Chapter 168: False Decree
"After Linghu Xian's nephew repelled Tian Boguang, he asked the little apprentice Yilin to report to Liu's mansion, and when we arrived there, Linghu Xian's nephew was gone, and I didn't see anyone else, so I thought that Linghu's nephew had left, and now I think about it, it's worrying. But fortunately, the auspicious people have their own natural appearance, so that the fox and nephew are blessed with high stars, and they will definitely turn evil into good fortune. ”
Dingyi clasped his palms together and said in a long voice.
Feng Zhou also nodded, and said with a smile: "Chong'er is trained by my eldest brother, and his martial arts are even more outstanding, so he must be fine." ”
After he said this, he said to Liu Zhengfeng: "Senior Brother Liu, I heard about the Fuwei Dart Bureau in Nanchang, so I went all the way west and met Senior Brother Mo in Hengshan Town, and we discussed a very serious problem and wanted to discuss it with Senior Brother Liu......
Liu Zhengfeng raised his eyebrows, glanced at Feng Zhou deeply, nodded and said, "Since Senior Brother Yue and Senior Brother Mo have a topic to discuss with me, it is naturally the best, there is a quiet room over there......"
......
An hour later, Feng Zhou, Mo Da, Liu Zhengfeng and others walked out of the clean room, seeing that Feng Zhou's face was as usual, but the senior brothers of Hengshan were calm, and their eyes showed a trace of flame.
All of you present are human spirits, and you naturally know that the leaders of Huashan and Hengshan are talking about big things, although they have avoided Tianmen and Dingyi, but the two of them have no other thoughts in their hearts.
For some big secrets, it's better for me not to know or not to know.
Suddenly, news came from outside, Yue Buqun, the head of the Huashan faction, led the eldest disciple Ling Hu Chong, the second disciple Lao Denuo, and the younger daughter Yue Lingshan to be present.
You must know that Yue Buqun has not gone down to the Jade Girl Peak of Huashan Mountain much in the past three years, but the Huashan faction has been surging in the rivers and lakes, showing its majesty, and his brother Yue Buming has swept through Hunan and Jiangxi with thunderous means.
The younger brother is already like this, as the head of the Huashan faction of the elder brother, how clever is the martial arts of the gentleman Jianyue Buqun, that is, it is even more fascinating.
Liu Zhengfeng was overjoyed and said: "First Senior Brother Yue, then Head Yue, my Liu Mansion is really full of brilliance!"
Feng Zhou said with a smile: "The eldest brother always plans to make a move, since he has already appeared, he has already made a decision." ”
When Liu Zhengfeng heard this, he was even more happy in his heart, and immediately took Feng Zhou out to greet him.
The two walked out of the gate together, and Feng Zhou said to Yue Buqun: "Big brother, I came one step ahead of you and brought my disciples in, don't be surprised." ”
He glanced at Ling Hu Chong and saw that he was walking vigorously, and he seemed to have recovered as before, but his face was sallow, his spirit was slightly poor, and he seemed to have suffered a lot of injuries.
Yue Buqun chuckled and said: "Yue Daxia's sword swept Tiannan, swept across Hunan and Jiangxi, the underworld friends in the world heard your Yue Daxia's name, they were all terrified, how dare I be strange to you?"
He said to Liu Zhengfeng again: "Brother Xian, you are prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, so you want to retreat bravely in a hurry, this kind of wisdom and courage is very admirable, this time you let yourself retreat, it is really gratifying." ”
Liu Zhengfeng laughed and said: "To be praised by the gentleman's sword, Liu Zhengfeng is really fortunate to have three lives!"
The three of them laughed together, then walked through the door hand in hand. The other masters also descended to greet him.
Yue Buqun exchanged a few words with everyone, his tone was modest, which was very different from Yue Buming's domineering and domineering just now, Tianmen, Mo Da and the others saw Feng Zhou standing behind Yue Buqun, without the appearance just now, and they couldn't help but have a strange look in their hearts.
It seems that he is a friend in front of Yue Buqun, but in front of Yue Buming, he is like a subordinate.
There are guests from all walks of life in Liu's mansion one after another. This day is the day of Liu Zhengfeng's "golden basin washing", and at two o'clock in the morning, Liu Zhengfeng returned to the inner hall and was entertained by his disciples.
It was nearly noon, and five or six hundred distant visitors poured in. What is the deputy gang of the beggar gang advocate Jin Ao, what Zhengzhou Liuhemen Xia Lao boxer, as well as the Sichuan-Hubei Three Gorges Goddess Feng Tie Lao, the East China Sea Sand Gang leader Pan Roar, Qujiang Eryou Shendao Bai Ke, Shenbi Luxisi and others have arrived one after another. At one time, the hall greeted and made a loud noise.
According to the status and prestige in the martial arts, the head of the Taishan faction, Tianmen Dao, should sit in the chief, but the Wuyue Sword Sect has formed an alliance, and half of the Tianmen Daoist, Mr. Mo Da and Yue Buqun, Dingyi Shitai and others are masters, and it is inconvenient to sit down.
Feng Zhou naturally didn't bother to pay attention to these things, and went straight back to the Huashan faction, and sat next to Lin Pingzhi and Ling Huchong.
Suddenly heard two gongs, drums sounded in unison, two teams of officials gongs sounded to open the way, to the front of the mansion, Liu Zhengfeng confessed, quickly greeted out, a moment, accompanied by an arrogant official into the hall.
The people sitting in the rivers and lakes looked at each other, and for some reason, people from the government came.
I saw the official stand in the center of the hall, and a servant stepped forward and knelt down, raised his hands high, and presented a tray, and the official picked up the yellow scroll in the tray and said loudly: "The holy decree has arrived, and Liu Zhengfeng has accepted the decree." ”
Everyone in the audience looked strange, and they actually saw the emperor's decree on such an occasion, and they were stunned for a while.
Liu Zhengfeng knelt down on his knees, kowtowed three times, and said: "Grass people Liu Zhengfeng listens to the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
The official unfolded the holy decree and recited: "Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says: According to the governor of Hunan Province, Liu Zhengfeng, a commoner in Hengshan County, is anxious for justice and righteousness, and his merit is in Sangzi, and he is skilled in bows and horses. ”
Liu Zhengfeng said: "Minister Liu Zhengfeng thanks, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
The official picked up Liu Zhengfeng and said, "Congratulations to General Liu!"
Liu Zhengfeng arched his hand and said: "Thank you for the cultivation of Enxiang, Governor and Master Zhang!"
The Lord Zhang smiled and said: "In the future, you and I will be ministers in the same palace, and we will have to take care of each other." ”
Liu Zhengfeng said: "Don't dare, don't dare, the next official has just entered the official career, and he still needs more guidance from Master Zhang." Stretching out his hand and making a gesture back, a disciple presented a tray, Liu Zhengfeng smiled: "A little thanks, I hope Lord Zhang will smile." ”
Master Zhang smiled and said, "General Liu is polite. The official on the side took it, his arms sank, but he almost fell off.
Master Zhang was satisfied: "Come on, serve the wine!"
His own subordinates offered wine glasses, and Lord Zhang saluted Liu Zhengfeng three times in a row, and said: "This official is busy with official business, so I won't bother the general and leave." Arching his hand, he turned around and left, and Liu Zhengfeng accompanied him all the way out of the door.
Yue Lingshan poked her head out from Linghu Chong's side, approached Feng Zhou, and asked, "Second Uncle, why don't you look unimpressed by this official's decree, isn't it good for Senior Uncle Liu to be an official?"
It turned out that she didn't understand what the official meant by reciting the holy decree, and when she was bored, she saw the second uncle sneering, so she asked curiously.
Feng Zhou smiled slightly: "This holy decree is fake. ”
He has been the commander of the border army and the commander of the Jinyi Guard for several years, and he has seen countless holy decrees, although he is extremely tired of the rules of officialdom, but he is very familiar with it.
The holy decree should have been very strict, but this holy decree is full of loopholes, and the cottages can no longer be coated again, and the actual staff members do not even have a place to take office.
Moreover, the general is a big official of the third or fourth grade, who can buy such a big official at once?
This holy decree itself is an excuse, using the holy decree to get out of the attention of the people in the rivers and lakes, Liu Zhengfeng can justifiably escape without a trace.
As for the official who announced the decree, eighty percent of the soldiers accompanying him were hired to, and which official was so bold and dared to drink drunk to announce the decree, which is a great crime of disrespect.
Yue Lingshan knew that his second uncle had worked as an errand in Jinyiwei, since he said that this holy decree was fake, it must be fake, and hurriedly asked: "This liar deceived Liu's mansion, or I will go with my senior brother to arrest him, so as not to be fooled by Uncle Liu." ”
When Ling Hu Chong heard that he was going to mess around with his little junior sister, he couldn't help but feel energetic, and hurriedly looked at Feng Zhou, his eyes full of anticipation.
Feng Zhou said with a smile: "What's the fuss, don't you see when to sing the double reed? Stay quietly, don't do much, and take a look first." ”
Ling Hu Chong and Yue Lingshan glanced at each other, although they didn't understand what they meant, they nodded and didn't speak.
Liu Zhengfeng's face was as usual, and he returned to the hall and invited all the elders to take their seats.
Liu Zhengfeng said to many heroes in the rivers and lakes: "Everyone has seen just now that Liu is already an official of the imperial court, and the past grievances in the rivers and lakes have been written off, and in the future, he will only ask the rights and wrongs of the rivers and lakes, which is contrary to this statement, just like this sword." ”
Stretched out his hand and pulled out the sword, stretched out his hand and pulled it, with a "bang", the long sword was broken into two, and he swung it into the ground, and the two broken swords sank into the underground stone slab.
Outside the hall, the firecrackers rang out continuously, the drums sounded in unison, and the disciples of the Liu family poured out together, bringing out a golden basin of clear water to Danian, and placed it in the center of the hall.
