Late at night, in the valley.

More than 500 people gathered in the valley and quietly looked at the short man on the big stone in the middle.

"Are you all here?"

A somewhat hoarse voice sounded, and Li Tian looked at the deputy commander beside him.

Li Tianyue was the commander of the secret guard of the palace.

Although Zhu Gaoyu did not have the heart to compete for the position at the beginning, he still attached great importance to his own safety.

In the year of Lao Zhu's death, eight-year-old Zhu Gaoyu took advantage of the fact that his family did not pay attention to him and slipped out of the house with his belongings.

When he found it, he was Zhu Gaoyu's only subordinate Li Tian.

Zhu Gaoyu's acceptance of Li Tian was also a coincidence.

When he was six years old, he went out for the first time and met Li Tian, who sold himself to bury his father.

Seeing that the other party was a sincere person, coupled with the lack of subordinates, Zhu Gaoyu accepted the other party.

In order to hide this subordinate, Zhu Gaoyu did not bring him back to the mansion, but continued to hide outside.

It wasn't until two years later that he was officially activated.

Zhu Gaoyu went out and didn't take long to return home.

Since then, Li Tian has disappeared into Beiping City.

When Li Tian reappeared, Zhu Gaoyu was already the king of Yue.

Li Tian also did not live up to Zhu Gaoyu's expectations.

In seven or eight years, he trained Zhu Gaoyu a dead soldier army that was absolutely obedient.

This force is only more than 500 people, although the number is small, but do not underestimate the strength they can explode.

After years of brutal training, those who survive are the best of the best.

The deputy commander didn't look at the roster in his hand, and replied directly: "Back to the commander, the personnel have arrived." ”

Li Tian nodded, looked at the members around him and whispered, "Today we will carry out a mission that can change our fate." ”

Raising his hand to Qufu in the distance, Li Tian said: "The task is very simple, go to the Confucian family in Qufu, arrest all the descendants of Yan Shenggong, and kill all others." ”

Hearing such a task, the members did not have any expression on their faces, just quietly waiting for the order.

After years of brutal training, they have developed the instinct to absolutely obey orders.

Not to mention dealing with the Kong family, even if they are asked to assassinate the emperor, they will not hesitate.

The performance of his subordinates made Li Tian very satisfied.

After so many years, I finally have to do something for His Highness.

Since the formation of this secret guard force, Li Tian has been waiting for Zhu Gaoyu's order, wanting to show himself well, so that Zhu Gaoyu can see his efforts for so many years.

However, this wait has been more than ten years.

If it weren't for the fact that supplies would be delivered every year, Li Tian suspected that Zhu Gaoyu had forgotten him.

In fact, Li Tian didn't know that Zhu Gaoyu planned to treat him as the last knife at the beginning, a life-saving or vital knife.

No one wants to spend their entire lives in the dark.

The same goes for Li Tian.

With Zhu Gaoyu becoming the prince, Li Tian wanted to follow Zhu Gaoyu and become a bright figure.

But he asked for many times, and the reply he got was one word.

Wait.

Li Tian didn't know when, a year, two years, ten years or even longer.

But just when he thought he was going to be in darkness for the rest of his life.

Zhu Gaoyu's task has finally arrived.

And as soon as it came up, it was a big task, kidnapping the members of the Kong family, and all the rest were wiped out.

This difficult task made Li Tian extremely excited.

The more difficult and challenging the task, the more rewards you will receive.

As he thought.

Zhu Gaoyu gave him a promise.

Once this task is completed, he can bring people to the surface.

Zhu Gaoyu promised him, and after the matter was completed, he would take people to Qiongzhou to form an intelligence department that only belonged to Zhu Gaoyu, named: Moon Shadow Guard.

And he, Li Tian, is the first commander of the Moon Shadow Position, responsible for the intelligence mission of the naval department that Zhu Gaoyu will establish in the future.

The rich reward made Li Tian extremely excited.

I thought that I would have to be in the dark for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect the opportunity to come so suddenly.

Not only did he get the task, but he also changed from a mouse in the gutter to a duck with official hair.

Thinking of his appearance in front of his wife and children in an official robe, Li Tian felt a little excited in his heart.

In order to hide his identity, in the eyes of outsiders, he is an old talent who has not been in the league for many years.

For this reason, his wife and children were ridiculed, which made him feel guilty.

But with such an identity, for the sake of His Highness's great cause, he could only grit his teeth and hide it.

Even in order not to be suspected by others, he did not dare to take out the reward given to him by His Royal Highness, for fear of attracting the attention of others.

Now he finally doesn't have to care about that.

In the future, he will be a serious official.

Thinking of the good days in the future, Li Tian turned his head to look in the direction of the Kong family, and his eyes showed fierceness.

"Father, do you want to think about it again?"

"Uncle Tang's death, we are also very sad, but he has violated the law of the country after all, if we continue to make trouble like this, I am afraid it will displease Your Majesty."

It was almost late at night, and the courtyard of the Confucian family was still brightly lit.

In a study in the inner courtyard, a young man was struggling to persuade an old man.

A few days ago, Jinling sent a letter in a hurry that one of the few elders of the Confucian family was arrested by His Majesty and imprisoned by His Majesty because he was implicated in Ji Gang's rebellion.

As a result, he died of illness for only one day.

Of course, this is the result of the announcement by the imperial court.

As for how he died, I'm afraid only the people of Jinyiwei know.

After the Kong family got the news, they were extremely shocked.

The old Zhu family, who was born with mud legs, actually attacked their Kong family.

Kong Keyan, the oldest member of the Kong family, angrily dropped everything that could be dropped, and scolded in the house for a long time.

Fortunately, they are all their own people in the inner courtyard, if outsiders hear it and reach Zhu Di's ears, it is estimated that the Kong family will be scolded at the lightest.

After venting, Kong Keyi said that things were not so simple, and after carefully reading the letter from Jinling, he found a clue.

His cousin, before he was arrested, seemed to have a conflict with King Yue, and the two even made a move.

After thinking about it before and after, Kong Keyi came to a conclusion.

Your Majesty is angry with his son.

Thinking of this, Kong Keyan's heart was a little chilling, and at the same time, he was also full of monstrous hatred.

The dignified emperor, because his son had a conflict with others, killed the other party, is there still the Kong family in his eyes? Is there still a Confucian saint?

Understanding the reason, Kong Keyi said that the matter could not be stopped just like that.

If the Kong family chooses to do nothing, then how can they still have the face to educate the people of the world, and they will not be laughed at to death.

Although their Kong family no longer has the face to do so, the last fig leaf still has to be blocked.

With this idea, Kong Kexuan inquired about the movements of the imperial court.

It was decided to launch the impeachment of Zhu Gaoyu at the National Ceremony.

Even if he can't hurt the other party in the slightest, he must let Zhu Di lose face in front of various states.

Kong Keyi's idea was good, but he was sternly rejected by Kong Yanjin, the Holy Prince.

Although this Yan Shenggong is still a young man, he also understands that offending the emperor is not good for their Confucian family.

Kong Keyan, who thought he had lost face, directly took out the identity of the clan elder and reprimanded, saying that this Xiaoyan Holy Prince, a young child who has not grown up with hair, knows anything.

"Why, you have to stop me."

Kong Kexuan, who was writing a secret letter and was about to persuade the Inspectorate to jointly submit a letter, looked coldly at his son, who was standing opposite.

Seeing this look at his father, the young man's body trembled and shook his head again and again.

"The child doesn't mean that, the child means ......"

"Get out!"

However, before he could explain anything, a teacup was thrown over.

The young man couldn't dodge, and he was hit directly in the forehead, and dark red blood flowed down the corners of his eyes.

Covering his wounds and looking at his father's stunned appearance, the young man opened his mouth, finally sighed and turned to leave.

He felt that his father was old and confused.

For the sake of the so-called non-existent face, knowing that it was a foolish act to slap the emperor in the face in the joint book at the Great Ceremony of All Nations, he still stubbornly chose to act.

Thinking of the tyrannical Zhu Di, the consequences of being provoked.

The young man was helpless for a while.

"Huh... What about the gatekeepers? ”

The young man who walked out of the backyard and was about to go back to the room to call someone to bandage him passed by the door and suddenly stopped.

The rules of the Confucian family are strict, and men are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard except for the elderly and children.

Even if he is a child of the Confucian family, he must report when he enters the inner courtyard.

In order to prevent people from trespassing, there are people guarding each intersection.

But now looking at the past, let alone the gatekeeper, there is not even a ghost.

Looking at the empty compound, the young man felt a little furious in his heart, and subconsciously turned around and entered the inner courtyard.

But as soon as he turned around, he froze in place.

At some point, behind him, a masked man in black was holding a crossbow to his forehead.

Behind the men in black, at the entrance of the gate of the inner courtyard, a group of men in black were touching the rooms.

"You..."

The young man was just about to speak, pointing his crossbow at his man in black, when suddenly he flicked his sleeve, he smelled a fragrance, and his eyes fainted in the dark.

"This can be taken away, it works!"

Li Tian walked out of the shadows, took out a small notebook, took a look at the surrounding lights, confirmed that it was the planning person, and gave the order to take it away.

The man in black nodded, withdrew his crossbow, put a sack on it, picked it up, and walked out.

The speed of the Dark Guard's actions was very fast, and it was useless for half an hour from the time he started to the end.

In the front yard of the Kong family, Li Tian, who was holding a notebook one by one, confirmed that the target people were all captured, took out a letter, pulled out the ribs, and nailed it to the door of the inner courtyard of the Kong family.

"Withdraw."

At the sound of an order, the man in black disappeared into the darkness, leaving behind the Kong family, which was still brightly lit but as silent as death.

The next day.

The tenants of the Kong family all looked in the direction of the Kong family suspiciously.

They couldn't figure it out, in the past, at this time, the sound of reading would come from the Kong family.

Those families will also clean the courtyard, or carry water to the inner courtyard, why is it so quiet today, and the gate is still closed, there is not even a figure.

Could it be that everyone is oversleeping?

The idea popped into someone's head.

However, as soon as the idea arose, they themselves rejected it.

The rules of the Kong family are strict, how could there be anything like oversleeping.

They had heard that if the subordinates of the Kong family dared to oversleep, they would be beaten to death by the steward.

Since it's not oversleeping, it's a bit strange.

Although the curiosity was tight, no one dared to go over to check.

The gate of the Confucian family is not something that anyone can touch, and ordinary people who want to pass by have to take a long detour.

For fear that he would be dirty and make the Kong family feel that they had insulted the sage.

This waited until noon, and it was not until the regular visit of Qufu County that the tranquility was broken.

"Strange, why is the door still closed today?"

Lifting the curtain of the carriage, Qufu County Ling frowned, looking at the door closed, and there was no door of the Kong family at the door.

Originally, the Qufu County Order was held by the Kong family, but because he offended Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu ordered that the Kong family was not allowed to hold a substantive position.

In addition to Yan Shenggong, there are only two official positions in the entire Confucian family who have been sent to the Ministry of Rites to hang idle posts.

After all, the Kong family is the most holy master, and there is no Kong family in other departments, but the Ministry of Rites, the yamen, must have the Kong family to support a façade.

It is precisely for this reason that he learned that the two Kong family members died in Jinyiwei Prison, and Kong Kexuan was so angry.

He felt that this was a precursor to Zhu Di's intention to take back the two positions of the Kong family.

In order to keep these two positions, he even planned to risk offending Zhu Di and stand up for the Kong family.

"Wait here, and the officer will knock on the door."

After waiting at the door for a long time, seeing that no one had come out to greet him, the county order couldn't wait any longer, so he explained and walked forward to knock on the door in person.

Other places can be replaced, but the Kong family can't do it.

If this rude behavior angered the Kong family, then he would be the end of his official life.

Although the Kong family has no real position, with its own influence, let alone a county order, it is easy for the prefect to step down.

"Knock knock..."

When he came to the door and tidied up his official robe, the county magistrate just knocked twice, and the closed door "squeaked" and opened a small crack.

The county magistrate was stunned.

The door is hidden, and where is the man?

The county magistrate, who was a little uneasy in his heart, leaned on the crack of the door, glanced inside, and his body instantly stiffened.

I saw that behind the gap, there were several people lying horizontally and vertically.

And these people all had round eyes and unnatural paleness.

"Die... Dead. ”

He is also a county magistrate, and he has seen some scenes that are difficult for ordinary people to see, whether he is asleep or dead, he can still tell the difference.

The county order with a dense cold sweat on his forehead trembling, gritted his teeth, and pushed open the door of the Kong family.

Thump!

When he saw the scene in the courtyard clearly, the county commander weakened his legs and knelt on the ground.

He wasn't frightened, he was desperate.

Most of the corpses lying on the ground in the courtyard were familiar faces.

"I'm done!"

Looking at the scene in the courtyard, the county commander was dizzy.

The Kong family was wiped out, and as the commander of Qufu County, he could not escape the blame.

He can already imagine that when the news of the destruction of the Kong family spreads, he, the county order, will definitely become the first person in the world to vent.

Even he doesn't dare to die now.

Because once he died, he could be characterized as committing suicide in fear of sin.

In case the court can't find the murderer, in order to calm the anger of the people in the world, pull him out of the top tank, and the nine clans will be happy together, which is definitely the only result.

So he can't die, and even if he dies, he can't die now.

"Why are you still stunned, go to find someone, Fucheng, the political secretary, the criminal prosecutor, the Jinyi guard, and the yamen who can be notified have all been notified."

The county commander, who slowly got up from the ground, saw that the people who brought him looked at him curiously, stomped his feet angrily, and roared loudly.

After shouting, his body was weak and paralyzed to the ground, looking at the sky and despairing: "Mother, the sky is about to fall." ”

The county order is right, for the entire Shandong official, the sky is really about to collapse.

The Kong family was wiped out, and the officials who knew it were all clear, regardless of whether the results were investigated clearly or not.

In the whole of Shandong, up to the political department and down to the yamen of the county seats, all the goods brought in must be punished.

When the political envoys from Shandong rushed over, their spirits were in a trance.

was helped off the horse by the officials who rushed over, and the two political envoys didn't care about greetings, and walked into Kong's house tremblingly.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a dense body at a glance.

There are more than 1,000 people in the entire Kong family, the Kong family and the maids in the nursing home.

Now most of them are lying in the wide courtyard, and even the right political envoy, and a few watchdogs, are also lying next to the pile of corpses in a daze.

Good guys, this is really a chicken dog.

How much hatred is this to do such an inhumanizing thing.

Don't those gangsters know what this family represents?

Is this the life of the Kong family?

This is the damn life, and the entire Shandong officials and everyone are killed.

Thinking of myself for so many years, I finally climbed to this position.

As a result, I haven't been happy for two years, so I played like this, and the right political envoy was desperate in his heart.

He didn't know what the results of others were, anyway, the two of them were about the political envoys, and there was absolutely no good result.

Not only is it indispensable to take a trip to Jinyi Guard's prison, but the whole family may suffer.

The face of the right-hand political envoy is like ashes, and the face of the left-hand political envoy is not much better.

If it weren't for the people around him, he probably wouldn't even be able to walk well now.

"All... Whole... Are they all dead? ”

Walking to Shandong Jinyiwei, Qianhu, and Qianhu, who were the first to rush over, Zuo Bu's political envoy swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva before making a sound.

Wei Qianhu, whose face was also difficult to see, shook his head slightly.

The two political envoys had a fire of hope in their eyes.

"Yan Shenggong and several descendants are gone." Stretching out his finger and pointing to the rows of corpses, Jinyi Wei Qianhu said: "Most of them here are subordinate people's homes. ”

The two political envoys breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the person is gone, at least there is still hope for life.

As long as Yan Shenggong and those people live, there is a possibility of salvation.

If they can be rescued, the two of them will be dismissed from their official positions at most, and they can save the life of a dog.

However, before they could breathe, Jinyi Wei Qianhu pointed to the front, and said with a gloomy face: "The elders of the Kong family are all dead, and they are all there. ”

"Gah!"

The political envoy of Zuobu, who didn't come up in one breath, rolled his eyes and almost fainted.

Nima, the dismissal of the official position will be changed to the killing of the head.

The right-hand political envoy hurriedly held the other party, pinched and slapped his face.

He also shouted loudly: "My good brother, you can't fall down, if you fall, I'll be completely finished." ”

"Don't shoot, don't shoot, not dead, not dead..."

The political envoy of Zuobu, who had been slapped a few times, ignored the hotness on his face, and grabbed Jinyi Wei Qianhu.

"Uncle, I called you Lord, what can you say together, come once in a while, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on, you finish speaking!"

ps: Old readers know that I wrote a book against the Kong family, but I was frantically reported, and I knew it after suffering a loss, so I didn't write the content in detail, I hope you can understand.
