On the day of washing hands in the golden basin, Liu's mansion was full of guests, and nearly five or six hundred people came, some of whom were familiar with Liu Zhengfeng and had dealt with each other, and specially came to verify this moment; Some people can't get along with Liu Zhengfeng, they have never met, they just come here.

If there are many people, they are mixed.

Among these people, some of them are certainly quite famous and in the rivers and lakes, and some are not good or evil.

Dingyi Shitai, Tianmen Daoren and other top figures of the righteous path martial arts looked down on these three sects and nine streams, so they simply stayed in the side room, too lazy to greet these people.

Yue Buqun also stayed in the wing, it was very rare that he didn't go out to socialize, his face was a little gloomy at this time, it could be seen that his mood was very unhappy, his eyes swept over the disciples with puffy heads and faces, and he snorted coldly: "Denuo, have you found Linghu Chong?" ”

Lao Denuo said: "Back to the master, the disciples have searched Hengyang City, but they have not found the senior brother. ”

Yue Buqun said coldly: "That rebel has done such a big rebellion and corrupted the door, and now he hides and doesn't dare to see people?" ”

Yue Lingshan's eyes were red, her mood was very low, and she still had a fluke in her heart, and said, "Daddy, senior brother is not that kind of person, will it ...... There will be no misunderstanding. ”

Yue Buqun said: "Misunderstanding? The rebel's sword is in the hands of Master Dingyi, and this matter can still be fake! It's all because the teacher is too arrogant to him on weekdays, otherwise he wouldn't have developed his lawless temperament, so that he would have made such a big mistake...... Hey, what kind of face does this make for the teacher to face Dingyi Shitai and his fellow Jianghu. ”

The other disciples were like quails, bowing their heads and not daring to answer.

When noon approached, Liu Zhengfeng's disciples came to inform them to go to the front hall to watch the ceremony.

Yue Buqun had to leave the wing, and when he came to the front hall, he met Mrs. Dingyi again. Master Dingyi snorted coldly at him, and he didn't have a good face at all. Yue Buqun didn't dare to be angry, so he could only smile with a shy face.

The front hall of Liu's Mansion was full of nearly 200 seats, and when everyone was about to sit down, they suddenly heard two bangs of "bang" and "bang" outside the door, followed by the sound of drums, and the sound of gongs and shouts sounded, obviously there were people on the official face.

Hearing the sound of ritual music, Liu Zhengfeng immediately straightened his clothes, walked quickly to the door, and saw a young man in his early twenties walking down from the official sedan chair.

Liu Zhengfeng was a little surprised in his heart, how could the boss send such a young official to announce the decree, could it be the son and son of a big official who came down to get oil and water. Although he thought like this in his heart, he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, so he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Liu Zhengfeng, a grass citizen, has seen an adult, and the adult has come from afar. ”

The young man waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, this official is here on order, let's do the right thing first." ”

Liu Zhengfeng got up, took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve and stuffed them into the young man's hand, and said politely: "What the adults said is that they are humble and stupid, and they need to be cultivated more by adults, and I haven't asked the adults how to call them." ”

The young man put away the silver ticket and said casually: "Lord Liu is polite, the officials are all in place, and they are working in the six doors of Nanyang, and you and I will be officials in the same hall in the future, and we will take care of it more." Without further ado, let's get down to business first. ”

Liu Zhengfeng didn't notice anything wrong, raised his hand and said, "Yes, Lord Qi, please." ”

The two entered the hall one after the other.

The martial arts people in the hall were all stunned when they saw Liu Zhengfeng coming in with a young official. Some people thought in their hearts that Liu Zhengfeng was a well-known local squire and rich man in Hengyang, and he had to deal with local officials.

Qi Fang walked straight in, stood in the center of the hall, and raised his voice: "The holy decree has arrived, Liu Zhengfeng listens to the decree." ”

Just when the heroes were stunned, Liu Zhengfeng knelt down on his knees and said loudly: "Weichen Liu Zhengfeng listens to the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

The yacha next to him had already bent his knees to present the holy decree, Qi Fang picked up the holy decree, and read aloud: "Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says: According to the governor of Xiangnan Province, Liu Zhengfeng of Hengyang County is anxious for justice and righteousness, and his merit is in Sangzhang, and he is skilled in bows and horses. ”

Liu Zhengfeng kowtowed again and said: "Weichen Liu Zhengfeng is grateful, long live my emperor, long live, long live." After standing up, he said: "I want to thank you for your appreciation, the promotion of Lord Governor and the cultivation of Lord Qi, Brother Fang Xian, what about the gift of Lord Qi?" ”

A middle-aged man beside Liu Zhengfeng said, "I've been here for a long time." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and took a disc, which was wrapped in a brocade wrap.

Qi Fang made a look, asked the official next to him to accept the money, and then said: "After the business is done, we can talk about gossip." Qi has always been very curious about martial arts, and I heard that Brother Liu is also the number one person in the rivers and lakes, and he is about to wash his hands today. As the saying goes, it's better to come early than to come by coincidence, Qi has only heard people say that the golden basin washes his hands before, and he has never encountered it, today coincides with his meeting, but he wants to open his eyes, and he wants to ask Brother Liu for a glass of water and wine, I don't know if Brother Liu welcomes it. ”

Liu Zhengfeng was stunned, and said in his heart, why didn't this official play cards according to common sense, he was a young chick in the end. But he hurriedly said: "Lord Qi can appreciate his face, but it is Liu's blessing, how dare he refuse." Lord Qi, please take a seat. ”

Qi Fang nodded, not polite at all, strode to the chief and sat down, his eyes swept over the male group in the hall, without the slightest hint of weakness, and he didn't care about the opinions of others, so he smiled and said: "Brother Liu doesn't want to wash his hands in a golden basin, let's start quickly." ”

"Okay."

Liu Zhengfeng answered, and immediately a disciple brought out a coffee table, which was covered with brocade forging. Another disciple walked out with a golden basin with a golden radiance and a half feet in diameter and placed it on the coffee table.

The basin is already filled with water.

Liu Zhengfeng walked to the coffee table, hugged his fists, and said, "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, you must know the reason...... 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, is to invite all good friends to testify, in the future when you come to Hengshan City, naturally you are still a good friend of Liu, but all kinds of grievances in the martial arts, Liu can not ask. ”

After saying these words, Liu Zhengfeng rolled up his sleeves and stretched out his hands to put it in the golden basin.

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone outside the door shouting: "Stop! ”

Qi Fang raised his eyebrows, and said secretly in his heart: "Here, the show is about to start." ”

When the heroes heard the sound, they immediately looked towards the main entrance, and saw four men in yellow shirts walking in the door, standing on both sides, but they were the pioneers in the middle of the opening, followed by a tall man in yellow shirts from the middle of the four people with their heads held high.

This person is Zuo Lengchan's personal disciple, nicknamed "Qianzhang Song" Shi Dengda. In his hand he held a five-color pennant, decorated with pearls and gemstones, shining brilliantly.

"The leader of the Wuyue Sword Sect Alliance has arrived."

Shi Dengda walked in front of Liu Zhengfeng, raised the flag and said: "Uncle Liu, under the order of the main banner of the Wuyue Sword Sect Left Alliance, Uncle Liu's golden basin washing hands is a major event, please postpone it temporarily." ”

Liu Zhengfeng said: "But I don't know what the intention of the alliance leader's order is?" ”

Shi Dengda said: "The disciple is acting on orders, but he really doesn't know the intention of the alliance leader, so I ask Uncle Liu to forgive my sins." ”

Liu Zhengfeng 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 shook his body, stopped in front of the golden basin, and held high the command flag: "Uncle Liu, my master has told me a thousand times, please ask Uncle to suspend the washing of the golden basin." My master said, the Wuyue Sword Sect is the same as each other, and everyone is like brothers. My master passed on this flag order, not only to take care of the friendship of the Wuyue Sword Sect, but also to maintain the righteousness in the martial arts, and also for the good of Uncle Liu. ”

For a while, the two were at a stalemate.

Master Dingyi is the most hot, and when he saw the two of them froze, he also admonished from the side, saying, "Senior Brother Zuo came out to stop this matter, it couldn't be better." I said, let's learn martial arts, chivalrous and free, what are we going to do as officials? Brother Liu Xian, since even the leader of the Left Alliance came forward to persuade him, what is the harm in putting this matter on hold for a while. Do you say, Mr. Jianyue? ”

Yue Buqun nodded hurriedly and said, "What Mrs. Shi said is reasonable. ”

Liu Zhengfeng said: "Since both of them said so, then ......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a chaotic noise, but Qi Fang flipped the table, got up and pointed at Dingyi Shitai and shouted angrily: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land." On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. What's wrong with being an official? You old nun is really presumptuous, there is a lot of disrespect in your words, and you don't take my Ming officials in your eyes at all, so you don't want to rebel. ”

Then he turned to Liu Zhengfeng and said: "You rivers and lakes are reckless and unpleasant, saying that you can temporarily change your hexagram when you say that you are washing your hands in the golden basin today, and you have no faith in your words, how can you be an official." The affairs of this official are heavy, and there is still the emperor's order, but I don't have time to mess around with you here, if you want to wash your hands, wash your hands quickly, don't delay the time of this official. ”

Then he looked at Shi Dengda and said: "General Liu is already an official of the court, and only the official family is qualified to give orders to him. Self-made orders and flags, forming a party for personal gain, this is a big crime of killing the head. The kid with the flag, go and tell your family alliance leader, and ask him to quickly go to the local yamen and surrender himself to fight for leniency. For the sake of General Liu's face, this official can still help your bullshit alliance leader intercede, otherwise the army will be overwhelmed...... Hehe, don't blame this official for being unpredictable. ”

Stenda was stunned, pointed at Qi Fang and said, "You ......"

Qi Fang shouted: "What are you, when you see this official, not only do you not kneel, but also speak disrespectfully, it is simply a king's law." Someone is coming, take this person down for me quickly, put him in prison, and wait for his fate. ”

The left and right yacha glanced at each other, their faces were bitter, but they were not allowed to obey the order, and walked towards Stenda.

Although Shi Dengda is a junior, he also has good kung fu, and as soon as he raised his left hand, the two yacha were swept out by him.

Qi Fang patted the case and shouted: "What a bold man, in broad daylight, under the bright sky, he dared to attack the official, this is the crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, and he will be arrested without restraint." ”

Stenda sneered and said, "Dog officer, this is not your mansion, and you are not allowed to be powerful." If you dare to be disrespectful to my master, Shi will slaughter you first. ”

As he spoke, Stenda stepped out, and the figure came to Qi Fang in a flash, and his five fingers were clawed, grabbing at his head.

"Not good."

Seeing this, Tianmen Dao people, Dingyi Shitai and others had a bad heart, although they have always had a lot of disdain for the government, but they are just talking about it, and at most they will turn a blind eye. But killing an official, the nature is different, once it appears, it is the crime of raiding the family and exterminating the family. No matter how strong his sect is, it can't defeat the army of the court.

Stendhal struck too suddenly, and it was too late for them to stop it.

"Plop."

The next moment, the sound of the body falling to the ground sounded.

Everyone sighed in their hearts and squinted their eyes, but saw the young official standing in his place peacefully, holding a five-color flag inlaid with beads and jade in his hand, playing up and down.

And Shi Dengda, who was nicknamed "Qianzhang Song", had already fallen in front of this person.

What happened.

The heroes were all stunned.
