About This Book

A traveling martial hero intervenes when a couple, Zhao Sheng and his wife Sun Cui'e, are seized after being framed by a powerful local bully and his official allies. He learns their story, lends money to repay the imposed debt, and shelters them at an inn. When retainers attack, he protects Sun with decisive force, notably lifting a massive stone to intimidate the assailants. He then escorts the couple to the county to clear the case, pays the fine that ends the proceedings, and entrusts a sealed letter and funds for delivery to his brother in the southwest, creating obligations that propel the plot forward.
