The biggest thief in the Qing Dynasty, how did he steal money from the state treasury, worth tens of millions, and take it out on Emperor Jiaqing?
There was such a thief in the Qing Dynasty. He didn't steal some simple folk treasures. He targeted the treasure of the national treasury and even stole tens of millions of silver in three years. He colluded with several officials to make people forge documents, then forge the seal of the Ministry of Industry, and then the thief took it.

The biggest thief in Qing Dynasty was Cai Yongshou. Surprisingly, he is not an official, nor a local strongman, but just an ordinary people. He is the mastermind of stealing the emperor's "wallet". So what is the cause of this incident? Where on earth did you get this idea?

It started in the 11th year of Jiaxing. On this day, Song, who served as a courier in the Ministry of Industry, came to Cai Yongshou's house to drink and eat, and all the shopkeepers followed. After drinking too much wine, Cai Yongshou said that his current economic situation is too bad to open a pot at home. These shopkeepers also began to vomit that the wages given by the court were too small to support their families. At this time, Cai Yongshou put forward a bold idea.

Is to take money from the state treasury and make these shopkeepers ready to move. Cai Yongshou began to arrange for Song to forge documents and then gave them to Yu Hengsi in the name of the Ministry of Industry. Later, he colluded with officials of Yuheng Company to make them forge seals. Finally, let the protagonist Cai Yong receive it.

A few years later, these thieves managed to steal a lot of money. Of course, the end result was caught. Emperor Jiaqing was so angry that he put them to death and showed them in the street.
