Zhu Youxiao turned around and glanced at Wu Jin in surprise, and he also had a premonition about this. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Regarding the case of the disappearance of the old man Kong Zhiqi's daughter, it should not be as simple as a disappearance, after all, in the Ming Dynasty, where the Lijia system is relatively strict, especially in a Taiping area like Shandong 0, it is difficult for a person to go missing, let alone a girl.

But now that no one can be found, there can only be one more likely scenario, and that is death.

And it is worth pondering why a case of missing persons, or possibly a murder case, was ignored by the yamen such as Shandong County and the state government?

Zhu Youxiao didn't show any other abnormalities after glancing at Wu Jin, nodded and waved his hand at Wu Jin, and then walked to the pavilion opposite.

Kong Yinzhi and the others didn't dare to get close to inquire about the news, but they could also tell from the serious expression on the face of the head of the East Factory that something should have happened.

Kong Yinzhi glanced back at his Qingke Xie Shu, and asked in a low voice: "Everything is in order now, but I'm still a little worried that that one thing will be discovered by His Majesty, have you dealt with it cleanly, and the guy named Kong Zhiqi has been caught?" ”

Kong Yinzhi's tone was a little cold, which was very different from the flattering appearance in front of Zhu Youxiao just now, and it scared the Qing guest Xie Shu's face turned a little pale: "Don't worry, master, everything is done, Kong Zhiqi was also buried in the deep pool by us, and he will definitely die." ”

Hearing Xie Shu say this, Kong Yinzhi nodded reassuringly, and the gloom on his face swept away, still showing a smile full of spring light.

Here, Zhu Youxiao also whispered to Wu Jin: "Send more manpower, control the scene, and let the old man named Kong Zhiqi identify him, but remember to protect his safety, and from now on, Kong Zhiqi will be closely monitored, except for our own people, don't let anyone know his whereabouts, especially these officials and gentry in Shandong." ”

"Obey Your Majesty's orders!"

Wu Jin answered, and then took a team of Dongchang fans and left.

Zhu Youxiao's side still came over to talk and laugh with Kong Yinzhi and other Shandong gentry.

Kong Yinzhi and a group of officials and squires still served Zhu Youxiao carefully, and Zhu Youxiao was also very polite to them.

Moreover, before that, in order to show that he was willing to maintain a harmonious relationship with the Shandong gentry, Zhu Youxiao issued an order in advance and directly stationed in the Confucian Shenggong Mansion after coming to Shandong 0dong.

Just because Zhu Youxiao, His Majesty the current emperor, wants to be stationed in Kong Yan's Holy Mansion, Kong Yinzhi also did his best to be a landlord, not only spent a huge amount of money to decorate the mansion, but also added many opera troupes and other excellent actors, not to mention the beauties, but Kong Yinzhi did not dare to learn from Wei Guangwei too directly, and actually sent his daughter out.

When Zhu Youxiao came to Kong Yan's Holy Mansion, he could find that even the ordinary maids who came to make tea for themselves were very beautiful, and those who popped up at the door of the Moon Cave from time to time, or played the piano in a flower dock somewhere and howled, were even more amazed that Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but stop and watch.

Zhu Youxiao sighed that the beautiful women can be seen everywhere in this Kong Yan Holy Father, but he found that although the decoration of this Kong Yan Holy Prince's Mansion is new, it looks very frugal, there is no transgression, the doors, windows and beams are all black paint, and the ground is just the most ordinary bluestone slab brick, even the furnishings in the house are only occasionally decorated with a few antiques, but more are books.

"In the end, it is the family of poetry and hairpins, there is a bookish atmosphere up and down this mansion, and even these servants have added some elegance", Zhu Youxiao praised a few words and saw a bright yellow throne in a hall, and its laying was more gorgeous than before, so he knew that it was the emperor's resting place reserved by the Confucian Mansion for himself.

Zhu Youxiao sat down after walking in, but this time, Zhu Youxiao found that there was a tablet on the desk in front of him, which said that the dragon seat of the Emperor of the Great Tomorrow Apocalypse was written, and there were couplets on both sides, which read: "Mountains and rivers shine with the sun and the moon, and the country is eternal with the world." ”

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but stand up, and said in his heart: "This Kong Yinzhi is worthy of being the descendant of Old Master Kong, this Fengying routine is really familiar, now he is the emperor himself, and the person who dares to love this dragon is himself, so if Li Zicheng or the person who loves Xinjue Luo is really the emperor now, then this tablet also has to be changed?" ”

Zhu Youxiao really wanted to ask if Kong Yinzhi had prepared a lot of empty tablets at home, so he was waiting to change the name on the dragon throne as soon as the dynasty changed.

"This is too much, let's remove it, don't take it as an example!"

Zhu Youxiao is not very suitable for being offered like this, although he has been trying his best to deify himself from the Ministry of Rites, but Kong Yinzhi's hypocritical worship, he is not interested in accepting it.

Zhu Youxiao chose to stay in the Confucian Mansion, naturally he also had the intention of tempting the Confucian Mansion, but until now, he has not seen the slightest sign of disobedience, the only thing that can make him feel inappropriate is that this Confucian Mansion is very large, and the passages in many places have even been directly sealed.

Zhu Youxiao asked Kong Yinzhi why some courtyards were blocked, but Kong Yinzhi said that now the Confucian Mansion is not as prosperous as it was back then, and when the family was rich, in order to reduce expenses, he had to let some courtyards become barren, and there was no way to deal with it, so he simply sealed it directly.

Zhu Youxiao didn't ask much, and he didn't immediately draw a conclusion about whether the facts were as Kong Yinzhi said.

Everyone thought that His Majesty should not be able to find anything in the Confucian Mansion now, and the officials of the political envoy and the envoy of the Shan 0 Dongbu couldn't help but celebrate each other and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Moreover, when they heard that His Majesty was still sleeping with a beautiful woman in the Confucian Mansion last night, they thought that His Majesty had fallen into the gentle township, and that there would be no more trouble after playing and drinking well in Shandong Mountain, and they would go south to Jiangnan after staying for a few days at most.

Zhu Youxiao did become a merry emperor in the Confucian Mansion, and now he has no way to see the dark side of the Confucian Mansion in the light, rather than this, it is better to pretend to be stupid in the Confucian Mansion from now on The king is not early in the dynasty, so as to paralyze Kong Yinzhi and the bureaucrats who secretly act as his protective umbrella.

Of course, in addition to behaving excessively to deal with Kong Yinzhi's hospitality, Zhu Youxiao is also ready to communicate with Kong Yinzhi and other local squires that he wants to implement the policy of integrating the official gentry with food in Shandong 0, if Kong Yinzhi agrees to cooperate with him, Zhu Youxiao will naturally not do anything to such a family with a very high status in Confucianism, even if he may have done something hurtful.

After two days of exhaustion in the Confucian Mansion, on the auspicious day of the zodiac on the third day, Zhu Youxiao personally took Li Mingrui, a cabinet scholar, and Wang Chengen, the celebrant of ceremonies, to visit Confucius at the Temple of Literature.

After coming to the Confucian Temple, Zhu Youxiao found that there were several private schools near the Confucian Temple, and there were some poor children who looked ragged in the private schools, and the teachers seemed to be some learned elders, and there were even talented people wearing square scarves.

When Zhu Youxiao asked why so many poor children were studying here, the county magistrate of Qu 0fu first replied that it was also built with the donation of Kong Yanshenggong, in order to educate the local area, so that talented people would not abandon their studies or lose the opportunity to learn the way of the saints because of poverty.

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao naturally affirmed Kong Yinzhi a few words, and even asked Li Mingrui, a cabinet scholar, to kowtow to Confucius three times instead of him, and Zhu Youxiao himself personally incensed Confucius in front of the portrait of Confucius Laozi.

The dignified university scholars knelt down to bow down, and Zhu Youxiao, as the emperor, also personally offered incense, which was not a high courtesy.

All the officials and gentry couldn't help but admire, and they were very moved by Zhu Youxiao's respectful and respectful behavior.

Zhu Youxiao also took advantage of this to immediately put forward his purpose of coming to Shan0dong this time, and after worshiping Confucius, he summoned all the officials and gentry to come, and said: "You must know that I have made Yuan Keli the governor of Shan0dong, and the new official has taken office with three fires, and Yuan Zhongcheng has given me a chapter before this, which says that his first fire after patrolling Shan0dong is to implement the integration of officials and gentry to pay food, I don't know what your opinion is on this?"
