At this time, the gate of Yanshenggong Mansion was closed.
The officials of Shuntian Prefecture formed a human wall outside the gate, protecting the Yanshenggong Mansion behind them.
After a low discussion, a student who opposed Kong's faction stood up and shouted, "Everyone, more than ten days ago, the Ping Liao army entered Shenyang and found a letter in the city. After inspection by the six ministries and nine officials, it was confirmed that the letter was written by the contemporary Yansheng Duke Kong Yinzhi himself."
"Not only did Duke Yansheng pay homage to the Jiannu in his letter, he also provided them with two million taels of silver."
As soon as these words were spoken, the people around were immediately in an uproar.
Although this news had already spread throughout the capital, it was only spread by word of mouth among the people.
There is no official confirmation.
Although the students of the Imperial College were not yet officials, they were still one step away from becoming officials.
It was hard for the people not to believe it.
"Good boy, it turns out it's not a rumor!"
"Yeah, I thought it was just a joke, but I didn't expect it to be true."
"The dignified Duke Yansheng actually did such a despicable thing. He is truly guilty of a heinous crime."
While the onlookers were discussing this matter, the families of those who were arrested and imprisoned were unhappy.
If what the students of the Imperial College said was true, then there is no possibility that their families spread rumors.
You can't be thrown into jail.

The students of the Imperial College shouted, "Duke Yansheng Kong Yinzhi is a scumbag, a treacherous villain. Please arrest him immediately and give an explanation to the people of the Ming Dynasty and the current emperor!"
Led by them, the onlookers also started to join in the fun.
They first followed the anti-Confucian students in shouting, "Arrest the Duke of Yansheng! Arrest the Duke of Yansheng!"
Then they changed their tune and shouted: "Release them! Release them!"
Although some students of the Confucius faction expressed their support for Duke Yansheng, their voices were quickly drowned out by the voices of the people.
The officers outside the Yanshenggong Mansion immediately became nervous.
In order to prevent being attacked by students and civilians, they drew their swords and stood on guard.
The people and students became even more dissatisfied when they saw this, but they did not dare to rush over directly.
I can only express my anger by roaring.
"Let him go! Let him go!"
"Arrest the Duke of Yansheng!"
The situation in Yanshenggong's mansion suddenly became tense.
