Chapter 194: Dirty Confucius Mansion
As soon as Kong Xingkai said, his elder brother Kong Xingxie covered his mouth: "Be careful when speaking. What your father does, we can't control our sons, but you can't do anything randomly. Although Lingxin is beautiful, she is now the person around His Majesty. You must forget her, do you understand!"
Kong Xingxie is the heir of Kong Yan Shenggong, so he is now very concerned about his performance in front of Emperor Zhu Youxiao, in order to avoid deviations when he inherits the title of Kong Yan Shenggong, so he is much calmer than his younger brother Kong Xingkai.
Kong Xingkai was filled with anger and said secretly: "No one can imagine what I can't get. Anyway, because of the matter of officials and gentry collecting food together, his father has stood opposite to His Majesty. With his understanding of His Majesty, even though his family is Yansheng Gong's Mansion, he may not be able to escape disaster. Instead of this, if I stop taking action and do something earth-shaking, he might be able to escape danger."
The young and energetic Kong Xingkai made up his mind and turned around and left.
Kong Xingxie wanted to persuade him a few more words, but when he saw that he didn't look back, he also said that Kong Xingkai was still depressed because Lingxin had returned to the current emperor, so he didn't say much.
However, when Kong Xingxie saw that his brother did not return to his own courtyard but walked directly outside the mansion, he couldn't help but smile a bit evilly between his lips and teeth, and then walked straight to his brother's courtyard. As soon as he entered the Yuedong Gate and saw his brother and sister embroidering in the room, he ordered the servant behind him: "Wait here, be more strict. Once the second child comes back, shout loudly."
Zhu Youxiao is still teasing her lovely maid Lingxin. Lingxin has also changed her dull and cold personality in the Kong Mansion and served Zhu Youxiao with all her strength. The reason why she did this was to escape from this Kong Mansion.
Ling Xin also knew that she had a pretty face. It was precisely because of this that many male owners in the mansion were trying to make her think about her. She almost fell into the clutches of the master Kong Yinzhi several times, and was almost occupied by the big house several times. However, the second master was better and would not force her, but he had already salivated at her.
Lingxin didn't want to be a tool for them to play with. She was used to seeing many girls of the same age in the mansion who ended up in a miserable way, and she was afraid that she would not be able to escape such a bad luck in the future. Fortunately, the emperor stayed here in the southern tour, and the master Kong Yinzhi also gave up his love to curry favor with the emperor and chose those with outstanding talents and appearances in front of the emperor.
Although she knew that the emperor had three palaces and six courtyards and was also a lover, Ling Xin had to choose to rely on the current emperor in order to escape from this world. At least she could escape from the Confucius Mansion. She didn't know what the imperial palace would look like, but she hoped it would be better than the Confucius Mansion.
Zhu Youxiao now has no reason to attack Kong Yinzhi, so he pretended to be idle. After conquering Lingxin's girl, he also conquered her heart. From Lingxin, he also learned a lot about the situation inside the Confucius Mansion. Although it was just a few family fights, he could also see the true nature of Kong Yinzhi.
According to Ling Xin, Master Kong, that is, Kong Yinzhi, is very strict and lustful in the mansion. There are countless women who are humiliating. Among them, the four or five maids who grew up with Ling Xin who work in Master Kong's mansion are now gone. In addition, although the eldest son of the Kong family, the old man, looks hypocritical, he is also full of hearts. He has an affair with the concubines in the mansion and even has some evil things with his younger brother and sister. The third master is a confused insect, but he is not a good person. His servant was beaten to death for killing his fish.
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao suddenly realized and thought that this was the true portrayal of the wealthy and nobles. If he had not inquired from insiders, he would have really not known about the dirty things here. However, Zhu Youxiao did not punish Kong Yinzhi for these incidents, so he could only confirm that the Kong family was not as good and great as it seemed.
Zhu Youxiao had to continue inquiring and waiting. At this time, a Dongchang man who was responsible for monitoring the surrounding situation came over and whispered: "Your Majesty, there are two people peeping. One is Kong Xingxie, who often comes, and the other is Kong Xingkai, the younger brother of Kong Xingxie. However, they left before their subordinates could hear what they said. In addition, today, the governor Gu Tingzhuo and Yanzhou Prefect Luo Maoji came to the Confucius Mansion and finally left disguisedly. Should they catch them first and interrogate?"
"Don't hurry up, don't alert the snake. I will catch them all in one place!"
Zhu Youxiao said, "The two young men of the Kong family don't have to worry about it. I'm sorry that these two people can't make any trouble. Even if they make a fuss, I'm not afraid. I'm worried that I can't deal with the Confucius Mansion."
After Zhu Youxiao said that, he ordered a visit to the place where Yuan Chonghuan was buried, and then to the scene where Kong Zhiqi's daughter disappeared.
When Zhu Youxiao came, the entire scene was surrounded by soldiers from the inspectors and soldiers from the governors' yamen, while the people from the East Factory protected the most core area. In the middle of them, Kong Zhiqi's daughter was lying. Zhu Youxiao came over and lifted the straw mat and looked at it, then stood up, and changed a few breaths and said, "Who is so cruel? You must find out the murderer behind the scenes."
Wang Ren, the inspector of the Shandong East, hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the lower official has taken people to investigate everywhere. Who did the deceased Kong meet before his death? Now the biggest problem here is that his father said he had not seen his daughter for a month, but at present, his daughter's death date is only four or five days. Therefore, in the eyes of the lower official, his father's words should be untrue, and he should mention his father coming to interrogate him strictly."
Although the Qing Guest behind Wang Ren was a staff member named Lu Xun, he was actually the eyewitness of the Kong Mansion. When he saw Wang Ren answering according to the instructions sent by his master, he felt much more relieved. The people in the Kong Mansion did not expect that Kong Zhiqi was not dead, nor did he expect that he would fall into the hands of His Majesty today. Therefore, they had to control Kong Zhiqi in their own hands so that they could avoid implicating the Holy Duke Kong Yan.
However, Zhu Youxiao also guessed the little thoughts of these people, smiled coldly, and said, "No need, no one can kill his daughter, let alone that old man fainted because of his excessive sadness, and he couldn't ask anything. And he was still old, so he couldn't afford to make trouble."
The Censor Wang Ren didn't say much, so he glanced at Lu Xun, but Lu Xun had no expression.
At this time, Wu Jin, who was responsible for burying Yuan Chonghuan, suddenly ran away: "Your Majesty, no, we found another female corpse, but it was rotten and we couldn't see clearly."
Wu Jin's words were like a huge thunder blew in everyone's ears. The Censor Wang Ren couldn't help but feel nervous and looked at Lu Xun again. Lu Xun didn't expect that this would happen suddenly. The instructions from the Holy Lord Kong Yan were to control Kong Zhiqi as much as possible in the hands of the Censor or the governor, so he didn't know how to deal with it for the time being.
After Zhu Youxiao said this, Yuan Keli, who realized that the case could not be so simple, hurriedly bowed to Zhu Youxiao and said, "Your Majesty, I ask for an order to excavate this land of a hundred miles. Since the second one appeared, there might be a third one, a fourth one or even a fifth one!"
