They are extremely corrupt. Notoriety.

The great thieves of the country, the middle thieves, the successful kings and defeated bandits, only the last ones can steal gold and silver.

Who hasn’t heard the words “The Tao is not to steal, but the Tao is very thief”, and “There is also the Tao to robbers, but the Tao is not to steal”. There have always been many heroes who actually formed associations in the green forest and engaged in activities of dividing the spoils and gathering for righteousness. They were accustomed to doing things that were difficult for ordinary people to imagine, and they were not comparable to other heretics. Among the Green Forest Bandits, none are more famous than the Xiling Bandits.

The people of Xiling spread all over the world, or gathered in Xiaoshan Mountain to respect Emperor Guan and the overlord of Western Chu as their ancestor. Whenever there were ancient tombs and huge tombs, they swarmed up, excavated them with all their strength, and destroyed the corpses. Pingqiu, searching for treasures, leaving no trace behind, specifically imitating the actions of the Red Eyebrow Rebels back then.

If you look at the history of each dynasty, you will find the secret story of the Xiling group of thieves fighting over the grave. If it were revealed, those thrilling and strange whereabouts would be no less than the deeds of Captain Gold.
