"Excellent plan, wonderful plan, but it's a little too late."
The sudden voice startled everyone. Zheng Hun was even more shocked. Then a murderous intent flashed in his eyes: "Who is it? Eavesdropping outside the door, get out now!"
"Boom!!"
There was a heavy knock on the door, and the door of the hall was kicked open from the outside. A young man dressed as a scholar walked in slowly, with a special smile on his face: "Langya Zhuge Liang came to visit."
"What, you are Zhuge Liang?"
Zheng Hun's heart skipped a beat as he exclaimed, and a sense of uneasiness came over him.
How did Zhuge Liang know their whereabouts? Could it be that...
His heart felt cold, but he quickly adjusted his mood and bowed: "So it's Mr. Kong Ming who has become famous recently. I wonder why you come here in the middle of the night?"
"We don't have any dealings with each other. Breaking into my mansion in the dark is a serious crime!"
"Marshal Ye has long said that even generals who followed him to conquer the world and officials from all over the country are not allowed to break into private homes at will."
"Marshal Ye is about to be registered. If it is spread that someone he relies on is breaking the law, what do you think will happen?"
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "To deal with extraordinary people, we must use extraordinary means."
"In addition to asking me to prepare the rules and regulations for the imperial examination, the lord also asked me to find the villains who secretly undermined the imperial examination system."
"Tonight I am on a business trip, not a visit, so it cannot be said that I am breaking the law knowingly. Master Zheng, what do you think?"
Zheng Hun's eyes were gloomy and he was silent for a long time: "I don't understand what Mr. Kong Ming means."
"My Zheng family has always been upright and honest, and has never done anything wrong. How could we be guilty?"
"We were just gathering at home to discuss how to serve the new court, but we didn't expect Mr. Kong Ming to suddenly barge in and bite us back."
"I would like to go to Marshal Ye and have a discussion with you to see who is right and who is wrong."
Zhuge Liang shook his head and smiled: "Before, I have only heard the saying that one will not give up until he reaches the Yellow River, and will not cry until he sees the coffin, but I have never seen such a stupid person. Today I have really opened my eyes."
Zheng Hun frowned: "What do you mean?"
"Even if you want to convict me, you need witnesses and physical evidence. Do you think you can take my head just based on your words?"
"My Zheng family also has connections in the new court. We have been friends with Zhen Yi, the head of the Zhen family, for more than ten years. If you want to use your power to pressure others, I'm afraid you have found the wrong person."
Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "How can we convict someone without any evidence?"
"Master Chen, come out!"
Under the gaze of the crowd, Chen Qun walked out of the darkness with a calm expression, pointing at Zheng Hun and saying, "This man secretly undermined the imperial examination system, and conspired with the masters present to form a clique for personal gain."
"People like this are simply the scum of my family."
"My family has been criticized a lot because of these people who are just sitting there doing nothing."
This statement was beyond the imagination of everyone present.
Zheng Hun pointed at Chen Qun, trembling all over: "You... You are simply slandering me."
"It was obviously your idea, why are you putting it on me?"
"You traitor."
Chen Qun sighed: "Brother Zheng, if your family is on the verge of death, what will you choose?"
"Do you want to bear this infamy or not?"
Zheng Hun was stunned: "What do you mean? Do they really dare to do it?"
Chen Qun sighed and looked outside, only to see hundreds of men in black holding broadswords, each of them exuding a strong murderous aura.
His heart sank, and he smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that I would fall into the calculations of my own people."
"But if you kill us, the whole Luoyang city will be in a state of panic."
"Before the new court was established and Marshal Ye ascended the throne, so much bloodshed was caused. It will be recorded in history books and leave a name of infamy for all eternity."
"A thousand years later, Ye Feng will be called a tyrant."
"His empire will collapse in an instant just like the Qin Empire did."
Zhuge Liang sighed and said, "Just for that statement, I should have your head taken away."
"But my lord is kind-hearted. Let me give your family a chance to survive."
"Hand over the wealth in your home, and all of you commit suicide voluntarily, and this will solve the problem."
"Otherwise, I will wave my hand and your family will be beheaded and corpses will be scattered all over the ground."
"Think it through."
After saying this, Zhuge Liang walked outside without saying anything more.
All the family heads were terrified and quickly surrounded Chen Qun: "Master Chen, save my life!"
"I was originally"
As the crowd tried to make friends, Chen Qun sighed and shook his head, saying, "I gave you a chance today, but you didn't take it."
"If we follow Zhuge Liang's advice, we can save the lives of the rest of the family. If we insist on doing it our own way, I'm afraid our entire family will be wiped out."
"Think about it carefully. There is no room for compromise on this matter."
At this point, he looked at Zheng Hun again and said, "Tonight, it will only be reported that Patriarch Zheng summoned the other Patriarchs to discuss important matters, but you poisoned the food, and eventually the other Patriarchs died one after another."
"The court discovered the strange phenomena of the Zheng family. Zheng Hun committed suicide out of fear of punishment. In order to atone for their sins, the Zheng family handed over their family wealth."
After the story was finished, Chen Qun no longer looked at their expressions and walked out quickly, leaving behind the heads of the noble families with dull eyes. (End of this chapter)
