Chapter 207: Facing Kong Wenshi, whose ancestral grave was dug
Kong Wenshi thought for a long time before she decided to spread the paper and dip it in ink to write a suicide note. He decided to change his style of writing that pursued gorgeous lyrics in the past and to warn himself with simple and easy-to-understand words to be a dignified person.
But just as Kong Wen's poem was moving, the clanging sound of the iron lock being untied suddenly came from outside.
Suddenly, it was Wang Chengen who walked in.
After Wang Chengen waved his hand to the prison guard who wanted to call Kong Wenshi to drive him to tell him not to disturb Kong Wenshi, he walked quietly to Kong Wenshi himself.
Kong Wenshi thought it was Yuan Keli who came to persuade him again, so he didn't look up and replied directly: "The Chief Secretary doesn't have to waste his words. Kong knew that he was guilty. Even if he was sentenced to Lingchi, it didn't matter. He didn't dare to resent Your Majesty, just want to die and protect my thousand-year foundation of Confucian Confucius."
"Mr. Kong is really a shameless person who only has the clan in his eyes. Even now he is still complacent to protect the criminals. I am quite handsome but not as thick as you." Wang Chengen said, and he sneered. Looking at the font that looked elegant, he couldn't help but feel sorry for him. He thought that such a talented but so stupid was really sad.
Kong Wenshi then realized that it was not Yuan Keli who came to see him at this time, but he seemed to be a eunuch when he heard his voice.
In fact, Kong Wenshi, who was still looking forward to his Majesty's current situation, hurriedly raised his head. Seeing Wang Chengen wearing a python robe and a three-mountain hat on his head, and it was the eunuch who was with him in the Qufu County Government that day. Kong Wenshi couldn't help but suddenly felt a strong survival **.
"The guilty people have met their father-in-law, but I wonder what the father-in-law is trying to come here this time?"
Although Kong Wenshi did not deliberately show concerns about his impending punishment of Lingchi, Wang Chengen still saw his instinctive reaction from his eyes that he did not want to be cut into pieces, so he deliberately said to Kong Wenshi with a stern expression: "I am the eunuch Wang Chengen, the chief eunuch in charge of the seal. According to the decree of Your Majesty, I came to take Kong Wenshi, who was sentenced to Lingchi's punishment of Lingchi to patrol the streets."
As he said that, Wang Chengen turned around and said, "Let's go, Kong Wenshi."
What Kong Wenshi didn't want to hear the word "Lingchi" now, and what he didn't want to remember the most was that he was about to be Lingchi. I don't know if it was Yuan Keli who did it on purpose last night or if it happened. The prisoners next to him posed for two hours on the topic of tragic tragedy, which really scared him, a scholar who didn't even dare to kill a chicken for a night.
Now, when Wang Chengen was deliberately saying the word "lingchi", Kong Wenshi felt even more afraid of death. He didn't know why His Majesty asked him to patrol the streets. He even worried that His Majesty would execute him in front of the entire Qufu Township Party because of his hatred.
That would really be known to all the neighbors. I was an unforgivable person who was executed by Lingchi. At that time, I would really let the neighbors know that they were the beast who harmed their young girls. I was afraid that their reputation would be bad and that their children would not be able to raise their heads for the rest of their lives.
Kong Wenshi, who had always cared more about reputation, became more and more scared the more he thought about it. Finally, he bowed to Wang Chengen and asked: "I dare to ask the prince, I don't know why His Majesty wants to blame the people for parading in the streets. Can you please tell me something about it?"
"Your Majesty means, I don't know what I mean. Just let you parade. Let's go! Why are you still trying to resist the order and refuse to obey?"
After Wang Chengen said this, Kong Wenshi had no choice but to ask again, so he had to drag his heavy shackles and wear plain white and broken prison uniforms and follow the gorgeously dressed Wang Chengen.
As soon as Kong Wenshi came out, he saw a carriage staying outside the prison door. Wang Chengen took it first and waved to Kong Wenshi, "Get on the car."
Isn't it parade? Why is it not a prison cart but a horse cart?
Although Kong Wenshi was surprised, he did not dare to ask any questions. As soon as he got on the carriage, Wang Chengen directly ordered the soldiers driving the carriage outside: "Go to the Kong Clan Ancestral Hall first."
Kong Wenshi wanted to ask why he went to the clan ancestral hall, but when he saw that Wang Chengen had no intention of paying attention to him, he didn't ask.
But after a long time, when the carriage stopped, Wang Chengen asked Kong Wenshi to get off the car and take a look.
Kong Wenshi got out of the car, but accidentally stepped on a wooden sign. He almost fell down and suddenly screamed after he stood firm, and immediately knelt on the ground, picked up the wooden sign that had already been missing and started crying loudly.
"The descendants are not filial, and the descendants are not filial!"
Wang Chengen was a little stunned when he saw this. He hurriedly walked over and saw the wooden sign saying "The descendant of the 66th generation of Confucius Wenxuan Gong, the imperial concubine Kong Hongshan, the imperial concubine of Guanglu Dafu".
Wang Chengen now knows that Kong Wenshi's father is Kong Hongshan, so after seeing this wooden sign, he guessed that this was probably the spiritual position placed by Kong Wenshi's father in the Confucius Temple in the Northern Sect. However, now that Kong Wenshi's branch was removed from the clan by Kong Yinzhi, Kong Hongshan's spiritual position was kicked out of the ancestral hall.
Wang Chengen couldn't help but say, "All right, then I don't have to tell you that Yansheng Gong, who was saved by you, has eliminated the Kong clan. You probably understand it yourself. If you are really worried, you can go to the notice pavilion ahead to see what happened."
Without waiting for Wang Chengen to say this, Kong Wenshi walked over eagerly. When he saw the content of the notice, he couldn't help but burst into tears: "Why is this, why is this?"
Seeing that he was heartbroken, Wang Chengen was afraid that he would commit suicide by committing suicide by doing so, so he broke His Majesty's plan in vain, so he ordered the officers and soldiers around him: "Go and pull him back, and then we will go to his ancestral tomb."
Kong Wenshi was pulled back, and she seemed to have lost her soul.
However, when the carriage entered a small valley, he suddenly regained his expression and pointed outside and shouted: "My Jie Zitang, who burned my Jie Zitang, and how did my dozens of acres of peach trees have been cut down? Who is it? Who did this? Where is Gu's family?"
"You don't have to worry. You will see your wife and children. If you don't understand, get out of the car and ask. It's much better than standing in the car and shouting." Wang Chengen said and ordered someone to stop the car, while Kong Wenshi ran down and grabbed a tenant who was dragging a piece of wood home. He asked, "This is the camphor tree I planted fifteen years ago. Who asked you to cut it down? This place is my family's ancestral property, and who asked you to move it."
"It was the uncle's order that the current situation of the hundreds of acres of industries here is the uncle's industry!"
Kong Wenshi knew that the old man they were talking about was Kong Yinzhi. When he heard this, he sat down on the ground blankly and couldn't speak for a long time.
Wang Chengen ordered people to carry Kong Wenshi into the car and ordered them to continue moving forward. When he arrived at the ancestral cemetery of Kong's family, he could suddenly see more than ten coffins placed in the wild grass not far away. Some of them had fallen out due to their age and decay.
But Kong Wenshi recognized his parents, grandparents and great-grandparents with his face.
"No!"
Kong Wenshi roared and simply ran out of the car by himself, then kept running towards the ancestral cemetery, kneeling in front of a pit that had been dug, with only a rainwater left, and cried bitterly while touching the smashed tombstone. The tombstone was written on the epitaph about his father by Wen Zhenmeng, the top scholar in the second year of the Tianqi period and his friend.
