Chapter 10 The robbery is going to be exposed?
"What offended them?"

Zhu Houzhao's words made Yan Shenggong Kong Hongtai fall into deep thought.

In his memory, there seems to be something like this.

"What? It's true!"

Noticing his expression, Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up slightly.

If the Kong family had conflicts with these private salt dealers, that would be really great, and there is no need to bring up their nonsensical reasons.

Isn't there a saying that tells a lie, and it takes tens of thousands of lies to fulfill the lie.

If you talk too much, you will lose, so telling less lies is the best choice to avoid giving away.

"It seems that there is such a thing."

Kong Hongtai replied uncertainly, and then looked at his elder brother Kong Hongxu.

"Brother, do you remember that girl Liu ten years ago?"

Kong Hongxu, who was also thinking, frowned even more when he heard his younger brother's question.

"You said yes, the wild girl who was involved with your second child."

Kong Hongtai had 5 sons, the one who was beaten by Zhang Yong was the youngest one.

The second son was also a romantic hero. When he came back from an outing, he brought a village girl with him and claimed that he would marry her.

What is the status of the Kong family, even though the second child is the second son, Kong Hongtai will not allow him to marry a wild girl.

In ancient times, filial piety was the most important, especially the Confucius family was stricter.

His father didn't allow it, Kong Hongtai's second son had no choice but to agree, and sent away the girl he promised to marry.

In the end, I don't know what happened. The girl who was driven away was found dead in a small forest a few miles away from Kong's house the next day.

The appearance of his death was very miserable, his whole body was naked and his hands and feet were broken. According to the investigation, he was humiliated and tortured to death.

The second son of the Kong family, who was guilty of driving away the other party, got angry at his awe-inspiring father for the first time. The two fathers and sons had a big fight, and Kong Hongtai shut him up angrily, and it took nearly two years before he was released.

After some inquiries, I learned that the girl's surname was Liu, and she was the daughter of a kitchen household who produced salt for the imperial court.

After all, this girl is his son's sweetheart. Although Kong Hongtai didn't like her status, but considering his own son's feelings, he ordered someone to restrain the girl's body and send it to his home, and gave him some money as a dismissal up.

At that time, the family was crying so heartbroken that they didn't dare to say anything because they were afraid of the Kong family. Only his young brother shouted that he would avenge his sister.

The steward who was sent there slapped the little guy, and when he came back, he told Kong Hongtai the incident as a joke.

Kong Hongtai didn't care too much, it was just a small ant, and compared with the huge monster of the Kong family, it was nothing like a fart.

As for the threat of revenge, hehe, there are many people who want to kill the Kong family. Isn't the Kong family still living well now?

As long as the imperial court respected Confucianism, the status of the Confucian family would not fall for a day.

After so many years, when Zhu Houzhao mentioned that he could still remember clearly, it was not because the old man had a good memory, but because when he was restraining the body of his second son just now, he saw the sachet his son was wearing.

That sachet was given to her son by the girl surnamed Liu back then.

My son has been wearing it for so many years, but his heart for that girl has not changed.

Seeing things and thinking about people, he remembered what happened back then.

It is precisely because of this that Zhu Houzhao's mention just now reminded him of such a trivial matter.

In addition, among the people who died yesterday, his second son was the last to be killed, and he was stabbed straight into the heart, unlike other people who were hacked to death with a sword.

According to Zhang Yong's analysis, coupled with the speculation in his heart, Kong Hongtai suspected that the bandits who came last night were probably the kid from the stove back then, who came to avenge his sister.

The other party's robbery of Kong's family may be a cover, the main purpose is to kill his second son and several of them, and avenge his sister's blood.

The reason why he thought so definitely was mainly because of the status of the Kong family.

Even if ordinary people are greedy for money, as long as they are not lunatics, they will not dare to attack the Kong family's idea at all.

But it's different if there is a deep hatred. People can do anything for revenge.

If this is really the reason, then what happened yesterday was not caused by money or other things.

After listening to Kong Hongtai's narration, Zhu Houzhao and Zhang Yong looked at each other in blank dismay.

Good guy, there are so many stories in the rich mansion, such bloody things have happened.

Zhu Houzhao seems to have watched the plot of a wealthy young master falling in love with a peasant girl on a certain Bangzi country TV series.

It's no wonder those stickmen of later generations took such good photos. It seems that they really studied Confucian culture seriously.

Seriously, even the gossip about the Kong family has been studied. It is estimated that those plots were adapted according to this story.

Well it happened though!What a wonderful thing happened, what a wonderful croak!

The prepared script can be thrown away, and the new script, The Revenge of the Hot-Blooded Boy, has officially started.

"Zhang Yong!"

Zhu Houzhao gave a soft drink.

"The servant is here!"

Zhu Houzhao pointed at him and ordered: "You go and bring someone to check immediately, and you must check everything!"

Zhu Houzhao's tone became a little bit more serious when he saw the four words clearly.

Zhang Yong understood instantly that Zhu Houzhao was planning to kill this matter completely.

"Slaves take orders!"

Kong Hongtai couldn't remember where the Zaohu family surnamed Liu was, and the steward also died of illness a few years ago.

Later, through his son's mouth, he asked about the general direction of the Liu family.

Coincidentally, Liujiazao's family belonged to An Dongwei.

Zhu Houzhao then ordered Zhang Yong to take someone to check, and by the way, send the prepared money to Cousin Gao Feng to make preparations, and he will arrive later.

Just when Zhu Houzhao ordered Zhang Yong to put the case to death and was about to start making a fortune, Yang Tinghe hurried back to the capital.

When he returned to the capital, he didn't go to Zhu Youtang immediately.

Teachers also have skills in reporting to parents. Parents must make judgments about what they believe or not.

It has to be said that Zhu Houzhao's disguise was very good. If the Kong family hadn't happened to make him suspicious, in his mind, Zhu Houzhao would still be an obedient, sensible, and good-looking baby who loves to learn.

This is not only Yang Tinghe who thinks so, but all the lecturers in the court who give Zhu Houzhao's lectures think so.

Many officials praised in private that Zhu Houzhao has the virtue of benevolence and will become a wise king in the future.

This kind of thinking is everywhere in the court. He ran to his father and said that your son is always pretending to be a robber. Zhu Youtang will definitely slap him to death.

Zhu Houzhao is his pride, and he will never allow anyone to slander his son like this.

Just because of this consideration, Yang Tinghe did not go to Zhu Youtang early, but first went to the three bachelors, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian, to discuss what to do.

It just so happened that these three people were also one of Zhu Houzhao's lecturers, and they were all teachers. They should communicate first, think about what to do, and then go to the parents.

"Three brothers, something happened!"

As soon as Yang Tinghe entered the cabinet, he yelled something that stunned the three of them.

The slow-tempered Li Dongyang looked at Yang Tinghe who walked in hurriedly, sorted out the memorial in front of him unhurriedly, and asked doubtfully, "Jiefu, what happened to make you so panicked."

The other two also looked at Yang Tinghe curiously.

Although anxious, Yang Tinghe drove out all the officials and eunuchs who were supporting the cabinet and closed the door.

Seeing its appearance like this, the three of them became even more puzzled, and at the same time their hearts slowly tightened.

Yang Tinghe went to Qufu with the Crown Prince, and has not received any news of the Crown Prince's return in the past two days.

The other party came back in such a hurry today, and said that there was something to do as soon as he opened his mouth, could it be the prince...

Thinking of this, the three of them trembled in their hearts. That was the crown prince they had grown up with, but the emperor's only child.

If something happened to the crown prince, it would be no wonder that the whole world would not be in chaos.

The more he thought about it, the more disturbed the three felt. Liu Jian closed his eyes in pain and covered his chest, preparing for the worst news.

After confirming that no one was eavesdropping, Yang Tinghe came to the three of them, Weiyu swallowed first, and whispered in a voice that only the three of them could hear: "The Kong family in Qufu was robbed by bandits, killing and injuring more than a hundred people. Countless goods were lost, and the four sons of Lord Yan Sheng and the two sons of Mr. Kong Hongxu and Mr. Kong also died in this catastrophe."

"what!"

"how is this possible!"

"Who is so bold!"

Yang Tinghe's words made the three of them jump up in fright. Li Dongyang, who has always been steady, also slapped the table angrily.

But while the three of them were angry, they also breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not that something happened to the prince.

Yang Tinghe stretched out his hand to keep the three of them quiet. He swallowed again, and even subconsciously looked outside the door. After confirming that Luo Xiang, who was called away by the queen, had not returned, he said to the three of them in a lower voice: " I suspect that the prince did this!"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian froze in place for an instant, staring blankly at Yang Tinghe, speechless for a long time!
