Chapter 242: Set fire to the temple

Kong Xixue's face was cloudy, and he finally made up his mind: "Set fire!" Burned down the Temple of Confucius! ”

The Confucian family around him was hesitant, no matter how he said that the Confucian Temple was also the temple of his ancestors, as a descendant, it was too bold to burn the temple like this.

Kong Xixue saw the group of people around him hesitating and scolded angrily.

"You bunch of waste, you can't beat them before, don't you set fire to them and wait for the court to arrest us!"

In the end, the fear of being arrested and killed by the imperial court overwhelmed the reverence for the ancestors, and they went to get firewood and grass.

Kong Xixue looked at the main hall of the Confucian Temple coldly, he was also ruthless today, as long as a fire burned the Confucian Temple, He Qiu and the others inside died.

He could have bitten it to death and deny it, and deduced that Jinyiwei had never been to the Confucian Temple today, but a group of thieves broke into the Confucian Temple, and finally feared the crime

Finish.

He Qiu also gasped when he saw the group of Kong family members outside constantly carrying firewood and grass.

"This Kong family is too ruthless, right? Anyway, this is also the temple of Confucius, so it's going to be burned? ”

"My lord, let's kill it now!" A brocade-clothed guard on the side was timid, and said to He Qiujin.

"No, if we withdraw now, I'm afraid it's with the thoughts of the Kong family, and when we leave, they will change the god card, then we can only go to lawsuit, there is no real evidence!"

He Qiu was also a little embarrassed.

Another brocade guard said, "Shall we just watch them come and set fires?" ”

He Qiu pondered for a moment and said.

"Wait a little longer, I don't believe they really dare to burn the Confucian Temple, not to mention that the people brought by your Lord Wang should also be arriving soon, as long as they arrive together, things will be much more convenient."

He Qiu also regretted a little in his heart, he was still too reckless today, if he waited until the hundreds of brocade guards brought by Wang Shen also arrived in Qufu, and they broke into the Confucian Temple again, things would be much easier.

Kong Xixue really dares to burn the Confucian Temple now!

It is a matter of life and death for his Kong family, and he does not dare not be ruthless. Even if He Qiu can't be burned today, as long as the Yuan Dynasty god card inside can be burned, there will be a fight in the future, who will make Jinyiwei's reputation too bad.

"Ignition!"

With Kong Xixue's order, the Kong family used a fire breaker to ignite the firewood and grass piled up outside the main hall.

He Qiu couldn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly rushed out with a few brocade guards who still had spare strength, slashed at the slaves of the Kong family, and used his sword to pick up the burning firewood and grass, away from the main hall.

Kong Xixue saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, but no matter how he shouted, these slaves didn't dare to fight He Qiu and them again.

At this time, the subdued magistrate arrived with his servants.

Kong Xixue saw that the magistrate was coming, and immediately leaned up and said.

"Kong County Order, you came just in time, there is a team of thieves breaking in, the force is strong, I have no way for them for a while, you quickly lead someone to kill them."

Without saying a word, the Confucian county commander of Qufu asked his servants to rush into the main hall.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand this, since the Yuan Dynasty, the county orders of Qufu have been appointed by the Confucian family themselves, and there has been no change even in the Ming Dynasty.

Sometimes the county governor of Qufu is concurrently served by Yan Shenggong himself, and sometimes it is the Kong family designated by Yan Shenggong.

It can be said that this small Qufu is a country within a country, and the large and small officials and officials in the county government are all members of the Confucian family.

Even Shandong's political envoys and envoys have nothing to do with them, as long as the emperor does not personally order, other officials can't control the Qufu County order at all, at most, the imperial historians can hear about the affairs and participate in them.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the removal of this privilege of the Kong family this time, after all, the time was still short, and he did not have time to elect a new person to take office, so it is still the Qufu Governor of Qufu served by the Kong family.

This can also explain why the Kong family is so arrogant, in Qufu the Kong family can be said to cover the sky with one hand, they have always been arrogant.

Although the group of servants under Kong County Ling is a little stronger than the servants of the Kong family, they are still not as good as the Jinyi guards under He Qiu.

This group of people is powerful and prosperous in Qufu on weekdays, have they ever seen a real battle, they have a hand to oppress the people, and they are still a group of wastes when they really fight, and they still have water and fire sticks in their hands, not even a knife.

So as soon as he came into contact with He Qiu's Jinyi Guard, he was beaten by his crying father and mother, and everyone was injured.

Kong Xixue's face is even worse, it seems that it is not helpful to count on this group of officials, so it is better to set fire to it directly!

"Set fire!"

Hearing Kong Xixue's order, the servants of the Kong family made a detour one after another and set fire to the side of the main hall.

He Qiu's Jinyi guards were just these twenty people, such a big main hall, they couldn't take care of it at all, so they could only watch them set fire to the side.

He Qiu was also ruthless in his heart, he didn't expect that he would capsize in the gutter this time, and shouted at the outside.

"You people who are disloyal and unfilial, and you still have the face to say that you are the descendants of the Kong family, and you dare to burn the temple of your ancestors!"

Kong Xixue calmly shouted inside.

"You thieves pretending to be officials dare to flee to my ancestors' temple and disturb the purity of the saints, today I will burn down the Confucian Temple and vow to kill you thieves!"

He Qiu jumped straight to his feet, still had too many scruples, and grabbed a few Confucius tablets in the Confucian Temple before, and ordered the Jinyi guards around him.

"Rush out with me!"

He Qiu took the lead in the charge, and none of these servants and servants dared to stop them, so they retreated one after another, watching He Qiu lead people to escape.

Kong Xixue didn't care, he now knew that he couldn't beat He Qiu and them at all, so it was better to let them go like this, anyway, his goal had been achieved.

"Hurry up and put out the fire."

Now go to put out the fire, and then change the tablet in the Confucian Temple back, how can the imperial court track it down in this case?

Anyway, I didn't do anything, just to arrest a group of thieves pretending to be officials, in order to eliminate the evil, I had to set fire to the Confucian Temple, but unfortunately I was still escaped by this group of thieves.

Ah, you say they are indeed brocade guards?

Eh, I'm so sorry, it's all a misunderstanding!

However, you Jinyiwei didn't have an order from the imperial court, why did you suddenly run to our Kong family? You can't even do this with the six ministries of the DPRK and the Central Committee, aren't you overstepping your authority?

You must know that the imperial court has always been forbidden to meddle in the affairs of Qufu before, even if the imperial court notified that the Qufu county order would be changed, but this has not been changed, you suddenly came to such a stubble, how do I know if you are a real official or a fake official?

Oh, and there are local officials in Shandong to cooperate with you?

Ahem, then I'm going to join you, first, Jinyiwei acted beyond his authority, and second, Jinyiwei commanded He Qiu to be afraid of rebellion.

If this is not the case, why should the local officials cooperate with them and privately cooperate with the officials who are dispatched abroad, in order to create unjust, false and wrongful convictions?
