Chapter 238: Confucius takes the people
With the help of Jin Yiwei, Qingtian was much smoother, and Chen Mo learned the news and immediately rushed to Qufu.
"According to the inspector Chen Mo of Shandong, he came to visit." Chen Mo handed over the greeting post.
Menzi didn't dare to slack off, and said with a smile.
"Please wait a minute, I'll go in and report."
Chen Mo was soon invited into the reception room of the Kong family, and after waiting for a while, the Kong family finally appeared, but it was not Kong Xixue, but another person, Kong Xiyu.
Kong Xiyu is also Kong Xixue's younger brother, and he is well-mannered, but Chen Mo also knows a lot of his black materials, and he has done a lot of things about the remnants.
Kong Xiyu said politely to Chen Mo.
"In Xia Kong Xiyu, I have seen Chen Zhaotai."
Chen Mo felt tired for a while, at this time, he still couldn't see Yan Shenggong, could they really call the shots?
Even if Kong Xixue was dismissed from the title of Yan Sheng Gong by Zhu Yuanzhang's decree, then he could also find the new Yan Sheng Gong to come forward!
Chen Mo endured the anger in his heart, with a smile on his face.
"Hello Mr. Kong, where is the Holy Father?"
Kong Xiyu said unhurriedly.
"The Holy Duke of Yan has just taken the throne, and he is a little busy, so it is inconvenient to see guests now."
"That's ......"
Chen Mo didn't bother to say anything more to Kong Xiyu, he didn't want to go back and forth in circles, and said bluntly.
"Jin Yiwei commanded Lord He to be in Qingtian, Yanzhou Mansion, and there are at least thousands of acres in the suburbs outside the city that are said to be the land of the Confucian family, and Lord He does not dare to slack off.
However, the matter of Qingtian is very important, and he couldn't spare time for a while, so he specially asked me to come to Kong's house for a trip and ask the Kong family to show the deed of going to the field, so it is not good to wronged the Kong family. β
Kong Xiyu looked surprised: "Yanzhou Mansion also has my Kong family's land?" I don't know about this, I'm afraid it was done by another branch of the Kong family. β
Chen Mopi asked with a smile.
"Huh? Whose branch is that? Ask them to come forward and show the deed. β
Kong Xiyu said with an innocent face: "This needs to be checked carefully." β
Chen Mo asked.
"Oh? How long does that take? β
"The branches of the Kong family are flourishing, and there are so many other branches, I can't say when I can find out."
Chen Mo lowered his head, hiding the anger in his eyes, and then said.
"In that case, why don't I let Lord He collect the acres of land to the government first, and wait for the side line of the Kong family to claim it. If it is unclaimed, it is a borderless land, which will be returned to the government and disposed of again; If they come and have the title deed in their hands, it will naturally be distributed to them, but if they can't show the tax stamps, they still need to make up the arrears of land tax. β
Kong Xiyu opened his mouth, but stopped talking.
Chen Mo asked curiously.
"What objection does Mr. Kong have?"
Kong Xiyu smiled awkwardly and said.
"I think this is probably a mistake by those people in Qingqingtian, the land in Yanzhou Mansion is probably not our Kong family."
"Whose family is that?"
Kong Xiyu coughed a few times, unable to speak, seeing his virtue, Chen Mo was extremely disdainful in his heart.
Lazily said: "I see, it seems that I still need to let Lord He check it carefully!" I'll take my leave and discuss it with Master He. β
Kong Xiyu said enthusiastically.
"Don't be in a hurry to leave, I heard that you are also a master of science, why don't you stay and talk to us for a few days?"
Chen Mo is a master of science, and now the recognized masters of science are Song Lian and a few people, Kong Xiyu slapped the horse's leg with his fart.
Chen Mo said coldly.
"That's not necessary, there are still a lot of things in the house, so I'd better go back early."
Chen Mo knew Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude, He Qiu received the position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he would not really be in charge of Qingtian in Shandong, the Kong family was naΓ―ve, and he Chen Mo was not naΓ―ve at all.
After a few more days, He Qiu personally took the brocade guard to the door of the Confucian Mansion, and Kong Xi hurriedly came forward to greet He Qiu.
"I don't know what happened to Master He coming to Confucius Mansion this time, with such a large number of people, isn't it right?"
He Qiu said with a smile.
"It's not a big deal, didn't there be a lot of tenants who came forward to obstruct the last time the fields were cleared? The Jinyi guard under my command verified that it was instigated by someone from the Confucian family, and he didn't come to the Confucian Mansion to get people. β
Kong Xi's face turned white, and let Jinyi Wei enter their door, so what's the deal? In his heart, he secretly scolded the group of tenants for not being angry, so easily confessed the Kong family from behind.
"My lord, do you think there is any misunderstanding here?"
He Qiu stared at Kong Xiyong and said.
"Misunderstanding? Mr. Kong, are you doubting our Jinyiwei's ability to do things? β
"This is all conclusive evidence, don't talk nonsense!"
Kong Xi couldn't stop He Qiu even more when he saw this situation, so he could only follow He Qiu's side, watching him take people, and he couldn't stop him at all.
He Qiu arrested the Kong family involved in front of Kong Xiyong, and then said to Kong Xiyong again.
"The Kong family has a big business, don't spoil a pot of soup because of a few mouse droppings, please be sure to tell Yan Shenggong and pay attention to the door style."
Kong Xi kept agreeing with his face, but he scolded secretly in his heart, you are a brocade guard, what qualifications do you have to talk about the door style with my saint descendant.
When He Qiu came out of Qufu, Kong Xi was busy going to discuss with Kong Xixue and others.
Kong Xixue was already anxious like an ant in a hot pot, and when he saw that Kong Xixue had returned, he asked hurriedly.
"What the hell is going on, why is Jinyiwei so arrogant and rushed directly into the door to get people?"
Kong Xi didn't dare to slack off, and said the previous things with a gloomy face.
Kong Xiyu scolded, "Which branch did this stupid thing!" Commanding tenants to oppose Jinyiwei? Do you want to kill our Kong family? β
Kong Xixue's face was embarrassed, this matter was secretly instructed by him, he really couldn't swallow that breath, he was so sad that he took the title of Yan Shenggong by being tooth decayed for no reason, even if the title was given to his son, he was not very satisfied.
So Kong Xixue stepped forward to change the topic.
"This brocade guard was cleaned by His Majesty like that before, I didn't expect it to have so much energy now, but Nie don't worry, I don't think they dare to do anything with our Kong family.
It's a big deal, let's go to the fold, and the adults who want to come to the court will not embarrass us if they look at Kong Sheng's face, and Jinyiwei will still retreat in the end. β
Kong Xiyu was very dissatisfied and said fiercely.
"Are you just watching these hooligans shit and pee on us?"
Kong Xixue nodded silently, their Kong family has already hated Zhu Yuanzhang, and the previous holy decree is attitude, but now if Jinyiwei really wants to deal with the Kong family, what can the ministers in the court say?
"Faint kings and traitors!"
Kong Xi said with a moment of silence.
"If this is the case, let's ask Your Majesty to give you a marriage, find a princess or a county lord, and marry Yanle, so that we will become relatives with Your Majesty, and we shouldn't be able to deal with us in the future, right?"
Kong Yanyue is the son of Kong Xixue, and has just inherited the title of Duke of Yansheng of Kong Xixue.
I have to say that the method used by Kong Xi seems to be quite useful, Kong Xiyu pondered for a moment and said.
"I think this will work, why don't you invite your nephew to the capital?"
Kong Xixue also agreed, anyway, Kong Yanle couldn't do anything if he stayed in Qufu, so it was better to let him go to the capital to walk around.
