I want to be a grandson

Chapter 348 Full of evil!

The two exchanged words again, and Bao Zhao walked away without bothering to talk to him.

Whether the common people deliberately framed it is not up to the Kong family!
Since I have received the pleadings, I will definitely deal with it fairly and hand over the case to the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

As for whether the Ministry of Punishment "cares about the overall situation" and chooses to turn a blind eye or close one eye, or deal with it impartially and order the Kong family to return the land, then it is not up to them to decide.

But no matter what, you have to do your own responsibilities!

Sitting in the box, Kong Yan looked gloomy.

Kong Liang stood aside and asked tentatively: "Second Master, what should we do now that the sixth-rank petty official is not allowed to enter? If he is allowed to bring the pleadings back to the capital, it may affect our family's reputation..."

Seeing that he didn't speak, Kong Liang continued: "Second Master, do you think you want to have a talk with Mr. Hu from Shiziling?"

Kong Yan knew what he wanted to do, shook his head and said, "It's just a matter of the docks and the fields. Now that we hand over the docks to the court, the court will not go into it. As for the matters of the fields...it's not a big problem!"

"Even if something really needs to happen, let Manager Zhou at home take care of it..."

After all, the status of the Kong family is there. As long as it is not a heinous crime, the court will give them dignity.

It's just a few hundred acres of land that have been invaded. For such a trivial matter, the imperial court will not go to war.

After all, in the eyes of everyone, the crime is not serious. Even if the Kong family was to be dealt with severely, the courtiers and scholars would not agree!
When the time comes when the Kong family introduces a scapegoat, then the matter will come to a perfect conclusion!

For this matter, it is not worth contacting bandits and thieves to harm the court officials!
Kong Liang said with a smile: "Second Master is really confident! I admire you! Steward Zhou is too old, not only useless, but also smelly and hard. Naturally, he has to bear what he does!"

This Guanshi Zhou was a close friend of Kong Yan's father, Kong Xixue. Since the previous generation Yan Shenggong passed away, Guanshi Zhou has become Kong Na's confidant.
Because he and Kong Yan did not deal with each other, the two had some conflicts, so Kong Yan wanted him to be the scapegoat!
"Humph!"

Kong Yan still said angrily: "Since he refuses to drink a toast and insists on taking a fine wine, after this incident, I will let him see how powerful the Kong family is!"

"Send me someone to watch them! If anything happens, report it in time!"

"Yes, Second Master, just rest assured!"

Since Bao Zhao received the pleading yesterday and promised to appeal for the common people, the merchants and common people on the wharf have become very respectful towards Bao Zhao and others.

Because Bao Zhao safeguarded their interests and drove away the Kong family, a vampire.

And it's because the people think he's a good official!
There is a steelyard in people's hearts!

A good official is not only beneficial to the people, but also greatly beneficial to the businessmen!

They also love Bao Zhao from their hearts.

Therefore, when they pass through the port, they will take the initiative to declare the quantity and value of the goods, so that they can be clearly counted.

When the sun was slanting to the west and the sky was full of sunset, there were still boats coming and going on the pier, which was a lively scene.

Bao Zhao looked up at the sky, and ordered: "Li Cheng, sort out the statistics of the past few days, and we have to leave tomorrow."

"Yes, please rest assured, my lord, this subordinate understands." Li Cheng said in command.

At this time, the irritable face was full of doubts, and he listened attentively, "Li Cheng, did you hear anything?"

Hearing what he said, Li Cheng immediately listened attentively.

After all, Li Cheng is a martial arts practitioner, with sharp eyes and ears, he looked in the direction of the voice and said, "My lord, I'm afraid something has happened again!"

"Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

"Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

"Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

"..."

The sound of the gong beating and the shouts of the people approaching from far away attracted the attention of everyone on the pier.

I saw a group of people either supporting the old and the young, or in ragged clothes, or with inconvenient legs and feet, or with disabilities, or devastated...

A group of people beat the gong and walked to the pier step by step.

In front of them, everyone held a pleading paper in their hands!
He kept shouting in his mouth: "I beg the Lord Qingtian to seek justice! I beg the Lord Qingtian to seek justice!"

Li Cheng glanced at these people, took a deep breath, and said with a complicated heart: "Master, do you want to avoid it?"

Even Bao Zhao was shocked by this scene!

If the villagers yesterday had the same grievances and appeals, then you can see how many grievances these people have by looking at the papers everywhere!
Of course Bao Zhao knew how serious this matter was!

But after all, I am an official ordered by the court, and I am an upright official in my heart, how can I avoid it against my conscience!
When all the people came to Bao Zhao, they knelt down on the ground one after another, raised the papers in their hands above their heads, looked at Bao Zhao with their eyes, and prayed...

"I beg Master Qingtian, to avenge our grievances!"

"I beg Master Qingtian, to avenge our grievances!"

The leader is a gray-haired old man, judging from his attire, he should also be a scholar, and should be an old boy.

Bao Zhao quickly supported him, only to find that the old man's right hand was gone, leaving only a half-empty sleeve.

"Old man, you can't be such a big gift! You really are a shame!"

The old boy was also full of vicissitudes, bowed and saluted and said: "Master, we are the people of Qufu. I heard that there is a master Qingtian who can avenge the grievances of our people. We walked for a day, just want to I beg the master to redress his grievances..."

In ancient times, there were very few avenues for the common people to redress their grievances!
When they hear that there is an upright official, they will definitely have hope, and even if they travel long distances, they will come to him and ask him to avenge themselves!
This is also because Bao Zhao's time in the officialdom is too short, and he hasn't learned the tricks of those old foxes and old fritters.

If they had received the pleadings yesterday, they would have left immediately!
Because after the common people hear about it, they will inevitably flock to it, and then they will offend too many people!

If you leave in time, you can still get a good reputation for urgently redressing the grievances of the people!

Looking at the people kneeling on the ground, Bao Zhao was really full of indignation!

Qufu!

The land of saints, where the Confucius Temple is located, and the world has received the grace of the emperor, so there are so many grievances? !
"The old man said slowly, why are there so many pleadings?"

Old Tongsheng said: "Master Qingtian, they all have grievances. In the area around Qufu, no one dares to write complaints for them, but the old man is not afraid. The old family members are dead, and their complaints are all written by the old man. Let the Elder Lord be the master for us today!"

Bao Zhao said: "Old man, why are you wronged, take it easy and don't worry..."

The old boy looked at the people behind him, and said, "Folks, if you have any grievances, please talk to the elder..."

A middle-aged man with a paper-like head stepped forward on his knees and said angrily, "My lord, the Kong family robbed my land and said it was their family's ancestral property.

My brother asked them to reason and was beaten up by them. Because the injury was too serious, he died when he got home!Please, my lord, be the master for my brother! "

Another man also knelt on the ground, holding the paper and said: "My lord, the villain's family is in the grain business, because he didn't follow the Kong family to sell rice at a high price and exploit the people.
They burned the villain's shop, and all the family property was burned down. If the villain and his family didn't run fast, they would have been buried in the sea of ​​fire long ago. Please be the master! "

An old woman burst into tears and said with grief: "Master Qingtian, I beg you to be the master of the women... My son is working in the Kong family and repairing the ancestral graves for them. He has been busy for half a year and has delayed the farm work." ..."

"But in the end, they didn't even give me a penny of wages. My son begged for it several times, but they refused to give it to him...

My son started fighting with them, but they were really murderous, they even beat my son to death, and said that he committed the crime first..."

"My lord, my son died unjustly..."

"The women went to the government several times to appeal for grievances, but they either didn't dare to take care of it, or they said it was my son's fault. My lord, I beg you to make the decision!"

Bao Zhao's heart sank to the bottom, although he had expected it a long time ago, but when he heard such words, he still felt very shocked!

All these incidents are all evil deeds done by the Kong family!

Although it has not been interrogated or rigorously investigated, Bao Zhao believes that the Kong family is absolutely inseparable!
After all, in this era, no one would take their wealth and life to frame the noble Kong family!
At this time, a man in his forties walked over with his wife on their knees, and the two held up the pleadings,

Filled with pain, he said: "My lord, the villain's family is a tenant of the Kong family. The youngest daughter was betrothed to him a few months ago. I don't know where the young master of the Kong family met the youngest daughter.

He forced my daughter to be his concubine, but my daughter refused to die, and the villain even brought his servants to break into the villain's house and raped my daughter..."

"My lord, my daughter couldn't bear this humiliation, and she didn't have the face to see her fiancé again. In grief, she threw herself into the river... My lord, I beg you, the hygienic girl, to avenge your grievances!"

"..."

At this moment, Kong Liang, who was standing beside the pier, turned white and black, and was frightened and angry at the same time!
How dare these untouchables come here to seek justice!
I am really impatient!
It seems that they were too polite to them before, and the rectification was not severe enough, otherwise, how dare they make trouble!

With so many people and so many cases, if they were exposed, it would be no small matter!

An evil deed, with the name of the Kong family and Yan Shenggong, can still be suppressed, and a scapegoat can be found.

But if he did a hundred evil things and was publicized, then he would be in trouble!
It will be very difficult for the Kong family to separate the relationship!

Kong Liang knew the seriousness of the matter, and quickly ordered: "Go! Go and report the situation here to the second master! These untouchables are really rebellious!"

"Yes, little one, let's go!"

After speaking, he immediately got on his fast horse and galloped towards Jining City.

Everyone knows this is a big deal!
