Chapter Seventy-Five: My Favorite Sticks

An hour later.

Confucius Temple Dacheng Hall.

"Kong Yinzhi, are you guilty?"

Yang Qing, who was wearing a black blindfold, sat upright behind the offering table with his back to Kong Qiu's spiritual seat, looking at Yan Shenggong who was escorted in, just like Bao Longtu in the TV series, he slapped the stunned wood, and shouted in a long voice.

On his head, the plaque of the Ten Thousand Masters Table shines impressively.

The process by which he took the Confucian Mansion was simple.

Although the Confucian family has a special identity, it is not the feudal kings who opened the mansion after all, let alone the warlords with heavy troops, and the people who defend this mansion are nothing more than some domestic slaves, in fact, Kong Yinzhi's Yan Shenggong is only the second grade in the Ming Dynasty, which is slightly higher than Yang Qing's from the third grade, of course, he also has a prince and a prince. Even Cao Youyi said that his family was the number one bully in Yanzhou Mansion, and he was a little promoted by him, and there was King Lu in the city next to him! When it comes to bullies, he has to be behind King Lu's family. At this time, the Kong family really lived in this mansion, counting the slaves and maids, there were slightly more soldiers than Yang Qing, and the two thousand wolf-like elites of the Guanning Army and the former Baoyi and Jinyi guards suddenly poured in, and it was easy to control the Confucian Mansion on the premise of being familiar with the situation in the mansion. Occupy the gates in advance, arrange patrols outside to prevent people from climbing over the wall to get out, and then all that remains is to catch turtles in the urn, the women lock directly into the room, and the men tie them up with ropes, and dare to resist and hack them to death......

In fact, I didn't kill a few.

The slaves of the Kong family didn't follow along to rob while the fire was already too sudden, so they couldn't react, how could they really work hard to protect Kong Yinzhi's family.

Is the Holy Father of Yan very beloved?

"Yang Qing, what do you want to do?"

Kong Yinzhi roared angrily.

"Yang Qing? Who is Yang Qing? I'm obviously Yang Feng! ”

Yang Qing said with a smile.

Kong Yinzhi wanted to spray him to death with a mouthful of spit at this time, you disguised yourself and disguised yourself with a disciplined point, and you changed people with a black eye patch? Not only have you insulted my personality, but you have insulted my intelligence! But he didn't dare after all, because at this time his children and grandchildren were being brought in one by one. Poor Kong family who was raided in the middle of the night, basically none of them could escape, these villains had already figured out their identities and places of residence in the three days they had been guests, and the rest was just to kick the door and enter the nest.

At the same time, pieces of torture instruments were also brought in.

These torture instruments were all used by the Confucian government to teach lessons to those disobedient house slaves, tenants who could not pay their rents, and so on, and they were used to serve them at this moment.

"Yang, Yang Feng, what do you want?"

Kong Yinzhi said in a low voice.

Yang Qing said solemnly: "This king is the way of heaven, this time passing by Qufu, after hearing about the Kong family, Kong Yinzhi ran rampant in the name of Yan Shenggong, and invaded the fishing village with the name of fake benevolence and righteousness, and killed the virtuous to flatter the thief Kou ......"

Kong Yinzhi looked at him sadly and indignantly.

Obviously, this guy's shamelessness is the only thing he has ever seen in his life.

also killed the virtuous to flatter the thief, wasn't that all forced by you?

Yang Qing ignored him and continued to count his crimes.

These crimes were not made up, they were all collected by his brocade guards nearby.

The Confucian family inherited the Qufu County Order, or the Qufu County Order, which was guaranteed by the Yansheng Gong and then reported to the imperial court for appointment, so the Yansheng Gong was the law here.

Judicially, he has the final say.

The same is true economically.

Although theoretically the sacrificial fields given by the emperor are more than 2,000 hectares, but if you really count those that they have encroached on in various ways, it can be said that the fertile land in Qufu is basically their family, and at the end of the Qing Dynasty, they even expanded Qufu, and they also have the right to collect taxes in the city market, in a sense, the common people of Qufu are all slaves of the Confucian family. Simply more than 2,000 hectares of sacrificial land is tens of thousands of tenants, at this time one hectare is equivalent to 100 acres, and the Kong family is the best, usually sixty or seventy hectares of such fields can control more than 200 tenants.

This has gone beyond the scope of the landlord to the level of the gate valve, and it is not easy for such a family to find crimes?

Just grab a handful.

Of course, this is not only the Confucian family, at this time all the gentry are basically the same, it is said that the scope of the first night right of the landlords of the Republic of China in the Qing Dynasty covers this area, southwest Lu, northern Jiangsu is very common, why do you ask the landlords of the Ming Dynasty to be kinder than their kind in the future? In the same way, why should Yan Shenggong be kinder than other landlords?

It can be said that the piles that Yang Qing constantly listed are all the blood and tears of the people of Qufu.

Of course, Kong Yinzhi is not afraid.

He actually knows very well what Yang Qing wants, if he wants to say that Yang Qing is here to do the right thing for Tianxing, it is a joke? Jinyi Wei for the way of heaven? It is only right for Jinyiwei to make money for Chongzhen, it is obvious that he made a big mistake by welcoming Chongzhen, showing his wealth in front of this hungry wolf, and then these hungry wolves couldn't help it.

"Kong Yinzhi, you are guilty!"

Yang Qing finished reading the indictment and then shouted.

"Contemptible convictions!"

Kong Yinzhi said happily.

This is nothing more than a little game with this villain, what if he doesn't admit to angering him and goes directly to the torture instrument? This villain can do anything, Kong Yinzhi has already learned his crazy style, the most important thing at this time is to follow him first, and then get to the point, and see how much silver can be taken to satisfy his appetite.

"Draw a charge!"

Yang Qing slapped the charge and shouted.

One of his subordinates immediately brought the charge to Kong Yinzhi, and Yan Shenggong happily signed and pressed his fingerprint.

He simply ignored it.

The Kong family can now be said to have never touched this for hundreds of years, for him, the crime is no different from a blank piece of paper, not to mention that at this time, even in ordinary times, he dares to press the handprint, it is the same whether he presses it or not, the Kong family is already above the ordinary law hundreds of years ago, and no one touches him if he doesn't rebel, and after pressing the handprint, he looks at Yang Qing with a casual smile.

"Great King, the contemptible man is willing to donate silver to atone for his sins!"

He said.

"Oh, that's not impossible!"

Yang Qing said with satisfaction.

A subordinate next to him handed over an abacus.

In Kong Yinzhi's speechless gaze, he crackled and pulled the abacus, and took a pen and paper to record it, and then quickly raised his head again.

"For the crimes committed by you and your family, you will be fined one million taels of silver!"

Yang Qing said.

"No, 100,000 at most!"

Kong Yinzhi jumped up and screamed as if he had been burned by a soldering iron.

"Bold, you are not qualified to speak here, one million taels is the judgment of this king, do you dare to disobey is to despise the authority of this king? I dare to bargain, I don't know whether I live or die, come to someone, give me a big punishment, no, it's not that, go directly to the stick, I like the stick the most! ”

Yang Qing said.

The four Jinyi guards, who were originally just picking up the board, quickly stepped forward and put the clamping stick in front of Kong Yinzhi......

"Wrong, it's not about clamping him, it's about clamping his son!"

Yang Qing said.

"Clamp me, why clamp me?"

Kong Xingxie said blankly.

Obviously, he is famous for his calligraphy and painting, but he still doesn't know much about the sinister nature of this world.

"It's you who clamps him, clip him up for me!"

Yang Qing shouted.

Those brocade guards hurriedly moved the clamping stick in front of our Great Qingyan Holy Father, Kong Xingxie dodged in horror, but after all, he did not escape the ravages of these barbarians, and then he struggled and screamed, and had intimate contact with this torture instrument that would never intersect with him in his life. And because of Yang Qing's bad taste, he didn't clamp his legs like normal, but directly clamped his head like when Liu Zongmin tortured and plundered the princes, and Kong Yinzhi trembled and watched his son's head being clamped by the clamping stick, and then the clamping stick began to tighten......

"Ah, I know, I know where the money is!"

His son screamed.

"You rebel!"

Kong Yinzhi beat his chest and shouted.

"Go, take him!"

Yang Qing said to Gao Dejie with satisfaction.

Gao Dejie immediately picked up Kong Xingxie, who had just been clamped, from under the clamping stick, but the poor latter couldn't even stand, so Gao Dejie had to drag him to find the silver.

The four brocade guards looked at Yang Qing.

"Next, Kong Yinyu, clamp it up!"

Yang Qing then pointed to Kong Yinzhi's younger brother and said.

The latter did not hesitate to pounce on the offering table......

"I will also give silver!"

He screamed.

"Uh, why don't you let me clip one, don't be so weak, you are said to be the descendants of Kongqiu, you have to be brave, what are you afraid of with the stick, isn't it just to clip out your brains? Is your brain so important compared to your dignity? There is no grace after the sages at all! ”

Yang Qing said dissatisfied.

Just then, an officer hurried over.

"King Yu, Kong Zhenkan of Qufu Zhixian County is leading the officials and young men to come."

The officer said.

"200,000 taels, 200,000 taels, the old man will take 200,000 taels, and then Paul and the others will leave!"

Kong Yinzhi quickly recovered his spirit and said.

Obviously, he has something to rely on, saying that Yang Qing's actions in the Kong family cannot be really kept secret, and there will always be people who will escape to report the news, after all, the Confucian Mansion and the Confucian Temple add up to several miles in circumference! Although there is no army in the city, there are still many young and middle-aged people, and in order to resist the peasant armies from all walks of life, military training has been carried out, and the county order Kong Zhenkan can be summoned after receiving the news, but the Kong family itself is equivalent to the inner city of Qufu, so they have to attack the city if they want to save the Holy Prince, but no matter what the result of their siege is, Yang Qing has enough time to kill Kong Yinzhi's family.

Kong Yinzhi is also very aware of this, so he would rather exchange 200,000 taels.

However......

Yang Qing smiled at him.

"200,000 is a lot, the old man doesn't have much silver, and although the Kong family is big, the expenses are also large."

Kong Yinzhi pleaded.

"Open the granary of the Kong family, go out and tell the people of Qufu that one stone of grain per family, wait in line outside the Yangsheng Gate to receive it, let the slaves of the Kong family be responsible for transportation, and the silk and satin of the Kong family will be rewarded with a horse, and tell the people that Li Zicheng's people will take over Qufu soon, and they will not give Yan Shenggong the master!"

Yang Qing looked at him with a smile and said.

"Yang Qing, I have no grievances with you, why do you want to harm me so much!"

Kong Yinzhi suddenly let out a mournful howl.
