Just when Li Amen lamented that Liu Zhengfeng had taken great pains to retire from the rivers and lakes......

But he saw the official stand in the center, and the official behind him knelt down with his right leg, and raised his hands above the top, presenting a tray covered with yellow satin, and a scroll was placed on the plate.

The official bowed, took the scroll, and said loudly: "The holy decree has arrived, and Liu Zhengfeng will listen to the decree." ”

When the heroes heard this, they were all taken aback: "Liu Zhengfeng washed his hands in a golden basin, sealed his sword and went into hiding, that is a matter on the rivers and lakes, what does it have to do with the imperial court?" Why did the emperor make a holy decree? Could it be that Liu Zhengfeng had a big conspiracy and found out to the court, it was a big crime to kill the head and rob the family and punish the nine clans. ”

Everyone thought of this section in unison, and they all stood up, and they couldn't hold their breath and grabbed the blade on their bodies, thinking that this official had come to announce the decree, and the Liu Mansion must have been densely packed with officers and soldiers before and after, and a big fight was inevitable, and he and Liu Zhengfeng were good friends, and they must not stand idly by.

Of course, although Liu Zhengfeng knew that he had made friends all over the scene, there were also some people with bad intentions who came for "Sword Spectrum to Warse Off Evil Spirits", but they couldn't wait to fight, so it was easy to fish in troubled waters. If you find an opportunity to kill the head of the Qingcheng faction, then maybe you will have a chance to find Lin Zhennan and his wife, who were hidden by the Qingcheng faction, and have the opportunity to get the "Sword Spectrum to Ward Off Evil Spirits".

As for the safety of these people with bad intentions, they completely disregarded it, and were blinded by the "Sword Spectrum to Ward Off Evil Spirits", thinking that they would definitely be able to escape, and they didn't think about what would happen if there was really an official encirclement and suppression.

Insiders such as Li Amen and his entourage, naturally they were not moved at all, and they were calm and composed, showing a special difference.

Right now, most of the martial arts people are waiting, just waiting for Liu Zhengfeng to change color and scold, and everyone is in vain, and they will cut the official into meat sauce in an instant.

Unexpectedly, Liu Zhengfeng was as calm as constant, and as soon as his knees were bent, he knelt down, kowtowed to the official three times in a row, and said loudly: "Weichen Liu Zhengfeng listens to the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

When the heroes saw it, they were all stunned.

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." ”

Standing up, he 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 the same 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 around and took a disc, which was wrapped in 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 look, the messenger 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 have 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.

Although the guests who came to Liu's Mansion were not ** people, nor were they guilty of rebellion, they all had their own fame in the martial arts, and they were all self-esteemed figures, and they had never looked down on the government.

The older guests thought, "Look at this situation, his official hat must have been bought with gold and silver, and I don't know how much gold and silver he spent to buy the governor's guarantee." Liu Zhengfeng has always been an upright person, how can he come to old age, and he is so absorbed by Lilu that he actually buys an official to do it by any means? ”

The look of the crowd only made Li Amen find it interesting. These Jianghu people are Jianghu people in the end, and they actually think that the ginseng will be a small military attache with sesame mung beans, and an official position that can be easily bought with money, which is really incredible.

What is a Counselor? The general was the commander of the border area in the Ming Dynasty, and belonged to the rank and rank of the third rank, and belonged to the middle and senior officers.

What's more, civil and military affairs are fundamentally different, how can the governor of Hunan Province be qualified to recommend a white body to become a general? Or report directly to the emperor?

And what kind of Master Zhang, how can he be qualified to preach the holy decree?

Such an official award, and the holy decree of a middle and high-ranking officer, was actually not passed down by the real Qin messenger, but by what Lord Zhang handed down?

None of the people in the rivers and lakes present knew anything, which faintly shows that there is an obvious gap between the rivers and lakes and the government in this era, and it also represents that Li Amen's conjecture that the government's idea of faintly controlling the rivers and lakes is undoubtedly correct, otherwise why would the people in the rivers and lakes be so ignorant.

However, even if there are many doubts in this, I am afraid that this matter is true.

Li Amen vaguely saw that the official was probably really an official, and Liu Zhengfeng obviously knew what a general was. One calls himself General Liu, and the other calls himself a young general, which is obviously not an ordinary politeness.

Generals are not casually talked, only middle and high-ranking officers are qualified to be called generals.

Li Amen couldn't help but vaguely see a few things from it.

First, I am afraid that it has come to the end of the Ming Dynasty at this time, so this seemingly unusual thing will happen.

Second, the government began to increase its control over martial arts, and directly recruited people from the rivers and lakes to become officials. With a high-prestige martial arts person like Liu Zhengfeng as an official, and as soon as he is a high-ranking official, the exemplary role he can play is simply incredible.

Third, the Songshan faction must have something to do with a certain force in the government, otherwise how could they dare to kill a general? And there has not been retaliation after the fact, which is not normal. You must know that Shaolin and Wudang are powerful because they actually have an official background. And the Songshan faction wants to unite the five mountains, and Zuo Lengchan seems to be trying to surpass Shaolin and Wudang in one fell swoop and become the first sect force in the world. Without a certain official background, it is obviously unlikely that it will be truly completed.

After understanding this, Li Amen decided to continue watching the play.

At this time, 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.
