The ancestral hall of the Confucian family, located on the west side of the entire Confucian Mansion, is the most important place in the entire Confucian Mansion and is their foundation.

It alone covers an area of several acres of breadth, the halls and halls are connected, and there are ancient trees and forests, saying that this is an ancestral hall, but it is more like a temple.

In fact, this ancestral hall is the Confucian Temple, which is the world's first Confucian temple that is most revered by the people of the Confucian clan in Qufu and the hearts of the world's scholars, and the most hope to come here to worship.

In the past, every fifteenth day of the first lunar year and important festivals, the descendants of the Confucian family would gather here under the leadership of the head of the family, pay homage to Confucius, the Confucian sages of the past dynasties, and offer sacrifices, tributes and incense to the ancestors of the Confucian family.

There are those who have made mistakes, and they will also be grounded here, meditating on their mistakes until they correct their mistakes and become new people. Before Kong Shida, he was confined to one of the Siguo Hall, and one level was several months.

Because the ancestral hall is so important, it is very solemn on weekdays, and the servants who are responsible for sprinkling and sweeping here must be careful not to damage any of the things in it, nor can there be any movement.

But today's Kong ancestral hall is completely not as solemn as before, there were many people running inside and outside before, and more than a dozen cavalry rode straight in, killing these Confucian children who fled here.

Their blood splashed everywhere, and the corpses lay in front of the heavy palace, and the majesty of the Kong family was completely trampled under the feet at this moment.

It was only because there was really nothing of value here, that the cavalry walked around it at will and then left again, so that they did not cause much damage to the ancestral hall.

At this time, there were a few painful snorts coming from outside, and at the same time as the miserable snorts, there was a banging sound, but the two of them were entering the ancestral hall in a strange posture.

Sun Ning had already dismounted from his horse and stepped forward step by step, and one of his hands was tightly clutching a handful of gray hair, like dragging goods, dragging Kong Yiru, who was already disheveled in clothes and hair with loose hair, all the way in from outside the ancestral hall.

During this time, they need to pass through a series of portals, over steps and high thresholds. So the head of the Confucian family, who was forced to mop the ground, is miserable today, the whole person is just up and down, bumping and bumping inward, and his head is hit by the threshold and stone steps many times, and there are blood stains flowing on his face.

He had screamed, begged for mercy, and yelled and cursed before...... But Sun Ning, who was dragging him, was not moved at all, and still dragged it straight to the front of the main hall wholeheartedly, only to make a strong force in his hand, threw it into the wide and quiet hall, and smashed it on the floor paved with white marble, making him snort miserably and vomit out a mouthful of old blood.

Sun Ning then stepped in, his eyes mocking at the wide altar and the tall statue in the middle.

This is a statue of Confucius carefully carved from fine stones, two or three zhang high, and the knife work is extremely exquisite. Not only is his appearance depicted, but his demeanor and demeanor are also lifelike, and even a fold in the clothes looks like real cloth.

Confucius's eyes also showed pity and fraternity, and he looked down slightly, and at this time it happened to fall on himself, the descendant of the family, as if he was feeling pity and helplessness for what he had suffered.

Because he is only a stone statue, he cannot help and save future generations from this catastrophe.

And on the long altar behind Confucius, there are also dozens and hundreds of spiritual card gods.

Sun Ning only swept it casually, and saw that many Confucian masters who were still somewhat impressed had the Divine Lord tablet on it, such as Zuo Qiu Ming, Ma Rong, and Ouyang Xiu......

In addition, there are rows of tablets of people surnamed Kong, and the number is much more than that of these Confucian people who have left great names and outstanding achievements in history.

However, this is also reasonable, as the family temple of Confucius, the main hall is naturally dedicated to its own ancestors.

On the table, which is one step closer, there are some cattle and sheep tributes, candlelight and cigarettes.

It wasn't until Kong Yiru on the ground let out another miserable snort that Sun Ning returned his gaze to the other party, smiling: "You didn't think I would bring you here on purpose, right?" ”

Kong Yiru's face turned pale, and his body couldn't help trembling, but he still asked, "You...... What do you want to do? ”

After a pause, he said, "You are not ghosts at all, why do you want to pretend to be them to kill my Kong family?" ”

"Of course, so that you can make up for the terrible mistakes you have made." Sun Ning raised his eyes to look at the spirit cards above, and smiled coldly, "As a descendant of Confucius, your Confucian family has enjoyed it for thousands of years in Qufu, and the imperial courts of all dynasties have paid you great respect and rewarded you innumerably.

"All parties in the Central Plains worship you, regard you as the first family in the world, give you many benefits, raise you all with fat brains, and even make big mistakes, whether the government or the people, they can turn a blind eye.

"But what have you Kong family done for the world, for the people, and for Qufu? It is constantly embezzling other people's property and land, interfering in local government affairs by virtue of identity, and even colluding with foreign enemies just to make your own profits.

"None of this is wrong, right?"

Kong Yiru trembled even more violently, and his eyes showed a deep sense of fear. He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't have the courage to deny the accusations.

In front of the original court, he may still be able to refer to black as white and talk eloquently. But in front of this man who led the crowd into the Confucian Mansion, killed the children of the Confucian family like slaughtering cattle and sheep, and could still talk and laugh in front of the statue of Confucius that countless people need to bow and worship, he couldn't say a word of lie.

So after a while, he could only say: "Rao...... Spare ...... We chose this way to protect ourselves......"

"I think it's not just about self-preservation, it's more about profit. You feel that the ghost Rong has invaded Ludi and entered the Central Plains is about to become a fact, so you thought of changing the court.

"After all, your Confucian family is famous, and if any force wants to control the world at the lowest cost, you Kong family needs to come forward to gather the hearts of scholars. So since you're useful, why not take this opportunity to sell for a high price? ”

Sun Ning's words with a thick mockery fell into Kong Yiru's ears, making his expression change again, and he couldn't speak.

Because this is the truth, the little thought of their Kong family has long been seen through by Sun Ning.

And this realization also made him even more frightened, and he had vaguely guessed the real intention and purpose of the other party dragging him here.

Some people died, but not completely......
