Chapter 35 The plot of Hengshan begins

The official unfolded the scroll and read: "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 kowtowed again and said: "Weichen Liu Zhengfeng thanks, long live my emperor, long live, long live." He stood up, bent down to the official, and said, "Thank you, Lord Zhang, for cultivating and promoting." The official smiled and said, "Congratulations, congratulations, General Liu, from now on, you and I will be ministers in one palace, but why be polite?" Liu Zhengfeng said: "The young general was originally a reckless horseman, and today he was awarded an official by the imperial court, which is the emperor's grace and wide beneficial, so that the young general will glorify his ancestors, but he is also the over-qualified cultivation of the Dao Grace Minister, the Governor and the Lord Zhang." The official laughed, "Where, where." Liu Zhengfeng turned his head to Fang Qianju and said, "Brother Fang Xian, what about the gift from Lord Zhang?" Fang Qianju said: "I have been preparing here for a long time." He turned and took a disc, and in the middle of it was a brocade wrap.

Liu Zhengfeng took it with both hands and said with a smile: "A little courtesy, not a respect, Lord Zhang is acceptable." The Lord Zhang smiled and said, "My brother, Lord Liu is so polite." With a wink, the officer beside him took it. When the officer took the plate, his arms sank downward, and it was evident that the contents of the plate were not light, not silver but gold. The adult smiled and said: "The younger brother is on official business, he will not stay for a long time, come and come, pour three glasses of wine, congratulate General Liu on his appointment today, and soon he will be promoted to the rank of knight, and the emperor's grace will be added to the quilt." "I've already poured wine left and right. Mr. Zhang drank three glasses in a row, arched his hand, and turned around to go out. Liu Zhengfeng was full of smiles and sent straight to the gate. I only heard the sound of gongs and shouts, and Liu Fu sent a salute again. This scene was unexpected, everyone looked at each other, and they couldn't make a sound, and everyone's faces were embarrassed and surprised.

"Senior brother, Liu Zhengfeng is now an official? Does this official have much power? Shi Guodong asked if he didn't understand, he knew that Senior Brother Dao Yan was asked for advice.

"Amitabha! The general is the commander of the army guarding the border area, with no fixed personnel, ranking second to the general army and the deputy general army, and guarding each road. For the official position of Zhengsanlu, if you want to canonize a large number of military merits, you need to declare the military department yamen, and the cabinet will report to the emperor, and after the emperor approves it, the holy decree will be stamped with a jade seal, and it will be distributed by the cabinet. Zhang Wei gave Shi Guodong a brief overview of the responsibilities of the generals and the process of entering the seal, as well as the regulations for the reading of the holy decree.

"Hey, senior brother, are you saying that this official may be fake? Liu Zhengfeng, this old Jianghu, can still be fooled like this? Shi Guodong listened a little big, he didn't understand these things, if it was really as Zhang Wei said, then there would be big trouble.

Zhang Wei also felt a little strange, although the current emperor Zhengde Emperor was a little out of tune, and the eunuchs were also a little troublesome, but the cabinet was not vegetarian, you said that you can get a general of the three products without any military exploits, that also seems to be too much of a staff member of the military department, there are scholars in the court, the Ming Dynasty has not heard of selling officials to sell three products, there must be an article in it, either Liu Zhengfeng was fooled by Zuo Lengchan, or Liu Zhengfeng himself faked, so as to set up an appearance that he has a big backer, and save others from moving him. Zhang Wei estimated that this place could not have been made by Liu Zhengfeng himself, if the fake holy decree really let Jinyiwei or Dongchang know, then would Liu Zhengfeng's family still have a way to live, the vegetable market is the way out for their family, all kinds of people on the rivers and lakes came, maybe there were one or two Jinyiwei spies mixed in, you fake the holy decree can still be full? And combined with the later plot of the Songshan faction, he knew that Liu Zhengfeng had just killed his family as soon as he became an official, Zhang Wei felt that it should be Zuo Lengchan's trap for Liu Zhengfeng, usually an official below the seventh grade will die if he dies, and no one will pay attention to it if no one investigates it, you are now a third-grade official whose family is killed casually, and Daming's face is still or? The emperor's face is still or? Is it really when Jinyiwei and the East and West factories are furnishings?

"Amitabha! It's really not fake.,Fake can't be true.,Keep watching.。。。 Zhang Wei said after hitting a Buddha number.

Although the guests who came to Liu's Mansion were not people in the underworld, nor were they criminals, but they were famous in the martial arts, and they were all self-regarded figures, and they had never looked down on the government.

Liu Zhengfeng walked in front of the group of heroes, his face was full of joy, and invited everyone to take a seat. No one is willing to sit as the chief, and the Taishi chair in the center is left empty. The left is the oldest Liuhemen Xia Lao boxer, and the right is the deputy of the beggar gang Jin Ao. Although Zhang Jinao himself has no amazing art industry, the beggar gang is the largest gang in the rivers and lakes, and the leader of the beggar gang has high martial arts and reputation, and everyone respects him for three points.

The heroes sat down, and the servants came up to offer food and wine. Mi Weiyi brought out a coffee table with brocade on it. Xiang Danian held a golden basin with a golden radiance and a half-foot-long diameter in both hands, and placed it on top of the coffee table, which was already filled with water. I could only hear three bangs outside the door, followed by eight big firecrackers in a row. A group of junior disciples sitting in the back hall and flower hall all flocked to the hall to see the excitement. Liu Zhengfeng walked into the hall with a smile and hugged his fists. The heroes all stood up and saluted. Liu Zhengfeng said loudly: "All the senior heroes, all the good friends, all the young friends. Everyone came from afar, Liu Zhengfeng is really gold on his face, and he is grateful. Brother washed his hands of gold today, and from now on he will not ask about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and you must know the reason. The brother has received the grace of the imperial court to be a small official. As the saying goes: the food of the king, the matter of loyalty. The rivers and lakes pay attention to righteousness; The state is on official business, but it must obey the law in order to repay the king's kindness. If there is a conflict between the two, Liu Zhengfeng will inevitably be embarrassed. From now on, Liu Zhengfeng will withdraw from the martial arts, and if my disciples are willing to switch to other sects, they will do their own thing. Liu invited you here to ask all your good friends to testify. When you come to Hengshan City in the future, you will naturally still be a good friend of Liu, but Liu will not ask about the rights and wrongs of all kinds of grievances in the martial arts. He said it again. Everyone knew that Liu Zhengfeng wanted to wash his hands in a golden basin, but he didn't expect the reason to be this, and everyone had different thoughts for a while. The heroes had their own thoughts, and for a while, the hall was silent. Originally, under this scene, everyone should have congratulated Liu Zhengfeng one after another, complimenting him on "full return of good fortune", "brave retreat from the rapids", "great wisdom and bravery", etc., but more than 1,000 people gathered together, and no one spoke.

Liu Zhengfeng turned around and said loudly: "Disciple Liu Zhengfeng was included in the disciple by his mentor and taught martial arts, but he was very ashamed that he failed to open the lintel of the Dahengshan faction. Fortunately, there is Senior Brother Mo in this door, Liu Zhengfeng is mediocre, there are not many people who are more Liu, and there are many people who are less Liu. From now on, Liu washed his hands of gold and concentrated on the eunuchs, but he also decided not to use his master to pass on martial arts, in order to be promoted to the knighthood, and died of grievances and disputes on the rivers and lakes, sectarian disputes, Liu Zhengfeng was even more resolute not to ask. If it is contrary to the word, there is such a sword. With his right hand, he pulled out the long sword from the bottom of the robe, wrenched his hands, and with a slap, the blade of the sword was broken in two, he broke the long sword, and let the two broken swords fall, and with two soft sounds, the broken sword was inserted into the green brick. Liu Zhengfeng smiled, rolled up his sleeves, stretched out his hands, and was about to put it in the golden basin, when he suddenly heard someone outside the gate shouting: "Stop!" ”

Liu Zhengfeng was slightly startled, raised his head, and saw four men in yellow shirts walking into the gate. As soon as the four of them entered the door, they stood on both sides, and a very tall man in a yellow shirt entered from between the four of them. This man held aloft a five-colored pennant in his hand, which was decorated with pearls and gemstones, and when it moved, it emitted a brilliant light. Many people who recognized this flag were all in their hearts: "The order flag of the leader of the Wuyue Sword Sect has arrived!" The man walked up to Liu Zhengfeng, raised the flag and said: "Senior Uncle Liu, under the order of the main banner of the Left Alliance of the Wuyue Sword Sect: Uncle Liu's golden basin washing hands, please postpone it temporarily." Liu Zhengfeng bowed down and said, "But I don't know what the purpose of the alliance leader's order is?" The man said: "The disciple is acting on orders, but he really doesn't know the will of the alliance leader, please ask Uncle Liu to forgive his sins." Liu Zhengfeng smiled and said, "You're welcome. The virtuous nephew is the virtuous nephew of Qianzhang Songshi, right? Although there was a smile on his face, his voice trembled slightly, and it was obvious that this incident had come very suddenly, and with so many people who had been in battle, he could not help but be greatly shaken. That man was the disciple of the Songshan faction, Qianzhang Song Shi Dengda, he heard that Liu Zhengfeng knew his name and nickname, and he couldn't help but be proud in his heart, bowed slightly, and said, "Disciple Shi Dengda visits Uncle Liu." He grabbed a few steps, and saluted to Tianmen Daoren, Yue Buqun, Dingyi Shitai and others, and said, "Disciples of Songshan Sect, meet all the uncles and uncles. The other four men in yellow bowed at the same time. Master Dingyi liked it very much, and while bowing back, he said, "Your master came out to stop this matter, it couldn't be better." I said, we martial arts students, chivalrous and free, what kind of officials do we do? It's just that I saw that Brother Liu Xian had everything in order, and he would never listen to the old nun's persuasion, and I wouldn't have to spend a lot of time. Liu Zhengfeng's face was solemn, and he said: "Back then, my Wuyue Sword Sect formed an alliance, agreed to help each other in attack and defense, and maintain righteousness in the martial arts. This five-color flag is made by my five factions, and it is good to see the flag as if it were the leader of the alliance. However, it is Liu's private matter to wash his hands in today's golden basin, which does not violate the moral rules of martial arts, and has nothing to do with the Wuyue Sword Sect, so it is not subject to the alliance leader's banner order. Please ask Shi Xian's nephew to tell the respected teacher that Liu did not obey the flag order, and asked Senior Brother Zuo to forgive his sins. As he spoke, he walked towards the golden basin.

Shi Dengda blocked Liu Zhengfeng, who wanted to wash his hands in a golden basin, and the two had a verbal argument, Liu Zhengfeng agreed to postpone it until tomorrow to wash his hands, Shi Dengda called out the Songshan faction who had already been ambushed, when Liu Zhengfeng saw that his family was forced by the Songshan faction, he was angry and insisted on washing his hands. Liu Zhengfeng stretched out a few disciples of the Songshan faction who put down the road, and the fourth junior brother of Zuo Lengchan of the Songshan faction jumped out on the roof, Fei Bin, the second junior brother of Tota, and Lu Bai, the third junior brother, Lu Bai, the third junior brother, the crane hand, after the three appeared, they began to talk about Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang, and asked Liu Zhengfeng to kill Qu Yang in January, Liu Zhengfeng naturally swore to death, and began to tell how he and Qu Yang got acquainted from music, the more the group listened, the more strange they became, and they never expected him to intersect with Qu Yang, but because of music, he wanted to treat him and Qu Yang without believing it, and saw that he said very sincerely, There is really no half-point hypocrisy, and there are many strange and unique people on the rivers and lakes, and their voices are charming, and Liu Zhengfeng is not unusual. The Songshan faction began to coerce Liu Zhengfeng with their families and disciples, except for Liu Zhengfeng's personal disciples, other Hengshan faction disciples all chose to withdraw, Ding Mian sneak attacked Xiang Danian to save the master and was killed in front of Liu Zhengfeng, Liu Zhengfeng also caught Fei Bin. Liu Zhengfeng took Fei Bin hostage and asked the whole family to go into hiding, but unfortunately the Songshan faction did not agree, and the disciple of the Songshan faction, Di Xiu, took the sword to really resist the muscles of Liu Zhengfeng's eldest son's vest.
