Li Kui's axe split Xiao Ya, this matter is uncivilized in any civilized era, no one will believe that a four- or five-year-old child can do anything harmful. Although Li Kui was hateful, Chao Gai, Song Jiang, Wu Yong, Lei Heng, and others who used this poisonous plan and boldly carried it out could not stay out of the matter, and Zhu Tong finally achieved the hidden achievement of "cornering" and could only be forced to liangshan.
When the governor of Cangzhou learned that his son was gone, he immediately wanted Zhu Tong, and it was obvious that as long as Zhu Tong entered Liangshan, the Cangzhou prefecture capital had no possibility of revenge. In the spin-off novel "Dang Kou Zhi", the author Yu Wanchun created a brother to Xiao Yanei, named Gai Tianxi. What the old father could not do, this eldest son chose to support the façade, surrounded and suppressed Liangshan with all the "Haojie", and personally captured Chai Jin alive.
Back to the book "Water Margin", many readers cannot understand Shi Nai'an's setting of the plot of Zhu Tong's ascension to the mountain, but if we combine the background of the times, we can simply infer that Li Kui's killing of Xiao Yanei should not only not be criticized, but also an act of eliminating harm for the people in advance.
Why?
This matter should start from Lin Chong, Lin Chong's character name first appeared in "Xuanhe Testament", but for Lin Chong's storyline, there is no book at all. And in the same "Water Margin" background "material" meta-miscellaneous drama, there is not much Lin Chong's drama, so what Lin Chong looks like, what is his personality, this is very imaginative. In "Water Margin", we can find that Lin Chong's personality is partial to elegance, and even elegant to some cowardice, but it is such a crepe-crepe person who actually has a "leopard head ring eyes" appearance, and this appearance is basically copied from the appearance of Zhang Yide in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", so it should belong to Lu Zhishen's nickname (Lu Zhishen is called "Leopard Monk" in the meta-miscellaneous drama), which is used on Lin Chong from the appearance.
The plot stories about Lin Chong in "Water Margin" are all extensions of the "Ya Nei Drama" in the meta-drama. The original intention of Yauchi is actually just the child of a high-ranking official or prefect, but the Yauchi in the meta-drama basically has the label of occupying the women of the people and taking the wives of others, for example
In "Cai Yanei's Wife Snatching", Cai Jing's son Cai Yanei is the prototype of Gao Yanei in "Water Margin"; in "Lu Zhi Deeply Loves Huang Huayu", another Cai Yanei robs Liu Qingfu's wife Li Younu; in "Black Whirlwind Double Dedication", Bai Yanei has an affair with Guo Nian'er, the wife of Sun Kongmu. It can be said that as long as there are characters in the meta-drama, they basically take the villain route.
Therefore, Lin Chong's bullying is also caused by Ya Nei, so Ya Nei itself is a derogatory term. Then let's look at the setting of Xiao Ya Nei, although it is only a child, according to the style of Ya Nei, this child must not be a good kind when he grows up.
Of course, this explanation is somewhat far-fetched, and everyone just laughs it off. Zhu Tong chose to go to Liangshan, and the bigger factor was to look at Song Jiang's face. As the person with the most drama in the whole book, Song Jiang has many controversies and contradictions, so in the next chapter we will study the contradictions set by Song Jiang.
