Lu Zhishen
Lu Zhishen goes to Huayin County to invite Shi Jin and his gang at Mount Shaohua to join Liangshan. At Mount Shaohua, he is told that Shi is caught by Prefect He of Huazhou when he tried to rescue a woman the official has abducted in his desire to make her his concubine. Lu goes to Huazhou alone to rescue Shi, but he is spotted behaving strangely in a crowd by He when he contemplates assassinating the official upon running into his entourage. Prefect He lures him into his office where he is ambushed and seized too. Mount Shaohua turns to Liangshan for help. The Liangshan outlaws rush to Huazhou, lure Prefect He out of the city and kill him. They enter Huazhou and save Lu Zhishen and Shi Jin.
