Chapter 749: Guests Arrive
Wang Jue's footsteps were fast, and he ran quickly to the Mu Si Hall to the east of the third hall of the Kong family.
Kong Xingxie was whispering something to his little servant, and when he turned his head and saw Wang Jue rushing in, his face changed slightly.
Wang Jue glanced at the hall, became a little vigilant, and said, "What is the Holy Father of Yan doing?" β
Kong Xingxie smiled reluctantly and said, "Tomorrow's crown ceremony has something to arrange. β
"Really?" Wang Jue was a little suspicious, but he didn't notice it, and said, "Yan Shenggong, please come with me." β
Wang Jue is popular, but Kong Xingxie hates him very much - this hillbilly with missing front teeth dares to come to Kong's house to raid the treasure, and sooner or later he will be killed......
The eleven-year-old Yan Shenggong was resentful in his heart, but his face was not obvious, and he followed Wang Jue politely.
Behind them, Liu followed lazily, looking at Kong Xingxie's little head melon seeds, with a sneer in his eyes......
All the way to the Guan Gou Hall, Wang Jue didn't go in himself, but only sent Kong Xingxie in.
Then Wang Jue and Qin Xuance who were standing outside exchanged a look, Qin Xuance glanced at Fu Qingzhu beside him, and gave Wang Jue a big thumbs up quite secretly.
Wang Jue smiled, shrunk his neck and ran, feeling proud.
"Brother Xiao, I'll help you get here......"

In the Guangou Hall, Wang Zhen and Wang Zhu were still angry. Suddenly, I heard a knock at the door, and when I turned my head, I saw a well-dressed child walking in.
"Father-in-law."
"Yan Shenggong, you have said that you don't need to call me that."
"The father-in-law set things right for the Kong family and rebuilt the child with kindness ......"
Kong Xingxie said, and bowed again.
Wang Xiao's face was pale, and he didn't really refuse.
Kong Xingxie turned his head to look at Wang Zhen and Wang Zhu again, and asked very politely, "These two ......?"
"Well, these are my two brothers."
"Uncle, second uncle." So Kong Xingxie saluted again.
Wang Zhen had some sadness in her eyes, her heart was inexplicable, and she sighed imperceptibly.
Wang Zhu stared at the child's face, squinted slightly, and faintly flashed with murderous intent.
The killing intent was fleeting, and he turned to Wang and smiled, "What? Calling people here to show us your means? β
Wang Xiao touched his nose and said helplessly: "I didn't call the person." β
"Second uncle, please don't ask the father-in-law, is the child really filial? It wasn't the father-in-law who used any means. β
Wang Zhu sneered? waved his hand.
This is telling Wang Xiao - "You don't have to let a little hairy boy pose in front of me, there's no need." β
Wang Xiao had no choice but to let Kong Xingxie retreat first.
"Yan Shenggong will go and rest first, right? to cope with tomorrow's crown. β
Kong Xingxie responded very obediently? When leaving, he also said goodbye to Wang Zhen and Wang Zhu with the etiquette of his children......
"Children at a young age can do this, I'm afraid they can't stay." Wang Zhu said lightly.
Wang Zhen sighed again? Said: "It was my surprise, but he was willing to cooperate?" It's a blessing in misfortune. Didn't expect that? After the saints, there is no integrity. β
"I think he's very pitiful, so big that he has to hover between tigers and wolves, and his mind is seen through at a glance? I can only play hard......"
~~
Kong Xingxie quit the Guangou Hall? In front of everyone, I only felt that I was being called around, as ridiculous as a clown jumping off the beam.
He was under the care of Liu Yikou, and he wanted to go back all the way, but he thought of the news that his little servant Mo Heng had passed on to him just now.
ββThe Qi Ning Sun family has already sent forty highly skilled worshippers to Qufu, intending to be Wang Xiao.
Kong Xingxie gave Mo Heng the tokens, maps, and known information about Wang Xiao of the Confucian Mansion.
Kill Wang Xiao tonight? Tomorrow, everyone in Shandong will come to be the master of the Kong family......
Thinking of this, his whole heart trembled faintly.
~~
"The adults from all the ministries are here? Tomorrow I will give the crown ceremony to the little hairy boy, two or three days at most? Lao Tzu is about to return to Jinan with Guogong. The shepherd said slowly: "Xiulan, are you willing to go with Lao Tzu?" β
Dou Xiulan turned her head? Staring at the shepherd's beard? Confused.
A while? She said slowly: "No, my identity ......"
The shepherd was displeased, and with a slump of his beard, he got up and went to the window and looked out.
Dou Xiulan looked at his sturdy body, her expression became more and more distressed, she put on her clothes and walked over, and rubbed her fingers on her face with the herd.
"I've been widowed for 30 years, and I still can't get the archway, alas, ......"
"That archway has a hammer, can it be eaten as food? Can it make you live like a real woman? You just say it, do you want to live with Lao Tzu, or do you want to live with the archway? β
"I ...... I'm forty and four, and I'm old. I'm going to elope with you again, like what? Besides, I'm still a Kefu ......."
"you. Lao Tzu told you that we are about to steal all the money of the Kong family, and you will not have a good life if you stay. Besides...... Hey, who's that? β
At this time, the two hid in the attic of the back mansion of the Confucian Mansion, which was quite high and could see the back garden.
Dou Xiulan followed the shepherd's gaze and saw five or six women walking into the back garden.
"Isn't that just an ordinary girl."
"Hey, a man." The shepherd said, "Isn't there someone else in this house who steals like us?" β
Dou Xiulan, the old festival woman, heard such embarrassing words, and felt that her face was burning in a panic, and she saw the shepherd tearing off her clothes and putting them on, and she grinned and said, "Ha, you can also make meritorious contributions by stealing something fishy." My old sheep is lucky. β
As he spoke, he reached out and pinched Dou Xiulan's old face.
"You mother-in-law, Wangfu's life ......"
~~
Jinyi Wei commanded Geng Shubai, Jinan deputy chief Qin Xuance, Ben Ruijun general Cai Wuzhen, when these three people left the Confucian Mansion, the soldiers behind them each held a small wooden box.
With gloomy faces, the three of them mounted their horses and marched to their temporary camps......
"Summoning all the generals of more than 100 households to discuss!"
"Do you know why Guogong didn't transfer you to do things this time?!"
With a "snap", the small wooden box was thrown to the ground. Letters and pages of accounts fell out of it.
"Our Jinyi Wei has always copied silver, when did it change to cashier?" Uncle Geng's face turned pale, and he said, "Escort these people down......"
"Cashiers are cool, aren't they?" Qin Xuance scolded angrily, "Is it that someone is sending silver over, and if you don't accept it, you won't accept it?!" You don't think you have to do things for them, do you? Lao Tzu tells you that buying this silver may be your life......"
"If there are any more people who dare to take bribes, take this as a warning." Cai Wuzhen threw away the bloody knife in his hand with a cold expression......
"In addition to those who have received the money from the Kong family, there are also those who have received money from other families, and now they can stand up to avoid death......
"You stay, there are those who dare to leak the military aircraft, and there is no forgiveness for killing......"
On this day, a column of soldiers from the Jinyi Guard, the garrison battalion of the Ji Army, and the Benrui Army spread out inside and outside the city of Qufu.
At the same time, simple or luxurious carriages drove into Qufu.
Nominally, they are here for the enthronement ceremony of the new Yan Sheng Gong, but behind this is the interests of each of them.
There were also more scholars who rushed to Qufu and gathered with the scholars who had already entered the city in the past four days, and discussed with righteous words.
~~
"Wang Xiao has arranged a lot of manpower in order to knight Xingxie's child tomorrow."
On the carriage, Meng Hongyi, the head of the Meng family in Zoucheng, lifted the curtain and looked at it for a while, and said slowly, "But no matter how many soldiers and horses are arranged, we don't have to be afraid of him." He is just a cowardly, bluffing, and vicious villain. β
The middle-aged man sitting opposite him was Zeng Wenda, the head of the Jiaxiang Zeng family, and said, "Uncle Shi." We don't have to come to Qufu, we can easily make Wang Xiao's reputation stink. lost the heart of a scholar, and within two years, he would die and his reputation would be ruined. β
Meng Hongyi has been a tough stance of wanting to be the master of the Kong family all the way, and after hearing Zeng Wenda's words, he was stunned for a moment, smiled, and waved his hand: "Why bother? What's in it for us to push people into a hurry? β
Zeng Wenda squinted slightly, understood what Meng Hongyi meant, and muttered: "In this way, this son can be killed with a fast knife, and it is not good to kill with a slow knife." β
"We are scholars, let's talk about it, these days, Taiping is the most difficult to buy."
After a while, the carriage stopped, and someone handed a letter to report it.
Meng Hongyi opened it and looked at it, and said slowly: "The officials of Jinan and the subordinate officials of the King of Qi have already arrived, and the King of Qi has sent Zuo Jinglun to maintain the situation. Don't worry, we still have Wang Xiao's movements......"
~~
In another carriage, a pale old man closed his eyes.
"Darkness, darkness." The old man sighed, "In this world, how can you see the avenue of my generation?" β
His name is Mao Jiuhua and he is from the Mao family in Ye County.
The young man sitting with him was a son of the Zhang family in Ye County, named Zhang Duan, who was a jinshi in the seventeenth year of Yanguang and was awarded the title of Jishi of the Hanlin Academy.
Zhang Duande's cleverness was that the capital was not broken, and he had already seen the opportunity to flee back to Ye County.
This time, the Zhang family didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the Kong family, but they were worried that other big families and Wang Xiao had decided to divide the land. So he sent Zhang Duan.
Listening to Mao Jiuhua's sigh at this time, Zhang Duan nodded casually and replied casually: "Yes, since Wang Xiao came to Shandong, the world has become darker and darker. β
Mao Jiuhua said slowly: "Actually, dividing the field is not a bad thing, it benefits the field...... Presumably this time, the Meng family and the Zeng family wanted to stand up for the Holy Mansion and suppress Wang Xiao's arrogance, but the old man felt that it would be good to divide the fields of the Shengyan Mansion. What do you think? β
Zhang Duan smiled heartily.
- As long as I don't divide my field, it's fine......
"Uncle Shi is very ......"
~~
On top of a high-rise building in Qufu, Sun Yanbin is standing by his knot.
He is the son of Sun Puze, the head of the Sun family in Jining.
Watching the Quartet carriage heading towards the Kong family, Sun Yanbin sneered slightly.
- I won't have to worry about you all having ghosts, our Sun family will take the lead for you, and we will solve this trouble tonight......
