Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

"Master Kong, you don't want to tell me that it was because of my own fault that I was robbed by your servants, right?"

"Or, this time, just shirk responsibility and say that those servants are not from your Kong family at all?"

Whether he should say it or not, Kong Ne had actually thought about it before, just saying that those servants were impersonators and clearing himself of any responsibility.

But this idea is just thought. This is Qufu. Who dares to pretend to be a servant of the Kong family here?

What's more, this is not the first time that Tie Suo Heng Jiang has done this, so this excuse is totally untenable.

And the expression on Wei Wu's face now clearly said: If you keep talking nonsense to me, don't blame me for getting angry.

Under normal circumstances, Kong Ne would most likely not admit this matter. After all, this was in Qufu, and Wei Wu couldn't cause much trouble.

But it’s not possible now, because tomorrow is the Kong family’s most important annual Confucius Festival.

If Wei Wu really lost his temper at this time and affected the ceremony, it would damage the reputation of their Kong family if it got out.

Therefore, even though he was extremely reluctant, Kong Ne had no choice but to accept the matter.

"It is my fault that the Kong family did not discipline me properly. I never expected such a vicious slave to appear in our family. He actually dared to do such a thing as blocking the river and robbing people!"

"Since this was done by a servant of my Kong family, and it caused the Marquis of Changle to be humiliated, my Kong family will naturally not shirk responsibility."

"My Kong family will compensate the Marquis of Changle for the loss of one hundred thousand taels of silver. I will also leave those servants to you. Is this an acceptable arrangement?"

While Kong Ne was speaking, Wei Wu did not interrupt until he finished speaking, then he turned to look at Kong Xizhang beside him.

"Lax discipline? Who just said so confidently that the Kong family has strict family traditions and their children are well-behaved? Now you're saying they're lax in discipline?"

"You are the ones who are saying all the lies and nonsense. If you were me, do you think I would believe what you said?"

Not long ago, the two sides were on the verge of a war, but now Kong Ne could only hold his nose and speak to Wei Wu in silence.

But what they said was all true, and they had no choice but to endure the ridicule.

"Then I wonder what Marquis Changle wants? What can my Kong family do to satisfy him?"

"I never listen to what others say. Now, immediately, put the money and the people in front of me, and this matter will be over."

"it is good!"

Hearing Wei Wu's words, Kong Ne stood up without saying a word and shouted towards the door.

"Bring us a hundred thousand taels of silver, and bring back those bastards guarding the river mouth!"

"Yes, master!"

As soon as Kong Ne finished speaking, a resounding answer came from outside the door, and then the main hall fell silent.

Wei Wu glanced toward the horizon through the window and saw that it was getting dark outside.

Wei Wu arrived in the afternoon and spent a long time arguing with the people from the Kong family, wasting a lot of time.

One hundred thousand taels of silver is not a small amount of money, and it would take a lot of time just to transport it, but this is exactly what Wei Wu wanted.

By the time the silver and the people were brought over, it would probably be getting dark.

The fact was just as Wei Wu had expected. Although the Kong family had no shortage of manpower, it still took some time to transport the silver.

By the time the silver was delivered to Wei Wu, it was already dusk outside.

But neither Wei Wu nor the people from the Kong family said anything, because those servants had not been brought over yet.

After waiting for about three minutes, the servants were brought to Wei Wu with their hands tied behind their backs.

Looking at their bruised and swollen faces, it was obvious that they had been severely tortured by the Kong family.

The Kong family has probably already figured out the cause and effect, and the whole story of what happened on the ship.

Otherwise, these people would not have been sent here after all the silver had been moved.

In fact, Wei Wu originally planned to deal with these guys when he took action, but the plan changed at the last minute.

Since he is going to come to the Kong Mansion anyway, he might as well deal with these guys and give his men some vent.

Thinking of this, Wei Wu stood up and walked to the leading servant.

But before he could open his mouth, the servant started crying loudly.

"Sir, I am guilty of blackmailing you, but I only took one thousand taels of silver from you, not a hundred thousand!"

"Sir, you have to have a conscience! I can return the money to you. If you are angry, you can kill me to vent your anger."

"But you're just talking about a hundred thousand taels. Even if I had the guts to do that, I wouldn't dare to extort that much money!"

Hearing this, Wei Wu chuckled. If nothing unexpected happened, these words must have been asked to be said by those people from the Kong family.

One hundred thousand taels of silver must be given, but they can use this incident to deliberately embarrass Wei Wu.

It’s a pity that the people from the Kong family thought too much. Wei Wu had never intended to take money from the beginning, so how could it be embarrassing!

So, after the servant finished speaking, he just responded lightly.

"That's right! You only extorted a little over a thousand taels of silver. So what? Can't I ask your master for a hundred thousand taels of silver?"

"Also, last time you were on my boat, you told me three times that this is Qufu. Here, you are the law and you are the rules."

"Now let me ask you, so what if this is Qufu? Where are your laws and rules? Use them against me!"

Those people from the Kong family originally wanted to embarrass Wei Wu, but they didn't expect that Wei Wu would be so generous in talking about the money he had been scammed.

No, not only did he say it, the key point was that he fought back and deliberately used what the servant said to embarrass the Kong family.

Although what the servant said was true, such a thing could not be made public even if it was true.

Especially in front of Wei Wu, you have to know that he is a member of the imperial faction and has a very good relationship with the Zhu family.

I have to say that although the people from the Kong family did not show it, Wei Wu's eye drops did make them feel disgusted.

Now, they just want to get rid of Wei Wu, the plague god, as soon as possible. Anyway, the matter has been resolved, so out of sight, out of mind.

So Kong Ne, the head of the family, spoke again.

"Marquis Changle, I've handed the person over to you now, and the silver is also here. The matter is settled, and my Kong Mansion will not send them away..."

Kong Ne wanted to send the guest away, but Wei Wu would never let him do so, so he interrupted him on the spot.

"Wait! Did I say this is over?"
