Meet the new Lin Chong, stabber of hearts, remover of heads, and burner of old men’s beards.

A look at the growth of Buddhism during the Northern Song and the religion's relationship with the imperial government.

Just as Lin Chong starts to settle into his new life at the penal colony, his past pays him a visit.

Lin Chong finds out first-hand that cash really does rule everything around you, especially when you’re caught up in the ancient Chinese legal system.

Shady backroom deals, morally flexible guards, and a stretch of dodgy woods: Things are not looking good for Lin Chong.

Lin Chong buys a shiny new toy, and then discovers he got sold out.

We see how the "throw Lu Zhishen into a fecal pond" plan turns out, and then watch as he turns pest removal into a Strongest Man event.
