The story of Dou Erdun stealing a royal horse

In 2 1 (1682), Kangxi decided to build a pasture on the Daling River outside Shanhaiguan to raise a large number of horses for the emperor and the royal family. As a result, a large area of private land was seized, which aroused great anger among local farmers. When Dou Erdun, a notorious outlaw from all directions, knew about it, he led his brothers to snatch a dozen good horses from the imperial court.

Later, the court heard that Dou Erdun was a dutiful son and sent someone to take Dou Erdun's mother and sister-in-law away and torture them. Dou Erdun was deeply saddened by the news. In order not to implicate his mother, he resolutely surrendered to the court and was sentenced to death by the Ministry of Punishment.
