Liu Manor, in a room.
There was a short and fat figure inside. He was about 40 years old and had a kind and honest face. One look and one could tell that he was a good person.
This person was Liu Zhengfeng, who was about to retire. He was looking out the window with a complicated expression and a heavy heart.
Mrs. Liu walked over and looked at him with heartache.
"You don't have to worry so much. Your health is more important. What if you tire yourself out?”
Hearing this, Liu Zhengfeng sighed.
"My relationship with Qu Yang might have already been known by others. I'm afraid that Zuo Lengchan is going to make things difficult for me.”
Although Liu Zhengfeng did not care about other people's opinions, he and Qu Yang knew each other through music and were just bosom friends. When the two of them were together, they would only discuss music.
However, as the saying went, people in the martial arts world had no choice. There were laws in the martial arts world since ancient times that could not be broken by one person.
Liu Zhengfeng had an ominous premonition. Perhaps something unsettling would happen this time.
The closer it was to the day of his retirement, the stronger Liu Zhengfeng's feeling became. His worry was beyond words.
"Master!"
At this moment, the servant of the Liu Residence shouted anxiously from outside the door.
Opening the door, Liu Zhengfeng frowned. The servant's expression was urgent, as if something important had happened.
"Why are you so flustered?"
His mood had already been affected by his retirement, and now he was even more frustrated.
Hearing this, the servant hurriedly spoke.
"There's a Jinyiwei outside. He told me to tell you that His Highness is about to arrive and he wants you to go out and welcome him!”
Liu Zhengfeng was startled when he heard this.
Wangye? Which prince?
The next moment, Liu Zhengfeng's eyes widened. He ignored the servants and returned to the house.
"Hurry up! Quickly take a bath and change your clothes. Inform the rest of the family to get ready to welcome King Ding Shan!”
Mrs. Liu was stunned for a moment before she reacted and hurriedly stepped out of the door to inform everyone.
The new King of the Mountain, Zhu Houwei, was coming!
……
Not long after, in front of the gate of the Liu residence.
Under the protection of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, Zhu Houwei's carriage steadily stopped at the entrance of the Liu Residence.
"I, Liu Zhengfeng, pay my respects to Your Highness!"
Liu Zhengfeng had already led everyone in the family to wait at the door. The moment they saw him, they knelt down to welcome him.
"Greetings, Your Highness!" The people behind him hurriedly followed and shouted.
Zhu Houwei walked out of the carriage, followed by Jiang Yuyan, Yue Lingshan, and Yi Lin.
As for Yue Buqun, who was supposed to be by the side of the carriage, he had already been ordered by Zhu Houwei to return to Mount Hua.
"Get up."
Hearing Zhu Houwei's voice, Liu Zhengfeng and the others stood up.""Thank you, Your Highness!"
"These are the concubines of His Highness, Madame Jiang, and Madame Yue."”
"Greetings to the two madams." Liu Zhengfeng and the others continued to bow.
Jiang Yuyan and Yue Lingshan were still unable to adapt to this situation and did not know what to say for a moment.
Especially Yue Lingshan. She knew Liu Zhengfeng. The Five Mountain Sword Sect was a kindred spirit, and Liu Zhengfeng could be considered her Martial Uncle.
Fortunately, Zhu Houwei's voice rang out at this time, allowing the two to avoid awkwardness.
"Bring her over."
After Zhu Houwei finished speaking, two Embroidered Uniform Guards came in front of everyone with Tian Boguang.
In order to prevent Tian Boguang from screaming, the green dragon blocked his mouth with a cloth.
"Is this the rapist Tian Boguang?”
Liu Zhengfeng was a little surprised. He recognized this rapist with the name of Solitary Wanderer.
At this moment, Tian Boguang was covered in wounds and was on the verge of death. Fortunately, he was a martial artist and could still persevere.
"We met this thief on the way and wanted to kill a disciple of the Eternal Mountain Sect. We captured him under the orders of His Highness.”
White Tiger explained the whole story.
"I thought that catching thieves and investigating cases is the duty of County Lieutenant Liu, so I brought them here.”
Hearing this.
Liu Zhengfeng finally understood. He looked at Yi Lin without batting an eyelid. He was wondering why the disciples of the Heng Mountain Sect would appear beside his highness. So that was the reason.
"Men, suppress Tian Boguang.”Liu Zhengfeng said in a deep voice. Immediately, two people came forward to take Tian Boguang away.
"Thank you for your magnanimity, Your Highness. Please enter my humble abode and rest.”
Zhu Houwei didn't say much and brought Jiang Yuyan and the others into the Liu Residence.
At this moment, on a house in the distance, a Mount Song disciple had already placed a letter into a carrier pigeon and sent out the news he saw.
……
In the Liu Residence.
Zhu Houwei sat on the main seat, looked at Liu Zhengfeng, and said,""County Officer Liu, when are you going to wash your hands of the golden basin?”
Liu Zhengfeng did not expect Zhu Houwei to pay attention to his Golden Basin Washing Hands Ceremony. He was stunned at first, then quickly responded.
"This lowly official will have to trouble your highness to worry about this matter.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Zhu Houwei's voice again.
"I heard that you have a close relationship with Qu Yang of the Demon Cult. Zuo Lengchan of Mount Song Sect wants to make an issue out of this, County Officer Liu.”
Hearing Zhu Houwei's words, Liu Zhengfeng and his wife hurriedly knelt down.
"Your highness, this lowly official and Qu Yang are only bosom friends of music, and our conversation is all about music. This lowly official is already a county captain, how could this lowly official collude with the Demon Cult to knowingly break the law?”
Zhu Houwei's words were stirring up Liu Zhengfeng's heart. He was guessing the meaning behind his highness 'words. His heart was filled with unease. If his highness was convicted of this, what should he do?
Beside him, Mrs. Liu also secretly held Liu Zhengfeng's hand tightly.
The king's anger was enough to make him suffer a thousand miles!
"This king naturally knows. Otherwise, you wouldn't be the county captain of my Ming County.”
Fortunately, Zhu Houwei's voice sounded again, making Liu Zhengfeng heave a sigh of relief. However, his back was already drenched in sweat, which showed how nervous he was just now.
Liu Zhengfeng hurriedly thanked him.”
"But Zuo Lengchan wants to frame me, so please don't take it to heart.”
Hearing this.
"Tomorrow, you will proceed as usual. As for the other matters, leave them to me." Zhu Houwei said indifferently.”
Obviously, Zhu Houwei wanted to intervene in this matter.
Liu Zhengfeng was an official of the imperial court. He, an unknown alliance leader of the five mountains, actually dared to frame an official of the imperial court. It was simply impossible!
"However, I need you to do something tomorrow.”
Liu Zhengfeng felt lucky when he heard that his highness did not blame him. Now that he was facing his highness 'instructions, he was even more serious. He immediately looked at Zhu Houwei with a serious expression.
"Your Highness, please speak. As long as it is within my ability, I will do my best!”
