During the Yongzheng period, Tancun, Guangdong. An arson case caused by "Feng Shui demolition" burned seven corpses and eight lives to ashes. It also turned "rich people showing off their wealth", "magic sticks telling fortunes" and "official corruption" into a ridiculous drama.
The Liang family is a humble citizen, relying on a big goose that protects the house and a lot of integrity to outlast the local tycoon Ling Guixing with his "money skills":
The magic stick's half-immortal mouth can be opened to light, and Brother Goose's wings can be physically transformed.
The movie king and beggar bring their own barrages, and the official group's collective live broadcast overturns
One hundred thousand snowflakes of silver can buy a "legal murderous intention", but not the "loyalty and loyalty" of a goose.
From the "barbeque scene" at the entrance of the village to the "three-division trial" in the capital, from "money power" to "goose power", from "burning houses and killing families" to "burying corpses in the snow", the absurdity is upgraded layer by layer, and the passion is always online.
When the head falls to the ground and the dark fire is not extinguished, the goose song is still echoing in the night sky - it tells you:
Heaven may be late, but it will never be absent;
Money can buy hell, but it cannot buy the conscience of a goose.
