After the cause of the incident spread, people all whispered and pointed at Zheng Tu who was lying on the ground.

Zheng Tu's family, originally the people who later migrated to Guanjia Village, Zheng Tu relied on his strength and good management, and opened a butcher shop here, and the business was not bad.

But Zheng Tu is arrogant and domineering, and there are not a few people who have offended. He belongs to the kind of hob meat, and the great law is never violated, but he often has quarrels and conflicts with people.

Zheng Tu's interpersonal relationship in Guanjia Village is not good, plus they are outsiders, and Guan Wu is a stick boy who everyone has looked up to since childhood.

Therefore, after learning that Guan Wu had such a hidden secret in killing, everyone's emotions were biased towards Guan Wu.

Zheng Tu's mother was very dissatisfied when she saw everyone pointing out her son like this.

She shouted hoarsely: "You people, who bullied our orphans and widows, are outsiders, and you are all on the side of the murderer, and you are accomplices. ”

"I'm going to sue the official, I'm going to sue you, and the government will definitely give my mother and son justice!"

Mother Zheng's words made everyone's faces even more gloomy. Even those who originally thought that Zheng Tu would not die were a little biased towards Guan Wu.

Guan Ping was also stunned, he only knew that Guan Wu's father died half a year ago, but he didn't know that there were such twists and turns in it.

At the beginning, Guan Wu's father was seriously ill, and he also went to visit, but Guan Wu's father was silent about this matter.

However, looking back now, Guan Ping remembered that Guan Wu's father at that time was indeed a little depressed. It's just that Guan Ping thought he missed his son, so he didn't think much about it.

Later, Guan Wu's father died of illness, and Guan Ping had already buried him with the help of everyone in the village.

Zheng Tu's words of insulting Guan Wu's father were actually not very intense. It's just that Guan Wu's father was originally a sensitive person, plus he was sick and missed his son, so he died.

If you really want to calculate it, his death does have a little to do with Zheng Tu.

In other words, this matter can actually be said to be big or small. Even though Zheng Tu's words were quite disrespectful, he did not have a physical conflict with Guan Wu's father.

Guan Wu's father couldn't think about it himself, and he missed his son and died depressed. Although Zheng Tu should bear some responsibility, according to the law, he is not guilty of death.

Guan Wu, as a son of man, returned home and heard the sad news of his father's death, and immediately became grief-stricken. It was only then that he remembered the phrase 'parents are here, not far away'.

Guan Wu blamed himself, he felt that if he hadn't traveled, his father would not have died.

Later, Guan Wu inadvertently heard from others that when his father was seriously ill, he once went to Zheng Tu to buy pork, but instead of buying it, he was humiliated by Zheng Tu, and then died of depression within a few days of returning home.

Guan Wu has always known that his father is a person with strong self-esteem, and he is seriously ill. If he was really humiliated by Zheng Tu at that time, he was likely to get sicker and sicker.

Fortunately, Guan Wu had also seen the world outside, and did not arbitrarily go to seek revenge on Zheng Tu, but began to visit secretly.

After repeated inquiries, Guan Wu was sure that Zheng Tu had indeed humiliated his father on top of words. And his father was indeed humiliated by Zheng Tu and died not long after.

Knowing the hidden secret, Guan Wu suddenly became angry, and he went to Zheng Tu to seek revenge.

But he didn't want to, Zheng Tu was just an unintentional move. He didn't expect that he scolded Guan Wu's father, and it wouldn't be long before Guan's father died, and Zheng Tu was a little panicked in his heart.

Fortunately, his matter did not happen to the east window, so he gradually forgot about it and continued to open the door to do business.

However, when Guan Wu returned to his hometown some time ago and began to inquire about his father, Zheng Tu's heart suddenly became upset and up. Because he knows that Guan Wu is not a master to be messed with.

At the beginning, Zheng Tu often offended people in the township, and Guan Wu secretly taught Zheng Tu a lesson, but Zheng Tu didn't dare to speak out at that time, but he also held a grudge.

This is also why he humiliated Guan Wu's father in the first place.

Since he knew that Guan Wu was inquiring about the events of the day, even though Zheng Tu did not do anything out of the ordinary, he was also a little worried, afraid that Guan Wu would come to seek revenge. With heart disease, Zheng Tu, who has always been healthy, can't afford to get sick.

Guan Wu originally went to Zheng Tu to seek revenge, but when he saw that he was seriously ill, he secretly thought in his heart: "I advocate chivalrous demeanor, although Zheng Tu is hateful, but now he is in poor health." If I kill him now, will I not take advantage of the danger of others? ”

Thinking of this, Guan Wu went to Zheng Tu's house, but he seemed a little anticlimactic, and retreated without doing anything.

Zheng Tu originally thought that Guan Wu would beat him up, but he didn't expect that nothing happened. As a result, Zheng Tu's heart disease was gone, and his condition improved in an instant.

After another two days, Zheng Tu's body had fully recovered, so he came out again to set up a stall to sell meat.

Guan Wu saw that Zheng Tu had recovered, and he could no longer suppress the hatred in his heart, so he immediately took the big knife and wanted to kill Zheng Tu to take revenge. This is what happened today, Guan Wudang Street killed people, and Zheng Tu's blood splashed pork stall.

With the disclosure of the villagers, you have pieced together all the causes and consequences of the incident. After Guan Yu heard about this young man's deeds, he couldn't help but secretly admire.

Whether Guan Wu avenged his father, or did not take advantage of Zheng Tu's serious illness, it is very in line with the moral concept of this era.

The heroes of the Han Dynasty were forbidden to use martial arts, and with their own blood and morality, sometimes they would gain great fame by killing people. Even, there are many wealthy families who respect the integrity of these people and specialize in hiding such characters.

In particular, because others insult their teachers, parents, and elders, and kill people in anger, they can not only be praised by others, but sometimes they can also be pardoned by the law.

Because the Han Dynasty paid attention to filial piety, although they committed murder, their original intention was also for filial piety. Therefore, whether it is a moral level or a legal sentence, the sentence will sometimes be commuted as appropriate.

Even, the "White Tiger Tongyi" that was once cultivated by the official of Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty has such a record: The son has to avenge his father, and the courtier is the king's father, and his righteousness is one. Loyal ministers and filial sons can't be taken away, and they can't be taken away with kindness.

Here, the 'filial son' and 'loyal minister' are directly equated, which is equivalent to legally recognizing this kind of 'chivalrous' revenge. This is why there is a saying in later generations that 'loyal ministers come from after filial piety'.

This method of revenge not only has moral recognition, but even legal protection, which makes the Han Dynasty 'chivalrous' style flourish.

Guan Yu killed the local evil heroes at that time, and he was not affected by this atmosphere.

Even Chen Xu, who traveled to this era, and Dian Wei, the general under his command, were all influenced by this atmosphere, and before the incident, they became part of the 'chivalry' in the late Han Dynasty.

Whether it was Wen Zhao who killed Zhang Qi's family in anger at that time and died in the world; Or Dian Wei killed people for his friends and hid in the mountains and forests. Their actions were in line with the social atmosphere of the time and people's moral concepts.

It can be said that this kind of atmosphere and spirit have almost been integrated into the bones of the people of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, after Guan Yu heard the ins and outs of the matter, he would be impressed by Guan Wu and praised him.

Li Kui looked at Guan Wu with complicated eyes and said, "Although you have some hardships, you can't violate the laws of the government. If everyone is like you, killing people with impunity, how can the government ensure stability under its rule? ”

"Since you have done this kind of thing, I will naturally arrest you in the county government and listen to Hou Mingting's trial."

Zheng Tu was wrong for insulting Guan Wu's father, but he did not commit the crime to death; Guan Ping killed his father and won people's admiration, after all, he broke the law. Between the two, which is right and which is wrong?

(Guan Wu in this chapter is actually based on Xu Zhong in Lao Zhao's pen.) It's just that Xu Zhong is a supporting role in Lao Zhao's book, but I am a trick. Lao Zhao is to show Xu Zhong's chivalrous spirit, but I am to discuss morality and law. Although the chivalrous spirit is commendable, it is not conducive to the legal system after all. ）
