I want to ruin the country

Jin Huaigu thought to himself, Oh my god, I'm rich. If this grain had been stored in the spring, how many people could it have saved?

At that time, he, as a local official, was worried about food.

The emperor said that these grains were looted by Liu Heita from the nearby people, and he wanted to return them to the people. What a good emperor he is!

The people in Pingyi County can get more than 30 kilograms of grain on average!

There is just one thing I don’t understand. The grain was robbed from the people by Liu Heita, and he should return it to the people.

Weren’t those gold, silver, and jewelry also looted from the nearby people?

Why not return it to the nearby people?

How could he know that although gold, silver and jewelry belonged to the people, they did not belong to the poor people.

Who has ever seen a dilapidated house where people have no food to eat, can't even afford to wear pants, and yet there is a painting of bamboo by Zheng Banqiao hanging in the main hall?

Or she might be wearing an emerald ring as big as an egg on her hand.

Since it doesn’t belong to the poor, even if Liu Heita doesn’t snatch it away, Yining still wants to snatch it away!

Since Liu Heita had snatched it for him, there was nothing to say. He could only accept it reluctantly and take it without thanks!

Jin Huaigu didn't care about so many things and quickly organized the people to load the goods and ship them out.

Senglinqin did not see the bandit leader Liu Heita and the fourth leader, so he hurriedly asked Hebie,

"Where are the bandit leader Liu Heita and his men? Are they alive or dead?"

Herbie said,

"Marshal, we're looking for him. The bandits said the Fourth Master was on the second wall. Once we started shelling him, we couldn't find him. We don't know if he's alive or dead now!"

The monks in the forest said,

"You want to see people when you are alive, you want to see corpses when you die!"

"I will finally understand!"

After a day of searching, Liu Heita was finally found.

It turned out that he jumped down in a panic and actually jumped to the edge of the hole.

He didn't stand firmly when he landed and stumbled and fell into the hole.

Then the wall collapsed and he was buried in the hole.

Fortunately, stones are different from soil. There are gaps between the stones, so he was not suffocated to death.

There was food, drink and oil lamps in the cave, and he thought that maybe he could escape the disaster.

You are so naive! You are the number one bandit leader. How can I report to the emperor if I can't find you?

Liu Heita is easy to identify because he is tall, so even if someone wants to impersonate him, they can't.

The fourth in command was also found, with half of his head blown off, but he was wearing silk clothes, so he was easy to recognize.

At this point, Liu Heita, the biggest bandit in Shandong, was completely wiped out.

The local people cried with joy, as they had suffered so much at the hands of Liu Heita over the years.

For more than ten years, they have lived in fear every day.

For example, when a girl grows up, she is afraid that she will become beautiful. If Liu Heita hears about it, he will definitely take her to the mountains.

After having enough fun with the girl, he gave her to the minions below.

There are thousands of bandits in the mountains. I don’t know what will happen to this girl.

Some girls could not bear the humiliation and countless of them committed suicide by jumping into wells or hanging themselves.

But the bandits watched them very strictly, and even dying became a luxury.

This is the case for families with daughters, and those who are getting married are even more worried and trembling with fear.

It would be fine if the new bride had an ordinary appearance, but as long as she had some beauty, the bandits would never let her go.

If someone comes to your house and sleeps with your wife, you'll be lucky if he doesn't snatch her away. Even if he snatches your new wife away to the mountains, you'll have to consider yourself unlucky.

As the saying goes, "A rabbit doesn't eat grass near its burrow," but Liu Heita is not like that. He plunders the people nearby even more harshly.

Since ancient times, farming and paying grain to the government has been the eternal law of the land.

But the common people living nearby not only had to pay grain to the emperor, but also had to pay a portion to Liu Heita.

Moreover, Liu Heita was even more ruthless than the imperial court. He asked for twice as much as the imperial court. If the imperial court asked for one dou of rice, he would charge you two dou.

Since the common people couldn't produce the money, he would burn, kill and rob.

Some people wonder, isn’t he forcing the people to death by doing this?

You are right. Liu Heita said that the country is so big, and the death of a few people is nothing. If you die, there is still him, and if he dies, there are still others.

Because of these reasons, almost nine out of ten houses in the village around the foot of the mountain were deserted, as they were all forced to flee by him.

Don’t you think this person is worse than an animal?

The bandits were wiped out in one fell swoop, and at first the common people couldn't believe the news.

Some people questioned,

"is that true?"

Some people suspect that

"No way! That beast has so many soldiers and horses, how could he be defeated so easily?"

Some people shook their heads.

"Don't listen to their nonsense. If the imperial court had that kind of power, how could they have allowed this bastard to harm us for so many years?"

Someone echoed,

"Yes, this is a rumor!"

Just as everyone was discussing this, officials came to the village, beating gongs and shouting,

"Bang, bang, listen up, people! The Emperor has sent Marshal Senglinqin with his heavenly soldiers to destroy Liu Heita.

We need laborers to carry food down from the mountain. Five cents a day for a big white steamed bun. Everyone, hurry up! Bang, bang, bang!

"what?"

"Liu Heita is really finished!"

"Oh my god, this is great news, everyone, go check it out!"

The people were so happy that some of them were looking for firecrackers and double-kick firecrackers, while others were lying in the yard and kowtowing to the gods.

"God, you finally opened your eyes and finally dealt with this beast!"

There was an old lady crying so hard that she lay in the yard and kowtowed towards Mount Tai.

"Grandma Taishan, I kowtow to you. We have a way to survive from now on!"

His son said,

"Dad, kowtow to the heavens and to Grandma Taishan. If the emperor hadn't sent troops, would you have been able to deal with Liu Heita?"

The old lady bit her neck and said,

"Yes, the emperor was also sent by God. Is there anything wrong with kowtowing to God?"

The old man said,

"Don't be stubborn, this is a great thing. Let's quickly find something to give to the army!"

His son said,

"What can I give away? We only have one old hen. Will my mother be willing to give it away?"

The old lady said quickly,

"I'm willing to give it up, I'm willing to give it up. Without Liu Heita causing trouble for us, we would have so many hens!"

“Okay, this is the first time your mother is so generous, hurry up and catch the chicken!

You two should take the chickens and help the county magistrate transport food, but don't ask for money!"

The old man was stunned.

"Why don't you want money?"

The old lady said angrily,

"The Emperor has vented his anger on us. We no longer have to live in fear. Do you still have a conscience if he asks you to do some work and asks for money?"

The old man smiled naively.

"That's right, no money, no money!"

The people in the area within dozens of miles all had the same idea.

They beat drums and gongs, set off firecrackers, danced the yangge, danced with lions, and brought the best food and drinks in their homes to entertain the troops.

Many people don’t know this, but the entire front of the mountain was surrounded by water and no one could get in or out.

Senglinqin was also moved when he saw this scene.

I have been a soldier all my life, but when have I ever received such love from the people?
