Chinese Traditional Story: Zhao Kuangyin's Tabard(2)
As for the Song army, they hadn't been able to capture the city for several months, and many soldiers had died in battle, causing a shortage of food and supplies. Zhao Kuangyin was extremely upset when he heard that the granary's grain was mysteriously disappearing and suspected someone stealing military grain. Upon hearing the news, Zhao Kuangyin was furious and ordered the soldiers to guard the granary tightly, and also to give an order to execute the thief once being caught. However, despite the heavy guard around the granary, the food continued to diminish. Eventually, General Wang Quanbin came up with an idea of setting up a net above the granary. As a result, Monkey Boy was caught. Lingzhi quickly grabbed something and rushed to the Song army camp. After running for more than ten miles, she saw her son, bare-chested and tied up, kneeling on a dirt platform from a distance.
