Wei Wu thought the matter was over, but just as he finished speaking, the Jinyiwei spoke again.

"It's my fault for not explaining it clearly, causing Marquis Changle to misunderstand. Your Majesty meant to let the White Lotus Sect handle it, not you."

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Wei Wu was stunned, then frowned and asked.

"What do you mean?"

Jinyiwei organized his words in his mind for a moment before continuing:

"His Majesty said that once you've dealt with the Kong family, you can return directly to the capital. There are more important matters waiting for you to deal with at the Academy of Science and Technology."

"For Shandong, you only need to make arrangements for the White Lotus Sect and then hand it over to us, the Jinyiwei, to handle it."

Only then did Wei Wu finally understand that Old Zhu was urging him to return to Beijing as soon as possible.

In fact, Wei Wu was a little tired after being out for such a long time, and he didn't need to worry about the next things personally.

With his prestige among the White Lotus Sect members, he only needs to appoint a spokesperson and those sect members will follow him wholeheartedly.

Moreover, it is not difficult to hear from the words of this Jinyiwei that there must be something important happening at the Institute of Science and Technology.

The key point is that apart from him, there is really no one else in the entire Ming Dynasty who can handle the problems of the Academy of Science and Technology.

If this is the case, things in Shandong really have to be handed over to others to handle.

After all, compared with the importance of the Academy of Science and Technology, these things are nothing.

Thinking of this, Wei Wu turned to look at the Jinyiwei and asked:

"Then who will take over the affairs in Shandong next? Is it you?"

"Yes, Marquis Changle, your majesty means that I will take over this place from now on."

Hearing this, Wei Wu nodded.

"Okay, then you stay by my side first. Once I have dealt with the Kong family's affairs, I will arrange an identity for you in the White Lotus Sect."

Seeing Wei Wu talking to the Embroidered Uniform Guards, everyone in the Kong family looked puzzled.

Everyone was wondering about the identity of the person who spoke to Wei Wu.

Only Kong Ne, the head of the family, was different. When he saw this scene, he seemed to have lost his soul in an instant.

It was as if all his energy and spirit had been drained away at the same time, and his face was filled with despair.

Kong Ne has a special feature that some people don't know about, which is that his hearing has been better than others since he was a child.

He could hear the distant sounds more clearly than others, even though Wei Wu and the Jinyiwei lowered their voices in their conversation.

But he still heard part of the conversation, which was why he was so desperate.

Before this Jinyiwei appeared, Kong Nedu only thought that Wei Wu's attack on their Kong family was most likely due to personal grudges.

From the last time when a student caused trouble and broke into the Earl's Mansion and was killed in the street, to now when Wei Wu brought people to the house and killed people in the main hall of the Confucius Mansion.

In Kong Ne's mind, the stereotype of Wei Wu is that he will avenge any grudge and is the kind of reckless person who acts without considering the consequences.

This is also why he just said that Wei Wu colluded with the White Lotus Sect and he would report it to the court.

But judging from the current situation, the emperor obviously knew about Wei Wu's Qufu and knew exactly what he had done.

In other words, everything Wei Wu is doing now has been approved by Zhu Yuanzhang.

In fact, it was Zhu Yuanzhang's order. How could he not despair?

If Wei Wu wanted to attack the Kong family, they would not be without the ability to resist, after all, this is Qufu.

But if the emperor wanted to destroy the Kong family, their only outcome under the imperial power would be death.

In the past, he was not afraid of the royal family because there were scholars all over the world. Even if the emperor hated the Kong family, he would not touch them.

Otherwise, they would be enemies of scholars all over the world, and then who would still serve their Ming Dynasty?

But it’s different now. The one attacking the Kong family is the White Lotus Sect, which is itself a notorious anti-traitor force.
