The elders of the Kong family walked out of the county government hall one by one with their heads in despair.
"Do we really want to do what they say? Give all the land at home to those mud-legged people?" the elder of the clan said to the others around him.
The clay legs he spoke of contained some of the same descendants of Confucius.
However, in his eyes, except for the surname Kong, these people were no different from other tenants.
"Then what do you want to do?" The elder of the Kong clan looked at him and asked.
The clan elder who spoke earlier choked up.
"I know you are not willing to give in." The elders of the Kong family glanced around at the few people around them and said immediately, "Now that people are under the eaves, we might as well do as he said and divide the fields temporarily. There may not be a chance to get Tian Zai back in the future."
"Do you have a way to get the divided fields back? If you have any way, you can't hide it from everyone."
Obediently, several elders of the clan looked at the elder of the second clan of the Kong clan.
The elder of the second Kong clan shook his head slightly and said, "It's hard to say now. You will naturally know when the matter is settled. For now, it is still the same sentence. I am a slave and a fish. For the time being, I will follow the other party's wishes."
He did have an idea in his mind, but he didn't want to tell these people right now.
"What a good idea it is, it needs to be kept secret!"
When everyone saw that the other party really had a solution, some people couldn't help but ask.
The two elders of the Kong clan waved their hands and said, "Don't ask, I won't hide it from you when I can tell you."
Seeing that he didn't say anything, everyone gave up the idea of asking further.
However, several clan elders decided to go to him privately to inquire about it after returning.
"Let me go, let me go, I am the elder of the Kong clan, you have no right to arrest me!"
Just as a few clan elders who had just walked out of the lobby were walking out, someone yelled from the front.
"Why does the voice sound familiar to me?" A clan elder said at the side.
"It sounds a little familiar to me. It seems to be the third child's voice."
A clan elder next to him frowned.
"Let's go over and have a look!" The elder of the Kong clan called everyone to walk in the direction of the sound.
As several people walked through a door, they immediately saw two people escorted by tiger-character flag soldiers walking in from the outside.
"Lao San, why are you like this? And Lao Wu, didn't you go back?"
The elders of the Kong clan recognized the identities of the two people who were being escorted over at a glance.
The elders of the Kong clan who were escorted to the yamen saw the elders of the Kong clan coming from the direction of the yamen lobby and shouted hurriedly: "Save us quickly, the tiger thieves arrested us for no reason."
When the elders of the Kong clan on the side heard this, they immediately understood that these two people had been captured from home by people from the Tiger Flag.
He walked a few steps to the Tiger Flag soldiers escorting the two men and said, "Did you misunderstand? These two people are members of my Kong family. I think you have arrested the wrong person. I just said With you, General Yu."
Fearing that the escort would not let him go, he moved out of Yuhuai.
"Get out of the way, don't delay us from bringing people in." The escorting soldiers said expressionlessly to the elders of the two Kong clans in front of them. ….
The elder of the Kong family said: "I am a guest invited by your General Yu, and they are also guests invited by your General. I think there must be some misunderstanding, so why not let them go first, and I will go with you to see General Yu. I think General Yu will agree to your release."
"Please get out of the way immediately." The escorting soldier's voice became colder, and he took a step back and picked up the gun in his hand.
Seeing this, the two elders of the Kong clan knew that it was probably impossible for the tiger-character flag men to release the people, so they immediately moved aside and let the tiger-character flag soldiers escort the Kong clan elders over. .
The tiger-character flag soldier escorting the Kong clan elder did not go toward the lobby, but toward the prison on one side.
"Are we just going to watch the third and fifth children being taken away by them?" An elder from the clan felt heartbroken as he watched the people being taken away.
You said unwillingly.
The two elders of the Kong clan watched the elder Kong clan being taken away disappear from sight. He said, "You go back first, and I'll go see the one named Yu."
Wanting to rescue the two clan elders who were taken away, he knew that it was useless to look for those escorting the Tiger Flag. He could only find people who could talk to him.
The elders of the Kong family walked towards the Yamen lobby.
The elders of the Kong clan who stayed behind looked at each other, and several people looked at each other. In the end, they all chose to chase the elders of the second Kong clan who left.
Whether they like it or not, they have to intercede for the two captured clan elders, because the tiger-character flag is their common enemy.
When I returned to the lobby, I found that there was no one in the lobby.
The group of people walked towards the back office again.
However, before they had gone far, they were stopped by the Tiger Flag soldiers guarding nearby.
"I want to see you, General Yu. Please go in and report." The elder of the Kong clan said in a very polite tone to the guard with the Tiger Flag in front of him.
This was also the first time in these years that he was so harmonious and pleasant to the ordinary Qiu Ba.
"Guys, please go back, our deputy camp is not seeing any visitors at the moment." The guard said in an indifferent tone.
The faces of the old Kong family members became a little ugly.
"We are from the Kong family, and we have come here specifically to see you, General Yu. If you go in and report, it will be over. Can you, a little guard, make the decision on this matter?" You Clan Elder said to the guard in front of him with a look of displeasure on his face. .
The elders of the Kong family suppressed their discomfort and patiently said to the guard: "We really have something to do when we see General Yu. Regardless of whether General Yu sees us or not, you'd better go in and report it."
In the past, there was no place he could not go to in Qufu County Government, and no one dared to stop him. But facing these people from the Tiger Flag, he had scruples and did not dare to force his way in like before.
"The deputy battalion is seeing no visitors, so please come back!" The guard once again refused to let them in to report.
At this time, how could the two elders of the Kong clan not understand that the other party did not want to see them, the elders of the Kong clan.
But he knew he couldn't just go back.
Otherwise, the Tiger Character Banner will arrest two clan elders this time, and two more clan elders next time. If they are captured several times, none of them will be able to escape, and they will all become prisoners of the Tiger Character Banner.
"General Yu, General Yu!"
Unable to see Yu Huai who was hiding, the elders of the Kong clan chose to shout loudly here, hoping to call out Yu Huai.
He shouted several times, but there was no movement inside.
"I'm afraid this guy named Yu is determined to avoid us!"
Many clan elders saw Yu Huai's plan.
The two elders of the Kong clan also knew that the other party was avoiding them, but he had no better way and could only shout over and over again.
No matter how many times I shouted, there was finally movement in the room inside.
The door opened and a person walked out. .
