"Run! Hurry up, hurry up!"

Pedal Pedal –

A rush of footsteps sounded on the street in front of the inn, and the Cossack infantry of the Third Town, armed with rifles, quickly took control of the entire street, and they watched the inn vigilantly, and did not rush to attack the fortification, but first reloaded the ammunition outside, and then rushed into the inn, and rushed to the target on the second floor amid the screams of the men.

However, when they broke down the door, they found that the building was already empty, and the empty bed seemed to laugh at their slowness.

In the distance, a pair of eyes had been watching this scene in the dark, and after seeing the soldiers return in vain, he turned and re-entered the darkness.

It didn't take long for the man to come to Li Tengjiao's new hideout, and as soon as he entered the door, he said to Li Tengjiao: "It's not good, the officers and soldiers have searched our previous collapse, and it seems that we have been betrayed."

"Impossible." Wang Shouli immediately retorted: "In addition to Yingfu and Wang Delu, there are only the people of the Confucian Mansion who know that we are in the collapsed place, the first two will definitely not betray us, and it is impossible for the Confucian Mansion, they and we are now grasshoppers in the same boat, if they betray us, they will also die."

"But that's exactly what happened." The dead man who came back said in a deep voice, "No matter who betrays us, Jinan City can't stay anymore, we should prepare early."

"He has a point." Li Tengjiao nodded, looked at the dead man, and said, "Wait until tomorrow during the day to see if you can go out on the street and inquire about the situation, and the rest of you will stay here during this time."

"Why?" The dead should be down.

……

The next day, the dead man was ordered to go out into the street to inquire about information, but the street was calm as if nothing had happened, but he had only walked around and saw some officials posting documents along the street, which contained portraits of several people, apparently wanted assassins.

The dead man looked at it from a distance, his pupils contracted suddenly, and the portraits on it clearly depicted several of them, although they were not yet 100% similar, but they were also seventy or eighty, and they could be recognized as long as they were carefully distinguished.

As soon as he saw that he was also on the wanted list, the dead man hurriedly returned to his hiding place and reported the matter to Li Tengjiao, who was also shocked when he heard it, it seemed that they had indeed been betrayed, and the appearance of each of them was drawn, and it must be someone who was very familiar with them.

For a moment, several people in the hiding place were enveloped in a melancholy atmosphere.

While the city of Jinan was hunting for the Assassins, a few days later, a regiment of Cossack infantry from the Third Town to Qufu entered Qufu County, and they did not stop and went directly to Confucius.

The Confucian Mansion was not prepared at all, and perhaps they did not expect the government to dare to attack them so openly, so before they could react, the entire complex was surrounded by Cossack infantry.

The Confucian Mansion also fell into the chaos of chickens flying and dogs jumping.

"Reload your ammunition and get ready to attack!"

The leading staff general Wu Fengjia pulled out his saber and ordered to his subordinates who surrounded the Confucian Mansion, and the foot soldiers immediately took out the paper bullet from the ammunition pack on their waists, bit the top with their mouths, and then poured the gunpowder and projectiles inside into the barrel, followed by a rustling sound of barrel rubbing, and the foot soldiers quickly completed the loading.

Just as the infantry were loading, the chaos in the Confucian Mansion finally calmed down, and then, the closed door was opened from the inside, and Kong Xingsui, who was left at home by Kong Xingxie to take over the affairs, walked out with courage, and when he saw the bright bayonet in the hands of the foot soldiers, his eyes shrank significantly.

Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the fear in his heart, and shouted at Wu Fengjia who was standing in front of him, "This is the Yansheng Mansion, the residence of the descendants of the saints, how can you disturb this place with swords!"

Wu Fengjia listened to his obviously bottomless words, grinned, and said loudly: "This Guan came to search the Confucian Mansion on the orders of the imperial court, if anyone dares to resist, it will be killed!"

As soon as he heard that the other party was going to search the Confucian Mansion, Kong Xingsui's face suddenly changed, and he remembered that the criminal evidence left by the Confucian Mansion over the years of corruption and perversion of the law was all placed in the mansion, and if they searched it out, the Confucian Mansion would fall into a catastrophe from which it would never be recovered

Circumstances.

Therefore, he hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hands to make a gesture of stopping, and said, "No search, this Yan Shenggong Mansion is a place where you can wait for the villagers to set foot!"

"Countryman?" Wu Fengjia showed a mocking smile on his face, he waved his big hand, and ordered: "Enter the mansion to search, and those who block it will be killed!"

"Whoa!"

The foot soldiers responded in unison, and then rushed to the gate of the Confucian Mansion as a company, and Kong Xingsui wanted to block it, but was impatiently hit on the head by a soldier with the butt of his gun, and immediately his head broke and he fainted.

After the foot soldiers entered the mansion, the Confucian Mansion jumped up again, and from time to time there were screams and angry scolding voices of men and women.

"Oh God! O Emperor! Look at them, it's insulting, insulting!"

The elderly Nekong people looked at the brutal and rough movements of the foot soldiers, and their hearts were sad, and they knelt directly on the ground and shouted, his shouts resonated with the other tribesmen, and soon someone followed and knelt on the ground and howled loudly.

But where would the Cossack infantry heed their wails, and some footmen, who were tired of hearing it, kicked the noisy Kong clan man to the ground with a single kick, and cursed and swore in his mouth: "The rotten Confucianism is really noisy, you should stuff your mouth with the shoes and socks of the Sprinkler family."

The noise of the Confucian Mansion also attracted the attention of the people living in the surrounding area - of course, the tenants who could live in this area were basically the tenants of the Confucian Mansion, and they did not have the idea of helping at all, but gathered around in twos and threes, pointing at the scene with a lively mentality.

The military action against Confucius could not escape the eyes and ears of the local government, but the Qufu County Order was a new southern official after the Ming army recovered Shandong, not a person from Confucius, who chose to suppress and ignore when his subordinates ran over to report, pretending that he didn't know anything.

The search, which was considered a catastrophe by the Kong clan, lasted for three days and three nights before finally ending, perhaps because the Kong clan did not think that anyone could search the Confucian Mansion, and the relevant criminal evidence was not deliberately hidden, so the criminal evidence accumulated over the years fell into the hands of the Ming army, including forcibly seizing fertile land, bribing officials, concealing the population, and so on.

Not only that, under the severe torture of the Confucian subordinates, they also confessed some old stories, such as robbing people's daughters, killing people and throwing corpses, and other heinous crimes, and these confessions and the criminal evidence found were properly kept and sent to Jinan.

At the same time, the upper and lower levels of the Confucian Mansion were also controlled by the Cossack infantry, and the Qufu County Commander also stood up to cooperate with the Ming army at this time, and publicly rewarded the people of the county for the evidence of the Confucian Mansion.

Under the joint efforts of the military and the government, anyone with a discerning eye among the people of Qufu can see that the Confucian Mansion has lost power, and this big family that has been entrenched in Qufu for thousands of years may soon be overturned.

Therefore, perhaps they are not worried that they will be settled by the Confucian Mansion, or maybe there will be brave men under the heavy reward, and the people of Qufu enthusiastically went to the county government to report.

As a result, old cases have been resurfaced......
