Next up: From a mutton soup shop on the northwestern border where his entire family was exterminated thirteen years ago, to Linqing Prefecture in Shandong, and on to Mount Cuifeng in Zhejiang, He Fangzhi crosses north and south. On the road to revenge, He Fangzhi senses that his opponents all seem to be men of honor and deep righteousness—men who appear to be risking everything to protect the true architect of the tragedy...
