In the twelfth year of Emperor Yonghe's reign, the world was in turmoil. There was a severe drought in the northwest for three years. The imperial court failed to provide disaster relief, and people died of hunger all over the country. Taxes increased instead of being reduced, and countless people sold their sons and daughters. Officials and bandits collude, and the people are in dire straits. Banditry is rampant in Qingzhou, especially Qingfeng Village, which is the most powerful. It is entrenched in Cangwu Mountain and plunders the caravans passing by. The government has repeatedly encircled and suppressed them, but failed. Rumor has it that the head of Qingfeng Village behaves treacherously and cruelly, but never bothers ordinary people. He only robs wealthy gentry, officials and businessmen, and is listed as the number one target of bandit suppression by the government.
Purpose: For the people of the world, not for the king alone
