On October 8, Gu Du Puppet Theatre brings《三俠五義之鍘龐昱》to Lianhua Temple in Taoyuan. The dispute begins with relief grain. Pang Yu, sent to distribute it, keeps it for himself and abuses the people he was supposed to help. Local officials fear his connections. The people take their complaint to Judge Bao.

Then his father produces an imperial token that protects his son from execution. Bao has an imperial sword of his own. Both men claim imperial authority. The people still need their case heard.
