Shi Xiu
When Shi Xiu is brought before Liang Shijie, he berates the official in a booming voice, calling him "a slave of a slave's slave". Shocked by Shi's fearless look and defiant words, Liang decides to keep them alive as they could be used as bargaining chips if Liangshan attacks. After some fruitless battles with Daming, Liangshan sends some chieftains to infiltrate the city on the night of Lantern Festival. They break into the jail and rescue Shi and Lu.
