Chao Gai's death was full of doubts, and Jin Sheng sighed after reading all the strange places before and after Chao Gai's death, and determined that Song Jiang was the black hand behind the scenes: "In several articles above, every time the army is moved, Chao Gai will be able to do it, and Song Jiang will urge it." Song Jiang was not persuaded to go alone, and Chao Gai also died. The whole passage is written in deep verse to deeply understand the Song River's chaos cover. ”
Lie don't hide from the townspeople, Song Jiang's ghost tricks, can only hide from the simple-minded grass hero like Ruan Sanxiong, Lu Zhi Shen WuSong and other people even if they know it, they will not care about themselves and hang high, this can be understood, but The leopard head Lin Chong, who was rated as a "poisonous person" by Jin Shengsi, knew that Song Jiang was secretly poisoned, but why didn't he kill Song Jiang to avenge Chao Gai? Of course, the reasons for this are very complicated, the author is short-sighted, only analyzed three reasons, exact or not, but also to remind the reader to discern.
In Jin Shengsi's eyes, the leopard head Lin Chong was second only to the walker Wu Song: "Lin Chong, the poisonous man, see if he can calculate, survive, hold it firmly, do it thoroughly, and make people afraid." Such a person in the world, will do a career, but there are also a lot of vitality. ”
Calculate, survive, hold firm, do thoroughly, Lin Chong is deep and ruthless, this evaluation is not too prestigious, he can endure it, when he can't bear it, it is also a plan and then move, moving like thunder. When he was forced into a corner by Gao Li's father and son and there was no way back, he shot like Wu Song: "Cha Pu was climbing up to leave, Lin Chong held down, cut off his head, and picked it up on the gun." He came back and cut off the heads of Fu'an and Lu Qian, inserted the sharp knife, knotted the hair of the three people, and carried them into the temple, and placed them on the table in front of the mountain god. ”
In the dark night wind and snow, in the eerie mountain temple, there were three human heads tied together on the offering table, Lin Chong looked at ease to put on the felt hat and drink the cold wine in the gourd, which did not hurry to fly away, and the people who rushed to fight the fire did not see that Lin Chong's look was half abnormal.
Such a calm and almost ruthless character, in the Battle of Zengtou City, had already seen that the two monks of the Fahua Temple were not authentic, and after Chao Gai was hit by an arrow, without waiting for Song Jiang's order, he urged the withdrawal of troops back to Liangshan, which showed that Lin Chong had seen a lot of problems, but there was no conclusive evidence, so he did not break out.
After Lu Junyi captured Shi Wengong alive, Lin Chong finally launched the ultimate investigation, and told the results of the investigation to the big knife Guan Sheng, who relayed it to Song Jiang: "According to Lin Chong's brother, after catching Shi Wengong, he once paid attention to the checkpoint, and none of the arrows in his pot had a name engraved on it. Moreover, the engraved arrow did not match the length of the bow worn by Shi Wengong. ”
Guan Sheng relayed Lin Chong's investigation results, not in the popular version of "Water Margin", but in the "Water Margin" the best sequel to "Residual Water Margin", this book is written in a reasonable way, and the first seventy times of "Water Margin" to achieve seamless docking, the book's description of Lin Chong's case is also completely in line with the rules of the jianghu, even we know: a super-first-class master like Shi Wengong is disdainful of feeding poison on the arrow, because that is the usual means of the five disciplines under the jianghu. Shi Wengong could defeat The Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming, one of the Five Tiger Generals of the Liangshan Horse Army, and pick him off his horse in twenty rounds, how could he play the trick of flea on the drum?
Lin Chong is the leader of the 800,000 Forbidden Army, he is a martial arts expert, and he also has contacts with jianghu figures, naturally knowing that jianghu Haojie also has his own pride, he will not believe that Shi Wengong's arrows are poisonous, nor will he believe that Shi Wengong's arrows will be engraved with names - that will affect the accuracy.
Lin Chong knew that Song Jiang was not authentic, but still after Chao Gai's death, he joined hands with Wu Yong to push Song Jiang to the top of the table, the reason for this is very intriguing, and this may also be the first reason why Lin Chong did not avenge Chao Gai: Song Jiang was the lord of Liangshan, which was more beneficial to Lin Chong and Wu Yong - Song Jiang could accept Zhao An and lead everyone to live a good life, and Chao Gai was the king of the mountains with an iron heart.
Lin Chong has never opposed Zhao'an, which is understandable: Poor brothers like Ruan Sanxiong and Black Whirlwind Li Kui, who are bitter and haha, can eat and wear warm and drink and have money to spend on Liangshan, and they are naturally satisfied, and Lin Chong is a senior instructor in the capital, not only has a close relationship with Gao Qi, the commander of the Jingying Palace, but also can spend thousands of dollars to buy a sword, that day is ten thousand times stronger than Liangshan, if you can accept Zhao'an under the leadership of Song Jiang to return to the system, as long as you don't marry a wife who is so beautiful that you will be remembered by your superiors, glory and wealth are guaranteed.
To say that Lin Chong did not suffer for Chao Gai was to seek glory and wealth, it may be that he looked down on the hero Lin Chong, so we found the second reason why Lin Chongyin could not bear it: Song Jiang did not leak in his work, Lin Chong only doubted and did not have real evidence, and he was in a hurry, and Song Jiang became wary after covering up the past with a clever tongue, which would erase all traces and let the truth of Chao Gai's death be forever lost in the clouds.
Lin Chong's worries were not unreasonable, the eight hundred thousand forbidden army instructors learned the art of war and tactics, while the abbot Song Jiang practiced the thick black kung fu of the officialdom, and if he wanted to debate in public, Song Jiang covered his mouth half open, and he could also refute Lin Chong. Without strong evidence, it would be difficult for Song Jiang to bow his head and confess his guilt.
Even if Song Jiang admitted that Chao Gai's death was his own operation, Lin Chong might not be able to kill him in public, which was the third reason why Lin Chong did not dare to act rashly: he could not fight!
There is a joke that exhausts people's helplessness in the jianghu: "To be drunk is to drink less, not to be confused is not to touch, to serve people with virtue is not to beat, and to be indifferent to fame and fortune is really no trick." ”
Lin Chong helped Song Jiang to the top of the chair, that is, he saw the thinness of his own strength: before Chao Gai died, Wu Yong had already thrown himself into Song Jiang's arms, Chao Gai led the troops out on the expedition, Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng refused to go together, which was very telling, the red-haired ghost Liu Tang sent gold to Song Jiang once, and after returning, he also looked like a changed person, as for Ruan Sanxiong, whoever gave them wine, meat, clothes, gold and silver would help who to fight, and he might not be willing to give Chao Gai a head.
Lin Chong watched as Song Jiang sat on the top seat, only to drink and have fun but not to consult Zengtou City, and even if he had a soaring resentment in his heart, he was helpless.
Things in the world are often like this, whether in the rivers and lakes or above the court, the truth is not important, what matters is who has more strength and the right to speak, in these two aspects, the poisonous Lin Chong is obviously inferior to Song Jiang.
Readers can think about it from Lin Chong's point of view, and they will understand his many difficulties: even if they have enough evidence that Song Jiang plotted to kill Chao Gai, Song Jiang also admitted it without scruples, what can Lin Chong do? If he really turned his face, who would help Lin Chong to go to Song Jiang to seek justice? I'm afraid that even the flower monk Lu Zhishen and the walker Wu Song may not help Lin Chong - Lu Zhishen has no friendship with Chao Gai, and Wu Song is Song Jiang's brother......
