It is said that during the Guangxu period of the former Qing Dynasty, Dai Tianli (played by Wei Zi), the young master of the Dai family who lived in Chengde, Rehe, was really a man who was not afraid of anything, and was upright and upright. Back then, he killed two foreigners and became a wanted criminal. He fled from his hometown to take refuge when the city was in turmoil. In the blink of an eye, the Qing Dynasty stretched out its legs and closed its eyes, and the Republic of China appeared in glory. Tianli returned to Rehe, where his father was almost shot, his master had his hamstring broken by his fellow disciple Na Tulu, and the infatuated girl Na Suzhi was waiting hard for Tianli to come back to get married. This man really had no time to spare. To add to the chaos, Tianli is related to the "Pole Gang" composed of beggars. It turns out that Brother Hou, who killed the foreign devils with him back then, was the leader of the Gangzi Gang. Before his death, Hou gave the gang's token dog-beating stick to Tianli's hands. Dai Tianli unknowingly became the leader of the gang, and in the chaotic years that followed, he would use the dog-beating stick in his hand to compose a passionate and upright heroic legend...
