I heard Zhang Daqian to use a joke to beat boring man who ridiculed his beard. Zhang Bao and Guan Xing argued with each other. Zhang Bao said, “my father is much superior than yours. My father roared alone to beat Cao’s army.” Guan Xing retorted, “my father is greater. My father has beautiful beard.” Zhang Bao said again, “my father seized Wakou by wisdom.” Guan Xing repeated, “my father has beautiful beard.” Suddenly Guan Yu’s soul came and said angrily to his son, “you unfilial son, I killed Wen Chou and Yan Liang, murdered six generals while going through five passes, went to banquet alone bravely, all those glorious things, you referred none of them, what’s the use of only talking of the beard of your father?” The boring guy was really embarrassed and became silent.

Zhu Tong was a constable of Yuncheng, the fellow villager of Song Jiang. What’s more, he was rich and liked helping others generously, making friends with people of virtue and talent and practicing martial art at the same time.

The government was really sad to have a constable like ZhuTong. He let Zhao Gao go first, then Song Jiang, finally Lei Heng, was really incompetent to the core. I guess he should be called ‘The Lord of Release’ instead. Then again, Zhu was loyal to his friends and could risk his life to save friends, I guess he can be called a hero. In the society nowadays, being generous to help friends is rare, saying nothing of risking life. Really? Yeah!

Later he was exiled to Cangzhou because of his neglect of duty and was made a nurse to take care of the beloved son of Governer. Mountain Liang wanted Zhu Tong to join them, but Zhu wasn’t willing at all. Who is willing to be a bandit instead of law-abiding man? Zhu was really awesome and even satisfied to be a nurse to take care of child, I don’t know it’s just because the boy was cute or Zhu was simply a really good guy? Then Li Kui was ordered to kill the boy and made Zhu desperate, no other choice but to go to Mountain Liang. I guess the reason of Mountain Liang’s failure isn’t only surrender to the court, they always used dirty methods to force other people to join them, how to convince them sincerely? How could they expect to win the common people by such dirty methods? It’s just like gangdom, the court called them bandits, which wasn’t very excessive sometimes.
