The road is long, and the disease is approaching;
Long speechless, back Gongli.

Translation
If you meet an elder on the road, you should quickly go forward and bow to salute; if the elder does not speak, you should respectfully stand aside to show respect.

During the Tang Dynasty, there was a man named Hu Zheng who often fought against injustices and rescued innocent people.

Pei Du, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, was born in poverty in his early years and lived a relatively poor life.Once, he drank to soothe his sorrows in a hotel.Unexpectedly, he was entangled by a group of wicked young men and suffered all kinds of humiliation.At this moment, Hu Zheng happened to pass by, so he broke in, sat on the top of the group of villains, picked up the wine glass, and drank three glasses in one breath, all the guests present were not shocked.

Hu Zheng took down the rack on which the iron lamp was placed, picked them together like picking leaves from a tree, put them on his lap, and then said to all the guests: "Today, I issued a drinking order. If anyone breaks the law, he must drink it up according to the rules, and if anyone refuses to drink, I will smash his head with this thing!" After hearing this, everyone turned pale with fright, but they did not dare to disobey.I saw Hu Zheng picked up the wine jar and drank a lot of wine, but no one could match his volume.So, according to the rules, Hu Zheng was going to beat the person who violated the contract with an iron lamp stand.Seeing that the situation was not good, the gang of villains fell to their knees and begged Hu Zheng to let them go.Hu Zheng took this opportunity to throw them out of the hotel and rescued Pei Du, which made Pei Du very excited.After everyone figured out the cause and effect of the incident, they all praised Hu Zheng's act of righteousness.
