Kong Xixue's heart couldn't help but tremble when he heard this, he was already in his thirties and was not a hairy boy, so he hurriedly said: "The military master misunderstood, the title of Yan Shenggong has been there since the Song Dynasty and the second year. This is true, but now this Yan Sheng Gong of his family was indeed sealed by Kublai Khan at that time.

"I am in awe of the Ming Dynasty and the Hongwu Emperor, and my Confucian family is in awe, and my father is preparing to wait for the ice and snow in the canal to melt, so he will go to Yingtian to see my emperor. It's cold, you have worked hard, and you have prepared hot meals and hot dishes early in the morning, please don't dislike it. ”

As soon as he heard that there was something to eat, Qi Xiang's anger disappeared by two points, "Count your acquaintance of the Kong family, hurry up and put the food out." ”

"Qi Xiang is to the point, there is no one in this world who knows each other better than their family!" Ma Du sneered in his heart. Of course, there were countless Confucian scholars who "knew each other" in the Yuan Dynasty, and there were many scholars who praised Meng Yuan's stinky feet, such as Ma Du's old acquaintance Liu Ji, and Meng Yuan's widow was not a lot at all.

He is glad that this era can still give birth to many people who don't know each other, when the family members are placed under the steel knife, Huang Zicheng can still say to Zhu Di that His Royal Highness is too late to cut the domain. When Zhu Di asked if he was not afraid to punish your nine clans, Fang Xiaoru could tell what about punishing my ten clans.

Although they are pedantic and have stinky mouths, their iron bones have to be admired. No matter which Ma Du can't do it, it's Lao Zhu's descendants who cares who is the emperor.

The meal prepared by the Kong family for the Lao army was very good, a large piece of pork mixed with radish stewed crispy, filled with a black pottery bowl, plus two snow-white steamed buns, and those homeless gruel is simply different from cloud mud. Madu is not a monkey, and he can't save them from food if he can't conjure it.

Looking at Ma Du's remaining half of the bowl of vegetables and a steamed bun, Zhang Wuliu licked his tongue, "Sir, do you still eat it?" Ma Du was about to give him the rice bowl, but he heard someone behind him panting and said, "The military master and villain have rushed over!" ”

Ma Du turned his head to see that it was the young man he met on the road, and asked with a smile, "Have you eaten?" He handed him the bowl in his hand.

The boy looked at Madu's bowl and swallowed a mouthful of water, but took out the crotch of Madu's crotch and threw him half a cake before throwing it to him, and stuffed it into his mouth, which made Madu feel disgusted.

"Let's eat this!" Ma Du handed the pottery bowl to the young man, and Zhang Wuliu called it a pity.

"Thank you, Master Jun!" The boy took the bowl and went to the edge of the moat, and ate it with his back to the river, but his eyes were looking around, like a small beast that was eating.

Lao Liu smiled: "He is afraid that people will rob him of food, it must be a habit of wandering for a long time and cultivating it!" ”

Ma Du smiled: "If he didn't have this habit, I'm afraid he would have starved to death!" ”

The boy ate quickly, and after a short time of eating a bowl of steamed buns, he took out the half of the cake from the crotch of his pants, scraped the vegetable juice on the wall of the bowl and put it in his mouth. Madu couldn't help but retch, and turned his head, this kid is really enough.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of falling water, and when he turned around, he saw a servant fluttering in the moat, and the boy was running towards Mado.

After running a few steps, he tripped over a steward's outstretched leg, and the young steward stretched out his leg and kicked the young man in the stomach, and the young man screamed miserably, and squirted out a mouthful of food, holding his stomach and unable to get up.

The steward continued to kick and kick the boy, and suddenly a whip was wrapped around his ankle, and a force came, only to pull him to fall straight on all fours.

The whip was taken away, and the steward saw that it was the one who took the whip just now, and the young master had just instructed this person not to be offended, and he hurriedly said: "The dog slave of the military master stole the tribute of the Holy Master, and the villain beat him...... Ah! Before he had finished speaking, another whip was drawn on his body, with great force.

Ma Du gritted his teeth and said: "Who is the dog slave, you are the slave!" ”

The steward's words directly ignited the evil fire in Ma Du's heart, and with a wave of his arm, the whip rained down. His riding skills are not very good, but he makes a good whip. After a few clicks, the steward's clothes were torn, and it was a loss that he wore thick clothes in winter, otherwise he must have opened his skin.

Kong Xixue asked the steward to receive Ma Du and his party, but he went to the city to find the Ming army guarding the city to inquire about the origin of this group. He couldn't see the guards, and the guards didn't want to pay attention to him, so they finally spent some money before they spoke.

Regarding the results of the inquiry, Kong Xixue was a little shocked that this group of people turned out to be Zhu Yuanzhang's personal soldiers. The first thought that came to his mind was that Lao Zhu had sent someone to rectify his family, this kind of thing was unlikely to happen to other emperors, but in the case of Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born recklessly, this possibility was infinitely magnified.

When the servants hurried to report that they were beating their housekeepers, Kong Xixue couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, sure enough! He hurried outside the city gate, and saw the gentleman whipping his servant.

When he arrived at the side, he immediately shouted: "Master Jun, don't beat my housekeeper again!" But the other party just ignored him, and Zhu Yuanzhang's personal soldiers stopped him and didn't let him get too close.

"Dog minion!" Ma Du scolded viciously and took the whip, but the tip of the whip crossed a strange arc and slapped it on Kong Xixue's face impartially, and it was immediately a bloody whip mark.

Although he was looking at the beaten steward, Kong Xixue clearly felt that the words were for him, the whip was whipped on his face, but the words were whipped on his heart. The hot heart on his face was shocked and angry, angry because he had never been so humiliated again, and surprised because Zhu Yuanzhang's subordinates dared to be so presumptuous to him, almost tearing his face.

"Oh, I'm really sorry, this whip is floating around really not on purpose to hurt Mr.!" Ma Du looked guilty and blamed himself.

Kong Xixue almost gritted his teeth, but he couldn't tell that the other party was clearly sent by Zhu Yuanzhang to deliberately find the ballast, and at this time, he had to be calm, but he couldn't leave the other party with any handle, "Since it was an unintentional mistake, forget it, but why did you beat the housekeeper in the next house!" ”

"Huh...... That's because he beat my little girl! Madu pointed to the boy on the ground.

The steward was not injured by flesh and skin, and immediately knelt down to Kong Xixue's side, "Young master, this is here...... The thief sneaked into the temple and stole the offerings! ”

Without waiting for Concierge to speak, Ma Du said: "What this steward said may be true, I did see him take two apples with my own eyes on the way here. But he didn't take it for himself, but to worship his dead mother, I think he is a filial son, and he has no life, so I accepted him as a small servant. ”

Kong Xixue asked, "Is this true?" ”

"Five miles south along the official road, there is a new grave on the side of the road, if you don't believe it, you can dig it up and take a look, two apples are inside!"

Kong Xi learned: "I don't want to do the matter of digging people's graves, my Kong family doesn't do it, so I believe you." The first saint attaches the most importance to benevolence and filial piety, although this son has a small mistake but still has a great righteousness, so this matter will be done. ”

"Sure enough, it is Kong Sheng's elegance and elegance, since you don't pursue me, you have to pursue it, how can I compensate for beating my little girl!"
