Ming Zuo

Chapter 253 tit for tat

After the White Lotus Sect was wiped out, peace was restored in Jining.The common people didn't know what happened, and the township soldiers were even more slack.

Zuo Menggeng rushed all the way with the soldiers, and immediately made chickens fly.

Seeing the murderous look of these soldiers, the common people fled back home in fright, not daring to go out at all.

The soldiers defending the city were disarmed by the new army before they could close the city gate.

Leaving a company to guard the city gate, Zuo Menggeng went straight to the government office.

It's the same here, Menzi was terrified, before he could stop him, he was turned over, tied up and thrown aside.

Zuo Menggeng went on a rampage and went straight into the Yamen, just in time to encounter a scene where swords were on the verge of breaking out.

A fat man jumped up and down, saliva flying everywhere.

"Qiuba, how dare you hurt my disciples of the Kong family and humiliate the descendants of saints. If you don't give an explanation on this matter, let's go to His Majesty to file an imperial complaint."

Opposite him, Liu Zongzhou had a serious face, and shouted: "The Confucius family oppressed the good and occupied the land, but did you remember the teachings of the sages?"

The fat man was shaking a few pieces of yellow paper in his hand, looking very proud.

"The land in Dong's Village was originally owned by my Kong family, and the title deed is here. Why do you want to confuse right and wrong when you read Taigong Tianxia Wenzong?"

Everyone on Liu Zongzhou's side frowned and remained silent, apparently unable to think of rebuttals for a moment.

One of the officials of Quail Buzi was overwhelmed and flustered, trying to smooth things over and over again.

"Nian Taigong, Meng Angong, Ganyuegong, Zhongyuangong, the juniors respectfully serve as the magistrate of Jining, and they should enforce the law impartially. The fact that Zuohua beat people and injured them is all there, and he is a descendant of Confucius. If you don't give a Confess, this junior cannot escape the blame."

Just at this moment, Zuo Menggeng broke in.

When the official heard footsteps and saw a young warrior entering the room, he was furious.

"Bastard, how can you allow us to trespass in the hall of the government office? Come and take it down."

The yamen servants next to him rushed over to make a move, but they were all knocked down by the soldiers of the new army, and they were thrown aside to pretend to be dead.

Seeing this group of warriors wielding swords and carrying swords, all the people in the hall couldn't help being frightened.

The official pointed at Zuo Menggeng, but couldn't speak for a while.

Liu Zongzhou was startled and stepped forward to stop him.

"Zhongheng, how can you be reckless? Why don't you let these soldiers go out?"

Zuo Menggeng snorted coldly.

"If the person who caught me doesn't give me an explanation, then it's not a matter of recklessness."

Only then did the official react, jumping up and down.

"Zuo Menggeng, you led troops to trespass the government office without authorization, which is tantamount to rebellion. Just wait, I will join you in impeachment."

Zuo Menggeng looked at him coldly and asked, "Are you Wang Sunfan?"

Seeing him so rude, the official was even more angry.Instead, he said to Liu Zongzhou and the others: "Several seniors should bear witness to this. This Zuo Menggeng marched into the city and threatened the officials. The law of the country is intolerable. Don't blame the students for presenting it to His Majesty."

Liu Zongzhou, Li Banghua and others all looked ugly, and even sighed, feeling that Zuo Menggeng was too impulsive.

This time he fell into a passive position, and if he failed, his great foundation would be ruined.

Zuo Menggeng was fearless, staring at Wang Sunfan, and said sternly: "Wang Sunfan, I suspect that you are colluding with Bailian and plotting wrongdoing, so I want to question you."

A weird cool wind swept through the lobby, Wang Sunfan couldn't help laughing out of astonishment.

"Hahahaha, what a joke in the world, I am an official ordered by the imperial court. Even if I want to be convicted of a crime, I need to issue an order from your Majesty. You are a mere general, you are so arrogant!"

Zuo Menggeng approached step by step, but what he said changed everyone's expressions.

"The general officer Zuo Hua of the headquarters was ordered to hunt down the Bailian demon. He was about to win a big victory, but he was deceived and imprisoned by you, causing the Bailian demon to escape. Such suspicions must be investigated. The last time Hengfan was involved in this crime, His Majesty punished him severely. I don't know your king." Can Zhizhou be cleared of suspicion?"

It was only then that everyone remembered that the young general in front of them was the existence of the mighty Heng Fan.Not only was it okay, but it also made Heng Fan look ashamed.

Originally, according to the system, the son of Heng Fan should have inherited it at this time, but because of this matter, Chongzhen never issued an order, so that the throne was vacant.

Heng Fan is a clan relative, and they are all punished like this. Wang Sunfan is a mere magistrate, if Chongzhen is angry...

Thinking of the consequences, Wang Sunfan couldn't help shivering.

At this moment, the fat man said: "Don't worry about the governor, the world will be bright and bright, and there is no room for loyal ministers to be wronged. I am here, so I can clarify for you."

Zuo Menggeng turned his head to look, only staring at the other party's neck.

The fat man backed away in shock from the beast-like eyes, and it took him a while to realize that his behavior was embarrassing.

After being ashamed, he became crazy, the fat man said ruthlessly: "Zuo Menggeng, your people injured the dog, I will not let the Confucian government take care of this matter."

Seeing that the situation became more and more serious after Zuo Menggeng came, Liu Zongzhou was quite powerless, and introduced: "This is Mr. Kong Yinzhu, the younger brother of Yansheng Gong clan, Mr. Kong Wenxu."

Kong Yinzhi's brother?

Zuo Menggeng didn't have the slightest respect, but he also knew that this matter would be difficult.

The Confucian family is the queen of the sages, the totem of Shilin.In feudal society, offending the Kong family was almost equivalent to cutting oneself off from the world.

At least with his current strength, he can't do anything to the Kong family.

But Zuo Hua must be saved, and the harsh words have already been released before, so it is meaningless to be soft at this time.

Zuo Menggeng thought about it, and quickly found the starting point.

"It is said that after the Confucius family is a sage, they are the heirs of morality. I would like to ask, did the sage teach you to wait for your descendants to invade the land and harm the good people?"

Kong Yinzhu was furious.

"Zuo Menggeng, you don't want to spout blood. Here is the title deed, and my Kong family is just taking back the original land. Even if the lawsuit goes to the imperial court, what are you afraid of?"

Zuo Menggeng didn't bother with him at all, but sneered: "Then I would like to ask His Majesty, why did the Confucius family in Qufu come to Jining?"

Kong Yinzhu's originally arrogant face froze instantly, and then the cold sweat visible to the naked eye clotted his cheeks.

Zuo Menggeng's attack could be described as a killer.

Where is Qufu?
Where is Jining?
How many acres of land the Kong family should have is determined by the imperial court.In any case, it is impossible to cultivate fields so far away.

Whether there is a title deed or not, this matter does not stand up to scrutiny.

The most important thing is that once this matter spreads, the Kong family will definitely become the target of thousands of people.

Liu Zongzhou, Li Banghua and others, who originally thought this matter was difficult, showed their splendor, but they suddenly discovered that Zuo Menggeng's debating skills are so good.

The old man sitting beside Liu Zongzhou was unknown to Zuo Menggeng, but he jumped out at this moment.

"Is benevolence so far away? I want benevolence, but benevolence is the ultimate. The virtue of benevolence and righteousness preached by the sages has been passed on through the ages, but after the sages benefit the disabled, it is really disloyal and unfilial."

This is a harsh word.

The core of Confucius' Confucianism is benevolence.

The old gentleman took the current behavior of the Confucian family as an act against benevolence, and directly pushed the Confucian family to the opposite of Confucius.

Kong Yinzhu's old face was full of colors, and he was about to vomit blood.

But facing this person, he didn't even have the courage to argue.In desperation, he just said: "The state owns the state law, and the contract is a clear proof. Besides, how to punish the beating and wounding according to the law, I also ask Wang Shishi to enforce the law impartially."

Kong Yinzhu is playing a scoundrel, insisting on Zuo Hua's beating.

The old man was not afraid of the power of the Confucian family at all, so he also said: "The governor Wang, who invaded the fields and destroyed the family, how should we be punished?"

Wang Sunfan was dizzy.

Earlier Kong Yinzhu came to ask him to arrest someone, saying that he was just a general manager, but he didn't take it to heart.

In the eyes of civil servants, what if they were mere warriors?
Who would have thought that this mere leader would provoke so many big things, none of whom he could afford?
If you listen to Kong Yinzhu, you will offend Liu Zongzhou, Li Banghua and other court leaders; if you listen to Zuo Menggeng, you will offend the Kong family.

To be an official in Yanzhou Mansion is really more sinister than being attached to Guo Jingshi.

The only way is to drag the word.

Wang Sunfan made up his mind and hurriedly said: "Seniors, now that the Kong family has a land deed here, it seems unreliable to talk about annexing the land. As for the injuries caused by General Zuo's beating of the people in the Kong family, the severity of the injuries still needs to be checked. How about How about this? If seniors can present ironclad evidence of the Confucian family’s annexation of the land, the younger generation will deal with it fairly. If the members of the Confucian family are indeed severely beaten, the younger generation will have to punish them according to the law.”

This was obviously making peace, but Kong Yinzhu's face changed a few times, and he acquiesced.

He also knew that if Zuo Menggeng and others made a big fuss about the Kong family's annexation of the land, they might lose their skin if they didn't die.

Fortunately, he had made all the preparations, so he wasn't afraid of any mishaps.

Zuo Menggeng was dissatisfied, and was about to explode, but was persuaded by Liu Zongzhou, Li Banghua and others.

"Zhongheng, if you can't bear it a little, you will make a big mess."

With these words, Li Banghua stabilized Zuo Menggeng's mood.

It was only then that he remembered that what he wanted was big, and he really couldn't be messed up because of this little thing.
