It is said that Wu Song, the brave Liangshan hero, who hated evil and possessed superb martial arts, once heard that the tavern near Jingyang Hill had been occupied by the bully Jiang Menshen, and the owner Shi En was forced to seek help from Wu Song. Wu Song was filled with righteous indignation after hearing this, and he knew that Jiang Menshen was abusing his power, and his actions were of great significance, so he decided to step forward and eliminate harm for the people. He went to Kuaihuolin and had a thrilling fight with Jiang Menshen. With his superb martial arts and extraordinary courage, Wu Song finally defeated Jiang Menshen and not only recovered the tavern for Shi En, but also freed the local people from oppression. This incident became a local legend, and Wu Song's heroic deeds were once again widely praised. Since then, no one dared to abuse their power in the Jingyang Hill area.
