Chapter 161: Fellows of the Holy Courtyard(1/2)

 The faces of the Liao people were very ugly. They didn’t expect that things would turn out like this. Duning would come out halfway and pretend to be the owner of the purse.

If Du Ning was just a scholar with no background, this matter would be easy to solve. Even if he went to court in the Holy Academy, Kong Xuan would be able to help the Liao people win.

But Du Ning has already revealed that he is here to participate in the trials of various nations. Will those who can participate in the trials of various nations have a small background?

Once everyone goes to the Holy Court Hall, it will be easy to find out the truth of the matter using the Holy Court's methods. The unlucky ones will not be Du Ning, but the Liao people and Kong Xuan.

The relationship between the Yun Kingdom and the Liao Kingdom is now very bad, and the Liao people are trying every possible means to disgust the Yun people, and they have gone to any lengths to do so.

But now, they were disgusted by Du Ning's methods.

He wants to get 30,000 taels of silver for nothing!

Kong Xuan took a deep breath, looked at Du Ning with his eyes like a jackal and a tiger, and asked: "Who are you?"

"I am Du Ning. I am the Marquis of Yunguo Town and an honorary student of the Guoxue Palace." Du Ning reported his name.

Most people have never heard of Du Ning's literary name, but it is very familiar to people in Yun country.

"I'll wait to see the Marquis."

"I met Du Hou."

The people of Yun State immediately bowed down and worshiped. This was a marquis who rose from a humble family to a powerful family. His actual status was better than that of a marquis from the royal family.

What's more, Du Ning has made great contributions to Yun State!

The expressions on the faces of the people of the Liao country changed greatly. They were also familiar with Du Ning's name.

When the Ke family represented the Liao Kingdom in the civil war in Suzhou, they were defeated miserably by Du Ning, and everyone knew it.

That was not only a shame for the Ke family, but also a shame for the entire Liao Kingdom.

Therefore, when Du Ning reported his identity, many Liao people looked at him with various eyes.

There is anger, awe, and hostility.

"Du Ning...Du Ning..."

Kong Xuan thought about it carefully, as if he had heard it somewhere, but it was very unfamiliar.

After a while, Kong Xuan thought of the author of "The Thousand Character Essay".

After review by the Holy Academy, the Thousand-Character Classic will be included in the enlightenment textbooks of various countries starting next year. I have also heard discussions from the elders of the clan.

This is a man who is about to be famous all over the world!

Standing right in front of me!

"It turns out to be Mr. Du, whose name I have admired for a long time."

Kong Xuan gave Du Ning a hand. People who are quite famous and have a certain status in the literary world are also addressed by the word "Mr.", regardless of their age.

"I don't dare take it seriously. You're too polite."

Du Ning frowned, and Kong Xuan's words "Sir" became more intense, seeming to be sarcastic.

"People of Liao, let's go, we go to court!"

"If the Holy Court determines that we took your money, we will immediately compensate you. If you wronged a good person, it means that these 30,000 taels of silver notes belong to Marquis Du, not you."

"I don't believe that in the world of Kongcheng and in front of the Holy Court, you people dare to act recklessly and bully others!"

Now that the Yun people have Du Ning's backing, they naturally have the confidence to speak and are not afraid of going to court.

The four words "using one's power to bully others" also have a different meaning. They just mentioned by name that these Liao people were bullying the Yun people by relying on Kong Xuan's power.

The people of Liao were furious, but they tried their best to remain calm and winked at Kong Xuan secretly.

Kong Xuan is also in a dilemma. If he goes to the court of the Holy Court with Du Ning, once the Holy Court uses various means to track down, it will be easy to see through their little tricks, and then his black hat will be at risk.

As the captain of the Kongcheng Law Enforcement Team, you can use this convenience to gain a lot of benefits, including quite a bit of profit.

But today I went out without looking at the almanac, and met someone who dared to challenge them.

Du Ning's literary reputation is just emerging in the literary circles of various countries. There are many people in Kongcheng who are more famous than Du Ning in the literary circles of various countries.

But what Kong Xuan considered was that Du Ning was invited to participate in the trials of various nations. After arriving in Kongcheng, he had to report to the Holy Court. The Holy Court would arrange Du Ning's residence and be responsible for protecting his safety.

Because even if Du Ning knew that Kong Xuan was from the Holy Family, he would still be confident.

And starting from next year, "The Thousand Character Essay" will be popular in various countries, and Du Ning's name will be completely spread throughout the world. By then, Du Ning will have a great status in the literary world.

This is what Kong Xuan is afraid of.

After weighing it again and again, Kong Xuan chose to remain calm and said slowly: "Since these 30,000 taels of silver notes are yours, I won't say more and leave here."

The expressions of the people of Liao suddenly changed.

They cannot accept the loss of 30,000 taels of silver notes for no reason.

"Master Kong, you can't! That's our money!"

"It's unjust! We're unjust!"

"I'm not convinced!"

Kong Xuan shouted coldly: "Shut up! It's not your turn to dictate what I do!"

The people of Liao dared not speak out in anger. After all, Kong Xuan’s identity was there, so he could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his own stomach.

"Haha... This is called bringing it upon yourself!"

"I tried to extort our money, but ended up losing everything."

"The Marquis of Zhen Guo still has a way to deal with these Liao people."

"Haha, all the students of the Ke family in the Liao Kingdom lost to the marquis of Zhenguo, let alone them?"

"In the eyes of Zhen Guohou, they are simply not worth mentioning."

The words of the Yun people made the Liao people very harsh and angry.

Kong Xuan glanced at Du Ning, walked to Du Ning's side, and said fiercely in his ear with a small voice: "Du, let's wait and see, we are not done with this matter."

"Oh."

Du Ning responded softly, with a calm tone, not taking Kong Xuan's threat seriously at all.

Kong Xuan took a deep breath, and felt angry in his heart. As a scholar from a dignified and holy family, he was so despised by Du Ning. For the arrogant Kong Xuan, it was both ridiculous and...

Things that I find irritating.

"Let's go."

Kong Xuan left quickly with the law enforcement team.

"Today we admit defeat, Du Ning, don't be too proud. If you take our 30,000 taels of silver notes now, we will pay you back ten times the amount in the future!"

"Our semi-saint family from the Liao Kingdom has also participated in this year's trials of various nations. This time the Ke family will definitely defeat you, Yixue's shame."

"The tides are turning, and in this year's trials among the nations, you will be ruined!"

The people of Liao were indignant and left one after another after leaving harsh words.

They felt very unhappy.

Thirty thousand taels of silver notes, all the money in vain, fell into Du Ning's pocket, and they were very unwilling to do so.

But they also know that this matter will not end here. This is Kongcheng. As long as they are in this place, no matter who the other party is, they can't even think about causing any trouble.

Kong Xuan is a child of the Holy Family and a Jinshi. He will not give up so easily and will definitely get back where he is today.

Du Ning ignored the Liao people. He always looked calm and unconcerned, and did not share the common understanding with others.

"Thank you, Marquis Du, for your help. We fell into the trap of the Liao people today and almost had to pay them 20,000 taels of silver notes."

"If Marquis Du has any assignments in the future, he will do his best to repay them."

Those people from the Yun Kingdom came over to thank Du Ning one after another, and were very grateful to Du Ning for enduring the Target of the Holy Family for them.

The 30,000 taels of silver notes are now in Du Ning's pocket. If Kong Xuan and the others want to get it back, they must find Du Ning and won't embarrass them.

"We are all Yun people, so we should help each other, so there is no need to be polite."

Du Ning was polite to them. They wanted to invite Du Ning to dinner, but Du Ning declined politely.

In the end, those Yun people left du Ning with their famous thorns, and they did business in Kongcheng. If Du Ning had any difficulties in Kongcheng, he could find their address for help through the famous thorns.

Du Ning accepted the assassination and walked towards the Holy Courtyard.

What happened just now is slowly spreading. The 30,000 taels of silver did not belong to Du Ning at all, but it was taken away by Du Ning. Everyone knows the article.

The people of Liao and Kong Xuan teamed up to blackmail the people of Yun, so Du Ning came forward to claim the money bag, causing them to lose everything.

And Du Ning is not afraid of the Holy Court's investigation, because once the truth is found out, not only will Du Ning not be convicted, but Kong Xuan's reputation may be removed.

So Du Ning is confident.

The reason why everyone spread this story is to admire Du Ning's courage to pick up 30,000 taels of silver from a white wolf with nothing, which is tantamount to snatching food from a lion's mouth.

This kind of operation opens people's eyes and gives many people some insights.

The truth of the matter is tacitly understood by everyone, and no one directly reveals it. Once the reason is revealed, Kong Xuan will be offended.
To be continued...
