In the classic ancient Chinese literature "Water Margin", Chao Gai's death has always been a thought-provoking mystery. Among the many clues, the process of Hua Rong shooting Chao Gai and the existence of a witness add a bit of mystery to this mystery. Today, we will try to unravel this mystery and analyze the reasons why that important witness did not report to Lin Chong.
First, let's review the process of Hua Rong shooting Chao Gai. On that stormy night, Chao Gai led all the heroes to attack Zengtou City, but in the chaos, a cold arrow suddenly shot from the shadows, hitting Chao Gai's front door. The arrow is engraved with the words "Shi Wengong", but the real murderer is actually Hua Rong. However, the secret was seen by an eyewitness.
This eyewitness, known as "Iron Named Zi Lehe", was one of the heroes of Liangshan, known for his superb light skills and keen observation. He witnessed the process of Hua Rong shooting Chao Gai, but he did not report it to Lin Chong. Why is that?
First of all, we need to understand the context of that era. Although the heroes of Liangshan are deeply righteous, they are not monolithic inside. Everyone has their own interests, some for righteousness, some for profit. And Chao Gai's death was the result of the internal power struggle in Liangshan. Lehe witnessed the whole process, and he knew that if this matter was made public, it would inevitably cause chaos within Liangshan, and might even trigger a large-scale civil war.
Secondly, the relationship between Le He and Hua Rong was also one of the reasons why he did not report to Lin Chong. Lehe and Hua Rong had known each other before Liangshan, and there was a deep friendship between the two. Lehe knows that Hua Rong is an upright person, and this action is also for the sake of Liangshan's future. Therefore, he was unwilling to betray his friends and chose to remain silent.
In addition, Lehe also thinks about its own safety. He knew that once the matter became public, he, as the only witness, would inevitably fall victim to the power struggle. In order to protect himself, he chose to remain silent and wait for the time to reveal the truth.
To sum up, the reason why Le He did not report to Lin Chong about the process of Hua Rong's shooting of Chao Gai was because he was well aware of the complex power struggle and personal interest entanglement behind this matter. Out of consideration for Liangshan's overall interests, his friendship with Hua Rong, and his concern for his own safety, he chose to remain silent. Although this decision is regrettable, it also reflects the complex character of Le He as a wise and brave Liangshan hero.
