Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 83 The disaster of annihilation
He didn't even have time to eat breakfast, and hurried to the homes of several blacksmiths, where he communicated his situation, requirements and ideas with them in detail for a long time. Several people patted their chests and said that they would definitely create a peerless weapon. Only then did Liu He return with satisfaction.

On the way home, Liu He was imagining how he would wield that magical weapon and kill the enemies and make meritorious deeds, so he didn't pay much attention to the situation on the road.

Just when he walked to an intersection, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a dark shadow beside him. He instinctively dodged it. Otherwise, if he really bumped into the person opposite him, the person would definitely be knocked down by his sturdy body.

"Oh, I almost got into trouble, sir...eh? Shopkeeper Xu?"

Liu He never expected that he would meet an old acquaintance here, Manager Xu of Huaian Hall in the county town.

Last year, Liu Qian went to the county town to invite the retired shopkeeper Xu to come to Huangshui Township to take charge of the planting and cultivation of medicinal herbs.

Shopkeeper Xu was very interested, but his wife felt that after working hard for half her life, she finally had a house in the county town to enjoy her old age. She was unwilling to go back to the countryside to suffer.

Liu Qian didn't want to destroy the relationship between the couple, so he had to give up.

So at this time, when Liu He saw Manager Xu coming, he was undoubtedly very surprised, but the difference between him and Manager Xu was that when Manager Xu saw Liu He, he felt like he saw a savior.

"Oh, my dear nephew... I finally found you..."

Shopkeeper Xu burst into tears and grabbed Liu He, leaving Liu He at a loss as to what to do.

"This... Shopkeeper Xu, what are you doing?"

Various expressions such as resentment, helplessness, and hatred appeared on Manager Xu's face. Liu He's heart skipped a beat, knowing that something big might have happened. He quickly took Manager Xu to his home and asked Zhang Yu to call back Liu Qian, Guan Yu and other brothers.

When several people saw Manager Xu like this, they were very curious and asked with concern what serious matter had happened.

When Shopkeeper Xu calmed down a little and started to tell the story slowly, everyone was immediately filled with boundless anger after listening to it!
It turned out that Manager Xu had a pair of children. The eldest son was thirty-four years old and named Xu Ne. Like his father, he was the manager of another drugstore. He originally had a harmonious family and a happy life.

Xu Ne was a kind person, but he had only one hobby, which was calligraphy. Although his level was average, he had great respect for the works of contemporary famous calligraphers. Once he had the chance, he would buy a masterpiece of a famous person even if it meant spending all his money, just for this.

Not long ago, he accidentally saw a work by Cai Yong, a great calligrapher of the time. It was said that Cai Zhonglang was framed and falsely accused by Wang Zhi, the prefect of Wuyuan, a few years ago, and he went to Wuhui to avoid disaster. He was inspired to paint this work on the way. When Xu Ne saw it, he was very happy and prepared to raise money to buy it.

Originally, although this move was a bit of a waste for Manager Xu's family, everyone was used to it, so the two elders and their daughter-in-law didn't say anything.

But the bad thing is, someone else also liked this work.

Xu Ne finally saw a painting he had always dreamed of, so how could he let it go? But the man was also determined to get it, so the two of them started arguing over it.

But that man was no ordinary person. He was the nephew of the county magistrate of the neighboring Yu County, named Gao Mian. He bought the calligraphy and painting not because he liked it himself, but to use it to bribe the Jinyang County magistrate who also liked calligraphy and painting, so as to use it as a qualification for his own advancement.

But as the saying goes, "Money cannot buy what one loves", Xu Ne's love for calligraphy and painting was almost obsessive. Besides, the magistrate of Yu County had no control over his own Langdiao County, so he insisted on not giving in.

After hearing this, Liu He and others almost understood.

"I guess your son finally won Cai Zhonglang's work, but he also offended the county magistrate's nephew, and was asked for it afterwards. But why did you find us about this? We are all white people."

Shopkeeper Xu wiped his tears and waved his hands helplessly. "If it were that simple, it would be fine. If that person just wanted the calligraphy, we would just give it to him. But...but...but that person is so vicious that he secretly brought people to burn down my house last night! My wife and children were all buried in the fire...Only an old guy like me was able to escape because I took my twelve-year-old grandson out for a walk and came home late!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this!

"What? For a mere copybook, that person was so vicious!"

Shopkeeper Xu nodded helplessly, and Guan Yu and others were immediately angry!

"What evil villains! Our great Han Empire has been ruined by these evil villains! My dear brothers, are you willing to follow me and get rid of these beasts?"

"I'd like to follow my second brother to eliminate the thieves!"

However, Zhang Yong waved his hand and pulled everyone back.

"Hey, why are you in such a hurry? Big Brother hasn't spoken yet. Get rid of the thief, get rid of the thief. Do you know where the man is now? Let's listen to what Shopkeeper Xu has to say first."

The few of them returned to their seats, and Shopkeeper Xu calmed down.

"That man is the nephew of the county magistrate after all. He must have had someone to back him up to do such a crime. I dare not ask a few heroes to avenge me. I only ask that you take me and my grandson in and let me raise him to adulthood. I will thank you very much... As for revenge, I dare not even think about it..."

At this point, Shopkeeper Xu looked sad and lonely, and Liu Qian couldn't help but step forward to comfort him.

Guan Yu and others were so angry that they looked at Liu He, waiting for him to speak.

Liu He was also very angry about this, but he also knew that he couldn't be rash about it.

"Mr. Xu, may I ask how you know that the person who set the fire was the nephew of the county magistrate?"

"Ah, it's even more hateful when I say this! That man set fire to my house, not only killing my whole family, but he also spread the word that this is the fate of those who oppose him. After I learned about this, I could only temporarily leave my grandson in the home of a reliable friend and quietly leave the city. Only then did I have the chance to meet you all!"

These words made Zhu Ye and others even more angry. They killed people and even spread the news everywhere. They simply disregarded the law!

"It is really annoying that the imperial court is so incompetent!"

Cheng Liang already had many complaints against the court, and now he was even more furious. In his rage, he couldn't help but break the small table beside him with one palm.

Liu He now understood the matter clearly.

"Alas, I only knew from historical records how dark the late Eastern Han Dynasty was before, but today I saw with my own eyes that it had reached such a point. No wonder the Yellow Turbans were rampant three years later and the whole world was shaken."

Liu He comforted Manager Xu for a while, then stood up with a serious face. Knowing that he was about to make a decision and give an order, the others quickly stood up as well.

Some book friends have pointed out that Cheng Liang's command is ten points higher than Guan Yu's, which is unreasonable. This is indeed something that Shenmao has not considered before. Cheng Sanye's command has been comprehensively lowered. From the basic level of more than 50, it has been raised to more than 60, and now the basic level of more than 30 has been raised to more than 40. The attributes have been lowered, but according to the system rules, the points obtained are still the same.
