I Am the Grandson of the Second Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Earning 100 Million Taels at the Beginn

Chapter 114 Aim at the Kong Family and Fire!
"Patriarch, cough...almost all the people from all ethnic groups have arrived, your majesty, cough...all those who came to sacrifice are preparing cough cough...they are almost ready, cough cough..."

Kong Family Hall.

Accompanied by a group of gray-haired old men, a child listened to a middle-aged man's report.

The emperor wanted to offer sacrifices to the sage Confucius, and the Confucius family attached great importance to this matter.

Not only did the children of the family who were scattered in various places be called back, but the preparations for the sacrifice were also very comprehensive.

Everyone gathered together today to see how the preparations are going and whether there is anything to add.

"Presumptuous, cough cough... you say something, why do you always... cough cough..."

Before the middle-aged man finished his report, an old man slapped the table angrily and stood up, reprimanding the middle-aged man for speaking etiquette.

It's just that for some reason, he coughed several times after this short sentence of reprimand.

The child sitting at the top looked at him without saying a word, covered his mouth covertly, and coughed a few times.

"It's strange to say that since yesterday, many people in the clan have coughed, and several of them have fallen ill."

An old man who didn't cough saw many people coughing a few times covertly, and frowned suspiciously.

"Have you let the doctor see it?"

The child sitting at the head spoke.

"I've read it. The doctor said that it might be due to the cold weather recently. He prescribed a few medicines, but they didn't work."

The middle-aged man answered the child's question.

"Did the other people show the doctor?"

The child looked at the other coughing people.

One of the elderly men smiled slightly.

"The old man is also familiar with medical books. Cough cough... It's just a small illness. You can prepare some medicine and take it yourself. It will be fine in a few days."

After finishing speaking, he saw that he wanted to ask the child, "Okay, Patriarch, these are trivial matters. It is a major matter to receive the emperor to worship the saints. Don't mess with the priority."

The child glanced at him, lowered his head and said nothing.

Anyway, he is just a mascot, and he can't control anything, they can do whatever they like.

"The owner is not good."

Just when everyone was about to continue their discussion, a young scribe rushed in.

"Presumptuous, trespassing in the main hall, and knowing the family rules, don't let the old man get out."

Before the young scribe could speak, an old man jumped up angrily.

"Fourth Uncle, something serious happened. A corpse was found in the warehouse of the inner courtyard. The sixth uncle said that the person might have died of plague."

The young man plopped down on his knees in fear, and said anxiously to the old man.

"What, corpse? Plague!"

Everyone in the room stood up in shock, and one of them hurried forward regardless of his appearance, grabbed the young man by the collar, and asked angrily:

"What did you say, there is a plague in the mansion!"

The young man nodded vigorously with a pale face, and said with fear on his face: "The doctor in the mansion said that there are so many people coughing in the mansion in the past two days, it is likely that they are infected with plague."

Rumble!
As soon as this remark came out, thunder exploded above everyone's heads.

Those who had cough symptoms just now were all stunned, their faces pale and bloodless.

"Hurry up... Let those who don't have a cough go as fast as possible, the farther the better, it's too late... it's too late!"

The hall was quiet for a while, and an old man suddenly came back to his senses and let out a loud roar anxiously.

Everyone was awakened by the roar, and then ran out of the door without a trace.

The news of the plague appearing in the mansion quickly spread among the Kong family.

Then, no matter whether they were sick or not, they were quickly packing up their things and preparing to run.

As for Confucius, who cares, escape is the most important thing.

But they wanted to run away, Zhu Zhangui would not let them do so.

The outbreak of the disease in the Confucius mansion has not been spread to the outside world, and the Kong family is still packing their things and preparing to run away.

A large number of soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, packed tightly and armed with weapons, surrounded the Confucian Mansion tightly.

It's interesting enough to say.

In order to show its lofty status and prevent outsiders from disturbing Confucius, the Confucian Mansion actually built a city wall outside the Confucian Mansion.

Originally, this circle of city walls was meant to keep outsiders out, but it was unexpected that the circle of city walls now became a prison for the Kong family.

"Back... Don't come out, all back to me, His Royal Highness has ordered that anyone who steps out of the city gate, regardless of their status, will be killed."

The first group of Confucian family members who were about to flee for their lives found that the gate of the city was tightly blocked by roadblocks as soon as they arrived at the exit of the city.

"What are you doing? We belong to the Kong family, and...who allowed you to come here? Can you bear the burden of disturbing the peace of the saint?"

The Kong family, who were about to run away, looked at the soldiers who were tightly wrapped behind the horse and blocked the door, and cursed angrily.

"That's right, you stinky mud legs are still moving things away quickly, blocking my way, be careful that I will write to the imperial court, and let the imperial court chop off your dog's head."

"Get out of here, Mr. Yang of the Ministry of War is a good friend. If you dare to block my way, be careful of your life."

In order to escape for their lives, the Kong family no longer cared about their usual dignified demeanor, and all of them were so anxious that their foreheads were sweating, and they pushed hard to reject the horse.

"Raise your gun and aim!"

Seeing the Kong family who were about to attack the checkpoint, an officer leading soldiers to block the door drew his sword and gave the order without hesitation.

brush!
The soldiers raised their bayonet rifles and aimed at the Kong family who were about to rush over.

This side suddenly raised the gun, which made some Kong family members who were planning to turn over Juma pause for a moment.

They have heard of this thing, it can kill people hundreds of steps away.

Some time ago, the victims of the disaster in Jinan Prefecture were killed by this thing.

For a moment, everyone hesitated, wondering whether they should continue.

"Don't be afraid, everyone. We are the disciples of saints. I don't believe that these stinky bastards dare to hurt us."

Seeing that everyone flinched, one of the middle-aged people raised his hand and shouted.

The Confucians who stopped came back to their senses.

Yes!

We are the descendants of the sages, and it is too late for the people of the world to respect us, so how dare they harm us.

Even if these guys have no brains, the grandson who leads them will not do such a stupid thing.

Thinking of this, everyone instantly became confident, those who pushed the horse continued to push the horse, and those who were nimble jumped over directly, ready to help from the outside.

The officer with the knife, looking at the Kong family who refused to listen to the advice, gritted his teeth and said loudly:

"The plague has broken out here. In order to prevent the spread, everyone is not allowed to leave. Let me go back."

The Kong family, who were busy moving the roadblock, didn't pay any attention to him at all, they just kept their heads down and moved the horse.

"Damn, I really don't cry without seeing the coffin."

The officer cursed in a low voice, raised his hand and gave an order to the soldiers in the first row: "Fire a warning shot!"

"Bang bang bang bang..."

The sudden gunshot startled the Kong family who were moving things.

The few timid ones even lay down on the ground, trembling with their heads in their arms.

But after a while, seeing that no one was injured, they were full of confidence in an instant.

One of them sneered even more: "I'll just say it, they don't dare to hurt us, everyone work hard, move this thing away quickly, leave here first and then talk about it."

"Yes, yes, they dare not hurt us, but we are protected by saints."

"Haha, let's not talk about them, even if the great-grandson came, he wouldn't dare to touch a hair of us. We are the descendants of the sages. If he touches us, we will be infamous forever!"

A sound of sarcasm and ridicule came to the ears, and the officer's face was ashen.

Seeing the barricades that were about to be removed, and more and more Kong family members rushing over from behind the gate, the officer gritted his teeth and ordered in a cold voice:

"Second row, raise your gun and aim!"

brush!
The second row of soldiers standing in front raised their guns and aimed at the Kong family who were moving roadblocks and rejecting horses.

"Calm down, calm down, calm down!"

Just when the officer was about to give the order to shoot, Lu Xin hurried over lying on his horse and stopped in front of the soldiers.

"Lord Lu, you know very well what happened inside. If they come out, the whole of Qufu and even the whole of Shandong will be ruined."

The officer looked at Lu Xin who was standing in front of him, and shouted angrily.

"I know, I know, wait a moment and let me persuade them!"

Lu Xin repeatedly bowed to the officer.

"You... oh!"

The officer looked at Lu Xin who was bowing again and again, and wanted to say something, but in the end he sighed and waved his hands.

"Hurry up, if they don't listen to the persuasion, or run out, then don't blame the officials for being ruthless."

"Thank you, thank you!"

Seeing that the officer agreed, Lu Xin bowed and thanked him.

Then he turned around and shouted to the Kong family who were still moving the roadblock: "Everyone, this official is Lu Xin, the chief envoy of Shandong Province. There must be many of you who know this official. Everyone, can you listen to my advice?" , you go back and wait first, the imperial court will definitely do everything possible to save you."

As he spoke, Lu Xin cupped his fists and bowed deeply to the Kong family.

It's a pity that the Kong family didn't pay any attention to him at all, and didn't even look at him.

When Lu Xin saw this, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, he lifted up his robe and knelt down towards the Kong family.

"Everyone... I beg you, for the people of Qufu, for the people of Shandong, and for the people of Daming, please stay in the city and don't come out."

"Once you come out and spread the plague, the whole of Qufu and Shandong will be over."

This time, the Kong family finally responded.

One of them looked at Lu Xin who was begging on his knees, and said with disdain: "Heh, Lu Xin, don't use the truth to suppress us. What do the people of the world care about us? Is my status as a descendant of a saint comparable to those despicable people?"

"That is, if you stay here, you will die. If you go out, there is still a way to survive. As for whether the plague will spread, what does it matter to me? Even if it spreads, so what? Those untouchables died of illness. It is their fate, no wonder Let's go up."

"That's right, how noble we are, how can we sacrifice ourselves for those despicable people, I really don't know what it means!"

Hearing the words from the opposite side, Lu Xin's face paled for a while.

He didn't expect that the Kong family, who are the spiritual pillars of the world's scholars, would be so unbearable.

In such a precarious situation, for the sake of selfishness, he disregarded the life and death of the common people, and even talked about the common people with contemptuous words
Is this really the Confucian holy land, the selfless Confucius family?
"Haha, finally got it open, everyone hurry up."

Just as Lu Xin was staring blankly at the city wall of the Confucian Mansion, a surprise shout suddenly came from the opposite side.

Lu Xin raised his eyes and saw that the Kong family pushed the roadblock to refuse the horse, and they were happily climbing on the horse or carriage, carrying their luggage and going out.

"Master Lu, let's go! These people don't care about the lives of the people at all. No matter how much you say, even if you die here today, they will not listen to persuade you to go back."

The officer stepped forward and pulled Lu Xin, who was kneeling on the ground in a daze, to the back.

Then, with a cold face, he raised his knife, and coldly ordered to the soldier who raised his gun again, "Fire!"

The order was given, and the soldier pulled the trigger forcefully with resentment in his eyes.

They all heard what they said just now.

They did not expect that the descendants of Confucius, whom they revered in their hearts, would be so unbearable.

For his own selfishness, he didn't even care about the life and death of the people at all.

Sure enough, as His Highness said, some people are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but they are full of male thieves and female prostitutes in their stomachs.

The Kong family is like this.

Such a person is in vain to be a descendant of a saint, it's really fucking disgusting.

The hammer fell, sparking and igniting the gunpowder.

With the sound of gunshots, the Kong family who were rushing out in the distance were instantly knocked down.
