There is a group of green forest heroes with high martial arts on Liangshan Mountain, they punish rape and eliminate evil, they do the right thing for heaven, it seems that this is the impression that most people have of Liangshan heroes, in fact, they are not so "pure" in the original book.
There are indeed good people like Lu Zhishen who will help each other when they see injustice, but most of them are not very good, and some of them should even be the target of being killed by the heroes of Liangshan.
For example, Zhang Qing and his wife, who opened a black shop in Cross Slope, and Wang Ying, the "bantam tiger" who was a bully and bullied men and women in Qingfeng Mountain, and Li Kui, the murderous "black whirlwind", which one is not a crime and deserves death.

So it is not so much that there is a group of heroes gathered on Liangshan, but it is better to say that there are a group of ruthless people entrenched, but among these ruthless people, there is also such a fool, he abandons the beautiful woman, is not greedy for glory and wealth, and lives to the bottom in the end.
1. The fool on Liangshan
In fact, this can be seen from the experience of core characters such as Lin Chong, Wu Song, and Lu Zhishen, but some heroes are not, their characters are more pure.
For example, Shi Jin, the "Nine-Pattern Dragon", as the first hero to appear in the book and later went to Liangshan, his character design is very pure.
Said yes: "The old man's son has not been engaged in agriculture since he was a child, but only loves to stab guns and make sticks." His mother said he couldn't, and he vomited and died. The old man had to follow his temperament, and he didn't know how much money he had made, so he voted for the master to teach him. He also invited a master craftsman to tattoo this embroidery with him, there are always nine dragons on his shoulders, arms and chests, and the people of the county are shun, and they all call him to do the nine-pattern dragon Shi Jin. ”

To put it bluntly, this buddy was originally a child of a big family, if there was no accident, he could have lived a life without worrying about food and clothing, but he admired the heroes of the green forest, that is, some rebellious young people today, just fell into the grass, and Shi Jin was also very righteous and stuck a knife in his brother's ribs.
In this world where everyone only talks about interests, a pure person like Shi Jin looks very stupid.
However, Shi Jin is not the stupidest, because another good man on Liangshan gave up more than him, and that person is the "prodigal son" Yan Qing.
2. I don't love beauty, I only love my brother
Yan Qing is a more stupid person than Shi Jin, as mentioned above, the "stupid" here can also be understood as more pure.
Yan Qing appeared as Lu Junyi's servant, but he said that he was a servant, Yan Qing was more like he respected Lu Junyi as his father, and he thought about Lu Junyi everywhere, so when he found out that Lu Junyi's wife Jia was colluding with the housekeeper Li Gu, he immediately told Lu Junyi, but others were soft-spoken, and Lu Junyi was counted down, and even became a beggar.
It stands to reason that a servant cares about his master to such an extent that he is already benevolent and righteous, but Yan Qing did not blame Lu Junyi, but chose to help Lu Junyi when he was in trouble, and later went to Liangshan with Lu Junyi, his purity has been reflected at this time, it can be said that he is causing a fuss for his master, he could have retired early and lived an ordinary life.

But who would have thought that he would be more pure later.
For the sake of Liangshan's great cause of recruiting peace, he went to contact the most famous Qinglou woman Li Shishi, since she is the most famous one, the woman is naturally like a fairy, at least it is written in the book: "The eyebrows are hanging down and the clouds are blue, and the eyes are bright and the autumn water is overflowing." The phoenix shoes are half-folded with a small bow, and the warbler whispers delicately. Cut clouds and fog shirts to wear, and the waist is just a stretch. The peach blossom is the face and the jade is the muscle, and it takes all the effort to describe it. ”
But Yan Qing kept his senses, in the eighty-first chapter of the original work, Master Li even proposed to see Yan Qing's embroidery, do you see how he did it?
The book only said: "Master Li holds the cup, returns to the wine with Yan Qing, and sings the song." There was some bewitching coughing in his mouth, to provoke Yan Qing. Yan Qing lowered her head tightly, just promised. After a few cups, Master Li smiled and said, "I heard that my brother is good at embroidery, how about I want to take a look?" Yan Qing smiled and said: "Although the villain's cheap body is a little embroidery, how dare you pull your clothes naked in front of the lady!" 'Three times or five times, I will definitely ask for it.' Yan Qing only took off his shirt. Master Li saw it and was very happy. put a pointed jade hand and touched him. Yan Qing hurriedly put on her clothes. ”

In this land of fireworks, Master Li is so active, she wants to see what Yan Qing's embroidery means, needless to say, Yan Qing has the slightest evil thoughts, I am afraid that I will follow Master Li's wishes, but he didn't do it, because he knew that Master Li was the bridge between Liangshan and the imperial court, and he would not ruin the future of his brothers because of his own selfish desires.
is different from the TV series, Yan Qing did not retire with Master Li, and they are at most just a sister and brother relationship.
3. Don't be greedy for official positions, just seek leisure
In the follow-up expedition, Yan Qing also contributed his own strength, and made many achievements, but when Liangshan returned from the expedition to Fangla, he had the intention of retiring, because he knew that all the birds were flying, and the good bow was hidden, especially a top powerhouse like his master Lu Junyi, I was afraid that it would be difficult to escape death.
So Yan Qing took the initiative to persuade Lu Junyi to leave, but the conversation between the two broke up unhappily.
The book only said: "Lu Junyi said: 'Yan Qing, I have never had the slightest dissent, how can the court bear me?' Yan Qing said: 'Didn't the master hear that Han Xin had made ten great achievements, and he was only beheaded in front of Weiyang Palace. Peng Yuejiao is meat sauce, Yingbu bowstring medicinal wine. Lord, you can think, disaster is coming. Lu Junyi said: "I heard Han Xin, Sanqi claimed to be the king without authorization, and taught Chen Feng to rebel; Peng Yue killed his family, and the Great Liang did not go to Gaozu; Yingbu Jiujiang was appointed to seek the Han Emperor's country. In this way, Emperor Han Gao deceived Yunmeng and ordered Empress Lu to behead him. Though I have never been so guilty, I have never been guilty of such sin. Yan Qing said: "Since the lord doesn't listen to Xiao Yi's words, I'm afraid that it will be too late to regret it." Xiao Yi was going to resign from Song Xianxian, he was a righteous person, and he would not let go. Just say goodbye to the lord. ’”

Not to mention that the heroes of Liangshan are all people who value love and righteousness, at least Yan Qing really can't find fault in this regard, and even he and Lu Junyi are not brothers, just master and servant, there is always a gap in identity, he can do this, he is really benevolent and righteous.
If you want to talk about the stupidest and purest hero on Liangshan, it should be this prodigal son Yanqing.
