Ming Zuo

Chapter 563
Although they are all surnamed Kong, it is obvious that the same surname has different fate.

As the sixty-sixth generation descendant of Confucius, Kong Shiyu didn't get any benefits from this surname except that he still had the surname Kong.

The only thing that can be consoled is the dozens of acres of land passed down from the ancestors, which is enough to feed a family.

Not to mention the Kong family, even the Zhu family of the current royal family, a slightly distant collateral branch, is not as good as ordinary people.

The elder Kong Shangming who was accused by him was different, he was a real relative of Sheng Shenggong.

Kong Shangming is the younger brother of Kong Shangxian, the descendant of the previous generation, and the cousin of Kong Yinzhi.

With this level of relationship, Kong Shangming can be said to be very important and powerful in the Kong clan.

With the help of Kong's lingering shadow and the power in his hands, Kong Shangming enjoys countless glory and wealth.

But he was still not satisfied, and he fell in love with Kong Shi and his family's land again.

In order to seize these lands, Kong Shangming didn't care about his relatives or not. After a lot of trickery, he even killed Kong Shiyu's father, and finally snatched the land into his hands.

Poor Kong Shiyu, not to mention his family's ruin, lost even the land on which he lived, and could only be reduced to a tenant.

I thought that there would be no way to accuse and no hope of revenge in this life.

Unexpectedly, the sky in Qufu has changed.

All the family members of Shengshenggong died, and there was a power vacuum for the Kong family, and the court took the opportunity to take back the administrative power of Qufu.

If you don't seek justice at this time, when will you wait?

And there are so many people testifying for him, Kong Shangming's crime is certain.

Now let's see if the new parental official dares to deal with Kong Shangming.

Huang Zongyan has no psychological burden at all.

"Come here, arrest this old guy who wanted to kill you for money."

Of course the soldiers of the new army listened to him, and immediately rushed forward and tied up Kong Shangming.

Seeing this scene, the rest of the people in Qufu were shocked at first, and then they were all sensational.

How many years!

Like Kong Shiyu, there are many, many people who still have grievances.

However, Qufu is surnamed Kong, and their grievances have nowhere to appeal.

Now that the new Master Qingtian really dared to deal with the Kong family, the big guys couldn't bear it anymore.

"My lord, the little people are wronged!"

"Master Qingtian, please be the master for Xiaomin!"

For a moment, the ground was crying and howling, all of which were Shengdou Xiaomin's anger.

Kong Shangming did not expect that the new county magistrate would really dare to arrest him.

"Bastard! Let me go quickly! My master is a descendant of Confucius Sheng. Shilin looks up to you. Are you trying to cut yourself off from the world?"

Zuo Menggeng smiled, pointed at Kong Shangming who was disgraced, and asked Lu Xiangsheng: "Master Lu, what do you Confucian scholars think?"

Lu Xiangsheng watched the whole process from the side, and learned that the interior of the Kong Corporation was extremely dirty, and he was already so angry that his seven orifices were filled with smoke.

Regarding Zuo Menggeng's behavior of adding fuel to the fire, he couldn't say anything except an angry snort.

At this time, everything is wrong.

Zuo Menggeng didn't hesitate, and hinted at Huang Zongyan.

Huang Zongyan understood, and said loudly: "All things are created equal, everyone is equal. Kong Shangming, you borrowed the legacy of a sage, not only committed crimes, but even your blood relatives. Such evil deeds, even if the Master is alive, he cannot tolerate you. "

His next move completely shocked the audience.

"Come on, execute!"

A soldier stepped forward, aimed at the back of Kong Shangming's head, and shot him on the spot.

boom……

Seeing Kong Shangming being beaten to death on the spot like a broken sack, everyone was stunned.

Previously, Huang Zongyan ordered the arrest of Kong Shangming, although it was enough to please people, but many people felt that the most important thing was a small punishment and a big punishment.

After all, Kong Shangming is a direct descendant of the Kong family, so can he really convict him?
Now seeing that Kong Shangming was actually executed on the spot, and he couldn't die anymore, everyone felt fear.

This new government is extremely ruthless!
Lu Xiangsheng stood up with a "chuckle", bristling with anger.

"General Zuo, this is the Kong family? No matter what the crimes are, they should be discussed by the whole world. Are you not afraid of criticism from scholars when you are punished by lynching?"

Zuo Menggeng sneered.

"The Kong family has been doing evil for thousands of years, and I haven't seen any criticism from you scholars."

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't breathe smoothly when he was hit by these words, and suddenly fell back to his original position, his mind went blank.

As for the people present, seeing that the new government would really seek justice for them, their enthusiasm for accusations was like a volcanic eruption.

Huang Zongyan was as calm as a mountain, took them one by one, and asked them one by one.

Where the facts are solid and the case is clear, the judgment will be made in court.

In just one hour, several members of the Kong clan who committed the most heinous crimes were executed.

Without exception, these people are all close relatives of Yanshenggong Mansion.

Kong's distant relatives are all those who have been oppressed.

Seeing that many old cases were dealt with happily, and the grievances of many years were cleared up, the common people fell to the ground one after another, almost worshiping Huang Zongyan as a god.

Huang Zongyan recalled what Zuo Menggeng taught him, and told the people in Qufu.

"I came to Qufu only for three things. Fairness, fairness... or fairness!"

These words were deafening and made the scene quiet, and everyone listened attentively to the follow-up.

Huang Zongyan paced back and forth on the table, and began to expound his views.

"Now that the disaster is over, we are still in Qufu, and there are still so many people alive. We have to live the next life. Only when we live well can we let the dead relatives rest in peace. But who has the final say on what the regulations should be? ?”

His voice rose a bit.

"Of course the big guy has the final say."

His finger pointed to the inside of the city, and deliberately clicked on the location of Yanshenggong Mansion.

"Now that the city has been completely destroyed, the most urgent thing is to let the big guys have a home. Now there are plenty of places, let's build new houses, and we can build as big as we want, okay?"

The people will be suspicious.

The land in Qufu City is all owned.

Kong's close relatives occupy everything completely, and poor people like them have no place to stand.

"My lord, this is all the land of the Kong family."

Huang Zongyan waved his hand.

"The Kong family is gone, and the land deeds are all void. From today onwards, the government will re-designate the land and make a book."

boom……

The scene immediately became chaotic.

Everyone couldn't believe their ears.

Doesn't this mean that everyone has a share in these lands?
This is not finished.

Huang Zongyan said something explosive again.

"If the big guy wants to survive, he has to farm and eat. Since the land in Qufu is given to the descendants of the sages, the big guy is also the descendant of the Kong family, so he deserves what he deserves, right?"

The people who were originally in a mess were silent for a moment, and then a sky-shattering roar broke out.

"Long live the great master, long live, long live!"

Seeing the scene where the common people shouted for support, Lu Xiangsheng felt an endless chill in his bones.

He finally understood.

"General Zuo, good trick!"

Zuo Menggeng sat upright like a bell, speaking righteously.

"The hearts of the people you don't want, I just picked them up."
