'Libie Gou' is a hook-shaped weapon. It was an unusual
weapon employed by the protagonist of this story, Yang Jheng, working as a head constable.
It starts with a murder case, and the murderer Di Cinglin
is a Marquis. Because his girl friend knew of this thing, he also killed his girl friend.
But when Ruyu, a good female companion of his girl friend, found the girl's body, she
thought Di Cinglin was responsible for this, then she passed this information to Yang
Jheng.
Yang was very busy. He had just stopped a wugong contest
between two top martial arts masters Ying Wuwu and Lan Yichen, Ying is Di Cinglin's
teacher and Lan is Yang Jheng's father's best friend. Then he led his fellow constables to
arrest the infamous robber Ni Ba and brought back a huge amount of stolen money. However
the money lost again and two of his subordinates in charge of carrying the money also
disappeared. Although Yang was suspected of stealing the money, his head office backed him
up.
Then Yang turned to Ruyu. He thought Ruyu's life was in
danger so he took Ruyu to his father's old place. His father died and left him the strange
weapon Libie Gou. He uses this weapon to punish evil.
The Marquis Di Cinglin committed another unforgivable
murder; he killed his teacher Ying Wuwu because he thought that he had learned everything
from his teacher already. At the same time Yang got the information that the stolen money
was in Di's storage room. So he called on Di's huge manor. Di admitted the crimes, but he
refused to surrender. He was very contemptuous of Yang's wugong and Yang's background;
Yang's father was an ill-famed thief. So he thought that he could easily smash Yang. When
his sword pinned down one of Yang's arms, he believed that Yang was under his control.
However Yang used the Libie Gou to cut free his pinned down arm, and, before Di could
recover from what happened in front of his eyes, Yang's Libie Guo sliced Di's throat.
