I, the grandson of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, earned 100 million taels at the beginning

"It's okay, why are you still staying here? There are so many victims waiting to be resettled outside, are you free?"

Lu Xin got up and ran away.

Looking at the guy's back, Zhu Zhangui chuckled and shook his head.

"This guy is also very interesting, and his ability to handle things is also good. Send him back to Xia Yuanjina and give him a shot!"

Reaching out to pick up the letter on the table, Zhu Zhangui stared at his father's mention in the letter that the old man scolded the Kong family in the Shang Study Room, and pondered.

"Sue me for being tricky, angry at my grandpa, plus those things you did, who will die if you don't die?"

"Since you think you are the representatives of saints, then you should hang on the wall and live to cause trouble for others. How rude!"

Folding the letter in his hand and stuffing it into his arms, Zhu Zhangui walked to the window with his hands behind his back, looked at the bright moon in the sky and began to think about ways.

Since he chooses to do it, he must consider what method to use so as not to implicate himself, let alone embarrass the court.

The flickering lights illuminated the back in front of the window, and after a long time, a faint voice sounded from the dark window.

"You don't have to use a weapon to kill someone. In fact, sometimes it's faster to kill someone than a natural disaster."

The news that the emperor was going to Shandong quickly spread in Shandong.

Grandson Zhu Zhangui even informed the Confucian family in Qufu that the emperor wanted to pay homage to the sage Kong, so that people from the Confucian family could come to Qufu as much as possible to accompany the emperor to worship the sage Kong.

On the Kong family side, naturally they dare not neglect.

In order to flatter them, the Kong family directly ordered all the children of the Kong family to arrive in Qufu, Shandong as soon as possible.

Even Kong Xiwen, who accompanied Lin Feng to the capital, was called back.

Ten days passed in a blink of an eye.

The emperor at the capital had already started to set off, and the Kong family had almost gathered, all eagerly waiting for the emperor's arrival.

Evening, late at night.

On a remote path dozens of miles away from Qufu, a dozen knights guarded a tightly wrapped carriage from a distance, and slowly moved forward in the dark.

"It's almost there, and if we get closer, we will leave clues."

The team came to a slope, and a leading knight raised his hand to stop the crowd.

After the team stopped, several knights got off their horses and scattered quickly to keep an eye on their surroundings.

These people didn't wear any logos, and each of them was airtight, and even their eyes were covered with transparent things.

After safety reminders came from all around, the knight who spoke just now got off his horse and stopped five meters away from the carriage.

"Brother, we're here!"

The knight was silent for a while before shouting inside.

"Cough cough cough..."

A cough came from the carriage, followed by a weak voice laughing: "Are you there? That's fine, you go back! Tell the young master, I will complete the task."

The knight didn't respond, just looked at the carriage silently.

After a long time, he said: "Don't worry! Your family has already made arrangements. When your son grows up, he will have a job as a royal guard, and your daughter will find a good family for her." , when she gets married in the future, she will be given a generous dowry, and we brothers are all her natal family, no one dares to bully her."

Knowing the arrangement of his children, a weak laugh came from the carriage.

"Hahaha, my lord has treated us so well, we have nothing to repay, we can only repay him with death. And with a family of saints, we will not lose in this life."

"Third brother, go back and tell the brothers, let's take a step first, remember to burn some more paper money for us during the holidays, we will go there first to decorate for you, so that you can enjoy yourself when you go."

The jokes of the people in the carriage would have caused a burst of laughter in normal times, but today, none of the people present could laugh.

Looking at the tightly packed carriage, the leading knight cupped his fists and bowed deeply.

"Brother, go all the way!"

Several knights around also saluted to the carriage.

"Brother, go all the way!"

There was a moment of silence in the carriage before there was a weak response.

"Brothers, take care!"

Gone, the knights are gone.

Only a well-wrapped carriage, an old horse, and a burning torch remained in place.

After a while, when the sound of the knight's hooves disappeared from a distance, the tightly sealed curtain of the carriage was cut from the inside.

Then a tightly wrapped person slowly crawled out from inside.

The man got off the carriage, took a few breaths, and looked in the direction of the capital.

"Little brat, girl, father originally thought that if he got this disease, he would die worthless, and he thought that no one would take care of you in the future, what should you do? But I didn't expect that it would be a blessing in disguise, and he would earn you a fortune."

"Live well, don't be sad for dad's departure, dad will protect you forever."

Looking in the direction of the capital, the weak man lingered for a while, then resolutely walked to the side of the old horse, swung his dagger and stabbed the old horse to death.

After finishing the horse, he struggled to drag the carriage to the side of the horse's corpse, took out a can of kerosene from it, and poured the carriage and horse all over.

Finally, he picked up the torch stuck in the distance and threw it on the carriage.

Looking at the burning carriage, the man stared at the fire for a while, then turned around and dragged his weak body, walking towards the mansion of the Confucius family in Qufu.

The Confucian family in Qufu is the hometown of saints. In order to prevent some irrelevant people from entering and defile the saints, the guards are also very strict.

Coupled with the arrival of the Confucius family from various places in the past few days, the security vigilance has been raised several levels.

After the weak man approached Qufu, he proceeded cautiously.

Fortunately, this guy used to be a sentry of the Shenji Battalion, so he had no problem avoiding patrols, but it took a little effort when he climbed the outer wall of the Confucian Mansion.

Be careful all the way, and when it was almost dawn, he finally entered the Kong family.

During the day, he found a place to hide for a day. At night, he dragged his weak body, wiped saliva everywhere in Kong's house, and dripped blood from scratched hands.

The next day, someone in Kong's family began to cough and get sick.

After confirming that his task was completed, the man passed away peacefully in a corner that night with a smile on his face.

The historians of the later generations never dreamed that the murderer who had puzzled them for many years in the fall of the Beikong family turned out to be a small person who did not deserve to be named in the history books.

Chapter 113: Raise the gun, aim at the Kong family, and fire!

"Patriarch, cough...almost all the people from all ethnic groups have arrived, your majesty, cough...all those who came to sacrifice are preparing cough cough...they are almost ready, cough cough..."

Kong Family Hall.

Accompanied by a group of gray-haired old men, a child listened to a middle-aged man's report.

The emperor wanted to offer sacrifices to the sage Confucius, and the Confucius family attached great importance to this matter.

Not only did the children of the family who were scattered in various places be called back, but the preparations for the sacrifice were also very comprehensive.

Everyone gathered together today to see how the preparations are going and whether there is anything to add.

"Presumptuous, cough cough... you say something, why do you always... cough cough..."

Before the middle-aged man finished his report, an old man slapped the table angrily and stood up, reprimanding the middle-aged man for speaking etiquette.

It's just that for some reason, he coughed several times after this short sentence of reprimand.

The child sitting at the top looked at him without saying a word, covered his mouth covertly, and coughed a few times.

"It's strange to say that since yesterday, many people in the clan have coughed, and several of them have fallen ill."

An old man who didn't cough saw many people coughing a few times covertly, and frowned suspiciously.

"Have you let the doctor see it?"

The child sitting at the head spoke.

"I've read it. The doctor said that it might be due to the cold weather recently. He prescribed a few medicines, but they didn't work."

The middle-aged man answered the child's question.

"Did the other people show the doctor?"

The child looked at the other coughing people.

One of the elderly men smiled slightly.

"The old man is also familiar with medical books. Cough cough... It's just a small illness. You can prepare some medicine and take it yourself. It will be fine in a few days."

After finishing speaking, he saw that he wanted to ask the child, "Okay, Patriarch, these are trivial matters. It is a major matter to receive the emperor to worship the saints. Don't mess with the priority."

The child glanced at him, lowered his head and said nothing.

Anyway, he is just a mascot, and he can't control anything, they can do whatever they like.

"The owner is not good."

Just when everyone was about to continue their discussion, a young scribe rushed in.

"Presumptuous, trespassing in the main hall, and knowing the family rules, don't let the old man get out."

Before the young scribe could speak, an old man stood up angrily.

"Fourth Uncle, something serious happened. A corpse was found in the warehouse of the inner courtyard. The sixth uncle said that the person might have died of plague."

The young man plopped down on his knees in fear, and said anxiously to the old man.

"What, corpse? Plague!"

Everyone in the room stood up in shock, and one of them hurried forward regardless of his appearance, grabbed the young man by the collar, and asked angrily:

"What did you say, there is a plague in the mansion!"

The young man nodded vigorously with a pale face, and said with fear on his face: "The doctor in the mansion said that there are so many people coughing in the mansion in the past two days, it is likely that they are infected with plague."

Rumble!

As soon as this remark came out, thunder exploded above everyone's heads.

Those who had cough symptoms just now were all stunned, their faces pale and bloodless.

"Hurry up... Let those who don't have a cough go as fast as possible, the farther the better, it's too late... it's too late!"

The hall was quiet for a while, and an old man suddenly came back to his senses and let out a loud roar anxiously.

Everyone was awakened by the roar, and then ran out of the door without a trace.

The news of the plague appearing in the mansion quickly spread among the Kong family.

Then, no matter whether they were sick or not, they were quickly packing up their things and preparing to run.

As for Confucius, who cares, escape is the most important thing.

But they wanted to run away, Zhu Zhangui would not let them do so.

The outbreak of the disease in the Confucius mansion has not been spread to the outside world, and the Kong family is still packing their things and preparing to run away.

A large number of soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, packed tightly and armed with weapons, surrounded the Confucian Mansion tightly.

It's interesting enough to say.

In order to show its lofty status and prevent outsiders from disturbing Confucius, the Confucian Mansion actually built a city wall outside the Confucian Mansion.

Originally, this circle of city walls was meant to keep outsiders out, but it was unexpected that the circle of city walls now became a prison for the Kong family.

"Back... Don't come out, all back to me, His Royal Highness has ordered that anyone who steps out of the city gate, regardless of their status, will be killed."

The first group of Confucian family members who were about to flee for their lives found that the gate of the city was tightly blocked by roadblocks as soon as they arrived at the exit of the city.

"What are you doing? We belong to the Kong family, and... who allowed you to come here? Can you bear the burden of disturbing the peace of the saint?"

The Kong family, who were about to run away, looked at the soldiers who were tightly wrapped behind the horse and blocked the door, and cursed angrily.

"That's right, you stinky mud legs are still moving things away quickly, blocking my way, be careful that I will write to the imperial court, and let the imperial court chop off your dog's head."

"Get out of here, Mr. Yang of the Ministry of War is a good friend. If you dare to block my way, be careful of your life."

In order to escape for their lives, the Kong family no longer cared about their usual dignified demeanor, and all of them were so anxious that their foreheads were sweating, and they pushed hard to reject the horse.

"Raise your gun and aim!"

Seeing the Kong family who were about to attack the checkpoint, an officer leading soldiers to block the door drew his sword and gave the order without hesitation.
