"Otherwise, we should go to Duke Yan Sheng. After all, he is also the clan leader of the Kong clan. He cannot ignore it at this time." A clan elder suggested.
The second elder of the Kong family rubbed his forehead with his hands and said, "From the very beginning, he did not agree with us using the method of attacking the county government to kill the third and fifth children. Do you think he will come forward at this time?"
"He is Duke Yan, and he was responsible for saving Lao San and Lao Wu."
"At worst, let's say a few soft words to him. We are all one family. He can't just watch the third and fifth sons being forced to death by the tiger thieves!"
Several clan elders on the table spoke one after another.
Seeing that things were failing, they all wanted to involve Yan Shenggong so that there would be one more person to share the pressure.
"Let's talk about this matter for a while. Yan Shenggong may not agree easily." The elder of the Kong clan was moved by the words of several other clan elders, but he knew that he wanted to bring Yan Shenggong to bear the responsibility of attacking the Yamen and Not that easy.
"Coming, coming, people are coming." A clan elder suddenly said outside the restaurant.
Several other clan elders all walked to the window and looked at the street below through the second-floor window.
At this time, on the street, the three elders and the fifth elders of the Kong family were being escorted forward by a group of soldiers from the Tiger Flag.
"If I had known that the third and fifth sons would leave from here, it would be better to ambush a group of people here and kidnap them as they pass by." A clan elder said.
"That's all bullshit!" Old An of the Kong clan rolled his eyes.
The people escorting Lao San and Lao Wu were all Tiger Flag soldiers with well-equipped armor. Not to mention that it was difficult to rob them, even if they were robbed, it would be difficult to escape from Qufu.
"Are we just going to watch the third and fifth elders being taken away?" A clan elder looked at the second clan elder and said, "We all know what the third and fifth elders did. Once they go to that public trial, they will definitely... Your reputation will be ruined."
They are all clan elders of the Kong clan. Even if they don't understand everything that the clan elders do, they still know a general idea.
People like them often bully ordinary people, but most of the time they let their family members come forward while they hide behind.
Once many things are revealed in a public trial, just a few servants may not be able to cover them up.
The elders of the second clan of the Kong clan stood in front of the window with gloomy expressions, watching the two clan elders on the street being escorted away by people with tiger-shaped flags, and then said: "Send someone to inform Duke Yansheng that the third and fourth elders Five can die, but the things they did between them cannot be undone."
In his mind, he had decided to give up on the captured elders of the three clans and the elders of the five clans.
Since we can't save people, we can only shut them up.
There are many things that are involved among the clan elders. Once two people can't keep their mouths shut, it is very likely that other people will be implicated as well.
Even he, Lao San and Lao Wu secretly did a lot of things that were not allowed to be known to outsiders.
"I'll go to Yan Shenggong in person, and I'm not afraid that he won't come forward." The elder You stood up and gave way to the window, turned around and walked towards the stairs.
"You can't go." The elders of the Kong family shouted to each other, "Just let the servants go. You can go to the public trial with me and see what the public trial of tiger thieves is all about."
He only knew a little bit about the public trial meeting from others, and had never experienced it himself. He was curious to know how powerful this public trial meeting was, which made Yan Shenggong Tan's expression change.
There is no shortage of servants brought by them in the restaurant.
Soon a servant of the clan elder ran out of the restaurant and went to Duke Yansheng's mansion to deliver a message.
All the elders of the Kong clan in the restaurant also left the restaurant, got on each family's sedan, and rushed all the way to the location of the public trial.
The news of the public trial meeting was notified several days in advance, and the location was already decided.
Otherwise, the high platform built would not have been destroyed.
When these clan elders arrived at the venue of the public trial, many people had already gathered here.
"Why are the tables still here if we don't have them demolished?" The elder of the second Kong clan looked at a servant next to him with a dissatisfied look on his face.
This person was left by him to monitor the situation here.
The servant hurriedly explained: "The built platform was demolished in the middle of the night. This man who is a tiger thief found a few tables and erected them temporarily."
"It's okay if the errand didn't go well this time. You don't have to stay in my house next time." Although the elders of the Kong clan were unhappy, they also knew that it was no wonder that the servants who stayed here were no wonder.
Who would have thought that in order to hold this public trial meeting, the people of Tiger Character Banner would use a few broken tables to temporarily build a simple high platform even if there was no high platform.
"Young man, I swear that next time, even if I risk my life, I will do the job assigned by the master." The servants on the side breathed a sigh of relief, but did not forget to express their loyalty to him.
】
In the surrounding streets and alleys, the sound of gongs could be heard faintly.
The purpose of ringing the gong is to let more people know about the public trial and participate in the public trial.
People continued to gather from all over the place for the public trial, and there were more and more people around.
"Several clan elders, Duke Yan Sheng has invited us."
Just when several clan elders were paying attention to the high platform of the public trial meeting, a man dressed as a servant came from behind.
The elders of the Kong clan who heard the voice turned around and saw that the boy in front of them was one of Duke Yan Shenggong's side. He asked directly: "Gong Yan Shenggong is here too? Where is he?"
"Come on, the clan elders and the young ones!" The young man took a few steps back and retreated out of the crowd.
The elders of the Kong clan followed with their men.
The boy quickly led them to a two-story wooden building.
"Come in, please, elders of the clan. Duke Yansheng is inside." The boy raised his hand to make an invitation gesture, and he stood on one side outside the door.
The two elders of the Kong clan raised their legs and stepped in, and the other clan elders filed in behind them.
The lobby on the first floor of the wooden building was empty except for a counter and a few tables. Then they went directly to the second floor along the wooden stairs on one side.
As soon as the elders of the Kong family came out of the stairs, they immediately saw Yan Shengzheng waiting here.
snort!
The elder of the Kong clan snorted and walked directly past Yan Shenggong without paying any attention to him.
"Second uncle, who offended you? Why do you look unhappy?" Princess Yansheng stepped forward to greet him.
The two elders of the Kong clan stopped, turned around and looked at Duke Yan Shenggong with a dark face and asked: "Let me ask you, if you didn't participate in the affairs of me and other clan elders before, did you already know that this would be the result now? "
"Second uncle, you have wronged me. I don't have front and rear eyesight. How could I know what didn't happen?" Yan Shenggong complained for himself.
The elders of the Kong clan stared at Yan Shenggong's face for a long time.
Nothing could be found on Yan Shenggong's face.
However, he also knew that Yi Yanshenggong's city wanted to hide it, and it was impossible for him to easily see it from his face.
