Chapter 332 Tu Kong
Qufu.

The trial of Xing Shenggong's Mansion has already begun, and it was the imperial edict personally issued by the emperor's troops before heading south.

This was done directly without going through the cabinet, or even informing Nanjing officials, and we were ready to cut through the mess quickly.

All the civil and military personnel in the army, including Zhu Chengxun, understood the emperor's intention, but no one dared to stop it.

Because the emperor had previously issued an order to arrest and confiscate the entire Kong family in Qufu, and there were already signs of this.Moreover, Nanjing already had a Duke Yansheng, and even this Duke Yansheng did not actually receive much attention from the emperor.

So why does Qufu Beikong need to exist?
This is also the absolute authority that only the founding emperor has. He is arbitrary and can say exactly what he says.

The person who presided over the trial of the Kong family in Qufu was Xue Ju, the county magistrate from Fujian. Just because this guy dared to take over the Qufu county magistrate that had been passed down from generation to generation by the Kong family, you can tell that he was a ruthless person.

At least he is someone who is not afraid of Beizong Yanshenggong, let alone cares about the so-called Tulin reputation.

"Take Kong's evil slave Kong Fang!"

Magistrate Xue was in the chief seat, surrounded by soldiers and executioners with swords at the ready. A large number of Qufu people crowded their heads to watch.

After giving the order, within a few moments, a palace servant escorted a middle-aged man, who was tied up and his mouth was tightly gagged, onto the stage.

Before the trial even started, sharp-eyed onlookers recognized it: "It's a dog-legged party! It's a dog-legged party!"

"This is the guy who took our land by force!"

"He also beat Xiao Liuzi to death..."

"Master Qingtian, kill him, kill him quickly!"

"Kill him, kill him..."

Even before the trial, the crowd was already excited. This was just a little domestic slave in Xingshenggong Mansion.

It can be seen how the so-called descendant of the saint, Yan Shenggong, hides evil and evil.

The reason why the Southern Sect is slightly better is mainly because the Southern Sect has no power and is suppressed by the Northern Sect in every possible way, so it is naturally difficult to hate them.

Xue Ju's face did not change, and he motioned to the people next to him to read: "Kong Fang, formerly known as Wang San, is from Feixian County, Yizhou Prefecture. To avoid the war, he fled to Qufu. He was adopted as a domestic slave by Xingsheng Gongfu for two years. Within this period, more than [-] acres of farmland were seized, and a total of seven people were killed and injured..."

Regardless of the property, seven people were killed or injured, and Xiao Liuzi, who was mentioned by the people watching before, was one of them.

The reason is that Xiaoliuzi's father left him a few acres of reclaimed land. These acres of land are close to water sources and are good irrigated fields.

In this way, he was attracted by Kong Fang, who always liked to bully others.Not just this little six, there must be more than one family reclaiming the land near the water source, it must be jointly reclaimed by multiple people.

It's just that everyone else swallowed their anger and gave up their land to save their lives, but this little Liuzi was stubborn and refused to give it.

On the same day, Kong Fang took him to the street and severely injured him. By the time he was taken to his home by kind-hearted neighbors, he was already taking in too much air and not letting out too much.The old mother went to the official to avenge her son.

As a result, the Yamen dismissed him as a false accusation, and awarded all the few acres of his family's land to Kong Fang as compensation.

The mistress, Xiao Liuzi, died in the end. His mother was so grief-stricken that she hanged herself from a rafter, and the whole family was wiped out.

It sounds really miserable, but this is normal in Qufu County.

Xue Ju didn't even check carefully, he just sent people to ask around.Seven or eight similar cases can be obtained in one day, and even more extreme.

Any family in the county that has better paddy fields, or even less bad properties, may be coveted by the Yansheng family.

This was almost hard for Xue Ju to understand. The world was in turmoil, and the entire Shandong Province was almost empty, yet he still wanted to annex the land.

Historically, through hundreds of years of accumulation, Duke Yansheng's Mansion also successfully turned the entire Qufu County into tenants of his Kong family.

As for the original Qufu County Magistrate, he was also a genuine Kong family member, so naturally he had to go to Yanshenggong Mansion.

It must be said that it is ironic that the person who really abolished the hereditary county magistrate status of the Confucius family and restricted the power of Yanshenggong Mansion was actually the "Shiquan Old Man" Qianlong.

Xue Ju did not give Kong Fang any chance to argue and directly ordered: "Behead!"

"Puffy!"

In Kong Fang's extremely horrified eyes, the executioner chopped off the man's head with a single blow of his ghost-headed sword, and the head fell to the ground.

"Okay! Mr. Qingtian!"

The people watching looked at the falling heads and cheered.

He beheaded an evil domestic slave, and then kept arresting people on the stage.From a domestic slave to a collateral clan, to the head of Yanshenggong Mansion, even the Qufu County Magistrate could not let him go.

Some major cases with wide implications will call the living victims of the crime to the stage to complain, in order to achieve empathy with the people.The case also started with the invasion of property, and later ended with murder.Even committing adultery, robbery, and all kinds of evil.

Not only the people of Qufu, but also the same clan and clan were spared.

It can be said that in front of Xue Ju, the new county magistrate, and the people of Qufu, a wave of gangsters and gangsters was staged.

The trial of Duke Yansheng's Mansion lasted for two full days, and heads were chopped off batch after batch.The stands were stained black with blood and couldn't be washed away.

Duke Yansheng Kong Chuanduo and his son Kong Jiyi were the last ones to be killed, and they were also named by the emperor's decree.

Before they even took the stage, Kong Jiyi, who was frail and sick, had not yet fainted, but Kong Chuanduo was frightened and fainted first.Xue Ju very considerately called for a doctor to revive Kong Chuanduo, and then pulled him up on stage to continue beheading.

Kong Chuanfeng collapsed and cried: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"cut!"

Xue Ju didn't even blink an eyelid, and suddenly stretched out his hand to slap the gavel.

The executioner was an ordinary soldier in the south, and he was originally from ordinary people in the south.

What Yan Sheng Gong?It's nothing in their eyes.

"Puffy!"

Guitou Dao squirted down the wine, and Kong Chuanduo's cries suddenly stopped, and Da Hao's head rolled down the execution platform with a frightened expression.

The people watching were silent at first, and then suddenly burst into cheers.

"Good kill!"

"Master Qingtian, Master Qingtian!"

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

The aloof Yan Shenggong died like this, or died in his own hands.

Xue Ju felt as if some shackles were instantly released in his heart, but he couldn't tell.Once Yan Shenggong died, it was natural that he would be able to chop off the heads in the back with ease.

In this timeline, his son Kong Jiyi still failed to become Duke Yan, and he didn't even have time to die young.

When he was brought to the execution platform, his father's blood on the ground was not even washed away. Kong Jiyi was so frightened that he vomited and had diarrhea.It was really vomiting and diarrhea from the upper part, and diarrhea from the lower part, and it was the kind of diarrhea in which feces and urine flowed together.

The executioner was almost so disgusted that he vomited on the spot. He didn't even vomit when he killed someone, but he was almost nauseated.

Kong Jiyi was so frightened that his whole body was paralyzed and he could not stand upright. He could not stretch his neck at all. In the end, he had no choice but to be shot.

He was the luckiest person present and managed to keep the whole body.

After such a round of trials, the entire Yanshenggong Mansion, including the master and the slaves, was stunned to have most of their heads chopped off by Xue Ju.

The main line of Yanshenggong's northern sect was almost completely wiped out, while the side lines were slightly better off, although many of their slaves were also killed.But in the end, it was not nearly wiped out like the main line. It was still cut down in a reasonable and well-founded way, and there was no fault in it.

All the Kong family members whose heads were beheaded were guilty of heinous crimes. If they were not killed, the people would not be angry.

Xue Ju, the great master of Qingtian, had only been in office for two months before he killed a man with his head in Qufu County.

The people of Qufu all clapped their hands and praised him.

He killed so many people from the Kong family in Qufu, and even Yan Shenggong and his son were beheaded by him.

As soon as the news spreads, no matter what the purpose, Magistrate Xue will probably be tolerated by the world's scholars from now on.

It is useless for the emperor to publicly state that this is his decree. These so-called scholar scholars dare not resent the emperor, but they can resent you, the magistrate of Qufu County.

But it doesn't matter. In Xue Ju's eyes, career advancement is far more important than scholarly reputation.

How long will it take for you to be promoted if you are an official honestly and have good performance and qualifications?

Since the emperor likes cruel officials, then why not be a cruel official?

What kind of emperor there is, and what kind of courtiers there are.

Beikong was uprooted, and Xue Ju also began to formally manage politics in Qufu County.

Xue Ju's top priority is to first establish households and bring together the people.Not only the refugees, but also the people of Qufu County.

Qufu County said that they became tenants of the Kong family, which is true.

Because nearly [-]% of the people in Qufu County have the surname Kong, which means slave of the Kong family.The few remaining people whose surname is not Kong are all customers brought by the war.

This requires reorganizing the households, and all the people have to be forced to change their original surnames, otherwise it is easy to form clans with big surnames.

The remnants of the Yanshenggong Mansion who had done little or no evil were temporarily classified as sinners.The female relatives were all assigned to single men as wives to enrich the population.

This is a helpless move. In Shandong and Henan provinces, ten houses are empty.

Not only men, but even less so women.After all, when it comes to escaping, it is often more difficult for women to survive than for men. Even those rebels who gathered in the previous war basically had to escape. The number of women was pitiful.

This is fine for now, but there will definitely be various problems when it settles down later.

Zhu Yijiong still has to find a way to solve it.

The only advantage is that there is no shortage of farmland in Shandong and Henan, let alone good farmland.

Now it is nothing more than resuming production as soon as possible, rebuilding water conservancy, and reorganizing households to help the people.This is not only the case in Qufu County, but also in other state capitals.

 Qianlong denounced Qufu County Magistrate Kong Yu as nothing more than a county magistrate under his command, so in the name of impeachment, he completely abolished Kong's hereditary status as Qufu County Magistrate and replaced it with official dispatched by the central government.
