Lu Dynasty

Chapter 413 Slaughtering the Confucian Mansion
Seeing that I was very concerned about Kong Rong's son, Guo Jia smiled and said, "Prime Minister, don't worry, just yesterday when you boarded the altar, the secret agents of Jimin Restaurant had already protected Kong Rong's family! Now they are heading to Luoyang On the way, they will arrive tomorrow at the latest! However, according to the information from Xuchang, Kong Rong’s two sons are really not ordinary people, they are very vigilant! And when our intelligence personnel explained their purpose, they I already know what's going on!" Guo Jia seemed to be very interested in Kong Rong's two sons.

"What? Does Feng Xiao still want to take apprentices? You help me teach Lu Xun and Lu Boyan before you talk about it!" Kong Rong's two sons must not be taught by Guo Jia.If they are really born smart as the history says, then as long as they don't die, they can become talents.If Guo Jia taught them out and they listened to Kong Rong's words and turned against me, wouldn't I be asking for trouble?

Guo Jia laughed and said, "My lord, although Bo Yan is young and talented, even if he is as good as Bo Yan, I don't want to teach him anymore. It's annoying to have many apprentices! At least when he asks this and that, I will give him some advice." Let him answer it! Now Bo Yan is following Wen He to study human nature!" I was speechless to Guo Jia, he was lazy to the extreme!Now that Guo Jia has dealt with the matter of Kong Rong's family, I don't care anymore. As for Mi Heng's family, because of his world-famous broken mouth, he still doesn't have a wife!
Liu Bian ascended the throne. When Kong Rong knelt in front of Liu Bian and shouted long live, Dong Zhao knew that something was wrong.He is not as heartless as the people sent by Yuan Shao.As soon as the ceremony was over, Dong Zhao galloped to Xuchang.Unfortunately, he was forcibly detained by my people at the gate of the city for two days.In the past two days, Dong Zhao has suffered a lot. Originally, if he was not in a hurry to leave, I would treat him well, just like the envoy sent by Yuan Shao. He had good food and wine with me for two days. .I have to detain them so that I can prepare, after all, Cao is too close to me, it can be said that there is a wall between them!
Dong Zhao rushed to Xuchang immediately after leaving Luoyang. When he arrived in Xuchang, it was the time when my order to seek talents was issued.Cao had been waiting a long time ago. When he saw Dong Zhao came back, but he didn't see Kong Rong, he knew something bad was going on.Cao hurriedly asked Dong Zhao. Dong Zhao told Cao what Kong Rong did at the enthronement ceremony. Cao's old and new grudges welled up in his heart one after another. Surrounded, if only one person escapes, I will only ask him! I want to take Kong Rong's family sacrificial flag!"

Cao came to Kong Rong's mansion angrily. He looked at Cao Hong and asked, "Is there any movement inside?"

"My lord, except for a servant who went out to buy vegetables in the morning and we stopped him, not a single fly flew out of this mansion!" Cao Hong confidently assured Cao that no one escaped from Kong Rong's mansion.

Cao Yin kicked open the gate of the Confucian mansion with a sullen face and said, "Listen to my order, arrest all of Kong Rong's family, the men in the front yard, and the women in the back yard!" The whole family is messing around.Cao asked the man in the Confucian mansion in the front yard, "Say! Who is Kong Rong's son?"

"Report to Mr. Cao, the young master is not here!" A middle-aged man said tremblingly and fearfully.

"Who are you!" Cao asked, glancing at the man.

"I am the steward of the Confucian Mansion, my name is..."

"I don't care what your name is! You take me to the backyard and find Kong Rong's wife!" Cao really didn't have the mood to pay attention to the housekeeper of Kong's house, and directly asked him to take him to find someone.

"Mr. Cao, Ma'am is not here either!" Seeing that Cao was only looking for Kong Rong's family, the housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief.Answering Cao is also much more fluent!
Cao suddenly felt something was wrong, and he asked anxiously, "Where did Mrs. Kong and your young master go, and when will you be back?"

"Grandpa Cao, Madam took the two young masters and Madam Ru to Jimin Restaurant for a banquet yesterday, but she never came back, and she didn't say when to come back!" The housekeeper laughed.

"Jimin Restaurant!" Cao immediately knew something was wrong, and he hurriedly shouted: "Give me an order for Xia Houyuan to enforce martial law throughout the city and not let anyone out of the city. Cao Hong, lead your troops to surround Jimin Restaurant and not let anyone escape! Seeing that Cao Hong didn't catch the person he wanted to arrest, Cao Hong was afraid that he would take his anger out on him, so he quickly took the person away.Cao walked out of the Confucian mansion, looked back, and said bitterly: "Kong Wenju, how dare you ruin my great affairs, come here! Give me the whole mansion of Confucius!" Cao turned around and cut the butler who had just answered with a sword After he died, he muttered, "A dead man, I don't care what your name is!" Cao killed all the servants in Kongfu's house and rushed to Jimin Restaurant.He knew that Kong Rong's family must have left the city overnight, but he still had a little bit of luck.

When Cao arrived at Jimin Restaurant, he saw Cao Hong arguing with the shopkeeper.When the shopkeeper saw Cao arrived, he stepped forward to salute and asked, "May I ask Mr. Cao, what crime did my restaurant commit? You want to send troops to besiege here?"

"I received a report from the steward of the Confucian Mansion in the morning, saying that his mistress and young master came to the Guilou for dinner, but they never came back, so I came here to check!" Cao's ability to tell nonsense with his eyes open is no worse than mine, and his face Not much thinner than me!
The shopkeeper said with a smile: "So Mr. Cao wanted to find Mrs. Kong. She hired a carriage at the gate of my restaurant yesterday afternoon and went out of the city. As for where, I don't know. I wanted them to stay for one night. Let's go again, but the two young masters seem to be in a hurry, so they left overnight!"

Cao had already guessed that this was the result, but he was really unwilling to catch Kong Rong's family members.Cao stared at the shopkeeper for a while and said, "Since Mrs. Kong is gone, you can come with me! Take it away!"

"What did I do, Mr. Cao wants to arrest me?" The shopkeeper shouted that he was wronged.

Cao said angrily, "Stop shouting, you think I don't know that Jimin Restaurant is the stronghold of Lu Feng's spies? As soon as Kong Rong joined Lu Feng, his wife and children came to your restaurant to hire a car. How could it be such a coincidence? You must have informed Kong Rong's family, and you were even the one who sent them to Luoyang!"

The shopkeeper laughed and said, "Mr. Cao, although the owner of my Jimin Restaurant is Lu Feng's uncle Huang Ming, he is also a businessman. If Mr. Cao insists on calling me a spy, I have no choice but to let Mr. Cao take it." Take my head. But Mr. Cao, please remember that my lord is a person who protects the weak, and I am afraid that my lord will be overwhelmed by soldiers. You want to return my head, Mr. Cao, but you can’t put it on my body for me!”
