At the end of Ming Dynasty: I, Sun Kewang!Desperate comeback!

Chapter 293 Zhang Sheng: Saints never love yellow and white things, we have to share the worries of

"The villain Yan Shenggong Kong Xingxie pays homage to the general. I wonder who the general is under the king's command?"

As soon as he saw the soldiers and horses of the Western Camp approaching, Kong Xingxie quickly saluted with a respectful look.

"Come here, surround the Kong Mansion!" Zhang Sheng waved his hand.

The cavalrymen of Xiaoqi Town were in good order and quickly surrounded the Kong Mansion.

"General, what do you mean?" Kong Xingxie was startled.

After the Confucius family became a saint, how could they ever receive such treatment?

"Are you that Kong Laoer?" Zhang Sheng said calmly.

"Kong Laoer?" Kong Xingxie was confused.

"My father-in-law is asking if you are Duke Yansheng. Kong Laoer means Duke Yansheng. Do you understand?" Guo Youming scolded.

Kong Xingxie's face darkened when he heard this. These Western thieves were really unreasonable.

To despise Confucius so much is really... a disgrace to politeness!

"General, the villain is Mr. Yan Shenggong." Kong Xingxie said aggrievedly.

Although our old Confucius family has books about sages and sages, look at how tall and powerful they are, and how they use long guns and short guns.

Many Western thieves also carried huge maces.

Although the sages' books are good, they are no match for the mace!

Therefore, Kong Xingxie could only aggrieve himself and suffer for himself.

"Mr. Yansheng, just right!"

Zhang Sheng laughed and got off his horse, then held Kong Xingxie's hand cordially, leaving Kong Xingxie confused.

"Mr. Yansheng, I am Zhang Sheng." He said with a smile.

"It turns out it's Duke Zhang Sheng of the Han Dynasty!" Kong Xingxie was flattered and said: "I heard that the general was in Xuzhou two days ago during the Northern Expedition."

"I didn't expect that in such a short period of time, we would travel hundreds of miles to the hometown of Confucius."

"It's really a divine weapon, it's so shameful!"

"Thank you, thank you." Zhang Sheng said kindly: "Yanshenggong is famous. Zhang is very lucky to see him today!"

Guo Youming on the side was dumbfounded for a moment when he saw Zhang Sheng's coy behavior.

This father-in-law has always been cruel, easy to kill, and resolute. When did he change his temper?

"My lord, you are serious, I am serious." Kong Xingxie breathed a long sigh of relief and returned the greeting with a smile.

Zhang Sheng smiled boldly when he heard this and said: "Mr. Yansheng, let me tell you the truth, I am going north this time to conquer Beijing, go straight to Huanglong on behalf of the king, and destroy the Tatars!"

"I wonder if Duke Yan Sheng is willing to help me?"

Kong Xingxie's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and Zhang Sheng's fox tail was exposed.

This thief is as good as a comb. It seems that Zhang Sheng came to the Confucius Mansion because the person who came was not good, and the good people did not come!

"My lord, expelling the Tartars is also my lifelong wish!" Kong Xingxie said with his bald head on his head:

"It turns out that the villain plans to use the Confucius family property to recruit volunteers to respond to the Duke's Northern Expedition."

"Since the father-in-law has arrived with great military strength and speed, the money and food prepared by the villain can be used to finance the father-in-law's Northern Expedition!"

Zhang Sheng laughed loudly when he heard this, patted Kong Xingxie's shoulder and said, "Shenggong Yan is indeed worthy of his reputation. I wonder how much food Yanshenggong has prepared?"

Kong Xingxie's eyes rolled when he heard this, and he began to make calculations in his mind.

This Western thief is greedy and lustful. If he said anything less, I'm afraid it would add a lot of troubles.

If that's the case, then let's bleed a lot and get it right at once!

"The villain has prepared one hundred thousand taels of silver and ten thousand shi of grain and grass to finance the father-in-law's Northern Expedition!" He gritted his teeth.

This week Yanru and other cabinet ministers are all worth three hundred and five hundred. Kong Xingxie has been in troubled times for so many years, so naturally he cannot compare with them.

Just bite the bullet and settle for 100,000 taels. At worst, I'll have to pay for 85% of Qufu's land rent next year.

Let the daughters of the tenants play a few more games to relieve the grievances of the master.

This is how it went.

"How much?" Zhang Sheng was stunned.

"One hundred thousand taels of silver, ten thousand stones of grain and grass." Kong Xingxie said with a clear conscience.

Our Ming Dynasty has so many officials and nobles in Beijing that even Chongzhen, who was crying for his father and mother, only came with 200,000 taels.

He, Yan Shenggong, can afford one hundred thousand taels, which can be considered as equal to half of the Ming Dynasty.

If all the nobles and ministers could do this, our Ming Dynasty might be able to raise a few million to continue!

Having accomplished this, Kong Xingxie was naturally justified and had a clear conscience.

After Zhang Sheng confirmed the amount, his face straightened.

He turned his head and waved.

In an instant, the cavalry of the front army were approaching quickly with torches.

"Master, what are you going to do!" Kong Xingxie stepped back in fright.

The domestic slaves and servants of the Confucius Mansion guarded the gate cautiously with swords, guns and sticks.

Zhang Sheng glanced coldly, and then walked up to Kong Xingxie.

With a snap, a big penis was thrown out, making Kong Xingxie dizzy.

"Master!" The steward of the Kong Mansion was shocked and quickly called the servants of the Kong Mansion to come forward.

But in front of Zhang Sheng, the legs of these evil Qufu slaves all trembled.

Under the watchful eyes of the Xiying Iron Cavalry, they didn't dare to act arrogantly.

"Damn, what a bunch of trash, just a bunch of crooked melons and cracked jujubes. I really don't know how you, the Kong family, are still alive today." Zhang Sheng cursed.

These servants of the Confucius Mansion are worse than those green camp soldiers who ran away when they saw the front army.

With such a bunch of stuff, Zhang Sheng didn't even bother to say anything.

"Come here and seize the Confucius Mansion. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!" Zhang Sheng said slowly.

A large number of jackals, tigers and leopards from Xiying quickly entered the Kong Mansion with their eyes shining.

"Hurry, stop them!" Kong Xingxie said sadly and angrily, vomiting blood.

"Come on, hurry up!" The housekeeper supported Kong Xingxie and said sadly and angrily.

Several loyal slaves of the Kong family gathered up their courage with scimitars, roared and rushed towards the front army.

With a few hisses, the cavalrymen who had not yet dismounted fired a few arrows.

Blood appeared at the door of Confucius' mansion.

"Come here, take Mr. Yansheng down and keep him under his supervision."

Zhang Sheng said calmly: "Inform the people in the city to come to the gate of Confucius Mansion tomorrow to collect money and food."

"Yes!" Several sturdy guards arrived at Kong Xingxie in an instant, knocked down the butler with one fist, and controlled Kong Xingxie.

"Zhang Sheng, I am a saint in the Kong family. If you touch us, you are making enemies of the world!" Kong Xingxie yelled.

"Exactly." Zhang Sheng said disdainfully: "How can you represent the people of the world if you are a bunch of weaklings who come here to give gold and to give you money?"

"I have never heard that a group of dogs with rat tails can represent the world!"

"Come here, drag me down!"

A group of Xiying elite soldiers dragged Kong Xingxie away from Kong's mansion late at night. "Zhang Sheng, you have to die a good death!" Kong Xingxie kept struggling, looking at the Kong Mansion being swarmed with grief and anger.

Suddenly one of Zhang Sheng's guards became impatient and raised his hand to punch him.

The beating made Kong Xingxie's eyes flash with red and white flowers, and they all flowed out of his nose, and he suddenly became a dead dog.

"Damn it, why are you shouting so loudly if you can't help but beat me?" the guard cursed.

In the Kong Mansion, a large number of Qianqian troops rummaged through boxes and cabinets under the organization of officers, and boxes of gold and silver were moved into the lobby.

Zhang Sheng walked into the lobby surrounded by his cronies.

At a glance, I saw the portrait of Confucius and his seventy-two coats.

"This... is Kong Sheng?" Guo Youming opened his mouth with disbelief on his face.

When the world heard about this Confucius, Guo Youming had seen many of his portraits.

But he had never seen this portrait of Kong Sheng with pigtails.

Not only that, there are not only portraits of Confucius and Saints in the lobby, but also statues.

The statue of Kong Sheng with braids is really lifelike.

"Damn, they are a bunch of embarrassing things." Zhang Sheng took a sip.

I was shocked by the shamelessness of Kong Xingxie and his gang.

"Sir, there are statues of Emperor Guan and Buddha in the Confucius Mansion, and they also have braids." A general couldn't laugh or cry.

"I'll kill him. Even Emperor Guan will not let him go. I also look down on these people." Zhang Sheng shuddered.

This kind of scene in Kong's mansion made even him, the murderous warrior of Xiying, shudder.

"My lord, why don't we burn all these things with a fire, it will look embarrassing." General Lu Yun suggested.

"Burn the Confucius Mansion on fire?" Zhang Sheng felt a little moved after hearing this, but he still waved his hand.

"We will discuss this later. Let's just take the money and food and go on the Northern Expedition. We will see how the king treats Kong Xingxie later."

As the house was searched, dawn gradually rose.

After a night of inspection, the Kong family's property was initially inventoried.

"My lord, please count over half a million taels of gold and seven million taels of silver!" Guo Youming respectfully handed a booklet to Zhang Sheng.

After a night of hard work by the military officials, the specific amount of gold and silver in the Confucius Mansion was initially determined.

"How much?" Zhang Sheng asked the boss with his eyes widened.

"More than half a million taels of gold and seven million taels of silver!" Guo Youming replied with a trembling voice.

"Okay!" Zhang Sheng's face turned red and he said angrily: "Kong Sheng's reputation is indeed not wasted after Kong Sheng! The savings he has accumulated over the years are far beyond what other gentry can compare with!"

"Hahaha, beautiful! When this batch of gold and silver is shipped back to Nanjing, the king will naturally not have any objections!"

"My lord, that's not all. There are many hidden kilns in the Confucius Mansion that have not been discovered. This amount is far from the entire gold and silver in the Confucius Mansion!" Guo Youming said excitedly.

"Copy! Copy to death, tell the brothers to dig three feet into the ground!"

"Seventy percent of this gold and silver will be transported back to Nanjing and dedicated to the king! The rest will be distributed to the brothers as rewards based on merit!"

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers who had been working all night were refreshed and their whole bodies were filled with strength again.

"Tell me honestly how many secret kilns there are in Kong's mansion and how much gold and silver are hidden!"

In a house, a general slapped his horsewhip, frightening the slaves of the Confucius house inside to tremble.

"Master Jun, how can we slaves know about this kind of thing? If you want to ask, you have to ask the masters!" A domestic slave said tremblingly.

"Master?" The general was thoughtful.

"I can tell you that if you have any clues and tell them now, not only can you be released immediately, but you can also collect the commission from my heavenly soldiers!"

The general said sternly: "For example, there are one hundred thousand taels of silver in a dark kiln, and you can get one thousand taels if you tell them!"

"There are two hundred thousand taels of silver, so that's two thousand taels!"

"But if you don't explain it, you won't be able to eat it until the heavenly soldiers find out before I leave!"

"Master Jun, what you said is true!" an older slave said with eyes shining.

"That's natural." The general said with cupped hands: "The Lord of the Kingdom once said that our front army is a team of poor people."

"The heavenly soldiers eat meat before I go out, so naturally I have to leave soup for you slaves to drink."

"Not just you, but the people of Qufu as a whole will be able to receive money and food. Everywhere I went during the Northern Expedition, the people welcomed me wholeheartedly."

"It will be right in front of you, don't make any mistakes!"

When the slaves in the room heard this, their eyes lit up and they were very excited.

They had heard about the news that the Qianqian Army was opening warehouses to stockpile grain in various places.

If you can cooperate with the house confiscation, you will reach the sky in one step.

"Master Jun, I know a location that Master Kong once asked me to take care of!" the elder slave who asked the question said.

"Master Jun, I also know a location with a mountain of silver hidden inside!"

For a time, the entire Kong family fell into a sea of ​​joy.

A large number of domestic slaves diligently led the way for the front army and dug up the rockeries, flowers and plants in Confucius' mansion.

Boxes of gold and silver were moved out, and piles of jewelry were taken out.

With the domestic slaves leading the way, the gold and silver piled higher and higher in the lobby, which made Zhang Sheng and others stunned.

"Damn it, this Kong Laoer has tens of millions of gold and silver, but he is only willing to use a mere hundred thousand taels to fool me!"

Zhang Sheng said angrily: "You really deserve to die!"

Seeing this, Guo Youming raised his hands and said, "My lord, I'm afraid only Kong Xingxie knows how much gold and silver there is in the Kong Mansion."

"Since we have already ransacked the house, why not do it without stopping and confiscate all the thousand-year-old family property of the Confucius family!"

"Yes!" Zhang Sheng shouted: "Come here, hurry up and make clamping sticks, bring some fat pigs, and let me take good care of Kong Laoer and his family!"

"Sir, Kong Xingxie is a saint after all. Is this too much for us?" A former military general asked worriedly.

"Is it more important to be a saint or to have money?" Zhang Sheng asked rhetorically.

"This..." The former military general hesitated for a long time, and finally whispered: "Silver is important."

"That's right, the house has been confiscated anyway. The more we confiscate, the more we can dedicate to the king, the more we have left for our brothers, and the more we can distribute to the people of Qufu!"

"When everyone gets more money, everyone will be happy!"

Zhang Sheng said eloquently: "Everyone is happy, that means hello to you, hello to me, and hello to everyone! So for the sake of everyone, I can only aggrieve the Saint Queen."

"Kong Sheng has a broad mind and enjoys being with others. If he knew that his descendants could make everyone so happy, it would be too late for him to be happy himself! What are we afraid of now?"

"My lord, you are right! The saint never likes yellow and white things. We ransacked his house and took the worry out of Confucius Sheng. The saint is not happy enough." A group of uneducated generals from the Qianqian army said something serious.

"After the order is passed, quickly summon the craftsmen in the city to make clamping sticks. If the gold and silver are not released before sunset, then these saints will be clamped to death!" Zhang Sheng said.

He came to Qufu just to make money and not to kill himself, but if Kong Xingxie didn't let him make money and make a clean living, don't blame him for Zhang Sheng's death! (End of chapter)
