Robbing The Convoy of Birthday Gifts
Gongsun Sheng joins Chao Gai, Wu Yong, Liu Tang and the three Ruan brothers to form the "Righteous Seven". They disguise themselves as date traders and succeed in robbing the convoy of birthday gifts intended for the Imperial Tutor Cai Jing. The seven men are wanted by the authorities for the robbery and have no choice but to flee to Liangshan Marsh for refuge. Chao Gai replaces the incompetent and selfish Wang Lun as chief of Liangshan after the latter is killed by Lin Chong on Wu Yong's instigation. Gongsun Sheng takes his place as the third leader of Liangshan.

Famous quotes containing the words robbing the, robbing, convoy and/or birthday:
“To throw obstacles in the way of a complete education is like putting out the eyes; to deny the rights of property is like cutting off the hands. To refuse political equality is like robbing the ostracized of all self-respect, of credit in the market place, of recompense in the world of work, of a voice in choosing those who make and administer the law, a choice in the jury before whom they are tried, and in the judge who decides their punishment.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
