Chapter 4 The Kong Family
In the south of Cuenca City, there is an extremely large manor, and it can be said that almost half of the territory in the south of the city is assigned to this manor.
Cuenca City is not a famous city in the Cangnan Empire, but it is also a large-scale local city, and being able to have such a large manor in such a city is enough to show the power of the owner of the manor!
After all, the Kong family is one of the two giant families in Cuenca City, and at least about thirty percent of the people in the entire city depend on the various industries of the Kong family to survive.
In the Cangnan Empire, the surname Kong is not common, and the surname Kong, which can become a nobleman, is the only one in the entire empire without a semicolon, that is, the Kong family of the Cangnan Empire!
The Cangnan Empire was founded 500 years ago, and the first ruler of the country, Hu Shuo, started with a mercenary group, and finally established the country in a hundred battles, creating a huge empire located in Liangzhou.
At the beginning, there were two great heroes who followed Hu Shuo to fight the world, and after the founding of the Cangnan Empire, they were all given the title of duke, and their descendants can be hereditary. One of them is the ancestor of the Kong family!
For the vast majority of people, Kong Xiu, the ancestor of the Kong family, is a very mysterious person, whose birth history has never been known, but his skills can be said to be earth-shattering.
There is even a rumor among the people: Kong Xiu should be a person living on an unknown continent overseas, and he came to the Tianyuan Continent by chance, thus assisting Hu Shuo in establishing the Cangnan Empire!
The unknown continent overseas has always only existed in the legends of the Tian Yuan Continent, and no one has ever been able to confirm whether it really exists, which has also made the Kong family have been covered with a layer of mystery for hundreds of years.
At the beginning, Kong Xiu appeared alone in the Tianyuan Continent, but after hundreds of years of multiplication, the Kong family has long been flourishing. Now there are hundreds of descendants of the Kong family alone, if you count the side lines and the major forces attached to the Kong family, it is definitely a giant existence in the Cangnan Empire!
The hereditary duke position of the Kong family can only be inherited by the eldest son, but the children of the Confucian family have also had many outstanding talents for hundreds of years, and have been rewarded by the empire one after another, so there are nearly 100 titles in the family!
The Kong family in Cuenca City, in terms of blood relationship, should be a lineage passed down by Kong Xiu's third son, but it is quite estranged from the Kong family, and can only be regarded as a side branch of the Kong family. However, in a local city like Cuenca City, even if it is only a side branch of the Kong family, it is one of the best forces, enough to become a local overlord!
Therefore, it is not surprising that the Kong family can have such a large piece of territory in Cuenca City.
At this time, three days and three nights have passed since the purple lightning fell from the sky, and in a quiet courtyard in the Confucian manor, a sturdy young man was lying on the bed in a side room with his eyes closed, as if he had not woken up from a deep sleep.
This young man is the second young master of the Kong family who was struck by purple lightning!
During this time, the second young man of the Kong family has been unconscious, but all the functions of his body are very normal, and his father Kong Jun tried his best, but he couldn't wake him up, so he could only let him lie in the room to recuperate.
Kong Jun is the head of the Kong family in Cuenca City, and inherited the title of an imperial baron from his ancestors. A mere baron is nothing in the Kong family, but in Cuenca City, which is located in the remote area of the empire, he is the most prominent person!
In the entire city of Cuenca, the only one who can be equal to Kong Jun in terms of identity is Baron Changxi, the head of the Chang family...,
The Chang family is a wealthy family born and raised in Cuenca City, and it is said that the ancestors of the Chang family were rooted in this land before Cuenca City was upgraded to a city. When Kunca City was included in the territory of the Cangnan Empire, the Chang family surrendered to the empire at the first time and helped the empire master the entire territory of Kunca City as quickly as possible, thus obtaining the title of a baron and officially promoted to nobility!
The Chang family used to be the only nobles in Cuenca City, if there was no Kong family to show up.
The baronial title of Kong Jun's side branch of the Kong clan was obtained by Kong Jun's grandfather's generation, and since the baron's title was a low-level title, the fief he obtained could only be located in a remote area like Cuenca City.
Since the Kong family came to Cuenca City, they have not had a good relationship with the Chang family, and the reason is naturally that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. And how can a small Cuenca city accommodate two big families?
Just like a-for-tat confrontation with the Kong family, the fiefdom of the Chang family occupies nearly half of the territory in the northern part of the city. However, the north of the city is not as wealthy as the south of the city, which also makes the Chang family, who have been running the city of Kunca for more than 500 years, less influential than the Kong family, which has only been passed down for four generations.
When the second young man of the Kong family was struck by lightning three days ago, the silver-haired old man who appeared immediately behind Kong Jun was the current head of the Chang family, Baron Changxi!
It is precisely because of the hostility between the two families that Changxi and Kong Jun are so at odds, and there is a conflict just by a few casual words.
The fat man who appeared with Changxi was Luo Zheng, the current city guard of Cuenca City, who represented the official status of the empire, although he did not have a title, but he was also a figure on an equal footing with Kong Jun and Changxi.
As for the middle-aged beauty, her name is Gameline, and she is also a figure with a lot of status in Cuenca City. She is the president of the Cuenca City Chamber of Commerce Alliance, and the Chamber of Commerce that can be mobilized in her hands is really a lot of power, so her words also have some weight. In addition, as a woman, she is not only as beautiful as a flower, but also has clever communication methods.
Kong Jun, Cha Chan Xi, Luo Zheng and Mei Lin represent the four leading figures in Cuenca City, and they all appeared at the temple at the same time three days ago to track down the purple lightning, which can be regarded as an extremely rare gathering. However, although the four of them came quickly, they didn't see the situation when the second young man of the Kong family was struck by lightning, and naturally he couldn't think for a while that the reason why the second young man of the Kong family was unconscious would be related to this purple lightning that fell from the sky!
And at this time, the second young man of the Kong family, who had been in a coma for three days and three nights, suddenly opened his eyes!!
