Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

"Bring back the remaining portion. We are a family of virtuous saints, and we must control this grain."

"In the future, when we are ready, we will spread this grain throughout the world. This will show the kindness of the saints."

It has to be said that Kong Xizhang's method can only be regarded as harmful to others and not beneficial to himself, and is far inferior to Kong Ne's.

Kong Ne's method not only harms the interests of the world, but also brings huge benefits and fame to the Kong family.

No wonder he could become the contemporary Yansheng Duke. Apart from his status as the legitimate son, it was probably because he was shameless enough!

Therefore, after Kong Ne said this, he immediately gained the support of all the core members of the Kong family.

However, just as everyone in the Kong family was about to flatter Kong Ne, there was a knock on the door.

"Master, there's someone outside the mansion asking to see you with a visiting card. The card is signed by Lord Changle!"

Hearing what the servant outside the door said, everyone in the Kong family was stunned.

Lord Changle?

It should be Marquis Changle!

But why did Marquis Changle suddenly come to Qufu, and at such a critical time when the sacrifice was about to take place?

Just when everyone in the Kong family was full of doubts, Kong Ne suddenly spoke.

"Everyone, what do you think of Wei Wu's sudden visit? Is he here because of the Imperial Academy student incident?"

After hearing Kong Ne's words, everyone looked at each other, but no one could come up with an answer.

The main reason was that they didn't expect Wei Wu to show up in Qufu.

Just when everyone was silent, Kong Xizhang, who was sitting next to Kong Ne, suddenly spoke up:

"I don't think so. We handled that matter very cleanly and can guarantee that no clues were left behind."

Having said that, Kong Xizhang paused for a moment before continuing:

"As far as I know, Wei Wu was in Yangzhou not long ago. That's when we sent someone there to get rid of Lu Yao."

"It's just that the people we sent out haven't returned yet. Since the festival is coming soon, I'll let this matter go for now."

"It seems Wei Wu has been investigating the Lu family incident as well. Could it be that he came looking for us because our people were exposed?"

Lu family!

Hearing this word, Kong Ne's eyes narrowed immediately, and a hint of worry rose in his eyes.

Although he had only taken over as the head of the family for a year, he was very familiar with what the Kong family did to manipulate the Lu family.

If Wei Wu really came to Qufu because of this matter, then it is certain that he came with bad intentions.

Lu Yao is Lu Yi's illegitimate son and the last bloodline left by Lu Yi to the Lu family.

Lu Yi will definitely tell Lu Yao everything that the Lu family and the Kong family did in secret, so that he can be careful.

At the same time, this matter can also be used as a means of saving lives at critical moments.

If Lu Yao fell into Wei Wu's hands, who could guarantee that he could withstand the torture and not tell these things?

Interfering in and manipulating the succession of imperial power is a serious crime punishable by beheading and extermination of nine generations of the clan. Once Lu Yao opens his mouth, Wei Wu will definitely report the matter.

Zhu Yuanzhang already had some opinions about the Kong family, and he also attached great importance to the prince's lineage.

If he knew that they were behind the smallpox incident, he would probably take up arms and attack the Kong family immediately.

In fact, it’s not just Kong Ne, everyone else in the Kong family thinks so too.

The people of the Kong family looked down on Zhu Yuanzhang and always thought that he was just a beggar from a mud-bedecked family.

In their eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang did not have the overall perspective to consider the scholars of the world, and only knew how to pick up a knife and kill people.

So, after hearing Kong Xizhang say that Wei Wu had been to Yangzhou and the people they sent had not returned yet.

These core members of the Kong family were all panicked.

"Master, if Wei Wu really came to us because of that incident, then, how should we respond?"
