Seeing that Qiu Changyuan, who had been careful in front of him in the past, and who had lowered his eyebrows and was obedient, actually appeared in front of him so magnificently, Kong Chengqing felt a little tired in his heart, and couldn't help but snort coldly. It's just that because of the current situation and the use of the other party, he didn't have a seizure, but as the son of the Kong family, it is impossible for him to come forward to explain.

He was silent, but those big families would not ignore the local parents who rushed over, and immediately some people fell to the ground and shouted with grievances: "I still hope that the eldest master will make the decision for us." The Kong family borrowed our grain before and didn't pay it back, so that's it. This time it was actually burned, but how can we live in the future? ”

"Yes, please ask the eldest master to make decisions for us, this is what our family depends on to survive." While talking, many people knelt down in unison, and even kowtowed frequently to the county commander, full of piety.

At this time, the unrelated people who were watching the excitement around also clamored, saying that they wanted the county to make decisions for these people and ask for food. People are sympathetic to the weak, although these big families also belong to the strong side on weekdays, but compared with the high-ranking Yan Shenggong Kong family, it is really not worth mentioning.

Seeing that there was such a situation where everyone was shouting and beating, Kong Chengqing's face became more and more difficult to look at, and he immediately gave Kong Xun next to him a look and asked him to come forward to negotiate. The people from this county government called by themselves, and why did they bring trouble to themselves.

Kong Xun stepped forward willingly, and only bowed his hand to Qiu Changyuan and said: "Qiu County Order, can you not listen to such a diao people's words, my Confucian family is noble, and it is a family heirloom with poetry, books, etiquette and righteousness, how can you do such a thing that violates the king's law?" ”

"What Steward Kong said also has some truth, and the official naturally can't listen to it and believe it. However, since they have grievances, this official, as a Qufu magistrate, cannot fail to ask. After Qiu Changyuan paused, he glanced at Kong Chengqing in front of him and said: "Last night, this official also saw the sudden fire in the Confucian Mansion, I don't know if this matter is really as they said, it was caused by the fire in the granary of your mansion?" ”

"This ......" Kong Xun hesitated slightly, but finally nodded and agreed: "Yes, there is a big mystery in this matter, after my Kong Mansion put out the fire, I have begun to strictly investigate, but these people suddenly came to the door." ”

"Is the grain in the storehouse actually theirs, as they say?" Qiu Changyuan asked again.

Faced with this question, Kong Xun was obviously a little difficult to answer, and subconsciously turned his head to look at his son-in-law, until Kong Chengqing nodded slightly, he replied: "That's true." However, what they refer to is that my Kong family deliberately burned grain, which is nonsense and completely slanderous! ”

"You're talking nonsense, if it weren't for your idea of beating us with food, why didn't you give us back the food two days ago? On that day, we came to ask for it, but you rejected us for various reasons, and even kicked us out! Immediately, a person retorted loudly, but it was Mao Guang who asked to see Kong Chengqing that day.

Seeing him speak like this, Kong Chengqing's face became even more ugly, and he couldn't help but shout: "Full of nonsense, what is the identity of my Kong family, how can I be greedy for your little food?" ”

"In that case, then you should return the grain!" At this time, Mao Guang had already let go, and immediately sneered at each other: "In my opinion, you just want to ignore our large amount of food, so you set this fire yourself, who knows if you hid the grain elsewhere earlier, and then burned some firewood to cover people's eyes." ”

"You...... It's just nonsense! Kong Chengqing was so angry that he took two steps forward and shouted at Qiu Changyuan: "Qiu County Order, as an official of the imperial court, do you actually ignore these vicious barking and ill-intentioned Diao people?" Why don't you take them all down and punish them? ”

"Gongzi Kong, the merits of this matter have not yet been decided, how can this official take people at will." Qiu Changyuan immediately rejected the other party's request: "Since this official has taken over this case, he should investigate it and find out the truth, so as to give you justice." ”

Hearing that he dared to refuse him directly, Kong Chengqing's face sank, and he immediately stared at him and said coldly: "Qiu County Order, how are you going to find out about this matter?" ”

"Of course, it is necessary to go to the place where the fire started and investigate it in detail, so as to determine who is right and who is wrong." Qiu Changyuan immediately gave his thoughts.

And what responded to him was a sneer from Kong Chengqing: "Do you want to enter my Confucian Mansion to investigate the case at will?" Hehe, I'm afraid that your little seven-rank county order is not qualified enough. My Kong family is the Yansheng Mansion of the Imperial Court, even if there is any case, the Imperial Court will have to send someone to investigate it carefully! ”

"This ......" Qiu Changyuan was really squeezed by his words. Indeed, in terms of identity, he is really not qualified to walk around the Confucian Mansion at will to investigate, of course, if others allow it, it will be another matter. However, being treated by Kong Chengqing in front of so many people and pointing out his low status still made Qiu Changyuan extremely uncomfortable, and his face became ugly.

Just when the situation became a little tense again, a majestic voice sounded from the side of everyone: "He is not qualified to enter your Confucian family to investigate the case, so what if he is replaced by an official?" ”

Because everyone was attracted by the exchange of words between these people, almost no one noticed that another group of people was walking slowly at this time. When everyone was shocked to follow the prestige, they saw a young man in a crimson official uniform with an extraordinary aura walking in under the escort of many flying fish suit brocade guards.

Under the surprised gaze of everyone, he passed through the crowd and stopped directly in front of Kong Chengqing: "But I don't know if I, Lu Jin, the governor of Shandong, am qualified to go to your Kong family to find out the truth of this case?" ”

When Lu Zhen suddenly appeared, Kong Chengqing already felt a little wrong. Two days ago, their people had brought back the news that the governor had been sick for more than ten days, and there must be something wrong with this, and it was even very likely that the mysterious person hiding in the Qufu County Yali was himself. Before they could confirm this, the governor of Shandong, who was unpredictable and unbearable for the Kong family, suddenly appeared in front of his door, and also proposed to enter the case to investigate, which made Kong Chengqing's heart suddenly pinch up, knowing that things were beginning to get out of his control.

After hesitating for a long time, he stared at Lu Zhen and said, "Are you really my Shandong Governor Lu Jinlu?" ”

"Bold! The name of the governor is not what you call at will! Immediately, a brocade guard scolded.

Lu Zhen waved his hand lightly disapprovingly, and then looked back at the other party: "If it is fake, I think no one in the world will be bold enough to pretend to be the governor of a province, right?" Moreover, even if someone dares to do such a thing, this brocade guard is not something that ordinary people can disguise. ”

"In that case, then Lord Futai is not busy with official business in Jinan, why did he come to my small town of Qufu?" Kong Chengqing continued to ask suspiciously.

"Of course, it was because the official admired the name of the sage of the Confucian family and came to visit." Lu Jin was also not moved, and said with a solemn expression: "I just didn't expect it, but I saw such an unacceptable side." However, the official still believes that the Kong family will not do such illegal things. ”

"In that case, what else do you want to investigate?"

"Although the official believes in the innocence of the Kong family, Wang Fa makes me unable to fail to investigate. This matter is related to the prestige of the Yansheng Mansion, and it is also related to the trust of the children of Confucius in the world, how can this official not be cautious? Lu Jin's answer was very reasonable, and it was impossible to refute it.

It's Kong Chengqing, and I don't know how to refuse at this time. After all, the identity of the person is here, and it is no longer possible for him to send people with a tough attitude like he did with Qiu County's order. And this also made him more vigilant in his heart, after all, if his expectations were good, this person had been lurking in the Yali of Qufu County for more than ten days.

And this time the matter is so strange and so coincidental, it is even very likely that the governor is planning and promoting it behind it. Thinking like this, Kong Chengqing was even more panicked in his heart, and his face turned from the iron blue just now to a pale, this was the first time he felt panicked.

But Lu Zhen didn't give him time to delay at all, and then spoke again: "Gongzi Kong, although you are the son of the Confucian family, you are not the Holy Duke of Yan after all, I am afraid that you are not qualified to say this to this official." Please also go back and report to the Holy Father, so that he can come forward to discuss this matter with the official. ”

What is the current world newspaper, this is it. Just now, Kong Chengqing was still ridiculing Qiu Changyuan's lowly status, and in a blink of an eye, he was squeezed by Lu Zhen with the same rhetoric. And he really can't say anything about this, after all, the governor of a province is already a feudal official, or a Qincha, and he can be equal to Yansheng in terms of identity, and he can't be compared with himself as a son of the Confucian family who has no official or position. This made Kong Chengqing's face change again, but among the people around him, there was already a burst of ridicule, and even Qiu Changyuan showed a meaningful smile.

Being humiliated like this made Kong Chengqing's body tremble a little with anger. But in the face of Lu Jin's strong official pressure, he couldn't attack again, so he could only snort coldly, turn around and walk back. He was not willing to obey Lu Jin's dispatch, but he really couldn't stand the mocking eyes of the people around him, so he had to retreat and avoid it for the time being.

And after Lu Zhen saw him retreating, he came to those big families who were kneeling on the ground, glanced at them with a frown, and said: "What you have done today is indeed extremely inappropriate, after all, this is the mansion of the Yansheng Prince, how can you be allowed to act arbitrarily?" However, since the official knows about this, he will definitely find out about it. If what you say is false, you will be punished severely. Of course, if it is finally found out that this matter is indeed deliberately done by the Kong family, this official will definitely uphold justice for you and let them return the grain in full. ”

Hearing his righteous remarks, all the big families worshiped and admired again, and the people who were watching the excitement on the side couldn't help but shout hello, shouting Lord Qingtian......
