Chapter 1237
"Follow the public and abide by the law? You still have the nerve to say this. Your name is Kong Ling, right? You should be the leader now. Zhong Yao, what crimes does he have?"
Here!
"Kong Ling, a native of Qufu, Shandong, a direct descendant of the Kong family, killed the maid three years ago, and killed all the maid's family members at the same time..."
After Zhong Yao's words came out, that Kong Ling's face became darker and darker, because he didn't expect that everything he had done would be found out now, and nothing was missed.
After Zhong Yao read all the crimes of the Kong family members who were kneeling here, they were all paralyzed on the ground.
As for the people here, there was no one who had no murders, and these were all murders that occurred after Ye Feng ascended the throne.
"Zhong Yao, you are the person who presides over the compilation of the laws of the Tang Dynasty. Tell me what their punishment should be according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty."
"Your Majesty, according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, the murderer dies, so these people should be executed by Qiu Hou Wen."
"Have you heard, I have been very kind to you, or forget it, I will save you from death."
Hearing what Night Breeze said, the people whose eyes were still filled with ashes just now seemed to have found hope for life again, and then all looked at Night Breeze.
"However, capital crimes can be avoided, and living crimes cannot be escaped. Let's do this. If you die, you will die. After all, your Kong family is also a big family, so all the men should be sent to mines. Such a good labor force cannot be wasted. The women should be sent first." Go to Shaofu, the wool workshop over there is in great need of people."
Here!
Night Breeze stood up after saying this, and the Kong family seemed to feel worse than death at this moment.
You must know that what the ancients said is useless is that scholars are not joking.
Scholars in ancient times only knew how to read books all day long, so they said that they were not good at other life skills.
If it is those poor scholars, they will be more or less able, after all, their family environment determines that they must know some, and now it is not in the stereotyped period, so some of the poor scholars at this time can still farm.
However, he was talking about poor scholars, not people from big families like the Kong family.
The Kong family has always claimed to be a family of saints, so all the children of the family must be educated.
And because these people have those who have been turned into slaves by their families to help with farming and so on, they don't know anything at all, except for reading and enjoying happiness.
But for Night Breeze, these people who can only read should be sent to reeducation through labor, so that they can experience the suffering of working people.
Of course, Night Breeze's slaves were indeed not enough, so he wanted to make good use of these surplus heat.
Instead of killing them all at once, it's better to let them help create some wealth. After all, Night Breeze has to support a large family now.
And when Night Breeze dealt with the Kong family members in Luoyang, a big event was happening in Qufu, Shandong.
It turned out that after receiving Night Breeze's order, Sheng Qi, who was still guarding the front line in Shandong, personally led the army to Qufu.
Because since Night Breeze's Northern Expedition, the east side has completely stabilized.
During the Northern Expedition, none of them fished, so Shengqi and Big Hammer were bored in the east.
At the same time, they had received the news when the Western Regions were entrusted, and then Dian Wei, Shengqi, and Big Hammer jointly asked Night Breeze to entrust them in the Western Regions.
They didn't want that piece of land, but wanted to go to the Western Regions to fight, but in the end Night Breeze ruthlessly rejected the news of the three of them.
But Night Breeze agreed to them, that is, when they waited too long to launch the Tianzhu War, they were allowed to attack Tianzhu.
But now the south is in the rainy season, so the battle naturally needs to be moved back for a while, and it needs to wait for the man's rainy season to pass.
So Sheng Qi, who was crazy about wanting to fight, received Ye Feng's order, and at the same time, when he learned that the Kong family had a private soldier of nearly a thousand people, Sheng Qi was afraid that Dian Wei and the big hammer would snatch him away. Seeing his chance, he led the army towards Qufu non-stop.
And because Sheng Qi led cavalry, he had already arrived in Qufu at this time.
At the same time, Jiang Shang, who is the shepherd of Qingzhou, also sent someone to deal with the matter here at this time.
When Sheng Qi had just entered Qufu with the army, he saw some people working in the field in shackles, and at the same time some supervisors were watching these people with leather whips.
You must know that the slaves composed of Goguryeo people in Yefeng did not work in shackles, but here these people were working in shackles in the ground.
And when they saw Sheng Qi rushing over with the army, those who supervised the work in the field wanted to run to report.
But how could Shengqi agree, he picked up his own bow from his saddle, and then directly shot the bow and arrow at the fastest man.
call out!
As the sound of arrows passing through the air sounded, the fastest man was shot through the heart with an arrow, and then fell to the ground.
At this time, the cavalry behind Shengqi had already chased after that person.
Those who knelt on the ground could have escaped, but those who still wanted to run, how could they outrun the horses, and soon these people were cut down on the ground.
And these cavalry quickly spread around, because their task was to rescue all the slaves in Qufu and hand them over to the officials who came over later.
As for Sheng Qi, at this time he had already rushed towards Kong's manor with an army of hundreds of people.
And at this time, how could the Kong clan not know that an army had already entered their territory, so now the gate of Kong's manor was closed, and there were still some people holding weapons on the wall.
When Sheng Qi came, he realized that the Kong family's manor was about the same size as a small city, and the city walls were about as high as those of some county towns.
And this is obviously an illegal building in this era. It is estimated that the Confucian family was favored by the previous dynasties, and then the Confucian family took the opportunity to build it.
But this time the Kong family is destined to be doomed, because they have offended His Majesty, as long as they offend His Majesty's people, then they are doomed to perish.
"Listen, people inside. I am Sheng Qi, the Zhendong general of the Tang Dynasty. You better come out and surrender quickly, and don't force me to use force. If I use force, then you Kong family don't blame me for being rude. Your Majesty said it If anyone resists, then kill them without mercy, if you don’t resist, then your Kong family may still have a chance.”
