Story:
In the late Tang Dynasty, Le Congxun, son of Le Yanzhen, often consorted with dissolute companions, gathering them to cause trouble. He bribed a singing girl of Commander Wang Duo, then led a band of desperadoes to murder Wang Duo's entire family and seize their gold and silver treasures.
When Le Yanzhen served as the governor of Xiangzhou, Le Congxun grew even more audacious, indiscriminately slaughtering innocent people. Before long, Le Yanzhen died of anger, exasperated by his son's atrocities.
Subsequently, Luo Hongxin led an army to suppress and eliminate Le Congxun and his entire ruthless gang of desperadoes.
