Optimus One Pillar of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 182 Chapter 170 Nine The Treasure of Kong Laoer’s Family

Li Qianshi led his men to kill and disperse all the doglegs, and rescued Wang Daoqiu, who was lying on the ground with a disheveled face like a mud monkey.

As soon as Wang Daoqiu was rescued, Li Qianshi helped Wang Daoqiu up from the ground and asked anxiously: "Sir, are you okay, sir?"

"I, I, cough, bah, bah." Wang Daoqiu was lifted up from the ground by Li Qianshi. As soon as he spoke, the dirt that had previously stuck in his mouth entered his throat, causing him to cough repeatedly.

"Bah, bah, bah". After spitting out all the dirt in his mouth, Wang Daoqiu said breathlessly: "Take all the prisoners and witnesses to the county government office. After meeting with the county magistrate, we will try this case again." ."

"Here"

Wang Daoqiu gave a decision on how to deal with this matter. Li Qian stood up in a hurry, took out his Jinyiwei waist badge, revealed his identity, and asked everyone on the scene to go to the county government office.

The Jinyiwei had a reputation for being vicious, and they had killed several people on the spot just now. At this moment, Kong Renhui and the other people who were frightened by the Jinyiwei who had killed people just now, how could they dare to resist?So just like herding sheep, they were driven to the county government office.

When he arrived at the gate of the county government office, Li Qianshi revealed his identity and explained the reason. When the county government officials heard that Wang Daoqiu, the current cabinet bachelor and the current No. [-] brother in Shandong, had been beaten, how could they dare to neglect him?There was no need to report to the county magistrate, so he quickly followed Li Qianshi's instructions and assigned a group of people to guard the prisoners and witnesses first. The squad leader led Wang Daoqiu and others in to freshen up and see the doctor, while others went to notify the county magistrate.

After a while of busy work, Wang Daoqiu came out after washing himself and putting on his official uniform.The Qufu County Magistrate, together with the county magistrate, the chief minister, and a group of officials, had already been waiting there, waiting for Wang Daoqiu to summon him.

When we met, we first met each other with official etiquette and saluted each other, and then denounced the lawlessness of the Confucian government, saying that we would severely punish them and not neglect anything.After completing this process, the Qufu County Magistrate stepped forward with a smile and whispered to Wang Daoqiu: "Your Excellency, the lower official Lin Gang was originally a director of the Ministry of Rites. He had a meal at Governor Lu's Mansion three months ago. Jiu, I'm lucky enough to meet you. After the Beijing inspection, Xiaguan was transferred to Qufu as the county magistrate. Today, he didn't expect that such evil things happened under the jurisdiction of Xianguan. Xiaguan is really ashamed. But Your Excellency, this Kong Renhui , he has some other secrets, can you let the officials report this to your lord alone?"

Lin Gang, the magistrate of Qufu County, mentioned Jingcha in his words just now and mentioned that he had dinner at Lu Bing's house during Jingcha.He also said that he was lucky enough to meet Wang Daoqiu at the dinner party at that time, so his hint was too obvious.It was nothing more than telling Wang Daoqiu that during the Beijing inspection period, Wang Daoqiu and Lu Bing had earned his money.

Knowing that Lin Gang, the magistrate of Qufu County, was once his big customer, Wang Daoqiu also wanted to know what the relationship between Lin Gang and Kong Renhui was.So Wang Daoqiu nodded and agreed to Lin Gang's proposal to have a private chat about this matter.

After Wang Daoqiu agreed, Lin Gang hurriedly gestured beside Wang Daoqiu with a smile, signaling Wang Daoqiu to "please come in."

Following Lin Gang to a garden pavilion in the back of the county government office, Wang Daoqiu sat at the head seat, and Lin Gang's dog-legged attendant stood by Wang Daoqiu's side.He said with a flattering smile: "First of all, I would like to thank you, Governor Lu, and Eunuch Lu for helping me pass the last Beijing inspection. I know that you are busy with official duties, so I will say it directly without hesitation."

"To tell you the truth, after Xiaguan came to Qufu, Kong Renhui showed great respect to Xiaguan. He first asked Xiaguan to return the fields of his Kong family to him. But everyone in Qufu knows that he, Kong Renhui, is Na Yanshenggong was born from an affair with a nun in the temple, and he was always raised in a farm in the countryside. Kong Renhui's name is not on the genealogy of Yanshenggong, and Yanshenggong has never admitted in front of others. He is such a son. Therefore, it was against the rules to return the fields of the original Confucius Mansion to him. Therefore, the official told him at that time that unless his identity as a descendant of Duke Sheng could be recognized by the court, otherwise the original It is impossible for the family property of Duke Yansheng’s Confucius family to be transferred to his name.” “Kong Renhui heard from his subordinates at the time that his identity was not recognized by the court, and it was impossible for the family property of Duke Yansheng’s Confucius family to be transferred to his name. His, he didn't bother too much about this matter at that time. Then he asked his subordinate if there was a road that could reach the sky and help him seize the title of Duke Yan Sheng? He He also promised Xianguan that as long as Xianguan can help him pull the strings and help him pull the road to the sky, he is willing to offer 30 taels of silver as the winning fee. So, so! Hey, sir, you are not an outsider, you know this. .”

While on inspection in Beijing, Wang Daoqiu, Lu Bing and Lu Fang made money from Lin Gang.Therefore, in Lin Gang's view, Wang Daoqiu and he were of the same mindset, and both of them were greedy.Therefore, he can be said to be very frank in front of the superior officer Wang Daoqiu.

When Wang Daoqiu saw Lin Gang's appearance, he was also surprised that he had made an appointment with Lu Bing and Lu Fang, and that the Jingchao only collected money and did nothing.But how did Yu Maojian and Xia Bangmo let such a guy pass the Beijing inspection?
Suppressing his disgust for Qufu County Magistrate Lin Gang, Wang Daoqiu pretended to be interested in money and said to Lin Gang: "That Kong Renhui is just an illegitimate son of the Kong family who cannot see the light of the world. How could he have too much money?" ? And now the Confucius Mansion has been looted by those rioters, and even the ancestral graves of the Kong family have been destroyed. The bones of the Yan Sheng Gong of all generations have been dug out by the rioters and thrown into the cesspit. The Kong family is now like this. Look, how much gold and silver can Kong Renhui, an illegitimate son, have on his body? He even said he would give you 30 taels, County Magistrate Lin. I think he won’t even be able to get 30 taels, let alone 3 taels now, right?"

Wang Daoqiu questioned Kong Renhui's current financial resources. After listening to Wang Daoqiu's words, Lin Gang hurriedly stepped forward and said, "What your Excellency said is absolutely true. The lower official also questioned Kong Renhui in the same way at that time. But Kong Renhui told the lower official , the reason why his Yanshenggong Mansion has survived through troubled times for thousands of years. In addition to the reputation of his ancestor, Saint Kong, there are also many hiding places in his Confucius Mansion. These places not only make Confucius Mansion, in When the world is in chaos, the direct descendants of the clan can go in and escape to preserve the family bloodline."

"Moreover, these hiding places of the Confucius family also contain most of the treasures of the Confucius family. After the Confucius family is settled in the world, they can use some of these treasures to bribe the new emperor and the new court to let them. The family continued to be Duke Yansheng. Kong Renhui told the official that his biological father, the previous Duke Yansheng, had promised him to be the mother of a nun. He said that he could not give his son Kong Renhui an identity of the Kong family in this life, but he could give Kong Renhui an identity. A person has no worries about food and clothing throughout his life. So Nayan Shenggong told Kong Renhui his mother about a secret treasure place in his Kong family, saying that it was compensation for Kong Renhui's mother and son."

"Sir, it is not a trivial matter for him to let a child of Yan Shenggong and Ni Shi's affair take the title of Yan Shenggong. I believe Kong Renhui should know that this is not something that a county magistrate can do. This matter can only be done by a high-ranking and powerful court official like you. The official believes in Kong Renhui. He should know the consequences of fooling an important court official, so he dare not make a joke about it. Since he dares to ask the official to help him He goes to clear the road that leads to the sky. I believe that he, Kong Renhui, can get at least one to two million taels of silver."

Money is a man's courage. If Kong Renhui dares to ask Lin Gang to help him with such a big thing, he should have the money to do it. Wang Daoqiu also believes this.

So after listening to Lin Gang's words, Wang Daoqiu said: "Okay! You go and bring that Kong Renhui over first, and I'll listen to what he has to say. By the way, you also call Li Qianshi from the Jinyi Guard outside, and he He is a close associate of Governor Lu and can represent Governor Lu."

"It's an adult"

After hearing that Wang Daoqiu agreed to this matter and seeing Wang Daoqiu bring this matter to Lu Bing, Lin Gang was convinced that Wang Daoqiu really wanted to make this money.And once Wang Daoqiu and Lu Bing end up, won't he get the 30 taels of silver?

After all, Kong Renhui had promised that as long as Magistrate Talin helped find the way to the sky, Kong Renhui would pay a 30 tael recruitment fee.And if Wang Daoqiu, the bachelor of the cabinet, and Lu Bing, the leader of the Jinyiwei, are not considered to be the road to heaven, then who else is qualified to be the road to heaven?Therefore, as long as Wang Daoqiu and Lu Bing are willing to take over this business, Kong Renhui will have to pay Talin County Magistrate 30 taels as a recruitment fee.

Thinking that he had earned 30 taels of silver so easily, Lin Gang was so happy that he went outside to look for Li Qianshi and Kong Renhui with brisk steps.
