Encounter With Lu Zhishen
Zhou Tong attempts to force Squire Liu's daughter to marry him. Coincidentally, Lu Zhishen is seeking shelter in Squire Liu's manor and he decides to help Liu deal with the overbearing bandit leader. Lu Zhishen lies in ambush inside the bride's room and catches Zhou Tong off guard in the dark and gives him a good beating. Zhou Tong escapes back to his stronghold and complains to Li Zhong. Li Zhong leads his men to confront Lu Zhishen and the conflict is diffused when Li discovers that Lu is actually an old acquaintance. Li Zhong succeeds in helping Lu Zhishen persuade Zhou Tong to give up on Squire Liu's daughter. Lu Zhishen stays with Li Zhong and Zhou Tong at their stronghold for a few days before leaving.
