Xu Guangqi said directly: "Take a look at it. If you think there is no problem, please sign and seal it."

At this point, there was no point in saying anything, and the best way out was to confess. Although Kong Yinzhi felt resentful, he also understood that things had really come to this point.

I am now trapped here and can't get out. All the people who followed me have been arrested. It can be said that the Kong family has lost its backbone.

Even if the news reached Qufu, it would be useless.

Besides, Your Majesty has made up his mind this time, and no one can change Your Majesty's mind.

Kong Yinzhi suppressed his reluctance, reached out and picked up the confession prepared by Xu Guangqi, and quickly read it through.

In this confession, Xu Guangqi clearly stated the charges: colluding with local officials, reselling disaster relief grain, failing to discipline his subordinates, and selling grain to the Wenxiang Sect.

Every detail was clearly written. Of course, this was only what was written on the surface. Things like the Kong family bribing officials, both large and small, throughout Shandong were not mentioned.

Kong Yinzhi looked up at Xu Guangqi and said, "If I sign this confession, what will happen to our Kong family?"

"We won't kill you, nor will we send you into exile," Xu Guangqi said.

Xu Guangqi knew what His Majesty was thinking. He simply wanted to destroy the Kong family. At this critical moment, he could only do this.

If the entire Kong family were to be executed, that would be impossible. This matter was too big to handle.

However, if the Kong family is involved in illegal activities, they should still deal with some people. For example, if someone's life is involved, or if they are involved in a lawsuit, they will definitely be dealt with.

However, those are all middle and lower levels, and will not involve top-level people like Kong Yinzhi. After all, many things are not done by them.

As for how to deal with them in the future, that is a matter for the future, and we have to wait until the storm has passed.

However, the Kong family probably won't be able to leave much money and land this time. For a big family like the Kong family, many people may not be able to survive, and it is hard to say what they will do.

However, in Xu Guangqi's opinion, these people probably couldn't do anything. His Majesty couldn't let them go on their own and give them the time or opportunity to do anything.

The Kong family was probably surrounded by Jinyiwei. The Kong family would be closely watched and would be in trouble if they made any mistakes.

Kong Yinzhi listened to Xu Guangqi's words and a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face.

Kong Yinzhi also knew in his heart that only Xu Guangqi would dare to say this, and only he would say it to him. If it were anyone else, they would never say such words to him, nor would they dare to say such words to him.

In fact, Xu Guangqi just didn't want things to get complicated. If Kong Yinzhi didn't plead guilty, it would also become very troublesome.

After signing his name and pressing his fingerprint, Kong Yinzhi pushed the confession in front of Xu Guangqi and said to him, "Lord Xu, the things are already here."

"Go back and wait." Xu Guangqi nodded and said, "I will deliver the confession to His Majesty."

After saying this, Xu Guangqi took the confession and went straight to Zhu Youxiao.

However, Xu Guangqi was disappointed. He had never met Zhu Youxiao, and the confession was handed in by Chen Hong.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the confession in his hand with an expression of neither joy nor anger on his face.

After a while, Zhu Youxiao put down the confession in his hand, sighed softly and said, "Alright, since you have confessed your guilt, then let it be. Let the Jinyiwei send them back to Qufu."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Hong quickly agreed and said respectfully.

Although Zhu Youxiao wanted to kill them, he couldn't do it here. If they died in Jining, then the blame would definitely be on him.

However, Zhu Youxiao would not let them return to Qufu. A fragmented Kong family would be a good Kong family for him.

What's more, in Zhu Youxiao's mind, the Kong family should also split up.

How can such a big family not be divided?

If Kong Yinzhi and the others were alive, it would be difficult to divide the Kong family. This time, he wanted to split the Kong family apart.

Zhu Youxiao then asked Chen Hong, "Do you think Kong Yinzhi will feel guilty?"

After hearing what Zhu Youxiao said, Chen Hong quickly said, "The descendants of Confucius have done something that is unworthy of Your Majesty and the court. I'm sure they must be filled with shame and indignation. If it were me, I would probably commit suicide out of shame and indignation, and I would not be able to live in this world anymore."
