Chapter 17: Washing Hands in the Golden Basin
On the second day, Liu Zhengfeng's golden day of washing his hands officially began.
The heads and core disciples of various sects have come to Liu's Mansion one after another.
Liu Zhengfeng is the deputy head of the Hengshan faction, and Mr. Mo Da, the head of the Hengshan faction, is not very in charge of things, and Liu Zhengfeng has always been responsible for the previous affairs of the Hengshan faction.
Therefore, Liu Zhengfeng still has some prestige in the rivers and lakes, and many people come to cheer.
However, Yue Buqun, who had made an appointment to come, did not come, he was escorting Lin Zhengnan's family.
It stands to reason that he, who prides himself on being a gentleman's sword, should not break his appointment.
However, Lin Zhengnan gave too much......
It was nearly noon, and there were two bangs outside the door, followed by the sound of drums, and the sound of gongs and shouts.
Liu Zhengfeng, who was wearing a brand-new familiar robe, hurriedly ran out of the inner hall.
After a while, I saw Liu Zhengfeng, who respectfully accompanied an official in official uniform.
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." ”
It turned out that the official said that Liu Zhengfeng was anxious for justice and righteousness, his merit was in Sangzi, and he was skilled in bows and horses, so he could be of great use, and he was really awarded the post of general.
The position of a general, although it is not high, but among the titles, with a general, it is not low, and it is worthy of the identity of the deputy head of Hengshan.
Everyone should have congratulated Liu Zhengfeng, saying that he was blessed with a long life, retreated bravely from the rapids, and was wise and brave.
But no one spoke.
The dignified deputy head of Hengshan actually became a bird official of the imperial court, and he kowtowed to an ordinary person who did not have any cultivation.
really doesn't have the face of a master of the rivers and lakes at all, and the people here look down on Liu Zhengfeng from the bottom of their hearts.
When Liu Zhengfeng withdrew from the rivers and lakes before, they were still a little pity.
Now it seems that it is a good thing that such a person has left the rivers and lakes.
When the auspicious time came, in the playful eyes of everyone, Liu Zhengfeng hugged his fists at everyone and climbed onto the high platform that had been set up.
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.
There were three bangs outside the door, followed by eight big firecrackers in a row.
Liu Zhengfeng said loudly: "Thank you for your faces, come to Liu's Mansion, and participate in the Brother My Golden Basin Handwashing Conference." ”
"Today, my brother has received the grace of the imperial court to become a petty 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 whatever they want."
"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. ”
According to the practice of the rivers and lakes, as long as Liu Zhengfeng's hand is stained with the water in the basin, roll it up, even if it is a golden basin to wash his hands, today's ceremony will be over.
However, at this moment......
A shout came from outside: "Wait! “
Four men in yellow shirts appeared in front of everyone.
Then, another tall man in a yellow shirt walked in from between the four of them.
It is on the rivers and lakes, quite famous Qianzhang pine Stendda.
Shi Dengda held a five-color pennant high in his hand and said to Liu Zhengfeng: "Senior Uncle Liu, Senior Brother Zuo said that you need to temporarily postpone your golden basin to wash your hands." ”
Liu Zhengfeng bowed down and said, "But I don't know why the leader of the Left Alliance is like this?" ”
"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."
After Shi Teda finished speaking, he saluted Tianmen Daoren, Dingyi Shitai and others one by one.
The same goes for the other four.
Master Dingyi liked it so much that he returned the salute and 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 vaguely seemed to think of something, his 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. ”
Saying that, he walked to the golden basin, and wanted to wash his hands first, and then he said, the raw rice was cooked and cooked, and he was embarrassed to embarrass him openly and honestly.
Shi Dengda shook his body, rushed to stop in front of the golden basin, held the pennant high in his right hand, and said, "Uncle Liu, my master has told me a thousand times, be sure to ask my uncle to suspend the golden basin to wash his hands." This matter is not only to take care of the friendship of the Wuyue Sword Sect, but also to maintain the righteousness in the martial arts, and it is also for the good of Uncle Liu. ”
Seeing Shi Dengda's performance like this, Liu Zhengfeng said more and more hurriedly: "Liu's golden basin handwashing invitation has already been respectfully sent to Songshan. If Senior Brother Zuo has an opinion, why didn't he persuade him in advance? The flag order was not issued until this moment, did he want Liu to rebel before the heroes of the world? ”
"Master Zuo respects Uncle Liu, but there is really no way to do this handwashing, and it needs to be postponed."
When the two of them were at a stalemate, there were screams from the back hall of Liu's mansion.
More than 20 angry people were thrown from the back hall to the front hall.
Everyone was shocked, and more than 20 people who were thrown out were all wearing the clothes of the Songshan faction, and two of them still had a lot of fame in the rivers and lakes.
Respectively, Lu Bai, the crane hand in the thirteen Taibao of Songshan, and Fei Bin, the big Songyang hand.
Then, another person threw it out, and everyone was extremely curious about what was going on in the back hall.
The person who was thrown out in the end, with a burly figure, was the third junior disciple of Zuo Lengchan and the head of the thirteen Taibao, the tota hand Ding Mian.
Ding Mian's strength is stronger than many people present.
How can it be thrown out by someone who is injured?
Seeing more than 20 people lying on the ground in Songshan, Stenda panicked and said, "Who is it?" ”
The reason why Shi Stagea has been talking so much nonsense with Liu Zhengfeng for so long is that Liu Zhengfeng is the deputy head of the Hengshan faction, a figure with a head and a face, to subdue him, he needs to comply with the rules, salute first and then soldier, after all, he is not a small role.
Another reason is that his own uncles, Fei Bin, the thirteenth Taibao Da Songyang, and Lu Bai, the crane hand, quietly ran to the back hall of Liu's mansion to steal the house, and kidnapped Liu Zhengfeng's wife and children, so as to threaten Liu Zhengfeng's submission, so he needed him in the front hall to drag Liu Zhengfeng, the main combat force of Liu's mansion, and buy time for the uncles.
He was delaying time in the front hall, the plan went smoothly, Liu Zhengfeng didn't suspect anything else, and he was entangled by him.
And Ding Mian and Fei Bin, who attacked from behind, failed, and Uncle Ding Mian, who was secretly observing and looking at the overall situation, was also defeated together.
Chu Ming, the initiator, walked from the back hall to the lobby with Liu Zhengfeng's wife, son and daughter.
"Who are you?" Stendhal asked in a shudder.
and Liu Zhengfeng, a person who talks about rules, Shi Dengda can naturally rely on the rules and routines, and use the name of Zuo Lengchan to drag Liu Zhengfeng, who is born with a heavy nature.
However, Chu Ming, who directly defeated his three uncles, such a peerless murderer, how could Stenda dare to continue to talk nonsense, and hurriedly asked Chu Ming's name, so that he could report to the master and take revenge on him when the time came.
ps: The core strength of the Songshan faction is Zuo Lengchan's brother Thirteen Taibao, the ranking of the Thirteen Taibao is not very consistent in the serial version, the triptych version and the new revised version, here the new revised version is the mainstay, and the ranking is clearly explained in the book: Ding Mian, the big Taibao Tota hand, the second Taibao Xianhe hand Lu Bai, the third Taibao Da Songyang hand Fei Bin, and the sixth Taibao Cang Bearded Iron Palm Tang Yingyu. The unknown rankings include Da Yin and Yang Hand Le Hou, Jiuqu Sword Zhong Zhen, Divine Whip Teng Bagong, and Jinmao Lion Gao Kexin. A total of eight people appeared, and who are the five others, Jin Yong did not write
