, so the Lian family was behind the Tofu Beauty's fall. No wonder the case was left unsettled!"
"That Lian family restaurant sold a chicken for a hundred taels of silver. What a golden chicken!"
"The Lian family relied on their numbers to beat the doctor to death. No wonder the mayor's residence did not care."
"Hehe, that Lian Er is also a bastard. The land in Qingyang City that was originally worth ten thousand taels of silver. He sold it for three thousand taels and only got a thousand taels for himself. But he caused Qingyang City to lose seven thousand taels. What a beast. He must be cut into pieces! "
Lian Pingchao gritted his teeth. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but in the end, he smiled coldly. He thought to himself, This Qingyang City was conquered by my Lian Clan, so no matter what the Lian Clan does, it's only right. A bunch of bumpkins actually dared to overstep their boundaries and speak nonsense. Be careful that you don't die without a burial ground in the future.
Lian Pingchao's eyes were still firm, and he was not shaken by the evidence.
Following Yun Zhaochen's command, the executioner waved his blade.
Heads rolled and blood flowed like a river.
The pungent stench spread, tickling people's throats and making them want to vomit.
Looking at the heads of his children and grandchildren rolling down one by one, looking at the eyes of those who died with remaining grievances, and smelling the bloody smell of the blood of his loved ones, the determination in Lian Pingchao's eyes finally faded.
"My son! My grandson! Fang Yun, you're too cruel! Too ruthless! "
Lian Pingchao roared in his heart. However, he did not dare to make a single sound.
Lian Pingchao's body was shaking, and his body was as stiff as ice amidst the cheers of the people.
"I … I shouldn't have gone against Fang Yun …"
Lian Pingchao burst into tears. The ruins of Dragon City flashed before his eyes. He finally understood that if he had stopped in the Hall of Crimes, he could still be a rich man.
If he had stopped before entering the Hall of Crimes, he could still be a scholar.
If he had stopped when he first met Fang Yun, he would have been a hero who opened up a new world!
Just like Yun Zhaochen, he could supervise the execution of others!
But now. Lian Pingchao could only be a beggar. He did not dare to say a word as he watched his family being killed. He just cried silently.
The strong contrast made the proud Lian Pingchao's heart tremble, and his blood boil. The idea of taking a risk grew in his heart.
At this moment, someone said, "This beggar covered in mud is so pitiful. He must have been killed by the Lian Clan. Look, he's so happy that he's crying …"
Lian Pingchao was furious. He spat out a mouthful of blood, closed his eyes, and fainted.
Saint Origin Continent, Jingguo, Chen Clan.
The Chen Clan occupied a vast area, and there were more than twenty courtyards used to receive guests. Among them, the Clear Heart Courtyard was the largest and best courtyard. Ordinary scholars could not live in it. At least, the Chen Clan would only open the courtyard to the Patriarch or the Emperor.
And now, Yang Yuhuan and the others were living in the Clear Heart Courtyard.
Ao Huang transformed into a small dragon and said solemnly, "Sister-in-law Yuhuan, don't worry. When I become a Saint, I'll kill all the beasts! I'll kill them all. I'll … "
Ao Huang said the word "kill" seven times in a row, causing dark clouds to gather in the sky. Then, he continued to comfort Yang Yuhuan.
At the same time, he vented his dissatisfaction.
Nunu had been lying listlessly on Yang Yuhuan's knees. Suddenly, its ears pricked up, and it raised its head. Then, it quickly got up.
"Squeak!"
Nunu's eyes were filled with boundless joy. She dashed out quickly and turned into a white shadow as she ran out of the Bright Heart Courtyard. She ran to the main entrance of the Chen family and guarded the entrance like a little lion, pacing back and forth.
"Nunu …" Yang Yuhuan hurriedly chased after it, and Ao Huang followed suit.
The dragon and the human ran to the gate, only to find Nunu patrolling the gate confidently. They did not know what it was waiting for.
Yang Yuhuan and Ao Huang's faces flashed with disappointment, and they told Nunu to go back.
However, Nunu ignored them and continued to walk around the gate valiantly. Occasionally, it would use its little tongue to comb its fur. The little meteor slowly circled around Nunu.
Yang Yuhuan and Ao Huang looked at Nunu helplessly.
Ao Huang frowned and looked to the east. Saint Origin Continent in the morning, the sun was shining brightly.
Under the sun, a farce happened in front of the government office in Ning An City, thousands of miles away.
The government office in Ning An City used to be a hard stone road, but now the stone road had been pried open, and a large hole had been dug in the ground. Hundreds of scholars stood in the hole.
There were even more scholars who continued to dig and jump into the hole.
"Since Ji Zhibai dared to burn Fang Xusheng's works in Green Crow Prefecture City, and even threatened to kill anyone who dared to spread Fang Xusheng's works in Ning An City, then we'll dig our own holes and wait for Ji Zhibai to come and kill us!"
"Ji Zhibai, come out!"
"Dog Official Fei Chang, we'll wait for you here!"
"Although Fang Xusheng is dead, his works must not be tarnished!"
"Notre-Dame is a group of blind people. They could have arrested Minister Zuo and the others for obstructing the spread of Xusheng's works, but they were so scared. What's there to investigate when it's already set in stone? "
"No one would believe that they didn't burn Fang Xusheng's works because they were suspected of being traitors!"
In the crowd, the members of the Chen family who were in disguise stood among them, watching with great interest.
"That's right. We humans have a lot of scholars with integrity. It won't be long before the government office is emptied out and filled with scholars!"
"Ji Zhibai is not stupid. He only burned Fang Xusheng's works in Green Crow Prefecture City, but he did it secretly in Ning An County. Unfortunately, he underestimated the scholars gathered in Ning An County."
"These scholars responded to Fang Xusheng's call to protect Ning An City. How can they tolerate Ji Zhibai's actions?"
"Sir … when will you act?"
All the Chen family members looked at the young man in disguise.
"I'll wait for Ji Zhibai to come out."
