Zhu Youxiao turned around in surprise and looked at Wu Jin, and he also had a premonition about this.

The disappearance of the old man Kong Zhiqi's daughter should not be as simple as disappearance. After all, in the Ming Dynasty, where the Lijia system is relatively strict, especially in Taiping areas like Shandong East, it is difficult to lose population, let alone a girl.

But now that you can't find someone, there is only one possibility of a situation, that is death.

And it is worth pondering why a missing person or a possible murder case was ignored by Shandong County and other government offices?

After looking at Wu Jin for a moment, Zhu Youxiao did not show any other abnormalities. He nodded and waved at Wu Jin, and then walked into the pavilion opposite.

Kong Yinzhi and others did not dare to approach and inquire about the news, but they could tell from the serious expression of the head of the East Factory's large archer.

Kong Yinzhi looked back at his clear guest Xie Shu and asked in a low voice: "Everything is right now, but I am still a little worried that your Majesty will find out that matter. Have you dealt with it completely? Has that guy named Kong Zhiqi caught?"

Kong Yinzhi's tone was a little cold, which was very different from the flattering look he had just been in front of Zhu Youxiao. The Qingke Xie Shu was so scared that his face turned pale: "Don't worry, Master, everything is done, Kong Zhiqi was buried in the deep pool by us, and he will definitely die."

Hearing Xie Shu say this, Kong Yinzhi nodded with confidence, and the gloom on his face swept past, and he still showed a spring-like smile.

On this side, Zhu Youxiao also whispered to Wu Jin: "Send more people to control the scene and let the old man named Kong Zhiqi identify it, but remember to protect his safety. From now on, monitor Kong Zhiqi closely. Except for our own people, don't let anyone know his whereabouts, especially these officials and gentry from Shandong. "

"As long as your Majesty's orders!"

Wu Jin responded and took a team of Dongchang men away.

Zhu Youxiao still came over to chat and laugh with Shandong officials and gentry such as Kong Yinzhi.

Kong Yinzhi and a group of officials and gentry were still careful in serving Zhu Youxiao, and Zhu Youxiao was very polite to them.

Moreover, before this, in order to show that he was willing to maintain a harmonious relationship with the gentry of Shandong, Zhu Youxiao issued an order in advance and came to Shandong East and then directly stationed in the Holy Duke of Kong Yan.

Just because Zhu Youxiao, the current emperor, wanted to stay in the Holy Duke of Kong Yan, Kong Yinzhi did his best to be a landlord. Not only did he spend a lot of money to decorate the mansion, but he also bought many opera troupes and other actors. Needless to say, the beauty was beautiful, but Kong Yinzhi did not dare to learn from Wei Guangwei and even sent his daughter out.

Zhu Youxiao came to Kong Yan Shenggong's Mansion and took a closer look. He could find that even the ordinary maids who came to make tea for him were very beautiful. The girls who occasionally showed half of their heads at the gate of Yuedong, or played the piano in a flower dock somewhere, were even more amazing that Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but stop watching.

While Zhu Youxiao sighed that the beautiful girl could be seen everywhere in Kong Yan Shenggong, he found that although the decoration of Kong Yan Shenggong's mansion was new, it seemed very frugal and had no overreach. The doors, windows, beams and pillars were all black painted, and the floor was just the most ordinary bluestone tiles. Even the furnishings in the house were occasionally decorated with antiques, but more were books.

"After all, it is a tribe of poetry, etiquette and thighs. There is a bookish atmosphere throughout the mansion, and these servants have added some elegance." Zhu Youxiao exclaimed a few words and saw a bright yellow throne in a hall, and its laying was more gorgeous than before. He knew that it was the place where the emperor had reserved for him by the Confucius Mansion.

Zhu Youxiao walked in and sat down, but when he sat down, Zhu Youxiao found a tablet on the table in front of him, which read the dragon throne of Emperor Tianqi of the Ming Dynasty, and there were couplets hanging on both sides, saying: "The mountains, rivers, the sun and the moon shine together, and the country's fortunes are the same as the universe and eternity."

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but stand up and thought to himself: "This Kong Yinzhi is worthy of being a descendant of Confucius. He is really familiar with the tactics of flattery. Now he is the emperor. It turns out that the person on the dragon throne is himself. If Li Zicheng or Aisin Jueluo family really becomes the emperor now, then if he doesn't have to change the tablet, he has to change it as well?"

Zhu Youxiao really wanted to ask if Kong Yinzhi had prepared many empty tablets at home, and he just waited to change the name on the dragon throne after the dynasty was changed.

"This is too much, please take it away, no one can do this!"

Zhu Youxiao was not very used to being offered to others like this. Although he had been trying hard to let the Ministry of Rites deify him, he was not interested in accepting Kong Yinzhi's hypocritical worship.

Zhu Youxiao chose to stay in the Holy Duke of Kong Yan, so he naturally had the intention of testing the Confucius Mansion. But until now, he has not seen any signs of incongruity. The only thing that made him feel inappropriate was that the Confucius Mansion was very large, and the passages in many places were even directly sealed.

Zhu Youxiao asked Kong Yinzhi why some courtyards were blocked, but Kong Yinzhi said that the Confucius Mansion is not as prosperous as before and when his family was rich, in order to reduce expenses, some courtyards had to be deserted and had no way to deal with them, so he simply blocked them directly.

Zhu Youxiao didn't ask much, and he didn't immediately draw a conclusion on whether the facts were as Kong Yinzhi said.

Everyone thought that Your Majesty should not find anything in the Confucius Mansion now, and the officials of the Shandong Governor and the Censor could not help but celebrate, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Moreover, when they heard that His Majesty was sleeping with a beauty in Confucius' mansion last night, they even thought that His Majesty had fallen into the gentle countryside and would not cause any trouble after playing with it in Shandong. At most, they would go south to Jiangnan for a few days.

Zhu Youxiao did become a romantic emperor in the Confucius Mansion. Now he can no longer see the dark side of the Confucius Mansion in the open. Instead of doing this, it is better to pretend to be stupid and come to the Confucius Mansion to have a king who will not go to the morning court from now on, so as to paralyze Kong Yinzhi and the bureaucrats who secretly act as his protective umbrella.

Of course, in addition to being extremely romantic to deal with Kong Yinzhi's diligent reception, Zhu Youxiao is also preparing to communicate with local gentry such as Kong Yinzhi and others to implement the policy of collecting food in Shandong East. If Kong Yinzhi agreed to cooperate with him, Zhu Youxiao would naturally not have to take action against such a family with a high status in the Scholars, even if he might have done something that is harmful to the world.

I was tired of the Confucius Mansion for two days. On the third auspicious day, Zhu Youxiao personally took Cabinet Grand Secretary Li Mingrui and Sili Supervisor Wang Chengen to visit Confucius.

After coming to the Confucian Temple, Zhu Youxiao found that there were several private schools near the Confucian Temple. There were some poor children who looked ragged in their clothes and were babbling. The teachers looked like they were all knowledgeable elders, and even scholars wearing square scarves.

Zhu Youxiao asked why there were so many poor children studying here, and the county magistrate of Qu0fu first replied that this was also built by the donation of money from Confucius Yansheng, in order to educate the local area so that talented people will not waste their studies or lose the opportunity to learn the way of saints due to poverty.

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao naturally affirmed Kong Yinzhi a few more words, and even asked the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet Li Mingrui to kowtow three times on his behalf, while Zhu Youxiao himself personally incense in front of Confucius' statue.

The great Grand Secretary kneeled and worshipped the great ceremony, and Zhu Youxiao, as the emperor, also burned incense himself. This courtesy is of great importance.

All the officials and gentry couldn't help but admire Zhu Youxiao's actions of respecting Confucianism and Taoism.

Zhu Youxiao also took this opportunity to immediately put forward his purpose of coming to Shandong East. After worshiping Confucius, he summoned all the officials and gentry to come and said: "You must know that I have made Yuan Ke the governor of Shandong East, and the new official takes office as three fires. Yuan Zhongcheng gave me a memorial before this, which stated that his first fire after governor Shandong East was to implement the implementation of the integrated food supply between officials and gentry. I wonder what you have to do with this?"
