Along the way, the bumps on the road made Kong Yinjing feel that his body was about to fall apart. The carriage finally arrived outside Ziyang City.
Because of the night spent on the road, it was almost noon the next day when we arrived outside Ziyang City.
"Master Six, the city gate is closed!" The carriage stopped a few hundred steps away from Ziyang City. The driver turned around and said into the carriage.
Hearing this, Kong Yinjing opened the curtain on one side of the carriage, stuck his head out, and looked towards the city gate.
Sure enough, the city gate was closed.
"Go over there and tell the people on the city wall that the Qufu Kong family's carriage has arrived and ask them to open the city gate." Kong Yinjing told the coachman outside the carriage, and then retracted his head into the carriage.
After receiving the order, the coachman got down from the carriage and walked towards the city gate with the whip in his hand.
When he approached the city gate, someone suddenly shouted from the top of the city: "Stop, if you go forward, you will release arrows."
The driver who was walking forward stopped, retracted his outgoing leg, and looked up towards the city.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the people of the Kong family walked sideways on the ground in Yanzhou.
Youdao was a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister. Even though he was just a driver driving a carriage, he was used to wearing Kong's fur and pretending to be a tiger, so he didn't pay any attention to the Qiuba guarding the city gate.
He looked dissatisfied and said to the guards on the top of the city: "Open the city gate quickly, we are from the Kong family in Qufu, and the person sitting in the carriage is our sixth master."
Guarding the city is a small flag.
When he heard that the visitor was from the Kong family in Qufu, he did not dare to delay and immediately went to find the general above, a member of the Qianhu Ren City Guards.
"Wang Qianhu is not well, there are people from outside the city." Xiao Qi followed the horse path and ran all the way to Wang Qianhu to report the news.
There was a wooden table and two long benches placed under the city wall. Wang Qianhu was sitting on the bench bragging with his subordinates around him. When he saw his subordinate Xiao Qi running over, his face sank and he said: "I'm so panicked." Why are you so unstable after following me for so many years?"
"People from the Qufu Kong family are here." Xiao Qi said hurriedly.
When Wang Qianhu heard this, he stood up from the bench and scolded: "Why didn't you tell me earlier when the Kong family's people from Qufu arrived? Open the city gate quickly and invite them in."
Xiaoqi hurriedly ran to the city gate.
"Wait a minute." Wang Qianhu didn't know what he thought of. He called to Xiao Qi who was leaving, and immediately asked, "How many people are here? Are you sure they are from the Kong family in Qufu?"
Xiao Qi said quickly: "Only one carriage came, and the driver who came to the city was the driver. I don't know how many people were in the carriage, but the driver said that Mr. Kong Liu was in the carriage."
Kong Yinjing was just a servant-like figure in front of Yan Shenggong Kong Yinzhi, but in other places, he was also a big shot that others couldn't even try to curry favor with.
"Is there anyone else following or hiding around?" Wang Qianhu asked again worriedly.
Xiao Qi shook his head and said: "The area outside the city is full of open space. It's impossible to hide people. If you really want someone to follow you, you can't hide from Xiao Qi's eyes."
Wang Qianhu thought for a while.
I felt that what the other party said was reasonable. I stood on the city wall and looked down. I could see what was going on outside the city but could not hide it from the eyes of the guards on the city. ….
"Open the city gate and invite people in." After confirming the safety outside the city, Wang Qianhu asked the little flag in front of him to open the city gate again.
Xiaoqi ran towards the city gate again.
This time Wang Qianhu did not stop him, and the city gate was quickly opened under Xiao Qi's arrangement.
Soon, Kong Yinjing entered Ziyang City in a carriage.
Wang Qianhu did not continue to sit on the bench, but led his people to guard inside the city gate to welcome Kong Yinjing's carriage into the city.
After the carriage entered the city, it stopped a few steps away from Wang Qianhu.
Then, the curtain on one side of the carriage was opened, and Kong Yinjing, who was sitting in the carriage, waved to him.
Wang Qianhu trotted forward, bowed and asked with a flattering look on his face: "Master Liu, what do you have to say?"
"
"I remember, weren't the city gates open at this time two days ago? Why aren't the city gates open today?" Kong Yinjing asked in a dissatisfied tone.
Wang Qianhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and explained: "A small group of thieves appeared in Ziyang territory, and the government ordered the city gate to be closed. To enter and exit the city gate, you must have a document stamped by the government's seal. "
"So I need documents from the government when I enter the city?" Kong Yinjing looked at Wang Qianhu outside the carriage.
After hearing this, Wang Qianhu smiled apologetically and said, "Others may have to leave the city to write paperwork. Master Liu, you only need to say a word to enter and exit the city gate, and I will open the city gate as soon as possible."
"Okay, assuming you can speak, let's continue to defend the city!" Kong Yinjing lowered the curtains and motioned to the coachman to get on the road.
The wheels rolled and the carriage went away little by little.
Xiaoqi, who was sent to open the city gate before, came to Wang Qianhu and said, "Just let people into the city like this. If the government office finds out, will they blame you, general?"
"How dare you stop Qufu Kong's carriage from entering the city?" Wang Qianhu glanced at the small flag beside him and cursed, "Get on top of the city wall. If the government is blamed, I will be the first to throw you away. Go out and take the blame.”
Xiao Qi had a bitter look on his face and said hurriedly: "Young man, let's go to the city wall."
With that said, he ran back to the city wall along the horse path, fearing that he would be convicted.
On the other side, Kong Yinjing arrived in a carriage outside the government office.
"Master Six, we are here." The carriage stopped and the driver said to the carriage, then picked up the low stool on the side and placed it under the carriage to be used as a footrest when getting off the carriage.
Kong Yinjing opened the curtain, bent down and walked out, looked sideways at the gate of the government office, and then got out of the carriage with the help of the coachman.
"You wait here, I'll go in alone." Kong Yinjing left the coachman behind and walked to the Yamen alone.
Perhaps due to the news of bandits appearing in Ziyang City, there were actually guards guarding the Yamen.
Kong Yinjing took a look at the guards in front of the government office, thinking that they should be Ren Chengwei.
Only the Ren Chengwei army in Ziyang City has some combat effectiveness.
"Stop, this is an important area of the government office. No one is allowed to come near." The guards outside the government office stopped Kong Yinjing who was approaching the government office.
The guards outside the Yamen had just arrived for less than a day and did not recognize Kong Yinjing.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing? A bunch of blind things. This is Mr. Kong Liu. How dare you stop me? I don't want to live anymore." Just when the guards stopped Kong Yinjing, he quickly ran out of the door. A government official.
These guards were scolded sternly.
When the guards heard that the person in front of them was Mr. Kong Liu, they were so frightened that they quickly backed away and did not dare to stop him.
The yamen servant came to Kong Yinjing's side in a few steps and said flatteringly: "Sixth Master, please don't get angry with these incompetent people. They are all a bunch of bastards who cannot stand on the stage."
"Take me to see Futai." Kong Yinjing didn't bother to argue with several Qiu Ba, and directly asked the yamen servant in front of him to lead him to the back yamen. .
