Lu Fang was only in his early thirties, and he was already in the fourth rank of the official body of the golden knife catch, and was given a golden sword and jade medal by the Son of Heaven, so that he could walk freely in the palace.

However, such a decent job is not as comfortable as outsiders think.

First of all, maintaining the safety and security of the palace is the responsibility of the 3,000 Imperial Forest Army and the 800 internal guards, and there is no need to meddle with the golden knife at all. And the palace, at least on the surface, is a peaceful atmosphere; Even if there is occasional friction between palace maids and eunuchs, or harem concubines and concubines, as long as there is no human life, then there is no need to catch a fast dog with a golden knife and take a mouse, and there is someone in charge to calm down the incident.

Most of the reasons why you want to use the golden knife to catch and dispatch quickly are just because of the loss of valuables in the palace. However, if any nobleman in the harem loses an object, he only needs to find the palace maid on duty and ask three questions and six questions, or turn the suspicious place out of the bottom, and nine times out of ten, it will be settled; Only the remaining 12 out of 10 possibilities are the danger of this job.

Everyone knows that "chivalry violates the prohibition by force", but what kind of prohibition did they violate?

No matter how much money you get that day, you either treat yourself to a family or squander it, and you often spend a lot of money on the same day! These people have the heroism of helping the world, and they are living a stimulating life with today and no tomorrow, even if they save a lot of money, who can they leave it to spend?

Jianghu people have no ability to manage money, and they worship the red-faced Guan Gong, and they can't help but say half a good word at all; Therefore, throughout the ages, none of the people who have stolen the country and usurped power have been born as serious figures. Let's put it bluntly, these people in the rivers and lakes who can't support the wall with mud don't have the ability to change the day at all!

As for those killers who seriously violated the laws of the imperial court, they were only born because of market demand, and they existed since ancient times; Even if there are fewer Jianghu people who make a living from this, there will always be outlaws who want to earn this silver to fill it.

So why are these three religions and nine streams, ghosts, snakes, and gods on the rivers and lakes hated by the king?

In fact, this answer is also a little funny, it is a simple word: annoying!

As far as Qi Yan's master, Xiaoqimen, is concerned, all the thieves who can be called famous in the rivers and lakes, which master has not played with a few royal things in his hands? Even when Qi Yan was out of school, he stole a scroll of ancient paintings hidden by Emperor Tianyou in the imperial study from the palace, and now it is hanging in the "Yu Ancient Hall" of the Nankang antique family!

Because according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, as long as a thief has an orthodox teacher and can abide by the rules of conduct; So when he stole a royal thing from the palace, the original thief became a thief, and he got out of the ranks of the three indiscriminate in one fell swoop.

People are ashamed, and if there are other choices, more people are still willing to take the right path; However, it is not a shame to fall into the rivers and lakes for a bowl of full rice; But after learning a craft, eating and dressing without worrying at all, who wants to continue to be regarded as inferior? For these surviving thieves, how should they spend the rest of their lives? How can self-worth be realized?

It's all counting on stealing the emperor's things!

As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves. The thief enters the palace every day for internship and breaking into the brand, which is enough for the emperor to worry about; And those chivalrous men who come and go like the wind and have exquisite exercises have to add a "more" word to the thief than the thief! Don't mention it far away, just say that the old name is Huazi Wu Chengfeng. When he walked the rivers and lakes in his early years, he once entered the palace at night and left a threatening note for Emperor Tianyou:

Tomorrow night, take the head of Erxiang.

The reason why Wu Chengfeng left a note was only because a little beggar in the gang inadvertently caught a black dog that day. After the hot dog meat pot and drank too much wine, he made a bet with the brothers of the beggar gang, saying that he was invincible in the world in martial arts, and it was easy to enter the palace and slaughter the emperor at night single-handedly.

It was late at night, and Emperor Tianyou had been busy for a day, so he had already fallen asleep on the queen's couch. The drunken old man named Hanako, who got lost after three or two turns, went to the tall and majestic Zijin Hall in a daze, and of course the result was also empty. The drunken cat-like Wu Chengfeng failed to assassinate the emperor, so he took out a dirty little pickle, put a note on the plaque of diligence and love for the people, and used it as a certificate that he had come, and left the Zijin Palace in a leisurely manner.

After waking up, the beggar disciples' alcohol smell was almost gone. The little Huazi all regarded yesterday's incident as a joke, and although Wu Chengfeng had this ability, there was really no reason to assassinate a good emperor who was diligent and loved the people because of a drunken remark! So this matter was also regarded as a joke by him and put it behind him......

Wu Chengfeng had forgotten to be clean, but Emperor Tianyou was almost frightened crazy by him! For a whole month, the Imperial Forest Army, the Ouchi Guards, the Catchers at the Yamen, and the Zijin Battalion, which was responsible for the defense of the city, were all operating at full capacity, swearing to protect His Majesty to the death. But the person who left the book did not come, and the right did not come, the soldiers were miserable, and Emperor Tianyou himself was insomnia for more than 50 days.

Although these Jianghu people do not have much influence on the affairs of their family and country at all; But they are like a toad jumping on the surface of their feet, and if they don't bite people, they will be disgusting! If you want to be a good emperor, it's a hard job, dizzy and dizzy from being tortured by ministers and concerts during the day, and throwing things at home every day at night, how can you live this day!

Therefore, the position of Golden Knife Capture is actually set up to prevent thieves from catching thieves; Although these people are called fast catchers, they are all elites drawn from those top catchers with excellent martial arts, clean net worth, and rich experience in the rivers and lakes.

If you want to become a fast catcher in one place, you must inevitably deal with the local land snakes; Three religions, nine streams, five elements and eight works, which temple gate is not required to burn a furnace of incense; And those well-known top catchers must at least be half-opened; If you can't even receive a rumor, where can you catch the thief and solve the case? And the common people often talk about "soldiers and bandits are one family", in fact, this is also the truth.

Lu Fang, who came to trouble Shen Gui today, was born in a family of golden knife catchers in Yanjing City. His father, Lao Lu, has been a golden knife catcher for more than 40 years; With his heroic spirit of righteousness and wealth and his excellent means, he has made a name for himself in the rivers and lakes, and has burned the same incense and exchanged brothers' posts with many big-character celebrities. A few days ago, his son Xiao Lu had just graduated from school, and Emperor Tianyou personally issued a decree to give Xiao Lu, who had not made an inch, directly sealed the identity of a four-grade golden knife catcher.

In this way, you can find a job.

Emperor Tianyou's move is actually not difficult to understand. After all, the three generations of the Lu family are all from the public family, and they are even more loyal to the Beiyan Zhou family, and they have no two hearts. And Lao Lu has served for many years, whether it is the proportionality of dealing with people or the ability to handle cases, he can't find the slightest fault; But as Lao Lu got older, he had already written to resign three times, but he was forcibly pushed back by His Majesty; Now his son Xiao Lu Yiman has come out of the school and has given a decree to summon him into the palace, just to take over his father's class in the future! In this way, Lao Lu has to work hard for at least another three and five years, at least after training Xiao Lu well, he can retire with peace of mind, right?

As a result, Xiao Lu, who had never even done a serious errand for a day, turned into a four-grade golden knife catcher who was sealed by His Majesty. When it comes to martial arts attainments, Xiao Lu is more than a star and a half higher than his father Lao Lulai! He studied under Bai Qishan, a master of the Sanjin Sword Technique, as long as it is a blade with a handle, no one can play with Young Master Lu; But when it comes to the experience of the rivers and lakes, the experience of martial arts, the gap between him and his father is completely far away!

Since he can accurately tell the origin of Qi Geqi and Qi Yan, he naturally has memorized the information of Shen Gui and others long before he set off! Now that he knows that the defeat is decided, and the two sides have not formed a blood feud, according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, as long as he shouts "yes", Shen Gui, who is a fellow in the rivers and lakes, will definitely be willing to stop in time and spare his life......

It's just the debt of an old horse pulling a cart, and it's enough to pay people money!

However, Lu Fang thought about this matter too complicated, and Shen Gui's swordsmanship was too simple. He thought that the distance between his neck and the blade was too short, and he couldn't say a few words even if he spoke, so he simply chose the first way - rolling forward, which is commonly known as lazy donkey rolling.

Swish!

The Spring Rain Sword is indeed worthy of the name of the Ancient Divine Soldier, although Shen Hui has not been able to understand its true meaning, but the edge of the blade alone is enough to open a huge gap with ordinary swords! The sword swept over, instantly cutting off half of the official hat on Lu Fang's head, and flew out far away with a mass of black and thick bundle of hair......

In fact, after the two sides exchanged three moves, Shen Gui knew what level this official was. Don't look at this Lu Fang is not young, but he is obviously a stunned young man who has just set foot in the rivers and lakes! Although the knife path in his hand is obviously a loose move after being dismantled by the master, it seems that he has also reached the realm of freedom in which the heart turns at will and the knife moves freely; But in fact, his gestures were full of jerky and clumsy feelings, as if he had just bought a new pot at home, and if he wanted to completely control the heat, he still needed to go through several transformations!

In fact, as long as Lu Fang grinds down those "iron stubble edges", he will be able to step into the ranks of top masters immediately! Of course, the premise is that he has to carry the psychological shadow of today!

Shen Gui swept with a sword, and Lu Fang felt a chill on the top of his head; He took advantage of the bright moonlight, looked down at the half-cut official hat and hair that fell to the ground, and thought that he had been cut off half of his head by Shen Gui, his facial features began to become distorted, and his mouth kept chattering:

"It's gone, the head is gone!"
