Description
The story follows Prince Gong, who runs into a gang of robbers while on a hunt and is rescued by Wang Yingcai and Wenyong, who become the prince’s new recruits. The ambitious Wenyong fawns over the prince and becomes his godson, while Yingcai is despatched to Shanxi as a general. Wenyong has long harboured lascivious desires for Yingcai’s wife, Madam He, and on the pretext of seeing Yingcai off, pushes him into a river. Wenyong then visits the Wang family’s home, makes advances towards Madam He and injures Wang’s father in a fight. The family members flee and Wang’s father later dies from his injuries. The county prefect, who happens to be on an inspection round, takes up the case, but when he confronts Wenyong, he is killed in the Wang family’s home. Madam He flees amid the confusion. Meanwhile, Yingcai has luckily escaped death, and on his way home, rescues his drowning wife who has thrown herself into the river in desperation. The two file a complaint with the Imperial Commissioner, Prince Pingnan, who is on an official visit. However, Prince Gong wants to cover up for Wenyong, so Prince Pingnan sends Yingcai to search Prince Gong’s palace armed with the gold tablet bestowed on him by the late Emperor, that gives him authority to override any other orders or ranks. Wenyong is found hiding underground. Yingcai’s wrong is redressed and the family is re-united.
