I want to be a grandson

Chapter 350

"My lord, we have received so many grievance cases, all of which are directed at the Kong family. I am worried that some people will jump over the wall in a hurry, which will be detrimental to your lord."

"So this subordinate feels that it's better to leave tonight while it's dark, so as not to have long nights and dreams!"

Inside the station, Li Cheng looked at Bao Zhao who was sitting under the lamp, and expressed his worries.

Bao Zhao's face became tense and he said, "Do you think the Kong family has the guts to attack the station and kill the court officials?"

Li Cheng said: "There are too many cases this time. Every citizen has grievances. As long as these cases are handed over to the court in the morning, it will be difficult for the Kong family to escape.

Even if the emperor forgives them, it will hurt them for a while. "

"If the imperial court really dealt with it fairly and returned justice to the common people, even if the golden signboard of Duke Yansheng was still preserved, how many of the Kong family involved in the incident would be beheaded, and how many would be distributed to the frontiers! "

After a pause, Li Cheng continued: "But if you try to get rid of the adults so that these pleadings cannot reach the capital, they will have room to change...

So in comparison, it is more cost-effective to commit murder. My lord, if I were a member of the Kong family, I would choose to take risks. "

Bao Zhao said angrily: "If they really do this, aren't they afraid of implicating the entire Kong family?!"

Li Cheng sighed, "My lord, the imperial court will not do anything to Yan Shenggong himself, so no matter what, Yan Shenggong is fine.

But the rest of the Kong family are different, they only think about themselves when facing life and death, and they don't think about what will happen to the family..."

Li Cheng was born as a general, he was used to seeing too much life and death, and he also knew how selfish people are in the face of life and death.

"Hey, the test of life and death touches people's hearts the most..."

Bao Zhao said with emotion: "You're right, these people are able to do such evil things, it shows that they have no loyalty and righteousness in them, they have long put aside human dignity and conscience, people like them Nothing can be done!"

Holding back the sadness in his heart, Bao Zhao said, "Get ready, we'll leave tonight!"

"Yes, my subordinates retire!"

The post station where Bao Zhao lived was still outside Jining City, closer to the canal wharf.

Under the dim oil lamp, Bao Zhao looked at the white aspirations and the bright red handprints on the table, and felt very hurt in his heart.

Each pleading paper represents a grievance!It represents the injustice suffered by the people!
Bao Zhao really didn't understand, as the family of Yan Shenggong Kong, who had been conferred by the imperial court for generations and rewarded by many parties, the most important thing they lacked was money!

The imperial court treated them well in many ways, many lands do not need to pay land tax, and because Qufu is the hometown of sages, the Kong family has accumulated a lot of land over the years.

Moreover, generally large families will let people in the family take care of the business, which will also greatly increase their income.

Therefore, just relying on regular channels is enough to maintain the Kong family's fine clothes, fine food, luxury and enjoyment!
What Bao Zhao doesn't understand is that they are already so rich, why are they still greedy!

In addition to the sins committed by lusting for yellow and white things, there are many sins of arrogance and recklessness!

They can take advantage of the power in the family to kill people at will and rape women at will. This is not greed, but cruelty and shamelessness!
Up to now, Bao Zhao can still recall how much he admired and respected Confucius' theories when he was learning the way of sages.

As the descendants of the sage Confucius, the members of the Confucian family will not be ignorant of the theories of their ancestors, and they will not have read the books of sages!
Unexpectedly, the descendants of the saints turned out to be a bunch of snakes, rats and dogs!
This is such a disappointment...

If Confucius was still alive, would he be saddened to see the situation of his descendants?

Baozhao’s heart hurts because he reads the books of sages and pursues the way of sages, so he also respects the Confucius family very much invisibly.
Now I find that the object of my admiration is so evil, so cruel and shameless!
"Ugh……"

With a long and irritable sigh, he put away the emotion in his heart.

He stood up, rolled up the paper on the table, and put it in the leather bag.

There were horses in the post station, and the postmen were also alarmed because they had to set off overnight.

Because there are relatively few people accompanying the guards, they can still deal with ordinary robbers, and ordinary people do not have the courage to dare to rob and kill court officials.

Originally, I thought that the postman would follow the escort back to the capital, but I can think that this place is too close to the horse's head.

It's hard to say whether the postmen here will be bought by the Kong family.

So for the sake of safety, Bao Zhao had no choice but to give up this idea.

Holding the reins of the horse in his hand, Bao Zhao tightened the leather bag on his body. There were more than 100 papers in it, and the hopes of more than 100 families...

Upon seeing this, Li Cheng said: "My lord, leave him to me. If anything happens, my lord can get away."

Li Cheng said this because the other party's target was Bao Zhao himself, and the pleadings.

When the time comes, Bao Zhao will be carrying a leather bag, so he will easily become the target of the opponent and attract the attention of the opponent.

Then the storm is dangerous!

But Bao Zhao shook his head and said: "I am the next one, so I will hand them over to the court safely. This is my duty and a promise to the people."

But Li Cheng insisted: "My lord, it is about the grievances of the common people, so I have to hand over the talents to my subordinates. Please rest assured, my lord, even if I risk my life, my subordinates will not let the certificate be lost!"

But Bao Zhao said, "I've made up my mind, don't need to say more!"

Seeing that he was so decisive, Li Cheng no longer forced himself, but said to the postman: "You guys also have spare leather bags here, take them out and carry them on your backs!"

This leather bag is used to hold important letters and official documents. It is said to be a bag, but it is actually made of cowhide in a cylindrical shape. One end is tightly sealed and the other end is covered.

All the seams are painted with glue made from vermilion lacquer and beef tendon. After the glue dries, the seams are tightly sealed.

The leather barrel made in this way is not only waterproof, but also not afraid of smoke and fire to a certain extent. Even if it is cut with an ordinary sword, it will not be easily cut off.

The postman took the order and hurried into the house, took five or six leather tubes and came out.

Li Cheng said: "Everyone carry it on their backs!"

These followers all knew what was going on, so they didn't ask any more questions, and immediately took the leather tube from the postman and tied it on their body.

Everyone was ready, and under Bao Zhao's order, everyone rode their horses and swung their whips, and headed south...

Because the sky is dark, even with a lantern, it will not be able to illuminate very far, and it will attract the attention of others.
So they could only rely on the faint moonlight and the eyes of the horses to move forward in the dark.

"These masters are really good at tossing people! Even if you set off at night, you are not afraid of falling into trouble!"

The postman, who had finished his work, closed the gate of the station,

He said at the same time: "It's not their fault, so many people have sued the Kong family, and they have received so many lawsuits, it's no wonder they are not afraid!"

"If you ask me, this lord is not easy. Even if he offends the Kong family, he wants to avenge the common people. He is really the master Qingtian..."

"That's right, no one dares to take care of the Kong family who have done so many outrageous things. I hope someone will take care of it this time..."

"You guys, you're so naive! All civil servants in the world read the books of the ancestors of the Confucian family, why don't you stand on the side of the Confucian family and speak for them?"

"That's right, I'm afraid that nothing will come of it when I bring the petition back to the capital. Maybe this lord will be impeached..."

"Who doesn't know the peeing nature of civil servants! It's a pity that such an adult..."

"Thump, thump, thump..." There was a crisp sound of horseshoes!
When it was heard, these postmen who were already planning to go back to rest suddenly changed their expressions!

Then I heard the sound of horseshoes and rushed to the gate of the post station, "Wrap up and let no one escape! Hurry up!"

These postmen hurried to the next room and took out their knives, and drew them out of their sheaths, with panic and anxiety written all over their faces.

There were bold postmen who plucked up their courage and looked out along the crack of the door, only to see the torches flickering outside, and there were five or sixty people blocking the gate of the posthouse.

In addition to those who surrounded the station, there were more than a hundred people from the other side!
A thieves reported: "The boss has surrounded the post, they can't escape!"

Hu Wanshan was riding on the horse, with a ferocious smile on his face, "Okay! Then let's catch a turtle in a urn today! Go and call the door!"

Four or five minions immediately came to the door of the post station with knives, "Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!" They hammered the door of the post station, knocking loudly!
He shouted loudly: "Open the door quickly! Open the door quickly! If you are sensible, open the door quickly! Grandpa still spares your life! Otherwise, when we break open the door, we will kill you!"

The five or six postmen were even more frightened, tightly holding the knife in their hands, but the sweat from their hands made them feel that they couldn't hold it tightly.

Of course Hu Wanshan would not be so stupid as to knock on the door, that would be too time-consuming and laborious!

"Climb over the wall and enter!"

With an order, the thieves immediately took out the hook with the rope, climbed over the wall along the rope, and fell into the post station.

As there were more and more thieves in the station, they rushed towards the gate, only to find the postmen there.

Seeing that there were so many people on the other side, the postmen didn't dare to risk their lives, so they were driven aside by those thieves, and the door was opened by them.

Afterwards, these thieves turned the station upside down, but they didn't see Bao Zhao and others.

When the news reached Hu Wanshan's ears, he knew that the other party had fled overnight!They are so vigilant!
Hu Wanshan didn't expect that he was in vain, and he gritted his teeth with hatred.

Quickly ordered: "Go and see, which direction they are going!"

As an experienced thieves, you can know which direction the opponent is going based on the horseshoe prints on the ground, and you can also know the approximate time when the opponent is walking!

After a while, someone came to report and said: "The head of the family, the brothers found the horseshoe prints, and they are going south. Could it be the dog official?"

Hu Wanshan greeted his subordinates and said, "Chasing! Follow me! They can't run far at night!"

"Go! Keep up!"
