Zhai Zhu

My grandfather is very eccentric, performing daily rituals of offering incense to himself, standing in front of his own spirit tablet and eating candles.
Villagers are fearful of my grandfather.
I am fearful of him too.
Later, I discovered that what they were afraid of was not my grandfather, but me.
Even grandfather is afraid of me.
...
My name is Chen Shi.
The Chen of honesty, the Shi of sincerity.

Above the Great Dao

After Chen Shi and Li Tianqing left, Qingzhou descended into chaos for a while. Some people tried to seize the opportunity to become power brokers, bullying men and women, and occupying land, but soon someone pretending to be a Red Horse bandit killed that person.


Then, the tales of the Red Horse bandits spread across Qingzhou; people in both the cities and the countryside discussed that the Red Horse bandits had appeared somewhere, taking down some tyrant.


For a time, Qingzhou actually stabilized.


On the second day of the lunar new year, a messenger from the Li Family hurried to Qingzhou and found out that officials such as the governor, the Director of Salt Affairs, and the Commander in Chief had been killed, the government office had been set on fire, and yet, the people lived in peace and contentment, even better than when those officials were in charge.
