Lu Tietuo was ordered by Kong Xingyi to kill Wang Xiao.

He rode his horse and galloped away from the Qufu territory, not knowing that the Kong family behind him was bleeding.

After running all night at all costs, Lu Tietuo finally entered Dong'e County when he opened the city gate in the early morning.

He took thirty people, arranged for ten people to take turns to step on the spot, and found an inn to rest for a while, ready to start at night.

"Big brother, it's all clear. That Wang Xiao was injured and was still lying in the post house unawakened. Although the post house was guarded by officers and soldiers, it was not very strict......"

Lu Tietuo listened for a while and ordered: "I have an idea, let's climb in from the back courtyard wall at night, cut Wang Xiao first, and then burn down the post house." ”

"Big brother, great idea."

The matter was settled, and the big men ate and drank a good meal, and waited until nightfall. They changed into black clothes and quietly lurked towards the inn.

Lu Tietuo held the knife and couldn't help but think in his heart: "Gongzi is really a decisive person, and he will assassinate a prince without hesitation." Who can be prepared for this. ”

The big man he sent to step on the point was called Zhai Tong, and he had a clear understanding of the garrison of the post house.

The group calculated the gap between the officers and soldiers patrolling and sneaked into the alley behind the post house, and after waiting for a while, a team of more than ten officers and soldiers walked by.

Thirty pounced, and the sword fell in hand to do this group of officers and soldiers. Although the officers and soldiers were armoured, Lu Tietuo was very skilled in martial arts, and one person killed five people in an instant.

"Turn it over."

It was two people high, and Lu Tietuo jumped forward, and his huge body landed lightly and skillfully on the wall, and then threw down a thick rope and pulled the other big men up.

"Zhai Tong, how to go?"

"Over there."

Lu Tietuo said in a low voice: "There are many people, and you are lying in ambush all around. Zhai Tong and I took two people to make Wang Xiao, and you set fire to it after half an hour......"

The group of men dispersed, and the four of Lu Tietuo's side sneaked towards the largest house.

There was a light in the room, and they lay outside and listened for a while, only to hear someone talking inside.

"Hey, Brother Wu, why don't you eat it?" It's a young man's voice.

Then, a middle-aged man responded, "I don't have a good appetite." ”

"It's really strange, Brother Wu, do you still have a bad appetite?"

"Worried. Guogong wanted to divide the land, and at first I thought it was a good thing for the country and the people, and I knew that it was difficult...... But I didn't expect the resistance to be so great. It has been almost four months since the proposal put forward in November of the previous year, and the funeral of the first emperor has been completed, and there has been a battle with Nanjing. Only this division of the field is difficult to make an inch. ”

"Oh, I don't understand this, Brother Wu, can you try this Jianglou roast chicken? It smells so good. ”

"Alas...... That's right? Do you know the Qufu Kong family? ”

"Then how could I not know? Haha, speaking of which? Our Wang family and Yansheng Mansion still have relatives. The young man's voice was a little smug? And said: "My sister-in-law's mother's family, that is, the Tao family?" You know that, right? ”

"With my friendship with Wang Zhen, can I not know?"

"What's that generation? The brother of the sixth ancestor of the sister-in-law is the former head of the Tao family in Guide Mansion, Henan......"

"Wang Zhen didn't tell me about this. Guide to the Tao family? It is much more prominent than the pottery family in the capital. ”

"Yes, the Tao family, the step-family of the current Yan Shenggong, is the daughter of the Tao family of Guide Mansion, so it can be regarded as a relative of our Wang family. My father and my uncle still wanted to give gifts to Yan Sheng Gong in the early years? Is it the time when the son of the Holy Father of Yan is full moon? My family specially sent a steward to Qufu to give gifts, and only then did I get an invitation from the Kong family at the banquet. It's easy to use when you get it back. When I entered the hall, there was a gentleman who still looked down on our Shangjia family, hey, my second brother took out the Confucian Mansion invitation? The gentleman's face changed, haha. Later, Yan Shenggong entered Beijing? My dad wanted to go to the meeting, but he didn't even let him in. ”

"When I was studying at Xiangshan Academy with Wang Zhen? He is also a disciple of Nishan Academy. The prestige of the Confucian family's connections cannot be underestimated, and the situation of this land annexation in Shandong? It can be described as freezing three feet, not a day's cold. How can I not be worried? ”

"So what can we do? Brother Wu, do you eat this tofu skin? Thin and tough? Delicious......"

Lu Tietuo outside the window cursed in his heart.

- Knowing that the Kong family is not good to provoke you, you still dare to provoke, Lao Tzu did Wang Xiao first.

He and Zhai Tong hid outside the window for a while, and saw a group of officers and soldiers patrolling elsewhere in front of a small courtyard in front of him, so he quickly pounced on them, and killed the guards guarding the door with a knife.

"Ahh Screams rang out.

"There are assassins!"

Lu Tieluo and the others didn't pay attention to it and rushed straight into the courtyard......

~~

"There are assassins!"

Wang Jue was eating happily with a piece of roast chicken. Suddenly, I heard a shout outside, and I was so frightened that the roast chicken also fell to the ground.

He shrank down, and the man was under the table.

However, after thinking about it again, Brother Xiao is still in a coma, and he and Wu Pei can take care of things in this post house, and it is not good to shrink here and not save Brother Xiao.

Thinking like this, he reluctantly crawled out from under the table.

"Brother Wu, let's go and save Brother Xiao'er."

Wu Pei was slightly stunned, and responded: "Yes." ”

The two ran out of the house, and ran towards Wang Xiao's courtyard while gathering the guards, only to see that the courtyard door in front had been kicked open, and a big man in black was setting fire to the courtyard, and another big man rushed into the house and slashed at the mattress.

In the moonlight, I saw blood spilling from the bedding, and it was a mess.

Wang Jue's mind was blank.

- Brother Xiao'er is dead?! He died like this, and he finally survived until now, and was hacked to death like this by two unknown people?

"It's on fire!"

"Walk the water......"

Suddenly, the whole post house shouted, and Wang Jue turned his head to look, only to see fires suddenly breaking out everywhere.

"Let's go!" Wu Pei shouted, pulled Wang Jue and ran out of the hospital.

"But...... Laughing brother ......"

Wang Jue was stunned for a moment, broke free from Wu Pei's hand, and ran back to the courtyard.

"Brother Xiao, are you dead? If you don't have a arrow, you squeak...... Wow, how can I explain to my uncle......"

~~

"Hahaha!"

Lu Tietuo lifted the mattress and saw that the person inside had become a bloody man, and he couldn't help but be very proud.

- What bullshit horses, national princes, and tens of thousands of troops, they were not hacked to death by Lao Tzu, a good man in Shandong, with a few knives.

Then he turned his head to look, and saw a fine-skinned and tender-fleshed boy standing outside, yelling at this side with his mouth open.

In the distance, the flames were blazing.

Lu Tietuo's heart was full of pride, and he shouted: "Zhai Tong, kill this kid again!" ”

"Good! At first glance, it has an identity. ”

"Haha, don't let him run."

Wang Jue was stunned for a moment - he really looked at it and had an identity.

Seeing the two big men running towards him, he ran away, turned around and crashed into Wu Pei, who was coming, and both of them fell to the ground.

"The fat man is also killed! At first glance, it is an official ......"

~~

When the post house caught fire, Sister-in-law Zhang was eating in the backyard.

Sister-in-law Zhang had also heard Wang Jue's little girl Cinnamon say that 'going out with the master to do things is blessed' Yunyun, this is the first time she has gone out with Wang Jue, and she has indeed eaten a lot of good things.

Today, Wang Jue ordered the famous Jiang family's wine and food in Dong'e County, he has always been generous, and specially let the restaurant bring enough food, and the guards around him also shared a share.

She took a bite of roast chicken, which was fragrant but not greasy...... This kind of taste is really unattainable outside the gates.

- Eat more now, wait for a few days to rob Wang Xiao, and there may not be this blessing in the future.

Thinking so, she picked up another piece of tofu skin, according to the official surnamed Wu, this tofu skin is produced in Dong'a Gaoji Town, thin as paper, tough as skin, and has been famous in Luxi for a long time......

The tofu skin had just been eaten, and before he could chew it, he suddenly heard a scream outside.

Sister-in-law Zhang put down her chopsticks and walked all the way to the courtyard where Wang Xiao lived.

Fires lit everywhere, and she quietly walked around to the back, where she saw a big man in black setting fire to the back. She tiptoed over, suddenly made a move, and directly strangled the other party to death.

Looking through the window, I saw a big man in black swinging a knife at Wang Xiao and was about to cut it down.

"Stupid, is Wang Xiao so easy to kill? There will be an ambush. She sneered inwardly.

Then the next moment, the ambush and reversal she expected did not appear.

"Haha, Lao Tzu killed Wang Xiao!"

The big man in black laughed wildly and lifted the mattress, and one of them was bloody and dead.

Sister-in-law Zhang was stunned.

"This ...... So loosely guarded? I knew I had robbed him......"

After a trance, she looked up again and saw that the three black-clothed men had already killed Wang Jue. There were more than ten guards in the courtyard to protect Wang Jue and Wu Pei, but one of the black-clothed men was strong in martial arts, and he killed most of the guards in a short time.

Sister-in-law Zhang thought that her mission had failed again, and she was angry. She looked around, pulled the man in black she had just killed, and began to strip her clothes.

~~

Zhai Tong was killing up, and he killed another official with a knife in his hand. Seeing that more and more guards were coming, he didn't want to fight, so he raised his knife and killed the richly dressed son.

The boy was so frightened that he screamed and ran fast.

Zhai Tong chased after him with a big knife, and suddenly saw another black-clothed man rushing out in front of him.

"Sixth brother, you're only fucking coming out now, stop him!"

Zhai Tong shouted, only to see that the sixth brother really stopped the boy. He smiled and caught up in two steps.

"Lao Tzu came to kill an official......"

With a "poof" sound, a knife pierced Zhai Tong's heart.

"You...... What the are you...... It's not the old six......"

"Lao Zhai!" Lu Tietuo shouted, rushed to the crown in anger, and pounced straight in this direction.

Sister-in-law Zhang was dressed in black, masked with black cloth, holding a knife in one hand and Wang Jue in the other, only to see that this little cub was trembling, she laughed shamefully in her heart, threw him away, and killed Lu Tietuo.

Lu Tietuo's eyes were full of anger, and he slashed it down.

Sister-in-law Zhang was also furious and raised a knife to meet her.

"When, when, when......"

Wang Jue's heart was terrified, and when he peeked, he saw two men in black fighting together, one was as strong as an ox, and the other was short in comparison, but the knife in his hand was as fierce.

He cautiously retreated a few steps back, and when he turned his head, he saw that Geng Dang had already led his troops to kill.

"Brother Geng, hurry! Kill that strong ......"

There was a loud "bang", and before Geng Dang rushed up, the thin man in black kicked on the waist of the strong man in black, and then slashed down.

In the blood splash, Wang Jue was stunned.

"Well...... Benefactor, you ......"

He looked and saw that the thin man in black had jumped onto the wall.

There are guards to chase.

"Let him go, he saved me." Wang Jue hurriedly shouted.

When he turned around again, he saw that the other party had jumped over the courtyard wall and disappeared......

~~

"Damn the Southern Barbarians, they're all idiots." Sister-in-law Zhang scolded in her heart.

She just hated it.

Why did he rob Wang Xiao It was so difficult that he wanted to rob him, but a few stupid thieves came and killed Wang Xiao.

Poor Mirda tried so hard, and even more pity that she had been hiding for so long in vain.

The inn was in flames, and she ran all the way back to her yard, changed her clothes, turned her head to look at the dishes on the table, and sat down to eat again.

After a while, Wang Jue rushed in and shouted, "Ouch, Sister-in-law Zhang, don't you know it's on fire?" Why don't you run with my silver ticket...... What a ......."

He rushed into the back room and took a stack of silver tickets from under his pillow.

"Let's go!"

Sister-in-law Zhang ran out after him, thinking that she should go back to Guanwai, and finally she didn't have to follow this stupid boy anymore, but it didn't work out, and she had to punish herself when she went back.

ran out of the yard and suddenly saw the General Geng lying on the ground crying bitterly.

"Grandpa Guo! I smashed the errand again...... I'm here to accompany you......"

Sister-in-law Zhang thought to herself that this guy was a brainless person, and she didn't know why Wang Xiao wanted to use such waste.

Seeing that General Geng pulled out his knife and was about to kill himself, she couldn't help but shout in her heart, "Okay!" ”

- Die quickly, you dog Nanban, you have been guarding Wang Xiao to prevent the old lady from catching him, but let a few thieves kill people, and the waste should be damned.

It's a pity that Wang Jue and the surnamed Wu rushed up and stopped him.

Sister-in-law Zhang was a little disappointed, and after thinking about it, it is okay, the Chu Dynasty has more such waste, and the Qing Dynasty will come to fight in the future.

The next moment, I heard the waste cry out in surprise: "Really? ”

"Be quiet, but it's okay, it's no secret. Presumably news will come back tomorrow......"

Sister-in-law Zhang stood far away, listened intently, and then heard Wu Pei sigh.

"Alas, it's still dangerous to divide the fields. It is easy to have many open guns, but it is difficult to defend against hidden arrows. If it weren't for the national government's decision, two days later, we would have lost this time......"

Sister-in-law Zhang understood in an instant.

She looked around, only to find that the number of officers and soldiers in the post house was more than half of what she had done two days ago.

- Wang Xiao, that kid is not dead yet, when will such a day end......

The officers and soldiers put out the fire and escorted the people in the post house to slowly withdraw.

Sister-in-law Zhang followed behind Wang Jue and Wu Pei, and she was resentful in her heart. Suddenly, I heard two horses running from left to right.

"Report! Texas Emergency, please take a quick look at the ......"

"Report! The Duke of Yu urgently summoned Lord Wu to Qufu ......"

Wu Pei took the letter from Texas first, and waved it away as soon as he turned his head.

Sister-in-law Zhang wiped her waist with both hands and walked away slowly.

But she had excellent ear power, and she still overheard a sentence.

"Dolgon has defeated Tang Jie......"

~~

At the same time, a storm is brewing in the land of Shandong......

In addition to the Confucian family, there are many other families in Shandong.

For example, the Gaomi Fu family, Fu Zhongxiu, the head of the Fu family, was tired of being an official to Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, and retired to his hometown in the fifteenth year of Yanguang. Last year, the capital of the Chu Dynasty was lost, and Fu Zhongxiu learned the news and had gray hair overnight. At this point, the news of Emperor Yanguang's death came out, and Fu Zhongxiu committed suicide and martyrdom. When Wang Xiao heard about this, he also sent someone to come to the door to offer condolences.

Another example is the Mao family in Ye County. The Mao family is endlessly in the Great Chuke Cicada, and most of their sons and nephews are official in Kedi, and there are many celebrities. Among them, the most famous figure is Mao Weizhi two hundred years ago, who was Xie Yuan Zhongguang, then Zhongjinshi, Xuanshu Jishi, all the way to Dongge University Scholar, plus the prince Taibao. He also quelled the rebellion of the vassal king, and added Shaobao and Wuyingdian scholars. The emperor wanted to confer on him the position of hereditary earl, but he couldn't resign, and after his death, he gave the official Taibao, nicknamed 'Wen Jian', which can be described as a generation of important ministers of the Chu Dynasty. Among the children of the Mao family, there are many scholars, there are officials, and there are literati and Confucians, and they are known as the "East China Sea family".

In addition, there is also the Sun family of Jining, the so-called "half of the wealth of the city is the Sun family", and the so-called "Jining Prefecture, 100,000 families, the most prosperous is the old Sun family", the Sun family has half of the land of Jining City, there is "riding a horse does not step on the road of the surname, and the horse is hungry and does not eat the grass in the field".

The Sun family is 'Sun Bancheng', the Xincheng Wang family is the 'Wang Banchao', there is a Chu generation, the Xincheng Wang family has more than 30 Jinshi, more than 100 officials, and there are many writings handed down, known as the "Qilu Wang clan".

There is also the Meng family of Zoucheng, which is a descendant of Mencius, and there is no shortage of people who have shined in the annals of history in the past dynasties, such as Meng Haoran;

There is also the Linyi Yan family, which is a descendant of Yan Hui, and it is also a person who has shined in the annals of history from all generations, such as Yan Zhenqing;

There is also the Jiaxiang Zeng family, which is a descendant of Zeng Shen, and the Zeng family's position as the 'Doctor of the Five Classics of the Hanlin Academy' in the Chu Dynasty is hereditary, not a high position, but it is still noble;

There is also the Liu family in Zhucheng, 'one family and three dukes, father and son slaughter together', during the Chu Guangzong period, the father and son of the Liu family entered the cabinet together, and there is a nephew who is the head of the household;

There is also the Anqiu Cao family, the Anqiu Cao family is engaged in farming, and since the Chu Dynasty, the imperial examination has become more and more prosperous, and there have been eight jinshi in one hundred years......

Wang Xiao wanted to propose to divide the land three months ago, and although not all of these clans were opposed, most of them were still opposed.

Naturally, there are noble people in the world who are willing to divide the land...... But in this matter, Wang Xiao is indeed unreasonable.

- Why should I give my inheritance to others?

If someone else comes to you for no reason and asks, 'Can you give your land to someone else?' Of course, they ignored it. But Wang Xiao has a large army in his hands, and things are in trouble.

Everyone is helpless, and they have to look at the meaning of the Kong family, if you use the words on the rivers and lakes, it is: your Kong family is the boss, and the big guy listens to you.

Therefore, each family sent a steward or a child of the family to discuss in Qufu, and when the news of Liu Zhongtong's death came, the matter became a little interesting, and all parts of Shandong sent more important people to Qufu.

Then, the families learned that Wang Xiao had killed Kong Yinzhi...... As a result, one stone stirred up a thousand waves.

All of a sudden, on the land of Shandong, the hooves of various official roads were running wildly, and countless messages were passed back and forth, like huge waves constantly surging, ready to shoot Wang Xiao down.

~~

Jining Province.

The Sun family was the fastest to get the news, and listening to the steward narrate the details of Kong Yin's killing, Sun Puze, the head of the Sun family, had a gloomy face and said, "This is a wolf cub, a bandit who wants money and doesn't want his life." Go and call all the offerings in the house. ”

"Master, this ...... This is to ...... He is a national prince. ”

"What's wrong with Guogong? Yan Sheng Gong is still a hereditary prince! The more Sun Puze said, the more scared he became, the more angry he became, and he patted the case: "Don't you understand how to strike first?!" If you don't do it, you can't wait for him to kill our Sun family?! Needless to say, when you encounter this kind of madman, kill it first, and you'll be ...... a hundred."

~~

Zoucheng County.

When Meng Hongyi, the head of the Meng family, heard the news, thought for a long time, and said slowly: "The four families of Kong, Meng, Yan, and Zeng have always been one, and we must not stand idly by in this matter. ”

Thinking of the fields of his own clan, he suddenly stood up, and his face was already resolute.

"Send my name post, inform all the friends of the Meng family, and the old man is going to seek justice for Brother Yinzhi......"

~~

Gaomi County.

Fu Ticketchu was dressed in white linen clothes and was kneeling in front of his deceased father's spirit to guard filial piety.

"Childe, Master Sun is fast and the horse is sending the message, and the Duke of Lai Guo ...... Kill the ...... of the Holy Father"

"Won't it?" Fu Ticket Chu said: "After my father was martyred, Lai Guogong also sent people to mourn, shouldn't he be such a person?" ”

"Childe, please take a look."

After a while, Fu Ticketchu raised his head from the letter, and the corners of his mouth were already sneering.

"Oh, it seems that he is determined to cut the flesh from us scholars." He looked at the spiritual position and muttered, "Dad, you are martyred for the sake of this Chu Dynasty." But people don't even want to leave us three acres of thin land......"

Saying this, tears fell from Fu Piaochu's eyes.

"Childe ......"

"Take my name post, invite all my classmates and friends to come, and we will go to Dianfu to mourn for the Holy Father......"

~~

Anqiu County.

"Heh, do this in order to divide the fields? I'm afraid you don't know when you're going to be in a different place......"
