In the last years of the Republic of China, there was a man named Zhang Jin, who was poor since he was a child, and his father died of illness when he was three years old. Orphans and widows are not easy to live in, although there are villagers and neighbors to help, but suffering is inevitable. But these have created Zhang Jin's strong character, and what he usually doesn't like the most is bullying the weak, like the son of the rich man in their village who is most afraid of him.

By the age of fifteen, Zhang Jin was already a well-known number one person in ten miles and eight townships, no matter where he went, he was always followed by many peers, as if he was already a big brother. Even the extremely domineering Yellow Rich Man in their village was jealous when he saw him. By the age of twenty, Zhang Jin was already able to organize a team of hundreds of people, and because he never did evil things, he had an excellent reputation in ten miles and eight towns. But several wealthy rich people saw Zhang Jin's teeth itching with hatred, because in the past few years, they no longer dared to collect rent casually and run rampant in the township. If they bullied that farmer and Zhang Jin knew about it, they would be the ones who suffered. For example, once the rich man Huang overcharged a family rent, and was beaten by Zhang Jin and others, not to mention the rich man, and robbed the rich man of the yellow rich man a lot of money and things by the way, the rest of the rich man no longer dared to do evil.

Although these rich people have reined in, they are all holding their breath in their hearts, and they have all contributed money to organize a group of ruffians and hooligans as their escorts, and they have privately warned those farmers to discipline their children well, and they are not allowed to follow Zhang Jinbu again, and these things must be kept secret, otherwise the land will be recovered.

But this matter was still known to Zhang Jin, and in order to deal with these rich people, Zhang Jin secretly convened a group of his brothers to discuss countermeasures.

The next day, Zhang Jin led a few brothers to the house of the rich man. This time, the rich man Huang was not only not afraid, but led a few ruffians and hooligans to surround Zhang Jin and them. "Okay, Zhang Jin, there is a way in heaven, you don't go, there is no door to hell, you can vote yourself, this time we will settle the new accounts and old accounts together," the yellow rich man said viciously. "Don't, Uncle Huang, I came this time to admit my mistake, what do you want me to do so that I don't affect others?" Zhang Jin asked pretending to be pitiful. "For everyone's sake, as long as you and your mother go to live elsewhere, the previous things will be written off, otherwise everyone who has something to do with you, I will take away the land," said the rich man with a smile on his face. "Don't go too far, settle down and relocate, my mother is so old, if you let her go, doesn't it mean that you will kill her?" Zhang Jin yelled. "Then I don't care, I'll choose the path for you, it's up to you how you go," the rich man said arrogantly. "What if I don't leave?" Zhang Jin said viciously. "If you don't leave, then wait for your lovely folks and neighbors to starve to death, and you don't want to go out today," the yellow rich man finished speaking, and his escort took out wooden sticks and other weapons.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Jin said: "Okay, I'll go, but you must not embarrass my brothers and family, otherwise I will come back" Seeing that the rich man Huang said viciously, Zhang Jin turned his head and left with a few of his brothers.

The next day, Zhang Jin left the village with his mother, and the rich man Huang was afraid that Zhang Jin would cheat, so he sent someone to follow him for a long time, until he was sure that Zhang Jin's mother and son had indeed left, and he was completely relieved.

Ten days after Zhang Jin left, the rich man completely changed his face, not only drove away the recruited escorts, but also intensified the rent collection of those who had followed Zhang Jin before. Regardless of the yellow rich man, the other rich people are the same, suddenly, within a radius of 100 miles, many ordinary people complained for a while, and their lives were miserable.

One day, a month later, a flying pigeon flew from afar, and the young people of the ten miles and eight towns began to gather in an orderly manner towards one place, and they all hurried away in the evening. On the afternoon of the third day, many young people gathered at the homes of several rich people, intentionally or unintentionally. The night came as scheduled, and when the night came, several rich people's houses suddenly caught fire at the same time, and at this time, those young people who had already been in ambush held a large banner with the word Zhang Jin written on it and shouted: "For the rich and unkind, General Zhang took it on behalf of the people" and ransacked several rich people.

The next day, Zhang Jin raised the banner and set himself up as a general spread throughout the countryside, and in the eyes of the people he was a hero, because he robbed the rich and helped the poor, but where those rich people were, he was a bandit. The robbed rich family did not give up, they got together one night after the incident to discuss how to retaliate against Zhang Jin, it was obviously no longer possible to use force, at this time Zhang Jin was not only outnumbered, but most importantly, I don't know where he got dozens of guns. At this moment, one of the rich men saw a rat biting the root of the corn stalk, and he suddenly had an idea and said: "Zhang Jinneng must have a root cause in the incident, and if you want me to see, this root is in his ancestral grave." After hearing this, the other rich men suddenly realized: "Yes, otherwise, with this poor boy, how could anyone follow?" So the next day, several rich people gathered some people to dig the ancestral grave of Zhang Jin's family, when the ancestral tomb of Zhang Jin's family was dug up, everyone was stunned, only to see that Zhang Jin's family was dug up in the grave, some red ants piled up the image of a general riding a horse, but the fly in the ointment, the general was still short of one foot on the stirrup. Seeing this, several rich people hurriedly beckoned someone to burn the ants.

Soon, Zhang Jin's party was defeated by several people gathered by wealthy people, and Zhang Jin was forced to leave his hometown and disappear.

Later, many people said that the ancestral grave of the Zhang Jin family was the general's vein, and if the rich men at that time had dug up the ancestral grave of the Zhang Jin family a little later, the general who had accumulated ants would definitely be perfect, and even if the ants were burned at that time, it would not have an impact. It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, Zhang Jin still failed, but his behavior and spirit of robbing the rich and helping the poor have been praised by future generations.
