Qufu County, Shandong.

As a veritable country among the Ming Dynasty, Qufu has always been the holy place in the minds of scholars all over the world. It is called a holy place, but it is not as crowded as imagined, and people coming and going come one after another.

Qufu is very deserted, even too deserted.

Local officials will not come here for no reason, and the imperial officials will never go around here. This is like a city that has been forgotten by the world. Except for the people here who cultivate land and grow vegetables every day and worship the luxurious Yansheng Gong Mansion in the city, there are almost no large-scale activities here.

The central government encourages business. When the business registration is released again, it is thrown into the corner by Kong Xifan and ignores it. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce encourages business on the territory of Confucius? Are you crazy!

Qufu pretends to be blind, so how dare the Shandong Provincial Administration Commission ask? If Shandong doesn't ask, the court will naturally not know. After all, Qufu has no Jinyiwei Qianhu Office, let alone military guard office.

"Da da da da da."

With the rapid sound of horse hooves, this sacred land of scholars welcomed an uninvited group of guests: Zhu Jing, the King of Qi, with an angry face.

The servants guarding the gate were also strong, and more than a dozen people stopped Zhu Jing.

"Your Highness, this is Qufu, and it is forbidden to ride horses into the city."

"Fuck you!"

Zhu Jing was obviously in a state of anger. Seeing that several untouchables dared to stop him, he immediately drew out his sword and killed three people in one sword, which scared the group of servants to flee everywhere.

"Who the hell dares to stop me from riding a horse? Today I want to step on the Confucius Temple!"

Once he had taken out his arrogance of galloping on the battlefield in the north for many years, Zhu Jing ignored it. He whipped the horse and crossed the city gate and had to take the guard behind him to the Confucius Mansion.

"dismount!"

With a loud shout, he saw a meteor passing by, Zhu Jing turned his head in shock, but saw an arrow like thunder, piercing directly into the neck of his beloved horse.

The war horse whined and neighed, and its four legs were soft and it fell to the ground, and even Zhu Jing was overturned to the ground.

What a fast arrow.

Zhu Jing was sweating profusely. If the arrow came to him just now, I am afraid that the one who was shot through his neck now would be himself!

"Bastard, you are so brave!"

He got up from the ground with a dirt face. Zhu Jing saw a young man standing at the door of a wine shop not far away, yelling angrily, and trying to draw his sword and step forward. He suddenly saw dozens of soldiers with bows standing around him, with arrows catching and starry lights biting.

"No one is allowed to ride a horse except Shenggong and County Master in this Qufu city."

The young man was carrying a wine pot and drank a little drunk: "It shocked the sleep of ancestors of all generations. No matter who you are, you will die!"

"May I have your name?"

Zhu Jing patted the dust on his body and looked at the young man in front of him: "It's a pity to be a servant and a lackey with such good martial arts skills. Follow me, I will be a ten thousand generals."

"Fu Yu, a little man."

The young man raised his neck and drank two sips, but he was too lazy to look at Zhu Jing again.

"I want to see Conchfan."

Fu Yu then reached out to the county town and pointed: "The county master is in the county government, go, but the personal soldiers behind you cannot go."

Zhu Jing turned around and looked at it. After a while, four or five hundred armed men gathered around him.

In Qufu County, the Kong family really kept private troops.

"snort!"

Zhu Jing snorted angrily and threw the sword at Fu Yu with force, but the latter leaned back, grabbed the hilt of the sword, and inserted it on the ground.

"When His Highness the King of Qi comes back, the sword will be returned."

Zhu Jing's pupils tightened slightly, and just as Fu Yu's move was done, Zhu Jing knew in his heart that all three of them were not opponents of this young man.

Where did the monster come from?

With a heart full of horror and confusion, Zhu Jing explained his personal soldiers a few words, walked open his legs and honestly towards the county government.

The prince of the Ming Dynasty suffered humiliation in Qufu. If he had known this, Zhu Jing would have said nothing would have come.

What did he do here?

Of course it is to suppress the bandits.

The Kong family, who was raised by the bitch, raises bandits in Shandong!

The way of robbing, plundering, and occasionally playing guest roles as a wave of Japanese pirates looting several wealthy merchants in the sea. The Kong family really did everything.

If you don’t raise bandits, don’t rob, don’t rob, don’t plunder, burn and kill, where did the Yansheng Gong Mansion get the financial resources to build it to cover an area of ​​300 acres!

Since the sixth year of Hongwu, it has been extensively expanded in the tenth year of Hongwu. After so many years of expansion, a house has been built into an imperial palace! Carved beams and painted buildings are magnificent. If the Confucius Temple, Confucius Forest, and the entire three-kine land covers an area of ​​several times larger than the Nanjing Imperial Palace!

Where did the money come from?

Every year's annual festival, the Kong family held a huge event. Where did this money come from?

These things that hold the books of sages and criticize the skins of sages are just a group of complete wolves! They are still the kind that eats meat and does not spit bones.

The emperor ordered the suppression of bandits. Yang Wen repeatedly hit a wall on the land of Qilu, and this responsibility was thrown to Zhu Jing's head. Zhu Jing was very unwilling at that time. He knew that this was a thankless thing, but he was not afraid to refuse. Fortunately, not long after, Zhu Yunwen personally led the army to Yunnan, thinking that he could breathe a sigh of relief and discuss with the Kong family, but unexpectedly, the old Kong family was unwilling to give him Zhu Jing's face at all.

Should I make a fuss or a fuss, should I rob or rob?

Shandong, the hometown of the saint, turned out to be the most dangerous province in the Ming Dynasty. It is really a big deal.

Now, the emperor returned to the capital. Zhu Di wrote a letter to Zhu Jing in the name of his clan, warning Zhu Jing to solve the case as soon as possible. If he fails, he will return to Beijing to confess his guilt and submit his work, so he will be relieved. However, Zhu Jing's eyelids began to jump up violently.

I am afraid that I will not just be a slash of powers when I return to Beijing now.

The emperor is now overwhelming the world. At this critical moment, he goes back to pretend to be stupid. What if the emperor cuts himself off in anger?

People are afraid of death, and Zhu Jing is also afraid of it.

How many years have he passed? Zhu Jing was naturally ten thousand unwilling to do so, so he gritted his teeth and ran to Qufu. He wanted to find Kong Xifan and let the latter give him a brief explanation!

"This bandit, can you stop making trouble?"

In the county government, Zhu Jing slapped the case hatefully and stared at Kong Xifan with gritted teeth.

"The fourth brother sent me a letter to Gu, asking Gu to go to Nanjing to resign and receive his crime! Are you still going to wait for the emperor to give him a death edict?"

"Hasn't the emperor always taken good care of your relatives?"

Kong Xifan drank tea slowly, completely disagreed with Zhu Jing's anxiety: "What a panic? When the festival ends at the end of the year, I will let someone stop."

Who was standing behind the bandit nest in Shandong? The governor Sheng Ren knew, and King Zhu Jing of Qi also knew that everyone was clear at a certain level, so Kong Xifan had no intention of vain in front of Zhu Jing. He responded upright, which shows how fearless he was.

"End of the year?"

Zhu Jing's fist was white, and he paced back and forth in the hall. After a last pause, he turned around and pointed his hand at Kong Xifan. "I'm afraid that it won't be the end of the year. The emperor will take my head. Kong Xifan, I warn you that if you don't settle this matter for me within a month, I will lead my troops to Qufu and slaughter you all over the Confucius Mansion!"

Zhu Jing made a ruthless statement and took out a ruthless saying to fight with the Kong family to die together, trying to scare Kong Xifan.

"It depends on your three thousand Qi King Guards torture my Kong family?"

Kong Xifan's lips hung a little disdain: "Why don't you go and lead the troops now and see if you can get in?"

These words were like a basin of cold water, making Zhu Jing speechless.

It's not really easy to break the ball.

Who has figured out how many private troops there are in the Kong family in Qufu County?

If you can't fight into Qufu, then this matter will be really big!

At that time, what should the emperor do if he uses Zhu Jing's head alone and cannot calm the resentment of the scholars in the world? That is, the whole family will be killed!

"I've arranged it."

Seeing Zhu Jing changing his face, Kong Xifan still gave him a calm pill.

"In a few days, I will give you three thousand heads. You can take them to Nanjing to receive a reward, and it means that the bandits have been subsided."

Give me three thousand heads?

Zhu Jing's eyes suddenly became cold.

"Can you kill Liang?"

The Kong family's heart is too cruel. In order to protect these bandits and powerful bandits, they actually said they would cut out three thousand heads! Where did they come from? Who else can there be besides the people?

Zhu Jing was shocked and his whole body trembled, and a cold air rushed straight from the soles of his feet.

"How is that possible."

Kong Xifan smiled and said, "After all, I am a saint. How can I do anything to harm the people? Last year, did the imperial court captured a group of laborers from Liaodong? There were tens of thousands of them. Some of them were in our Shandong. Will this tributary of the canal that was not just opened to build a dike? The governor and the generals are all my people. Then, Is it enough to hide some of them and kill them?"

Use labor to pay for your life?

Zhu Jing felt better. Although he was not a good thing in his daily life and did a lot of bullying the people, he still had some obstacles in his heart, and he had to overcome them before he could do it.

"But the court has noted and detailed the number of laborers. If it doesn't match, how can I explain it?"

"Where will this dike be repaired in a short time?"

Kong Xifan looked calm and grinned.

"When spring comes next year, there will be heavy rain in the sea in Shandong. The spring tide will rise and the dam will burst. This will mean that this group of workers have been swept into the sea and drowned!"

Break the dam!

Zhu Jing immediately took a breath: "You are crazy! Once the dam breaks, the water will flood the country with thousands of miles of water, and many people will suffer!"

"Just dig a little bit, and at most you can't get some acres of land."

Kong Xifan's tone seemed to be saying a trivial matter: "This year, the flood in Suzhou and Hangzhou has flooded several counties, and no one died. It's just that the imperial court provided disaster relief. It doesn't cost you and me money. What do you feel sorry for?"

Zhu Jing immediately sat back on the chair, and pointed at Kong Xifan with his hands tremblingly: "The holiday incident is exposed, and you and I can't escape the punishment of being a knife and axe."

The flood in Suzhou and Hangzhou caused tens of thousands of people to be displaced. The imperial court spent much money and food to provide disaster relief, but this was a natural disaster and there was no way.

And this Kong Xifan actually wanted to concoct a man-made disaster for his own selfish interests!

Zhu Jing only regrets now that he was really blind at the beginning. He was so close to the Kong family. He shared the benefits with the Kong family, and was completely trying to get a tiger!
