History[edit | edit source]
In 215 BCE, Chu Huan and another one of Wei Yu's disciples sneaked into Yangzhou Palace and stole a chest according to intel provided by their informant Nie Jing that it contained a treasure stolen by corrupt officials from the people.[1] Nie Jing, secretly an agent for a shadowy faction within the Qin court,[2] then reported the theft to the Qin general Yang Duanhe, inciting him to retaliate against their home village Jade Spring nearby and all but destroying it. Among the casualties was Chu Huan.[3] Some of the residents, such as Fan Zeng and the chef Jiu Wei, survived because they were working in Yangzhou at the time while others fled there for refuge in the aftermath.[4]
Insistent on eradicating them all, Nie Jing tricked Yu Ying and the disciple who stole the treasure into gathering these survivors together at the rear city gate to plan their next steps. As soon as they met together, they were set upon by Duanhe's troops. Yu Ying's friend arrived too late to save them because they were away investigating General Meng Tian's role in their village's attack. Although Yu Ying and her friend slew all the ambushers, they became the only remaining survivors of Jade Spring.[5]
