The allusion of "removing the three evils in the week" can be found in "The Book of Jin: The Biography of Zhou" and "The New Language of the World".
Zhou was originally a native of Yixing (now Yixing County, Jiangsu) in Eastern Wu. When he was young, he was tall and had more strength than the average young man. His father died at an early age, and he was left unsupervised since he was a child, wandering outside all day long, refusing to study; And he has a strong temper, he pulls out his fists and beats people at every turn, and even uses knives and guns, and the people in Yixing are afraid of him.
I like to drink alcohol everywhere, and the local merchants don't dare to mess with him, so they can only take out the silver to please him.
One day, Zhou went out with silver, and when he passed by a pine forest, he saw an old woman crying sadly.
Zhou Chu inquired curiously, it turned out that the old woman's son was eaten by a tiger in the mountain, Zhou Chu suddenly sympathized, took out the silver in his arms and handed it to the old woman.
The old woman stopped her grief and came to the government to tell the story of the tigers in the mountains hurting people and giving up their wealth everywhere.
It happened that the merchants in the city also came to the government and complained to the Taishou about bullying the people around.
He thought about it for a long time, and was determined to use tactics to persuade him to change evil and follow good.
Taishou changed his clothes and came to the street to find Zhou, telling that the existing three evils are harming the people, and hoping that Zhouzhi can help to eliminate the harm for the people.
Asked around what the three evils were, Taishou replied that there were Nanshan tigers, and second, there were evil dragons in the water, and as for the three, they .......
Zhou couldn't help but be curious and asked why the third evil, Tai Shou Liangjiu, before answering, this third evil, that is, you around you, bullying the people, especially the tiger Jiao ten times.
After hearing this, Zhou was ashamed, and hurriedly saluted the old man, vowing to reform and eliminate the three evils for the people.
Taishou happily returned to his house, called the residents, and informed everyone that Zhou had decided to change his ways, and everyone wanted to help him kill the tiger.
Zhou led everyone into Nanshan, fought with the tiger, and tried to eliminate the evil tiger.
Everywhere he raised his sword and ran into the water, and several vicious battles killed the evil Jiao.
Everyone on the shore cheered for the surroundings.
Taishou went to the water's edge to greet the newcomer around, and knelt down everywhere to thank the grace of recreation. Zhou killed the tiger Jiao alone, and he himself turned back and changed his ways, so that the three evils were eliminated.
