A certain person is the Heavenly Killer Li Gui.

Chapter 188

Qufu, Confucius Mansion.

Kong Duanyou, the 48th direct grandson of Confucius and Duke Yansheng, was slowly playing the eight sections of brocade in the courtyard.

As this person gets older, he will inevitably pay attention to his health.

For the most powerful people like them, nothing is more important than living longer.

If someone has a headache or a fever, the Zhao Guan family will have to send an imperial doctor to diagnose and treat him. Even if there is no disease, various health supplements will be given out like water.

Everyone in the family knows his living habits and would never bother him at such a time.

But today there was an exception.

A burst of hurried footsteps came in a hurry and stopped at the corner door of the courtyard.

The Confucian family was a family of poems and calligraphers, so they paid the most attention to the word "ritual" and had very strict rules. There were certain rules for walking, sitting, lying down, eating and dressing.

No matter how anxious the housekeeper was, he could only stand respectfully at the corner door and wait, not daring to say a word for fear of disturbing Duke Yan's practice and triggering family law.

Kong Duanyou ignored him and continued to concentrate on punching one move after another.

There was nothing in the world that could move him. Even though there was a rebellion a few days ago, even the city of Qufu was captured, but he never dared to step into his Kongfu residence.

After he played Baduanjin 12 times in total, he slowly stopped and stood still, his eyes slightly closed, and his mind restrained.

After another moment, he opened his eyes. The little maid next to him hurriedly came up, holding a thick white towel to wipe his sweat.

Kong Duanyou glanced at the housekeeper by the corner door and asked in a low voice:

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Which young man is causing trouble outside?"

The butler wiped his forehead with his sleeve, bowed nervously and said:

"Master, our house is surrounded by people."

Kong Duanyou didn't understand, looked at him strangely, and asked:

"who?"

"Dare you crowd around my Kong Mansion?"

"Have someone send a message to the county government and ask them to come and drive them away."

The butler's sleeves trembled slightly and his voice trembled.

"Master, I didn't explain clearly. It's not that our front door is surrounded, but our entire Kong family is surrounded."

Kong Duanyou's face froze, and he suddenly turned his head and asked:

"You mean, our big house, which covers an area of ​​more than 200 acres, has been surrounded?"

The housekeeper said anxiously:

"Not only that, even the 300-acre holy temple on the west side has also been surrounded by people."

"Based on the rough judgment of a villain, this must have at least tens of thousands of troops!"

"My lord, I'm afraid these people are coming with bad intentions!"

Kong Duanyou's throat twitched and his face turned a little pale.

He took a deep breath and asked:
"But that rebel bandit?"

The housekeeper nodded and said:

"The villain asked the sergeant guarding the gate. He was the Liangshan bandit!"

"Did they burn, kill and loot?" Kong Duanyou asked again.

"That's not true!" the butler replied, shaking his head.

Kong Duanyou relaxed a little, but then he realized that this might be more troublesome. He couldn't help but took a breath of cold air and shouted hurriedly:

"Quickly go and ask the clan leader to come here. Also, ask the second and third brothers to come together to discuss matters."

The butler bowed and agreed, turned around and was about to leave, when Kong Duanyou stopped him again.

"Wait a minute, have someone else prepare the carriages and horses, call the nursing home in the mansion, and be ready to escort me away at any time."

After the housekeeper agreed, he saw that his master had no other instructions, so he turned around and left, asking someone to send the notice, while he handled matters such as preparing the carriage and horses himself.

After all, if he ran for his life, he would definitely want to run with him.

After a while, those people were all invited.

When they arrived at the study, Kong Duanyou explained the situation, and everyone became nervous.

"Brother, do the Liangshan bandits want us to join them?"

Kong Duanyou sighed and said:

"The big tree attracts the wind, and our Kong family is the hope of scholars all over the world. Look at Zhu Wen, Li Cunmao, Shi Jingtang, Chai Rong, Zhao Kuangyin... these people have occupied Qufu, who has not come to recruit them?"

Everyone took a breath of cold air and said in surprise: "Aren't you going to relive the events of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms?"

Kong Duan was embarrassed and said:
"If that's the case, that's fine. We don't have to hesitate. We just follow the old rules."

"We can do it for the officials of the Later Liang, Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Zhou, and the Great Song Dynasty. Of course, the officials of the newly emerged Liangshan bandits can also do it."

"I just don't know whether this Liangshan bandit will rise and perish in the end."

"If I become his official today, and he is caught and killed tomorrow, it will not look good on our Kong family's face."

Kong Chuan, the patriarch of the Kong clan, was a mature and prudent man. He slightly twirled his beard and nodded in agreement:

"What Duanyou said is true."

"Even if I become his official, I can't agree easily, otherwise I will lose my status in vain."

"You can first let a few juniors go to his army to get some experience. If he really ascends the throne in the future, it will not be too late to consider accepting an official."

"If he doesn't live up to his expectations, then the younger generation will commit suicide secretly and remove their names from the clan."

Everyone nodded and expressed their kindness.

But when it came to who should be sent, these people pushed back one after another. No one was willing to let their children take this risk.

They worked here for a long time and finally finalized the list.

Kong Duanyou said again:
"As Duke Yan Sheng, it is inconvenient for me to stay in the mansion and meet the leader of the thief, so I took a few of my direct descendants to go south to avoid the limelight for a while. The clan leader will be solely responsible for this."

"If the thief is really ruthless, no matter what the conditions, the clan leader will delay his release, so the thief will not dare to take action."

Kong Chuan knew how powerful it was and immediately nodded in agreement.

Kong Duanyou called the housekeeper, got on the carriage, and left through the back door under the protection of the nurse.

Not long after he left, Kong Chuan heard chaotic footsteps outside, and someone had already broken in.

Kong Chuan's face darkened, feeling displeased, but full of confidence. He sat down on the master's chair in the living room, while the Kong brothers sat on either side, one on the left and the other on the right. Guards stood beside them, with equally gloomy faces, waiting. The thief comes in.

Before anyone arrives, the sound arrives first.

"Ri Xie Niang!"

“The Kong family’s house is so big!”

"If someone hadn't taken it with them, a certain family might have gotten lost!"

A burst of vicious voices came in from outside the door first, making the faces of Kong Chuan and others become more and more gloomy.

They hate this kind of uneducated roughnecks the most, and they don't show any courtesy at all.

When a scholar meets a soldier, he can't explain why.

I'm afraid the conditions will have to be lower for a while, otherwise if I offend this rough guy and be humiliated by him, it won't be worth it.

I saw a group of people rushing in at the corner door. The leader was a big black man, with muscles all over his body and a steel beard standing on his face. At first glance, he was a vicious thief.

The thief carried a bag of walnuts and ate them as he walked. The hard walnut shells broke into pieces when he pinched them, and he threw the eaten walnut shells all over the floor, which made Kong Chuan and others frown.

Kong Duancao's face sank and he shouted:

"This is the former residence of a saint. General, please show some respect!"

He deliberately made a show of authority, first to gain the upper hand, to show his integrity, and then to speak softly, giving the leader of the thieves all his dignity.

As long as the leader of the thieves is not stupid and everyone goes in both directions, everyone will be happy.

Unexpectedly, the thief opposite him rolled his eyes and cursed:
"Noisy!"

With a flick of the walnut in his hand, there was a crisp "pop" sound, and Kong Duancao's head exploded like a rotten watermelon.

　I checked the information and found out that whoever the Kong family really wanted to be the emperor would be their officials.

　　In the 22nd generation, he was an official of the Western Jin Dynasty.

　　In the 23rd generation, he was an official of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

　　In the 26th generation, he was an official of Emperor Wen of the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties.

　　The 27th and 28th generations were officials of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

　　In the 31st generation, he was an official of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

　　In the 32nd generation, he was an official in the Sui Dynasty.

　　33-42 generations, officials of the Tang Dynasty.

　　In the 43rd generation, he was an official in the Later Tang, Later Jin and Later Zhou dynasties.He is known as the "Ancestor of Zhongxing" by the descendants of the Kong family.

　　Later, the Song, Jin, Yuan, Ming, Qing, and Republic of China were followed, and then Chiang Kai-shek took them to Taiwan.

　　I haven’t checked the information for those not listed above, but I judge that they must have official positions.

　　Whether it's the Five Husbands and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, they all have official positions, which is really NB.
