In this episode, Shillin decides to rob travelers on the mountain road to obtain money and resources for himself and his parents. Despite encountering several potential targets, he ultimately refrains from robbing them due to their apparent poverty or virtuous nature. However, when he finally attempts to rob a wealthy-looking man, he is caught by a group of heavenly officials who recognize him as the crown prince. Although the officials promise not to reveal his identity, Shillin is deeply ashamed and regretful for his actions.
