Chapter 38: Washing Hands in the Golden Basin (1)

Back in the room, Yue Fangxing couldn't fall asleep over and over, and after reflecting on his savior thoughts in his heart, his thoughts about saving Liu Zhengfeng also faded. After all, Liu Zhengfeng is a stranger to him in the end, and the two have met today, so how can they have any friendship. However, thinking of the innocent people in the Liu Mansion, Yue Fangxing still couldn't let go, and he was always uneasy.

After a while, seeing that it was already late at night, thinking that his father had already fallen asleep, Yue Fangxing quietly went out of the door and ran straight to Liu's mansion. He thought that no one was present, but he didn't know that Yue Buqun had been thinking about the Sword Sect, and he didn't sleep, and he noticed his movements as soon as he moved. Although he guessed what Yue Fangxing was going to do out, but for some reason, Yue Buqun didn't stop it.

When he arrived outside the courtyard of Liu's mansion, Yue Fangxing jumped in, he planned to quietly find Liu Zhengfeng, inform him of the news, and let the other party be prepared, so that he could do his part. As for whether Liu Zhengfeng will believe it, it is not something he can control, although he can't let go of this matter, but he took the risk to report the news without knowing each other, Yue Fangxing thought that he was also benevolent and righteous.

Yue Fangxing originally wanted to secretly tell Liu Zhengfeng, but he didn't alarm others, and it was night, so it was inconvenient to go to the main gate, so he went to a place outside Liu's mansion, jumped over the wall, and jumped in.

It turned out that although Liu Zhengfeng lived in the city like a rich man, he was a person in the rivers and lakes in the end, and he knew a lot about those high-level means. He knew that no matter how high the wall was built, it would be difficult to stop the people who had a heart, so the guards in Liu's mansion were more important than how to show outsiders, and there were few mountains and rocks and trees in the house, and most of them were low flowers and plants, so it was difficult for outsiders to hide their bodies when they came. Tonight, the moon and stars are scarce, although it is in the middle of the night, but when you look up, you can also say that you can see it at a glance.

Yue Fangxing didn't expect that the courtyard of Liu's Mansion was so empty, let alone that there were still people in the courtyard late at night, and under carelessness, they were seen in front of the people inside, and both parties were a little surprised, and Yue Fangxing was even more embarrassed in his heart.

"What person?" a coquettish voice came, and it should have been a woman.

Yue Fangxing was shocked in his heart, and he had to lean over to restrain the other party, otherwise if it was rumored that the son of the head of Huashan appeared in the backyard of Liu's mansion, or where the female dependents were, then Huashan's reputation would not be ruined.

At this time, another crisp voice said: "Huh! Isn't this the big brother who plays the stones?"

When Yue Fangxing heard this, he immediately pressed down the figure he was about to lift again, he took a closer look and recognized one of them as Qu Feiyan, which was even more embarrassing, but he didn't expect to be revealed in a moment.

Now that his identity has been revealed, Yue Fangxing is not easy to restrain the other party, he bowed and said: "Visiting late at night, there is a lot of presumptuousness, I don't know where Uncle Liu is, I have something important to inform." ”

At this time, the woman who spoke in front of her said, "You are Senior Brother Yue of the Huashan Sect, what are you looking for my father?"

This woman is Liu Jing, the daughter of Liu Zhengfeng, she was dragged by Qu Feiyan, an eccentric girl, to talk in the courtyard late at night, imagining the situation after Liu Zhengfeng washed his hands, and talked about today's events between words, mentioning the Huashan faction Ling Hu Chong and Yue Fangxing, saying that these two people are chivalrous and strong, and they also told many interesting things. Therefore, when Liu Jing heard Qu Feiyan say that the eldest brother who played the stone remembered that it was Yue Fangxing, although she was a little dissatisfied with him uninvited, she still asked politely.

Yue Fangxing heard her call Liu Zhengfeng's father, and knew that she was Liu Zhengfeng's daughter, so she was the same, and she happened to be gone, so he calmed down and said solemnly: "I heard that the Songshan faction is going to be unfavorable to Uncle Liu at tomorrow's golden basin hand-washing ceremony, so I came to inform you before. ”

Liu Jing was puzzled: "How can it be that my father is unfavorable to my father?" Of course, she was quite strange in her heart, the Hengshan faction and the Songshan faction where her father Liu Zhengfeng belonged to the same Wuyue Sword Sect, how could the Songshan faction be unfavorable to her father.

Before Yue Fangxing could answer, he listened to Qu Feiyan clapping his hands and laughing: "Of course I know about your father and my grandfather! Big brother, do you think I guessed right?"

Yue Fangxing smiled bitterly in his heart, the little witch's heart is really unpredictable, and she can laugh at this kind of thing, but she still said: "Little sister is really smart, and I know the same." ”

Seeing that Liu Jing seemed to want to ask in detail, Yue Fangxing said: "The words have been brought, and I hope that my junior sister will tell my uncle to prepare early, so be careful." In particular, we must guard against the Songshan faction using their family to threaten Uncle Shi, and if there is really something unexpected, we must also explain that Uncle Liu did it alone, so as not to implicate the disciple's family. Farewell!"

Yue Fangxing was warned by his father, knowing that he couldn't get involved too deeply, so as not to trap himself in. After speaking, he didn't wait for the other party to answer, jumped and walked out of Liu's mansion.

Looking at the empty streets under the night, Yue Fangxing let out a long sigh, as if he had finished a matter, and he didn't know what to think of in his heart, and slowly left in the bright moonlight.

Early the next morning, Yue Fangxing went to Liu's Mansion with Yue Buqun and all the brothers and sisters. Liu Zhengfeng got the message, hurriedly greeted him, welcomed him without saying anything, and saw Yue Fangxing also holding his hand and saying to Yue Buqun: "Mr. Yue's son-in-law is also a real talent, and he has the style of a gentleman!"

Yue Fangxing only didn't know what he did, he just treated him normally. When Yue Buqun saw this scene, his heart was a little relieved, and he didn't break it, he congratulated Liu Zhengfeng with a smile on his face, and walked into the door hand in hand with him. Tianmen Daoren, Dingyi Shitai, Mr. Wen, He Sanqi and others heard that Yue Buqun was coming, and they all lowered their ranks to greet each other.

Yue Fangxing nodded slightly, although the strength of the Huashan faction has decreased, after all, it is a famous and decent family, and it belongs to the Wuyue Sword Sect, and its status in the rivers and lakes is really not low. He glanced out of the corner of his eye, not many people had arrived at this time, and the Huashan faction arrived so early, also because of the alliance with the Hengshan faction, it was half a master, of course, he arrived earlier than others.

Everyone exchanged a few words of greeting, and there were guests from all walks of life in Liu's mansion6 continued to arrive. Today is the first day of Liu Zhengfeng's golden basin handwashing ceremony, and at two o'clock, Liu Zhengfeng will return to the inner hall and entertain guests by his disciples.

It was nearly noon, and three or four hundred distant visitors poured in. Jin Ao, the deputy head of the beggar gang, the old boxer of Zhengzhou ** Menxia, the goddess of the Three Gorges of Sichuan and Hubei Feng Tie, and the leader of the East China Sea Sand Gang Pan Roar and others arrived one after another. Some of these people knew each other well, and some of them only admired each other and had never met, and for a while the hall greeted them and made a lot of noise.

Yue Buqun as the head of the Huashan faction, naturally there are many people who take the opportunity to make friends, although his name is called "Buqun", but he likes to make friends very much, many of the guests are nameless, or the reputation is not very innocent, as long as they come to talk to him, they talk and laugh with them, and do not put on the head of the Huashan faction, the superior.

Although Yue Fangxing ignored these on the side, he let Yu Canghai make two useless shots yesterday, and he still had the upper hand. Everyone naturally had an impression of him as a young talent, and from time to time he said something to Yue Buqun about a young talent, a successor of the Huashan faction, and so on, and he could only smile and respond. In my spare time, I noticed that although there were many people now, it was still slightly inferior to the number of people in the hall yesterday. It seems that in the future, you must be more careful not to show your feet, otherwise if outsiders know that the "Sword Spectrum to Warse Evil Spirits" was released by him, he will not have peace forever.

After a while, everyone in the Liu Mansion set up a banquet and respectfully invited all the guests to the table. According to the status and prestige in the martial arts, as well as the age of the class, the head of the Taishan faction, Tianmen Dao, should be seated, but the Wuyue Sword Sect is allied, and half of Tianmen Dao and Yue Buqun, Dingyi Shitai and others are the masters, and it is inconvenient to sit down.

Suddenly, there were two bangs outside the door, followed by the sound of drums, and the sound of gongs and shouts, as if some official had come to the door. The heroes were all stunned, I don't know what kind of thing this is, could it be that Liu Zhengfeng still has any friends from the officialdom who also came to see the ceremony today? But why is it so grand?

At this time, Liu Zhengfeng was wearing a brand-new familiar robe, hurriedly ran out of the inner hall, bowed his hand to the group of heroes, and walked out of the door. After a while, everyone saw him respectfully accompanying an official in official uniform.

The heroes all felt strange: "Could it be that this official is also a martial arts master?" Seeing that although he was dressed in imperial clothes, his eyes were dim, and his face was wine-colored, showing that he did not have martial arts. Some people thought to themselves: "Liu Zhengfeng is a great gentleman in Hengshan City, and it is inevitable that he will make friends with the government in normal times, and today is a good day for him to be happy, and it is not surprising that local officials come to perfunctory." ”

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, how did this holy decree come to this? Could it be that Liu Zhengfeng had committed some kind of conspiracy against him? Provoked the emperor to personally issue an edict?

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." He stood up, bent down to the official, and said, "Thank you, Lord Zhang, for cultivating and promoting." The official twisted his beard and smiled, and said: "Congratulations, congratulations, General Liu, from now on, you and I will be ministers in one palace, but why should you 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 glory, but it is also the over-qualified cultivation of the Dao Enxiang, the governor of Zhou and Zhang. The official laughed, "Where, where." Liu Zhengfeng turned his head to his brother-in-law Fang Qianju and said, "Brother Fang Xian, what about the gift from Master Zhang?" Fang Qianju said: "I have been here for a long time." He turned and took a disc, and in the middle of it was a brocade wrap. Liu Zhengfeng held the disc and said with a smile: "A little courtesy, not a respect, please Lord Zhang appreciate his face." The adult Zhang smiled and said, "My brother, General 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, silent, and everyone's faces were embarrassed and surprised. Although the guests who came to Liu's Mansion were not people in the black □, nor were they guilty of rebellion, they all had their own reputation in the martial arts, and they were all self-esteemed figures, and they had never looked down on the government. The older guests all thought, "Look at this situation, he must have bought this official hat 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 a decent person, how can he come to old age, and he is so distracted by Li Lu that he will buy an official to enjoy himself?"

Yue Fangxing naturally knew about this scene, he originally had the mentality of watching the play, but when he heard the content of the holy decree, he felt that something was wrong. When he read the original book, he didn't think it, but in this life, he reads a lot of ancient texts, and he has some understanding of the content system of today's holy decrees, but he has never heard such an outrageous will. How could those holy decrees be so short and straightforward that people could understand as soon as they heard them? What do you want those Hanlin scholars to do? Not to mention that the holy decrees also specify the recommenders, doesn't it encourage ministers to form gangs?

Yue Fangxing looked at Liu Zhengfeng suspiciously, groveling to the "Lord Zhang", stammering as much as possible, and even bribing in person, the "Lord Zhang" did not avoid suspicion, so he accepted it, and affirmed his guess in his heart: It seems that most of this holy decree is forged, and it is no longer appropriate to read the holy decree in public without expelling idle people, and accepting bribes in public is to give people a handle, how can this be done to a big official?

Yue Fangxing shook his head secretly, these people in the rivers and lakes are really easy to deceive, and they can't even see such an obvious method of self-defilement? It seems that Liu Zhengfeng is determined to avoid overseas, otherwise how can the imperial court tolerate him when he learns of such a false proclamation? He also thought: It would be good if the holy decree was true, Uncle Liu became a general, and he immediately went to his post, and with the protection of the army, no matter how domineering the Songshan faction was, he would not dare to do anything to him!
