"You're dreaming!"

Kong Yinzhi completely lost his composure, pointed at Zhang Shize and said angrily.

For more than 1,000 years, no matter the change of dynasty, no matter who dominates the Central Plains by Hu and Han, no one has ever dared to say that they want to destroy the Yansheng Mansion, as long as Confucius is still the most holy teacher, as long as the world's scholars still believe in the way of Confucius and Mencius, the Yansheng Mansion will always be the Yansheng Mansion. No matter which court it is, no matter which dynasty it is, it is impossible to risk being the enemy of all the scholars in the world to deal with the Yansheng Mansion and the Kong family, and this is where Kong Yinzhi's confidence lies.

You Zhang Shize is just a British prince, a gentleman, relying on His Majesty's trust to make a little contribution, and then vainly saying that you want to destroy the Yansheng Mansion, it's a dream!

However, after the rage, Kong Yinzhi suddenly felt fear in his heart.

Zhang Shize in front of him is the emperor's confidant, since he dares to say this, it is not the emperor's intention, can it be said that the emperor really can't tolerate the Yansheng Mansion? The Yansheng Mansion didn't do anything, so why did the emperor be so angry and have to deal with it quickly? Isn't the emperor afraid of angering the world's scholars?

Speculating wildly in his mind, Kong Yinzhi had to admit that the Yansheng Mansion had encountered a big hurdle at the moment, if he couldn't get through, even if the Yansheng Mansion was not as annihilated as Zhang Shize said, he might not be able to escape from it.

After all, no matter how respected the Yansheng Mansion is, it only relies on the remnants of the ancestors, and it depends on the respect of the emperors of the past dynasties for the Yansheng Mansion, and it has not yet reached the point where it can compete with the imperial power. As for the support of the world's readers, Kong Yinzhi, who is a member of the readers, naturally knows that the bones of the readers are not hard at all, and the support of the readers is the most unreliable.

Zhang Shize in front of him is a military meritor, not a scholar, and it is impossible to have any respect for the Kong family, which is proved by the killing spree when he was in the Yansheng Mansion. The emperor sent such a person to check on the Kong family, how could he not let Kong Yinzhi have fear in his heart?

"Pingbei Hou, is there anything about the Yansheng Mansion that offends you?" Enduring the fear in his heart, Kong Yinzhi tried to figure out the intentions of the emperor in Jinan through Zhang Shize.

Zhang Shize shook his head and said with a smile: "This is my first time in Qufu, and the first time I have dealt with your old man, how could you have offended me?" ”

Kong Yinzhi's heart sank, it was not Zhang Shize's own opinion, it must have come from the emperor's anger.

"Pingbei Hou, I know that the matter of accepting King De's field is my Yansheng Mansion's errand, and I am willing to accept any punishment. The old man will write a letter asking for sin, and ask Pingbei Hou to transfer it to the emperor, do you think it's good? Kong Yinzhi said.

Zhang Shize shook his head and refused directly: "It's still not necessary, Ben Hou is interrogating and investigating, and the matter of Yan Shenggong's acceptance of King De's field will soon be clear, and he can tell His Majesty after Ben Hou gets enough evidence." ”

Seeing Zhang Shize's unimmersed appearance, Kong Yinzhi knew that he had to find a way, if Zhang Shize was allowed to hand over a series of incriminating evidence to the emperor, not to mention anything else, at least his title of Duke Yansheng could not be kept, and the huge family business of the Duke of Yansheng Mansion could not be saved, and then the emperor would at least find a successor surnamed Kong to succeed Yan Shenggong, and he could block the mouths of the people.

"If Hou Ye is willing to let go of the Holy Prince's Mansion, the old man is willing to give 100,000 taels of silver to Hou Ye!" Kong Yinzhi gritted his teeth and threw Wang Fang directly. 100,000 taels of huge silver is also a huge amount of money for Zhang Shize, the son of the prince of the country, the top rich second generation!

Sure enough, Zhang Shize was stunned, looking at Kong Yinzhi in a daze, his throat squirming violently.

To be honest, this money really stunned Zhang Shize. 100,000 taels is the entire British government, and there is no income of 100,000 taels a year.

In addition, the old man gave Hou Ye another 10,000 acres of fertile land, which is not far from Beijing City, and the land is very fertile. In addition, if the Hou Ye has any needs, the old decay can meet the Hou Ye. For example, last month, a group of young women just arrived in Yanzhou Mansion, and I heard that these women are all thin horses in Yangzhou, all of them are Qing people, and the old man can find a way to send a few to the Hou Ye. ”

Seeing that Zhang Shize was a little moved, Kong Yinzhi continued to increase. With a huge amount of silver, tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, and a beautiful girl, he didn't believe that Zhang Shize was not moved.

"Hehe..."Zhang Shize suddenly smiled, "Yan Shenggong is so generous, to be honest, I am a little moved." But with this little thing, it's not worth my bending. ”

"What the Hou Ye wants, just say it, as long as the Yan Shenggong Mansion has it, the old man will never be stingy!" Kong Yinzhi hurriedly said.

Zhang Shize smiled and said, "Then I'm welcome." The land is 1.5 million acres, and the silver is 5 million taels, as long as you can hand over this amount, I will definitely speak well for you in front of Your Majesty, and the Shenggong Mansion will be fine. ”

Kong Yinzhi's eyes widened suddenly, the field is one and a half million mu, which is almost all the fields belonging to the Yansheng Mansion, five million taels of silver, that is, all the silver in the Yansheng Mansion is not even one million taels! Although the Yansheng Mansion is rich, it is not a business after all, unlike those Jiangnan clans, who rely on trade to become rich and rival the country. The Yansheng Mansion only had fields, and relied on the exploitation of hired serfs to maintain a luxurious life.

"Of course, maybe you don't have so much cash, but it doesn't matter, you can use grain to offset it, one or two silver and one stone of grain, and it is okay to pay enough grain according to this amount." Zhang Shize is very understanding. "Or you can use the shopkeeper's house, pearl agate and other treasures to offset it."

Kong Yinzhi's eyes widened more and more, he knew that he had been tricked, 1.5 million acres of land and five million taels of silver, adding up all the properties of the entire Yansheng Mansion I don't know if there is so much.

"Hehe, does Pingbei Hou really want to force the Yansheng Mansion to a dead end?" Kong Yinzhi sneered, "Then do whatever you want." However, I want to remind the Marquis of Pingbei that the Yansheng Mansion has stood in Qufu for hundreds of years, and the Confucian family has been in Shandong for more than 2,000 years.

Pingbei Hou arrested the old man and Yan Sheng Gongfu should be in charge, presumably the matter has spread, and when it reaches the ears of the old ministers of the court, I don't know if the court adults are on your side with Pingbei Hou, or will they help my Kong family get justice?

The old man wants to see, in the face of the condemnation of the Manchu Dynasty, what will happen to you when you arrive in Pingbeihou? ”

Having said that, Kong Yinzhi no longer begged, since Zhang Shize must deal with the Yansheng Mansion, the Yansheng Mansion is not muddy, everyone has their own ability, just see who can fight whom? Kong Yinzhi can be sure that as long as the current matter reaches the court, the court officials will inevitably support the Yansheng Mansion and will inevitably crusade against Zhang Shize! And this is where Kong Yinzhi's confidence lies.

Facing Kong Yinzhi, who suddenly became arrogant, Zhang Shize just smiled faintly: "Yan Shenggong, do you think you are really a response?" Do you think that the Confucian Mansion is really a monolith, and when all the filth of the Yansheng Mansion is exposed to the world, then you will see who will stand up for you? ”

After that, Zhang Shize no longer paid attention to Kong Yinzhi and left the cell.

......

Not long after Zhang Shize returned to his public house in the county government, Kong Decai was brought in.

"How about Kong Xianzun, have you thought about it?" Zhang Shize asked.

Kong Decai's face turned pale, and he said with difficulty: "Yan Shenggong and his old man have great kindness to me, without his promotion, no matter how talented I, a son of the Confucian family, can not become the commander of Qufu County." ”

Zhang Shize said with disdain: "If you are really talented, you can just pass the imperial examination and take the Jinshi examination, some are futures, the Qufu county order is just a puppet of Yansheng Gong, do you really regard this county order as a gift to you?" ”

Kong Decai smiled bitterly: "It's not easy to raise people in the examination......

Zhang Shize said impatiently: "Needless to say, you only say whether you are willing to cooperate or not, if you are willing to cooperate, the next Yan Shenggong will be you." If you don't want to cooperate, you can bury Kong Yinzhi! For the sake of you being the commander of Qufu County, I will talk to you personally. There are three halls and six halls in the Yansheng Mansion, do you think that without your cooperation, Benhou will not get what you want? ”

Kong Decai made a difficult choice, and finally closed his eyes with a long sigh: "Okay, I am willing to cooperate with ......"

Soon, a roll of blank paper was placed in front of him: "Write down all the bad things that you know Yan Shenggong has done, the more detailed the better." Only when you move to Yan Sheng Gong can you have the opportunity to be the next Yan Sheng Gong, Kong Xian Zun, you are a smart person and know what to do. ”

......

"Master Hou, I am willing to report and expose Kong Yinzhi, the Holy Father of Yan!" Kong Jinyuan was brought in, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhang Shize.

"Oh? I heard that Kong Yinzhi is your cousin, and your bloodline is still close, what's the matter, is this going to kill your relatives in righteousness? Zhang Shize sneered.

Kong Jinyuan said with a righteous face: "Master Hou is right, I just want to kill my relatives with righteousness." In the past, I was trapped by family affection, and I was even more afraid of its power, I sat back and watched Kong Yinzhi do too many bad things, and I didn't dare to say a word, I was really ashamed of my ancestor Kong Sheng. Kong said that he became benevolent, Kong Yinzhi has done too many evil things and has long been away from the word benevolence, I didn't dare to say a word in the past, and I also deviated from the word benevolence.

Now, with the Hou Ye in charge, if I don't dare to speak out, I won't be able to see the ancestor and the holy master after I die. ”

Zhang Shize said very appreciatively: "Very good, it is also benevolent to know that you are lost, Master Kong, you can write down all the evil things that you know Kong Yinzhi has done." By the way, if the other stewards of the Yan Sheng Gong Mansion have done any evil things, they will also write them down, and they will just ask the guilty together with the Yan Sheng Gong. ”

Kong Jinyuan was stunned for a moment: "Do you want to write about other things in charge?" ”

Zhang Shize said meaningfully: "Of course you have to write, Master Kong, you are a smart person, and you naturally know that only when others fall, it is most beneficial to you." ”

Kong Jinyuan suddenly realized: "The villain understands, understands, Hou Ye rest assured, I will write everything I know." ”

Defeat all those who are qualified to compete for the position of Yan Shenggong, and only then can you have absolute certainty of succeeding Yan Shenggong, this is Kong Jinyuan's understanding, and if you want to succeed Yan Shenggong, you must be appreciated by the emperor, and these things written now are the guarantee of the emperor's appreciation.

"Master Kong is a smart person, I won't say anything else, Your Majesty, I will speak well for you." Zhang Shize patted Kong Jinyuan's shoulder and said.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you." Kong Jinyuan suddenly felt that his bones were a little lighter.

......

On this day, Zhang Shize was very busy, and the stewards of the three halls and six halls of the Yansheng Mansion were brought into the room one after another, and these people all took the initiative to ask for a meeting, and the purpose was the same as Kong Jinyuan, they all came to expose the Yan Shenggong Kong Yinzhi.

The position of Yan Sheng Gong is just that, it has always been occupied by the Confucian family, and Kong Yinzhi has his own sons and grandsons, so under normal circumstances, the position of Yan Sheng Gong is definitely not the turn of others.

But now the emperor is obviously very dissatisfied with the Yansheng Mansion, and the intention to take down the Yan Shenggong is already very obvious, at this time, smart people naturally know how to choose.

took the initiative to expose Kong Yinzhi and make a good impression in front of the emperor, and when Kong Yinzhi fell, maybe the position of the Holy Father of Yan could be passed on to his own branch.

The reason why these stewards can be stewards is that they are very close to each other in terms of bloodline and Yansheng Gong's lineage, if the lineage falls, they naturally have the qualifications to compete for the position of Yansheng Gong, and with this opportunity, naturally no one will let go.

This is what Zhang Shize said to Kong Yinzhi, Confucius is not monolithic.

Zhang Shize was kind to these stewards who were willing to take the initiative to expose Kong Yinzhi, promising to speak well for them in front of the emperor, but also hinting that they would expose and report other stewards. Everyone reports and exposes each other, and the dark inside story of the Yansheng Mansion will be revealed little by little.

And the result was just as Zhang Shize expected, in order to get the position of Yan Shenggong, these stewards desperately reported and exposed Yan Shenggong and all other opponents.

And the results of the report are shocking!

Occupying the fields, taking away people's wives and daughters, and disregarding people's lives, Kong Yinzhi really committed many crimes, and there were more than 20 lives that he personally ordered to be killed.

As for the other stewards, they have all done bad things one by one, and few of them are innocent. Bullying men and women, beating people to death, everyone has committed it, and there is no good person.

Oh, it's not that there are no good people, Qufu County Ling Kong Decai is also one. Although according to other people's revelations, Kong Decai is also greedy for silver, but he is still modest. And his official reputation is good, he loves the ordinary people, and he usually judges the case fairly, and he has asked the ordinary people for their lives many times in the disaster year, and he has persuaded the Holy Father Kong Yinzhi to open a warehouse and release grain to help the victims. In this era, he is already considered a good official.

There is a lot of privacy in the Yansheng Mansion, Zhang Shize watched it with relish, and when he saw that Kong Yinzhi and his daughter-in-law were having an affair, he couldn't help but laugh. Kong Yinzhi, a good-looking guy, would do something to pick up ashes, which is really impressive.

The descendant of the dignified saint, the first gentry of the Ming Dynasty, the Holy Duke of Yan actually picked up the ashes, if it is spread outside, I don't know how many people will be amazed?

However, this incident was only confessed by Kong Jinyuan alone, but no one mentioned this matter in other stewards, whether Kong Jinyuan poured dirty water on Kong Yinzhi in order to seek the position of Yan Shenggong or whether it was something else, Zhang Shize could not judge.
