According to legend, there was an honest official named Liang Tianyu in Shanxi during the Guangzong period of the Ming Dynasty. Because of the local famine, the people couldn't eat, so he ordered the reduction of taxes and public grain, so that the people could save some food for themselves without paying taxes and worrying about starvation.
There is another traitor named Li Zhen Black. Not long ago, at his birthday party, Liang Tianyu didn't give him a gift, and now he is still thinking about these poor people, which is simply a slap in the face. So he told the emperor that Tian was going to rebel, and this beautified Sect was incompetent. Hearing this, he was frightened and immediately ordered the Liang family to be beheaded.
The emperor didn't know how Liang Tianyu became an official, and the people and officers and men knew it! In order not to let Zhongliang die, kind officers and men secretly released Mrs Liang and her son Liang Xiao. The mother and son fled to a far, far place, and only after asking did they know that they had come to Shandong. In order not to be discovered by the government, they built a thatched cottage at the foot of a mountain called Beishan.
Mother and son go up the mountain every day to collect herbs and firewood and sell them in the market, but they are still hungry. On this day, Liang Xiao went up the mountain to collect herbs, but the weather suddenly changed and a snowstorm blew. Liang Xiaoyi accidentally slipped in a small ravine. It's a small ravine, actually it's quite deep. When he stood up, he saw a small snake under him. Liang Xiao said to himself, "Did you save me?"
Unexpectedly, the little snake turned three times around the beam and got into his sleeve again. Soon a voice came from the sleeve and said, "Brother Liang, you saved me!" "
Liang Xiao was a little scared after hearing this, but considering that they all fell into this small ravine, it was fate, so he planned to keep this little snake. Strangely, since raising a talking snake, mother and son Liang have gained a lot every time they go up the mountain. Half a year later, one day Liang Xiao came back glumly.
It turned out that there was a notice posted on the street saying that the emperor was seriously ill and needed three tablets of Long Lin for treatment. All those who offer Long Lin, high officials and generous people, have all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry. Liang Xiao thinks this is an excellent opportunity. Although he didn't want to be an official or get rich, he never forgot to avenge his father. Unfortunately, he didn't know where he got three long forests.
At this moment, the little snake spoke. He said he was Xiao Qinglong, the son of the Dragon King. Half a year ago, he slipped into the ravine because of his fun, and he was about to freeze to death. Liang Xiao fell and warmed him with his body, saving his life. After knowing that Liang Xiao's father was victimized by a traitor, he turned himself into a little dragon, cut down three long forests, and sent Liang Xiao to Beijing to present a treasure, so he must avenge his father.
Young Liang Longlin gave it to the emperor, who soon recovered. As soon as he was happy, he rewarded Liang Xiaojin with countless silver treasures and sealed his official residence. This is the best time for Liang Xiao to get revenge, but Liang Xiao is blinded by wealth and has long forgotten the grievances of his poor old mother and father.
On one occasion, Li Zhen invited Liang Xiao to drink, but Liang Xiao inadvertently told the story of revenge for his father. After hearing this, Li Zhen black was frightened to disgrace. Unexpectedly, Liang Xiao was framed by him, which led to Liang Tianyu's son, so he killed Liang Xiao when he was drunk and hid him.
After Liang Xiao's death, Xiao Qinglong recognized Liang Mu as his mother and took care of her old man's house. However, she was weak because she lost three dragons. When she thought that Liang Xiao was an unacknowledged villain, her body became more and more broken.
On this day, he felt that his time had come, so he took Liang Mu to a jujube tree and said, "Old lady, after I die, you will bury me under this jujube tree. After pouring it, someone will support the elderly. "
After the death of Xiaoqinglong, mother Liang buried it under a jujube tree, which soon grew into a big tree, surrounded by jujube trees, and ten big dates were born on the jujube tree that buried Xiaoqinglong. One day, these ten big dates fell to the ground and became ten urchins, kneeling on the ground and calling for mother Liang.
Year after year, mother Liang raised ten children, and they gave birth to another child. Mother Liang told them to be conscientious and cherish their friendship. Liang's ancestral teachings have been passed down from generation to generation. In the end, they formed a village here, named "Zaozhuang", and loyalty and friendship became the character of Zaozhuang people all their lives.
