At this time, it was a time of war. Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian seized the power of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and established the Sui Dynasty in a vain attempt to break through the Chen State and unify the Central Plains. After succeeding, for fear that the Jiangnan clan would be dissatisfied and rebel, he sent officials to wantonly deprive the clan of their powers, suppress and restrict their livelihood, which caused the Jiangnan clan to panic and fear, thinking that their own interests would be damaged, and they had no choice but to discuss with each other, and they chose an auspicious day of the zodiac to rebel. There were successively Wang Wenjin of the Wuzhou clan, Gao Zhi of the Yuezhou clan, and Shen Xuanyu of the Suzhou clan raised troops to rebel, claiming to be the Son of Heaven, and the tone was arrogant.

Emperor Wen of Sui saw that it was self-defeating and good things turned bad, and regretted it, thunder and anger, and hurriedly sent a large army to Jiangnan to forcibly suppress it, in a vain attempt to stabilize the situation in Jiangnan by force.

I don't want to, the war started, fierce, the two sides repeatedly clashed, fought endlessly, the soldiers were in chaos, the war was everywhere, the soldiers were in trouble, the war was continuous, the people were displaced, they ran for their lives, on the street, beggars were rampant, as far as the eye could see, everywhere, and the place where Feng Ping was located was in Suzhou, there was chaos everywhere, the people were not happy, the ordinary people themselves could not eat enough, they could not wear warm, but how could they have extra rations, to give alms to beggars, really to beg for food in this troubled world, but it was not easy for the boss.

However, Feng Ping has always been cowardly by nature, only seeking to live, what is embarrassing, no self-esteem, in front of life, nothing to care about. The so-called: "A tree without bark will surely die." People are shameless, and the world is invincible. With this stamina, Feng Ping barely supported, three meals a day, he had to be able to eat rations and live a life, even so, but there was too little food, although his life could be saved, and he would not starve to death, but people were already hungry and thin, skinny, this crime was really unbearable.

In the depths of Feng Ping's heart, his mind occasionally flashed, thinking that he was full of poetry and books, and he was a well-educated person, but today he was poor and destitute and fell to this. Every late at night, when I fall asleep, I ask myself in my heart, faintly feel ashamed, struggle in my heart, so not entangled, hateful, painful, just in the middle of the rivers and lakes, so helpless, in order to survive, I can only survive like this.

It has been more than a month since I lived like this.

On this day, when he was begging for some leftovers in a tavern, he overheard several merchants muttering there, saying that there was a treasure hidden in Taihu Lake, and whoever got it could become the richest man in the world.

Feng Ping returned to the dilapidated house, thinking about it in his heart, he didn't care, he felt that this was a good way to make a fortune, and it was a good opportunity to live back to the rich life before. Thinking of this, I was secretly ruthless in my heart, and I wanted to go to Taihu Lake to find out.

The largest island in Taihu Lake is Xiaoyao Island, Feng Pingshi lives in Gusu, Wu County, has always known where Xiaoyao Island is, and has swam in Taihu Lake with his family several times before, then remembered, he rushed to the dock overnight, stole a small boat, and drove it, as long as he relied on his own cleverness, he got the treasure.

I didn't want to, after going to the island, I searched for several months, and there was no news of the whereabouts of the treasure, so I asked the villagers in many ways, and they all said that they didn't know, or that they had heard of it, but they didn't know where the treasure was. Eavesdropping on the villagers' conversations, or climbing on the villagers' rooftops in the middle of the night to listen to the news, you can't hear the slightest clue.

A few months later, the villagers of the island saw that he had come to beg for food, again and again, endlessly, always with this face, very cheeky, sympathetic and pitiful for a long time gone, seeing that he was young and did not look for a serious thing to do, all day long lazy to eat, not doing business, asking about the east and west, asking about treasures, straight to say that he had a problem with his brain, he was a madman, everyone looked down on him, spat on him, and when they saw him, they drove him away, but did not give him food.

Feng Ping begged the villagers on the island, and ate all the closed-door soup, not to mention begging for money, even the leftovers were not at all, and he was so hungry that his chest was close to his back, and his stomach was squeezing his intestines, and later, he was really hungry, and saw that there was rice in the bowl of the big yellow dog raised by the villagers, and the dog stood outside the door and bowed his head to eat, and in desperation, he didn't care about eating dog food, and rushed up, and the dog grabbed the food to eat, although he was bitten a few times by the big yellow dog, and his hands were bloody, after all, he was full of stomachs, not starving to death, and he was at ease, satisfied, and only didn't care about it at this time, and didn't take it to heart at all。

When the villagers on the island saw that he was hungry and crazy, they had no self-esteem, and went to grab food from the dog, and they were angry and angry with him, and they complained that he was young and did not study, and went to learn to be a beggar, and they were angry in their hearts, and they ignored him.

Feng Ping couldn't get anything to eat, and he was hungry for seven or eight days, and he was already prostrated and had no strength. Thinking of the richest family on the island, although he had also been blinded by the housekeeper and eaten a few closed doors, after all, he could still get a little bit, so he had no choice but to go again and beg. I didn't want to, when I arrived at the door, I was hungry and dizzy, and I fainted on the spot and didn't wake up. Fortunately, the owner of this family happened to go out of the house to run errands, and when he saw him, he had good intentions, and asked the housekeeper to help him into the house, pinch others, and save him. Seeing that he was hungry, he immediately ordered the maid in the house to bring him water and food, so that he could eat to his heart's content. Concerned, I asked him why he had fallen so far and begged for food here for months.

Feng Ping saw that he had saved his life, he was grateful in his heart, listened to him sincerely ask, did not say anything, thought for a moment, and only said his life experience, but did not tell the reason for the treasure hunt.

The owner of this family is also surnamed Feng, who has been in business for generations, kind-hearted, I heard that he understands literature and ink, and thought that the old man in the house passed away two days ago, and there was a shortage of accounts in the house, and seeing that he was pitiful, he intended to take him in and let him take care of the finances.

Feng Ping heard this, but he couldn't ask for it, so he was in the mansion and took care of the accounts.

After three years, Feng Lao saw that he was outstanding, diligent, and talented, and he was quite appreciated. Thinking of the daughter in the house, the only child, who is loved on weekdays, has passed twenty-eight years, and should be married, he intends to recruit him as a son-in-law, enter the family, and tell him about it. Feng Ping weighed it in his heart, thought of the treasures of Taihu Lake, thought of being able to live a rich life in the future, and knew that Miss Feng was ugly, so he didn't care about it, and he would talk about it after marrying.
