Pei Ruhai

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pei Ruhai is a character in the epic Chinese tale, the Water Margin. Pei was a monk who indulged in sexual activities and was best known for his affair with eventual Liangshan bandit Yang Xiong's wife Pan Qiaoyun.

Shi Xiu, sworn brother to Yang, found out about the adulterous affair and tried to inform Yang about it. Yang, however, chose to believe his wife instead, who accused Shi of molesting her. Yang chased Shi out of his house in anger. Later, Pei Ruhai was killed by Shi Xiu in righteous anger and the whole affair became clear when Pan Qiaoyun confessed everything upon realising that her lover had been killed.
