Chapter 358: Killing officials and rebelling, Fang Wei is chivalrous
It turned out that Tian Boguang discovered Yue Buqun when he came down.
Linghu Chongfei suddenly saw his master Yue Buqun in the air, and shouted in surprise: "Master, please help kill this court eagle dog to avenge the comrades of Wuhumen!"
‘ga bang bang bang’
Seeing that his precious apprentice was fine, Yue Buqun had just put his mind at ease when Leng Buding heard such words that dragged him into trouble. He was so angry that his teeth almost broke!
"evil creature!"
There was a loud shout and a hard slap with the palm, 'Pah!'
"Ouch!"
Linghu Chong was struck unexpectedly by the slap, and stars appeared in his eyes. He fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.
Tian Boguang ignored Yue Buqun's lecture to his apprentice, walked up to the three men who had fallen to the ground, chopped off the heads of the three men with three swipes, reached out and picked them up, and walked towards the stairs.
Seeing Tian Boguang coming, Yue Buqun also knew that now was not the opportunity to educate his apprentice, so he picked up the confused apprentice and walked towards the third floor.
Linghu Chong couldn't stand up, and his feet made a clanging sound on the stairs. Tian Boguang couldn't help but laugh.
In fact, he quite likes Linghu Chong's temperament. In the past, his work was no different from Linghu Chong's. Anyway, one person had enough to eat and the whole family was not hungry, and he was not afraid of hurting anyone. He acted according to his own preferences, which was really free and happy.
Arriving upstairs, Tian Boguang threw the heads at the stairs, came to Wang Xuan and said, "Master, kill everyone."
Wang Xuan nodded and didn't say anything more. Instead, he looked at Linghu Chong in Yue Buqun's hand, the proudest troublemaker in the world...
No matter how you look at it, he looks like a middle-aged man... Maybe he has a good talent for martial arts...
"boom!"
Yue Buqun threw Linghu Chong to the ground, causing him to groan.
Linghu Chong secretly looked up at Yue Buqun. Although his face was dark, he seemed to have no intention of further repairing him. He secretly moved back a few times and got behind Yue Buqun, and then he got up.
Looking around, he saw the junior sister, and immediately smiled and winked at the junior sister. When he saw Yue Lingshan, he rolled his eyes.
"Come here!" Yue Buqun said through gritted teeth, "I won't apologize to Mr. Wuzhou yet!"
"Ah!" Linghu Chong was startled, and then he felt something was wrong. He looked at Wang Xuan, who was sitting in the main seat and wearing a moon-white robe, and looked at Tian Boguang who was eating something and looking at him with a smile, and at the junior sister who rolled her eyes.
...Linghu Chong suddenly felt the wisps of cold air emanating from the master next to him, and couldn't help but shiver.
"It seems like we are in some kind of trouble..." Linghu Chong lowered his head and whispered.
The person present was not an expert. Even though Linghu Chong spoke in a low voice, everyone heard him clearly.
Wang Xuan sighed, maybe it's not that Linghu Chong doesn't understand the meaning of loyalty and filial piety, maybe this guy has no brains, in other words, he is a giant baby, a giant baby who has been in the rebellious stage his whole life.
No matter how many blows and setbacks he receives, he can never change his true nature!
Wang Xuan shook his head and stood up, "Okay, Master Yue, please greet the disciples. I will leave first."
"Mr. Wuzhou, my apprentice has already arranged a place to stay in the city, why don't you follow me there?" Yue Buqun bowed his hand to Wang Xuan, and Yue Lingshan also looked at Wang Xuan with piercing eyes.
"No, I have to pay a visit to the prefect. I will join in the fun tomorrow when the Liu government washes their hands in the golden basin." Wang Xuan showed an incomprehensible smile.
"Farewell to Mr. Wuzhou." Yue Buqun clasped his fists and watched Wang Xuan leave with Tian Boguang. Then he breathed a sigh of relief. He turned back to look at Linghu Chong and suddenly shouted: "Evil disciple, kneel down!
"
When he came downstairs, Wang Xuan threw twenty 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 on his way to the prefect's Yamen and would take care of it on the way.
…
Wang Xuan and Tian Boguang first came to the door of a house. Wang Xuan ordered Ye Huo and others to buy it here as a place to stay in Hengyang City. Ye Huo and Lin Zhennan currently live here, along with hundreds of other people.
They are also quietly distributed around.
After meeting a few people, Wang Xuan took a good shower, and then took the people with him to the Hengshan government office with a letter he had written to Fuzhou Governor Li Shantang before leaving.
The two yamen servants at the gate of the government office held water and fire sticks in their hands. Looking at the aura of Wang Xuan and his group, they knew that they had a good background. They did not dare to scold them, but asked respectfully: "I don't know what you are doing in the government office."
.”
The person next to me handed Wang Xuan's greeting card and Governor Li's letter to the yamen servant, "My master is here to pay homage to the prefect, and I would like to thank you for your courtesy."
After saying that, he handed over a small ingot of silver.
The yamen servant's hand slipped, and the money fell naturally into his sleeve. The smile on his face became even brighter, "Guys, please wait a moment. I'll be back soon."
After a while, the gate of the government office opened wide, and the prefect Jia Tianhua came to the door and welcomed Wang Xuan in.
This is not because Wang Xuan became famous in Huguang, but because of a letter from Governor Li. In the letter, Governor Li praised Wang Xuan a lot, which naturally made Jia Tianhua, who had a good relationship with Governor Li, take a high look at Wang Xuan.
In addition, Wang Xuan's etiquette was also relatively thorough. There was a small bag hanging under the greeting card. It was a gift to Jia Tianhua, containing eighteen pearls of the same size.
Pearls are not rare, but pearls of exactly the same size and round body are even rarer. According to the market price, these eighteen pearls are worth no less than three hundred taels of silver. It is no wonder that Jia Tianhua gave such a big gift as soon as they met.
meet.
In fact, these pearls are artificially planted and can grow in more than a year. Wang Xuan can have as many as he wants, but they are not worth so much money...
When they arrived at the house, the two talked for a while, and when they left, Wang Xuan got a warrant.
…
On the second day, I went to Liu Zhengfeng’s house.
Yue Buqun led a group of disciples to visit the Liu Mansion. Liu Zhengfeng was surprised and happy after receiving the news. The leader of the Huashan Sect, the famous "Junzi Sword" in the martial arts world, actually came in person. This was a great blessing to him.
face.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He welcomed people in from the door and kept saying thank you. Yue Buqun seemed modest and steady. He congratulated with a smile on his face and joined hands with Liu Zhengfeng.
Walk through the door.
After that, people from Tianmen arrived, Master Dingyi, Yu Canghai, Mr. Wen, He Sanqi and others also came out to greet Yue Buqun.
After greeting everyone one by one, Yue Buqun said a few more words to Yu Canghai, "Master Yu, I haven't seen you for many years, but your appearance is even better than before!"
After all, Yue Buqun was quite grateful for having obtained all the secrets of his sect.
After Yu Canghai was released by Wang Xuan, he also got the secret book of evil-fighting swordsmanship. After reading it for a while, he was shocked.
Thinking that he had lost all his family's inheritance for such a secret book, he felt depressed, but he didn't dare to go to Wang Xuan to trouble him. He would definitely suffer the consequences of this mute.
He hurried to Huguang to meet with his disciples. The other branches of the Fuwei Escort Agency were picked up by his disciples. He gained a lot of money, which more or less made up for his losses, so he felt better.
Everyone exchanged a few words, and during this period guests arrived one after another. Today was the day for Liu Zhengfeng to wash his hands in a golden basin. Near noon, five to six hundred guests from far and wide poured into the Liu Mansion.
Among them, the deputy gang leader Jin Ao of the Beggar Gang, the old boxer Xia of Zhengzhou Liuhe Sect led his three sons-in-law, the goddess Feng Tie Laolao of the Three Gorges of Sichuan and Hubei, the leader of the Nanhai Haisha Sect Pan Hou, the two friends of Qujiang, Bai Ke, the magic sword, Lu Xisi, the magic pen, and others
Arriving one after another.
Among the thousands of people before and after, there were some who knew each other, but some who just admired each other but had never seen them before. Suddenly, there was a loud noise in the entire courtyard.
Some people from the Wuyue Sword Sect, headed by Master Tianmen and Master Dingyi, were resting in the wing rooms respectively and did not want to greet everyone. The reason was that although many people had a good reputation in the world, they were not members of famous sects.
, wouldn’t it mean to lose one’s identity by making friends with him?
Liu Zhengfeng, in particular, not only made friends with these unscrupulous people, but also invited them all over, which really ruined the reputation of their Five Mountains Sword Sect.
The only exception here is Yue Buqun. No matter who the guest is, even if he is unknown or not well-known, as long as he comes to talk to him, Yue Buqun will still talk and laugh, looking like a humble gentleman.
He never acted like the head of a famous family.
The disciples of the Liu Mansion commanded the servants, and about two hundred tables of banquets were set up inside and outside. Liu Zhengfeng's disciples also began to greet everyone to sit down. Just when everyone was humiliating each other and no one was willing to sit on the seat, there was a sound outside the door.
A kind of sound of drums and gongs.
Just by hearing this sound, everyone knew that someone from the government had come outside the Liu Mansion. All the people in the world were startled. They were usually the least willing to deal with people from the government. After all, according to the law, these guys didn't.
A few of them are clean, so they are inevitably a little scared when they see people from the government.
Of course, no one would show fear, so they could only stay away from it.
At this time, Liu Zhengfeng wore a brand-new brocade robe and hurriedly walked out of the inner hall. Everyone saw the lord and congratulated him loudly, but Liu Zhengfeng cupped his hands and hurried to the door.
After a while, they saw him walking in respectfully accompanied by an official in public clothes. People in the world thought that this official was also a martial arts master, but upon closer inspection, his eyes were dim and he looked like he was drunk.
, obviously someone who doesn’t know how to do martial arts.
Yue Buqun didn't think there was anything strange. Liu Zhengfeng was not only the second-largest figure in the Hengshan sect, but also a big man in Hengshan City. He usually had to make friends with the government. Today was the day for him to retire from the world, and there were local officials coming.
Not surprising.
But the development of things was beyond everyone's expectation. The official took a bright yellow scroll from the hand of the government servant next to him and said loudly: "The imperial edict has arrived, Liu Zhengfeng listens to it."
A kind of person in the world was shocked. How could washing hands in a golden basin have anything to do with the imperial court? How could an imperial edict be produced? Could it be that Liu Zhengfeng was involved in some major treason case? If so, stay away from him.
Don't implicate yourself. This is a serious crime that will kill the nine tribes. Thinking of this, everyone began to retreat, wishing that they had never been here and never knew Liu Zhengfeng.
He was even more impatient and had begun to touch the weapons on his body. If people from the government rushed in to arrest people, they would fight their way out no matter what. Even if it was not for Liu Zhengfeng, there would be no one under the overthrow of the nest.
After the egg is over, nothing can be done to let the officials succeed.
Just when everyone was having different thoughts, Liu Zhengfeng fell to his knees and smacked his head three times in a row, "The humble minister Liu Zhengfeng listens to the order, long live my emperor."
"The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun issued an edict: According to the report of the governor of Hunan Province, Liu Zhengfeng, a common man in Hengshan County, is eager for public justice and has a good reputation for justice. His merits are in Sangzi, and he is skilled in bow and horse, so he can be put to great use. He has been given the post of general. He will serve the imperial court in the future and live up to his expectations.
I hope and admire this."
Liu Zhengfeng kowtowed again and said: "Weak minister Liu Zhengfeng thanks you, long live my emperor."
After getting up, Liu Zhengfeng had a pleasant chat with the visitor, and presented him with a large gift. The two of them drank three glasses of wine before sending the visitor out. Until the gongs and drums sounded again, the official who announced the decree left, and the courtyard
Only then came a kind of discussion from people in the world.
All the guests who came to the Liu Mansion, whether they were from the black or white circles, were all well-known in the martial arts world. On weekdays, they all had a high self-esteem, and when talking about people in the government behind their backs, they spoke like the imperial court.
They kept shouting about "hawks, dogs, lackeys, etc." Of course, they were all talking behind their backs, and no one dared to say a word of nonsense in front of them.
Now that the people in the government were gone, these people could not help but start talking quietly in the yard.
"Liu Zhengfeng is also a powerful figure in the world. Why is he so 'following the crowd'?"
"The Dog Emperor just gave him the title of 'General', a little military attache like this, and he looked like he was grateful. All these behaviors are very disgusting. It really embarrasses the face of our generation."
"No, it's a pity to bribe the other party with so much money... No, it's hateful!"
"It seems that he must have bought his official hat with money, but I don't know how much gold and silver he spent to get the governor's recommendation. It's really..."
"What a shame, why didn't I realize before that Liu Zhengfeng was so mercenary that he would do whatever it took to buy an official position? Hehehehe..."
For a time, everyone was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, but there was nothing they could do about it. It was not that no one thought about buying an official position, but that there was no money... After all, with thousands of years of official-oriented thinking, all fools know that being an official is good!
Liu Zhengfeng came back, and all the people in the world congratulated him with smiles on their faces. Everyone sat down one by one, and naturally there were servants and maids serving food and pouring wine.
Yue Buqun and several other sect leaders sat at the head table. His disciple Linghu Chong and others could only sit in the corner. At this time, there were ten people sitting at the table. In addition to the six disciples from Huashan, there were also people from other sects.
four people.
"Why is Uncle Liu so confused!" Linghu Chong couldn't control his mouth after a few sips of wine, and started nagging to the people at the table, "How can a great hero who is respected by everyone in the world spend money to buy an official position?
, to work as a hawk and lackey for the imperial court, wouldn’t it mean that we have lost our prestige in the world!”
Yue Lingshan raised her head and looked at the blue sky, and let out a deep breath. She was really convinced. Why didn't she find that her senior brother was so capable of seeking death before?
Her trip to Fujian this time really opened her eyes and saw the power of the government. To be honest, Shaanxi was too poor in the late Ming Dynasty, which led to their lack of broad vision. They always felt that the imperial court was just that...
But in Fuzhou Prefecture, she was fortunate enough to follow Yue Buqun to visit some of Wang Xuan's factories and the military training process.
Anyway, she was really shocked by the army. She heard Yue Buqun say that this kind of army does not need to be large. A thousand people can surround and kill top-notch masters. With an army of tens of thousands, any sect in the world can be wiped out in one fell swoop.
.
Shaomusi Temple is so huge, but it still has to obey the orders of the imperial court. Wudang is also the leader of the martial arts, so he still requires the imperial court to be canonized.
In fact, it was because of the canonization by the imperial court that Wudang could become the leader... After all, it had just been established at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and its foundation was inferior to many other major sects.
Taoism is still based on "Quan Zhen Dao" and "Zhengyi Dao", supplemented by Maoshan and others. The theory of "Quan Zhen Dao" has a long history.
The history of any of these sects far exceeds that of Wudang, and Huashan is the direct descendant of Quanzhen.
Now listening to Linghu Chong bragging about the people in the world, and his words often imply that he looked down on the imperial court, Yue Lingshan felt awkward all over, as if listening to a big fool bragging, and a feeling of irritation arose in her heart!!
He secretly looked up at Zhao Zhengyang, the newly joined junior fellow student, and found that he had the same unmistakable smile on his face as always, but no emotion could be seen on his face at all.
Suddenly, Yue Lingshan noticed that this smile was similar to that of her father and Wang Xuan. Maybe... this was 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, clasped his fists and gave a bow salute to everyone. A group of people from all walks of life quickly stood up and returned the salute.
Liu Zhengfeng laughed loudly and said: "Senior heroes, dear friends and heroes, you have come all the way to give Liu Zhengfeng a huge favor. I am very grateful to you!"
"Brother washes his hands in the golden basin today and will not be involved in the affairs of the world from now on. You must know the reason. Brother has been favored by the court and becomes a small official. As the saying goes: Eat the emperor's salary and be loyal to the emperor. Act in the Jianghu.
We must pay attention to loyalty; in the official affairs of the country, we must abide by the law and repay the king's kindness. If there is a conflict between the two, Liu Zhengfeng will inevitably be in trouble. From now on, Liu Zhengfeng will withdraw from the martial arts world. If my disciples are willing to switch to other sects, they can each do their own thing.
So. Liu invited you here to ask all your good friends to bear witness. After you come to Hengshan City, you will naturally still be Liu's good friends. However, Liu cannot forgive all the grudges and wrongs in the martial arts world.
I asked." After saying that, he bowed to the ground again.
Everyone present basically expected what he said. Many people shook their heads secretly. They only wanted to be officials and looked down on these things in the world. Everyone has his own ambitions, so it is impossible to force it. Anyway, from now on, in the martial arts world,
There is no such person anymore.
However, this move caused considerable losses to the Hengshan Sect. After all, Liu Zhengfeng was the number two figure in the Hengshan Sect. This meant that the Hengshan Sect's strength among the Five Mountains Sword Sect was greatly reduced.
Although they all came to participate in Liu Zhengfeng's golden basin hand-washing ceremony, it would be nonsense to say that they were all Liu Zhengfeng's friends. Only the devil could tell what their intentions were.
Someone in the crowd whispered, "The Five Mountains Sword Sect is a chivalrous sect. Look, when you get the opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune, you don't just kowtow to those officials. Such behavior, how can you call it 'chivalrous'?"
Character!?"
Linghu Chong heard clearly in the crowd and couldn't help but nod his head repeatedly. In his heart, anyone who seeks refuge with the imperial court is not a 'chivalrous' act. Only those who oppose the imperial court and kill officials and rebel can be regarded as models of heroes.
.
I don’t know where the theories of these people come from, but this kind of thinking has been fueled by others, causing it to spread the most. Even if this person has done something harmful to nature, as long as he dares to go against the imperial court, he will be wanted by the imperial court.
, then you can be sought after by people in the world.
However, a sect like Wudang Shaomu has always required its disciples to be cautious in their words and deeds and never provoke the power of the government.
Anyway, after Liu Zhengfeng said these words, the entire hall and the courtyard became silent. Logically speaking, everyone should start to congratulate Liu Zhengfeng at this time and wish him 'full happiness and longevity', 'retreat bravely from the rapids', and 'great wisdom and courage'.
But now, there are a thousand people gathered together, but no one says a word.
