Meeting Song Jiang
Xue Yong travels to Jieyang to sell medicine and he offends the Mu brothers (Mu Hong and Mu Chun), the most influential men in town, by failing to acknowledge their presence. The Mu brothers order the townsfolk watching Xue Yong's performance not to pay him or buy his drugs. At the same time, Song Jiang passes by Jieyang on his way to exile in Jiangzhou (present-day Jiangxi). He was watching the performance and he pays Xue Yong five silver taels, completely ignoring the Mu brothers' words. Mu Chun is furious and he wants to hit Song Jiang but Xue Yong intervenes and defeats Mu in a fight.
Xue Yong befriends Song Jiang and intends to join him on the trip to Jiangzhou. He returns to the inn and packs his belongings. Unexpectedly, Mu Chun arrives with his brother and a group of lackeys. They capture Xue Yong and beat him up severely before locking him up. They go on to pursue Song Jiang.
Song Jiang boards the pirate Zhang Heng's boat by mistake and he is almost robbed and killed by Zhang. Luckily, Li Jun arrives in the nick of time and he saves Song Jiang. Li Jun introduces Song Jiang to Zhang Heng and the Mu brothers. They are shocked to recognise him as the famous philanthropist and apologise to him. They become friends after that and Xue Yong is released as well.
