Summary "九命奇冤" by Jianren Wu is a fictional novel written in the late 19th century. The story appears to revolve around a group of bandits attempting to breach a stronghold, indicating a plot filled with intrigue and action. As the narrative unfolds, it hints at broader themes of crime, justice, and perhaps the consequences of one's actions, inviting readers to explore the motives behind the criminal activities. The opening of the novel sets the stage with a chaotic and comedic scene where bandits are attempting to break into a fortified place, illustrating their various failed attempts and comical discussions about how to proceed. Various characters, including a leader named Lin, showcase their desperate ingenuity to open a formidable stone prison while revealing their motivations for the break-in.
