Chapter 222 Confiscation of Confucian Mansion

It was just before dawn, and most people were lying in warm blankets.

In Yanshenggong's mansion, some servants have already got up to clean the courtyard and cook.

Kong Chengqing stayed up all night.

He is waiting for news from Jinan Wei.

According to the marching speed of the Jinan Guard, if there is no accident, the battle will be over last night. Why hasn't there been any news yet?
Could it be... something unexpected happened?
He came to the yard, looked at the white belly gradually emerging in the east, and thought in his heart, the weather is also strange, last night was clearly a clear night, but there was a faint sound of thunder...

Finally, there seemed to be the sound of horseshoes in the distance.

Kong Chengqing listened carefully, it seemed that there were quite a few people.

His tense nerves finally relaxed, as long as those few Jin Yiwei who didn't know what to do were killed, things would be easy.

If the court blames it, it will mobilize scholars from all over the world to jointly write a letter. Recently, Jin Yiwei's reputation has not been very good, and many people are willing to add insult to injury.

The sound of horseshoes was getting closer and closer, and in a blink of an eye they were already in front of them.

Then, someone started banging on the door.

Kong Chengqing immediately ordered: "Go and open the door!"

The two concierges went forward and just moved down the crossbeam on the gate. Before they had time to speak, the door was pushed open from the outside, and then a group of people in military uniform rushed in.

Kong Chengqing came up to meet him and said, "It's been done...huh?"

At this time, the sky was just a little bit dark, and he thought it was Cai Jinkui who had returned, but...it didn't look like it!

These people's faces were as heavy as water, and there was an invisible murderous aura exuding from their bodies, which immediately restrained everyone in the yard.

Only someone shouted: "The outside is well guarded, go to the back door a few more times, and not a single fly can fly out!"

Kong Chengqing was stunned. Finally, he saw clearly the attire of these people, it wasn't Jinan Wei!
"Stop, who are you? Why did you trespass on Yanshenggong's mansion?"

A man in a flying fish suit came forward, looked him up and down, and asked, "Who are you?"

"I am the direct son of Duke Yan Sheng, Kong Chengqing!"

"Oh!"

The other party nodded and said, "Jin Yiwei is doing business!"

"Jinyiwei?"

Kong Chengqing suddenly turned pale with shock, Jin Yiwei came to the door, could it be that Jinan Wei...

The other party didn't intend to pay attention to him at all, and continued to issue orders. A team of school captains rushed directly to the backyard, and there was a burst of women's screams.

Hearing this movement, Kong Chengqing immediately became angry, and shouted: "What are you doing, are you going to rebel?"

"This is Yansheng Gong's mansion! Is it a place where you can mess around?"

Clang!

With a steel knife resting on his neck, Kong Chengqing immediately shut up.

"Jin Yiwei is ordered to search Yansheng Gong's mansion, if there is any resistance, it will be shot to death!"

Kong Chengqing's face twitched, and he said: "Jin Yiwei can't be unreasonable. Don't you know where Yanshenggong's mansion is? I hope you can think clearly, opposing Yanshenggong's mansion is fighting against scholars in the world. !"

At this time, another person came in and said carelessly: "Zhu Qianshi, what are you talking about with him, just cut it off with a knife!"

Zhu Ji thought for a while and said, "Duke Rui is right!"

After finishing speaking, he swung his knife and chopped.

Kong Chengqing was stunned. He never expected that no one would want to talk nonsense to him.

At that moment, a warm current appeared between the legs, flowing down the trouser legs...

"No, no, I said, I said it all!"

Zhu Ji put the knife on his neck, and said coldly: "Anyway, Cai Jinkui from Jinan Wei has recruited, even if you don't say anything, the crime of treason by the Kong family will not be cleared!"

Hearing these words, Kong Chengqing's face turned ashen, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Cai Jinkui, Cai Jinkui, why did you recruit?
It's broken, it's broken, this guy must put all the blame on the Kong family in order to survive...

"I said, I said!"

Today, he has long since lost his mind, and only wants to push the problem to Cai Jinkui.

Zhu Ji sneered and said, "Let me warn you first, I don't have much patience, if you have a word of nonsense..."

As he spoke, Kong Chengqing yelled in terror, and said, "It's Cai Jinkui. He said Yan Shenggong, that is, my father was arrested and taken to the capital. His life and death are uncertain. We can't sit still and wait for death. We need to take the initiative..."

"Then tell me, why was your father arrested in the capital?"

"Because, because..."

Kong Chengqing swallowed his saliva, and said with lingering fear: "My father... my father does not support the emperor's new policies, especially the imperial examinations. In fact, this is not my father's fault. Scholars in the world do not support it. My Ming Dynasty established the country with the imperial examinations, and officials at all levels are the same. Elected through the imperial examination, it cannot be abolished!"

Zhu Ji said coldly: "I'm not in the mood to talk about national affairs with you. You can just tell me how many dirty things your Kong family has done to bully men and women and bring disaster to the village, and how did you rebel?"

"No... no rebellion, it's Cai Jinkui..."

puff!
The blade pierced the flesh, and blood gushed out.

Kong Chengqing was frightened out of his wits, and hurriedly said: "I called him here, I, I..."

"What did you call Jinan Wei for?"

"Come, come...to protect the Kong family..."

"Why does Jinan Wei listen to your orders?"

"Because...we are relatives-in-law, and Cai Jinkui is my brother-in-law."

"You also wrote that deceptive letter to the world?"

"Yes Yes……"

While Zhu Ji was interrogating, someone had already rushed into the inner courtyard and started to act.

In less than a stick of incense, everyone in the Kong family was brought under control, and a room-by-room search began.

Countless gold, silver and jewelry were collected and piled up in the yard, and a large number of antique calligraphy and paintings were copied from the study room, whose value was difficult to estimate for a while.

As the sky brightened, some common people around began to cast curious eyes on this side.

Seeing that there were officers and soldiers guarding them, they didn't dare to get too close, they just watched from afar.

The news spread to the county government. Since the magistrate has not been found yet, all the affairs of the county government are temporarily represented by Yan Ziru, the county magistrate.

When he heard that officers and soldiers raided Yanshenggong's mansion, his jaw almost dropped in shock, and he immediately summoned all the servants in the county government and hurried over.

Yan Ziru was shocked when he saw the heavily armed officers and soldiers standing at the gate of Yanshenggong's mansion.

what's the situation?
Didn't Jinanwei be transferred to deal with Jinyiwei? What's going on?
"Stop, Jin Yiwei is performing official duties, idlers are not allowed to enter!"

Yan Ziru strengthened his courage and said, "I am Yan Ziru, the Prime Minister of Qufu County. I don't know what Jin Yiwei's intention is behind this move?"

Zhu Ji came out to welcome him and asked, "Are you the governor of Qufu County?"

Yan Ziru cupped his hands and said, "I'm right here!"

"Come on, take it!"

Yan Ziru was shocked, and hurriedly said, "Excuse me, what mistake did I make?"
