Shi Jin
One day a hunter discovers a reply letter from the bandits accepting an invitation by Shi Jin to attend a festive gathering at his house. The matter is reported to the authorities, which send an arrest party to Shi's house on the night of the gathering. Finding his manor besieged, Shi Jin burns it down and fights his way out with the three bandit chiefs. At Mount Shaohua, Zhu Wu asks Shi to take over from him as chief, but the offer is turned down. However, Shi eventually comes to head the stronghold after he failed to find his teacher Wang Jin at Weizhou.
