"Whether it was self-defense or not, go back and explain yourselves properly!"
He then asked, "Who is Zheng Dan?"
Zheng Dan took several steps back and hid in the crowd.
The students of Yingtian Academy remained silent.
Who is Zheng Dan?
Yang Han then asked, "I wonder what business Shangguan has with Zheng Dan?"
"Someone has accused Zheng Dan of raping a woman. I have come to arrest him!"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Dan turned pale with fright.
"Shangguan, this is a frame-up!"
Qiu Xueming ignored him and continued, "Who is Zheng Dan!"
Yang Han continued, "Shangguan, this is a frame-up!"
"Shut your beak! The Imperial City Guard is investigating a case. You all stand aside and behave yourselves. If you obstruct us, you'll be arrested too!"
Yang Han's expression changed drastically.
Zhou Bin pointed at Zheng Dan and said, "Shangguan, that's Zheng Dan."
"Very well, guards, take Zheng Dan away!"
Zheng Hongyi sneered, "This superior has quite the airs of an official!"
Qiu Xueming said, "Whether I have official power or not is none of your business!"
Zheng Hongyi was a renowned scholar at the time, and even Xu Churen treated him with courtesy. Now, being publicly scolded by Qiu Xueming, his face turned ashen.
Yang Han said, "How dare you! Do you know who you're talking to!"
"Enough with the nonsense, arrest him!"
At Qiu Xueming's command, Imperial Guards came forward to arrest the man.
The guards of Yingtian Academy quickly stopped the Imperial City Guard.
Yang Han roared, "This is the Imperial Academy! How dare you act so presumptuously here!"
"Heh heh, I am the emperor's personal guard, acting on behalf of the emperor. Today I'll be insolent and see who dares to stop me!"
Qiu Xueming drew his crescent-shaped dagger and slashed down, striking the head of the leading guard.
With a snap, his head was chopped open, and his brains splattered out.
