Xu Dajing

Xu Dajing1 / 8

"A single grass carp sells for two hundred wen, and I never haggle. So why does every household call it steep and say I'm fleecing them?"

Originally of the Cang Gang, he has a violent temper. He came by boat from the Min River to Shu, and got into a quarrel with his companions over rice that had gone damp and red, and left the boat. Afterward he caught a few fish to sell, but set a price only the Cang Gang could afford, and when Fu Yun was teaching him a lesson, Zhao Huo happened to see it.

Depending on your choice, he may join the Tang Clan and change his name to Tang Dajing, taking Zhao Huo as his junior, and appear in Battles.

He is terrified of Ye Yunshang; the moment he has anything to eat, she snatches it away, and he calls her "Grandaunt" again and again, which shows how badly she has tormented him.

Related Events

The Red Rice Incident

• Xu Dajing is not well educated. Seeing the rice turned red, he thought cockroaches had laid eggs in it, and when his superior said they would have to pick it out grain by grain by hand, he lost his temper and dumped all the rice into the sea.
  • Tang Zhongling says it was moldy rice, poisonous and unfit to eat, and that throwing it away saved lives.

The Overpriced Seafood Incident

• Xu Dajing sold seafood to the people of Meishan at the prices the Cang Gang gets near Fujian, and when they called it too expensive he grew angry and wanted to use force.
  • Tang Zhongling explains that the Cang Gang holds a monopoly on seafood prices along the Fujian coast, which is why it sells high there, and of course it is far too expensive anywhere else.

Helping Fu Yun

• If you step in to help Fu Yun, then after defeating Xu Dajing you drag him off to the Tang Clan.
  • Tang Zhongling, having heard the whole matter, judges that in the red rice affair his merit outweighs his fault, and that Dajing acted out of ignorance rather than a desire for violence, and offers three punishments:
    • Hand him over to the yamen.
    • Hand him over to the Cang Gang.
    • Have him join the Tang Clan and be dealt with under the Clan Rules.
• Learning he has somewhere to go, Xu Dajing joins the Tang Clan with boundless gratitude.
