Speaking of the black whirlwind Li Kui, most people's feeling is that he is a reckless man, a brute force (brute bull), reckless and impatient, violent personality, simple-minded, and open-mouthed. But on closer inspection, Li Kui is more like a super thug.
What are the characteristics of a thug, cold-blooded, loyal to his master, and willingly driven by his master;Good at figuring out the master's thoughts, saying things that are inconvenient for the master to say at critical moments, and doing things that are inconvenient for the master to do. Who is Li Kui's master?Of course, it was timely rain Song Jiang.
Let's take a look at a few things about him being a thug for Song Jiang:
Song Jiang messed up the mandarin duck spectrum and wanted to marry Hu Sanniang to the bantam tiger Wang Ying, but of course Hu Sanniang didn't look down on Wang Ying, who behaved obscenely. Li Kui killed dozens of Hu Sanniang's family, even women, children and children. Such a terrifying act seems reckless, but in fact, he figured out Song Jiang's mind and intimidated Hu Sanniang into obeying Song Jiang's arrangement through crazy killing.
Wu Yong invited the beautiful bearded man Zhu Tong to join the gang (of course, it was Song Jiang's meaning), at that time, Zhu Tong was appreciated by the Cangzhou prefect, and he went to the street to play with Xiao Yanei every day, not wanting to go up the mountain. Li Kui brutally killed Xiao Yanei, Zhu Tong had no choice but to go to Liangshan, Li Kui killed innocents indiscriminately, even children did not let go, Song Jiang would not care about the process, he appreciated the results brought by Li Kui more.
Chai Jin was about to go to Tokyo with a Danshu iron coupon to file a complaint because of his uncle's death, but Li Kui killed the court official, causing Chai Jin to be put on death row, and was later rescued by the heroes of Liangshan, so he had to go up the mountain. Li Kui seemed to kill the imperial court officials on impulse, but in fact, this was exactly the result that Song Jiang needed. Why?Chai Daguan is rich, Liangshan needs logistical support!
Some people retorted that how could Li Kui be Song Jiang's thug, and he resolutely opposed Song Jiang's acceptance of Zhao'an, and the famous sentence "Zhao'an, Zhao'an, Zhao'an, Zhao'an" is evidence. In fact, Li Kui was relieving Song Jiang at that time. When Song Jiang proposed Zhao'an in Zhongyi Hall, he was opposed by the brothers. So, Li Kui also jumped out to oppose it, obviously anti-Zhao'an, but actually to stir up the situation, and help Song Jiang turn passive into active in Zhao'an.
Therefore, through Li Kui's recklessness and trouble, we must see that he is actually very scheming and scheming, rushing to the front to help Song Jiang achieve his goal, opening the way with killing, and unscrupulous means. This fits well with the characteristics of a thug. Song Jiang tricked Li Kui into drinking poisoned wine, but Li Kui did not have the slightest resentment towards Song Jiang, and his ending was the inevitable end of a thug.
