In the Song Dynasty, cattle were regarded as an important labor force and were protected by strict laws, and killing cattle was a serious offense. But strangely, in Liangshanbo, a group of heroes who were regarded as rebellious by the imperial court did not seem to be bound by this law. They drank wine in large bowls and ate meat, and the table was often filled with tender beef. This can't help but make people wonder: in the context of the Song Dynasty's ban on killing cattle, why could the heroes of Liangshan eat beef casually?
Lin Chong, the former head of the 800,000 forbidden army in Tokyo, was forced to join Liangshan because he was framed by traitors. He was born into a family of eunuchs and had a deep understanding of the laws of the Song Dynasty. Whenever he saw the fragrant beef on the table, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart.
At a banquet, Lin Chong finally couldn't help but ask Li Kui about the source of beef. Li Kui laughed, slapped the table and said, "Sect Leader Lin, you don't know anything. Although we are located in a remote area, we also have our own rules. This beef is not killed at will, but has a special source. ”
Lin Chong frowned and motioned for Li Kui to continue. Li Kui then said: "This beef is mostly old cattle that cannot be cultivated due to illness, or cattle that have died of natural causes. We are heroes in Liangshan, although we are regarded as rebels by the imperial court, but we have our own morality in our hearts. If these old and sick cows remain in the world, it will only increase their suffering, and we will take their flesh so that they can rest in peace. ”
After Lin Chong heard this, although he still had doubts in his heart, he also felt that what Li Kui said seemed to have some truth. However, as his time in Yangsan grew longer, he gradually noticed that something was wrong. He found that the heroes of Liangshan seemed to be eating more and more beef, and the quality was getting better and better, which was obviously beyond the scope of the "old and weak and sick cattle" mentioned by Li Kui.
Lin Chong decided to investigate the matter secretly. He used his martial arts and resourcefulness to quietly track down some of the heroes in charge of procurement. After some twists and turns, he finally discovered the truth: it turned out that the beef was not all from the old and sick cows, but some of it was secretly stolen from a nearby farmer's house!
Lin Chong was shocked in his heart, he realized the seriousness of this matter. If the heroes of Liangshan continue like this, they will not only violate the law, but also lose the support of the people, and may even lead to the destruction of Liangshan.
So, Lin Chong found Song Jiang and told him what he had found. Song Jiang was shocked when he heard this, and immediately called a meeting of all the heroes to discuss the matter. At the meeting, Song Jiang solemnly pointed out the dangers of stealing cattle and eating meat, and stressed that the heroes of Liangshan should abide by the law and protect the people's hearts. He proposed to strengthen internal management and strictly prohibit similar things from happening again.
When they heard this, they all agreed, realized their mistake, and promised not to steal cattle and eat meat again. At the same time, they also said that they would strengthen self-discipline, abide by the law, and maintain the reputation and popular support of Liangshan.
After a period of rectification and reform, the heroes of Liangshan really corrected their mistakes, and they no longer stole cattle to eat meat, but began to purchase ingredients from legal channels. As a result, Liangshanbo has restored its former harmony and tranquility.
However, this story also leaves us with a profound warning: at all times, we should abide by the law and moral norms, and we should not trample on the legal and moral bottom line because we are in a special environment or face special challenges. At the same time, we should also strengthen self-discipline and internal management to ensure that our actions are in line with social norms and the public interest.
Finally, we can't help but ask: in the context of the Song Dynasty's ban on the killing of cattle, why were the heroes of Liangshan able to eat beef casually, and what are the details and reasons behind this? Perhaps, this is the question that this story wants to provoke us to think deeply and explore. Through this story, we can gain a deeper understanding of the importance of law and morality, and how to uphold the bottom line of law and ethics in special circumstances.
