I, Jiajing, join the Ming Emperor chat group

Chapter 83 The sun is shining, evil deeds cannot escape the law, Ling Chi Kong and the Kong family!
It was the first time that Qufu City was so lively.

Two prison cars galloped wantonly on the street, attracting a crowd of onlookers.

Although such scenes often appear in Qufu, it is different from before. The people on the prison van were all the people who offended the Kong family and the merchants who were forced to trade nearby.

But today, the people on the prison cart were the patriarch of the Kong family, Gong Yansheng Kong Yinzhi, and the elder of the Kong family, Kong Kefan.

And it is said that it is His Majesty's interrogation, so there is an endless stream of people coming and going to watch, it can be called a sea of ​​people.

Some of the onlookers were aggrieved and some were smiling, but most of them were ordinary people with worried eyes and indifferent expressions.

The accompanying soldiers of the Fubo Battalion had already fully controlled the place, and the second battalion of Shenwei and Yangwei had also lined up their soldiers. Even so, Luo An, the commander of Jinyiwei, was also very nervous.

"Your Majesty, there are many people in this place, if there are assassins trying to do something wrong, I will wait for death..."

Luo An spoke sincerely.

Although the emperor is able to make decisions for the people, it is something that everyone would like to see, but now it looks like... What if there are rebels plotting to do something wrong, secretly carrying firecrackers among the crowd?

Therefore, Luo An is very worried. His loyalty to Zhu Houcong can be said to be full now. Even if Zhu Houcong asked him to die immediately, he would have nothing to say, but if Zhu Houcong was assassinated, Luo An felt that he would be to blame even if he died!

"Luo Aiqing is worrying too much."

Compared to Luo An's nervousness, Zhu Houcong didn't show any worry at all.

For an emperor who cultivated immortality, Zhu Houcong had also tested it in private. Let alone the firecracker, even if the high-precision flintlock guns in the army were shot at him, he could resist it with spiritual energy. For some assassinations, Zhu Houcong dismissed them.

I am now, not to mention Xiang Yu's eternal bravery, but it is comparable to Guan Zhang, and I am definitely not a young man who can assassinate.

The scorching sun was in the sky, and there were crowds of people.

Zhu Houcong was sitting on the temporary high platform, and when he saw Zhu Houcong appearing, there was a burst of shouts of 'long live' around him.

Zhu Houcong nodded, and then said, "Declaration is a crime!"

After hearing Zhu Houcong's order, Luo An did not hesitate at all, and directly pulled Kong Yinzhi and Kong Kefan out of the prison car.

The two of them can be said to be bloody at the moment, and their faces are black and purple.

It is often seen in TV dramas that common people throw rotten vegetable leaves and eggs to prisoners who are paraded through the streets, but in reality, the food production is not high, how could such a thing happen?

Rotten vegetable leaves can be fed to livestock, and eggs are a luxury!
Therefore, what is used to beat the parade prisoners is naturally the most common and least valuable thing around, so there is no need to say more.

Luo An stood in front of the vegetable market and shouted loudly: "Kong Yinzhi is the Duke of Yan, a descendant of a sage! First he surrendered to the robbers and then he was a slave. With such integrity, what face is there to call him a descendant of a sage?"

The bald Kong Yinzhi is now swollen into a bun face, and he can't speak anything.

"Your Majesty's kindness is so great, you can put it aside for the time being."

And Luo An stood aside, cupped his hands in the direction of Zhu Houcong, and then said: "But apart from etiquette, the crimes you have committed are as numerous as the bamboos of the Southern Mountains, and the crimes are endless; you have broken the waves of the East Sea, and the crimes are endless! You persecuted the people, rebelled against human relations, used both soft and hard, threatened and lured, occupied a large number of farmland, forced the people to sell children, and entered the Erkong Mansion as slaves!"

"Today, I have a decree from His Majesty Jiajing that anyone who has been wronged by the Kong family can come on stage, beat this drum, and face the Kong family's crimes!"

Luo An pointed at the big drum standing in the vegetable market, and shouted loudly at the same time: "Your Majesty will give you an account of Kong's evil deeds over the years, Daming will give you an account, the world will give you an account, and the sage Kong's spirit in heaven will also give you an account!"

As soon as this sentence came out, the originally noisy market fell silent in an instant.

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, hesitation can be seen in the eyes, it seems that someone is eager to step forward, but due to various reasons, he dare not act.

Seeing this appearance, Zhu Houcong couldn't help but sigh.

In Qufu under the rule of Kong Sheng's family, the people no longer trust the government. Even if the emperor is here, they have to hesitate for a while.

Just as he was hesitating, a woman in shabby clothes suddenly rushed out of the crowd. Her speed was very fast, and she rushed in front of the big drum. It seemed that she had exhausted all her strength to beat the big drum!

"Boom!"

The big drum was like an alarm bell, echoing in everyone's ears, and then, the haggard woman bowed to Zhu Houcong on the high platform, weeping like rain, and her voice vibrated: "Your Majesty, the women of the people are wronged, and I hope that your majesty will make decisions for the women of the people!"

Seeing this, Zhu Houcong also stood up directly, walked down from the high platform, and said to the woman: "You can explain your grievances, I am here to make the decision for you!"

"The miner was originally from Yanzhou, and she came to Qufu with her husband's family to visit her relatives, but unexpectedly ran into the Kong Wangchen, a thief of the Kong family, in Qufu! After seeing the miner, this beast actually molested the miner in the street! The husband of the miner wanted to stop him, but was beaten by the beast Kong Wangchen in the street, causing serious injuries. Then he took the miner back to the mansion, and unexpectedly... together with the same clan..."

At this point, the woman was crying, but she still insisted: "Three days later, the Minnv was sent back, but the Minnv's husband was already dead! The Minnv went to find the magistrate of Qufu, but was beaten out with random sticks! She wanted to go to Yanzhou to sue the officials, but was stopped and raped by the thugs of the Confucian Mansion. Since then, she has been staying here for a long time, and is bullied by the minions of Confucius! I hope that Your Majesty will make decisions for the Minnv!"

Hearing the woman's words, Zhu Houcong instantly became angry!

"Where are the ministers of Kong Wang?!" Zhu Houcong scolded directly.

Upon hearing this sentence, the surrounding Kong family members looked at each other in blank dismay, at a loss.

It's as if... I've never heard of this person at all.

You look at me, I look at you, after a while, someone said weakly: "It seems to be the third son of the illegitimate son Kong Ningfang of the old sixteen family, what is his name Kong Wangchen..."

"Good, good, good."

Zhu Houcong sneered. Although he looked calm on the surface, he was extremely angry inside.

The son of an unknown illegitimate son of the Kong family, after he fell in love with the family members of the common people, he could forcefully snatch him back to the house and humiliate him wantonly!
This is the country under the rule of Ming Dynasty, and this is the descendant of Kong Zhongni? !
"Take out this Kong Wangchen, give it to me at the entrance of this vegetable market, and peel him!"

"Where's the county magistrate of Qufu? Drag it on and behead it for public display!"

Zhu Houcong's eyes were cold, and he scolded without hesitation.

And Luo An immediately took the order, and when he was about to take Jin Yiwei to look for it, unexpectedly, the local people shouted: "Come over here, the official, I know the mansion of Kong Wangchen!"

"Your Majesty, Caomin has a grievance to report! Caomin was originally a wealthy businessman from Jiaodong, and he came here to do business, but he was deceived, and all his family property was deceived by the Kong family..."

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for the son of the grass-roots! It's just that he didn't avoid Yan Shenggong's travel, and his leg was broken by Kong's servant!"

"Your Majesty, the little girl from the grassroots has attracted..."

"..."

One stone stirred up waves, and after the first unjust case was overturned, one after another the people came forward crying, and Zhu Houcong's face became more and more ugly.

He looked at Kong Yinzhi, then at Kong Kefan, and even more at the children of the Kong family.

"There is a case, and I will order Jin Yiwei to cut you off! If you are involved in the case, you will be sentenced to death! Whether you can survive to the end depends on your conscience, and what you have done to the people!"

Zhu Houcong's voice exploded in their ears like thunder.

There were even people whose trousers were soaked, and there were bursts of peeing.

Looking at this ugly state, Zhu Houcong looked at the portrait of Confucius hanging on the high platform, and couldn't help but shook his head, very disappointed.

"Sage Kong, if you could see the absurd behavior of your descendants now, what would you do?"
