One day, when he heard that several local gentry had gathered together, he asked the foreign ministers for money. None of them wanted to mess with him, so they each gave him two pieces of silver. It happened that the scoundrel had a big appetite. He walked up to a member named Zhang, and the lion asked him for 220 yuan. Member Zhang naturally refused to give it. At this time, he said to member Zhang, "Other members have nothing to do, but you have something to do. Don't wait for me to say it. Not good-looking. " Mr. Zhang had a ghost in his heart, so he had to give him 220 silver obediently. Whether Mr. Zhang has anything to do with the murder is another matter.
