The whole world is in the midst of profit. Generally, people will use some legitimate methods to seek wealth, but some people's desire for wealth is far greater than moral condemnation, and sometimes they use illegal means to obtain some wealth. In the Republic of China period, there was a gangster who, in order to accumulate wealth, specially did some shady deeds, and sometimes in order to make money, he would hurt the local people, and everyone dared to be angry and dare not speak.
He was very famous in the Yunnan area and had tens of thousands of soldiers on his hands. His name was Li Runzhi, probably many people had not heard of this name, he was the first bandit at that time. Many people think that bandits are generally born into poverty, and in order to survive, they will use illegal means to accumulate wealth, which is theoretically the case. But this man was different from some bandits, he had lived a very privileged life since he was a child, born into a large landlord's family. Like many people, the more money, the more you will not only be satisfied with it, but also have more desires and want to fight for more. Slowly, he set his sights on power, and in order to have more and greater power, he began to collude with some local officials and make some illegal transactions, such as some arms, manufacturing weapons, etc.
He knew that many acts of injustice would kill himself, and that he had done so many bad things that he might be caught later, and he began to have a sense of crisis, so he hid 300 boxes of gold bars in advance in an unknown and hidden place. In 1947, the Kuomintang was encircled and suppressed by the People's Liberation Army, but there were still some remnants of the force. Subsequently, the People's Liberation Army began to harvest armed forces and wanted to liberate more people. His armed forces were so great that he was afraid of being caught, so he fled with his men to the depths of the mountains.
In 1949, the People's Liberation Army began a large-scale campaign to suppress bandits, and soon found him, and after fierce fighting, he was captured. According to local reports, he also hid 300 boxes of gold bars. But after a long interrogation, he still refused to let go, and then he was shot, and the whereabouts of the hidden gold bars are still unknown.
