Chapter 503 (Two in One)
After leaving the house, Lord Zhang frowned. This Liu Zhengfeng really didn't understand the officialdom style. What do you want to do by giving gold and silver in front of so many people?
But forget it. They are just a bunch of gangsters and they are just doing things according to the rules. Liu Zhengfeng is already a famous master in the martial arts world. Being able to bring him into the court camp, even if it is only in name, is also a credit.
When you are at home, great things will come to you. I didn't expect that a hero like Liu Zhengfeng would take the initiative to become an official. The task fell to him, but he didn't expect that the other party would ask him to announce this matter to him today. He didn't think there was anything wrong with it, after all, there were benefits.
Of course, he also had to feel at ease. Under normal circumstances, Liu Zhengfeng could not be a lieutenant general, even if it was a nominal position. Liu Zhengfeng spent a lot of money before he came up with this idea. In fact, what Liu Zhengfeng should have joined was actually the number one manor in the world.
He had understood this in advance. To retire meant announcing in front of everyone that he was quitting the underworld. He came here because there was no danger. However, he was also confident that with his identity, no one in the underworld would dare to attack him.
He is afraid of the people in the underworld, those who hide their identities and eliminate harm. Now he has a status in the court. If you dare to touch me, how many elite soldiers and generals do you have?
"Sir Zhang, we are about to leave Hengyang." Not long after leaving Liu's house, they ran into other people, the local government clerk.
"It's Lord He. The work has been done, so of course you are leaving." Lord Zhang said with a smile, but he wanted to curse in his heart. He just got the money, and now he wants to take advantage of it. What the hell.
"Master Zhang, I wish you all the best." Master He smiled and said nothing.
"Well, Lord He, you have been in Hengyang for a few days, but you haven't taken a good walk around Hengyang. I wonder if Lord He has time?" Lord Zhang saw this scene. He was so smart. The other party said this, so it was naturally impossible for him to be set a trap. There must be no trap here.
He knew that Old He was the most capable assistant of the local prefect. Although his official position belonged to the inspection series and was half a level higher than the other party, the other party was a local tyrant and must be extraordinary.
"Sir Zhang, I am busy with many things to do and I just happened to pass by here." Sir He said with a smile. Sir Zhang wanted to curse in his heart, saying that no one would believe you. He was also thinking that he should not have done anything wrong.
"Sir He, please don't refuse. There is a teahouse just ahead. Please come in." Sir Zhang pushed Sir He directly into the teahouse. Sir He resisted on the surface, but he was naturally willing in his heart. He really thought that there was a problem only because he passed by.
"Sir He, you and I hit it off right away. I don't know how you are going to teach me." Sir Zhang said, feeling a little distressed. There was a plate covered with cloth on the table. It was given by Liu Zhengfeng. Now, the plate has not been uncovered, but is placed in the middle of the table, a little towards Sir He. What does this represent?
It means that if I can eat this thing, you can naturally have a bite too, and if your thing is valuable, you can even take the lion's share.
Of course, if your information is useless, this thing is just placed there. This is actually a bit superficial, but Lord Zhang is not a local official, and he is not familiar with Lord He, so he can only be more obvious and use official language.
"Master Zhang, I'll say it clearly if I have something to say. It's because of this dish of food. It's too ostentatious." Master He said after taking a sip of tea.
"What do you mean? You are just a bunch of ruffians." Lord Zhang was a little confused. He was not surprised how the other party knew what happened inside. His words were biased against the martial arts people. After all, he was a scholar. In fact, all officials were like this.
No matter they are corrupt officials or honest officials, they all have no good feelings towards martial artists. They think they are rule breakers. They hate rule breakers the most, but there is nothing they can do about it.
"That's what you said, but Brother Zhang is still thinking too simply. Do you know that among the people present, there is a person with a special identity?" said Lord He.
"How is it special?" Lord Zhang pushed the plate toward him again, feeling a little nervous.
"Does Lord Zhang know the Jinyiwei?" Lao He picked up the teacup and took a sip, but the three words "Jinyiwei" made Lord Zhang drop the cup in his hand directly to the ground, unable to hold it any longer.
"He, Lord He, what do you mean?" The Embroidered Uniform Guard, the East Factory, and the West Factory were all spy organizations that scared people in government offices, and there was no official who was not afraid of them.
Lord Zhang was thinking that although there was a banner of the Jinyiwei in Hengyang, it was just a household registration office, and he had not offended them. When Liu Zhengfeng was making arrangements, the Jinyiwei also benefited from it.
"Hey, Lord Zhang, have you heard of Shen Yujing of Tianxia Escort Agency?" Lord He made it a little clearer.
"Well, I've heard of him. He is one of the best masters in Hengyang, but what is his relationship with the Jinyiwei?" Lord Zhang couldn't figure it out.
He knew Shen Qingzhou, but he didn't think the two of them had any intersection. No matter how great a hero you are, you have nothing to do with me.
"Master Zhang, do you know that Shen Escort is a well-known escort all over the world? He is not only a good friend of Jin Jiuling of the Six Gates, but also a close friend of Bai Hu, one of the four ministers of the Imperial Guards.
But it's normal. Although this news is not top secret, not many people know it. It's normal that Lord Zhang doesn't know it. "Lord He said with a smile.
"White Tiger." Upon hearing this name, the expression on Lord Zhang's face changed drastically. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be like this after being an official for so long.
But the names Jinyiwei and Baihu did make him a little scared.
The four symbols of the Jinyiwei are Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird and Black Tortoise. It is also one of the factions of the Jinyiwei, headed by Azure Dragon. In the Jinyiwei, White Tiger is already a high-level official.
Being his close friend, Shen Yujing could communicate with Baihu directly. If he wanted, he could let Baihu know that he had collected money in public today.
He doesn't care about the simple martial artists. Nothing can affect him. He is used to being called a dog official, but who does it affect?
But Baihu's organization and identity are too scary. If the Jinyiwei catch them, he will be finished.
He does have connections with all the local Jinyiwei households, and not all Jinyiwei are selfless people, but there are some things that you cannot put on the table. You can deal with one Jinyiwei, but you can't deal with all of them.
Just like Liu Zhengfeng, he is a local tyrant and has good relations with various forces, but if you involve the capital, then nothing will work.
Of course, Shen Yujing might not say this, but what if? He actually knew before he came that Shen Yujing and Jin Jiuling were good friends. Although Lu Xiaofeng became famous in the incident of the Hua family's iron shoe thief, the court was paying attention to Jin Jiuling. Jin Jiuling and Shen Qingzhou were also good friends.
There is also the famous Hua family, but he feels that they are not in the same system as him, so it would be fine if he doesn't offend them, but how this involves the Jinyiwei, which is really speechless.
After all, Baihu is a member of the Imperial Guard, and unlike the people in the martial arts world, although many people know about his relationship with Shen Qingzhou, they would not be crazy enough to spread the news everywhere, which led to the current situation.
"Sir Zhang, in fact, apart from Shen Yujing, there is only one martial artist present. Although he is not famous, even the prefect would look down on him if he saw him. The Six Gates is headed by Guo Juxia, and there is a woman among them. She is Guo Juxia's only daughter and the younger sister of the four great detectives." Sir He's words made Sir Zhang's legs go weak.
Guo Juxia may not hold a high position in the court, but some things are not determined by official position. Guo Juxia is one of the military pillars of the court. In terms of importance, he is no less important than Tiedan Shenhou. Moreover, he hates evil and hates evil. If he knew about this, he would be finished.
Each of them is somehow related to people in the imperial court. Didn’t Liu Zhengfeng say that they are all friends in the martial arts world?
In fact, he also knew that the reason why Liu Zhengfeng gave him money openly was actually to humiliate himself, and he also wanted to tell the people in the underworld that he had left the underworld and joined the ranks of the court's lackeys.
It is never easy to quit the underworld. The imperial court is a big backer. It would be great to get a sinecure and live a free and easy life.
He actually didn't know about this, he just came to give him something at this time, but he didn't want to be dissatisfied with this free gold. It had to be at least a thousand taels of gold, real gold bars, he could estimate that.
Liu Zhengfeng is indeed a good person, but now, you have put me in a dilemma. This cannot be blamed on Liu Zhengfeng. Shen Qingzhou has a wide circle of friends. In Liu Zhengfeng's mind, he and Shen Qingzhou have no grudges or enmity, and they also cooperate in business. Naturally, he will not take this seriously, but Lord Zhang does not know.
As for Guo Furong's identity, she really didn't know. Guo Furong's identity was not top secret, but it was not known to everyone. In Liu Zhengfeng's opinion, the only people who cared about Tongfu Inn were Tong Xiangyu, the eldest daughter of the owner of Longmen Escort Agency, and Mo Xiaobei, the contemporary successor of the Hengshan Mo family.
No one in the Hengshan Sect knew Bai Zhantang's identity. For some things, you can see them from a bird's eye view in TV dramas, but in reality, not even Shen Qingzhou was told about Bai Zhantang's identity.
Even though Li Dazui and Broken Fingers Xuanyuan knew about it, there were some things that couldn't be said casually. Even though they had such a good relationship with Shen Qingzhou, they could keep their own secrets but had to keep other people's secrets confidential.
On Lord Zhang's side, all the gold bars on the table have already been transferred to Lord He's side. This is normal. Although gold is important, it is completely different when it comes to the Jinyiwei and the Six Gates.
"Master Zhang, the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. The person involved is confused. The fact that Mr. Shen and Miss Guo can come here to retire means that their master Liu Zhengfeng has a good personal relationship with them." Master He pointed out.
"That's true. Thank you, Lord He." Lord Zhang did not think the solution was easy. For him, Lord He's coming here was the greatest help to him.
In fact, he knows the solution himself, but the most important thing is that he would do this only because he knows there is such a person around him.
……
As the officials left, the scene fell into silence. Everyone looked at each other, unable to speak. Everyone's face was filled with embarrassment and surprise.
Although the guests who came to Liu's house were not gangsters or rebels, they were all famous in the martial arts world and were people who thought highly of themselves and looked down on the government.
At this moment, everyone saw that Liu Zhengfeng was trying to curry favor with the powerful and was given a small military officer position like "lieutenant general". They were so grateful that they made all kinds of disgusting expressions and even bribed him openly. They looked down on him in their hearts, and some people could not help but show contempt for him.
In fact, Liu Zhengfeng also had good intentions. If he joined the world's number one manor, it would be a joke for him to quit the world. Although the position of lieutenant general is empty, he can protect his family, which is completely different.
Some guests were thinking: "Looking at this, his official hat must have been bought with gold and silver. I wonder how much gold and silver he spent to buy the governor's recommendation.
Liu Zhengfeng has always been an upright person, how come he is so obsessed with money and fame that he would resort to any means to buy an official position?"
Shen Qingzhou looked at the scene in front of him, and suddenly looked behind the house. He was so bold that he went straight into the backyard of Liu's mansion.
He heard someone breaking into the backyard directly from the roof. Of course, most people would not be able to detect this, after all, there were too many people there. But for Shen Qingzhou, who was prepared, these things were as easy as reading the lines on the palm of your hand.
Zuo Lengchan of the Songshan School was quite courageous. This was a deterrent, but also a test. He used Liu Zhengfeng as bait and gradually got involved in the affairs of the Five Mountains sects. Of course, it was also because Liu Zhengfeng acted too unruly that Zuo Lengchan discovered his secret.
Shen Qingzhou looked at the location of Huashan Sect again, and then looked at a young man behind Yue Buqun. The other party did not stare at Liu Zhengfeng like ordinary people, but instead glanced towards the location of Qingcheng Sect from time to time.
Yu Canghai from the Qingcheng Sect was in a similar situation, except that he was filled with fear when he saw Yue Buqun's smile. This Mr. Yue was not someone he could afford to offend.
Shen Qingzhou knew that this was Lin Pingzhi. He heard Yue Lingshan introduce him to others as his junior fellow apprentice.
Not seeing Linghu Chong and not knowing what he was doing, Shen Qingzhou watched Lin Pingzhi still worship Yue Buqun as his master. The inertia in the martial arts world still exists.
The only difference is that he definitely won't be able to learn the Sword Manual of Exorcism, but having the cassock in his hands can help the Lin family expand, which can be considered a good thing.
Liu Zhengfeng walked up to everyone, with a cheerful face, and invited everyone to take a seat. No one was willing to sit in the chief seat, so the throne in the middle was left empty.
Shen Qingzhou is actually qualified, but that is in terms of martial arts. However, the martial arts world also values seniority. He is really too young, and he doesn't care about these things.
Shen Qingzhou looked at the scene. No one from the Songshan Sect came, and no one from the Hengshan Sect came. The Five Mountains Sword Sects were of the same blood, and this was clearly demonstrated in such matters.
However, others didn't know, but he knew that the people from the Songshan School had already arrived, and he was a little uncomfortable with the style of this sect.
The heroes sat down one after another, servants came up to serve dishes and pour wine, and Mi Weiyi brought out a coffee table covered with brocade.
Xiang Danian held in his hands a golden basin that was a foot and a half in diameter and shone brightly. He placed it on the coffee table. The basin was filled with water. Three gunshots were heard outside the door, followed by eight loud firecrackers.
All the younger generations who were seated in the back hall and the flower hall rushed to the hall to watch the fun.
