This man's name is Tianxin Kang. Because he ranks eighth in the family, some people call him Kang Xiaoba. However, Tianxin Kang has a good reputation in the Jianghu, so he is regarded as Master Kang by those Jianghu people. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the imperial court was corrupt, and thousands of people lived a lifeless life because of the excessive taxes and levies imposed by the imperial court. In order to survive, people have some bold choices to become outlaws and make a living through this unprofitable business. Kang Laoba was a famous Jiang Yang thief in the late Qing Dynasty.
Tianxin Kang has been practicing martial arts since childhood. Ordinary people can't get close to him In the late Qing Dynasty, foreign guns prevailed again. Kang Tianxin was so happy that he finally bought a revolver in the hands of a Japanese at a large price. Since then, Kang Tianxin has become more powerful. After recruiting, he took his younger brother to run amok between Beijing and Tianjin.
Kang Tianxin, who was born in poverty, is a deep pain to those local tyrants and rich gentry. Therefore, his main target is these prominent families. However, Kang Tianxin, who holds the right of relief, does not sympathize with those poor people. As long as he is offended, he will rob money if he has money, and kill if he has no money. As long as it is a woman he likes, it will be taken away and become a tool for him to vent his desires.
Day after day, Tianxin Kang became more and more arrogant because of his repeated battles and victories, and even played the court's idea. That year, Kang Tianxin's "business" was not very good. When I was about to go down the mountain to do something, I happened to know that the imperial court's money car was going to pass through here, so the bold Kang Tianxin turned his attention to the money car. However, many mountains make a tiger. Knowing that Kang Tianxin had two brushes, Manchu invited two martial artists to deal with Tianxin Kang. Finally, Kang Tianxin lost to the Nets.
Because Kang Tianxin was vicious, he was sentenced to death by the Manchu court. But that's not all. On the eve of her beheading, Empress Dowager Cixi, the supreme ruler of the Qing Dynasty, was very interested in Tianxin Kang, and she also wanted to see this figure that gave her a headache. Unexpectedly, after seeing Cixi, Kang Tianxin did not kneel for mercy. On the contrary, he said a word that was highly praised by later gangsters: grab the "imperial fence" if you want to grab it; Rape the imperial concubine if you want to rape her! . Cixi was furious and immediately changed Kang Tianxin's punishment from beheading to death in that year.
Tianxin Kang said nothing at the end of the year, which shocked the executioner. Shortly thereafter, the Manchu dynasty was overthrown. Tianxin Kang also became the last prisoner to be sentenced to one year's imprisonment. Imagine that if Kang Tianxin was arrested after the collapse of the Qing Dynasty, he would not be so cruelly punished.
