Qufu.

In the ancestral hall of the Confucian family, that is, in the Most Holy Temple in Queli, Kong Hongning knelt in front of the statue of the Holy Master Confucius, and was already hungry for a day and a night.

There is a stir on the boundary of Shandong, how can I hide the Confucian family, the palace file is ordered to go out of Beijing, the Jinan bloody case, and the matter of Jining officialdom has completely spread to the Kong family!

There is such a big thing on the boundary of Shandong, it is impossible for Kong Wenshao, as the Holy Duke of Yan and the head of the Kong family, not to ask clearly, even if he doesn't ask, he suddenly jumped like thunder when he asked!

He knew about the clan uncle Kong Hongning's summoning of businessmen to build a railway, but he didn't pay much attention to it, after all, for the Kong family, culture and education always came first.

However, this earth-shattering event actually involved the Kong family, and it can even be said that the Kong family is the initiator!

Kong Wenshao is not stupid, he knows very well that as the most trusted and relied on eunuch Ren Xing today, it is impossible for Ren Xing to move the people like this for the sake of the gentry in Jinan and a few petty officials in Jining, so it is obvious that Ren Xing is Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is intended for Pei Gong!

The reason why there is such a big movement in Jinan and Jining is to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, and shake the tiger of the Kong family!

The Son of Heaven wants the Kong family to give an explanation, how to explain, Kong Wenshao has no bottom in his heart.

But Kong Wenshao didn't believe that Emperor Jiajing could really do anything to the Kong family, after all, the Kong family and even the seedlings of the Holy Ancestors, even if the Son of Heaven wanted to move the Kong family, the scholars in the world would not agree.

"Grandpa, Ren Xing has already arrived ten miles outside the city." Butler Jiang Qi said in a low voice.

"Put on a guard of honor and go out of the city for three miles to greet you!" Kong Wenshao's eyes flashed.

Soon, the guard of honor of the prince of the Confucian family left Qufu, which was rare in Qufu City, and the more curious people followed, but they were soon driven away.

Outside the city, a thousand new troops escorted Ren Xing's car and slowly came towards Qufu, Ren Xing did not intend to hide Xingzang, in fact, he also knew that he couldn't hide it if he wanted to.

This time, the Son of Heaven sent him to Qufu, not to uproot the Confucian family, of course, if he really wanted to pull it out, it was not impossible, it was just a break with Confucianism in advance.

As a king, if he is not a tyrant, he can't do what he wants, what Zhu Houwei needs to do is to weigh the gains and losses, not blindly act brutally.

It only takes an edict from the Son of Heaven to deprive Kong Jiayan of the title of Holy Duke, but is it meaningful? There are many princes in this world, and it doesn't actually mean much to kill a Yan Shenggong.

What Zhu Houwei wants is deterrence, and how to deter is all up to Ren Xing's self-dedication!

"Father-in-law Ren came from afar, Kong Mou was disrespectful, rude, and rude." Kong Wenshao stepped forward and laughed loudly in front of Ren Xing's car.

Ren Xing got out of the car, and saw that the guy in front of him, who was not too old, was wearing a Guogong robe, and naturally knew that it was the contemporary Yansheng Gong Kong Wenshao in person.

"It is a blessing for our family to see the Holy Father of Yan today." Ren Xing politely said.

"How dare you, how dare you." Even if he is the hope of Confucianism in the world, in the face of Ren Xing, the number one celebrity in front of today, where does Kong Wenshao dare to hold up.

"Father-in-law Ren came to Qufu, Qufu City is full of brilliance, and Kong, as the magistrate of Qufu, is also honored."

Ren Xing was very satisfied with Kong Wenshao's attitude, you must know that Kong Wenshao is a first-class prince of the Ming Dynasty, and his duke's title is far from being comparable to ordinary dukes.

Although it is indeed hereditary, once the dynasty is destroyed, the fate of this noble can be described as extremely miserable.

Which is like Yan Shenggong, since Song Renzong, the title has gone through the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, and it is really prominent.

However, Kong Wenshao did not mention his title, but only called himself the commander of Qufu County, which can be said to be how low and low the posture is.

"When we arrived in Qufu, the Kong family was a landlord, and our family had to disturb Yan Shenggong to drink two glasses of water and wine."

Kong Wenshao's heart was settled, and he smiled and said: "Father-in-law Ren said that he laughed, all the land in the world is the king's land, and the Kong family does not dare to be called the landlord in Qufu, so Father-in-law Ren invites him."

"Yan Shenggong, please ......"

The two rode together in a carriage towards Qufu City, laughing and laughing in the car, and the two seemed to be close friends who had not seen each other for many years.

After a short time, the carriage arrived in front of the Confucian Mansion, and when he walked into the mansion gate, he saw more than 20 families who were tied up like zongzi, kneeling firmly on both sides.

"Yan Shenggong, this is?" Ren Xing asked knowingly.

Kong Wenshao said: "The Son of Heaven will build a railway such a good thing to the people, the world's businessmen and even all the people have benefited from it, the people are all rejoicing, singing praises to the Son of Heaven, the Confucian family responded to the Son of Heaven's great policy, ordered the clan to contact the local Dajia, and spent millions of taels to build the railway from Jinan to Qufu, which was a good deed, but ......"

Speaking of this, Kong Wenshao sighed and said: "The Kong family has a big business, and the servants rely on themselves as slaves of the public mansion, and they are used to being vicious.

"What's the difference?"

"This time the house slave hurt people to death, how can it be the same!" Kong Wenshao said angrily: "Regard laborers as pigs and dogs, regard human life as child's play, the Kong family's thousand-year-old family is at risk of being corrupted by these dog thieves, Kong Mou heard about this and was really heartbroken, angry and anxious, originally planned to engage in family law, but he learned that Ren's father-in-law arrived in Jinan, and knew that his father-in-law was mostly here for this matter, so he took down these house slaves first, and only waited for his father-in-law to arrive in Qufu, and then let his father-in-law fall."

Abandon the car to protect the handsome? Ren Xing laughed twice, could it be that Kong Wenshao thought that by pushing a few pawns out, he would be able to eliminate this big case that the Son of Heaven attaches great importance to?

"This is Yan Shenggong's family matter, our family is not good at beaking, how Yan Shenggong plans to deal with it, it is convenient."

Kong Wenshao's eyes flashed with a hint of cruelty, and he immediately shouted: "Someone will drag these dog thieves down and beat them to death, and if they are killed, they should be given to those laborers!"

Ren Xing was slightly surprised, these people were obviously all members of the Confucian Mansion, and they were absolutely loyal to the Kong family, and they belonged to the main family and let them die, they didn't frown, but now Kong Wenshao actually directly ordered them to be killed!

This move shows Kong Wenshao's ruthlessness, isn't he worried that he will chill the heart of a house slave?

Of course, I thought about it a long time ago, but with the lives of these miscellaneous fish, I wanted to turn a big thing into a small thing, so Ren Xing could only think that Kong Wenshao was thinking too much......

Who knew that Kong Wenshao then sighed again: "If you really want to talk about it, these thieves can only be regarded as accomplices at most, and the one who should really be responsible for this matter is Kong's clan uncle Hongning, who is building a railway and contacting Shang Jia from beginning to end.

After this incident, the clan uncle repented and thought about it in the family temple, but last night...... ...... last night"

"How?"

"Uncle Clan committed suicide by hanging a beam on the pillar in front of the family temple!"
