Although Lu Zhen has led people into the Confucian Mansion for a long time, there are more and more people in the city gathered in front of his gate, and everyone is curiously waiting for what the final result of this matter will be.

Listening to these constant discussions, those big families couldn't help but start to hesitate, especially those who took the lead, and even secretly leaned in front of the county magistrate who also locked his eyebrows, and lowered his voice and said tentatively: "Master, look at this matter......"

"You have to believe in the imperial court, believe in the governor, since he has come forward, he will definitely uphold justice for you." Qiu Changyuan's answer was quite official, but in his eyes, there was inevitably some uncertainty.

After all, the reputation of the Confucian family in today's world is too great, and almost any official from the imperial examination has to salute them for three points, even if the governor has always shown that he wants to fight the Kong family to the end, it is difficult to guarantee that he will suddenly regret it because he can't bear the pressure. Especially the longer the time drags on, the heavier this worry becomes, which makes Qiu County Ling regret agreeing to Lu Zhen to take this risk.

Because once Lu Jinzhen reaches a reconciliation with the Kong family, he is likely to be sacrificed as an outcast, although he has not experienced such a thing, he has heard of it a lot.

And Qiu Changyuan's uneasy reaction made the big families even more uneasy. If it weren't for the fact that it was in full view of everyone now, I was afraid that someone would have to escape.

After suffering like this for half a day, when the sky was about to get dark, the closed door of the Confucian Mansion suddenly opened, and Lu Jin, who had a calm face, walked out slowly accompanied by Kong Run, the chief butler of the Confucian family, and then, several slaves of the Confucian family quickly stepped forward and moved away from the high threshold of their house, and several carriages drove out.

Seeing this scene, everyone outside was stunned, and they didn't understand which one was singing. However, they couldn't see what was going on inside the carriages, because not only were the curtains lowered, but they were also surrounded by brocade guards, so they didn't let the idlers get close at all.

Could this be the blood capital of the Kong family to bribe and curry favor with the governor? Is it a beautiful woman in the car, or is it a valuable gold and silver property? This was the first reaction of everyone, and more suspicious eyes fell on the young high-ranking official who walked up to them.

Those big families looked at Lu Zhen with apprehensive eyes, and then looked at Qiu Changyuan with begging eyes, hoping that the county magistrate could say something for himself. After hesitating for a while, Qiu County Ling finally stepped forward and whispered, "Lord Governor, this matter is ......."

Lu Jin raised his hand to stop the other party's next words, and instead swept his gaze to those big families. Although his gaze was not very sharp, he still saw that their hearts were furious, and a few of them even took two steps back, looking even more nervous.

"The official has led people to conduct a detailed search around the Confucian Mansion, and the results are clear." Lu Zhen looked at the people around him and said loudly: "This fire is indeed caused by a natural disaster, not the deliberate arson of the Kong family as you said. ”

Hearing that he had set the tone for this fire, the faces of the big families changed again, and some people even shouted loudly: "My lord is wronged, if this is the case, then our food ......"

"The official hasn't finished speaking, what are you anxious about?" Lu Zhen snorted, interrupting everyone's shouting, and then softened his tone and continued: "However, it is also true that you have suffered great losses because of this, so after repeated persuasion by this official, Yan Shenggong has promised to come down, and he will pay for a considerable amount of grain as soon as possible and wait with you, and he will never let you suffer in this matter." ”

After hearing this guarantee, everyone was still a little hard to believe it at first, but after thinking about it again, this was said by the governor standing in front of the gate of the Confucian Mansion in front of so many people, how could it be fake? So, a burst of cheers rang out, and then all the big families and their house slaves fell to the ground one after another: "Your Excellency, please accept me and worship." ”

Lu Zhen didn't mean to dodge and be humble, so he just stood in place and accepted the great gifts of these hundred or so people, and only after they got up did he say: "This time, this official has come out for you." I hope that you will learn a lesson in the future, and understand the kindness of the court to you, and do not make the same mistake again. Otherwise, the loss will not be just such a little food. ”

Although he didn't make things clear when he said this, the big families quickly understood the meaning of his words, and immediately bowed down again and said yes. At least at this time, they already have a completely different understanding and awe of the government in their hearts, and they also have a new choice between the Confucian family and the government.

Lu Zhen only knocked them for a few words, and then waved his hand: "Then don't gather here, disperse quickly." ”

When the others dispersed, Lu Jincai smiled and glanced at Qiu Changyuan, and then returned to the county office in a majestic manner surrounded by a group of people.

It wasn't until these parties, as well as the people watching the excitement, dispersed that Kong Run breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked back, and reported to the old man who was waiting for the news.

To be honest, since he knew what was going on, he had never encountered the Kong family having such an embarrassing day. The continuous changes made him, who was also a well-informed manager of the Kong family, panic for a while, but he couldn't do anything. It was only then that he understood how vast and terrifying the world outside the Confucian family was.

When Kong Run turned back to the courtyard, he saw the eldest prince Kong Chengqing kneeling in the courtyard with his head down, while the other princes and others did not dare to speak outside, only the old man sat in the hall with his eyes closed, revealing a powerful aura of mountain rain coming.

"Old man......" At this time, only this old housekeeper, who has been following Kong Yanjin for many years, dares to take the initiative to enter the hall.

Kong Yanjin opened his eyes when he heard the voice: "Everyone is gone?" ”

"Yes, they're all gone." Kong Run said, and briefly repeated Lu Jin's words in front of his house, and while talking, he carefully observed the old man's reaction, for fear that he would have a seizure.

Kong Yanjin didn't get angry because of this, but just sighed softly: "Although it did lose the face of my Kong family this time, it finally suppressed the matter." That's it, no one can mention today's events, otherwise don't blame the old man for moving the family law and severely punish him! ”

These words were said very loudly, and those people outside the hall also heard them, and they all agreed in unison. In fact, even if the head of the family didn't tell them so, they wouldn't mention such things that would make the Kong family embarrassed.

"Come on, take this beast to the old man to the ancestral hall, and the old man will severely punish him in front of the ancestors and ancestors today!" After speaking, Kong Yanjin had already stood up from his seat. Just because he was a little excited, he got up faster, and the old man felt a burst of flowers in front of him, and he almost fell. Fortunately, Kong Run's movements were fast enough, so he hurriedly stepped forward and supported his hands, so that nothing went wrong.

"Please also ask the master to dissipate his anger, don't hurt your body angrily." Kong Run stroked his chest with his hand, and persuaded him.

"Don't worry, if you don't get rid of this evil son for my Kong family, the old man won't be able to die!" After picking up the crutches at hand and beating him hard, Kong Yanjin spoke again: "What are you still doing in a daze, quickly tie up this son of a son and send it to the ancestral hall!" ”

It wasn't until he said this that everyone came back to their senses from the shock, and several house slaves said offended to Kong Chengqing, who was still kneeling there in a daze, so they took out the rope, tied it up, and escorted it to the ancestral hall of the Confucian family in front.

And the rest of the Confucian family disciples were at a loss and puzzled at this time, completely unaware of what had happened, why the head of the family would make such a big anger, not only scolded his son for being a beast, but even used family law. What happened in Kong Chengqing's courtyard before was seen by only a few people, and no one else could get close at all.

However, everyone has already understood at this time, this time Kong Chengqing is really in a big problem, not only will he have to suffer, but even his identity as the heir may not be kept.

In the crowd, only one person had a glimmer of excitement and a clear glint in his eyes. Of course, this person is Kong Chengguang, and when he saw that Kong Chengqing was finally about to be abandoned by his father, he felt a burst of joy in his heart. But then, he had a trace of doubt, why didn't Lu Zhen have any intersection with himself in this matter today? Didn't he promise himself before that he would help him replace Kong Chengqing and become the new heir of Yan Shenggong?

Didn't the other party cross the river and tear down the bridge after the matter was completed, and went back on his word? A very bad thought came to his mind, and he was uneasy.

And at the moment when he was suffering from gains and losses, Kong Yanjin had already walked out with the support of Kong Run, and after his eyes swept from the faces of many puzzled children, he finally fell on Kong Chengguang's body: "Yongqi, all along, the old man has indeed despised you, and I am even more sorry for your mother who died early." I don't know that you have such a heart and ability, which is really impressive. ”

Hearing his father suddenly say this to him, Kong Chengguang, who was pondering, suddenly struck, and his face changed: "Father, the child ......."

"But even so, you shouldn't do such things as a child of the Kong family. Although Yongzuo does deserve it, what you have done is even more heinous than that of my Confucian family. Speaking of this, Kong Yanjin's eyes suddenly shot out two fine lights: "Come on, tie up this Kong family's rebel son to the old man!" ”

This time, the reaction of those subordinates was much faster than just now, and they immediately pounced, and in three or two strokes, they tied up Kong Chengguang, who was still in a state of shock, and then escorted him to follow Kong Chengqing's footsteps in the direction of the ancestral hall.
