Chapter 360

Kong Yan's heart has been going up and down in the past few days, and he is panicked.

I arranged for Kong Liang to go with those thieves to kill Bao Zhao and the others, but there was still no news after a few days!

He originally thought that Bao Zhao was so courageous that he didn't leave the pier, and Hu Wanshan might not have made a move yet.

Two days later, the people below reported that Baozhao had gone to the building, and he realized something was wrong, so he quickly sent someone to inquire about the news.

Only then did I know that a post station a hundred miles away from the pier was burned down, and the post station soldiers were also killed and injured.

Only then did Kong Yan realize that Hu Wanshan had gone to hunt and kill Bao Zhao, but why was there no news? !
After waiting for a few days, Kong Yan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and couldn't sit still!
Even if Kong Liang felt that he had made a great contribution and didn't know where to go to celebrate, he should be back now!
What's more, if you have made meritorious service, how can you not report it first in order to ask for a reward?
The less people know about his relationship with the bandits, the better. As a last resort, Kong Yan had to go to Shiziling himself.

I met Hu Wanshan at the foot of the mountain, and hurriedly asked: "Master Hu, Xiao Ke has a housekeeper named Kong Liang, who went out to do some errands. I don't know where he is now. Has the matter been completed?"

Hu Wanshan was angry, and said coldly while riding on the horse: "Hmph, to tell you the truth, he is already dead!"

Kong Yan's eyes widened, and his heart was pulled, "What did Mr. Hu say, did the matter get done?!"

He doesn't care whether Kong Liang is dead or not, the key is the violence!
Hu Wanshan said: "If it wasn't for your family's dog legs to interfere, how could it not be possible! It was him who interfered again and again, causing me to die so many brothers. How do you think your Kong family is going to pay for this debt? !"

"..."

Kong Yan's mind was buzzing!
His heart also rose to his throat, and he said in disbelief: "There are so many of you, are you still hiding in the dark, and you can't even kill a few people?!

Even if it is a wine bag and a rice bag, it is easy to grab!What the hell did you do! "

Hu Wanshan stared at him, pointed at him and cursed: "Second Kong! If you dare to speak nonsense again, I will kill you now!"

"Although I didn't watch him die, I shot an arrow through his chest, enough to take half of his life away! I'm still surrounded by anger, so I'm sure I won't survive!"

Kong Yan was horrified!Half-Life is alive too!
This means that he can report everything that happened here to the court!
If the grandson of the emperor wanted to support Bao Zhao, he would be in danger!
oops!I really shouldn't have trusted these bandits so much back then!
Incompetent bungler!

But Kong Yan didn't dare to get angry, who knows what these bandits can do in a fit of anger!

"Master Hu, we will meet later!"

Kong Yan held back the fear and anger in his heart, said goodbye and left.

Watching him leave, Hu Wanshan gave a cold snort of contempt, and shouted to the little ones: "Little ones! Come up the mountain with me, let's eat meat with big mouthfuls and drink with big bowls!"

On the way back, Kong Yan sat in the carriage, trembling with fright, his face was pale, and his lips were trembling...

He was really a little scared. These pleadings entered the capital, and Bao Zhao was seriously injured. The emperor's grandson is likely to hold the Kong family accountable!

The Kong family has great achievements and profound influence. Maybe the imperial court will not do anything to the Kong family, but they can still deal with themselves!
I can't compare with Yan Shenggong and the entire Kong family at all!
Looking back at Shiziling, Kong Yan's eyes showed a hint of ruthlessness!
After returning to Jining Mansion, Kong Yan hurriedly went to the mansion office to ask Zhang Yong, the magistrate, and formally wrote a letter of greeting.

But he waited for a long time at the gate of the magistrate, but a small clerk came and told Kong Yan that the magistrate was busy with work and did not see any outsiders...

Because this is Zhang Yong's reply in person after reading the greeting post in the back house.

The master asked puzzledly: "Master, I don't know why you avoided seeing him? I heard that the master had a drink with Kong Erye before..."

Zhang Yong shook his head and said with a sad face: "You don't understand... He got into some troubles, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to calm down..."

The master looked surprised, "Is there something that the Kong family can't calm down?"

Zhang Yong nodded, sighed and said: "The Kong family has been going smoothly for so many years, and has received many favors from the court. Even some members of the family have not been punished for their illegal behavior..."

"People, after a long time, it is inevitable that you will develop arrogance! You will become lawless! I just don't know if it will be affected this time..."

Zhu Yuanzhang treated the Confucian family kindly, and once ordered that "descendants of sages and sages" should "bend the law and forgive them".

According to the records of "Ming Shilu": "The people have a lawsuit against Kong Xida, the magistrate of Qufu County, and they should be arrested and questioned. The above said: 'If you commit crimes after Xida, the first sage, you may be tired of his world virtue, not because of his excellence and admiration.'" ask."

There was someone who made enough money to be the magistrate of Qufu, and he should have been arrested, but after Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he was a saint, he forgave him.

In the 24th year of Hongwu, Kong Xiwen, the magistrate of Qufu County, "does not report floods in the territory", and the Ministry of Punishment "please arrest and question him". As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Que Li's post, after the first sage, he has no division."

Even when there was a flood, he concealed it and did not report it. Zhu Yuanzhang still didn't pursue it!
With such a generous treatment, one does not have to be held accountable for breaking the law, and is still aloof, how could the Kong family not be indifferent!

Although Master doesn't know what happened, but since Master Master said so, it must be a big deal!
Don't say: "If this is the case, my lord should really avoid suspicion for the time being..."

Zhang Yong frowned, nodded and said: "From today onwards, if anyone from the Kong family asks to see you again, you will block it for me. No matter who it is, I will not see you! But don't offend them, understand?"

"The villain understands, please rest assured!"

At this time, Zhang Yong didn't want to help the Kong family any more, but he didn't want to have a bad relationship with them either.
After all, how the imperial court will deal with them is still unknown, and no one knows whether the imperial court will forgive them.

Besides, even if it is punishment, it is impossible to deal with the entire Kong family and Duke Yansheng, right?
As long as the Kong family is still there, and Duke Yansheng is still there, I can't afford to offend them.

People, you have to leave a way out for yourself, you can't go out of the way!
Kong Yan knew that Zhang Yong must have known about the bandits attacking Baozhao, and he could definitely guess that it had something to do with him.

Since the magistrate could not count on him, he didn't waste any time and immediately went to look for Qianhu from Jiningwei.

Kong Yan wanted to use the strength of officers and soldiers to attack Shiziling and kill Hu Wanshan!

As long as he is killed, the government will not find evidence that he paid for the murder!

Relying on his status as the second master of the Kong family, Kong Yan expected that the officers and soldiers of Jining Guard would definitely buy it. After all, it was their duty to exterminate bandits.

Besides, if you can get in touch with the Kong family, who would refuse?
But to Kong Yan's surprise, he was once again rejected!
After all, it was the officers and soldiers of the guard who rescued Bao Zhao that day, and Jining Wei Qianhu also got the news, so naturally he dared not have anything to do with the Kong family at this time!
Bandits?

I'm afraid it wasn't the Kong family who borrowed a knife to kill someone!

After being rejected, Kong Yan knew that the news spread quickly, and it might spread to Qufu soon!

At that time, if I want to kill people and silence them, I will be powerless!

So Kong Yan immediately rushed back to Qufu overnight, and sent his confidantes to discredit and knock on the door of the servants' rooms, pulling them up from the kang.

Then he rushed to Jining Mansion with these servants non-stop.

There were bandits and robbers on Shiziling, and Kong Yan didn't dare to attack in the daytime, so he had to sneak up in the dark, which caught Hu Wanshan and others by surprise.

Some bandits were killed or injured, and the rest fled along the path on the mountain in a hurry, not daring to pay for it with death.

Kong Yan immediately checked the dead and injured, and found that there was no body of Hu Wanshan, so he must have escaped.
Although he didn't kill him, but as long as he escaped somewhere far away, he wouldn't be a threat to him!

After all, in this era, it is not so easy for the government to catch an experienced bandit!
It was only then that Kong Yan breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there was no evidence that he had colluded with robbers and robbed and killed the court officials, then he would be able to escape!

After all, Yan Shenggong's younger brother can't be disposed of at will, right?

Even if Bao Zhaoming knows that he did it, as long as he is not caught, with the connections and influence of the Kong family, he should not be able to escape...

When Kong Yan returned to Qufu, before he dismounted, the steward of the clan hurriedly said: "Second Master, you are back! Master has been waiting for you for a long time..."

"What's the matter?!"

The steward said: "I don't know, I just heard that the master was very angry and lost his temper. Go over and have a look..."
