"This is Dingxing Lugan Yue Gong, and this is Huixian County Sun Zhongyuan Gong. They are both masters. Zhongheng will definitely make progress if he asks for more advice in the future."
Returning to the Fourth Regiment's station outside the city, Liu Zongzhou happily introduced the two strange old men to Zuo Mengeng.
After getting to know Zuo Menggeng, I realized that these two people were actually the great scholar Lu Shanji and Sun Qifeng.
These two people appeared in Shandong because they received a letter from Xue Fengzuo.
It turned out that Xue Fengzuo had studied Confucianism with the two of them and had the status of master and apprentice.
After Xue Fengzuo came to Linqing, he felt like a fish in water and completely fell in love with it. The two teachers were having trouble with their ideas, so they extended an invitation.
Lu Shanji had a close relationship with Sun Chengzong. When Sun Chengzong was in charge of Liaodong, he also had many plans.
But later, he was repeatedly framed by traitors and his official career was not going smoothly. Lu Shanji simply gave up his official career and devoted himself to studying knowledge.
Although this old man is a Confucian, he has a chivalrous heart.
During the Tianqi years, the eunuchs repeatedly killed loyal people, so he repeatedly donated money and efforts to save people. After Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and others were imprisoned, he took in Wei Xuezhen, the son of Wei Dazhong, and Zuo Guangming, the younger brother of Zuo Guangdou.
At the same time, he also planned with Sun Qifeng and went to Liaodong with letters to ask Sun Chengzong for help.
Later Zhou Shunchang was imprisoned, and the old man raised gold and silver to rescue him. The eunuchs came to threaten him, but he was not afraid.
In the first year of Chongzhen's reign, he originally came back, but after seeing that the government was still in a mess, he immediately resigned and returned home, never to serve in an official position again.
And the changes that had just happened in Jisi made Lu Shanji even more angry.
It turns out that when the Later Jin soldiers plundered Gu'an, Lu Shanji took the lead in raising money and soldiers and organized a group of thousands of local warriors to protect Sangzi.
This is understandable. After all, if you want to defend the city, how can you do it without money, food, troops and horses?
But who would have thought that afterwards the censor would accuse him of evil intentions.
Although Chongzhen didn't listen, he didn't defend him either.
Poor Lu Shanji, who spent money and money to fight against the Tartars, ended up like this.
When he was furious, he happened to get a letter from Xue Fengzuo. Lu Shanji decided to go far away to relax his mind.
Sun Qifeng was also a loyal man. Not only was he profound in knowledge, but he also refused to be an official after the fall of the Ming Dynasty and the establishment of the Qing Dynasty. The world called him Sun Zhengjun.
Zuo Menggeng would definitely be happy to meet such a great scholar. It's a pity that now I am worried about Zuo Hua and can't care about that much.
Liu Zongzhou was quite annoyed about Zuo Mengeng's troops entering the city.
"If you do this, you will only teach people the truth, and it will not help the situation. How many people are counting on you for their survival, how can you be impulsive?"
In fact, after coming out of Jining City, Zuo Mengeng knew that he had done something wrong.
After all, he is still a young man in his teens, and passionate impulses are inevitable.
Li Banghua, like Hou Xun, is a workman. Knowing that something has happened, regretting it will not help.
The top priority is to rescue Zuo Hua.
He pondered for a moment and said: "The starting point now is Dongjia Village. As long as it can be proved that the Kong family has seized the land, we are not afraid that the Kong family will not submit."
Lu Shanji asked doubtfully: "Don't the Kong family have the land deed?"
Huang Zongxi snorted: "The land deed must be forged. The land in Dongjia Village was originally in the hands of the landlord Dong Youcai. Dong Youcai's family died at the hands of the White Lotus Sect, which gave the Kong family the opportunity to annex the land. What's the use of forging the land deed? Just Mr. Su from Dongjiacun came forward and everything became clear."
Liu Zongzhou thought this method was good.
"Then send someone quickly and invite the villagers of Dongjia Village to come and testify. If Wang Sunfan dares to protect the Kong family, I will personally go to Beijing to file a complaint."
After a while, Zuo Mengeng had calmed down.
"Please be patient, Mr. Tai. Before coming here, the students have sent people to Dongjiacun. They will be brought here tomorrow at the latest."
Knowing that he had made preparations, everyone felt relieved, and then they realized that they were hungry.
It turns out that after running around all day, no one has made enough money.
Zuo Mengeng didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly asked people to prepare meals.
No one knew that at this time, the city of Jining was already in turbulent waters and extremely dangerous.
After Kong Yinzhu returned to his residence, he was still angry.
What is the concept of Kong family?
A descendant of the eternal saint, respected by all people, a benchmark in the world.
The prosperity that lasted for thousands of years has made the people of the Kong family accustomed to being aloof. Although they were unable to fight against the imperial power, the Kong family was like gods in the three-thirds of an acre of land in Qufu and even Yanzhou.
Only the Kong family has always decided the fate of others. When will it be the turn of the untouchable warriors to disobey the Kong family?
"Old bastards like Liu Niantai, Li Meng'an, Lu Qianyue, and Sun Zhongyuan read my Kong family's books and knelt down to my ancestors of the Kong family. They are so rebellious today."
Butler Kong An followed beside him, anxious.
"Master, it's better to think of a solution quickly. The land deed is full of loopholes. As long as they keep chasing you, the secret will be revealed sooner or later."
Kong Yinzhu's eyes flashed with cruel light.
"What are you afraid of? The people who can testify for them can't come."
Kong An looked confused, but what he encountered was Kong Yinzhu's dangerous warning. He was too busy to wake up and didn't dare to ask further questions.
Kong Yinzhu still couldn't understand his hatred and asked: "How is the young master?"
A servant on the side said fearfully: "The young master is suffering from the pain of a broken leg. He can't rest during the day, and he doesn't even eat."
Kong Yinzhu picked up the tea cup and smashed it on the head, and cursed angrily: "It's rubbish, it's all rubbish. Go...go and invite the best doctors. If you can't cure my son, I'll kill you."
The servants rolled away and ran away, and for a while the house was in a state of chaos.
Kong Yinzhu looked at the hollow with a faint tone.
"Qiu Ba, who is not a scholar, wants to be in the sky, and dares to hurt me, a descendant of the Kong family. If I don't avenge this, I will never let go of the hatred in my heart."
Kong An hurriedly said: "Don't worry, sir. The younger one has been notified to the prison and asked them to greet him properly."
Kong Yinzhu suddenly looked around.
"I want him to die!"
Kong An An felt numb, but after all, he was a slave of the Kong family, and the only thing he could do was to carry out his master's orders.
Kong An exited, called a few thugs, then left the house and ran all the way to the prison.
Although there is a curfew at night, it is in vain for powerful people like them. Along the way, the watchmen and soldiers would step aside when they met.
As we got closer and closer to the prison, the area became darker and darker.
Kong An didn't care.
The prison has always been an unpopular place, and no one likes to go near it.
But there is much that can be done with such solitude and darkness.
The sound of whizzing through the air came like electricity. Kong An and the others didn't react at all, and they were all shot into hedgehogs.
Several people flashed out of the darkness and dragged the dead body into the alley next to it.
When the fire fold was lit up to check the killing effect, the faces of these people were also revealed.
It was Zuo Fu, Li Qingshan and others.
Following Zuo Mengeng's order, Zuo Fu led Li Qingshan and the elite of the Intelligence Department into the city and took action immediately.
Li Qingshan and others successfully found their sworn brother Fang Kuang.
"The man you are talking about is now in a prison. He is closely guarded and I can't get close to him. But he must have been tortured. His screams can be heard throughout the prison."
Zuo Fu's heart tightened and his eyes suddenly turned red.
Fortunately, he has always been steady and considerate of the overall situation, otherwise he would have rushed into the prison and robbed people on the spot.
Even so, he was still filled with murderous intent.
"Go and keep an eye on the Kong family. This feud will never end."
He sent people to keep an eye on the Kong family, intending to take revenge. But he didn't expect that this move would yield unexpected results.
After dark, the man who was watching came back.
"Minister, a few people came out of the Kong family and went to the prison. They all carried knives. I'm afraid they came with bad intentions."
The prison is the prison of Jining Prefecture, not the prison of the Confucius family. At this moment, the Kong family members are going to prison, and it is self-evident what they are going to do.
The situation was urgent, and Zuo Fu couldn't care less and immediately began to deploy.
"Bring your stuff and snatch the people out."
He asked Ma Yingzhi again: "Is the route out of the city safe?"
Ma Yingshi chuckled and said, "Don't worry, my sworn brother Wei Yuanjun will be guarding the east city wall tonight, and no one will stop me."
These people in the world may be less capable than others, but they have friendships all over the world, and now they are put to use.
Zuo Fu led his men to get ahead of Kong An and started hunting directly. Under the powerful crossbow, no one was left alive.
Not only that, Zuo Fu also found a token from Kong An.
"Come on, let's go straight in."
What happened next was very dangerous, so Zuo Fu did not let Fang Kuang participate, and they went to the prison alone.
Kong An's token has now fulfilled Zuo Fu's fortune.
Sure enough, when they arrived at the prison door, Zuo Fu showed his token, and the prison boss immediately let them go and led them all the way to the place where Zuo Hua was imprisoned.
"Your Excellency, you don't know. This guy is smelly and tough. Brothers are skilled in all kinds of martial arts. This guy just doesn't admit his guilt."
Zuo Fu stared blankly at the bloody gourd lying on the ground inside the iron fence, trying to control his breathing and relax his muscles.
"Open the door."
The prison boss hurriedly picked up the key and leaned over to open the lock.
"Whatever torture instruments the adults need, I will serve them for you."
When the prison head turned around, he only saw a flash of cold light, and then the world in front of him spun around and became extremely strange.
