A certain person is the Heavenly Killer Li Gui.

Chapter 186 Descendants of Saints
Seeing his brother's high-spirited look, Shi Jin was frightened. He hurriedly stepped forward to grab Li Gui and dissuaded him:

"Brother, don't make any hasty decisions!"

"We have killed many scholars before and have made Shilin angry."

"If we provoke Duke Yan Sheng's Mansion again now, I'm afraid those scholars who were barely suppressed will start a rebellion!"

Li Gui laughed loudly after hearing this.

"Da Lang, you place too high a value on the integrity of those scholars!"

"Whoever dares to stab someone will be killed by someone."

"If half of the scholars would rather die than surrender, I will be blinded!"

Shi Jin became even more panicked and complained repeatedly.

"Brother!"

"You don't really intend to kill half of the soldiers, do you?"

"The remaining half dare not say anything, and they will definitely find an opportunity to sneak away!"

Li Gui smiled coldly.

"How far can a group of sour scholars who are industrious and ignorant of grain and grain not even know how to ride a horse run?"

He reached out and patted Shi Jin on the shoulder, saying meaningfully:
"Da Lang, smart people are very aware of current affairs!"

"When all the moral ones are gone, all that's left will be cartilage."

"If they refuse to surrender, it must be because you have killed too few people."

After Li Gui finished speaking, he strode out.

Shi Jin couldn't hold him back and chased him out. Seeing him go out, get on his horse and head towards Yanzhou, he stamped his feet anxiously.

He is now ordered to garrison here and must not wander around. Otherwise, if the city is lost, the retreat of the brothers in front will be cut off.

After hesitating for a while, Shi Jin returned to the Yamen, took paper and pen, and wrote letters to the other brothers, explaining the matter and asking them to find ways to persuade Brother Li Gui to prevent a big mistake.

Watching the flying pigeon spread its wings and fly away, Shi Jin sighed and continued to immerse himself in the tedious official duties.

Just looking at the endless public affairs, Shi Jin knew very well that scholars are indispensable in this world.

But he said that Li Gui left the Guangji Army and returned directly to Liangshan, where Niu Wenzhong and others were waiting for him to come back and make decisions.

Seeing Li Gui return, Wang Jin, who was sitting here, first reported the situation in Liangshan.

Everything is going smoothly on the frontline.

Yunzhou, Jezhou, Puzhou, Shanzhou, Guangji Army, Xuzhou, Huaiyang Army, Yizhou, and Qingzhou have all fallen into the hands of Liangshan Army.

Such momentum naturally attracted countless heroes to invest.

Dozens of heroes, including Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, Shan Shiqi, Dong Cheng, Sheng Ben, Fang Shun, Shen An, Kou Fu, Shi Ding, Wu Cheng, etc., supplemented the military strength of Liangshan.

Otherwise, the ordinary soldiers are easy to expand, and there are not so many generals to guard various places.

If it hadn't been so time-consuming to travel and prepare military supplies, Liangshan's territory at this time would have expanded several times.

But even so, most of the entire Beijing East and West Road has returned to Liangshan.

The heroes in Liangshan all knew Li Gui's style, and in order to stabilize their territory, wherever they went, they tried their best to eliminate the local gentry and powerful people, recruit refugees, and distribute the land.

It's just that this kind of thing is easier said than done.

Putting aside the resistance of local powerful people, the implementation of policies requires specialized manpower, so progress is very slow.

There is no problem in letting Liangshan fight with these heroes who came to vote, but it is really a headache to deal with government affairs, and we must rely on those scholars.

In addition, these reckless heroes have a natural respect for literati, so when they heard that brother Li Gui was going to attack the Kong family, they all panicked.

Anyway, all the states in the rear have been occupied, and the local government and military forces are dead and surrendered. There is no longer much of a threat, so many people simply leave their manpower behind to guard the area, leaving their own troops behind and hurried back to try to dissuade them. Li Gui.

"Brother, this is not a joke!"

"A saint teaches all peoples, but his descendants cannot move!"

Li Gui snorted coldly and said disdainfully:

"A saint is a saint, and his descendants are his descendants." "The glory of a gentleman will be cut down in three generations!"

"How many generations has the Kong family been in?"

"You must be in your forties or fifties, right?"

"Over the past thousand years, there have been countless dead souls in the underground of Qufu. It is the fault of the Kong family."

"His family has enjoyed these blessings for many generations, and now it's time for retribution!"

Seeing that Li Gui insisted on going his own way, the most anxious people were Pei Xuan and other educated heroes.

"Brother, this Duke Yan is a model for the world. He has never done so many dirty things. Brother, don't talk nonsense."

"The land of the Confucius family was awarded to the Confucius family by emperors of all dynasties. They also received income from normal transactions, but they did not exploit the people. They should not be confused with ordinary gentry and powerful people."

Li Gui smiled and did not get angry.

"A certain family won't talk to you either."

"You have worshiped the Kong family as idols. You don't believe what someone says, so you let the facts educate you."

After he finished speaking, he called Niu Wenzhong over and asked him to tell everyone what he saw and heard.

Although Niu Wenzhong was hanging out in the green forest, he was still literate. He didn't envy or hate this scholar, and he knew very well what kind of place Confucius' house was for scholars.

If he hadn't personally led the troops to Qufu, I'm afraid he would have generally worshiped the descendants of Saint Kong.

He looked around with a grimace, and when he saw everyone's bright eyes, he just cried out in pain.

"Brother, why are you making things difficult for me?"

"What do you want me to say?"

Li Gui smiled unscrupulously.

"We are all brothers, what can't we say?"

"You can speak boldly, but at most they won't believe you. How can they beat you?"

Everyone also urged him, not believing that the descendants of the saint would do anything to ruin the reputation of their ancestors.

Niu Wenzhong took a deep breath and said softly:
"As long as someone in the Song Dynasty can't survive, he can go and join the army. If he stays in the army, he will always have something to eat."

"That Qufu...there are many forbidden troops in that Qufu."

Then the impatient hero shouted.

"What's this?"

"If you have anything to say, just say it. This hesitation is so unpleasant!"

Niu Wenzhong could only sigh and said truthfully:
"Almost most of the land in Qufu belongs to the Kong family, and all the people are tenants of the Kong family."

"We work hard every year, but we can only make ends meet. The rest of the food produced belongs to the Kong family."

“In Naqufu, there are mountain patrol households dedicated to patrolling the mountains for the Confucius family, pig households dedicated to raising pigs for the Kong family, music households dedicated to providing rituals and music for weddings and funerals, and transporting tables and chairs for the Kong family. A shoulder pole household with utensils, a lawn mower who cuts weeds in the garden for the Kong family, and other Jingtan households, paste households, wine households, vegetable households, broom households, firecracker households, walnut households, apricot households, and pear households. …”

"Let's put it this way, there are almost no free people in Qufu today, they are all slaves of the Kong family!"

"In Qufu, the Kong family is the sky. In other words, only the Kong family is human, and the rest are animals."

"If someone commits something, whether it's stealing, robbery, or murder, it's up to the Kong family to decide whether or not they should be sentenced and how they should be sentenced."

"Not to mention the county magistrate, even the magistrate of Yanzhou depends on the face of the Kong family. Anyone who dares to report the Kong family will be sent back to the Kong family to deal with it themselves."

"Moreover, there are many descendants of the Confucius family, but only the direct descendants can truly enjoy wealth. All the descendants of the collateral descendants live an extremely miserable life. Most of their land has been deprived of their land, and they have been reduced to tenant laborers, or even slaves."

"But the Kong family said that the men of the Kong family were not slaves and the women were not maids, so they ordered the branches to change their surnames."

"Both are descendants of saints, but they can't even keep their surnames. I don't know how many descendants of the Kong family hate Nayan Shenggong's lineage."

"When I entered Yanzhou, I didn't dare to provoke the Kong family. I only acted for heaven in other counties."

"Who would have thought that after the name of my little brother's public trial for the crimes of the gentry and the division of land among the landless poor spread, some of the descendants of the Confucius family took the initiative to come to the door and talk about many of the crimes of the Confucius family, just asking for justice."

After Niu Wenzhong finished speaking, he had a large box of signed and painted confessions brought in and placed in the gathering hall for everyone to view.
