Zhu Youxiao understood that the old man had found his daughter missing, but the government offices at all levels refused to accept his case, which forced him to break into his own saint.

Although Zhu Youxiao was a noble emperor, he saw that everyone came to the door to complain and said it very clearly. No one was willing to care about his affairs except himself. He had to take advantage of the heavy rain and asked about it at this time. It was also considered to pass the boring time and divert the inner confusion that had just killed Yuan Chonghuan.

Zhu Youxiao ordered people to take the old man into the ship warehouse, and asked Wang Chengen to change him with a piece of dry clothes and give him half a bowl of ginger soup to drink before starting to ask about the old man's hometown, name and other situations.

Although the old man is the current emperor, as mysterious as the gods in the sky, he said that the so-called ignorant is fearless, and he was eager to find a girl and replied calmly:

"Caomin Nai Qu 0. Kong Zhiqi, a villager in Fushangguan Village, only one daughter is under his knees. Because it was snowing heavily when she was born, he named Kong Xueer. The father and daughter depended on each other for more than ten years, and neither of them left each other. Until the third day of April this year, because the old man from Kong Taibao's family celebrated his birthday, he had twelve short-term workers who needed needlework. Caomin also asked his daughter to go with her. He thought that he would earn some money to save enough dowry, and that his daughter would suffer less grievances when she married her parents' home, but who knew that he would never see her again after he went there."

"Kong Taibao?" Zhu Youxiao glanced at Li Mingrui.

Li Mingrui smiled knowingly, then bowed to Zhu Youxiao and replied, "Have you forgotten that the current Holy Lord Kong Yan, Kong Yinzhi, was appointed as the crown prince Taibao by you in the seventh year of Tianqi. Kong Yansheng Gong had the eldest brother born to a concubine named Kong Yinzhen. The common people in his hometown called him the eldest son. It is precisely because he was the eldest son of the late Holy Lord Kong Yan, Kong Shangtan. It is estimated that there are already forty-six."

When he heard Li Mingrui mention Kong Yinzhi, Zhu Youxiao nodded as if he had some understanding.

He naturally knew Kong Yinzhi. This descendant of Confucius really showed the ugly face of aristocratic families in the history of the late Ming Dynasty. Of course, this is also their unique trick to survive. Any family with some beliefs cannot learn it.

In history, Kong Yinzhi began to surrender to Li Zicheng before he entered the mountain or east, and even established the tablet of Yongchang of the Dashun Emperor. Later, as soon as the Qing Dynasty entered the capital, he immediately removed the tablet, asked to shave his hair, and even ordered the entire clan to shave his hair. It can be seen that the ability to change the wind can be said to be the pinnacle.

But the key point is that he even gave him the title of Prince Taibao. Zhu Youxiao felt for the first time that he had done something very wrong.

"What is this person's reputation in Qu0?"

Zhu Youxiao asked Li Mingrui, saying that Li Mingrui had no target, Zhu Youxiao's implication was actually realistic:

"Donald Yansheng is highly respected in this mountainous area, helping the poor and helping the poor, helping the disaster and education, and doing so is hard to count. When I went to Beijing to take the exam, I was poor and had no money to stay in a hotel. I also had his support to prevent me from freezing to death in the wilderness. Now Your Majesty wants to implement the strategy of collecting food together by officials and gentry. This is beneficial to the country. If I expected it, Duke Kong would definitely be the first to agree."

"Okay!"

Zhu Youxiao did not expect that Li Mingrui was already in the cabinet minister and could not escape the view of scholars. He thought too simple about the reform of collecting food with officials and gentry. He interrupted Li Mingrui with a wave of his hand, and Li Mingrui had to shut up.

Zhu Youxiao asked Wu Jin again at this time.

Although Wu Jin was a big shot in the East Factory, he was mainly responsible for the information about Gyeonggi and Jiangnan, so he didn't know very clearly about the actual situation in Shandong, especially Qu0fu.

Wu Jin had no choice but to smile bitterly and said, "Report to Your Majesty, there have been no evil deeds from this Holy Lord Kong Yan in recent years. Local officials have had deep friendships with him, but nothing was too much."

Seeing that Li Mingrui and Wu Jin could not ask what he wanted, Zhu Youxiao asked the old man: "Old man, the old man you mentioned and the man named Kong Yinzhi have done something that is harmful to the world."

"Oh, Your Majesty, Caomin dare not hide it from you. These two masters are really descendants of Saint Kong!"

As the old man said that, he gave Zhu Youxiao a thumbs up and said, "These two masters are kind-hearted and kind-hearted people. They give enough wages. If they don't beat and scold their servants, I wouldn't let my daughter do short-term work for his family, right?"

Zhu Youxiao nodded. He could see that Kong Yinzhi was not as simple as he imagined, otherwise so many people wouldn't have spoken for him.

Whether it was the high-ranking cabinet master or the lower-level people, even the Dongchang, which specializes in collecting black materials, did not find his evil deeds.

Zhu Youxiao could not believe the strong contrast between the historical facts he knew and the information he learned in reality. He did not ask the old man what he next said, but instead ordered people to take him down for a while and let him not leave his control.

Then, Zhu Youxiao suddenly called Wu Jin and Wang Chengen, and ordered Wang Chengen to quickly get a set of clothes worn by ordinary gentry, and then asked Wu Jin to prepare the horse.

After the heavy rain stopped, the three of them disguised themselves and took a few Dongchang men in the same clothes to rush to Qu0fu.

"Your Majesty, this place is not far from Qu0fu. Do we really have to rush there overnight?" Wang Chengen couldn't help but ask.

Zhu Youxiao threw the horse whip and said, "I am not at ease if I don't explore the reality of the Kong family. This is related to how to promote the integrated payment of officials and gentry in Shandong East."

Seeing that Zhu Youxiao said this, Wang Chengen didn't have much to say.

After a long time, Zhu Youxiao and others arrived at the territory of Qufu.

After Zhu Youxiao got off the horse, he looked around, but the house was as if he was like a chicken or a dog. When he entered Qufu County, he could see some ragged people, most of whom were rushing to run to a street.

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but stop someone and asked, "I dare to ask, what good things are ahead that make you so anxious?"

"When you hear that you are from the capital, you don't know what you know. Every time you are in the famine in spring and summer, Master Kong's family will give alms of grain and rice, and every household can receive two dou."

This person said this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but laugh: "This Master Kong is a kind person."

"Isn't that? They are descendants of Confucius and are charitable. He also donated money to build the bridge under your feet. Also, look at the row of houses over there, all of which were built by him for orphans in the city. In Fucheng, there is no county magistrate, but no Master Kong."

This person's words made Zhu Youxiao's heart sank.

Zhu Youxiao then went to other places and even asked the tenants of the Kong family. The result was still the same. Kong Yinzhi made good reputation in the village.

Could it be that he made a preconceived mistake? Perhaps although Kong Yinzhi is a fence-skinned man, he is indeed not bad in character?

Zhu Youxiao walked to the gate of Kong Yansheng Gong's Mansion and indeed saw the Kong family sharing food with their neighbors respectfully, which made him even more incredible.
