Chen Zhi was right. The old man in front of him was Kong Shoucheng, the famous patriarch and direct descendant of the Kong family.
In modern history, Kong Shoucheng is considered a legendary figure.
At that time, during the war, the Chinese people still had a very strong sense of etiquette from the feudal dynasty, and they still respected the teachings of Confucius and Mencius. The direction of public opinion and scholars at that time still followed the Confucius family.
At that time, Kong Shoucheng, as the direct patriarch of the Kong family, had great spiritual power!!
During the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese invaded Qufu, Shandong Province.
He attached great importance to the control of the Kong family, and sent many commissioners successively, using both soft and hard tactics on the Kong family, hoping to keep the Kong family in the hands of the Japanese.
At that time, Shandong's artillery fire was under the power of the powerful. The people felt that they were facing death every day and were in fear every night. The pressure of that era was unimaginable by modern people.
Under this situation, rumors soon spread that an important figure in the Kong family had secretly met with the Japanese and was trying to flatter him.
This rumor was later completely overturned by the Kong family.
The Kuomintang secretly took Kong Shoucheng to Chongqing and then sent him to Taiwan.
Later, Kong Shoucheng made a public statement that he would rather die than become a slave to the subjugation of his country, supported the anti-Japanese resistance, and vowed not to cooperate with the Japanese to the death.
These impassioned anti-Japanese speeches greatly boosted the aspirations of the Chinese people at that time and stabilized the Kong family's status in the hearts of the Chinese people.
Along with the news release, there are also several photos of Kong Shoucheng.
Chen Zhi has seen these photos. Although the years have passed and the vicissitudes have gone through, when he sees Kong Shoucheng's face again, Chen Zhi can still recognize his identity...
Now Kong Shoucheng is no longer as heroic as he was when he was young. He is very old, with withered teeth and gray hair.
The eyes are cloudy, with blurry liquid in the corners of the eyes.
But his spirit is still very strong, his eyes are bright, his speech is clear, and he seems not confused at all...
"Hey, old man, you are quite scary!!!",
When Fat Wei heard Chen Zhi call him this, he realized that the person in front of him was the legendary Kong Shoucheng.
"Didn't you die in Taiwan?
My dear, your funeral was very grand. Many important people at home and abroad attended and paid homage to you.
I also gave you many posthumous titles, such as Wenyuan Shigong... I can't even remember it.
Why are you here again now? Are you pretending to be dead?!!!
You are really quite cheerful, pretending to be dead and scaring us uneducated people, right?"
"me……",
Kong Shoucheng was very panicked and kept looking at the door, as if he wanted to ask for help.
But Fat Wei put an end to this idea.
Due to security issues during the trip, they didn't bring anyone with them this time.
Each person only brought one electrified stick. The stick was made of hard steel and could emit tens of thousands of volts when connected to electricity.
Just this thing is enough to kill this old man ten times.
Fat Wei moved the stick forward and said to Kong Shoucheng with a smile:
"Old man, don't be confused!
Don't shout, otherwise not only your old life, but also your eldest grandson's life will be at stake!!
You can see now that our brothers have no grudge against you, we are just here to ask for help!
After begging, we will leave!!
If you yell, you will force us to take action.
To tell you the truth, we can’t even count the lives lost at the hands of our brothers. If you don’t believe me, just try..."
"You..., what exactly are you asking for?",
This Kong Shoucheng might really be old. His whole body was trembling like leaves in the wind. He pointed at Chen Zhi and Pang Wei with his dead tree-like fingers.
"If you want money, the safe is in front, go get it!
Money is the most common thing in the world, I will never keep it to myself, just take it, I won’t call the police!!"
"Old man, what we are here to ask for is not money! We are asking a person..."
At this time, Chen Zhi saw that the old man had calmed down a little, so he approached Kong Shoucheng, trying to keep his tone gentle so as not to scare the very old man into fainting.
"As my friend said, we are not enemies, and we are not here to take your life.
But there is no need for you to ask who we are.
I just want to ask you a few questions now. After you answer me, we will leave and have nothing to do with each other from now on. Do you think that's okay?"
""well!!
If you have any doubts, just ask me!!
As long as I know it, I will definitely tell you.",
Kong Shoucheng became a little calmer after hearing this, and then pointed to the door again,
"Child, it is not easy to be born! Cherish yourself!!
After you finish asking, leave!! Otherwise, if they catch you, you will go to jail!!"
"good!!",
Chen Zhi then began to ask:
"I want to ask you about a person. You should recognize this person. He is also from your Kong family. His name is Kong Qinghan.
Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, I once served as the second head of the Confucius Mansion."
"What!" When Kong Shoucheng heard this name, his whole body trembled as if he had been electrocuted.
Obviously this question made him very shocked, but he did not answer immediately. His chaotic eyes lowered,
"I'm old, many people can't remember it, and there are many people in our Kong family~~
Don't worry, I'll go back and look for it in the family tree!"
"Old man, this person is going to be in the family tree, do we still need to come to you?",
Fat Wei said anxiously next to him:
"To tell you the truth, I have almost memorized the genealogy of your Kong family.
There is no such person as Kong Qinghan at all!!
This is what we came to ask you about. Since he once served as the second boss in your place, why is it not recorded in the family tree?
Even if you make a big mistake, you shouldn’t do it!!!”
"Oh, that's it!" Kong Shoucheng seemed to be really old. It was very difficult to listen to every word. He coughed twice, slowly got up from the bed, and said in a weak voice:
"Wait a minute, I have a birth chart in my hand, and all the children born in the Kong family are recorded on it.
It's in the cabinet in front, wait while I look for it."
Hearing what Kong Shoucheng said, Chen Zhi and Pang Wei looked at each other and made way for him.
I saw this shriveled and thin old man getting out of bed tremblingly and touching towards the window.
There was indeed an old wooden cabinet there. The door was unlocked and I didn't know what was inside.
I saw Kong Shoucheng shivering as he climbed onto the cabinet, stepped on it with all his strength, then lay on the window sill and jumped down.
Fortunately, Pang Wei was very clever and flew over in one step and grabbed him quickly:
"Hey, let me go~~~~, old man, what are you doing? Why do you want to jump off the building?
I said people are getting older, why are they always like this?
We are bad people, do you still want to play tricks with us?"
"Let go!",
Kong Shoucheng then shouted, his eyebrows turned red, and he no longer looked as weak as before.
The tearing sound was terrifying:
"What kind of scoundrels are you asking for trouble?
It is definitely not an ordinary person who can enter my house.
You are all ghosts, you came to collect debts from me on behalf of that wronged ghost~~"
[An idea is to promote it on Douyin, and then sell some peripheral products, such as red medicine and spiritual stone bracelets. You can also build a Taobao store for the brand through Fateful Hall.
Interested book fans contact me and ask to know how to do Douyin. It is best to have successful cases.
I can license it to you and give you all the profits. It’s mainly for fun. I think it’s really interesting to make it.]
