The Dr. Kong in Zhu Tingfang's mouth, that is, Master Kong Jiu, really didn't dare to go out.

Zhu Tingfang's words relayed by Scholar Confucius's confidant wrapped around the gun and clamped the stick, and Master Kong Jiu felt bloody when he heard it, but he felt that after he went out, he might be stabbed in the chest by Zhu Tingfang, and his life would be ruined. After all, just looking at the people who are still alive and well, it can be seen that the horse running last night may have been led by the other party.

In that case, how dare he go to see this evil star? Is he dying? Don't look at my brother as the cabinet lacks only one nominal first assistant, but it's not easy for people to frame him for a crime?

Therefore, even if the Confucian scholar was furious, he pointed at his nose and scolded him bitterly, scolded him for not succeeding enough and more than failing, scolded him for spreading falsehoods and brought a bunch of people to the ditch, Master Kong Jiu also bit to death and did not let go, and kept saying that I am the Kong family, big brother, do you just see that I am dead? All in all, he only hoped that the Confucius University Scholar would invite Zhu Tingfang to speak here.

So, this movement alarmed Mrs. Kong's Gu, and Mrs. Zhao, the wife of Master Kong Jiu, heard that someone was looking for her master at the door before, and then the long street in front of the door was surrounded by soldiers and horses, and she also came over in a panic. As soon as the two of them met, but before they could figure out what was going on outside, they saw the thunderous Confucian scholar grab his cousin's collar.

"If it weren't for the fact that you heard the wind and rain, how could I have misjudged the situation? Now Zhu Tingfang just politely invited you out to talk, and he didn't rush in with soldiers and horses to get you, you are cowering here, are you a Jinshi Baikao? I don't have the courage at all, what an official! ”

Seeing that there was going to be a fight, the two women finally panicked completely. The Gu clan knew that Confucius scholars had a reputation for arrogance in the clan, and as many people who expected him to promote him were frustrated, there were as many people as they hated him; And Zhao knew that although his master was a jinshi, he was already forty years old when he passed the exam, and he was still in the top three, and finally relied on the brother of Confucius University to become a doctor of Zhengqipin Taichang.

If the two brothers fight out of the matter, it will really be a shameless brother and a shameless brother!

Therefore, the two women rushed forward without thinking, and the servants who accompanied them hurriedly stepped forward to help their mistress when they saw this situation. It took a lot of effort to finally drag the angry Confucian scholar away. At this time, the two sons and two daughters-in-law of Confucius University also hurried over, all of them full of anxiety.

However, there was still a commotion here, and Young Master Kong had just asked, what was going on, and the noise outside was even worse.

Gu Shi suddenly came up in annoyance, and shouted: "Go and see personally, who is so unruly?" Don't think it's a big deal to have soldiers and horses out there! If anyone makes any more noise, drag it down and hit twenty boards! ”

If this is said in normal times, then it is naturally forbidden. But here and now, not only was it useless, but the servant woman who had run out to give the order actually retreated again with a shocked face. Faced with this scene, not to mention that the Gu family has been an official wife for so many years, even her two daughters-in-law also feel that something is wrong.

Sure enough, not long after the servant woman returned, someone from outside walked in leisurely. I saw that the figure was upright, walking according to the sword, and the black boots under his feet stepped on the bluestone road, and the ground was clear and silent, but everyone who watched it felt as if it was stepping on their hearts, and it was so heavy that it made people's hearts beat drums.

After being shocked, the Confucian scholar couldn't help but shout: "Zhu Tingfang, you dare to trespass on my Kong family? ”

"I entered without telling him, but I politely asked someone to bring a message and asked Dr. Kong to come out, but Dr. Kong left me and those men under his command at the door for almost a quarter of an hour, is this the hospitality of the Kong family? Since someone doesn't take me seriously, then I can only come in on my own. ”

Zhu Tingfang choked back the Confucian scholar without giving an inch, and saw that people glared at him angrily, but he didn't see it, and turned his gaze directly to Master Kong Jiu: "Dr. Kong and my future sister-in-law used to be called the same doctor, but the behavior is really too different, right?" Is that how you want me to die? ”

Master Kong Jiu chuckled in his heart. Although there are many people who are afraid of the Zhu family in the Zhao State Mansion, there are many people in the court, but with the lessons of Jiang Ge Lao and several imperial histories in front of him, no one dares to act rashly. And where did he dare to respond to Zhu Tingfang's terrible words?

Therefore, he had just been pulled by the collar by the Confucius scholar, so he had to explain with a smile in embarrassment: "Master Zhu, you are serious, how can I be!" I just ran into the subordinate in Mr. Zhang's family yesterday, and it was he who said the wrong thing, so I was wrong. Don't blame my eldest brother, it's all my fault, I regret that I shouldn't have listened to people's words......"

"Huh." Zhu Tingfang laughed again, "Ah Liu is doing more than talking, and he doesn't like to talk too much about irrelevant people, so people who have nothing to think about him can easily be taken into the ditch by him." But who wants you to be foolish? And even if you think about it, you can go outside and swear that I'm going to die, this is a sentence of regret that you shouldn't listen to people's words and end it? ”

Seeing that Master Kong Jiu was like a clay carved wood sculpture for a while, he unhurriedly took out a book from his arms and waved it very casually: "Although I was very busy last night, I still had a free time, and the impeachment of you and Brother Ling has been written overnight." The reason why I want to see you is just to tell you in person. ”

Confucius University's face turned blue with anger. When you are impeached, you have to tell you to your face, how arrogant and arrogant this is!

But because of Master Kong Jiu's extra move, he wanted to ridicule him, but he couldn't find the right words for a while, so he could only sulk there. However, this is not the end of the story.

"Oh, by the way, I don't know who was planning last night, and it was making trouble in the palace again, and a group of rabble making trouble in various houses, it's just full of flaws, but it is actually implicated in a Ministry of Rites Wang Shilang, the two heads of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Works, it is really incredible to think about it. Isn't that crazy? ”

"What's even crazier is that I just want to ask Wang Shilang a few words, but he actually committed suicide directly with medicine, and I don't want to think that he is alive and things are still clear, and if he dies, he will let others splash dirty water! But the director of the Ministry of Works, Chu actually said bitterly that he was just trying to insist on his elders. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Tingfang smiled at the Confucius scholar: "I think that at the beginning, there were really many people like him who made suggestions. ”

Scholar Confucius was finally enraged: "Zhu Tingfang, if you want to frame someone for this crime, then you have miscalculated!" When we first made a suggestion, it was all a public heart! Whether it is a successor or a long-term leader, it is all impartial in the context of the time! Moreover, now that there is no heir, the two brothers are all guilty, and the prince should naturally be established! ”

"Oh, is that so?" Zhu Tingfang smiled slightly, and said casually, "If you really say this as you say, Scholar of Confucius, the people in your family should also know that you are so insightful, and you should be well-informed, why do you abandon the master and run away at the slightest movement?" You know, just before I came in, there were two people pushing a wheelbarrow at the door to transport furniture outside. ”

"Tsk, box after box of gold beads, that's really dazzling to me!"

This time, Confucius University Shiden gasped. He glared at Gu and Zhao angrily for a while, but he saw that his wife and brother-in-law were also full of anger, and he immediately realized that the two of them were also housewives, so they would not be so stupid and short-sighted. Sure enough, when he looked at his two sons and daughter-in-law, he found that his own son's face was pale, and his own daughter-in-law was shaky.

Now, if he doesn't know what's going on, he'll be a minister for many years. He was so angry for a moment that he had to open his hair, but after only glaring at the two of them angrily, he made up his mind that he couldn't admit it.

Behind closed doors, he can just beat his stupid eldest son to death, or divorce his eldest daughter-in-law, but if it is spread out that the soldiers and horses are coming to the door, and the family of his own family is busy transferring the softness, then the face of the entire Kong family will be lost! It's the same as just now that his cousin, Master Kong Jiu, refused to go out to face Zhu Tingfang!

Scholar Confucius immediately denied it: "Then there must be a servant who took the opportunity to steal the family's property, since Master Zhu intercepted it, then let you dispose of it!" ”

Seeing that Young Master Kong and his wife were standing there with a dejected face, Zhu Tingfang said unhurriedly: "Oh? Was someone stealing the Kong family's property? It is possible that in addition to the two boxes of gold beads, there are many simple-looking clothes, but in fact the material is very high-quality. As for those gold bead jewelry, the style is exquisite, and many of them are still inlaid with treasure and jade, and it is claimed that they were sent to a cloth shop in the West Fourth Archway. ”

Hearing that she was going to be sent to a cloth shop in Xisi Pailou, Gu's mother-in-law suddenly dropped the last bit of luck - no one in the family knew that the cloth shop was her eldest daughter-in-law's dowry industry! On weekdays, the eldest daughter-in-law always complains behind her back that she loves her little daughter-in-law, but now she is doing this stupid thing, but she doesn't want to think about it, if the family has really undergone a big change, as a wife of the Kong family, it will also be punished!

I have only heard that the married daughter died, and the mother's family came to ask for the dowry, but I have never heard that the husband's family was convicted, and the dowry of the married daughter can not be included in the list...... Her eldest son is also confused, what's the use of sending the gold beads out if something happens!

Although he hated it to death, Gu could only pinch his nose and take this matter on himself, but he lowered his head and said apologetically: "Master, I usually indulge my family, so that once something happens, it will be messed up." ”

Although he knew that the people in the family had run away, Zhu Tingfang was likely to play some tricks, but Confucius University really couldn't suppress his anger at this time, even if he knew that he shouldn't blame his wife too much, he was still angry.

"How are you in charge of this house, jumping up and down one by one, turning around and taking my post to the Shuntian Mansion to hunt down those fugitive slaves!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Tingfang touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "Speaking of fugitive slaves, I stopped a guy pushing a wheelbarrow in front of the door before, but he kept saying that he was employed by the gardener of the house, and he was just greedy for the comfort of a wealthy family slave, so he wrote a document to support him, and he was a slave under the door, and when he spoke, tears flowed down his eyes, and I let him go." ”

"I'm a little curious, could it be that with such a big family as the Kong family, and a scholarly family for generations, they would casually accept those who came in from outside?"

"It's ridiculous, if such people call themselves like that, do you take it seriously?" Confucius scholars were so angry at this time, "My Kong family is such a noble family, how can I be like some nouveau riche guys, all cats and dogs are collected at home!" ”

Zhu Tingfang knew that Confucius University Scholar was referring to Sang scolding Huai, which was nothing more than saying that Zhang Shou had a shallow foundation, even if he got the huge Zhang Garden, there were not enough people who could use it at home, not only a batch was urgently transferred from the countryside, but also recruited a few by Ah Liu in the market, and even Guan Qiu and Yang Zhan were all contracted to stay at home.

And that's not even counting the growing number of guests living in Zhangyuan......

If in the past, for such a prospective brother-in-law, Zhu Tingfang defended it with his lips, but he couldn't respond in his heart, but now he doesn't think so. It's not because Ah Liu inadvertently did him a great favor and severely cheated the Confucian scholar he wanted to deal with before, but because when he got the news last night and rushed to Zhang Yuan, he found that he was orderly and unharmed.

A person who has the responsibility and ability, and who is obviously in love with Zhu Ying, this may be difficult to find even with a lantern.

Therefore, he looked coldly at the Confucian scholar who had borrowed the question, and only after a long time did he sneer: "The mansion that was attacked last night, in addition to a few nobles in my family, there are also the two old cabinets of the cabinet Wu and Zhang, where Yue Shanchang and others live, and Zhang Yuan, who is my future brother-in-law, Zhang Shou and Zhang Jiuzhang. ”

"It's just that, compared to the Confucius scholars, who thought that a catastrophe was coming, Zhang Yuan's side not only captured all the thieves in one fell swoop, but everyone was unscathed, there were so many people from all over the world, and there was no one who abandoned his master and fled for his life. In contrast, the Confucian family really needs to be improved. Is the difference between the noble family and the nouveau riche so big? ”

Speaking of this, seeing that the whole person of Confucius University seemed to be about to explode, Zhu Tingfang flicked his sleeves lightly: "Okay, I have already said everything I should have said, farewell!" ”

But he turned around and didn't take a few steps, when he suddenly stopped again, and said without looking back: "I forgot, the person that the emperor assigned to Confucius before was to prevent external thieves and not internal thieves. ”

"After all, although my personal entourage has stopped two slaves who have stolen their master's property from their carts, they can't stop anyone from your house. In that case, if you spread the word, it might become me blocking the door of your house and forbidding everyone to enter or leave. I'm not a sister, I'm a person who does things, after all, I still have to be reasonable. ”

If you talk nonsense, you might as well block the door of my house unreasonably like Zhu Ying, so that I still have a place to be reasonable! Seeing that Zhu Tingfang disappeared from his sight like this, Confucius University was aggrieved and angry, and he suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and he actually fell headlong like this!
