Yan Shenggong Mansion has been rooted in Qufu for thousands of years, and in terms of influence, it has become a country within a country.
Now, Jin Yiwei's house was ransacked. Once the news spread, the people of Qufu were shocked.
As a result, more and more people came to watch the excitement, not only from nearby, but also from a little further away, people from all over the country came over.
However, when they saw the Jin Yiwei with the knife, they did not dare to approach and only watched from a distance.
However, Jin Yiwei's next operation made everyone confused.
Outside the gate of Confucius Mansion, someone moved tables and chairs, and soon a temporary lobby was set up.
Then, the tied-up Kong Chengqing was held down and fell to his knees.
Zhu Ji sat in front of the hall and said: "Fellow fellows, Jinyiwei is ordered to judge Yan Shenggong's mansion for long-term oppression of the people. If you have any grievances, feel free to come and complain!"
The common people didn't know why. After all, some people stepped forward boldly, but found that these officers and soldiers did not stop them, so they became bolder and came closer.
Zhu Ji added: "Don't be afraid, no matter what happens, Jin Yiwei will make the decision for you!"
Everyone suddenly looked at each other, who should be avenged?
At this time, someone in the crowd asked: "Sir, I would like to ask, what kind of official are you?"
"The Jin Yiwei directs the affairs."
"Which is more important, commanding Qian, or Yan Shenggong?"
Zhu Ji had no choice but to say: "Of course he is the Duke of the country, but the Jin Yiwei is a personal soldier of the emperor. Even if he is the Duke of the country, as long as he violates the laws of the Ming Dynasty, he will have to pay the price!"
"But, your official is not as big as yours, have you tried it?"
Zhu Jizheng didn't know how to explain, so Li Zhen came up and patted him on the shoulder.
"Come on, let's change."
Zhu Ji understood and stood up, while Li Zhen sat down.
"Dear fellow villagers, let me introduce myself first. My surname is Li Mingzhen. I am Duke Rui Guo of the Ming Dynasty given by the emperor. Today I am here to interrogate this Duke Yansheng. What do you think?"
The common people didn't know who Duke Rui was, so they all looked at him with suspicion.
Some people who were watching the excitement and did not mind the matter cheered: "They are all princes of the country, of course there is no problem!"
"Haha!"
Li Zhen laughed, then waved to the crowd in the distance and said: "Don't stay so far away. If you want to see the excitement, come here and watch. Come on, come closer!"
After the people gathered around, Li Zhen continued: "It is said that the Kong family has done a lot of outrageous things over the years. Today, one of them counts as one, and one of them counts as one. Today we will give him a clear trial.
After the trial is over, it will be presented to the emperor, and then the emperor will personally punish him for the crimes of the Kong family!"
When the people heard this, they immediately became silent.
I was just watching the fun, but I didn't expect that they would be interrogated in public.
It is true that the Kong family has done a lot of bullying and domination over women over the years. However, they are the descendants of Yanshenggong, the most holy teacher, and the number one scholar in the world. Even if they have done some dirty things secretly,
, so what?
Therefore, when Zhu Ji initially said that he wanted to be interrogated, the people did not take it seriously.
Your official is not a big one, have you tried it?
The common people don't know anything about royal guards. They only know whoever has a high official position is powerful.
Now that another prince has appeared, everyone feels that he is about to take action.
"I want to redress my grievance. My mother-in-law was snatched away by Yan Shenggong and forced to death. I want to sue him!"
Finally, someone stood up.
Li Zhen immediately became interested and ordered the clerk on the side: "Write it all down, don't leave a word behind!"
…………
Jining Prefecture has already exploded.
First, the magistrate of Qufu was lost inexplicably, and then, in the middle of the night, he started shooting directly with guns and cannons.
Immediately afterwards, news came from Qufu that Duke Yansheng’s mansion had been raided!
The prefect Luo Jindong is going crazy!
He felt that there was only one question left in his head, what on earth is this world...
When he arrived in Qufu after a long journey, he saw an incredible scene at the gate of Duke Yansheng's Mansion.
The people were lining up to sue Yan Shenggong for how he annexed land, bullied men and women, set up private torture chambers, and took care of people's lives...
Not long ago, I accepted five projects, but later I found some reasons to reject them.
Unexpectedly, people came here to complain again.
But, what right do you, Jinyiwei, have to interrogate Shenggong?
You can take the person back and hand it over to the Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate or the Dali Temple for trial. You are just an arrester, and at most you torture the person and ask for a few confessions.
Nowadays, a private execution hall is set up in a grand manner, and the trial is started directly without going through the county or government offices, let alone the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Is this okay?
"Next!"
Li Zhen tried more than a dozen cases yesterday and became numb.
As a result, more people came today!
"Tell me, what's the grievance?"
Li Zhen looked up and saw an official standing in front of her.
"You are..."
"I'm Luo Jindong, the prefect of Jining!"
"Oh..."
Li Zhen nodded and asked: "You also want to sue the Kong family?"
"I...hum!"
Luo Jindong almost fainted from anger. How did you know that I was here to redress a grievance?
"Jin Yiwei set up a private torture chamber here. What crime should he be guilty of?"
Only then did Li Zhen realize that she was not complaining, but was here to investigate.
"No, that... who are you?"
"I, I..."
Luo Jindong almost fainted from anger. After a while, he said: "I am an official of the imperial court, how can I be humiliated by you? Just wait, I will sue you in front of the emperor!"
"Okay, I made a mistake, you are not a thing, is that okay?"
"You have no laws and humiliate the imperial officials. Come on, take it down for me!"
"Wait!"
Li Zhen was not afraid of him, but worried that if he took action, one of her people would accidentally kill the prefect.
"Do you recognize me?"
"I am not familiar with Jin Yiwei!"
"You got me wrong, I'm not from Jinyiwei."
"Oh? Then you are..."
"My dear Li Zhen, I have been rewarded by the emperor and commanded three thousand battalions. You can also call me... Duke Rui Guo!"
Luo Jindong was stunned for a moment. Commander of the Three Thousand Battalion, Mr. Rui Guogong, Li Zhen?
He quickly thought about it in his mind. It is said that the Three Thousand Battalion is a force brought out by the emperor himself, the elite of the Beijing camp. They came to Qufu to show that... all this is the emperor's intention!
"I have met Mr. Rui Guogong!"
"This is right!"
Li Zhen nodded and said: "Since you still understand the rules, I'll give you a chance. You should be very clear about what problems the Kong family has. Whether you side with the Kong family or the emperor, it's up to you."
!"
Luo Jindong was furious, why should we choose?
All fools know that you cannot offend the emperor!
Although the Kong family is also very important, if you offend the Kong family, your career will at best be unsatisfactory. If you offend the emperor, you will have to consider what kind of pregnancy you will have.
"Xiaguan has a few cases in his hands, all of which accuse the Confucius family. However, Xiaguan came in a hurry..."
"It doesn't matter, you go back now and bring me all the information about the Kong family!"
