Chapter 67: Niu Gao, the King of Justice

When Niu Gao was thirteen or fourteen years old, his father fell seriously ill. He sought medical treatment and medicine everywhere but his condition did not improve. The ancients were superstitious, so they asked immortals, Taoist priests, and fortune tellers to calculate. They all said that Niu Gao needed to marry a wife to bring good luck and recovery.

Niu Gao got married under the arrangement of his parents and had a child the following year. The fourteen-year-old Niu Gao became the father of Niu Tong, and Niu Gao's father also temporarily recovered his health.

A few months later, Niu Gao's father's illness relapsed and he died of the illness. The burden of life fell entirely on Niu Gao.

After finishing his farm work every day, Niu Gao would go to the mountains to chop firewood and sell it at the market. Because he was born with supernatural strength, he could carry one or two thousand kilograms of firewood, and every time he finished chopping firewood, he could earn several times more than ordinary people.

Niu Gao also often went hunting in the mountains, using his archery skills to bring in extra income for his family. With his hard work, the family's life became better and better.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Once when Niu Gao was selling his prey in the market town, he met a lazy ruffian with a government background. The ruffian, who led a dozen of his friends, got drunk and bullied Niu Gao by taking advantage of his power. Niu Gao accidentally pushed him to the ground, and as luck would have it, he was hit on the head by a stone and died on the spot!

Niu Gao didn't want to lose his life in such a muddle, so he fled to the nearby Yaoshan Mountain (now the Shirenshan Scenic Area in Pingdingshan City, where many well-known film and television dramas were filmed) and Tianlong Mountain to become a bandit. He gradually gathered more than a hundred people, all of whom were forced to rebel against the officials. He gradually became a famous local bandit, but he only killed those who were rich and unjust, never bullied the poor people, and never killed officials for rebellion! He was called a "righteous bandit"!

The local government was also unable to suppress the bandits, so they deceived their superiors and subordinates, turned a blind eye, and everything was peaceful!

Not long after, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, Dongjing City, was besieged by the Jin army for the first time, and Niu Gao raised the banner of "doing justice for the heaven" to recruit heroes to fight against the Jin army. As Niu Gao was highly skilled in martial arts, proficient in archery, bold, careful and strategic, heroes from all over the country came to join him.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jin army often invaded the Central Plains and plundered the population and daily necessities of the Central Plains.

When the country was in danger, Niu Gao agreed to be recruited by the Northern Song government and joined the anti-Jin team. For this reason, the Northern Song government also issued a unified notice to commend him as a model of recruitment in order to attract more bad bandits to surrender and resist the invasion of the Jin army.

Niu Gao led his troops in bloody battles for several months. After driving away the Jin army, Niu Gao was appointed as the commander-in-chief of 500 cavalry. However, he met the family member of the ruffian who was accidentally killed and became his immediate superior. He was bullied and bullied by the official everywhere, so he killed the official in a rage. He led some of his troops who had surrendered with him in Yaoshan to flee to Niutou Mountain. He also wiped out some bad bandits nearby and became the largest bandit group in the local area. He called himself "The King of Justice"!

Although Niu Gao became a bandit again, he still controlled his own people, and specifically targeted those rich and unkind people, killing the rich to help the poor, and raising military funds. But he never oppressed the good people. He was truly a bandit with a code of conduct, and he was much more righteous than the heroes of Liangshan Marsh in Water Margin!

Therefore, the "King of Justice" is truly famous and renowned in the Heshan area!
