In order to satisfy their own selfish desires, these people plundered the people's wealth and wealth, causing the people's lives to be miserable.
At the local level, corrupt officials run rampant and collude with local tyrants and evil gentry to oppress the people wantonly. Exorbitant levies and miscellaneous taxes were numerous. The farmers worked hard for a year, but they could not even maintain food and clothing. Many people were forced to leave their homes and wander around, and social conflicts became increasingly acute.

However, the Northern Song Dynasty court still fought for power and profit, turning a blind eye to the crisis facing the country. In such troubled times, a group of heroes from all over the world and all walks of life stepped forward one after another in order to survive and for justice. They gathered in a place called Qingfeng Village and performed a magnificent legend of loyalty.
