Linggong immediately said, "I've learned it. I must change it." Shiji was very happy to say to him: "who has no fault? If we can change the past, we can do nothing good. " Unfortunately, Jin linggong had no faith in his words, and his cruelty remained the same. Finally, he was assassinated by his subordinates.

During the period of the Three Kingdoms, ZhouChu was regarded by the village as the three evils of Dajiao and baiehu. After killing Jiaohu, ZhouChu learned that he was the most worried by the village, so he found Lu Yun and decided to reform and eventually become a loyal minister! When Zhou Chu was young, he was fierce and chivalrous, which was suffered by the village. In Yixing, there are Jiaos in the water and white headed tigers in the mountains, all of which violate the common people. Yixing people are called SANHENG, and chuyou opera. In other words, there is only one of the three horizontal rivers in Hebei. At that time, he assassinated the tiger and attacked the Jiao in the water. Jiao or floating or not, line dozens of miles, place with it. After three days and three nights, all the people in the village are dead, and they celebrate each other. When they heard that the people in the village were celebrating each other, they realized that they were suffering from human feelings, and they had the intention to change themselves. I went to Wu to find Er Lu. In the absence of the plain, you can see the Qinghe River. You can tell me with emotion that you want to revise it, but you have wasted your time and have nothing to achieve in the end. Qinghe said: "the ancients valued the morning and heard the evening, but the future of Kuang Jun was fair. And if people do not set up their ambition, why worry that their names will not show evil? " Chu then changed to be a loyal minister.
