The heated discussions on the discussion board did not affect the flogging by the scholars at the foot of Daofeng Mountain.
From early morning until noon, all the great scholars did not stop, and each of them broke several whips.
More than half of Kong Weishan's team fainted due to exhaustion, pain, bleeding and shame.
More than 100,000 scholars fainted at the edge of the square.
Near noon, the scholars of the clan could no longer bear it, and a young Jinshi suddenly stood up, tore off his torn white Jinshi robe, revealing a body covered with whip marks.
It was like hundreds of centipedes burrowing under his skin and tearing open his flesh.
He roared, "I am a descendant of the Zongsheng family. No one can punish me except the Zong family! Zong family members, stand up and let them know that we, the Zong family, will never surrender!"
"You bastard!" Kong Yingshi had almost calmed down and slowed down the whip in his hand. He was hesitating about how to end the incident, but when he heard what the scholar from the Zong family said, he became furious.
Kong Yingshi rushed forward, holding a whip, and even injected his talent into it, and lashed the scholar from the Zong family, cursing as he whipped.
"Children of the clan? The ones being drawn are the children of the clan!"
"Don't think I don't know. If it weren't for your clan Qingguo secretly instigating discord, there wouldn't be a full-scale conflict between the Kong family and Fang Sheng!"
"I wanted to give the Zong family some face, but you came out here and acted like a monster with a pig's nose and a green onion in it!"
"Child of the Zong family? Come on, keep talking, keep shouting, and see if I can punish you!"
"Children of the Zong family? It is you, the useless children of the Zong family and the Lei family, who have been making things difficult for Fang Sheng and forced the human race into this state! If it were not for you, why would Fang Sheng establish the Saint Way so early, causing damage to our Confucian Saint Way! If it were not for you, why would Fang Sheng approve of the canonization right after the canonization, causing my Kong family to leave Kong City! Today, I will only pick the children of the Zong family! Everyone listen to my order, I will only pick the children of the Zong family!"
The young man was already covered in wounds, and after being whipped like a torrential rain by Kong Yingshi, he fell to the ground screaming in pain, and soon passed out.
After hearing what he said, some disciples of the clan wanted to stand up, but when they saw this scene, they were so scared that they knelt on the ground obediently.
The other semi-saint families did not dare to offend the patriarch saint, but the great scholars of the Kong family and the six sub-saint families were not afraid. They completely listened to Kong Yingshi and only picked out the children of the patriarch family to beat.
People couldn't tell whether they were descendants of the royal family or not, they could only distinguish the official robes worn by the scholars of Qing State.
All the people of Qing are in trouble.
The most unfortunate thing is that someone who was already unconscious was beaten awake, and then fell unconscious again after being beaten again.
Then, the whole place was filled with the screams of the people of Qing.
When everyone saw that the problem was solved and Fang Sheng no longer needed protection, they shook their heads and turned to leave.
Some returned to the original sea eye, while others simply entered Kongcheng for fun.
On this day, all the restaurants, teahouses and inns in Kongcheng were full, and some people had no choice but to stay in brothels and houseboats.
The huge crowd gradually dispersed, and Yan Yukong and others were still standing at the foot of Daofeng Mountain.
They were quite sad just now, but now, seeing Kong Weishan and the others either unconscious or screaming on the ground, they really couldn't feel sad.
Therefore, Kong Detian, Kong Delun and other members of the Kong family decided to host a banquet in the evening to celebrate today's victory.
Then, they discussed the details of the banquet on the spot and almost held a literary meeting there.
It was not until after noon that all the great scholars, tired as they were, left one after another.
The scholars from various families who had been waiting rushed forward and carried their family members back.
After that came the wealthy and famous families, who rushed in as quickly as if they were rescuing a wounded soldier.
In the end, there were still 40,000 to 50,000 people lying on the ground, either unconscious or in too much pain to walk.
Although there were fewer and fewer people watching, there were still many people watching, and Yan Yukong and others finally finished their discussion and prepared to prepare for the evening banquet.
Before leaving, Yan Yukong glanced at those people.
These people can be found in all countries. They are relatively young and have lower cultural status.
"Alas..." Yan Yukong and others sighed helplessly.
These people should be children from poor families all over the place, who are willing to act as thugs in order to curry favor with wealthy families.
At this moment, they were worse than wild dogs.
Yan Yukong said: "Forget it, Delun, you are familiar with this place, you can send people to treat them, and I will pay for it."
Kong Delun said: "The cost of treating these tens of thousands of people is more than one million, which is also a big burden for you. I will find someone to save them. As for the money, they will pay for it themselves when they wake up. Those who don't have enough money will leave their fingerprints."
"Teach them a lesson today."
Afterwards, the Kong family came forward and took away all the injured in the square for treatment.
The bloodstains on the square were shocking, as if covered with crimson rose petals.
Finally, many officers came out to clean up the bloodstains on the square.
After everyone confirmed that the Kong family was leaving Kongcheng and returning to Qufu, they found it hard to believe.
No one would be stupid enough to think that it was Kong Weishan and others who caused the Kong family to leave. It was nothing more than the Kong family looking for an excuse. So, the biggest possibility is that Fang Yun came and forced the Kong family to withdraw from Kongcheng.
The flogging of Bairu became the topic of the entire human race for the whole day, so much so that many people forgot about the Tongsheng examination.
The examination for the scholar lasts three days, while the examination for the student only lasts one day.
At dusk, the examination for students was completed.
After handing in their examination papers, the candidates from the Confucius Literature Circle left the various examination halls, returned to the various literary academies, and walked out from the various literary academies.
As usual, many candidates cried as they walked. Some complained that they did not answer the questions correctly, some said that they read the questions wrong and did not have time to correct them, and some said that they were too nervous and panicked.
What was different from before was that this time there were more women among the people leaving the Academy.
The women were completely polarized. Some were extremely excited and chattering. Even those who didn't know each other gathered together and talked about gains and losses as they walked, not caring at all whether they could pass or not.
The other group of women cried with red eyes. None of the women had ever received any special exam training, and the Tongsheng exam was too difficult.
After leaving the Academy, the candidates learned that Fang Yun was besieged and someone was preventing him from taking the examination. All the women were extremely angry and, regardless of the announcement of the results the next day, they clamored to go to Kongcheng to protect Fang Yun.
The women were relieved only after learning that the matter was over.
As night fell, the Shengyuan Continent returned to peace.
Then, pieces of news about the imperial examination appeared on the discussion board, diluting the previous atmosphere of competition.
There are exactly seventy-one former holy students taking the examination today!
All of them are women!
This number exceeds any other examination for students of the human race.
Before this, it took many years for a saintly student to appear in the human race, and Jing Kingdom only had one, Fang Yun, who was said to be a record-breaking figure in Jing Kingdom.
Seeing this number, countless male scholars felt uncomfortable.
They had previously anticipated that even if there were a few women with amazing talent and fame, they would be mediocre in other aspects and would only be able to write some poetry.
However, one imperial examination produced 71 successful candidates, which directly overturned their conjecture.
There are many hidden talents among women, and there are a lot of them!
Then they found some particularly familiar women's names.
The vast majority of these pre-saint students are from saintly families, royal relatives, or wealthy and famous families.
For example, Zhao Hongzhuang of Jing State, and Yang Yuhuan, the wife of the Half-Saint.
