Idiom story

At the end of the spring and Autumn period, Fan Li, a native of the state of Chu, made great contributions to the restoration of King Gou Jian of Yue. He was worried that Gou Jian would kill him for an excuse, so he fled to Dingtao and changed his name to do business on the spot. His youngest son was arrested for murder in the state of Chu. He thought that Qianjin's son should not be exposed to the public, so he sent his eldest son to ask Chuang Sheng to intercede with the king of Chu. After the event, he wanted the gold back. The king of Chu was angry and killed his younger brother.
