Chapter 230 The New Deal is imminent(1/2)

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was shocked.

Xue Xuan stood up and asked, "What did you say?"

Not only him, but everyone was stunned.

During the jury, Zhu Qizhen was also shocked.

When the letters were searched from the Tatar tribe, it showed that there were some problems with Yan Sheng Gong.

However, I only thought that the Kong family was greedy for life and fearful of death, and they didn't care about it at that time, so they put it aside.

I didn't have much hope when I sent Belin to invite the Kong family in Quzhou, but I didn't expect that a huge secret would be revealed.

Yan Shenggong was granted by Emperor Taizu, how could he be a Mongolian...

Kong Yanjin was even more angry and almost jumped up and cursed: "What's your intention to frame me like this?"

After saying that, he immediately came to the hall and cried, "This person is ill-intentioned and slandered loyal and kind, fearing that the world will not be in chaos. Please make a decision!"

Xue Xuan frowned and asked, "Brother Kong Ming, you have to think clearly that if you can't come up with evidence, you will be accusing the Duke of the current dynasty. I will be punished for your rebellion!"

Kong Mingbo took a deep breath, then nodded to Belin.

Belin signaled to take out a stack of letters first.

"Please look, Lord Xue, this is a letter that the emperor led his troops to attack Mobei and the Khan of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Tuotuo Buhua, had no time to take him away."

Xue Xuan took the letter, opened it and looked shocked.

Immediately afterwards, he opened the others, and the more he looked, the more shocked he became, and looked at Kong Yanjin incredibly.

Kong Yanjin looked shocked, not knowing what was going on.

Xue Xuan's forehead was covered in sweat, and the matter was serious!

Judging from these letters alone, is it possible that the Yansheng Gong, whom he has always protected, really has an indescribable relationship with the Mongolians?

Otherwise, why don’t we refuse the Mongolians’ requests, but leave room for every sentence?

What should I do?

Kong Yanjin could not hold back and stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Xue, I don't know..."

"I want to ask you!"

Xue Xuan had a calm face and handed the letter over: "What should we explain these letters?"

Kong Yanjin saw the contents of the letter, his expression changed drastically and hurriedly said, "These, these... may be ancestors..."

While speaking, his body was sweating profusely, and his hands holding the letter were trembling a little.

"Ancestor...I, I don't know..."

"If you want to say that you don't know why the previous Yan Shenggong had an affair with the Mongolians, then, three of them were your own letters, how do you explain it?"

Kong Yanjin gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know these letters at all, it must be someone forged them!"

Xue Xuan was not stupid and said angrily: "You mean, someone forged your handwriting and wrote a letter, and then hid it in Yingchang City, Mobei thousands of miles away?"

"It must be...yes, it must be the Jinyiwei. They first made a fuss. Seeing that the Three Dharma Offices had turned over the confession, they found a way to frame the accusation. Lord Xue, don't be deceived by them!"

If you admit that you have correspondence with the Mongols, then the image of Yan Shenggong will collapse, and it will be difficult to make a comeback!

Xue Xuan had just witnessed the whole process of his two colleagues being dismissed. At this time, he was in a mess. Perhaps, was the justice he had always maintained wrong?

Now that I think about it, the methods of the Jinyiwei's actions were not despicable, or even openly.

The reason why Shilin Group is so vulnerable is that it has become so bad that it has become so bad.

Xue Xuan looked at Kong Mingbo and asked, "These letters alone cannot prove the identity of Yan Shenggong. Do you have any evidence to take it out together!"

He had already thought it through and tried his best to pull the blame, but found that he had been exploited and almost became an accomplice!

From now on, we only look at the evidence and do not speak mercilessly.

No matter what you are, even if Saint Kong crawled out of the coffin, as long as you can produce evidence, I will dare to judge!

Kong Mingbo took out another small cloth bag he carried with him and presented it to him.

"These are the genealogy, miscellaneous notes, diaries, etc. left by the ancestors of the Kong family. Please read it!"

Xue Xuan took it over. He has been studying since he was a child and has been dealing with books all his life. These books look very old at first glance. At least for some years, the possibility of forgery can be ruled out first.

Kong Mingbo stepped forward and opened the genealogy.

"During the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongols enthroned Kong as Yan Shenggong, and they were the ancestors of the Yan Shenggong lineage of Qufu today."

Kong Yanjin looked stern and said, "Duke Quan is the son of Duke Yuan Yong and the nephew of Duke Yuancuo. What's wrong with inheriting the throne of Duke Yansheng?"

"If it is true that the Duke of All Abbots will be able to succeed, but..."

Speaking of this, Kong Mingbo sighed and continued: "This Kong Zhiquan is a fake from a Mongolian!"

"You..." Kong Yanjin's face turned pale, but he tried to calm down and said, "It's so ridiculous!"

Kong Mingbo ignored him and continued, "This record is clearly written. In the fourth year of Shaoxi of Song Dynasty, Kong Yuan used his son Kong Zhiquan to die early at the age of six. Since he died young, who was the one who inherited the title?"

"No... impossible!"

Kong Yanjin's face began to turn red, and he roared: "You are confusing the public with ulterior motives!"

Xue Xuan looked carefully and found that this was a yellowed essay diary, which indeed recorded that Kong Zhiquan died young at the age of six.

Yes, since he died at the age of six, who was the one who inherited the title?

If it was really the Mongols who replaced the pillars, they might be able to explain what those letters were.

Kong Yanjin was already furious and said, "Mr. Xue, you can't believe his rumors. How could I have such a bizarre thing for generations? Kong Ming Bo forged evidence and had ulterior motives. He also asked Master Xue to take this person down and torture him strictly!"

Xue Xuan suddenly lost her mind and couldn't help but look at the jury.

Zhu Qizhen still didn't say anything, but his expression also showed a bit of incredibleness.

It seems that the emperor just learned the news.

Xue Xuan thought for a while and ordered: "Come on, take it!"

The left and right officers stepped forward, picked up the chains and walked towards Kong Mingbo.

Zhu Qizhen's face changed, but he still endured it and didn't say anything.

Beilin hurriedly said, "Mr. Xue, why did Mr. Kong commit crimes?"

Kong Yanjin finally breathed a sigh of relief and said coldly: "Isn't it enough to frame the loyal and kind?"

Xue Xuan suddenly said, "Who are you catching? I ask you to take down Yansheng Gong Kong Yanjin!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was surprised.

The servant let Kong Mingbo go and, as instructed, turned to take Kong Yanjin.

Kong Yanjin was shocked: "Mr. Xue, have you... made a mistake?"

Xue Xuan looked cold and said slowly: "Yan Shenggong, I'm sorry, the current evidence is very unfavorable to you. Before the Three Laws find out the whole story, you can only be temporarily detained!"

"Mr. Xue, this person is obviously framed deliberately. You can't believe him!"

"Enough!"

Xue Xuan threw the awkward tree hard: "This is the Three Laws. How can I judge the case? You don't need to point fingers! The person comes, take the person awaiting trial and withdraw!"

The sensational trial of the Three Sessions came to an end. Zhu Qizhen stood up and returned to the palace, and the others then left one after another.

However, the onlookers seemed to be unsatisfied. What is the result? Let me give you an accurate statement!

Xue Xuan has given up completely now. He doesn't want to cover up anyone anymore, he just wants to find out the truth.

So, Kong Mingbo was brought back to Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Justice and Censorate were convened to discuss the case together.

In addition, he also sent people to the Beizhen Fushi Office and asked the Jinyiwei to assist in handling the case.

This time, I sincerely asked the Jinyiwei for help. The previous hostility and prejudice had disappeared completely.

The Jinyiwei sent Zhu Ji to assist the Three Laws to handle the case.

According to the clues provided by Kong Mingbo, the letters found in Ying Changcheng, and some clues found from the Kong Mansion, the three confirmed each other, and it seemed to be very clear.

Next, we will interrogate the Kong family one by one.

Since the problem lies in Qufu, someone in the Kong family must know the truth.

Finally, Kong Chengqing was the first to admit it.

He could not escape death, but now he is tortured again, so he spoke first and explained what he knew as much.

With Kong Chengqing's testimony, I went to interrogate Kong Yanjin again, and finally, the truth of the matter emerged.

Back then, Kong Zhu flatly refused to enthronement. In order to fool the world, the Mongols asked a Mongolian to change his name to Kong Zhiquan, and inherited the title of the descendant of the Kong family.

Under the protection of the Yuan court, the Yan Shenggong of Qufu grew up and continued to scatter.

After Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, he did not know the secret hidden behind it. In the 17th year of Hongwu, he appointed Kong Ne as the first generation of Yanshenggong of the Ming Dynasty, the first rank of the official, and the head of the train ministers.

When the Mongols withdrew from Mobei, they still thought that one day they would be able to re-enter the Central Plains and restore the Yuan Dynasty, so they naturally thought of Yan Shenggong in Qufu.
