When New China was just founded, we made a lot of efforts to create a good environment and eliminate the social atmosphere at that time.
Among them, in 1951, we once caught a big bully landlord Li Runzhi. This is a great joy, because the people no longer have to be oppressed by this bully.
Many great men are famous for their selfless dedication and great achievements, but Li Runzhi has also been left with a reputation for thousands of years because of his bullying behavior, which makes people sigh endlessly.
But when he was executed in 1951, there was one secret in him that had not been revealed: the three hundred chests of gold he had secretly hidden. As a bully who often scavenged for the people's fat and people's ointment, he must have a lot of property behind him, but these three hundred boxes of gold were still missing.
The sixth generation
Li Runzhi's domination of this side did not rely on his own efforts for so many years alone. Li Runzhi's ancestors were given the title of a toastmaster because of their meritorious efforts in countering rebellion and war, and in ancient times, they had hereditary power, so on the Yunnan side, the Li family had great influence.
And by the time Li Runzhi's generation was already the sixth generation, this time was already the Republic of China period, and Li Runzhi also gave up the so-called toast office and directly began his hegemonic position in Yunnan.
After all, as the saying goes: "The emperor is far away from the heavens.". Li Runzhi is the biggest overlord in the local area, with his family lineage and many years of roots, he is the only one in the local area. He had supreme power and could be said to be a local "little emperor".
And Li Runzhi was not a local tycoon class, he was very shrewd, at that time, the situation was turbulent, only money was the most appropriate hard currency.
So Li Runzhi began his own crazy plan to accumulate wealth, opened a Fuchanglong trading house, and also carried out some arms transactions, and gradually Li Runzhi's power became more and more powerful, and the scope involved was not only money, but also armaments.
In order to amass wealth, Li Runzhi ate both black and white, and colluded with bandits, and even local government officials had no choice but to turn a blind eye to his actions. And his business is getting more and more prosperous, after all, he is in a monopoly position in the local area.
As a large landlord class, he also forcibly occupied farmland, built factories on it, and formed his own pro-army. Li Runzhi acted arbitrarily, not putting anyone in his eyes, his heart also began to expand sharply, nothing could suppress Li Runzhi, of course, he would be unscrupulous and do whatever he wanted.
In order to expand his wealth in a big way, Li Runzhi plundered the people's fat and people's ointment, which is a common thing, and he and the local National Government are even more protected by officials and businessmen, one is the criminal and evil forces, and the other provides an umbrella for the criminal and evil forces.
Public enemy of the People's Government
It is said that At that time, Li Runzhi's power was enough to impress government officials, and if there were new officials in the local area, they must first go to see Li Runzhi, and the local commercial industry and agriculture did not go through Li Runzhi's jurisdiction.
In the face of such a powerful force, the government can only open one eye and close one eye. Later, during the Kuomintang Civil War, Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang government quickly drew Li Runzhi into their camp.
Li Runzhi, in the face of the promise of the high-ranking official of the Kuomintang government, Also chose to join their ranks. As everyone knows, this wrong step of his choice has buried the inheritance of their ancestors for hundreds of years.
In order to resist the Communists together with the Kuomintang, Li Runzhi also personally funded the mobilization of the army, and even bribed the bandits in the surrounding areas to include them in the army, and the number of Li Runzhi's small army was nearly 10,000 people. However, after the Kuomintang was defeated and retreated, the Kuomintang's million-strong army could not stop such a rout, not to mention Li Runzhi's irregular army.
But Li Runzhi was still dying, killing innocents everywhere and killing non-stop to cause panic, and was finally arrested by the army in Western Yunnan in October 1950 and later executed. He finally paid the price for his actions.
Li Runzhi, as a large landlord class, is completely at odds with the interests of the people represented by the people's government. Li Runzhi has been arrogant for too long, openly making enemies with the people's government and the people's interests, and he only wants to covet his own power and money, but does not put the interests of others in his eyes.
Three hundred chests of gold that disappeared
But with Li Runzhi's death, there is one secret that can no longer be revealed, and that is the wealth behind him.
It is said that he had three hundred chests of gold in his possession, but the local people and the government did not find any later. Li Runzhi has been an official since his ancestors, and he is still a very powerful local force, hundreds of years of family business, hundreds of boxes of gold, and it is really very unwilling.
Such a huge wealth must have been hidden somewhere, but once Li Run died, this secret was difficult to uncover, and the three hundred boxes of gold disappeared. Later, a steady stream of people came to visit, hoping to find the windfall, but in the end it all ended in failure.
No one knows where the three hundred boxes of gold are stored, whether anyone has transferred Li Runzhi's wealth in the middle, or even whether the rumors of three hundred boxes of gold are true, in fact, we have no way to verify.
For Li Runzhi, a bully, the local people hate him to the bone, but they are eager for the wealth he left behind. Local villagers dug everywhere to look for it, but they couldn't find it. Since then, this matter has always been a mystery.
Brief summary:
The liberation of our whole of China depends on every Communist fighter who dedicates himself to the enemy and bravely kills the enemy. Bullies like Li Runzhi are the targets of our key crackdowns, and we must resolutely crack down on any behavior that is unfavorable to the people and the country.
Even today, decades later, we still advocate the fight against organized crime and evil in order to protect the rights of more people. We must not only safeguard our own rights, but also not encroach on the rights of others.
It doesn't matter whether Li Runzhi's three hundred boxes of gold are there, what matters is that he left us a negative textbook to learn from, so he will be abandoned by the people's state.
