Chapter 2487 Siege of the County

The gentleman is best at connecting things like this.

Inconvenient transportation and travel, the channels for obtaining information are single, and ordinary people only get information from government officials and local gentry members.

Therefore, ordinary people are more willing to believe the words of the gentry and old people.

After a night of connection, the next morning, hundreds of Qufu people surrounded Qufu yamen led by a group of scholars.

Among these scholars, the most famous scholar was just a scholar, among which seven or eight child students, and the rest were scholars who had been studying for a few years but failed to get fame.

"Let people go, let people go."

The leading scholar shouted loudly in the direction of the county government.

Other scholars and the people gathered outside the yamen were also shouting, shouting words to let the yamen release people.

Several guards outside the yamen all picked up the muskets in their hands, and the bayonets pointed at the crowds gathered outside the yamen.

Step! Step! Step! Step!

A burst of rapid footsteps came from the yamen, and soon a team of more than thirty soldiers came out of the yamen and blocked the front of the main gate of the yamen.

"Why do you want to arrest people? I will release my Kong clan elder immediately." The scholar in the leader looked at the extra tiger-shaped flag soldiers, and there was no sign of fear on his face, and he still shouted to the yamen to release people.

However, his not being afraid does not mean that others are not afraid either.

Many people in the crowd already had the intention of retreating. If they hadn't felt that they were easily resentful to others when they left at this time, someone might have sneaked away.

"Go back, you can't besiege the government if you have anything to do." Kong Zhenkan walked out from behind the door and stood on the stone steps at the entrance of the yamen.

His eyes glanced around the crowd.

In the crowd, he saw the servants from the homes of several tribes.

"You are here just right. The people are arrested by the county government. Should you release the people? Don't forget that you are also a member of the Kong clan?" The scholar met Kong Zhenkan.

Almost all scholars who have participated in the imperial examinations in Qufu in recent years have seen Kong Zhenkan, the magistrate of Qufu County.

After all, if you want to have an imperial examination, the first level is the county examination.

"I know you, your name is Kong Yan." Kong Zhenkang's eyes fell on the scholar in front of him.

The scholar bowed his hand slightly and said, "That's right, it's the student."

"I remember you are also a scholar. Don't you know what the charge is to attack the government?" Kong Zhenkan asked in a deep voice.

"Official?" The scholar snorted softly and said, "Students don't think this is still my Ming Dynasty government, and my Ming Dynasty government will not just hold people to prison."

Kong Zhen's face was sank after hearing this and said, "Nothing is wrong, what is the Ming government in the Ming Dynasty? Since it is a arrest, there are naturally reasons to arrest people. Take people back and don't make trouble here."

Exit the scholar in front of you and leave.

After all, it was a scholar raised by Kong's family. He didn't want to see a scholar from Kong's family lose in such a meaningless battle.

"As long as people are released and the tiger flag comes out to apologize, the students will leave immediately." The scholar said to Kong Zhenkang.

Upon hearing this, Kong Zhenkang's face turned gloomy.

I was saving him, and I didn't want to see such a talent lose it like this, but I didn't expect the other party to become more and more arrogant.

"Whether you let go or not is the government's business. As a scholar, you should spend your energy on the examination, rather than besieging the county government with people. Listen to my advice, go back and don't be deceived by others and get involved in the matter here." Kong Zhenkan decided to give the other party one more chance.

He didn't want to see such a young scholar in this matter.

"Reading is to understand the truth, and students come here to explain this truth. You arrest people for no reason and want to occupy other people's wealth. What a robbery behavior. If you don't let people go today, we will wait here to let the people of Qufu see how you robbers bully the good people." The scholar Kong Yan shouted loudly.

"Yes, as long as you don't let anyone go, we won't leave."

"Don't let anyone go, don't leave."

The crowd shouted.

Seeing this, Kong Zhenkang knew that it was hard to persuade the damn ghost. Since the other party was determined to stay and cause trouble, he was too lazy to persuade the other party.

Instead, he looked at the other people outside the yamen and said, "I don't know who you believed in the inspiration to come to the yamen to make trouble, but I want to tell you that there are naturally reasons for arresting people, and it's useless to surround you here. It's better to disperse first and you will know why the arrested people will be done during the public trial meeting."

Since Kong Yan did not listen to his advice, he focused on others.

As long as most of the people who gathered outside the yamen were persuaded to leave, the remaining two or three people would not cause much trouble.

"I won't give us an explanation today, and we won't leave either. Who knows if you will come to settle the score one by one after we leave?" scholar Kong Yan shouted loudly.

I was afraid that someone would really believe Kong Zhenkan's words, so I chose to go back and wait for the public trial meeting.

When Kong Zhenkan heard this, he almost became angry and raised his beard.

If he didn't understand at this time, Kong Yan had been bribed by someone, and he had been the magistrate of Qufu County for so many years.

"Yes, if we don't leave, we must let them give an explanation, otherwise we would think that our Kong family is easy to bully."

Someone shouted in the crowd.

It is obvious that Kong Yan is not the only one who has been bribed.

"Second camp chief."

Just as Kong Zhenkang was thinking about how to persuade the crowd gathered outside the county government to go back, someone came from behind him to call the deputy camp commander.

Hearing the sound, he immediately looked back.

I saw Yu Huai and several soldiers walked out from inside.

"It's him, the one he ordered to arrest." When scholar Kong Yan saw Yu Huai, he pointed at Yu Huai with his finger and shouted loudly, wanting everyone else to see Yu Huai clearly.

"Yes, it was the one I ordered to arrest." Yu Huai admitted frankly.

The scholar Kong Yan said, "Since you admit it, why don't you release the person quickly and arrest him for no reason. No matter what your identity is, you must be reasonable."

"Everyone!" Yu Huai ignored him, but looked at the noisy crowd outside the yamen and said loudly, "Many of you gathered here after being bewitched by others. I don't blame you, after all, you were also deceived by some people who are interested."

"Don't listen to his instigation. Let's arrest him and exchange him for the elders of the three clans and the five clans."

The scholar Kong Yan did not give Yu Huai more chance to speak, and called on everyone around him to besiege Yu Huai.

However, before he could make any moves, the tiger-shaped flag soldier guarding the yamen took the musket in his hand and forced a few people who wanted to take the opportunity to step forward.
