Jiang Li said, "There is no rush. Slapping faces should, of course, be done in front of a big crowd. But you are right, Chongxu Daoist Master was indeed a charlatan from the martial arts world."
Zhao Ke was quick and efficient in gathering information. Although Chongxu Daoist Master had some fame in Yanjing City, years ago, he actually came to Yanjing because of a murder charge he was fleeing from. Back in his hometown, he was involved with a married woman, and when her husband discovered them, a dispute arose during which he killed the man. He and the woman buried the husband and fled overnight. He changed his name and laid low on the road until he came across the wandering Daoist Chongxu, under whose tutelage he pretended to pursue the way of Daoism.
