Chapter 58 False Imperial Decree

There was no one talking to the whole hall for a while.

Everyone bowed their heads wherever Chen Zhao saw.

Seeing that no one answered, Chen Zhao nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "It seems that everyone is a chivalrous man in the world, and they all sympathize with the experience of Lin Zhennan's family. In this way, the Huashan Sect has inherited the love of the world."

After saying that, he turned to Liu Zhengfeng and said, "Lin Zhennan and his wife were seriously injured. Can they arrange a room for them and ask the doctor to take care of them carefully?"

Liu Zhengfeng hurriedly said, "This is a matter of course."

As he said that, his disciple Mi Weiyi immediately stepped forward and ordered people to arrange Lin Zhennan and his wife into the guest room, and recruit doctors and servants to take care of them.

Of course, Lin Pingzhi followed him.

After all this was arranged, Liu Zhengfeng invited Chen Zhao to rest in the back hall.

Others also greeted each other.

Only Yu Canghai's face turned red and purple. The Qingzhi Qingcheng Sect lost his ugly face today, and it would be even more embarrassing to continue to stay.

He immediately sighed and left with his disciples.

When the Qingcheng Sect left, Chen Zhao naturally ignored it and exchanged a few greetings with everyone. Guests from all walks of life came one after another in Liu's mansion. This day was the day when Liu Zhengfeng "washed his hands with golden basin". At the second hour of Si, Liu Zhengfeng returned to the inner hall and his disciples were entertaining guests.

Nearly noon, five or six hundred far-off guests rushed over like flowing water. Zhang Jinao, deputy leader of the Beggars' Gang, and Xia, the old boxer of the Liuhemen of Zhengzhou, led three sons-in-laws, Tie Lao Lao, the Goddess Peak of the Three Gorges in Sichuan and Hubei, Pan Hu, the leader of the East Sea Sand Gang, Bai Ke, and the magical pen Lu Xisi and others arrived one after another. Some of these people knew each other well, while others were only interested in the reputation and had never met. They were greeted and introduced in the hall, and the noise was loud.

Since Yue Buqun took over the Huashan Sect's portal, he has always made good friends because of his sect's weak power. Therefore, he has a good reputation in the world, and Chen Zhao possessed Yue Buqun, of course, had to inherit his strategy. Therefore, he did not retreat to the wing room like the Taoist of Tianmen and Master Dingyi, but instead talked to people in the hall.

He had just cleaned up Yu Canghai in the hall, saved Lin Zhennan's family, and openly brought the "gratitude and grudges of the Evil-Breaking Sword Book" to the Huashan Sect. It was really a chivalrous act! It was even more admirable, and countless people rushed forward to make friends with him. Many of the guests, including unknown people, or unknown people, would have come to talk to him, and Chen Zhao would talk and laugh with them, without any airs of being the leader of the Huashan Sect and being superior.

The disciples of the Liu family commanded the chef and servants, and set up two hundred seats inside and outside. Liu Zhengfeng's relatives, guests, tents, and Liu's disciples Xiang Da Nian, Mi Weiyi and others respectfully invited the guests to the seat.

According to the status and reputation in the martial arts world, the head of the Taishan Sect, the Taoist Tianmen, should be the chief, but the Five Yue Sword Sect formed an alliance. Half of the Taoist Tianmen, Yue Buqun, Master Dingyi, etc., were the masters, so it was not convenient to sit on the seat. The seniors and celebrities gave in to each other, and no one was willing to sit on the chief.

In the lively moment, two guns and drums and music were heard, and two teams of yamen runners were making their way. When they arrived in front of the mansion, Liu Zhengfeng confessed his guilt and quickly met him out. After a moment, he accompanied an arrogant official into the hall.

People in the world are looking at each other, and for some reason, some people from the government arrived.

The official stood in the middle of the hall, and a yamen runner stepped forward and knelt down, raised his hands high, and presented a tray. The official picked up the yellow scroll in the tray and said aloud: "The imperial edict has arrived, and Liu Zhengfeng received the edict."

Everyone in the field looked strange. He actually saw the emperor's imperial edict on such an occasion and stared blankly for a moment.

Liu Zhengfeng knelt on both knees, kowtowed three times, and said, "Liu Zhengfeng, a grass man, listen to the order, long live my emperor!"

The official issued an imperial edict and read it: "The emperor's edict in the Heavenly Congregation said: According to the report of the governor of Hunan Province, Liu Zhengfeng, a commoner in Hengshan County, was eager for justice and was loyal to his hometown. He was skilled in his archery and horse skills, and was very useful. He was truly appointed as a general. He would serve the court in the future and live up to my expectations. He admired this."

Liu Zhengfeng said: "My memory, Liu Zhengfeng, thank you, long live my emperor!" He raised his hands and received the imperial edict.

The official helped Liu Zhengfeng up and said, "Congratulations to General Liu!"

Liu Zhengfeng bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Governor and Lord Zhang to cultivate it!"

The Lord Zhang smiled and said, "From the future, you and I will be ministers in the same palace, so we can take care of each other."

Liu Zhengfeng said, "I dare not, I dare not, I need more advice from the official career." He reached out and moved backwards, and a disciple presented him with a tray. Liu Zhengfeng smiled and said, "I would like to thank you some, please accept it with a smile."

Lord Zhang smiled and said, "General Liu is so polite." The yamen runner took it over, his arms sank, but almost fell down.

Lord Zhang said with satisfaction: "Come on, come and have a drink!"

A servant brought a wine glass. Lord Zhang toasted Liu Zhengfeng three times and said, "I am busy with official duties, so I won't disturb the general. Goodbye." Gong bowed and turned around and left. Liu Zhengfeng accompanied him to the door.

Yue Lingshan leaned over, approached Chen Zhao, and asked in a low voice: "Dad, why do you look disrespectful to this official? Isn't it good for Uncle Liu to be an official?"

It turned out that she couldn't understand what the official said to be the imperial edict. When she was bored, she saw Chen Zhao smiling and asked curiously.

Chen Zhao also whispered: "This imperial edict is false."

As a person who has read countless books, Chen Zhao has seen the writing methods of the imperial edicts of the Ming and Qing dynasties among various books. When he traveled through time, he also studied them carefully, so he could immediately hear something wrong.

The imperial edict should have been very strict, but this imperial edict is full of loopholes. The ones who are copycats cannot be copied anymore. The actual generals were not even assigned to the office.

Furthermore, General Shen is a high-ranking official of the third and fourth rank. Who can buy such a large official in one go?

This imperial edict itself is an excuse. If you use the imperial edict to escape from the attention of the people in the martial arts world, Liu Zhengfeng can escape without a trace.

As for the official who announced the imperial edict, the soldiers who accompanied him were most likely hired to entrust him. Which official was so bold and dared to announce the imperial edict was drunk, which was a crime of disrespect.

Yue Lingshan knew that although his father was a gangster, he studied poetry and books hard, and was known as the "gentleman's sword". Since he said that the imperial edict was fake, it must be fake. He asked quickly: "This liar tricked him into the Liu Mansion. Why would I and a few senior brothers go and capture him so that Uncle Liu will not be fooled."

Chen Zhao smiled and said, "What a fuss? Didn't you see that this is a double act? Stay quietly, don't be too troublesome, let's take a look first."

Yue Lingshan said "Oh", and although she didn't understand what it meant, she nodded and said nothing.

Liu Zhengfeng looked as usual. When he returned to the hall, he asked all the old men to take a seat. Everyone was humble again, avoiding the main seat and standing on both sides.

Liu Zhengfeng said to many heroes in the world: "Just now, everyone has seen that Liu is already a court official. The grudges in the past have been eliminated, and in the future, they will only ask about the right and wrong in the world. If this is contrary to this, it is still like this sword."

He reached out and pulled out the sword, stretched out his hand and pulled it. With a "splash", the long sword broke into two pieces and waved it to the ground. The two broken swords slashed into the underground stone slab. When everyone saw it, they secretly praised their internal strength.

Outside the hall, firecrackers and drums and music, the Liu family disciples poured out together, and brought out a golden basin of water filled with clear water to the New Year. It was placed in the center of the hall. Liu Zhengfeng bowed his hand around and walked towards the golden basin.
