The back garden of Yanshenggong Mansion was overhauled twice during the Chu Dynasty. It is a coincidence that the two reorganizations were designed by the chief minister of the Chu Dynasty at that time for the Kong family supervisor. At that time, they were both the crown prince's tutor, the Minister of Personnel, the Grand Secretary of the Huagai Palace, and the President of the National History.

Today, this back garden covers an area of ​​more than ten acres, including mountains, water, forests, curved bridges, flower docks, water pavilions, fountains, stone islands in the water, flower halls for the cool flower, stone altars for the gods, moon-watching terraces, and incense-burning bookstores.

However, on this day, there were shouts in the back garden from time to time.

"It's a thief..."

"There are assassins..."

At this time, most people did not take the matter too seriously.

I guess it was just a thief. With the garrison of the Holy Mansion, I believe that the bandits can be killed soon.

At this time, Wang Xiao had already taken his men through the back garden and arrived near the building in the backyard. Hearing the shouts, he glanced around calmly and ordered: "Send a signal to inform a thousand people outside the city to come in."

"yes."

"Bang!" The cannon exploded in the air.

They no longer hide their paths and take a detour. When they met a servant guard, they rushed up and waved their swords to kill them. Seeing blood, the maids and mothers in the yard began to scream, running around like a poked honeycomb.

"Fast speed! Kill Kong Yinzhi first."

When I walked forward around the building, I saw Zhuang Xiaoyun leading a few people to run towards me.

"Reported that Kong Yinzhi should be still in the front yard and has not seen him come back."

This was Wang Xiao’s expected result and said, “I know, I’m sure it’s in the front yard.”

Zhuang Xiaoyun didn't squat at the same time, and he looked at Huazhi with regret.

Huazhi didn't see him at all, and was whispering to Tang Qianqian: "I just saw several treasures and turned around and divided things. Can that big mirror be given to me?"

"What are the points? You should be the rebel army that was still in the past..."

Wang Xiao didn't hear their whispers and said to Zhuang Xiaoyun: "You go and transfer 300 people to block the backyard, don't let someone escape with their belongings."

Most of the backyards were female relatives. After making random arrangements, Wang Xiao led Liu Yikou and more than 30 people to continue moving forward.

Turning over a bead door in front of me, I suddenly heard a child screaming.

The group rushed over quickly. Liu Yi looked at him and saw a child about ten years old running in front of him. He was overjoyed.

"There is there! It's Kong Yinzhi's son."

"Catch him."

...

Kong Xingxie suddenly saw the body at home. Although he was so scared that he screamed, he quickly calmed down.

He didn't expect that Wang Xiao was coming to deal with the Kong family. First, he said when he heard Kong Xing's report that Wang Xiao was still in a coma, and second, he didn't think Wang Xiao would do this at all.

As for other people who have to deal with the Kong family, there is no such thing.

After thinking about it, it must have been a thief.

Thinking of this, Kong Xingxie quickly asked someone to inform his father and ran to the backyard to find his mother.

After only a few steps, I suddenly saw more than thirty people turning out from the front, carrying a knife, with blood on it.

Kong Xingxie was stunned for a moment before he realized, turned around and ran away.

"Bang!"

There was a sound behind him, and a servant fell down.

Kong Xingxie was so scared that he was shattered. He ran to the narrow passage of the backyard and front yard and did not go in. He turned his feet and retracted into the thin crack under the rockery next to him...

Liu Yigu led the man forward, pressed down the butler Zhao Decheng and several servants, and chased him to the cave. He couldn't help but frown and found that he couldn't squeeze in.

He looked into the crack and saw that the child had crawled far away.

"Mr. I can't chase him..."

"Send a few people to surround this rockery." Wang Xiao said indifferently, then smiled self-deprecatingly, thinking that he came to kill the whole family and chased the child, he really looked like a villain.

He had no choice but to manage his expression, making him look less ferocious, and then squatted down and asked Zhao Decheng who was pressed to the ground: "Where is Kong Yinzhi?"

The steward of the Holy Mansion has a higher status than the six ministers in the world. Zhao Decheng is not a mediocre person who can achieve this position. Speaking of which, he uses his brain more than Kong Yinzhi every day.

If he could really sell his master easily, even if he saved his life, his future would be ruined. He would have to deal with the other party.

At this time, Zhao Decheng was not hurried, looked at Wang Xiao calmly, and said, "Young Master, if you come for money, you can do as much as you want..."

"Bang!"

"ah……"

Wang Xiao directly held the musket and pressed it on Zhao Decheng's thigh and slammed it.

"Where is Kong Yinzhi?"

Zhao Decheng shouted shrillly, his face trembling with pain, and while sucking his breath, he spitted three words hard: "Nanhua Hall."

"Bring him with you." Wang smiled.

He led Tang Qianqian through the gloomy and narrow corridor and whispered: "Look, so I want to kill him directly... These people all think they are smart people, and smart people never obey easily. They have to deal with me when they find opportunities, let alone such things that are related to their fundamental interests, and it is even more impossible to compromise. It is already mid-February, and it will be too late to divide the fields... So, things that are hard to say, in blood."

Tang Qianqian pretended to be disappointed and said aggrievedly: "I originally thought you wanted to stand up for others, but in the end you were dividing the land again, hum."

Wang Xiao could understand her jokes, and when he smiled, he felt much less pressure.

Yes, I came to search for the homes of the descendants of the Confucius Saint. Even if he had a modern soul, he still felt great pressure when he reached this point...

Kong Xingtu is in charge of the Qinshilin Temple Guarding Office of the Sheng Mansion.

The Confucius Mansion also has its own "six ministries". If the Guangou Hall is the "Ministry of Revenue" of the Confucius Mansion, the Linmiao Guardian Department is the "Ministry of War" of the Confucius Mansion.

The so-called forest temple refers to the Confucius Forest and Confucius Temple. In addition, the Confucius Mansion is called the "Three Kongs".

The name of the "Lin Temple Guardian" mainly guards the Confucius Temple, but in fact, the Confucius Mansion is mainly guarding.

During the Taiping period, the Guards' Office generally had 500 to 1,000 troops. As the chaos is coming today, the Kong family has also expanded its troops to 5,000. In addition to the troops in Qufu County, it is naturally safe.

Five thousand guards do not gather together to practice every day.

The Kong family is a scholarly family and has no desire to compete for hegemony. There are so many guards who actually have nothing to do every day. Of course, the Kong family is not short of a little bit of money, just because they think it is very troublesome to manage.

After Kong Xing'er took over the Guarding Office, he according to the Chu Dynasty's military household registration system, he drew a piece of land in Qufu County and divided the soldiers into two shifts, which were rotated every month, one shift reclaiming farming, and one shift was responsible for the guards.

In this way, two thousand and five hundred people guarded the Confucius Forest, Confucius Temple, and Confucius Mansion respectively, which did not seem bloated and noisy, but also gave the soldiers a field and devoted themselves to the Confucius family. Everything seemed so well-organized.

But behind the scenes, Kong Xing's first ate half of the military pay and occupied the land, squeezing tenants and the soldiers in the guards. This is not surprising. Most generals and officials in the entire Chu Dynasty did this. Kong Xing's only ate half of the military pay was already a rare honest man.

Integrity is honest, but the Kong family is too rich. In just two years, Kong Xinglei still made great fortunes.

As for Kong Yinzhi not finding out, one is that the family business is too big, and these are just one of the many unrecognizable properties for the Kong family; the other is that Kong Xingle does have the means and everything is perfect...

If nothing unexpected happens, there is nothing to use the five thousand guards in Yansheng Palace. Who in this world dares to make things difficult for them? It would be fine if Kong Xingyao had eaten his empty salary for a long time and occupied the land.

But sometimes, accidents happen quietly...

Today, Kong Xingxi met Kong Yinzhi and returned to the Guard Office, asking his confidant to summon the desperate people he raised.

Even though Kong Xingshi has a noble status, he is rarely a little polite when dealing with these evil people.

"Brother Lu, the master means to ask me to take a thousand people to Dong'a and get rid of Wang Xiao."

A man in the hall was not tall, but his face was full of ruthlessness. His surname was Lu and his name was Tietuo. He was originally the leader of a thief on Yishan. After being taken by the government in his early years, Kong Xingle rescued him.

Lu Tietuo was loyal to people, and was fed with delicious food and drink. He married a wife, took concubines and had children. His children could still study in Nishan Academy. He was willing to sell his life to Kong Xinglei. Without saying a word, he patted his chest and said, "How can I get such a thing to the boss? I took thirty people to Dong'a, and I secretly touched it and became Wang Xiao."

Kong Xing's face showed concern and said, "For this, thank you Brother Lu, I just must take care of myself."

Lu Tietuo was moved and entrusted his family to Xiaoxiao, so he immediately took people out of the Holy Mansion to Dong'a.

He is a turbulent person, without those mother-in-law and mother. He plans to go to Dong'a tonight and become Wang Xiao tomorrow, and he will be able to set off the day after tomorrow.

After leaving the city, Lu Tietuo saw a row of officers and soldiers rushing towards Qufu on the official road. He grinned and said to himself, "I don't know what these officers and soldiers are going to do."

As he said that, he no longer cared about this matter and rushed to Dong'a.

After arranging this matter, Kong Xingzhi breathed a sigh of relief and said to his confidant: "Brother Zong is still too arrogant and doesn't know how to do it in detail. You see what he said, if he brought a thousand people to do Wang Xiao, he still needs to be secret? Haha."

"Yes, the young master is the one who can accomplish anything."

"Ha, the number of soldiers is not many, but the essence." Kong Xing's words said lightly, "What is the purpose of raising five thousand soldiers in our Holy Mansion? To do things, a small group of refined people is enough."

As he said this, he gently tapped the table and thought about it.

When Lu Tietuo became Wang Xiao, he could also report some money and food to Zong Bo, and he said that the sent people were killed or injured, and the pension money would cost a lot...

Then I heard someone shouting in the distance.

"There are assassins!"

Kong Xinglei frowned and ordered his confidant to take some guards to see.

After a while, the shouting continued, but instead became more and more urgent, and there was a faint sound of gunfire.

Kong Xinglei felt something was wrong and suddenly stood up to summon the guards.

"Report!"
To be continued...
