Abandoning virtue and ungrateing wealth and harming life and disasters follow

During the reign of Emperor Xiaozhuang of the Northern Wei Dynasty, there was a vassal Erzhu Rong, who was powerful and even though he lived in a fiefdom outside the capital, he could still control the government from afar.Emperor Xiaozhuang was worried and followed the advice of King Hui of Chengyang. When Erzhu Rong entered the court, he stabbed him to death to prevent future troubles.

Unexpectedly, after Erzhu Rong's death, his nephew Erzhu Zhao, the governor of Fenzhou, set up an army to attack Luoyang, and wanted to kill Wei Lord Xiaozhuang. Emperor Zhuang ordered Chengyang Wang Hui to command the inside and outside. Wang Hui was ordered to be frightened and did not know where to go, so he secretly sorted out his property and planned to escape. At this time, the Lord of Wei found that he could do nothing and wanted to leave. Outside Yunlong Gate, he met Chengyang Wang Hui was riding a horse. The Lord of Wei called out several times, but Wang Hui turned around and left. The Lord of Wei was finally captured and killed by Erzhu Zhao.

King Hui of Chengyang fled to Shannan and arrived at the home of Kou Zuren, the magistrate of Luoyang County. Kou Zuren's family had three officials in the governor. They were all promoted by King Hui of Chengyang that year. Because of this old favor, they came to surrender.Although Hui had 100 kilograms of gold and 50 horses around him, Kou Zuren was confused by these wealth and forgot his old kindness. Although he was on the surface, he said to his children in private: "I heard that Erzhu Zhao is now offering a high reward, buying the head of Chengyang King Hui, and getting his head, you can be rewarded. Thousands of royal families, wealth and honor have come to my house today..."Kou Zuren thought this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and was extremely happy, so he deceived and intimidated, and said to Hui: "Erzhu Zhao's pursuit of subordinates is coming, so it's better to escape from other places and hide."Hui Xin thought it was true and hurriedly left, but Kou Zuren ordered people to stop and kill halfway and presented his head to Erzhu Zhao. Unexpectedly, Erzhu Zhao did not give Kou Zuren any rewards.

Soon, Erzhu Zhao dreamed that Hui told him, "I have 200 kilograms of gold and 100 horses. You can go and collect it at Kou Zuren's house."Zhao Xing realized that what he dreamed was true, so he went to arrest Zuren and asked about the golden horse. Zuren thought that someone had reported it, so he sincerely obeyed when he saw Zhao, and gave him 100 kilograms of gold and 50 horses. Zhao suspected that Zuren had hidden something else and forced him to hand over it according to the number of dreams. Zuren had no choice but to give away his old gold and 30 horses. Zhao still didn't believe it, so he arrested Zuren and hung it on a high tree to torture it. Suddenly, the mountain and big stone fell down, and the big tree overwhelmed, and Zuren was finally hit and killed by the big stone.

Alas! Taking advantage of others' danger, he will ignorant of his heart and seize wealth, and will not be able to protect it. He will also pay his own wealth and life. The retribution is ingenious and unhappy at all. (《History Induction )
