Chapter 655 Kong Yingda's Way
Kong Yingda really wanted to resolve this matter as soon as possible, and he didn't want to delay too long in Dengzhou.The train quickly brought him to Luoyang, where Kong Yingda was surprised to see a motor sailing boat.The production of steam engines is limited, and they are basically installed on sea ships.There are only two riverboats in total, but Li Er unexpectedly prepared one for himself.It seemed that Li Er also wanted to resolve this matter as soon as possible.

With the mechanical power and the sails on the boat, it is still downstream.The motor sailboat sailed rapidly in the Yellow River, and arrived in Zhuozhou in only four or five days.Abandoned the boat and landed in a carriage along the main road, and rushed to Dengzhou quickly.Kong Yingda was surprised to find that he had only walked for seventeen days when he set out from Chang'an and saw the Dengzhou City Wall.

Datang's traffic has reached this point?He had walked the road from Chang'an to Dengzhou before, but it took more than a month.

After reading the imperial decree, Kong Yingda stuffed the imperial decree into Yun Hao's hand. "Duke Chu! Your Majesty orders you to return to Beijing immediately without delay. The ship is already waiting in Zhuozhou. I will handle the matter here."

Yun Hao was a little puzzled, Kong Yingda's knowledge is not fake, he can be called a contemporary Confucian.But I have never heard that the old man will solve the case.Could it be that the old guy is versatile and has studied criminal investigation by himself?
"Teacher Kong, there is a lot of fog in this matter. Yun has no way out, and Taifu Kong is careful." Yun Hao kindly reminded.

"You don't have to worry about this matter, Duke Chu, I will handle it well. Your Majesty is very anxious, please get on the road as soon as possible, Duke Chu, please!" Kong Yingda didn't seem to like talking too much with Yun Hao, so he cupped his hands as a farewell.

Although he was very curious about how Kong Yingda would handle this matter, Yun Hao took his family and left Dengzhou without hesitation.He didn't tidy up his things. Chang'an has his own mansion, and Lintong is his home.Li Er is a good boss, he sent someone from a long distance to wipe his ass, if he doesn't sneak around at this time, he is out of his mind.

Kong Yingda is a person who is extremely good at doing things. The first thing he did after he came to Dengzhou was to ignore the fatigue of traveling and traveling.Personal condolences to those injured soldiers and their families.They also allocated money and food from the treasury to condolences to them.For a while, the morale of the government soldiers was extremely high.They all expressed that they would kill all the guys who dared to fight against the imperial court.

"Could it be that the Taifu wants to exterminate those disorderly people?" Ma Zhou was very frightened by Kong Yingda's actions, and he believed that Kong Yingda must have received instructions from a higher level.If that was the case, Ma Zhou couldn't even imagine what kind of Shura slaughterhouse Dengzhou City would become.

"Probably not! There are thousands of rioters, plus tens of thousands of family members. If such a thing is really done, the people of Dengzhou may immediately rebel. Then the trouble will be big, and I only have 1000 in my hands." Many government soldiers. If you want to transfer troops now, you can only draw them from Youzhou. Without the military order of the imperial court, Youzhou will never send troops.” Chang Sun Chong is also nervous about Kong Yingda’s actions. If there is a rebellion, he, the school lieutenant, will bear the brunt .

"What do you think of this old man? A butcher? Yun Hao didn't do something, you think this old man would do that? Two young men who don't know the so-called!" Ma Zhou and Chang Sun Chong were talking in the official office, but they didn't expect Kong Yingda to come from the door. Strolled in.

"Students are ashamed! Please forgive me!" The eldest Sun Chong has been studying in the palace since he was a child, so he can naturally be regarded as Kong Yingda's student.

"Hmph! I'll settle the charges against you later, and I'll remember this beating. You have been in Dengzhou for a long time, and you will find some desperadoes for the old man, the kind who are willing to sell their lives for money." Kong Yingda said With the feather fan in his hand, he patted Chang Sun Chong on the head and said.

"Desperado? Grand Tutor, this is...!" Chang Sun Chong said a little puzzled.

"I told you to find it and you will find it. We will see you tonight." Kong Yingda slapped Chang Sun Chong with a fan, turned around and walked out of the hall, leaving behind two people looking at each other.Could it be...!This Master Tutor wants to hire a killer?
Although they didn't understand what Kong Yingda wanted these desperadoes to do, Zhang Sun Chong and Ma Zhou managed to find more than a dozen guys very efficiently.

"Are you all willing to risk your life for money?" Kong Yingda looked at the five men standing in front of him.

"I owed a whole body of gambling debts, lost all the house, and lost all the land. My parents were so angry that I lost all my wives and children. I didn't think about anything in this life, I just begged the old man to reward me Some money to redeem my wife and children. My life is worth it even if I sell it!" The man named Chu Xiong knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"En! Stand up!" Kong Yingda waved his hand, motioning Chuxiong to stand aside.

"Where is the strongest robber who doesn't kill people? Since he was caught by the officials, it's just a matter of a knife. If you can sell this head for some money, you can also redeem your lover. If the money rewarded by the Elder Master can save her life If you don’t have to worry about food and clothing, that’s the best thing to do.” A burly man with a ferocious face stood in front of Kong Yingda and said with his neck stuck.Just by looking at his face, he must be a gangster.Chang Sun Chong was also forced to rush out, and the people in the cell were also released.

"Okay, tell the elder grandson where your relationship is, and your wish will come true. Stand aside!" Kong Yingda pointed to Chu Xiong's side, and the big man stood over with handcuffs and shackles, with a rebellious expression on his face.

"Cough! Cough! The villain has tuberculosis, and the doctor said he couldn't survive. If the old man wants my life, then take it. I just ask for some money. It's not easy for my parents to support me. In order to cure the disease, the whole house was destroyed. It’s sold, but now I’m still renting a house to live in.” A skinny guy with a sickly face coughing constantly said.

"It's a filial person, so you stand over there alone." Kong Yingda waved his hand, and also pointed to Chu Xiong's side.

"My father is sick, as long as the old man is willing to pay for my father's medical treatment. My life belongs to the old man. If there is even half a lie, there will be thunderbolts." This is an honest farmer, pointing to the sky and starting to swear swear.

"Another filial person, you stand there too!"

"I have no father or mother, I was raised by nature. If the elder is willing to gamble me with money, this life will belong to the elder." The last guy said.

"Oh! Get out!" Kong Yingda took it back in disgust, and an officer immediately stepped forward to pick this guy up.

"My lord, I'm willing to sacrifice my life as long as I give you money. You can ask me to kill people. You can ask me to do anything. I just want to gamble, I just want to gamble!" The man shouted hoarsely, hoping that Kong Yingda would give him a Chance.

Kong Yingda frowned and winked at the guard.A dagger was gripped silently from under his ribs.

When he died, his mouth was covered, but his eyes were still wide open.The guards dragged him out, wrapped him in a mat, and ordered someone to carry him out and bury him.

"Since you are willing to sacrifice your lives, this old man will buy your lives. One hundred coins per person will be used as your settlement expenses. As long as you agree to one thing!"

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, unable to believe it was true.Even if the meat is chopped up and sold, it won't cost a hundred guan.

"As long as you admit that you ganged up to kill Wu Laoshi's family, the money is yours. This is your hard-working money, and no one will be greedy. Your family will be taken care of. Don't doubt me, old man Kong Yingda sage 31 Grandchildren, the official worships the crown prince. The four hundred coins are not in the eyes of the old man." Kong Yingda looked at the four desperadoes in front of him and said.

The 31st grandson of Confucius, this sign is much stronger than that of Prince Taifu.Although these few are illiterate, they also know that Confucius is the ancestor of scholars.

"Okay, I agree to you. Knowing your request, even if you don't agree, you will die today. If you don't leave some money and wealth for the matchmaker, you can be considered worthy of her." The robber spoke first, and the death of the gambler just now He sees it all.He knew that even if he didn't agree today, it would be too late.This prince and grand master will never let a word of what was said in this room today spread out.

"Sure enough, he is a strong man!" Kong Yingda glanced at this guy appreciatively, but his mind was a little bright.If it is not necessary for someone to do such a thing, I really want to take it for my own use.

The remaining three people looked at each other, Chu Xiong was the first to bow his head and said: "The villain follows the arrangement of the Grand Tutor, and only asks the Taifu to rescue the villain's wife and daughter."

"No problem, there is no problem with your request." Kong Yingda replied lightly.

The jaws of Chang Sun Chong and Ma Zhou were about to drop to the ground, is there still a way to solve the matter?The two guys are also immersed in officialdom, and they know the secrets of officialdom.But this time, it's too mysterious!The majestic prince and grand master of the Tang Empire actually bought the murderer to take the blame.A mere four hundred pennies will settle the matter?
"Take them down, get them some good food and drink, and tell them their confessions. Tomorrow, the neighbors will be listed. This is the case that has been carefully investigated by Mrs. Ben and worked hard to solve it. Except for one thief who was beheaded, the rest were all killed. In the next day, I will hear the case publicly." Kong Yingda said to Chang Sui who was beside him.

"No!" Chang Sui responded, took the four of them down for dinner, and urged them to memorize his lines.

"Changsun Chong, Ma Zhou!" Kong Yingda's voice made the two pass through Shen'er.

"Master Taifu!" The two bowed to salute the old guy, and it really was an old fox, and they could even come up with such an idea.

"Withdraw money from the government treasury and bring their family members back to the government office. Let them meet tomorrow, but don't let them talk. Do you understand?"

"Uh...! Promise!" The old guy was actually unwilling to pay four hundred coins, now he understands.That lousy gambler who has no father and no mother will die because of Mao. It turns out that the people these desperadoes care about are hostages.With these people in hand, they can't even die if they don't want to.Good means, good calculations!

Ma Zhou and Changsun Chong glanced at each other, and immediately went out to run errands.
