Chapter 209 An eagle dog should look like an eagle dog
Having said this, it is equivalent to completely breaking up.
Kong Yanjin regained his aloof look and said: "Then please ask Commander Yuan to put out the coffin. If the Jin Yiwei thinks that the government is weak and can be bullied, and thinks that the Kong family can be slaughtered at will, then I'll do as you please."
! However, I would like to give you a piece of advice: Commander Yuan still has a bright future, so don’t make the mistake of yourself.”
Yuan Bin knew in his heart that according to the current situation, he couldn't even think of asking anything.
Kong Yanjin has no fear at all, so asking is in vain.
He even looked impatient and was ready to leave.
Yuan Bin sneered and said: "This is an imperial case, so..."
"Since it's an imperial case, let the emperor ask him face to face. Come to think of it, Jin Yiwei doesn't seem to be qualified yet!"
Kong Yanjin had completely lost his patience. He thought that when he came to the capital, to Fusi, Beizhen, Yuan Bin would first ask him to sit down, pour himself tea with a smile, apologize first, and then ask him nicely.
A trivial question.
Of course, I have to show my due generosity. There is no need to be as knowledgeable as these people. However, as the number one scholar in the world, I must stand on a moral level and give Jin Yiwei some advice.
Who would have thought that this guy didn't seem to have a clear mind and actually immediately assumed the posture of interrogation!
Can you judge me, the dignified Duke Yan, the most holy teacher?
Kong Yanjin suddenly felt that there was no need to be polite to this person anymore, so he said calmly: "If the commander insists on asking questions, then I will tell you the truth. You are like a hawk. Others are afraid of you. I
But don’t take it seriously!”
"It's getting late..."
After that, he stood up calmly without hesitation.
However, before I finished speaking, I felt like my eyes were blurred.
Just when he had a look of astonishment on his face, he didn't even react...
Bang!
A huge force came from his chest, Yuan Bin's face was as cold as frost, he raised his legs and kicked him out.
Kong Yanjin had no time to hide, and he didn't expect that the other party would be so domineering.
This kick was so strong that every old bone in his body seemed to be falling apart.
He scrambled to his feet, feeling the blood rising in his chest, and shouted: "Shu Zi... Shu Zi'an dare..."
It seemed that the pain was severe. In the middle of the sentence, he squatted down holding his stomach, with an extremely distorted expression on his face.
The dignified Duke Yansheng, since the day he was born, where have you ever suffered such grievances?
On weekdays, even if I fall down while walking on the road, there are several people standing by to help me.
At this time, his expression was painful, but more importantly, he was surprised, frightened, and angry!
Yuan Bin took two steps forward and walked in front of Kong Yanjin. Kong Yanjin subconsciously stepped back, as if he wanted to stay away from Yuan Bin.
However, he immediately reacted, stopped and glared at Yuan Bin.
Yuan Bin said with a ferocious smile: "You called me a hawk, right?"
Kong Yanjin finally felt fear in his heart at this time, and shouted: "Yuan Bin, do you know what you are doing? You have to pay the price for what you did today!"
But Yuan Bin suddenly took action, grabbed his bun, and said fiercely: "Since you are an eagle dog, then do what an eagle dog should do!"
Kong Yanjin almost suffocated and was about to resist when suddenly his vision went dark, and then he felt a heartbreaking pain in his nose!
Poof...
Yuan Bin struck very hard. With this punch, the bridge of his nose was shattered and blood immediately flowed out.
Kong Yanjin wailed in pain: "You...you..."
"You are so shameless. What kind of place do you think this is? Do you think it is your Kong Mansion? And who do you think I, Yuan Bin, am, who called you here just to chat with you? Didn't you say I am
Is it an eagle dog? Yes, I am an eagle dog. I am the emperor’s eagle dog, specially designed to deal with you self-righteous scoundrels!"
The word "shabi" was learned from the emperor. It is simple, clear and easy to understand.
Normally, he restrains himself because it is the emperor's exclusive term and he dare not use it casually, but today, he couldn't help but say it. This feeling... is very refreshing!
Kong Yanjin covered his nose. At this time, blood flowed out from his fingers like a spring.
He screamed hysterically: "You...are simply an insult to elegance, an insult to elegance..."
But at this moment, Yuan Bin punched him again.
Bang!
This punch hit his right eye socket, and Kong Yan almost fainted with a scream.
"You... are so presumptuous, so presumptuous! I want to see the emperor..."
Bang!
This punch hit the left eye socket.
Kong Yanjin felt that his eyes were almost so painful that he could not open them. He could vaguely see that Yuan Bin, who had tried his best to endure it and behaved politely just now, was now like a long sword unsheathed, full of murderous aura, especially
Those eyes are filled with unspeakable cruelty.
With his glance, he is like a hungry wolf staring at its prey!
Kong Yanjin shuddered involuntarily and said tremblingly: "You... how dare you hit me!"
Yuan Bin laughed loudly and said: "Who are you, why can't you hit me?"
"You..."
Yuan Bin lifted him up with a strong lift. Kong Yanjin was dragged out of the lobby like a dead dog.
"Preparation for the torture chamber, let this evil pen see what an eagle dog is!"
All this was so unexpected that Kong Yanjin was frightened to the extreme, and he still said harshly: "Do you know the consequences..."
Yuan Bin dragged him to the execution room and threw him on the ground.
Kong Yanjin tried his best to open his swollen eyes and looked around. The captain in charge of the punishment stood aside with a fierce expression. The atmosphere here was obviously completely different from just now.
Yuan Bin sat on the chair carelessly, but now he was not so excited.
He picked up the prepared hot tea, took a sip, and then said slowly: "Have you ever heard that you can walk out of Zhao Prison safe and sound? Don't you want to see the coffin? Someone, bring it up!" "Yes!"
Immediately afterwards, a man covered in blood was seen being dragged over by two captains.
These people had almost no skin on their bodies, but they didn't react at all. They seemed to have lost all sense of pain, and were just abandoned in the room like dead dogs.
Kong Yanjin raised his eyes and looked carefully, but he couldn't tell who these people were. Suddenly, he reacted and was shocked.
Yuan Bin said lightly: "Kong Yanjin, do you recognize this person?"
"Kong Zhiping...how, how could this happen?"
Kong Yanjin couldn't help but shudder. The tortured and inhuman figure in front of him was none other than Kong Zhiping, whom he sent to Yu County.
At this time, Kong Zhiping finally reacted. When he saw that it was Kong Yanjin who had arrived in person, he suddenly trembled with excitement and shouted feebly: "Shenggong, save me, save me..."
Yuan Bin waved his hand again, and the two captains dragged Kong Zhiping down again. Kong Zhiping struggled and shouted: "Save me, save me..."
Immediately afterwards, a school captain came forward, took a stack of confessions, and handed them to Kong Yanjin.
Kong Yanjin's eyes were red and swollen, and after a few hard glances, he couldn't help but look horrified.
The above is Kong Zhiping's confession, but it is not about education in Yu County, but about colluding with others and selling private salt.
Throughout the feudal dynasty, the salt industry has always been a hugely profitable industry, usually strictly controlled by the government, and smuggling salt has become a very risky but profitable business.
During the Song Dynasty, there was even a phenomenon of civilians gathering together with weapons to buy and sell private salt. The salt gangs at that time not only had a certain number of weapons, but had even formed a large-scale army. They often fought in local places, oppressed the people, and even even the government
Don't take it lightly, it has become a great threat to the court.
Later, many salt gangs began to openly oppose the imperial rule. Even Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang received support from the salt gangs at the beginning of his uprising.
But who is Zhu Yuanzhang? How can he let others walk the same path he has walked?
Therefore, the laws of the Ming Dynasty stipulate that private sales of salt are strictly prohibited. If caught, severe punishment will be imposed.
In Kong Zhiping's confession, he admitted that he was involved in selling illegal salt, and identified that the biggest beneficiary was Kong Yanjin, Duke Yansheng, while the main person in charge of the illegal salt business was Kong Yanjin's son-in-law Zhai Zongxi.<
/p>
"You guys are...subduing yourself into submission!"
Yuan Bin smiled faintly and said: "You said that surrender and beating can make a move, do you mean that surrender and beating can make a move?"
"You... must have been beaten into submission..."
"Come on!"
Yuan Bin waved his hand again and ordered: "Bring it up!"
Another unkempt man covered in blood was dragged and came to Kong Yanjin.
Kong Yanjin looked intently. Although the man had been tortured into a human shape, he could still tell that it was his son-in-law Zhai Zongxi.
At this time, he was horrified. Didn't Zhai Zongxi go to Jiangnan to discuss business? When was he captured by Jin Yiwei?
Moreover, with such a big thing happening, why is there no news at all from the Zhai family?
The Zhai family is a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River. There are children in the family who have been officials for many generations. It is precisely because of this that they are qualified to marry the Kong family.
Zhai Zongxi has been smart since he was a child, and soon became a scholar in high school. After that, he won the imperial examination again.
Although he did not pass the Jinshi examination, he was extremely talented in business. Over the years, he traveled here and there and earned at least one hundred thousand taels of silver every year, half of which was paid to the Confucius Mansion. Of course, Kong Yanjin did not know anything about what kind of business Zhai Zongxi was doing.
Can an ordinary business earn so much money?
This involves government-owned goods such as salt and iron. In the eyes of others, it seems to be an untouchable forbidden area. However, the Kong family does not take it seriously at all.
It's normal for the Holy Master to sell some private salt or something...
Moreover, our Kong family is not the only one engaged in this kind of business. At least half of the salt in the world is smuggled out.
Needless to say, anyone who dares to do this business must have inextricable connections with officials in the DPRK and China.
Which local government dares not to give face to the Kong family?
Therefore, no matter where Zhai Zongxi goes, it is always smooth.
But now, this person appears in Zhao Prison, with barely a piece of intact flesh visible all over his body.
Zhai Zongxi also seemed to recognize Kong Yanjin, his empty eyes finally showed the light of hope, and he wailed: "Master Taishan, save me, save me..."
But all Kong Yanjin had was fear. His body was trembling involuntarily and he was clenching his teeth.
Yuan Bin came to him and said slowly: "Your son-in-law, Chenglong Kuai, has already confessed. Over the years, he has handled many businesses in the Kong family. The law of the Ming Dynasty clearly stipulates that those who sell illegal salt must be beheaded."
!"
Kong Yanjin looked horrified and didn’t know what to do.
Yuan Bin continued: "Isn't the Confucian government responsible for education? Well, today we will talk about education again. The Confucian government is a model of morality and righteousness. The word loyalty and righteousness also comes from your ancestors. But now it is openly against the court and selling private goods.
How can salt serve as an example for scholars all over the world?"
Kong Yanjin replied in a panic: "I don't ask about this... business matters. This... I really don't know, I don't know..."
Yuan Bin showed a sneer on his face and said: "Three months ago, I think the Kong family must have heard about the White Lotus Rebellion case and the Jiangnan smuggling case? Your son-in-law not only confessed to selling illicit salt all year round, but also confessed to identifying him with
There are many people involved in the White Lotus Sect and the Jiangnan smuggling case, and most of them came from the instructions of you, Yan Shenggong. How to explain this?"
"I, I...impossible, this is all his own initiative, I have never done this..."
Kong Yanjin quickly denied it, fearing that he would be convicted if it was too late.
Yuan Bin ignored it at all and continued: "Do you know how the imperial court dealt with the rebels? The White Lotus Sect and the Japanese pirates joined forces, and tens of thousands of troops were wiped out in an instant. There were countless gentry officials smuggling in the south of the Yangtze River, so what?
How about it? The emperor gave the order and everything was chopped like melons and vegetables!"
"The Imperial Guards are the emperor's own soldiers. My words and deeds, Yuan Bin, represent the emperor's will. Who do you think you are? How many servants do you have, or how many soldiers and horses do you have? How dare you go against the emperor? Today's summons
You, I originally wanted to save you some dignity, but you don’t know what is good or bad, and act wantonly in front of me. Do you really think that you can be lawless just because you hold the title of Duke Yan?"
"Since you are so ungrateful, you can't blame others. Now the Zhai family has confiscated a large amount of gold, silver and evidence. The case is complete with both witnesses and evidence. It's a certainty. You don't say anything, but you don't care.
There are so many people who don’t speak up. There are not many people in the world who confess here. After all, they are just dishonest, like your son-in-law..."
Yuan Bin pointed his finger at Zhai Zongxi and said: "Stay here for a while, and I'll make sure that even if your biological father wants to rebel, you will confess. You are now guilty of the crime. How dare you come here?"
With the score in front of me, do you think Jin Yiwei is the one who started the charity?"
At this time, Kong Yanjin had long lost his previous posture, his face was full of terror, and his soul was in disarray.
Yuan Bin's words have made it very clear. First, this is the emperor's intention. Second, Jin Yiwei can do whatever it takes.
However, I am here to reason, and I adhere to the principle of making noises as little as possible without making a move. How could I know that when someone comes up and slaps me in the face, who can bear it...
