Chapter 50 It's impossible without money

Before talking about the man who leads everyone into the warmth of spring, first look at a set of words: Stealing, drugging, kidnapping, blackmailing. No matter how they are arranged and combined, there is only one sentence: the consequences are serious. Why steal, obsess, bind, strangle?Because of lack of money?Why are you short of money?Because they are all unemployed youths; what do unemployed youths want money for?revolution. The revolution also needs money? Of course revolution needs money. Do you think life is so easy to change, just shout a few slogans?A boy shouting outside the dormitory all night may be able to impress a girl's heart, and a revolutionist shouting on the street all day will not give him money.

The price level is so high, and prices are rising every day. Which one does not need money for living expenses, organization expenses, entertainment expenses, arms expenses, assassination expenses, and logistics support expenses?In the spring of 1911, the revolutionaries Jiao Dafeng and Zou Yongcheng gathered in Wuchang were anxious for money. Turning around, a good way to get rich came up in my mind. There is a small stream in the local valley with gurgling water and crystal clear water.There are many small green turtles in the stream, also known as money turtles.Many wealthy merchants keep it in fish tanks as treasures, probably as a good omen, and the market price is very expensive.

Catch the turtle, it does not require investment, no cost, no risk, no cost, no profit, you can try it. But after all, they are non-professional turtle catching rookies, Jiao Dafeng and others tossed in the water for a long time, without even touching the turtle shell, their faces and bodies were splashed with water.Passers-by were amazed, such a big man still playing water fights?I have only seen male and female couples playing in the water. There is something wrong with two old men being so affectionate in the water. When catching turtles becomes a water fight, catching money becomes a water fight.

The mind continues to turn, and the idea continues to think. Jiao Dafeng heard that there is a small town in Qichun called Ximaban, and there is a Dacheng Temple in Ximaban, which enshrines a golden Bodhisattva.He deliberately pretended to be a pilgrim and came to the temple. He saw the Golden Bodhisattva covered by a glass door, falsely claiming to donate incense money, opened the glass cover, pushed hard with his hands, and remained motionless.The monk proudly said that the incense is at its peak, and it is all made of real gold.When I go back, if I can steal the Golden Bodhisattva back and melt it into gold bars, it will be worth at least hundreds of thousands.

Some comrades raised different opinions. The life of the Bodhisattva must be removed before the emperor's life is removed. The Bodhisattva did not offend us.Jiao Dafeng explained that it is not a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, but just a nameless little god, and sometimes revolutionaries have to bully the weak and fear the strong. The next step is to step on the spot and purchase crime tools, and everything is ready.On a dark and windy night with heavy rain, Jiao Dafeng and the other three dug a big hole in the back wall, sneaked into the temple, smashed the glass, and successfully stole the Golden Bodhisattva.

But a problem arose, the Golden Bodhisattva was too big and heavy, the three of them managed to move it outside the temple, and could no longer carry it down the mountain. what to do?come back next time?impossible. They hacked, smashed and sawed the Golden Buddha with axes, hammers, and saws on the spot, preparing to dismantle it, and the clanging sound echoed for a long time in the dark valley. This is not stealing, it is simply fearing that the world will not know, so I simply talk to the monks directly, maybe I can get a sympathy. The monks finally woke up, and dozens of monks, big and small, came out to catch the thief one after another.You chop loudly, I knock louder than you.

According to common sense, regardless of whether the monks in the big temple or the small temple would dig out their hearts with both hands, Jiao Dafeng and others hurriedly pushed the Golden Bodhisattva into the ditch next to it, and walked away. It's fine to run, why push the Bodhisattva into the water, causing the monks to chant "Amitabha, sin, sin" over and over again. Now it was Zou Yongcheng's turn to act. In order to fully demonstrate the greatness and selflessness of the revolution, he went all out and decided to kill relatives righteously, starting with his own family members.

Zou Yongcheng's aunt lives in Wuchang, and recently transferred to a shop with a front door in Wangpu. She has quite a lot of money, and it is said that there are several gold bars hidden in the house.Gold bars, yellow and sparkling good things, with them, how many detours should the revolution avoid. There are only two ways to get gold bars: First, to borrow, but who is willing to lend gold bars to others?Neither can relatives. The second is to steal it and take it without anyone noticing.How can anyone not notice it?Use Mongolian sweat medicine. As soon as he said it, Zou Yongcheng contacted the small advertisements for psoriasis posted on the street, bought a few large packs of Mongolian sweat medicine, and started to act confidently and fearlessly.

On a warm spring day, Zou Yongcheng walked into his aunt's house. Stealing also has spring blossoms? Yes, in the warm spring days, everyone will relax their vigilance. Zou Yongcheng brought a lot of gifts in big bags and small bags, and his aunt was very polite, so he specially bought authentic Wuhan Yaya duck neck treats.Zou Yongcheng brought two bottles of top-quality wine, which he boasted was French XO.While they were not paying attention, he put the drug into one of the bottles and drank the other bottle himself. Zou Yongcheng began to persuade him to drink, and his aunt drank several glasses.Then, Zou Yongcheng was witnessing a miracle and his aunt's downfall.Time passed by every minute and every second, and the moment to witness the miracle never came, and the aunt still did not fall down in the end.

Must have bought counterfeit medicine. The terrible thing was that Zou Yongcheng drank too much and became very dizzy. He finally witnessed a miracle and fell down by himself.Of course, it was not because of the sweat medicine, but because of drunkenness. Fake medicines are really deceiving people, and the capital of the revolution fell through because of you.I usually despise those who sell fake drugs the most, but this time I still want to praise one.No medicine can be counterfeited, except Menghan medicine.Rest assured to make a fake boldly, it will make countless thieves miss, and countless criminal cases will be eliminated in the bud.

A few days later, Zou Yongcheng started to commit even crazier crimes. After much deliberation, he decided to find his family members to start the crime, which was easy to deceive. He shifted his target to his aunt's youngest son, who was only eight years old and was studying in school.Zou Yongcheng asked his younger brother to lie to his younger brother, saying that his mother was going to a theater in Hankou and asked his elder brother to pick him up.After receiving it, he hid in the hotel and asked his aunt for money.The aunt wanted to call the police, but Zou Yongcheng threatened to tear up the ticket.The two parties finally compromised and released him for 800 yuan. After the success of the revolution, Zou Yongcheng deliberately brought 1,000 yuan (including principal and interest) to apologize to his aunt: There is no way, there are only your relatives in Wuhan, who else can I look for if I don’t want you? The money was accepted immediately, but the reason was too far-fetched and the apology was ineffective. Since then, the two have become enemies for life. I have to remind these reckless revolutionaries again: no matter when, no matter what ideals, no matter what the name is, do not deceive or hurt your relatives, it will be a lifetime of guilt. Isn't the revolution just to make the common people and their relatives suffer less? Everything that should be done has been done, and everything that can be hurt has been hurt, but the almighty money still has nowhere to go.Many revolutionary comrades are almost desperate. We lack nothing, brains, physical strength, pride, and ambition. The only thing we lack is money.Revolutionary God of Wealth, where are you?
