Boom!
The sergeants closed the door of the prison van, as if the person who had just spoken was nothing.
"Are you deaf when I talk to you?"
When the visitor saw this, he became even more angry. He looked at the blood on the corner of Kong Yanxiang's mouth and the red and swollen right side of his face, and shouted angrily again.
"Whoever hit him should stand up, chop off his right hand, and kowtow to Kong Yanxiang to apologize."
As if he heard the voice of someone coming, Kong Yanxiang finally woke up completely and struggled to sit up from the prison car.
But the shackles weighing forty kilograms around his neck were not something that he, a pampered, drunken waste, could lift.
While struggling and shouting, he was in such a state of embarrassment that he couldn't be more magnanimous than a county magistrate.
"Let me go, let me out..."
"You are so brave, do you know who I am?"
"If you dare to mess with my Kong family, you will be dead..."
"Brother, save me quickly, my bones are about to be broken!"
Hearing the screams, the man became even angrier and wanted to rush to the prison car, but as soon as he got close to the prison car, two long knives were placed on his neck.
"If a repeat offender of the imperial court takes another step forward, he will be treated as an accomplice and will be killed without mercy!"
"you……"
The cold blade was pressed against his neck, and the person immediately shut up, then slowly took a few steps back.
Upon seeing this, the sergeant put his sword into its sheath and stood beside the prison car, looking around cautiously.
"I am Kong Yanchen, the official in charge of the Gou Department of the Kong Mansion. Who are you? Do you know who he is? Do you know who the Magistrate of Qufu County is?"
"Control officials?"
Zhou Yuji repeated softly that in addition to Yan Shenggong, the Confucius Mansion also had six internal management halls, namely the Dianluo Hall, the Siyue Hall, the Zhangshu Hall, the Zhiyin Hall, the Guangou Hall, and the Baihu Hall.
The first two are in charge of the rituals and music, the Zhangshu Hall and the Zhiyin Hall are in charge of documents and seals, the Guangou Hall is in charge of collecting rents from the sacrificial fields, and the Baihu Hall is in charge of the forest temple and guards, which can also be said to be the armed forces of the Confucius Mansion. mechanism.
Guan Gou, the official of Guan Gou Hall, is a powerful figure in the Confucius family. No wonder he is so arrogant.
Seeing that Zhou Yuji stopped talking, Kong Yanchen smiled, thinking that Zhou Yuji was scared, and said disdainfully: "Open the prison car and let Kong Yanxiang come out, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences!"
"Get out of the way!"
"What if I don't let you?"
Zhou Yuji sneered: "Before I came, someone told me that the Confucius Mansion in Qufu County is the emperor of the earth, a country within a country.
It's only you, the Kong family, who bully others. If someone offends you, you will lose your skin even if you die. I thought it was an exaggeration.
Now it seems that you are more arrogant than described!
Why Kong Yanxiang was arrested? The imperial edict is very clear. The opportunity is given to you, but you don’t cherish it! "
"Come here, arrest Kong Yanxiang and his gang and escort them to Beijing!"
The two sergeants beside the prison car took a few steps forward, grabbed Kong Yanchen's arm, and threw him into the prison car.
"You, you... are so presumptuous!"
"I have rebelled against you. I want to tell Duke Yan Sheng that you, you..."
"Shut up!"
Zhou Yuji shouted coldly: "I happen to be going to see Kong Yinzhi, so I'll take you to see him by the way!"
"Twenty people were left to guard the county government office. They led the county government officials to search Kong Yan's family property and seal the archives. Anyone who dares to approach without permission will be killed!"
"If the county government officials do not cooperate, they will be treated as guilty!"
After saying that, he clamped the war horse between his legs and headed towards Kong Mansion, followed closely by the prison car and the cavalry behind him.
After the prison van left, the people watching were completely awake. They looked at each other and started talking.
"This stupid young man is not just arresting the county magistrate, he is also arresting Guan Guanguan, and he is going to the Confucius Mansion to make trouble. This is going to break the news!"
"Yes, the intention is good. If he could control the court, he would have already done so. The emperor is still young!"
"Who is not afraid of death and goes to the capital to complain? Even if the court takes control, it will only be temporary. If the county magistrate is changed to the Kong family, then the person who complained will be dead!"
"Okay, okay, someone from the court finally came to deal with the Confucius Mansion. I have been waiting for this day for a long time!"
"Hey, I see. After all, this is the Millennium Confucius Mansion. After all, the saint is a place of pilgrimage for the world's literati. The court does not dare to go too far!"
"Let's go to the Kong Mansion to see if it's really in charge or just a show of force! I hope the Kong Mansion can restrain itself a bit from now on, hey..."
…
Amid the discussion, the common people also followed the prison car and headed towards the Confucius Mansion.
It was less than two miles from the Qufu County Government Office to the Confucius Mansion, that is, within a quarter of an hour, the team stopped in front of the gate of the Confucius Mansion.
On both sides of the gate of the Confucius Mansion are male and female stone lions carved in the round with a height of more than seven feet. The red-edged and black-lacquered gate is inlaid with Suan Ni pavement.
A plaque with the words "Holy Mansion" on a blue background and gold letters hangs high above the center of the gate. The walls and screen walls on both sides are painted white, giving it the appearance of a saint's mansion.
"The writing is majestic and broad, the fonts are majestic but not rigid, the writing style is strong but not clumsy, the writing is majestic but not elegant, the bones are strict, and the Tao is powerful. It is indeed everyone's style."
Zhou Yuji stared at the 'Holy Palace' plaque on the door and murmured to himself: "It's a pity that such a person can be a 'thief' and be rated as a traitor..."
During such a pause, more than ten people walked out of Kong's mansion, presumably after receiving reports from the Qufu County Government.
Duke Yan Sheng glanced at the prison car and then looked at Zhou Yuji: "I am Duke Yan Sheng Kong Yinzhi. Who are you? Why did you put the Qufu County Magistrate and the Confucius Mansion Guan Gou in the prison car?"
"I am Zhou Yuji, the commander of Tengxiang's right guard, and this person next to me is Qianhu Wu Zhe, the Jinyi Guard. We are here to deliver the order on your Majesty's orders!"
Zhou Yuji got off his horse and pointed at the prison car: "Mr. Yan Sheng, someone complained to the emperor. After a thorough investigation by the Jinyi Guards, Qufu County Magistrate Kong Yanxiang protected the disciples of the Confucius family and ignored the lives of more than ten people...
His Majesty asked my commander to send his weapon back to Beijing. As for Guan Gouguan, my commander refused to listen and could only arrest him as an accomplice! "
Hearing that the person coming was the commander of Teng Xiang's right guard, the faces of everyone in the Kong family changed slightly. As the talkers of the Kong family, they naturally knew what Teng Xiang's right guard represented.
Among the emperor's personal guards, the emperor visited the northwest for three months in February. They were all Tengxiang's right guards. To a certain extent, they could represent the emperor's personal presence.
Duke Yan Sheng's face was calm, and he turned around and asked calmly: "Official Baihu, you are in charge of the criminal law guard of the Confucius Mansion. What on earth is Commander Zhou talking about?"
"yes!"
A middle-aged man walked out from behind Yan Shenggong: "I am the official of the Hundred Households of Confucius Mansion. I have been in charge of the family law guard of Confucius Mansion for more than 20 years.
I have never heard of the murder that Commander Zhou mentioned. Could Commander Zhou be mistaken? "
"Do you think our Jin Yiwei is a loser?"
Qianhu Wu Zhe, the Jinyiwei guard beside Zhou Yuji, came out and stared at Baihuguan coldly: "The results of the Jinyiwei's personal investigation and evidence collection were personally interrogated by His Majesty.
When you say that, can I, Qianhu, understand that you are saying that His Majesty is foolish and has listened to slander? "
