Story:
Once upon a time, in Yongzhou, there was a man who was particularly fond of rats. He forbade his family and subordinates from catching them, allowing them to run rampant in his house, gnawing through granaries and clothes. He also frequently provided food for the rats.
Soon, large groups of rats from nearby gathered at his home, causing a severe rat infestation. His neighbors deeply resented his behavior of condoning and fostering evil.
