But said Guan Xu, the word Changsheng, Hedong County Xie Liang (now Xie Zhou Town, Yuncheng, Shanxi) people, ancestors were scholars, to the grandfather, the family road is scattered. Grandfather was interrogated, and when he asked the word, he went to Zhongtiao Mountain to work and fell to his death in the mountains. Father Guan Yi, the word is far away, buried Guan Xu's grandfather in Zhongtiao Mountain, and then took his wife and son to Xie Liang City to sell tofu for a living. The parents got up early and worked tirelessly, and when their days improved slightly, they sent the children Guan Xu to Mr. Hu's house to study. Guan Xu passed through Wulidui on his way home from school, and always liked to stay in front of the blacksmith Han Shouyi's shop to watch, and was quite interested in the action of flipping the hammer. When he was a little older, he learned to strike iron with Han Shouyi as his teacher. Han Shouyi has only one daughter, and he has already promised to marry someone as his wife, so he is afraid that his skills will be lost, so he will teach the iron-making skills to Guan Xu without reservation. From then on, Guan Xu studied at Mr. Hu during the day, and worked at Han Shouyi's blacksmith shop at night, and when he was eighteen or nineteen years old, Mr. Hu married his daughter Hu Yue to him. A merchant surnamed Cai in the city of Xie Liang saw that he was burly and strong, and that he had a bold temperament and was righteous and trustworthy, so he hired him to escort the goods for him. After another two years, Guan Xu couldn't bear to see his parents so tired, so he didn't let his father sell tofu anymore, and he struck iron at Han Shouyi's place during the day, and escorted goods for the surnamed Cai at night to support his family.

That night, he escorted the salt horse convoy to the bank of the Yellow River, and when he returned after the handover, when the day was over, Guan Xu turned a few pages of "Spring and Autumn", and had no intention of reading it carefully, remembering that the man who used his family wealth to change officials with money was so greedy and stingy that the official was really hateful, and he was bored, so he fell asleep.

When he woke up, it was past noon, Guan Xu hurriedly turned over and got up, and rushed to the Wulidui blacksmith shop. As soon as Han Shouyi saw Guan Xu coming: "Since you escorted the goods, I have pondered and built a sword for you to defend yourself." I can't find good iron. Yesterday, I got one iron, three catties and three taels, which is just right for your body weight. What do you think? ”

Guan Xu looked at the piece of ferro-tungsten carefully and couldn't help but be overjoyed. Han Shouyi measured Guan Xu's height and arm length again, drew a figure, marked the size, and Guan Xu made some modifications according to his feelings. The master and apprentice began to build according to the drawing. After 7749 days of tempering, a sword weighing three catties and three taels, three feet and three inches long, tungsten bright and bright, and extremely sharp was created. Guan Xu got this sword, like a tiger with wings, love very much, inseparable, and wear it for life. This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

Besides, Fan Tong rode his horse to Hedong County and submitted a letter to the county guard. The county guard saw it and said that the current county commander's term of office was still a few months, and Fan Tong was told to either go home or rent a house to live, and then take over after his term of office expired. Fan Tong pondered: I don't know how much money I will receive less money after waiting for a month, and the loss is too big. So he asked a county official how to take over as soon as possible. The county officials told him that in order to increase the income from official transactions, it was common for the court and the central government to let it go in advance, and it was not surprising. There are rules, there are countermeasures, and there are local rules. Fan Tong asked what the rules were. But the magistrate said, "There is no good, why do I say?" After Fan Tong took out the money and handed it to him, he said that if the new official wanted to take over as soon as possible, he should bribe his subordinates, pay a "transfer pay", and then negotiate with his predecessor to mediate. Fan Tong said that the money he brought was almost spent during the transaction, and there was not much left. The county official said that it was okay, but he could first pay off the debt, and after half a year in office, he would pay it off with interest. Fan Tong had no other way, so he had to follow what the county official said, sign and draw on the deed note, carry the official document of Hedong County, and send the superintendent to Xie Liang with the county guard to take over the county order.

The county order Lu Yang, the word Huaide, a native of Hejian in Jizhou, because the county order was bought with money, began to loot as soon as he took office. First, they posted notices to encourage the people to "redress grievances, sue for revenge, and make their own decisions in their own counties." Lu Yang ascended to the court and tried the plaintiff and the defendant separately. The plaintiff was reasonable, so he said to him that if he paid a certain amount of money, he would sentence the defendant heavily, and the plaintiff thought to himself, spending some money to win the lawsuit, but he would be happy; The defendant was unreasonable, so he told him that if he paid a certain amount of money, he would be spared imprisonment, and it was also cost-effective for the defendant to think about it, spend money, and avoid prison. Lu Yang ate the plaintiff and the defendant, and when both parties paid the money, he summoned the original defendant to the court, and said in a high-sounding manner: "It is better to settle the grievances than to settle them, and to make money in harmony", and then closed the case. After a long time, "unjust death without complaining, surrender to death without reporting to the official" spread among the local people. Seeing that the income from the judgment of the case was decreasing, Lu Yang took the county officials and officials to the township to loot wantonly, and the money obtained was all in his own pocket, and the cattle, horses, pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, etc. were temporarily put in prison for raising, and then asked the officials to sell them in the market.

On this day, Lu Yang had just returned from the township, and the county official reported that the post supervisor had arrived for a long time, and the county lieutenant was waiting at the pavilion with him. Lu Yang hurried to the pavilion, saw the south of the post supervisor sitting high, and hurriedly saluted. The superintendent explained the reason and asked Fan Tong to give Lu Yang the official document of his appointment.

Lu Yang read the official document, his face was angry, and he also took out his own appointment letter: "The term of office is clearly stated, and there are still a few months before the term of office, how can it be handed over?" ”

Fan Tong was extremely angry and pointed to his posthumous message: "It is clearly written 'on the same day', how can it be justified not to pay?" ”

The superintendent saw that the two were talking and arguing, and they didn't let each other go, and thought in his heart: Fan Tong paid the "transfer fee", and Taishou promised to take over on the same day, if he failed to take over, Taishou would definitely blame; Lu Yang's term of office is still a few months, and he usually has a lot of filial piety to himself, so it seems inappropriate to force him to take over. After thinking about it, you finally get a way. So he withdrew from the others, leaving only Lu Yang and Fan Tong: "The two county orders don't have to argue, in my opinion, it's better to hand them over for one day, one day for Lu County, two days for Fan County, and every day for half a year." In this way, the Fan County Order can be regarded as taking over on the same day, and the Lu County Order will be handed over at the expiration of the term. ”

The two listened and made their own calculations. Lu Yang thought about it, searched for one day in a single day, vacated two days, and just sold the property he took, half a year is equivalent to a month, but it is not a loss; Fan Tong felt that he had just taken over and had no experience in doing things, so he peeked at what Lu Yang did in a single day, and followed suit in two days, which would get twice the result with half the effort. In this way, under the mediation of the superintendent, the two sides agreed to take turns to take charge of county affairs one day at a time.

On the first day of the new year, Lu Yang was in charge. The cowherd's hall in the city said that Zhang San rented ploughing cattle in the countryside for a period of three days. In less than two days, a dead cow was returned, and he demanded to make up three days' rent and compensate for a live cow. Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty established the Eastern Han Dynasty and took many measures to promote agricultural development. At that time, the use of ploughing cattle for ploughing was common, and the law stipulated that the slaughter of one's own or others' ploughing cattle was a severe punishment and could not be pardoned. The letter of the law is dead, but the method of handling the case is alive. When Lu Yang saw that there was a lawsuit for cultivating cattle, he was secretly happy in his heart, so he asked the cowherd: "What is the evidence for renting a cultivated cattle?" "The cowherd presented the lease deed. Lu Yang asked again: "Where is the dead cow?" Are there any witnesses? The cowherd replied, "The dead cow was sold to the butcher Li Si, who can be a witness." Lu Yang called the cowherd to wait for trial, and at the same time, he asked the officials to bring Zhang San and Li Siyi to the court.

First mention Zhang San to the hall. Lu Yang asked: "Kneel down Zhang San, the cowherd sued you for renting his cattle, is there anything wrong?" Zhang San replied yes. Lu Yang asked again: "If you rent it for three days, why do you pay it back in two days?" Zhang Sanjing said that it was an old cow, from morning to night, first pulling the plow, then pulling the palladium, less than two days, the cow was exhausted to death, and the dead cow was returned to the cowherd. Lu Yang asked again: "It is said that he is tired to death, what evidence is there?" Zhang San said that if there is no slaughter mark on the cattle carcass, it is exhaustion and death.

Lu Yang was shocked: "Be bold and make a denial of the people." Cattle have been turned into meat and eaten, where can the carcass of cattle come from? Besides, whether it is without a knife, strangulation, or stoned to death, it is all massacre. The slaughter of ploughing cattle is the worst crime. ”

Zhang San hurriedly begged for mercy and expressed his willingness to compensate. Lu Yang said: "Buy a live cow, I will hand over the cowherd, and I will say it in good words to calm his anger; Buy another ox and hand it over to the government to atone for your sins. In order to avoid prison, Zhang San had to agree. Lu Yang asked the official to lead Zhang San to the prison to pick two live cows, and let them go home after paying the price according to the marked price. Zhang San spent money to buy two live cows, but he returned empty-handed.

Mention Li Si to the hall again. Lu Yang asked: "Kneel down Li Si, the cowherd sued you for slaughtering his cattle, is there anything wrong?" Li Si replied that he was buying cowherds and dead cows. Lu Yang asked again: "Why did the cow die?" Li Sijing said that he didn't know. Lu Yang asked again: "Where is the dead cow now?" Li Si said that he had been skinned and deboned, and the meat had been sold out.

Lu Yang was shocked: "Be bold and make a denial of the people." Dead cattle and live cattle are all ploughing cattle. Since he is engaged in slaughtering, he must have slaughtered a lot of cattle, and when I find out, the death penalty is inevitable. Li Si hurriedly begged for mercy, saying that it was only this once, and expressed his willingness to compensate. Lu Yang then said: "Buy a live cow, I will hand over the cowherd, good words, will not be investigated; Buy another ox and hand it over to the government to atone for your sins. Li Si was afraid of reviewing the previous killing of cattle and horses, so he had to agree. Lu Yang sold him two fat pigs on the pretext of helping him develop his business, and Li Si readily agreed. Lu Yang asked the official to lead Li Si to the prison to pick two live cows and two fat pigs, and let him go home after paying the price tag. Li Si spent money to buy two live cows and two fat pigs, but he only led two fat pigs back.

Then summon the cowherd to the church. Lu Yang said: "The plaintiff is a cowherd, and the defendant has already pleaded guilty to the law and has been severely punished. You have won this lawsuit, and you have sold the cattle to the butcher to slaughter, and you have received the cattle money, which is regarded as compensation. However, according to the laws of the dynasty, it is a crime to slaughter one's own cattle or those of others, and it is inevitable to join a butcher to slaughter one's own cattle. The cowherd hurriedly begged for mercy and said that he would not pursue compensation. Lu Yang said: "Buy four cows, one can replenish the herd, and the other can avoid prison." The cowherd knew that the price of the ox must be higher than the market price, but in order to avoid prison, he had to agree. Lu Yang then asked the official to lead the cowherd to the prison and sold the four cows that Zhang San and Li Si had already paid to the cowherd at a price thirty percent higher than the list price. The cowherd led the four cows he had bought at a high price and returned home.

On the second day of the second month of the following month, Fan Tong signed the matter. Fan Tong originally wanted to peek at Lu Yang's behavior and draw a scoop based on the gourd, in order to make up for the lack of experience in acting and make up for the effect of twice the result with half the effort. Who knew that a month had passed, and there were very few people who came to the court to complain about grievances, and there was no lawsuit, so there were no plaintiffs and defendants to eat. Going to the countryside to search is like sifting, over and over again, and it can only be a goose plucking. The poor people are poor, and most of them have become the tribes and tenants of the Haoqiang clan, and they have no hair to pluck; The Haoqiang clan, relying on power and triviality, refused to pay even the taxes they paid, and even resisted them by force, and did not pull out a dime. Fan Tong is in a hurry, not only is there no hope of making a fortune in the long run, but even the capital is difficult to recover. It was the night he crossed the river that he encountered a salt merchant ship transporting smuggled salt, which inspired him. Xie Liang is the majority of people who do business and transport commercial goods, and if they increase exploitation, the benefits will definitely be not thin. Fan Tong made up his mind to secretly inspect the shops in the city in a single day and register them. On the second day, during the day, with seals and notices, leading the officials, shop by shop along the street from the original 15 taxes to 15 taxes and two to collect taxes and fees, if there is no cash, do not say that they will pull goods; At night, checkpoints were set up at the four gates of the city, patrolled along the river, seized the illegal salt, and stored the commercial goods and the seized illegal salt in the prison in charge of the city, and sold them in a single day.

Another pair of days, Fan Tong came to the county government early in the morning, and when the team leader finished ordering, he was about to take the officials to the street to collect taxes and fees, and suddenly reported a person in front of the government to cry out for grievances. Fan Tong thought to himself: Since taking office, few people have sued, and if this lawsuit is very oily, even if it is tried. and called for summoning those who cried out for injustice. When the man came to the church, he did not bow down, but handed over a letter to Fan Tong. Fan Tong read the letter, which was written by the post office of the governor of Hedong County. This man is the wife and brother of the superintendent, and he does not dare to slack off, and asks what is the matter? The wife and brother of the post supervisor said that Han Shouyi, a blacksmith in Wulidui, had a daughter, who was quite attractive, so he went to propose. However, Han Shouyi refused on the grounds that his daughter had a marriage contract. Not long ago, the wife and brother of the post supervisor led the family to the blacksmith shop, wanting to marry strongly, but Han Shouyi had an apprentice who was infinitely powerful and strong in martial arts, and the family was injured. The wife and brother of the superintendent found the superintendent, and the superintendent wrote a letter asking the government to make decisions for him.

Fan Tongxin beat the side drum: supervising the postal commission, it is difficult to ask for benefits, so he said: "I just took over, and my life is strange." Tomorrow, Lu County will order the office, and you can entrust it to handle it. Hearing this, the wife and brother of the post supervisor said anxiously, and he had heard it clearly, Han Shouyi would marry his daughter at noon today, and wait until tomorrow, when the raw rice was ripe. Seeing that Fan Tong was still hesitating, the wife and brother of the superintendent immediately promised that when the matter was completed, he should be rewarded with a heavy amount of money.

When Fan Tong heard this, he vaguely said: "I want you to come over early in the morning, how much can you bring money?" Speaking of Xie Jin, I'm really embarrassed. The wife and brother of the superintendent immediately understood, saying that they were thanking each other for one year with the rank of county-level official, and now they are writing the arrears. After Fan Tong and the wife and brother of the post supervisor wrote the arrears and signed and drew the post, he led the officials to rush to Wulidui with the wife and brother of the post superintendent.

It was nearly noon, and the welcoming team had arrived, and Han Shouyi and the neighbors who came to congratulate were busy entertaining. Just as the bridesmaids helped Han Shouyi's daughter onto the horse and was about to get married, a group of officials flocked to the party, and they couldn't help but say that they drove the wedding team with sticks. When the wife and brother of the post supervisor saw the bride on the horse, they hurried forward and dragged him off the horse. Han Shouyi's daughter struggled desperately to get free, ran back to the store, and died headbutting against the anvil.

Han Shouyi saw that his daughter hit the anvil and died, so he picked up the hammer and gritted his teeth and pounced on the wife and brother of the postmaster. A group of officials stepped forward to stop them, and the wife and brother of the superintendent took the opportunity to get up and ran desperately to the county office. Han Shouyi wanted to chase after him, but he was surrounded by a group of stick-wielding servants. Although Han Shouyi has a lot of arm strength in iron and bone refining, how can he be invincible with one punch, and he has already been knocked to the ground by a group of young and strong officials, and his head is bleeding. At this time, I suddenly heard a loud shout like a bell: "Hugh has to hurt my master." ”

Han Shouyi saw that it was his apprentice Guan Xu, pointed to the shop, and waved his hand again and again. Guan Xu was willing to rest, rushed forward, punched and kicked. The officials saw that they were not opponents, so they fled in all directions. Guan Xu didn't chase after him, and carried Han Shouyi back to the store. Han Shouyi was already weak, and he told what happened intermittently, shouting "revenge" and dying. The neighbors gathered around, all of them filled with righteous indignation: "The powerful and inferior gentry bully men and women, and the corrupt officials exploit the people, so dark, when will it be." There is no way to survive horizontally and vertically, so it is better to gather, kill the corrupt officials, rob the property of the rich and powerful, and then occupy the mountains and forests, and end up happy. One year the elder said: "Hugh is talking nonsense, this is the crime of gathering a crowd to rebel, and there will be a disaster of raiding the house and destroying the door, and it must not be done." ”

Guan Xu said: "Rebellion is categorical, but revenge must be avenged." It is imperative to enlist the help of the neighbors and bury the deceased first. As soon as everyone heard this, they got busy, changed the happy event to the funeral, and put Han Shouyi's father and daughter in coffins and buried them in the ground. Guan Xu summoned a cargo partner and ordered him to go to the shore to find the ship's Zhou family father and son, and let them wait there.

After the incident, Guan Xu thanked the neighbors: "Revenge for the master, the apprentice will bear it." Please reply individually. When everyone dispersed, Guan Xu returned to his house and asked his wife Hu Yue to help his parents clean up some furniture. In the evening, he took his parents and wife to the bank of the Yellow River, and saw that the father and son of the Zhou family were waiting here, so he helped his parents and wife to get on the boat, and then handed a letter to Uncle Zhou, asking him to hand it over to the salt merchant, who would settle down properly, and instructed his wife to take good care of her parents.

Waiting for the ship to leave the shore, Guan Xu knelt on the ground, looked at the heart of the river and kowtowed, and said: "Forgive my son for being unfilial, and send my parents away from their hometown and farewell to the well." How can the child promise the master, not to take revenge on the teacher, to be a disciple in vain, unrighteous and unbelieving, how can he stand up? Killing violence and eliminating evil will inevitably affect parents. caused the parents to suffer calamity, and was in vain as the son of man. If you are not filial, you will be loyal, if you are not loyal or filial, how can you be a human being? Today, for the time being, each side of the day, when the children's achievements and ambitions are displayed, the feudal marquis will be willing to realize, and the ancestors will be glorified. He stood up and rushed back to Xie Liang overnight. Guan Xu didn't expect that he would say goodbye to his parents and wife, but he would say goodbye for life.

Guan Xu sneaked into the house of the superintendent's wife and brother with a sword, but several family members blocked him and were killed by Guan Xu, only one of them survived and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. Guan Xu mentioned his rear leader, forced him to lead the way, and came to the house of the superintendent's wife and brother, and pointed his sword at his heart: "Robbing the people's daughters, forcing people to die, and there is more than enough to die." After that, he pushed the sword hard, and his wife and brother died when he boarded. The family exclaimed, turned around and ran. Guan Xu drew his sword and threw it back, hitting the back. Guan Xu rushed forward and drew his sword.

Guan Xu came to the county government with a sword, when he was already a son, the gate was closed, he climbed over the wall and entered, went to the post house, saw that the two county orders were handing over the seals, and shouted: "One day to take turns to pass the county order, an ancient miracle, when it will be handed down to future generations." Extinct today, no more. As he spoke, he swung his sword and stabbed straight at a time, one sword at a time, and as a result, the lives of the two county commanders who took turns were killed. Then cut off the heads of the two people, tied the ribbon in the middle with a bun, placed the ribbon and a head on one side in the middle of the public case, dipped the sword in the blood, and wrote on the wall: One day harms the people, and the corrupt officials should be killed.

When Guan Xu returned home, he went to the empty house, suddenly felt sad, returned to his room, put his beloved book "Spring and Autumn" into his arms, simply set fire to his house, and ran to Zhongtiao Mountain overnight.

The next day, the county officials, the county officials, and the three classes of officials arrived at the ya, and when they saw this, they were shocked and hurriedly reported to the Taishou of Hedong, who drew pictures and pictures themselves, and told all prefectures, counties and counties to arrest the murderers. When the superintendent heard that his wife and brother had been killed, he volunteered and led the officers and soldiers to Xie Liang to post examples everywhere to arrest Guan Xu.

Let's say that Guan Xu came to Zhongtiao Mountain, it was noon, found his grandfather's tomb, cut down a tree, scraped off the bark, carved a wooden tablet with a sword, and stood next to the grave as a mark. Guan Xu went down the mountain in the evening, crossed the Yellow River, and died in a foreign land. Since then, Guan Xu changed his name to Guan Yu, changed the word Yunchang, and mixed the rivers and lakes. Wander the world. Exactly: righteousness and trustworthiness to eliminate evil and violence, change the name and change the word to the end of the world. If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
