Outside the gate of the Confucian Mansion.

"Hurry up, rush in and rescue Yan Shenggong, and each person will be rewarded with ten taels of silver!"

Qufu County Ling Kong Zhenkan brandished his sword and roared.

The young men who had gathered in a hurry in front of him carried ladders and swarmed forward with a mess of various weapons, rushing towards the closed gate under the plaque of the Holy Mansion, and rushing to the high walls standing on both sides, but at the moment when the words of the county commander fell, soldiers with bows and arrows suddenly appeared on the wall, and before the attacking young men approached, sharp arrows flew out of their hands, and then those young men who had no tactics at all fell in pieces.

Then the rest immediately turned around and ran back.

Obviously, ten taels of silver can't make them desperate to save the Holy Father.

Although they are likely to be surnamed Kong, and it is even likely to be a distant branch of the Kong family, and there are other surnames that have a deep relationship with the Kong family, but there is only one Yan Shenggong, and the glory of this mansion has nothing to do with them for a long time, since they are so idle to fight for Kong Yinzhi?

Could it be that in the future, Kong Yinzhi will reduce their rent and not go back, and those who escape from the battle will be killed! ”

Kong Zhenkan screamed like madness.

Immediately after that, the officials beside him took knives and threatened forward, and the chaotic young men looked at each other, and then turned back very reluctantly, saying that the county magistrate was still in power after all, and the young men carrying the ladder once again launched a chaotic charge......

But that's when the door opened.

Then a man in black with an eyepatch on his face walked out with a copper-skinned trumpet in his hand, stood under the plaque of the Holy Palace, looked at the rabble with disdain, and then raised the trumpet to his mouth......

"Open the warehouse and release the grain!"

He shouted in a long voice.

The rabble stopped as if they had received some order, and then stood no more than ten feet from the gate with their weapons and ladders on their backs, looking at him in disbelief.

"King Yang Feng has an order, open a warehouse and release grain, all the people of Qufu, each family has a stone of grain, a piece of cloth, everyone goes to the Yangsheng Gate to receive, in addition, King Yang Feng said, King Qin's army everywhere he goes to open a warehouse to release grain, he is to imitate King Qin, the people do not need to worry about receiving it, let alone worrying about the revenge of the Kong family, saying that the Ming Emperor has gone south, who else will support them in the Kong family? Could it be that Li Zicheng will support him? Li Zicheng didn't come to rob him, he would have already given this plaque a little face, and besides, after we left, would there be any Confucian Mansion, wouldn't it all depend on your intentions? You know, sometimes it's easy to catch fire when the house is big. ”

He continued to shout in a demagogic tone.

At the same time, a group of slaves of the Kong family behind him were escorted out, all the slaves carried grain bags on their shoulders, walked in front of him and put them down one by one, a soldier took a knife and cut a bag very casually, and the soybeans in it flowed out instantly, which was particularly eye-catching under the light of the fire, like golden beans, and the eyes of those young and strong people lit up.

It is said that at this time, Qufu and the surrounding places were all in famine.

During Chongzhen's visit, Kong Yinzhi also deliberately engaged in charity soup soup for him!

Of course, only in Qufu City.

According to the investigation of these days Jinyiwei, whether it is Yanzhou Mansion or Qufu, in fact, it can be described as starving all over the wilderness, the common people even have no grass roots and bark to eat, and eating Guanyin soil can be seen everywhere, and this famine has lasted for a long time, from the thirteenth year of Chongzhen to the present, the entire southwest of Lu has always been under the repeated toss of drought locusts, and even Qufu has been besieged by hungry people. In this case, even if the gentry knew that there would be danger, they did not dare to take out food for disaster relief, because they did not know how long the famine would last, which was also the reason why Gao Yigong destroyed the withering and decaying, and his opening of the warehouse and release of grain was tantamount to a fairy sound for the people in the famine, and the hungry people everywhere were all looking forward to the arrival of his army day and night!

It's just a relief, but no one cares.

The common people, who have been tormented by the famine for many years, are willing to die as long as they can eat a full meal.

Otherwise, how could Li Zicheng sweep the world, the ordinary people who were driven crazy by hunger would go desperately as long as they had a glimmer of hope, even if this hope was just to quench their thirst, no one cared.

Then it's the same here.

"What are you looking at, why don't you come and get it soon!"

The man shouted.

The young men hesitated.

Of course, they know what it means to receive food in the past, and they also know who owns these grains, and the Kong family has accumulated power over their heads for hundreds of years, but the problem is that the temptation of this thing is too great! Most of the people in the city don't have overnight food, and before the emperor came up, they were all digging wild vegetables and grass roots and picking bark! Although the Kong family set up a porridge shed, in fact, before the emperor came, it was rice water, and it was slightly muddy than Qingshui, and it was only changed to real porridge in three days after the emperor came up.

That means that tomorrow their hungry family members will have to go out and pick up tree bark.

Even the bark is running out.

The allure of this grain is really irresistible!

Originally, they were actually eager for the Shun army to release grain, after all, Gao Yigong did this all over the way along the way, and even the recent Yanzhou has begun, but Qufu is different, Qufu is the territory of Yan Shenggong, it is said that Yan Shenggong has made friends with the King of Qin, not only to the King of Qin but also to send the army silver, so it is very likely that even if the Shun army comes to Qufu, it will not open a warehouse like other places to release grain......

After all, Qufu's grain is in the Kong family.

And the Kong family is the Holy Father of Yan, even Li Zicheng has to give some face.

In this way, there is no hope for the Shun army.

But now......

"I see who dares!"

Kong Zhenkan shouted loudly.

"This is the grain of the Yansheng Gong's family, whoever dares to move is a bandit, and he will be beheaded all over the house, work together to rescue the Yansheng Gong, I promise that each family will reward a stone of grain!"

He then shouted.

The young men were still hesitating.

"Then do you believe in us or in the Holy Father!"

The man shouted.

Those young men looked at each other, who do they believe? Of course, you believe in him, but don't you believe in him but believe in the Holy Father? Although this is a bit funny, in fact, everyone understands that these guys are more trustworthy than Yan Shenggong, because Yan Shenggong can break his word, but these thieves will not! These thieves are here to rob gold and silver, not food. And the only danger of doing so is the revenge of the Yan Sheng Gong in the future, but as he said just now, when they are gone, isn't this Yan Sheng Gong a lamb in the hands of the people of Qufu?

One of them finally took a step.

Kong Zhenkan's face changed, and he rushed forward without hesitation, holding a sword and about to cut him, but at the same time, more than a dozen arrows flew out of the wall, and the county commander was immediately pierced into a hedgehog, and then fell to the ground in pain.

"So, what are you waiting for? Don't you want to have enough to eat? ”

The man shouted.

At the same time, he stepped forward and kicked a bag of grain away.

In the cracked grain bag in mid-air, rice fell like rain in the firelight......

The excitement of this scene finally made those young men unable to hold back any longer, as if they had received some order, everyone let out a crazy roar at the same time, and then abandoned their weapons, desperately pounced on these bags full of food, poor Kong Zhenkan did not swallow his breath, and immediately turned into a bloody mass of rotten meat in the trampling of countless big feet, and even those servants threw away their weapons and joined the ranks of grabbing food.

"Don't worry, if you don't get it, you will go to the Holy Gate and wait, the Kong family still has more than 100,000 stones, and every family has a share!"

Yang Qing shouted with satisfaction.

With that, he threw the trumpet to one of his subordinates and turned to leave.

Of course, he will also be a member of the first year of high school.

In this famine, nothing can make people lose their minds more easily than food, what government, what Yan Shenggong, even Chongzhen is here, they can't stop the hungry people who rush to the grain, everything is scum in the face of thunderous hunger, the imperial power is scum, the saint is scum, even he is scum, and then the people of Qufu will not care about anything else, the Kong family still has hundreds of thousands of stones of grain waiting for them to divide, and what he needs next is to continue his work.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Qing returned to Dacheng Hall.

"You dog thief!"

Kong Yinzhi scolded tremblingly.

"You're naughty again!"

Yang Qing said happily.

Countless pockets were now placed in the hall, all filled with gold, silver, and even jewels, and more of the same were still being carried by the soldiers, and outside the hall other soldiers were loading their horses. This was under the leadership of those Confucian family disciples, from all over the Confucian family, in order to avoid the suffering of sticks, these well-pampered Confucian family children had no choice but to break the wealth to avoid disasters, fortunately, Yang Qing only needed gold and silver treasures, and their fields and grain could not be snatched.

Of course, they didn't know that their food would not be saved.

"General, there are not enough of them!"

Gao Dejie said.

"How many are estimated?"

Yang Qing asked.

"At most, it will not exceed 300,000, and you have to count those jewels, although our soldiers must have private collections, but they dare not hide these large pieces of gold and silver, at most they will hide jewelry, even then the number is far less than a million, and the gold and silver alone are only more than 200,000."

Gao Dejie said.

"This is impossible, since he is willing to take 200,000 yuan to buy us to withdraw, then the Kong family's collection of silver must far exceed this number, and you see that these gold and silver are very new, even if the Kong family has not suffered much disaster in the past thousand years even from the Tang Dynasty, neither Song Jin nor Hu Yuan has really touched them. Even this Confucian Mansion has not been touched, it is impossible for such a family to only have this kind of new condition, their real silver vault has not been touched at all, it must still be hidden underground somewhere, bringing everyone else in the Kong family except Kong Yinzhi together, and then piling up firewood and pouring oil underneath. ”

Yang Qing said.

Then he squatted in front of Kong Yinzhi and said: "Yan Shenggong, don't say that I won't give you a chance, if you want silver, you will destroy the door, if you want your family, you will pay for the silver, and do it yourself!" ”

Kong Yinzhi stared at him deadly, his eyes full of resentment......
