I want to be a grandson

Chapter 363 Don't Scale Four Taels, Scale Thousands of Catties

Of course the three of them knew that there was no grievance in this!
It must be that the Kong family committed too many crimes, which caused the people to backlash!
After all, Kong Na wanted the three of them to protect the Kong family and help the Kong family deal with imperial envoys!

But you must know that this is a matter of losing your head!

How could it be so easy to help the Kong family!

Although the words are gentle, but to help them, I don't know how much blood and rain will be behind it!
Yan Shenggong is letting them gamble their lives!
Wang Ying, the envoy of the Prosecutor, shook his head and said, "Yan Shenggong, it's not that we don't want to help you. Since the imperial court sent people from the Ministry of Punishment to investigate the case, we can't intervene, and there is no way to help. Please also ask Yan Shenggong Forgive me!"

Liu Xing also said: "Yes, Lord Yan Sheng, we are also powerless, forgive me..."

Zhao Kang nodded, obviously expressing the same attitude.

Kong Na's face darkened immediately, he gritted his teeth secretly,
There was a hint of cruelty in his eyes and he said: "Three adults, are you really unwilling to help the Kong family?"

Just now Liu Hang and Wang Ying had expressed their attitudes, and Zhao Kang, the highest-ranking chief envoy among the three, said, "Yan Shenggong, it's not that we are unwilling to help, but that we can't help, don't blame Yan Shenggong! "

Then the three of them looked at each other, flirted with each other, and seemed to want to say goodbye and leave.

Kong Na snorted coldly, and raised his voice three points: "House Butler, come in!"

At this time, the butler Hou Bo came in from the outside, holding a small black box in his hand.

He walked up to Kong Na and respectfully placed the black box on the table next to Kong Na.

Afterwards, he retreated silently.

After Hou Bo left the room, Kong Na pointed to the black box next to him and said, "Three adults, do you know what is inside?"

Seeing this, the three of them also looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering what Yan Shenggong was up to.

Even if Yan Shenggong wants to bribe, but such a small box, even if it is full of gold and silver treasures, how much can it hold?
And bribery at this time is absolutely impossible!
Although the three of them did not speak, their faces became more serious.

At such a critical moment, Kong Na took out this box, which means that what is contained in it must not be a simple thing!

Kong Na gently opened the box, took out a palm-sized booklet from it, and slowly flipped through it.

"Master Liu, you are the commander of the army. You usually like to wield knives and guns the most. The eldest son of Li Qiang's family from a wealthy Shandong family fell into Mr. Liu's sect. He learned martial arts from Mr. Liu, and learned a lot of etiquette from his master."

"Since then, the Li family's business has never been troubled by the skinny rascals... Everyone in Shandong rejoices in being able to send their children to Mr. Liu's family,

There is an endless stream of people asking for help, and the ceremony of apprenticeship has also increased accordingly. Now that Master Liu accepts a disciple, it must be more than three hundred..."

Commander Liu Xing's face darkened immediately, and he said angrily, "Yan Shenggong, what do you mean?!"

Kong Na smiled and said: "Don't worry, there are more here. In May last year, Mr. Liu saw a treasured knife in a pawn shop. He liked it very much. He bought it for a hundred guan.

Master Liu, this is a treasured general's sword from the Song Dynasty, and the pawnshop spent [-] guan to collect it..."

"In addition, I heard that Master Liu also took in a concubine. This woman is a famous Qinhuai prostitute who was redeemed by Wang's firm at a price of five thousand guan. bride price……"

Kong Na closed the booklet, looked at Liu Xing and said, "Master Liu, do you still need me to continue reading?

If I send the things recorded here to the censor of the Inspectorate who came to investigate the case, I don't know how Master Liu will feel? "

Liu Hang stared at Yan Shenggong, and said angrily: "Yan Shenggong, as the commander of the capital, eradicating rogues, punishing rogues, and protecting businessmen are originally my duties, and I have not broken the law!"

Yan Sheng Gong Kong Na said with a smile: "My lord, you are in charge of the punishment of the procuratorial office, so quickly explain to Master Liu, what is meant by taking stolen goods and not breaking the law in the laws of the Ming Dynasty."

Taking stolen goods without breaking the law refers to embezzling and accepting bribes, but not violating the prohibited clauses in the Ming Law, and not doing anything against the law.

For example, when the imperial court buys things, it doesn't matter which store they buy from. At this time, although they have collected other people's money in disguise, the things they just bought are the best in terms of price and quality.

Did not do anything harmful to the court and the people, this time is called corruption does not violate the law!
Liu Xing looked at Kong Na, his eyes were about to burst into flames, he didn't expect Yan Shenggong to be so despicable!

Seeing that Wang Ying didn't speak, Kong Na said, "There are many things that can't be weighed if they are not weighed. If they are weighed, they can't be beaten even if they weigh a thousand catties!"

The things he committed are big and small!
Accepting apprentices and paying homage to teachers is what it should be, and it's okay to spend money to marry a concubine.
But the key point is that once these things are on the line, if they are grabbed by others, it is corruption!

Kong Na turned his head to look at Wang Ying and Zhao Kang, and looked left and right, as if he was waiting for them to express their views.

But the two of them didn't say a word and remained silent.

Kong Na finally set his sights on Wang Ying, tapped the pamphlet and said, "Master Wang, you have been in charge of the criminal and prison proceedings in Shandong these years. If you want to get involved, there are too many avenues..."

"I've heard people say that once you're locked in a cell, you have to be checked up and down, otherwise you won't even be able to eat a good meal. You have no shoes or a quilt, and you can only endure the cold. I wonder if there is such a thing?"

These things are the unspoken rules in the prison, locked in a dark and damp cell, it's too easy to punish you!

Eat and sleep, be beaten lightly or severely, whether to be locked in the heinous prisoner's room, or to find a gentle single room, it all depends on the jailer!
So there is simply not too much trickery in it!
Wang Ying was unmoved, and said calmly: "Mr. Kong, I don't know what you said, and I can't answer it."

"Even if there is, it's because the hands and feet of the people below are not clean. What does this have to do with me!"

Kong Na smiled and said, "Master Wang, there are some things that cannot withstand investigation. Once they are investigated, at least Lord Wang must be charged with laxity. Then your future will be ruined..."

"and……"

Kong Na said meaningfully: "The Kong family has helped the lord arrest criminals many times, and also supported the lord's official duties. We have been together for a long time...

"Besides, my lords are serving the imperial court in Shandong. Whether it's building bridges and paving roads or implementing administrative orders, the Kong family has supported you lords, and led the wealthy gentry in Shandong to donate money and materials..."

"My lords, the Kong family and all of you are grasshoppers on the same rope. One prospers and the other loses. Please think twice about what to do!"

Wang Ying's face also darkened, but he didn't speak, but turned to look at Zhao Kang.

At this time, the strength of the three of them to separate is very weak. Only by huddling together can we keep warm, and our words have weight!

Zhao Kang, as the political envoy of Shandong, has the highest position, so how to make a decision in this chapter still needs him to make the decision.

Seeing the other party's behavior, Zhao Kang felt angry, "Yan Shenggong, I don't know how many evil things you have written about me in your booklet, you might as well read it out and listen!"

Seeing that the three of them were unmoved, Kong Na snorted coldly, turned to Zhao Kang and said, "Master Zhao, you like the Four Treasures of the Study, antique calligraphy and paintings the most, and you often search for them in Shandong, don't you? I really think it's because you have a good eye for picking up leaks." of?"

Zhao Kang stared, and said angrily, "So you're the one who caused the trouble!"

Faced with his anger, Kong Na's attitude softened by three points, "Lord Zhao calm down, I have no choice but to do it..."

Zhao Kang waved his hand impatiently: "Tell me, what exactly do you want!"

"Ugh……"

Kong Na sighed and said, "Lord Zhao's words are serious. I'm just in the name of Lord Yan Sheng, I have no power or power, and my words have no influence at all.

But fortunately, I got the gift from His Majesty, and I have been kind to the Kong family in many ways, and I also have some friends among the scholars..."

"And you also know that even if it is the fault of the Kong family, His Majesty will "forgive it leniently", so no matter what, the Kong family will be fine..."

"As long as the Kong family is still there, and I, Yan Shenggong, are still there, those who are not friends of the Kong family will not feel the support of the Kong family! Everyone in the world reads the books of sages and sages. At that time, they will not know the three adults. How can you still be an official?"

This is a blatant threat!

Relying on the Confucian family's right to speak among scholars and the support of scholars, it is very easy to discredit some officials and isolate them!
A person who is an official has no reputation, and he is also ostracized by the people below and around, which makes it impossible to implement the government order. It would be easy not to have his head chopped off by the court!

After the grace and power are combined, it's time to see the poor.

"I only have one request, and that is to invite the three of you to support the Kong family. If they want to investigate the case, your participation is always necessary. At that time, you can do whatever you want..."

Watching the three leave, a smug smile appeared on Kong Na's face.

Kong Yan had already stood behind him at some point, and asked worriedly, "Brother, will they help us?"

"Will do!"

Kong Na said very firmly: "People will make wise choices for their own future and destiny!"
