In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Nanjing's bustling scene was dizzying. In the midst of this hustle and bustle, there lived a scholar surnamed Sun, named Sun Yuanming.

Sun Yuanming is twenty-four years old this year, talented and beautiful, but he has an indifferent personality and does not have many friends. His father was a successful consultant, but Sun Yuanming didn't want to follow his father to study medicine, he just wanted to find a quiet official position to live.

One day, Sun Yuanming's father said: "I heard that the Ministry of Industry is recruiting secretaries, do you want to try?"”

Sun Yuanming hurriedly said yes, he picked out a clean gown and came to the Ministry of Industry to apply for a job. It was already full of people, and Sun Yuanming waited in the long queue for a day before it was his turn to interview.

The person in charge of the recruitment was a middle-aged official in his 40s, who introduced himself as Zhang, and was the head of the department. Sun Yuanming showed all his talents that he could write and calculate to Director Zhang, who nodded and said, "You do have some talent, but it depends on fate to be selected." ”

Sun Yuanming invited Director Zhang to a sumptuous lunch, and sent a few horses of fine silk to get this errand. After taking office, Sun Yuanming found that Director Zhang often used public money to entertain and make powerful friends. Sun Yuanming saw the extravagant life of the **, and gradually became dissatisfied in his heart.

One day, as soon as Sun Yuanming came home from official business, he saw his father waiting at the door with a solemn face. The father said, "Your aunt is sick with a strange disease, so you should pay a visit." ”

Sun Yuanming hurriedly went to his aunt's house, only to see that his aunt was already sick and thin. My aunt was poor, and Sun Yuanming was busy prescribing her some silver taels to buy medicine.

A few days later, Sun Yuanming went to visit, but found that his aunt had died. The neighbor told him that his aunt was forced to death by the high-interest * loan who yelled for money all day long, and was still calling Sun Yuanming before she died.

Sun Yuanming's eyes were red, and he immediately went to Gao Li* to ask for an explanation. The high-interest * loan was full of feces, saying that he was just a businessman, and Sun Yuanming's aunt borrowed the money herself, and she deserved to die of bankruptcy.

Sun Yuanming returned home, his heart full of anger. He thought of his hard work, but he couldn't stop his relatives from being oppressedThinking of the corruption of the imperial court, his own work has also become an aid.

At this time, a thought ignited in his heart - to join the rogues and oppose the imperial court.

The next day, Sun Yuanming came to Director Zhang and said that he had an urgent matter at home and asked for leave. Director Zhang was furious and said that Sun Yuanming was irresponsible. But seeing that he did have a solemn face, he still approved the fake.

After Sun Yuanming left the Ministry of Industry, he went directly to the Yue Theater. He changed into a coarse cloth outfit and blended in with the rogue who came to go on a date with the kabuki.

This group of people is discussing the matter of going to Shandong to rob the rich and help the poor. Sun Yuanming immediately joined, saying that he also wanted to wash away the hatred in his heart by robbing the rich and helping the poor.

The rogues were wary at first, but seeing Sun Yuanming's agility, they accepted him.

At dawn the next day, the rogues set off for Shandong. They came to a wealthy mansion, and Sun Yuanming used all his resources to successfully rob a huge amount of money.

This first success made Sun Yuanming high-spirited. and the rogues robbed the rich and helped the poor along the way, and everywhere they went, the wealthy and giant rooms were all looted.

Sun Yuanming remembered the ** inventory of the Ministry of Industry, so he took a shortcut back to Nanjing and stole the musket gunpowder from the Ministry of Industry.

Under the fire attack, the rich family was quickly captured. This also made the imperial court furious, and sent troops to hunt down this gang. While evading the pursuit of officers and soldiers, the rogues stumbled into the villa where Mr. Zhang was in charge.

Sun Yuanming said angrily: "This ** place, we also have to copy it well!."”

The rogues found that there were countless gold and silver treasures in the villa, and they all looked at Sun Yuanming. Sun Yuanming's eyes were red, and he personally set fire to the villa.

The villa was reduced to ashes, and Mr. Zhang's family property was destroyed. This also became the last straw that the imperial court could not bear. Around the Qingming Festival, the imperial court dispatched heavy troops to capture and kill the gang. When Sun Yuanming fled to the southeast, he was shot in the chest by an arrow from an officer and soldier, and fell to death in the field.

Life is like a reverse journey, Sun Yuanming came to the world inexplicably, and left in a hurry in a flash. How many glimpses, regrets.

For many years afterward, people discussed the story of this legend after dinner. But most people believe that Sun Yuanming violated ethics after all, and his fate is also self-inflicted.
