Chapter 268 Killing the Confucian Mansion

When people are hungry and cold, they tend to stop thinking and act on instinct.

When the human brain is in operation, it needs to consume glycogen in the body, and the main source of glycogen is the food ingested.

Without food intake, the body begins to break down liver glycogen and muscle glycogen.

After these things are decomposed, they will decompose protein and muscle.

When everything is decomposed, the internal organs are decomposed.

Before starving to death, it will enter the stage of confusion.

Almost all of these refugees outside Qufu are on the verge of starvation.

The strong wind is still blowing, and it is icy cold.

A young man from the Kong family stood on the city wall, wearing silk and satin, holding a jug in his left hand, taking a sip from time to time.

The servant behind him was holding a plate with some steamed buns in it.

This is no ordinary steamed bun, with stones and sand sandwiched inside.

The young man of the Kong family took a steamed bun from the servant behind him and threw it under the city.

The extremely hungry people competed for the steamed buns that fell from the top of the city, and fought violently, and soon there were screams and blood flowed out.

It's like a dog snatching food, it's inhumane.

This situation is not uncommon in history.

In times of catastrophe, these gentry tyrants like to so-called charity to the common people.

On the surface, it looks like a show of kindness, but in fact it is to laugh at people and make fun of refugees.

Such is the nature of human beings.

There was laughter on the walls, joy in misery, that's all.

This is hateful and evil human nature without bottom line.

The boy threw down a few steamed buns, laughing and laughing, taking it as a pleasure.

The people who grabbed the steamed buns stuffed them into their mouths without hesitation, but the stones inside choked their throats.

In the struggle, he fell to the ground and lost his breath.

How could the starving people next to him care about this? They opened the mouth of the dead man, took out the steamed buns, and stuffed them into their own mouths.

Seeing this scene, the young man became angry.

"Damn beast, this is the hometown of the sage? All of them are beasts!"

Cursing angrily, he took out a short gun from his arms, raised his arm and shot it.

"Oh!"

The sound of gunfire crossed the sky, and the bullet passed through the space, hitting the boy of the Kong family in the forehead.

"Snapped!"

There was a blood hole in the back of his head, and he fell straight to the ground with a smile on his face.

The young man is a scout of the Third New Formation Army, with precise marksmanship and extraordinary strength.

In the new army, only scouts can be issued with firearms, and every scout is an existence beyond ordinary people.

The third new army has entered the territory of Shandong and is currently collecting information to prepare for the follow-up large-scale attack.

There was a commotion on the top of the city, and the death of a Kong family member was a big deal.

The boy didn't care about these, he put the short gun in his arms, and left with the refugees.

People have a herd mentality, and more and more people are following behind young people.

"what!!!"

The servant behind the young man of the Kong family looked at his master who fell straight on the ground and had no business, and panicked all of a sudden.

There was still a smile on the face of the corpse, but there was a big hole on the forehead, the brain was clearly visible, and the blood on the ground continued to spread.

The screams continued to resound, and the soldiers on the city wall rushed towards this side one after another.

The soldiers didn't know how the boy from the Sun family died. They were so far away that they really didn't know.

The weapons used by the scouts are short guns that Sun Jie asked the arsenal to manufacture for the scouts. It is a shortened 98k, which is more powerful than a pistol, but smaller than the traditional 98k.

The chaos outside the city, coupled with the sudden attack of the scouts, and the fact that these people on the top of the city have never seen such a thing, so they don't know how the young man of the Kong family died.

There were also knowledgeable people, the city guard officers on the city wall, who squatted down, inspected the hole on the forehead of the young man of the Kong family, and quickly came to a conclusion.

That is, the boy of the Kong family was killed by a firecracker.

This officer used to be an officer in Shandong and had used firecrackers.

However, he still has some doubts in his heart.

The hole on the boy's forehead is really too weird. If you want to make it look like this, you have to shoot at close range, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.

Suddenly, a terrifying thought rose in his mind.

"It is often said that Sun Bandit soldiers and horses are good at firearms. Could it be that Sun Bandit has arrived?!"

When the officer thought of this, cold sweat trickled down his forehead.

He hurriedly asked the soldiers on the top of the city to carry the body, and hurried down the city.

Not long after, the corpse was placed outside the Confucian mansion.

The huge Confucian mansion suddenly fell into chaos.

……

Yan Shenggong first appeared in the second year of Song Zhihe, and has been passed down to the present, and it has been around for 1000 years.

The Confucius family has been passed down from the Spring and Autumn Period to the present, and there have been more than 60 generations.

Today Yan Shenggong is the 64th generation grandson of Confucius. His name is Kong Yanzhi and his style name is Maojia.

The boy who died was Kong Xingyan, the son of Kong Yanzhi. Although he was not the eldest son, he was loved by Kong Yanzhi, otherwise he would not have gone to the city at will.

Kong Yanzhi still couldn't believe that the unrecognizable corpse lying in front of his house was his son.

It was fine when I went out this morning, why did it suddenly look like this?

How long has it been? How can people accept the separation of yin and yang?
His body trembled and he squatted down slowly.

Kong Xingyan's eyes were still open, and he could not rest in peace.In that hole in his forehead, blood was frozen inside.

The smell of blood rushed to the face, making people's stomachs turn over.

Kong Yanzhi touched Kong Xingyan's cold face, and finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"Son!"

A howl pierced the sky.

He has never seen the misery in the world, but today he feels the pain of bereavement in middle age.

He suffers too, he suffers too.

People's pessimism is not interlinked. Only when suffering befalls them will they realize how uncomfortable it is.

The members of the Kong family stood behind Kong Yanzhi, and they were as silent as if they were attending a funeral.

"Who did it?"

With a murderous look on his face, he looked at the officer not far away.

"I don't know, but from the looks of it, it should be the thief Sun!" the officer said cautiously.

"Grand thief?!"

Kong Yanzhi's heart skipped a beat, and the anger on his face began to disappear, replaced by panic.

At any rate, he is also the Patriarch of the Kong family, and at any rate he is also the present-day Duke Yan, with better information than ordinary people, so he naturally knows what is going on with Sun Jie.

"The situation at the time was like this..."

The officer explained in detail what happened just now.

Kong Yanzhi was silent and didn't say anything.

In essence, Yan Shenggong is no different from a scholar. What a scholar fears most is power and violence.

Although Kong Yanzhi has soldiers and horses in his hands, the scholar's personality is deeply rooted in him.

Sun Jie came all the way, sweeping the world, tyrannical and unparalleled.

Daming is not an opponent, so is he an opponent?
Kong Yanzhi panicked, and his face became gloomy. In a short period of time, he thought of many things.

He pulled up an army, but his main purpose was not to fight for the world.

From the very beginning, he never had the heart to fight for the world, and he didn't even want to be some kind of emperor.

All he wanted was to preserve the wealth and property of his Kong family in this troubled world.

Now it is different from the history. If the history has not changed, then the Kong family does not need to form an army like this time.

The situation in history is already very clear, there are only a few that can win the world, except for Li Zicheng, it is Jiannu, or it is Zhang Xianzhong and others.

After all, there are only a few of them, and the situation is still stable.

But now, since the ban on military training in various places was abolished, everything has become less clear.

Some people respect Confucianism, but that doesn't mean they respect the Confucian family. Maybe many people have already taken the idea of ​​the Confucian family.

Who made the Kong family the richest in Shandong?There are many poor people in the world. They have nothing to eat or wear. In order to survive, they naturally dare to kill their heads.

Rebellion is not a problem, wouldn't it be easy to handle the Kong family?

The biggest purpose of the army pulled out by the Kong family is to preserve their own glory and wealth.

Kong Yanzhi was still dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Period, thinking that he could keep the glory and wealth that had been passed down for hundreds of years in this troubled world.

But the death of his son was like a slap in the face.

The reality condescendingly told him Kong, don't dream, if you don't handle it well, all the wealth of your Kong family, all the people in your Kong family will be like your son.

Several years have passed since Sun Jie raised his army. As the family with the longest history in this land, he certainly knows what Sun Jie has done since he started his army, as well as Sun Jie's strength.

He didn't think that the army he pulled up was Sun Jie's opponent, and he didn't think that he could defend Qufu with his own family.

As a scholar, he doesn't know much about military affairs, but Sun Jie has never lost a single battle for so many years, and his strength is the number one army in the world.

Against such an enemy, the end is not very good.

Kong Yanzhi's thoughts were so chaotic that he couldn't even take care of his son's body.

He hastily asked for his son's body to be carried back to the Confucian mansion, and then he gathered those famous people in the Confucian family together to discuss countermeasures.

Although there is no accurate evidence that the person who killed his son was Sun Jae's, it doesn't matter anymore.

The Confucian mansion suddenly became chaotic.

"Backyard Flower" will eventually be sung, and even the best dreams will wake up.

……

A large-scale team walked quietly on the land of Shandong, and they walked firmly towards the north.

Several giant steel beasts appeared in the wind and snow, and the refugees in the team prostrated themselves on the ground, tremblingly looking at these giant beasts descending in front of them.

The headlights illuminate their bodies. They have never seen such a thing before, and they thought it was the eyes of a god.

Some soldiers jumped out of the car, followed by food relief for the refugees.

A mouthful of iron pots are supported in the wilderness, and they cook in the wind and snow.

These refugees finally had a full meal.

Replenishing their strength, they continued to head north amidst the snowstorm.

A huge team passed by the refugees.

The trucks pulled the soldiers, cutting through the wind and snow.

After discussion, the Kong family decided to send a troop north to check the situation.

An aristocratic family with literary heritage has almost no ability to train soldiers, and the soldiers and horses in their hands are basically commanded by local guard officers.

Bullying and bullying the local people, or bullying and bullying other guard soldiers is fine, but if you face Sun Jie, you may not even know how to write death.

These guard officers naturally knew that Sun Jie was powerful, and none of them wanted to go north.

As the saying goes, under the reward, there must be a brave man.

A guard officer named Wang Liancheng accepted the reward of 1000 taels of silver from the Kong family, and led [-] soldiers out of Qufu City, heading north.

This is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and regards money as his life.

It's just a joke to expect him to go to the north to investigate the situation in a regular manner.

After five miles out of the city, he stopped the soldiers and horses in his hands and set up camp in place.

Sitting in a warm tent, you should eat and drink, and don't care about anything.

He thought this position was very safe, but he didn't know that he had been targeted long ago.

The heavy snow stopped, and the field of vision gradually opened up.

The Third New Formation Army quietly completed the encirclement of him. After a burst of artillery, Wang Liancheng died in the tent holding the money given to him by the Kong family.

Everyone in the world likes money, but it is foolish to sacrifice one's life for money.

The third new army entered Shandong from Beiping Prefecture, passed through Dongchang and Dongping Prefectures, and then came to the city of Qufu.

Mainly responsible for the east-west line of Shanxi, because the place is small, and the defenders in Shandong are basically unbearable, so they arrived here soon.

He Qi, the commander of the Third New Army, stood on the ground plowed by the artillery fire, holding Wang Liancheng's bag of silver in his hand, with a lot of sneer on his face.

The soldiers under him also captured many prisoners, so he knew the origin of the money.

Along the way, he has seen many soldiers who are greedy for life and afraid of death.

But this is the first time I have seen such a person who regards money as his life and is willing to die for money.

Order the soldiers to take a proper rest and advance again two hours later.

The sky gradually darkened, and the headlights of cars spread far in the dark night.

Bright beams of light flickered continuously in the dark night.

The soldiers on top of Qufu City had panicked expressions on their faces.

For those who have never seen it before, these beams of light are visions from heaven.

"What is that?! What are these things?!"

On the city wall of Qufu, a soldier pointed to the beams of light that suddenly appeared to the north, and shouted in panic.

The soldiers on the city wall were instantly attracted by the lights.

"Is this a vision from heaven? Could it be, what does this represent?"

"Never seen anything like this!"

The soldiers on the city wall were chattering in an instant.

Human beings panic when faced with the unknown.

These have never seen these things, beyond their knowledge.

Panic began to spread on the top of the city, and the mob was terrified by the beam of light.

Kong Yanzhi, who had just fallen asleep, was woken up by his younger brother Kong Yanshu.

He hurriedly dressed and walked out of the bedroom.

"Brother, something has happened, something has happened, there is a vision outside the city wall, the soldiers on the city wall have already started to panic, you go and have a look.

If you don't take care of it in time, no one knows what the soldiers on the top of the city will do.

If they run away, they will run away. If the city gate is opened, then our Kong family will be completely finished. "

Kong Yanshu looked flustered, like a mouse seeing a cat.

"What vision? What's going on?!"
