"There's no rush." Hong Chengchou waved his hand and turned to the Qufu County Magistrate who was following him, "Check the list to see if there are any of these people."
Duke Yan Sheng was stunned when he heard this.
I was confused by Hong Chengchou's words.
On the side, the Qufu County Magistrate took out the arrest list from his sleeve and checked it one by one with those around Yan Shenggong.
After checking, he closed the list and said to Hong Chengchou: "Four of the people on the list are here."
"Then what are you waiting for here? Arrest the people according to the names on the list!" Hong Chengchou said expressionlessly.
Hearing the word "arrest", Yan Shenggong's face darkened.
The Qufu County Magistrate raised his hand and pointed at the people in front of him one by one, and said: "He, him, and this person, arrest them all."
A group of people rushed up from behind and pounced on the few people pointed out by the Qufu County Magistrate.
Before the people on Yan Shenggong's side could react, they were arrested and taken back to the custody of the Qufu County Magistrate.
"What do you mean?" Yan Shenggong glared at Hong Chengchou and yelled angrily, "I kindly invited you to come to Yan Shenggong's house for a banquet, but you came to arrest me, Hong Hengjiu, you are so brave!"
Hong Chengchou looked straight at Duke Yan in front of him and said, "If you don't want others to know, don't do anything except yourself. I don't think anyone knows what Duke Yan has done better than you."
"That's nonsense. What can I do? I think it's just you seeking personal revenge!" Yan Shenggong said, staring at Hong Chengchou with a cold face.
Hearing this, Hong Chengchou smiled lightly and said: "There is no personal enmity between you and me. How can we say that this is revenge for personal gain? And I, Mr. Hong, never do anything for personal gain."
"I don't care what your reason is. It's not your turn to arrest me, a member of the Kong family." Yan Shenggong waved his sleeves and looked at Hong Chengchou with a cold face.
At this moment, a person quickly ran in from outside and quickly arrived in front of Yan Shenggong.
When the visitor saw so many people in the courtyard, he wanted to get closer to Yan Shenggong to talk, but was pushed away by Yan Shenggong.
"If you have anything to say, say it here!"
Yanshenggong, who was full of anger, spoke with anger.
Seeing this, the visitor had no choice but to say: "Something happened to me, the government people are arresting our people. Lao Wu from East Street and Kong San from West Hutong have been arrested, and the government people are still arresting people." .”
As soon as these words came out, Yan Shenggong's face turned even darker.
"Okay, very good, you Hong Hengjiu actually don't care about the face of a saint. When I saw you talking about how to face Shilin's censure, let's see if the tiger-character flag can protect you, an abandoned disciple of the Ming Dynasty, in the end." Yan Shenggong Swear loudly.
Facing the furious Duke Yan, Hong Chengchou said expressionlessly: "If you have anything to say, go back to the Yamen and tell me! Someone, take Duke Yan back."
Two people came up from behind Hong Chengchou and grabbed Yan Shenggong.
Seeing this, Duke Yan stepped back and shouted loudly: "Stop them."
Several servants of Duke Yan Sheng's Mansion in the courtyard stood in front of Duke Yan and confronted the captors.
At the same time, some servants in the mansion wanted to run outside the courtyard and call someone.
However, the courtyard gate was blocked by Hong Chengchou's people. It was impossible for the people inside to get out through the courtyard gate, so they ran to the side of the courtyard wall, trying to climb over the wall.
Hong Chengchou only glanced at the people who climbed over the wall and ignored them, but continued to order: "If a few more people go over and encounter resistance, they are allowed to be killed on the spot."
His face was already torn, and he didn't care if he killed a few more servants of Duke Yan Sheng's Mansion.
The people who came to arrest were all equipped with weapons and armor. When faced with the obstruction, they all drew out their weapons.
As for the servants of Duke Yan Shenggong who were standing in front of him, most of them were empty-handed. One or two of them had weapons in their hands, which were temporarily found sticks and other objects. They were incomparable to the people brought by Hong Chengchou.
When Yan Shenggong saw that Hong Chengchou was serious, he quickly retreated and wanted to retreat to the room behind him, using the room to delay time until people in Yan Shenggong's mansion came to rescue him.
However, Hong Chengchou didn't give him a chance to push him back.
As soon as several people with sharp blades stepped forward, the servants standing in front of Yan Shenggong kept retreating, not daring to fight with the people who came forward.
"Come on, come on, come on, stop them." Yan Shenggong shouted, ordering the servants of Yan Shenggong's mansion to stop those who wanted to arrest him.
As for how the servants would fight with their bare hands and those with sharp blades, he didn't consider it at all.
He only has one thought, and that is his own safety.
ah!
A servant of Duke Yan Sheng's Mansion with a wooden stick in his hand shouted, strode towards the person closest to him, and swung the stick to hit him.
However, the opponent directly cut off the stick with a knife, and then cut off his wrist holding the remaining half of the stick with a knife.
A scream came from the mouth of the servant of Yanshenggong Mansion.
The broken half of the wrist fell to the ground and rolled around, covered with dirt.
The other servants of Duke Yansheng were frightened by this scene.
Even after the people of Tiger Character Banner came to Qufu, life in Yan Sheng Gong's Mansion was not as easy as before, and no one dared to see blood in Yan Sheng Gong's Mansion.
They have always bullied others, but they have never been punished like this.
Many people are afraid, fearing that like the man who lost his hand, he will also lose a hand and become disabled, and end up living on the street.
They, the servants of Duke Yansheng's Mansion, know Duke Yansheng's Mansion best. Useless people will only be kicked out of the gate of Duke Yansheng's Mansion. Yanshenggong's Mansion will not raise a waste.
The servant with the wooden stick in his hand simply threw away the wooden stick in his hand, and the servant with empty hands also moved out of the way, exposing Yan Shenggong who was hiding behind him.
The servants of Duke Yan Sheng's Mansion were driven aside, and the two men brought by Hong Chengchou stepped forward and held down Duke Yan who was still trying to escape into the house.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Yan Sheng, I'm also following orders." Hong Chengchou looked at the detained Mr. Yan Shenggong and said, then waved his hand and said, "Take him away."
Four people, including Yan Shenggong, were escorted outside the courtyard.
As soon as he came out of the courtyard, he saw twenty or thirty servants of Duke Yan Sheng's Mansion gathered around him.
Most of these people held a wooden stick in their hands, and several of them held simple knives.
"Please trouble Duke Yan to let them back down and save some dignity for yourself." Hong Chengchou said to Duke Yan who was in custody.
Hearing this, Yan Shenggong snorted coldly and said: "This is Qufu, the place where my Kong family belongs. As long as you let me go, I can pretend that what happened today didn't happen."
"It seems you still don't understand. You don't even know who is arresting you." Hong Chengchou shook his head and sighed.
Even now, Yanshenggong still can't see clearly the form. No wonder he would do such a stupid thing as resisting the imperial court.
