Zhou Huaian, a hereditary canal transporter with thousands of households, was originally the most silent guardian of the canal.
He was owed wages for three months, extorted by eunuchs, blocked gates along the way, and restricted food transportation. An imperial edict pushed him into a certain death situation.
He possesses the golden finger of the secret passage of canals and underground rivers. He is invincible on the water, has a cold face to protect his shortcomings, is ruthless externally and kind internally.
Faced with the killings at all levels, he did not surrender, did not kneel to power, and did not rebel——
He sold his ancestral property to stabilize people's hearts, toughened the tax collectors to show his prestige, suppressed his rebellious brothers, and went into a desperate situation alone to protect the grain.
One hundred thousand soldiers in Liaodong are waiting for food to survive, and the eunuchs have spread nets for thousands of miles, butcher's knives are hanging high.
Dong Lin's imperial convicts boarded the ship and went together, and undercurrents surged in the rivers, lakes and courts.
Three thousand miles across the Caohe River, there were bloody battles, slaps in the face, and defeats all the way.
As a magistrate, he endured troubled times and guarded the canal for the common people.
The country will be destroyed, the family will be destroyed, the ship will sink, but the waist will not bend!
This narrow escape in transporting grain was the beginning of his world-famous legend!
