I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 34 The Hero Guan Yu
In the post house, Liu Jian and others packed their bags on the second day and prepared to continue westward to Jinyang.

When they went to the stable to pick up the horses, they found a person standing beside the stable.

The tall and straight Guan Yu stood beside the stable, like a door god, looking proudly to the east.

Although he was young, the long beard on his chin reached his chest, fluttering in the wind, showing his handsome demeanor.

Yes, it's a handsome demeanor.

The aesthetic concept of this era is quite different from that of later generations. The Han people seem to think that if a person has no hair on his mouth, he will not be able to do things well. Those who don’t grow beards are either ugly or useless. People with beautiful beards are generally more popular.

People with abdominal muscles, fair skin, high nose bridge, big eyes and double eyelids in this era can at best say that you just look like that, but you will definitely not be able to advance to the level of an idol.

Only a man with a beard on his face is worthy of being called a handsome man.

But it is also a beard, and not all beards can be called beautiful men.

In the eyes of the people of the Han Dynasty, beards are also more than infinite.

Zhang Fei's appearance is actually quite handsome, especially those big eyes, which can be said to be scary around the eyes, or he can be said to have thick eyebrows and big eyes. Station, you basically can't pick out his big problem.

But the ruin is on his face... oh no, the beard.

Although it is full of curly beards, the beard is as hard as steel needles, surrounding the jaw and cheeks, quite messy. Although it is also very majestic, it is not the most ideal beard type in the eyes of the Han people.

And the long beard on Guan Yu's face is the standard for a handsome man in the Han Dynasty.

Not only is it soft and silky, it can be hung on the chest, like a black waterfall, and it can swing with the wind, looking majestic, and the most important thing is that it is long.

But Liu Jian himself has some resistance to long beards, and he is unwilling to grow long beards. As far as this matter is concerned, he can't get along with the people of the Han Dynasty. He just doesn't like long beards.

An era has its own aesthetics, and even people of one era have different aesthetics at different ages.

Shamat washing, cutting and blowing, which was popular in the vast land of China in the past, has gradually disappeared now.

Seeing Liu Jian and others coming to the stable, Guan Yu bowed his head upright and saluted them, and then stroked his long beard from top to bottom with the tiger's mouth of his left hand, in a very cool posture.

Zhang Fei looked at Guan Yu's long beard jealously, and then subconsciously touched the beard on his chin, as if he was a little angry with himself, and then he pulled it off forcefully.

Liu Jian looked at Guan Yu standing beside the stable, and asked in confusion, "What is Mr. Guan doing here?"

Guan Yu bowed to Liu Jian and said: "A certain father died early, and when he was dying, he left the word "Changsheng" as a watchword for him. Brother can call him by his watchword."

Liu Jian smiled and changed his words to call him "Longevity".

"Eternal life is here, waiting for me on a special trip?"

Guan Yu's face straightened, and he cupped his hands and said, "Last night, I was grateful for the gift of shelter from the rain and food. Guan's return to his hometown this time is for a big event. I don't know if there will be a chance to see you in the future. I will take care of the horses for you all night as a token of my gratitude."

He actually stood here to show Liu Jian and the others a horse all night? !

Liu Bei whispered to Liu Jian: "The land of Bingzhou is close to Taihang. There are many people who steal horses and escape into the mountains. Even near the post house, there are often refugees who steal horses for a living. Even the post officials can do nothing. Guan Changsheng's move. He really does care about us.”

Liu Jian nodded suddenly.

He strode forward and said gratefully: "Changsheng is really a man of righteousness. Jian was just doing it easily last night. Why did Changsheng stand outside the stable all night? You didn't sleep well all night, did you?"

Guan Yu shook his head: "Watching horses for others, how can you say sleep, but it's all right, it's just a night, it's nothing to worry about."

"Changsheng just said that if he went home to do it, he was afraid that he would not be able to repay his kindness in the future. What did he mean?" Liu Jian changed the subject and suddenly mentioned the topic Guan Yu just said.

It's not to blame Liu Jian for his carelessness, Guan Yu's words just now seemed to reveal a hint of affection.

Guan Yu was quite hesitant and didn't want to say anything.

"It's just a small matter in the village, don't worry Brother Liu."

Liu Jian stretched out his hand and patted Guan Yu's shoulder, he was too tall, it was a bit difficult for Liu Jian to pat him on the shoulder, but he still patted it.

"Changsheng, although you and I have only known each other for just one night, Liu has always respected righteous people the most. You and I have both read the Spring and Autumn Annals, and we know that respect is the gathering of virtue. If you can respect, you must have virtue. I respect you as a person, so I will ask you "If Changsheng considers Liu Jian as a man of faith, why would he deliberately conceal it? Why not speak frankly?"

After hearing Liu Jian's words, Guan Yu showed shame.

He immediately cupped his hands and apologized: "What brother Liu said is true. Since you are an open-minded person, Guan should not have concealed some trivial matters. The truth is that Guan has returned home this time for no other reason. For murder!"

Liu Bei and Jian Yong who were on the side were quite surprised when they heard the words, but Zhang Fei was a little eager to try.

Liu Jian said to Guan Yu: "I just want to ask, why did Changsheng kill people and who did he want to kill?"

Guan Yu sighed, and immediately said slowly to Liu Jian.

The man he wants to kill, surnamed Zheng, is his fellow villager in Hedong County, and the number one rich man in Jiexian County in Hedong. .

People who have so many things, there is no doubt that they can walk sideways locally.

On weekdays, he can forcibly annex someone who has a good field, buy a girl who looks good, and take away a horse if he looks good. A story of bullying.

Very bloody, very common.

Bullying people is not a problem in this era. It happens in every county. The problem is that the son of the Zheng family is a little too outrageous!It completely exceeded the bottom line of bullying the market.

The son of the Zheng family is called Zheng Bao, and he is only sixteen or seventeen years old now, but he has been cultivated by his family members to be full of hostility.

He is not simply killing pigs and dogs, but killing people.

In the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, even though the Zhumen's wine and meat stinks and their bones are frozen to death, the laws of the Han Dynasty are still there. No matter how arrogant the nobles are, they still have some scruples when it comes to killing people.

Of course, if they really want to kill someone, they will naturally have a way to make up for it later, but the cost is too high, and ordinary people should try to avoid such things as much as possible.

But the problem is that this Zheng Bao is not afraid of causing trouble, so he is willing to kill.

And he killed, not because of hatred, but for fun.

Really kill for fun!
As for how to kill, that is to drive the bought slaves or scoundrels who have no household registration to the outskirts of the country, and then a group of villains headed by Zheng Bao rode horses and held bows, hunting deer and antelope. kill them.

After the hunt is successful, the head will be cut off to show off, and it will be used as the head of a wild beast to show off.

Proper perverted behavior.

These ordinary people in Qianshou lost their land and had no choice but to rely on the local tyrants. Many of them were concealed and became vacant households. They became real slaves of the landlord's family, doing work heavier than cattle every day. , but eat very little.

The people at the bottom can no longer be described as having a dishy face, it can be said that they have an earthy face.

But even so, the upper-class dignitaries are still not satisfied. The appearance of a pervert like Zheng Bao has caused the poor people in Jie County to fall into deeper fear.

He thoroughly transformed living people into primitive beasts.

Compared with Qin Law, the laws of the Han Dynasty are more enlightened, but they are not so enlightened that such behaviors will be condoned, unless... unless there is a big background behind them.

Coincidentally, the Zheng family in Xie County is the natal family of the official wife of the son of Cao Poshi, the younger brother of Cao Jie, Minister of Shangshuling.

A very tortuous relationship.

A brother-in-law who can't be beaten, but because of this relationship, the Zheng family and Zheng Bao can do whatever they want in Jie County.

That is to say, under such circumstances, Guan Yu, a native of Jie County in Hedong, was not happy!
