Chapter 349 Thief (please subscribe, ask monthly pass)

"Snapped!"

Kong Yan angrily threw the teacup on the ground and shouted loudly, "What is going on? Why are there so many people going to complain!"

"You have traveled hundreds of miles from Qufu to the dock, and now you have received the news!"

After hearing Kong Liang's report and knowing that the people of Qufu went to the pier one after another to appeal to Bao Zhao, Kong Yan was shocked!

That is a case of hundreds of injustices!

Moreover, each of them suffered a great deal of bitterness and hatred, and if hundreds of cases gathered together, even the Kong family would have to shed their skins!
And once it spreads, the Kong family's reputation will be ruined!

Therefore, Kong Yan immediately realized the seriousness of the matter!

Angrily scolded: "So many people have come to the pier, are you blind or deaf?! You haven't heard any news! Waste!"

Kong Liang hurriedly said: "Second Master forgives the crime, no one thought of them, and they still refuse to let it go, and want to seek justice! It's the negligence of the villain, please punish the Second Master!"

"boom!"

With a punch on the table, Kong Yan said with a distorted face: "These untouchables really don't know how to live or die! The Kong family let them live, and they dare to sue the Kong family! It is unbearable!"

Hong Liang on the side hurriedly said: "Second Master, do you want me to lead people to arrest these people? Even if Bao Zhao gets the pleadings, without the victim, no one can do anything against us!"

"madness!"

Kong Yan cursed angrily: "Bao Zhao has already accepted the pleadings, and now you can kill all those people who don't know how to live or die, and you can't stop this matter!"

"Hundreds of people died all of a sudden, and they all sued the Kong family with a grudge against us. All fools know what we did! When the court is furious, the crime will be serious!"

As a strong emperor, even if there is no bitter master, Zhu Yuanzhang and the people in the world know it well!
Who didn't know that this was done by the Kong family!

At that time, if Zhu Yuanzhang is annoyed, the Kong family will have no room for change!
Kong Liang asked anxiously: "Second Master, let's forget it? These people dare to do this today, and there may be something wrong in the future."

Kong Yan took a deep breath, tried his best to calm down and said, "The crux of the problem now is not with these untouchables, but with violence!"

"As long as we press this matter down, it won't be too late to deal with those untouchables! If they dare to demolish the Kong family, I will kill them!"

He commanded with extremely sinister eyes: "Hurry up and prepare thirty thousand guan, prepare a fast horse for me, I want to go to Shiziling myself!"

Kong Liang also knew what he had done wrong, and wanted to take credit for the crime, so he asked for orders immediately: "Second Master, you have a noble status, and you can't go to a den of thieves like Shiziling.

If something goes wrong, it's okay!Second master, let me go, I know the head of Hu, and I will definitely get things done! "

Kong Yan interrupted him by raising his hand, and said very solemnly: "This matter is no small matter, I don't feel relieved if I don't go there in person, don't talk too much, get ready!"

"Yes, second master, wait a moment, I'll go right away!" After saying that, she hurried out of the room.

The Kong family has a big business, and the [-] yuan was prepared very quickly.

Kong Yan then ordered several confidantes to escort the money cart to Shiziling with him, and sent someone to notify in advance.

When they arrived at the foot of Shiziling Mountain, Hu Wanshan, the leader of the thieves, also rode his horse and walked over with a wobble.

Before he got close, he suddenly took out a big bow from the horse's back, bent the bow and shot an arrow,

What he used was the sounding arrow, the sounding arrow cut through the air and made a sharp sound, with a sound of "Dang", the sounding arrow plunged into the soil in front of Kong Yan.

When the arrow goes down, it is tantamount to declaring sovereignty, telling Kong Yan whose territory is here, and who has the final say!
Kong Yan rode on horseback, cupped his hands politely and said, "Master Hu is so good at archery, I admire him!"

Passing through Guibao today, I forgot to say hello to Mr. Hu, it's really presumptuous..."

In a word, I have expressed my respect to Hu Wanshan to my cousin, and I will not overwhelm the host.

At the same time, I also picked myself out, I just "passed" here, and the money was intercepted by the thieves, but I didn't collude with the bandits and give them money!

When Hu Wanshan saw Kong Yan, he immediately smiled all over his face, as if the archery just hadn't happened at all.
He said happily: "Brother Kong, I have admired you for a long time. It is rare that I have the pleasure to come here in person today. I am honored!"

Kong Yan looked at the bandits brought behind Hu Wanshan, unwilling to reveal his connection with him,

He said politely: "Master Hu is being polite, how can I be grateful for paying a visit to Master Hu? Please forgive me for such a presumptuous act!"

"Brother Kong, what is on the carriage?"

"If you go back to Master Hu's house, the family plans to do some business elsewhere, so I have prepared [-] guan to send over..."

When Hu Wanshan heard that there were [-] guan, he was immediately overjoyed, and hung the bow on the horse's back.

He said with a smile: "Brother Kong, our brothers are old acquaintances, you give me some money, why cover it up, it really makes people feel uncomfortable!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, [-] guan is really a lot."

If you want to get rid of the relationship, I will let you get rid of it!

Kong Yan frowned slightly, seeing that the thieves around Hu Wanshan were also smiling, as if they were making fun of his cautiousness.

There was some displeasure in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, but said: "Master Hu is joking, who doesn't know that Mr. Hu dominates one side, the most important thing is money."

Seeing that Hu Wanshan was still smiling, Kong Yanbian said, "Master Hu, how about taking a step to speak?"

"Okay, then let's catch up with Brother Kong!"

The thieves beside some people said: "Brother Kong has a high status, so don't follow me!"

Both got off their horses and walked away together.

"Brother Kong, it's far enough away, they can't hear it!"

Kong Yan looked back, and didn't feel relieved until he was sure that the people around couldn't hear their voices.

"Master Hu, be careful when sailing for thousands of years, little brother needs to be more careful, please forgive me!"

Hu Wanshan waved his hand and said indifferently: "Brother Kong, don't worry, my brothers are all reliable, no one will gossip, and things between us will not be spread, you just need to rest assured!"

"With Mr. Hu's words, I feel at ease..."

"[-] guan, it's another big deal, my brother can make a lot of money this time, right?"

Hu Wanshan has dealt with Kong Yan before, and knowing that he paid so much at one time, it is expected that the other party's income will be much higher!

But Kong Yan said: "This time it's a loss-making business. I didn't make a profit. I just wanted to ask Mr. Hu for a favor."

Hu Wanshan smiled and said, "I don't know how my brother wants us to help this time?"

Kong Yan pretended to be relaxed, and said very casually: "I just want to ask the head of the family to kill someone for me. He has some followers around him, and it is difficult for me to strike, so I thought of the head of the Hu family.
After the matter is completed, the remaining [-] Guan can be offered! "

The [-] guan sent here was the order money, half of the payment, which was also agreed by them earlier.

Hu Wanshan stared at him and sized him up carefully. Such gaze made Kong Yan feel very uncomfortable, but he still behaved calmly,
Hu Wanshan said with a smile: "My dear brother, since you are willing to pay [-] yuan to kill a few people, it means that the identity of the other party must not be simple, otherwise it would not be so valuable..."

"Don't hide it, you'd better show me the truth, or else I won't be happy."

[-] yuan to pay for murder, this life is too expensive!

Are ordinary people worth the price?
"Brother, you tell me the identity of the other party, so that I know how to kill him, otherwise if there is a mistake in this process, I will not be responsible..."

Hearing this, Kong Yan could only tell the truth, if he knew Bao Zhao's identity and changed his mind temporarily,
Or Bao Zhao has some hole cards that he didn't expect, so that Bao Zhao and others escaped, that would be a bad thing!
So he said: "To tell the truth, this man's name is Bao Zhao, he is the head of the sixth rank of the household department, and he was ordered to set up a tax office in Jinan Prefecture.

But in his hands, he holds the handle of my family. Although it is not a big deal, everyone wants to be quiet, right? "

"Imperial official? Or a Beijing official?!"

Hu Wanshan said in surprise: "Brother, do you think that my life is long, old brother? If this annoys the court, as long as someone mentions it, my cottage will be wiped out. The risk is too great..."

"Such a dangerous thing, you have to pay more..."

"How about this, you add another [-] to make up a whole number, [-], I'll do it for you!"

This is simply the rhythm of laymen who add money!

Spending [-] pennies really made Kong Yan feel a pain in the flesh!

But this matter must not let the Kong family come forward, otherwise the involvement will be too deep, and the Kong family will not be able to clean up!
So I had no choice but to reluctantly say: "Okay, as long as you kill them, the rest of the money will be sent immediately!"

"It's easy to say! Brother Xian is really happy! I like people like Brother Xian!"

Kong Yan exhorted and said: "Boss Hu, this matter is of great importance, and it must be foolproof! Bao Zhao must not be allowed to live! And..."

Looking at Hu Wanshan, Kong Yan said solemnly: "They met bandits and robbers who robbed their houses, and they died..."

"This matter must not be related to the Kong family!"

Hu Wanshan said with a smile: "Don't worry, brother! They died unexpectedly, what does it have to do with the Kong family?"

Kong Yan nodded in satisfaction, looking at the already darkened night sky, his face was full of ferocity, and his eyes revealed a ferocious look...

Kong Yan even found out the reasons for the deaths of Bao Zhao and others. After all, there were many bandits in ancient times, and it is not uncommon for them to rush past officials to attack them!
As long as Bao Zhao and those pleadings cannot enter the capital, and no one knows what happened here, the Kong family will be able to eliminate the remaining hidden dangers!
The things Kong Yan brought were "robbed" by the thieves, so he had no choice but to go back the same way.

"Kong Liang!"

Hearing the shout, Kong Liang immediately patted his horse and came to Kong Yan's side.

Kong Yan gritted his teeth, and ordered angrily, "After you go back, check immediately who has petitioned for grievances and handed over the pleadings!"

"Yes, the villain understands!"
