Biography
While travelling incognito as Yan Lie with Bao Xiruo, the Jin prince Wanyan Honglie found that the money in his room at a Jiaxing inn had vanished; it had been taken by Zhu Cong. When the inn’s waiter suggested he had abducted the woman, the prince beat him and a gang of ruffians, then sat waiting for the authorities. When the runners arrived, he told them to fetch Ge Yuncong, naming the prefect bluntly, and sent him a letter (ch. 2).
Ge Yuncong came at once in full official robes with Jiang Wentong, magistrate of Jiaxing County. Both knelt before the prince, introduced themselves as his lowly servants and begged pardon for not having come out to receive him. Ge Yuncong presented two trays, one of gold and one of silver, blaming himself for the theft, returned the letter respectfully and offered to have an official residence prepared. The prince preferred to stay at the inn and waved them away (ch. 2).
