Summary "九命奇冤" by Jianren Wu is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story appears to revolve around themes of robbery and intrigue, focusing on characters involved in a heist led by a man named Lin, who devises various plans to enter a fortified location while aiming to carry out a sinister act. The narrative sets the stage for a complex tale of crime, personal motives, and societal reflections in a time known for its corruption. The opening of this novel introduces a group of robbers who are attempting to break into a stone prison to carry out their nefarious plans, led by the determined Lin. As they struggle with various obstacles, such as iron barriers and a debate over how to overcome them, the atmosphere becomes chaotic with their loud discussions and preparations. Their motivations unfold as they express not just a desire for wealth, but a deeper complexity involving revenge against the inhabitants of the prison. Through this lively scene, the author hints at a larger narrative filled with unexpected twists and the potential for considerable moral examination in a world rife with crime and corruption.
