Chapter 214: The Death of Kong Gongzi!
"What?"
"Kong Weibin is dead?! When, when was this? ”
Early the next morning, at the Fulai Inn, Xu Changqing had just finished washing up, and was about to clean up and take a water girl out hunting and playing, but Zhao Zengjin rushed in quickly and told Xu Changqing the news that was a bit earth-shattering.
"It should be the second half of last night.
After Yan Shenggong took Kong Weibin back to the Confucian family's courtyard, Kong Weibin went out to continue drinking in a restaurant near the courtyard, and was sent back to his house by the restaurant in the middle of the night. However, early this morning, Kong Weibin was found by a servant who got up early to clear the snow and died on the side of the rockery in the garden of the annex.
And ......"
Zhao Zengjin paused, looked at Xu Changqing carefully, and said in a low voice: "Handsome man, before Kong Weibin died, he carved two blood characters on the rockery next to him......"
Xu Changqing had roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "What kind of blood did he write?" ”
Zhao Zengjin hurriedly said in a low voice: "Liaodong." ”
Xu Changqing nodded slowly, and at this time, a personal soldier suddenly came over outside: "Dashuai, the people from the palace, the holy prince of Yan and the prefect's yamen have come over together, please go to the other courtyard to check the situation." ”
Zhao Zengjin hurriedly said: "Dashuai, this, this can't go!" This is obviously framing us! In case they play tricks, there are too few of us, but it will be dangerous. ”
Xu Changqing shook his head slowly, and beckoned to the pro-soldier: "Tell them that Ben Shuai will clean up a little and go over immediately." ”
"Yes."
The soldiers hurriedly left.
Zhao Zengjin hurriedly said: "Dashuai, you can't go, you can't go." These dogs are shredded, what a damn thing! ”
Xu Changqing smiled, "It's okay." This is not necessarily a bad thing. However, is this matter the work of the people under us? ”
Zhao Zengjin's pupils shrank, and he instantly understood what Xu Changqing meant, and hurriedly said, "Shuai, how is this possible?" There were fifty-six of us in all, divided into two courtyards, and last night before going to bed, no one was absent. Moreover, we have to prepare for hunting this morning, which is definitely not the work of our sons. ”
Seeing Zhao Zengjin's anxious appearance, Xu Changqing already had a number in his heart, patted his explanation on the shoulder and said, "There is nothing wrong with being careful." Zengjin, you gather the sons and daughters, and ask about this again. Also, let the sons and daughters pack up their ropes, and let's go over and have a look! ”
"Good!"
Watching Zhao Zengjin's majestic back leave in a hurry, Xu Changqing's eyes narrowed slightly.
The tiger is not harmful, but the human is harmful to the tiger's heart!
Someone, it's true, he can't look down on himself!
……
The news of Kong Weibin's killing was like the wind, and it quickly spread throughout Qingzhou City, making the entire city shrouded in a terrifying and terrifying atmosphere in the early morning.
When Xu Changqing rushed to the Confucian family's courtyard, the Kong family, the Hengwang Mansion, including the prefect's yamen, had already come a large number of people, Zhu Youdi had arrived, and there were hundreds of officials and officials of all sizes in the yamen of Qingzhou Mansion.
They were also a little frightened when they got this kind of news early in the morning.
Seeing Xu Changqing coming, the crowd suddenly became restless.
Zhu Youdi, the king of Heng, Kong Yinzhi, the holy prince of Yan, including the prefect of Qingzhou Mansion, Tongzhi and other officials, hurriedly greeted Xu Changqing.
"Grandpa, mourn."
Xu Changqing hugged Kong Yinzhi.
Kong Yinzhi's old tears surged out instantly, "Uncle Zhongyi, the family is unfortunate, the family is unfortunate." ”
After a simple greeting, the group quickly led Xu Changqing to Kong Yinzhi's corpse.
Kong Weibin's body lay beside a rockery not far from the wall.
Although the snow stopped this morning, it still fell last night, and most of Kong Weibin's body was covered in a layer of white snow foam.
However, even with the cover of snow foam, it still couldn't hide the terrifying hideousness, and around Kong Weibin's corpse, there was black and red blood everywhere.
There are clear traces of blood mist splattering on the stones of the rockery next to it.
Kong Weibin was even more dumbfounded, his eyes bulged out, his body was frozen stiff, and there was still a lot of alcohol left.
The blood words engraved by Kong Weibin before his death were at the bottom of a tall rockery, which was slightly blurred at this time, but it could be seen that the engraving was quite forceful.
Obviously, he died a miserable death, and he was extremely unwilling!
Seeing Kong Weibin's tragic situation, Xu Changqing also frowned a little.
To be honest, Xu Changqing really doesn't like a son-in-law like Kong Weibin, but this guy is just an ant, how can it be worth Xu Changqing's own hands?
Who has ever seen an elephant heed a defiant ant?
Moreover, even if Xu Changqing wanted to do it, he would not use such a clumsy way.
This is a clear plan to deduct basin on Xu Changqing's head!
Fortunately, Xu Changqing was outstanding at this time, and even if Kong Yinzhi was in extreme pain at this time, he did not dare to show the direction of the wind at will, and led the finger to Xu Changqing.
Although Zhu Youdi didn't speak, this guy had already expressed with his actions that he would stand on Xu Changqing's side, and he would always stand next to Xu Changqing not far away.
Xu Changqing glanced at the people around him, and sneered with some self-deprecation: "It seems that some people just think that I Xu is not happy!" Although Brother Kong and I had a misunderstanding before, it hasn't risen to this level of life and death! But Brother Kong died because of me Xu Changqing, and I will definitely give an explanation to Brother Kong, to Grandpa Yansheng, to the palace, to the Qingzhou Yamen and all the people of Qingzhou! ”
There was an instant silence around, and everyone didn't dare to face Xu Changqing's might.
Zhu Youdi sighed and said: "Hey, Uncle Zhongyi, no one wants this kind of thing to happen, now, everyone is here, let's start the inquest of the body, right?" ”
Xu Changqing glanced at Yan Shenggong, and Kong Yinzhi nodded painfully: "Let's start!" No matter who did it, the old man must make him pay! ”
Although his words were too much against Xu Changqing, the meaning in them was already a little overflowing, which made the already tense atmosphere around him suddenly condense.
Zhu Youdi hurriedly looked at Xu Changqing and glanced at Xu Changqing.
It means that Yan Shenggong is very sad now, and he will discuss it carefully when he calms down, and give him face at this time.
Xu Changqing's face was expressionless, but he didn't stimulate Kong Yinzhi again at this time.
Soon, several catchers and Qi Zuo worked together to carefully clean up Kong Weibin's body.
As Kong Weibin's body was cleaned up, the people around him suddenly gasped.
It's miserable.
Kong Weibin's original white clothes were already black and red, and he was stabbed at least a dozen times, and he didn't look like it.
Kong Yinzhi really couldn't stand this kind of misery, and finally couldn't help crying, Zhu Youdi hurriedly asked people to help him back to the room to rest.
Kong Yinzhi left, Zhu Youdi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Zhongyi, this, what's going on?" ”
Xu Changqing understood what Zhu Youdi meant, and said in a low voice: "Could it be that the prince also thinks that I did this matter?" ”
Zhu Youdi hurriedly said: "No! But now this ...... Hey, Lao Kong told Gu yesterday that he was going to go back to Qufu today. It's making a fuss now......"
Xu Changqing looked at Zhu Youdi's eyes and said, "Lord Wang, this matter has nothing to do with me. I have no entanglements with Yan Shenggong. I'll find out about this matter as soon as possible! ”
Looking at Xu Changqing's sincere eyes, Zhu Youdi also quickly came back to his senses.
Xu Changqing did have a slight contradiction with Kong Weibin, but this contradiction would never kill anyone, if Xu Changqing was so impulsive, then, how could he behead the slave chief Taiji in the Liaodong battlefield?
However, this kind of thing must be said by Xu Changqing himself, and he will be down-to-earth.
After a while, he sighed: "Eventful, eventful!" ”
Soon, the snow around Kong Weibin was also carefully cleared, and a trace of blood dripping all the way to the wall next to him, causing everyone to talk in a low voice.
Xu Changqing looked carefully for a while, was silent, came over to find Zhu Youdi and said, "Lord Wang, how did this matter spread?" ”
Zhu Youdi quickly understood what Xu Changqing meant, and said with a frown: "Gu was a little puzzled about this matter just now, and then he specially asked Lao Kong. He, he might be a little angry......"
Although what Zhu Youdi said was a little vague, how could Xu Changqing not understand? Kong Yinzhi was very angry and deliberately released the news.
Not long after, the yamen of Qingzhou Mansion has already arrested all the people who sent Kong Weibin back from the restaurant yesterday, and the prefect surnamed Wang, headed by him, hurriedly came over to ask Xu Changqing for instructions, do you want Xu Changqing to interrogate him personally?
Xu Changqing looked at the prefect's humble face, but in fact he was cautious to avoid it, he couldn't help but smile, let the Qingzhou Mansion Yamen interrogate, he didn't mix it in the slightest.
"Wronged, wronged, Lord Qingtian, we are wronged, this doesn't matter to us......"
With shouting not far away, the gang was dragged away.
Zhu Youdi's physical strength was also a little unbearable at this time, and he beckoned Xu Changqing to drink tea in the room next to him, and sighed: "This matter, speaking of it, lonely is also responsible, I didn't take care of things thoroughly, and now, I am not a person inside and out." ”
Xu Changqing said: "Lord, you can't say that. It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, and some things can't be avoided at all. Don't worry too much. ”
Zhu Youdi sighed deeply, kept shaking his head and smiling bitterly.
The two drank tea in silence, and Xu Changqing's mind also spun rapidly.
Everything has a cause before it has an effect.
This matter is far more complicated than imagined!
Kong Weibin is not only a descendant of the Kong family, but also has an identity.
A man who lifts people, or a man who is a descendant of the Confucian family, was killed in the peaceful Qingzhou area, and this matter will definitely reach the heavens.
Xu Changqing chatted with Kong Yinzhi last night, and in the future, he can buy grain from Kongfu, including some business cooperation.
However, Kong Yinzhi's attitude today is obviously extraordinary!
Xu Changqing understands very well that even if Kong Yinzhi is a little pedantic, he is by no means a wine bag and rice bag! But he made this attitude today, which means to target himself, and it is definitely not untargeted.
Crying children have milk to eat.
Let's be specific to the matter itself.
Xu Changqing still had many enemies at this time, and he was almost on the opposite side of the entire literati class.
However, there are not many people who can reach out to Qingzhou and take advantage of yesterday's scolding of Kong Gongzi on the street in such a short period of time!
And the two nephews of the ghost master who also wanted to eat swan meat before are undoubtedly the most suspicious!
Soon, the girl who got the news also hurried over.
She was very afraid of the dead, but at this time, she knew that Xu Changqing was being targeted, and she couldn't care about it anymore, at this time, she had to be by Xu Changqing's side.
Seeing Yishui coming, Zhu Youdi's gaze softened a lot, and he looked at Xu Changqing and said, "Uncle Zhongyi, if you have a ...... in this matter?" Candidates, let's do it as soon as possible. Now the city ban in Qingzhou has not been opened, and when the city ban is opened, it will not be good for people to run away. ”
Zhu Youdi's words were a bit heartfelt, he obviously didn't want Xu Changqing and Yishui's matter to be destroyed.
Xu Changqing smiled: "Lord Wang, this matter is okay. If the city can't be opened, I'm afraid this thing will be difficult. We're not in a hurry. Even if this black cauldron is carried by Xu Changqing, it is nothing. ”
"This ......"
Zhu Youdi was speechless, and he couldn't touch Xu Changqing's thoughts at all for a while.
Miss Yishui has been getting along with Xu Changqing a lot in the past few days, and she is already familiar with Xu Changqing, especially Xu Changqing's way of thinking, she seems to be able to keep up with some of it.
Beautiful eyes lit up and said, "Xu Lang, what do you mean, let's let them show their feet?" ”
