Chapter 355 Killing Officials and Rebelling Fang Wei'Chivalry'

It turned out that Yue Buqun was discovered by Tian Boguang when he came here.

Linghu Chongfei suddenly saw his master Yue Buqun in the air, and shouted in surprise: "Master, quickly help kill this imperial eagle dog to avenge the fellows of Wuhumen!"

'gabengbeng'

Seeing that the precious apprentice was fine, Yue Buqun's heart had just let go when he suddenly heard such words that dragged him into the water, his teeth almost gnawed in anger!
"evil creature!"

With a loud shout, he slapped down fiercely with his palm, 'Pa! '

"Ouch!"

Unexpectedly, Linghu Chong's eyes stared at this palm strike, and he fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.

Tian Boguang ignored Yue Buqun's teaching his disciples, walked up to the three felled men, chopped off three heads with three sabers, and walked towards the stairs with his hand in his hands.

Seeing Tian Boguang approaching, Yue Buqun also knew that this was not the time to educate his apprentice, so he picked up the stunned apprentice and walked towards the third floor.

Linghu Chong couldn't stand up, his feet dragged on the stairs and there was a sound of 'dang bang bang', Tian Boguang couldn't help laughing when he saw it.

In fact, he liked Linghu Chong's temperament quite a bit. In the past, he did things no differently from Linghu Chong. Anyway, he could eat enough for one person and the whole family would not be hungry.

Upstairs, Tian Boguang threw the head on the stairs, came to Wang Xuan and said, "My lord, everyone has been killed."

Wang Xuan nodded, didn't say much, instead he looked at Linghu Chong in Yue Buqun's hand, the No.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a middle-aged man...Maybe the talent in martial arts is quite good...

"boom!"

Yue Buqun threw Linghu Chong to the ground, and he fell with a groan.

Linghu Chong secretly raised his head to look at Yue Buqun. Although his face was dark, he didn't seem to intend to further punish him, so he moved back a few times secretly to get behind Yue Buqun, and then he got up.

Looking around and seeing the junior sister, he immediately smiled and winked at the junior sister, and rolled his eyes when he saw Yue Lingshan.

"Come here!" Yue Buqun gritted his teeth and said, "Don't make an apology to Mr. Wuzhou!"

"Ah!" Linghu Chong was stunned for a moment, and then he felt that something was wrong. Look at Wang Xuan, who is sitting in the main seat, who is dressed in a moon-white robe, looking imposing, Tian Boguang, who is eating and smiling at him, and the little junior sister who is rolling his eyes. ... Linghu Chong suddenly felt the cold air coming from the master around him, and couldn't help shivering.

"It seems that something is in trouble..." Linghu Chong lowered his head and whispered.

The one present was not an expert, even though Linghu Chong spoke in a low voice, everyone could hear him clearly.

Wang Xuan sighed, maybe it wasn't that Linghu Chong didn't understand the meaning of loyalty and filial piety, maybe this guy had no brains, in other words, this is a giant baby, a giant baby who has been in the rebellious stage all his life.

No matter how many blows and setbacks he receives, it is difficult to change his "baby and heroic nature"!
Wang Xuan shook his head and stood up, "Okay, Master Yue greets the disciples, I'll go first."

"Mr. Wuzhou, my apprentice has already arranged a foothold in the city, why don't you follow me?" Yue Buqun bowed to Wang Xuan, and Yue Lingshan also looked at Wang Xuan with piercing eyes.

"No need, I still have to visit the prefect of this prefecture. I will also join in the fun tomorrow when the Liu government washes its hands in the gold basin." Wang Xuan showed an inexplicable smile.

"Farewell to Mr. Wuzhou." Yue Buqun clasped his fists, heaved a sigh of relief when he watched Wang Xuan take Tian Boguang away, turned his head to look at Linghu Chong, and suddenly sternly shouted: "Evil, kneel down! "

When they came downstairs, Wang Xuan threw 20 taels of silver to the boss, which was regarded as compensation for the hotel. As for the corpse, there was no need to worry about it. He was going to the magistrate's yamen, and he would take care of it by the way.

……

Wang Xuan and Tian Boguang first came to the gate of a house, which was purchased by Yehuo and others who were ordered by Wang Xuan to go ahead, as a foothold in Hengyang City. Currently, Yehuo and Lin Zhennan live here, and another hundred people It is also quietly distributed around.

After seeing a few people, Wang Xuan washed himself well, and then he brought someone to the Hengshan government office with a letter written by Li Shantang, governor of Fuzhou, before leaving.

The two yamen servants at the gate of the mansion held water and fire sticks in their hands. Looking at the aura of Wang Xuan and his party, they knew that they were not young. .”

The people around him handed Wang Xuan's letter of greeting and Governor Li's letter to the yamen servant, "My master came to pay his respects to the magistrate, so I would like to trouble you."

After speaking, a small ingot of silver was handed over.

As soon as the yamen servant slipped his hand, the silver fell into his sleeve naturally, and the smile on his face was even stronger, "Wait a moment, everyone, I will come as soon as I go."

After a while, the door of the government office opened wide, and the prefect Jia Tianhua came to the door and welcomed Wang Xuan in.

It's not that Wang Xuan is well-known in Huguang, it's all because of a letter from Governor Li. In the letter, Governor Li praised Wang Xuan a lot. Naturally, Jia Tianhua, who has a good relationship with Governor Li, can give Wang Xuan a high look.

In addition, Wang Xuan's etiquette is relatively considerate, there is a small bag hanging under the greeting card, which is a gift for Jia Tianhua, with eighteen pearls of exactly the same size.

Pearls are not rare, but pearls that are exactly the same size and round in body are more rare. According to the market price, these eighteen pearls are worth no less than 300 taels of silver. It is no wonder that Jia Tianhua went out to greet her with such a big gift as soon as they met. .

In fact, these pearls are artificially planted at all, and they can grow in more than a year. Wang Xuan has as many as he wants, and they are not worth so much money at all...

Welcomed to the mansion, the two talked for a while, and when they left, Wang Xuan got a warrant.

……

On the second day, Liu Zhengfeng came to the residence.

Yue Buqun led a group of disciples to pay a visit to Liu's residence. Liu Zhengfeng was both surprised and delighted when he got the news. The head of the famous "Gentlemen's Sword" Huashan School actually came in person. face.

People came in from the door, thanking them non-stop, Yue Buqun seemed modest and steady, he congratulated with a smile on his face, and walked into the door hand in hand with Liu Zhengfeng.

After that, Tianmen Daoren, Master Dingyi, Yu Canghai, Mr. Wen, He Sanqi and others all came out to welcome Yue Buqun.

After greeting everyone one by one, Yue Buqun said a few more words to Yu Canghai, "Guanzhu Yu, I haven't seen you for many years, but this appearance is even better than before!"

After all, Yue Buqun was very grateful for having taken all the secret books of other sects.

After Yu Canghai was released by Wang Xuan, he also got the secret book of evil swordsmanship, and he was surprised after reading it a little.

Thinking of losing all his family's inheritance for such a secret book, let alone how depressed he was, but he didn't dare to ask Wang Xuan to trouble him, he would definitely suffer from the dumbness.

He hurried to Huguang to reunite with a group of apprentices. The other sub-helms of the Fuwei Escort were picked by his apprentices. The wealth gained was not small, which more or less made up for his loss, so he felt better.

Everyone exchanged pleasantries. During this period, guests came one after another. Today is Liu Zhengfeng's day of "washing his hands in a golden basin". Around noon, five or six hundred guests from afar came pouring into Liu's mansion.

Among them, Advocate Jin Ao, deputy gang member of the Beggar Gang, Xia Lao boxer of Zhengzhou Liuhemen led three sons-in-law, Feng Tie Laolao, goddess of the Three Gorges of Sichuan and Hubei, Pan Hou, master of the Nanhai Sea Sand School, Qujiang Eryou Shendao Baike, magic brush Lucis and others Come one after another.

There were thousands of people who knew each other before and after, and there were those who just admired the name but had never met Youzhi. Suddenly, there was a loud commotion in the whole courtyard.

Some members of the Five Sacred Sword Sect headed by Tianmen Daoren and Master Dingyi were resting in the wing room, unwilling to greet everyone. The reason is that although many people have a good reputation in the Jianghu, they are not members of the famous sect. , Wouldn't it be a loss of one's identity to make friends with it?

Especially Liu Zhengfeng, not only made friends with these dubious people, but also invited them all over, which really ruined the prestige of their Five Sacred Sword Sect.

The only exception here is Yue Buqun. No matter who the guests are, even if they are unknown or not well-known, as long as they come to talk to him, Yue Buqun will talk and laugh like a gentleman. He never puts on the airs of a decent head of a famous family.

The disciples of the Liu Mansion commanded the servants, and set up more than two hundred banquet tables inside and out. Liu Zhengfeng's disciples also began to invite everyone to sit down. Just when everyone was giving way to each other and no one was willing to sit in the upper seat, there was a sound outside the door. The sound of drums and gongs.

Just by hearing this voice, everyone knew that someone from the government had come outside the gate of Liu's mansion. The people from the Jianghu were stunned. They were most unwilling to deal with people from the government on weekdays. After all, according to the law, these guys did not A few of them are clean, and it is inevitable to be a little afraid to see the people in the government.

Of course, no one will show fear, so they can only stay away from it.

At this time, Liu Zhengfeng hurried out of the inner hall wearing a brand new brocade robe. Everyone congratulated the Lord loudly when they saw the Lord, but Liu Zhengfeng cupped his hands and walked quickly outside the door.

After a while, seeing him walking in respectfully accompanied by an official in official uniform, all the people in the world thought that this official was also a martial arts master, but after a closer look, his eyes were dim and his face was wine-colored. , obviously someone who doesn't know martial arts.

Yue Buqun didn't think there was anything strange about it. Apart from being the number two figure of the Hengshan School, Liu Zhengfeng was also a big family in Hengshan City, so he naturally had to make friends with the government. Today is the day when he retires from the Jianghu. Not surprising.

But the development of the matter was beyond everyone's expectations. The official took a bright yellow scroll from the hand of the yamen servant next to him, and said loudly: "The imperial decree has arrived, Liu Zhengfeng listens to the decree."

A kind of people in the world were startled, what is the relationship between a golden basin washing hands and the imperial court, why did they come up with an imperial decree, could it be that Liu Zhengfeng was involved in some major treason case, if so, you should stay away from him, Don't implicate yourself. This is a serious crime to kill the nine clans. Thinking of this, everyone started to retreat, wishing that they had never been here before, and never knew Liu Zhengfeng.

The ones who are even more impatient have already started to touch the weapons on their bodies. If the people from the government rush in to arrest people, they will kill a bloody way even if it is not for Liu Zhengfeng. After all, no matter what you say, you can't let the people in the government succeed.

Just when everyone was thinking differently, Liu Zhengfeng fell to his knees and smacked his head three times in a row, "My minister Liu Zhengfeng listens to the decree, long live my emperor, long live long live."

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's edict said: According to the report of the governor of Hunan Province, Liu Zhengfeng, a commoner in Hengshan County, is eager for public service and righteousness. I hope, I admire this."

Liu Zhengfeng kowtowed again and said, "Thank you, my minister Liu Zhengfeng, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

After getting up, Liu Zhengfeng exchanged pleasantries with the visitor, and presented him with a generous present. The two of them drank three glasses of wine, and then sent the person out. The sound of gongs and drums sounded again, and the officials who announced the decree left. Only then came a kind of discussion from people in the arena.

All the guests who were able to come to the Liu Mansion, no matter they are middle-aged people in black or white, all of them are well-known in the martial arts world. They think highly of themselves on weekdays. Hawk dogs, lackeys, and the like kept shouting. Of course, they were talking behind their backs, and no one dared to say a word of nonsense in person.

Now that the people in the government have left, these people will inevitably start talking in the courtyard in a low voice.

"This Liu Zhengfeng is also a big man in the world, why is he so 'following the crowd'?"

"The dog emperor just gave him the title of a 'sessional general', a little military officer with sesame seeds and mung beans, and he looked very grateful. All kinds of behaviors are very disgusting, and it really embarrasses the face of my generation."

"No, it's a pity to bribe the other party with so much money... No, it's hateful!"

"From this point of view, his official hat must have been bought with money, but I don't know how much gold and silver it took to get the governor's recommendation, really..."

"Damn it, why didn't I realize that Liu Zhengfeng was so lucrative before, that he would use any means to buy an official to do it, ah, ah, ah..."

All of a sudden, everyone was envious, jealous and hated, but there was nothing they could do about it. It was not that no one wanted to buy an official, but that there was no money... After all, the idea of ​​official standards for thousands of years, fools know that it is good to be an official!
When Liu Zhengfeng came back, all the people from the Jianghu congratulated with smiles all over their faces. Everyone sat down one by one. Naturally, there were servants and maidservants serving food and wine.

Yue Buqun sat at the head table with several other sect leaders, and his disciple Linghu Chong and others could only sit in the corner. At this time, there were ten people sitting on the table, besides the six disciples from Huashan, there were also other disciples from other sects. four people.

"Why is this Uncle Liu so confused!" Linghu Chong couldn't control his mouth after a few sips of wine, and started nagging at the people on the table, "How can a hero who is respected by everyone in the world pay money to buy an official?" , Going to be a dog and dog for the imperial court, wouldn't it be detrimental to the prestige of us people in the rivers and lakes!"

Yue Lingshan raised her head to look at the blue sky, and let out a deep breath, she was really convinced, why didn't she realize that senior brother was so capable of killing him before!

She went to Fujian this time, and it really opened her eyes. She saw what the power of the government is. To be honest, Shaanxi was too poor at the end of the Ming Dynasty, so their vision was not wide enough, and they always felt that the court was just like that..., But in Fuzhou, she had the honor to visit some factories under Wang Xuan's men and the process of army training with Yue Buqun.

Anyway, she was really taken aback by the army. She heard from Yue Buqun that this kind of army doesn't need many, 1000 people can besiege and kill first-class masters.

Shaomu Temple is so huge, but the imperial court still needs to obey the orders in a proper manner. Wudang is also the leader of the martial arts, so it doesn't mean that he still requires the imperial court to be canonized.

In fact, it is because of the canonization of the imperial court that Wudang can become the leader... After all, it was just established at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and compared to its foundation, it is inferior to many other big factions.

Taoism still focuses on "Quanzhen Dao" and "Zhengyi Dao", supplemented by Maoshan and others. The theory of Youdao Quanzhen has a long history.

The history of any of these factions far exceeds that of Wudang, and their Huashan is the serious direct descendant of Quanzhen.

Now listening to Linghu Chong bragging about the people in the world, and his words seeming to look down on the imperial court, Yue Lingshan felt awkward all over, as if listening to a big fool bragging, a sense of irritability arose in her heart! !

He secretly raised his head to look at Zhao Zhengyang, the new junior brother, and found that he had the same unmistakable smile on his face, but he couldn't see any emotion from his face at all.

Suddenly, Yue Lingshan found that this smile was similar to that of her father and Wang Xuan, maybe... this is the smile a mature man should have.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of firecrackers, Liu Zhengfeng walked to the center of the hall with a smile, cupped his fists and bowed to everyone, and a group of people from the Jianghu hurriedly got up to return the salute.

Liu Zhengfeng laughed loudly and said: "All senior heroes, friends and heroes, you all came from afar to give me Liu Zhengfeng great face. I am here, and I am extremely grateful!"

"Brother washes his hands in the golden basin today, and from now on he will not ask about the affairs of the Jianghu. You must know the reason. Brother has been favored by the court to be a small official. As the saying goes: Eat the king's salary, and be loyal to the king. Do things in the Jianghu Pay attention to loyalty; state affairs must obey the law and 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. That's right. Liu invited everyone here to be a witness to all good friends. When you come to Hengshan City in the future, you will naturally be Liu's good friends, but Liu will not forgive all kinds of grievances and grievances in the martial arts I asked." After speaking, he bowed to the ground again.

Everyone in the room basically expected what he said, and many shook their heads secretly. They wanted to be an official, and they looked down on these things in the world. Everyone has his own ambitions, so it can't be forced. Anyway, from now on, in the martial arts world There is no such character.

However, this move is not a small loss to the Hengshan Sect. After all, Liu Zhengfeng is the number two figure in the Hengshan Sect. This time, the Hengshan Sect's strength in the Five Sacred Sword Sect has been greatly reduced.

Although they all came to participate in Liu Zhengfeng's Golden Basin Washing Ceremony, it would be nonsense to say that they are all friends of Liu Zhengfeng.

Someone in the crowd whispered, "The Wuyue Sword Sect is a chivalrous sect, look, this opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune, why don't you just kowtow to those officials, how can such behavior be called 'chivalry' Character!?"

Linghu Chong could hear it clearly in the crowd, and couldn't help nodding his head repeatedly. In his heart, anyone who turned to the imperial court was not done by "chivalry". .

I don't know where all the theories of these people came from, but this kind of thinking has been fueled by people, leading to the widest spread. Even if this person has done something outrageous, as long as he dares to oppose the court, he will be wanted by the court. , then you will be sought after by people in the rivers and lakes.

But sects like Wudang Shaomu have always required their disciples to be cautious in their words and deeds, and never provoke the power of the government.

Anyway, after Liu Zhengfeng finished speaking, the entire hall and the courtyard became completely silent. Logically speaking, at this time, everyone should start congratulating Liu Zhengfeng, wishing him 'good fortune and longevity', 'retire bravely', and 'great wisdom and courage'. But now, there are thousands of people gathered together, but no one speaks a word.
