Chapter 614: Break with Decency

    

Another businessman shook his head and sighed, a bitter look on his face.A dozen or so men sat in the room, some like Nangong Shouchong, strong and in their prime, while others, like Cao Lao Ban from...Chapter 614: Rip the Face

Yelü Guzanqi's voice entered Li Chen's left ear and exited his right.

Li Chen wasn't listening to what Yelü Guzanqi was saying at all.

He kept looking at Yelü Qiming.

"Lord Zheng."

Li Chen called out softly.

Zheng Baorong jumped to Li Chen's side and whispered, "Here, here."

"There is a traitorous leader from the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Qiming, who allows his subordinates to forcefully seize women from the people of our Great Qin, abusing and killing no less than ten of them. Such atrocities, according to the laws of Great Qin, should be punished how"

Zheng Bao Rong immediately replied, "According to the laws of Qin Dynasty, this is a heinous crime, a capital offense that even an imperial pardon would not spare. He should be detained and beheaded immediately without waiting until autumn."

Upon hearing this exchange, Yelu Qiming felt uneasy but still laughed loudly: "Two-legged sheep, who are you trying to scare Immediate beheading Do you think you're something If you dare to touch a single hair on my head, I'll exterminate your entire family!"

Li Chen took a deep breath and, facing the people who looked at him, said loudly: "As the ancient saying goes, 'The rise and fall of a nation rests on the shoulders of its people.' The ancients also said, 'A gentleman should cultivate himself, order his family, govern the state, and pacify the world!'"

"Cultivating oneself refers to refining one's character and morality, fostering a broad and compassionate heart that encompasses the world."

"A harmonious family is one where elders are well-cared for and children grow up healthy, husband and wife get along, and the whole family is happy and peaceful!"

"Governing a country, ruling over the mountains and rivers, is about the well-being of all people!"

When the world is peaceful, it means that injustice has been eradicated and criminals have been punished!

"Today, I shall rectify this injustice and put an end to you!"

Otherwise, my conscience will be troubled, and my character will be flawed, with blemishes in my heart.

These dozen or so families are unable to live together in harmony. Their parents and elders, as well as their children and grandchildren, cannot find a place to settle down and feel secure.

"The dignity of the people of the Qin Dynasty has been trampled upon by you, how can this world be peaceful!"

As he spoke, Li Chen's voice grew increasingly heavy, his emotions rising to a fever pitch.

The people who had gradually lost hope around them, like a candle being lit in the darkness, saw light and hope.

Every Qin person present felt a surge of blood coursing through their veins, an overwhelming sense of pride and determination welling up from within. At this moment, they were ready to lay down their lives without hesitation for this towering man who stood before them!

While the atmosphere on the Qin side was one of fervent excitement, Yelu Guzanqi and Yelu Qiming were filled with anxiety and trepidation.

They didn't expect Li Chen to refuse to yield, even when they had conceded. He remained aggressive despite their retreat.

"Are you really going all the way to the end!”

Yelü Guzanqi saw the fierce killing intent in Li Chen's eyes, his heart jolted with alarm, and he instinctively roared, "Save him!"

I just sent Yelu Qiming away with my own hands because Yelu Guzan was confident that Li Chen would step back, take the man and stop there. The Great Qin court wouldn't dare to do anything to Yelu Qiming.

Now that Li Chen has shown murderous intent, saying these words is unsettling even for an outsider like me. It's clear his emotions are running high. If he doesn't kill Yelü Qiming, this matter will never be resolved.

And Yelü Qiming, regardless of whether it was for the sake of the face of the Great Liao country or his own actual identity, absolutely could not die.

Otherwise, he, Yelü Guzanqi, would be hard to exonerate.

So at this critical juncture, Yelü Guzanqi could only choose to break with them. Chen's."The commoner is willing to die for your highness!"Looking at Nangong Shunchun lying on the ground, Li Chen was delighted.He crouched down and said, "Look up."Nan Gong Shou Zhong slowly raised...
