The group appeared several times, once destroyed the unexpected village, and the rest were hit by a wall. Now everyone can think clearly about their intentions. This group is just seeking wealth.

The group of people disappeared next. After a few years, there was a major case in Yanzhou Prefecture, saying that a relative of Princess Lu was destroyed, the whole family was killed, and Yu Jing was captured and all the family wealth was plundered.

King Lu began to inherit the country since the founding of the Ming Dynasty and had a great influence in Shandong. As soon as this incident happened, the Shandong officialdom suddenly shook, and all pressures were coming down, requiring a thorough investigation, and even the people from the Jinyiwei participated.

In fact, the case is not difficult to solve. Experienced constables can easily see that the method of this case is the same as the method of sweeping the Green Forest Village some time ago. After investigation, it was revealed that there were cases where wealthy families were suddenly thieves and their whole family died. These wealthy families lived in manors outside the city, and the government only found out a few days after the accident.

There are many things that everyone actually understands very well, but they are not willing to cause trouble. The bandits in the Green Forest have a close relationship with the public. The constables know that the case is big now, and everyone investigates directly at the officers and soldiers.

Without much effort, a general stationed in Ziyang, Yanzhou Prefecture City, was found out. This general was the relationship between Gao Gong, the chief assistant of Longqing year. In the Wanli year, the chief assistant Zhang Juzheng was naturally wronged. However, in the ninth year of Wanli, it was said that this general gave Zhang Ge Lao's confidant a great gift, and suddenly had a bright future. It is said that the next general of Shandong was probably his position.

However, everyone knows that Zhang Ge Lao died of illness in the tenth year of Wanli, and all the teams were cleaned up. Of course, there are no numbers of people he promised to promote. The money of this general was spent in vain.

There are rumors now that the ginseng general is going to collect money to go to the Wuqing Marquis. Wuqing Marquis was the empress dowager's father and the emperor's grandfather. He could not get the opportunity to get tens of thousands of taels of taels of money. The money could not be obtained by deducting military pay.

If you want to investigate, you can always find out things. Soon, news came out. The guards of the generals, who were in charge, left the city in some days, and said they went to hunt. Calculate the time. It happened that the case happened. In addition, the servants secretly took out the stolen jewelry to sell.

Even if the evidence is conclusive, it is necessary to make a long-term plan to capture such a person. He had a hundred and 100 skilled archers and excellent martial arts fighting men under his command, and once they started, it would be a disaster. He would have to report secretly to the court, gather troops everywhere, and then issue an order to capture people.

Everything was almost ready, and the general knew that his affairs were exposed. The situation at that time was no longer allowed to incite the army to cause trouble, but he also had an advantage. He was accomplices of the hundreds of people under his command, and he was inevitably cut into pieces after being arrested. He simply took advantage of the darkness and ran out of the barracks with his family overnight.

In theory, the next step was to escape from the desperate situation. Unexpectedly, this general had a lot of experience in robbing the mountain and then went up the mountain to get married.

This is amazing. A general who knows how to dispatch troops and generals, and there are also a hundred and ten skilled and well-equipped personal guards. Not long after, the Green Forest Road in Yanzhou Prefecture was completely swept away. The mountain village was destroyed by dissatisfaction. The rest bowed down and surrendered. Some outlaws surrendered to their reputations, and for a while, the momentum was greatly boosted.

However, the methods of this general were too extreme. Some of the destroyed counterfeiters ran directly to the government and surrendered, asking the government to send troops to wipe out the villages and towns. The gentry also asked the gentry to jointly report the villages, towns and manors that were harmed.

Then the officers and soldiers entered the battle. At the beginning, the officers and soldiers suffered several great losses, but as the troops gathered, the general was gradually blocked. After a big battle, the general and more than 50 subordinates died on the battlefield, and the others disappeared.

The knights that the bandits along the river saw happened to be the guards of the gang whom they had met back then.

This is a few thousand lives in his hand, and he is fighting with nearly 10,000 officers and soldiers. The killing gods who are rampant in the west and south of Shandong. Of course, it is not enough to gather these small figures in the martial arts world, let alone the result of the fire. He will definitely be killed by Yu Jing.

But the son of the general died in the meeting between the officers and soldiers. Everyone couldn't figure out what Kong Jiuying was, and they just thought he was the leader of the Kong family.

Relying on the means of rituals and then soldiers, and with the reputation of being true and false, Kong Jiuying completely took the village on the riverside in his hand, and then Kong Jiuying escorted the land he collected to the Confucius Mansion in Qufu. After returning, Kong Jiuying had become a distant relative of the Confucius Mansion, a series of procedures such as the clerks in charge of the village head, and the letters written by the Yansheng Gong Mansion to the local government became complete.

After Kong Jiuying took the farm in his hands, he began to collect money by sitting on the ground. He would take a commission to offer money, regardless of whether it was open or dark, or it would be difficult to move forward.

If you want to go there secretly, all the villages and towns here are afraid of Kong Jiuying, and no one dares to hide it. If you want to use strength, Kong Jiuying himself has 100 horse-riding heroes, and he can mobilize more than 500 brave men in the village. It is impossible to fight. If you want to go around, this village is at the intersection of the three provinces and occupies a huge area. If you go around, you will have to pay for money and meet someone else on the ground to collect money.

After a while, Kong Jiuying firmly held the Zhuangheyan Zhuang in his hand. In a blink of an eye, it had been almost thirty years.

"East Henan, western Shandong and northwest of southern Zhili, Kong Jiuying is the largest owner. The stolen goods from various counterfeit houses and all kinds of shameful things gathered in and out of his place. There is also the largest private salt market there, and there is also a Mule and Horse Market, which ranks third on the ground in Henan, is also there."

"The people who followed Kong Jiuying back then were old and died. Now there are more than 200 riders under Kong Jiuying's hands at any time. Hear, the brave men in various villages can gather a thousand people. The clerks in the county and prefectures are his juniors. To be honest, our Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is in the capital, and then Kong Jiuying is the local emperor at the intersection of the three provinces."

Zhao Jin's question seemed to open up Zhao Zhentang's conversation. After arriving at home, Zhao Zhentang kept talking about the deeds and legends of Kong Jiuying.

The father Zhao Zhentang's ability to express is not strong, but the story of Kong Jiuying and Kong Laohu does not sound boring, and Zhao Jin also listens with relish, but what is really meaningful to Zhao Jin is the next few sentences: Who is Kong Jiuying, how strong is in his hands, and how about his official relationship.

Zhao Jin was actually surprised that his father didn't like to say meaningless words, but today he obviously got off topic.

Not only was he surprised, his mother He Cuihua came over to urge the father and son to go to bed early, but Zhao Zhentang said impatiently: "Anyway, it's so late, so let's talk some gossip, you go back to bed first."

Such words were also abnormal. He Cuihua stared at him for a while, shook her head and went back first. Zhao Zhentang continued to say to Kong Jiuying: "It is not enough to cost five taels of silver for a small family a year, but Kong Jiuying earns at least five thousand taels a year. The back house has dozens of beautiful women, and the food and clothing cost is not bad at all than those of the wealthy families in the provincial capital. In the counties around him, the magistrate would be polite to laugh when he saw him. In that place, he was the king's law.

If he could really control that intersection, even if he didn't do illegal business and just trade, it would be easy to earn 5,000 taels in net. Zhao Jin analyzed this matter more clearly than Zhao Zhentang, but he still didn't understand what his father was going to say. Of course, Zhao Zhentang was also a bit abnormal tonight.

Zhao Zhentang was talking about Kong Jiuying's majesty, but there was no envy on his expression. After saying that, he looked at Zhao Jin sitting there and asked with a smile: "What do you think of Kong Jiuying?"

How is it? This question was beyond Zhao Jin's expectations. He pondered for a moment and said, "The local tyrant, He Weiyuan, is just a large-sized person."

What He Weiyuan did was essentially no different from this Kong Jiuying. He relied on force to dominate the side, and then made a fortune in various businesses openly and secretly.

Hearing Zhao Jin's answer, Zhao Zhentang grinned and said in an exaggerated tone: "Don't look down on them. As long as such people don't make any big mistakes, this family business will be passed down from generation to generation. Needless to say, there is no need to say that food, clothing, and food, and food are rich and decent. There is nothing wrong with having the opportunity in the future. Now I don't know how many scholars study and do academic research all day long. What are they trying to do? I just want to take the exam for an official career, live a good life, and glorify the ancestors."

Zhao Jin finally heard a little, and he tried to ask, "Dad, what do you mean?"

"There are only so many people when Kong Jiuying started his family, how many people do you have now? What kind of wealth did he have at the beginning? You have such a big family business now. Don't think that you offended Kong Jiuying and Yunshan Temple, as long as you are not careless, no one can touch you. After all, the king of the Ming Dynasty is the final decision. You will be the same as Kong Jiuying in the future. Moreover, if you start a family, you will be more decent than him in the future. Our family has the identity of a hundred households, which makes it easier for you to move upward. For example, today's peace, military achievements, and a title of marquis and generals are impossible. It is enough to get a big business, passed down from generation to generation," Zhao Zhentang said in a deep voice.

Even if Kong Jiuying could mobilize 10,000 people, he could only be rampant in the local area. If he really dared to bring people to fight, it would be equivalent to treason. The court would immediately send a large army to suppress the attacks. The ambush like He Weiyuan was already the limit, because the authority of the Ming Dynasty was still there, and no one dared to violate the rules and regulations set by the king.

Zhao Jin finally understood that his father Zhao Zhentang believed that his future would be like Kong Jiuying, and he would be much stronger than Kong Jiuying, and would become a great hero on the ground in Xuzhou.
