Lin Chong did not take revenge Song Jiang shot Chao Gai, and Lin Chong silently did not avenge his brother
Chao Gai's death is full of suspicions. Jin Sheng checked all kinds of strange things before and after Chao Gai's death, and found that Song Jiang had moved flowers and trees"There is a series of articles on it, every time the flowers are grafted, Chao Gai will be investigated, and Song Jiang will persuade Chao Gai. It's just that this didn't convince Song Jiang, and Chao Gai died under Song Jiang's attempt. Throughout the book, Song Jiang writes affectionately"Kill Chao Gai"。
Lying and not hiding the insidious tricks of the villagers Song Jiang can only hide from the three heroes of the Ruan family, as a free-spirited reckless man, Lu Zhishen Wu Song and others will not climb high for themselves, even if they know it, they are not sorry, and Jin Shengsigh judged"Poison people"Lin Chong, the head of the leopard, knew that Song Jiang was secretly poisoned, but why didn't he kill Song Jiang?Why didn't he kill Song Jiang to avenge Chao Gai?The reasons are of course complex, and the author's wisdom is also superficial, he only analyzes three reasons, true and false, but it will certainly attract the reader's discernment.
In Jin Sheng's eyes, the leopard head Lin Chong is second only to Wu Song who stepped on stilts, and he is an excellent character:"Lin Chong is also a vicious person, standing firm, decisive, and rigorous, which is frightening. Such a person in Jiangsu, who has made great achievements, is also full of energy. "
Don't misjudge, stand still, stand firm, act accurately, Lin Chong is scheming and ruthless, such an evaluation is not an exaggeration, he can endure it, he can withstand the endurance of time, and he can also plan and then move, moving like thunder. Gao Lishi forced the father and son into a corner, there was no way out, and he would hit the past mercilessly like Wu Song:"The poor Kou will climb and go, and Lin Chong will press it, cut off his head, and take the gun. Back to Fu'an, Lu Qian cut off his head, inserted a sharp knife, braided three hairs, took it to the temple, and put it on the offering table in front of the mountain god. "
The night was dark, windy, and snowy, and in the gloomy mountain temple, three human heads were tied together and placed on the offering table, Lin Chong wore a felt hat with a calm expression, drank cold wine, and was not in a hurry for a long time, and the people who rushed to fight the fire did not see Lin Chong's eyes abnormal.
In the battle of Zengtou City, with Lin Chong's calm and almost cold character, he had long seen that the two Taoist priests of Fahua Temple were not real, and when Chao Gai was hit by an arrow, he forcibly withdrew his troops back to Liangshan without waiting for Song Jiang's order, which shows that Lin Chong is well-informed, but there is no convincing evidence, so he is not in a hurry to make a move.
When Lu Junyi captured Shi Wengong, Lin Chong finally launched the final investigation and told the results of the investigation to Dadao Guan Sheng, who in turn told Song Jiang:"According to Lin Chong's brother, Shi Wengong, who was later captured, carefully examined the arrow, and there was no name engraved on it. The inscribed arrow does not match the length of the bow worn by Shi Wengong. "
Guan Sheng cited Lin Chong's research results, which is not available in the intermediate version of "Water Margin", but in "Water Margin", in "Water Margin", the best sequel to "Water Margin", "Water Margin" is impeccably written, and the first seventy times of "Water Margin" reached the realm, in the book, Lin Chong's description of the rules for solving the Jianghu case, even we know: Shi Wengong, like a peerless master, ignores feeding poison into the arrows, because these five doors are the usual tricks of fighting in the drum. It is precisely because of the lower five gates on the rivers and lakes that Shi Wengong was able to defeat Lei Huo Qin Ming, one of the five tiger generals of the Liangshan Horse Army, and put him on horseback, this is not the trick of Shi Qian, who is beating fleas in the drum?
Lin Chong is the head of the 800,000 forbidden army, with strong martial arts, and has a relationship with the characters in the rivers and lakes, of course, he knows that the heroes of the rivers and lakes are arrogant, he will not believe that Shi Wengong's arrows are poisonous, let alone that Shi Wengong will engrave his name on the arrowhead - that will affect the head.
Lin Chong knew that Song Jiang was not a good person, but after Chao Gai's death, he still cooperated with Wu Yong and pushed Song Jiang to a high position. The reason for this is very interesting, and it may be the first reason why Lin Chong did not avenge Chao Gai: after Song Jiang took over Liangshan, it was more beneficial to Lin Chong and Wu Yong - Song Jiang could recruit new soldiers and let everyone live a good life!And Chao Gai wants to be the king of the mountain.
It is understandable that Lin Chong has never objected to Zhao'an: he, like Ruan's Sanxiong and Hei Hurricane Li Kui, is like Liangshan's sworn friend and poor friend, he can be fed, clothed, and have money to spend, so he is naturally happy;And Lin Chong is the senior head of the capital, not only has Gao Yu, the court marshal of the capital, but also can spend a lot of money to buy a precious sword - the Ten Fang Sword. It is thousands of times stronger than Liang Shan that day, if you can be under Song Jiang, then accept it!If you don't marry a wife who is so beautiful that your boss will never forget it, you will be sure to be taken back by people in the system, and you will gain fame and fortune.
He said that Lin Chong did not suffer losses, and sought fame and fortune for Chao Gai, who could afford to look down on the hero Lin Chong, so we found the second reason for Lin Chong's retreat: Song Jiang was not moved to do things, Lin Chong only had suspicion and no real evidence, and the conviction was too fast, Song Jiang skillfully covered up the past with the will of heaven, and all traces of the truth about Chao Gai's death will be erased and disappear forever in the clouds.
Lin Chong's worries are not groundless, the head of the 800,000 forbidden army is learning martial arts and actual combat skills and tactics, while Song Jiang is practicing gambling skills and learning kung fu in thick black, arguing in public, Song Jiang is half-concealed and half-hidden, and he can also refute Lin Chong. Without conclusive evidence, it is difficult for Song Jiang to bow his head and admit his guilt.
Even if Song Jiang admitted that Chao Gai's death was his fault, Lin Chong might not be able to cut off his head in public, which is the third reason why Lin Chong didn't dare to act rashly: he couldn't beat him!
There's a joke in the forest about the powerlessness of man:"If you are not drunk, everyone is drunk, if you are not charming, you are fascinated, you are diligent, you are self-motivated, and you are indifferent to fame and fortune"。
Lin Chong wants to put Song Jiang in the first place, looking at his magic skills: Chao Gai died early, Wu Yong let Song Jiang be in charge, Chao Gai led the troops into battle, Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng refused to go together, it can be said that in a word, Liu Tang's red-haired ghost sent gold to Song Jiang once, and then turned into a human form and came back, as for the three heroes of the Ruan family, they may not be willing to go to Chao Gai to help the warriors who gave them wine, meat, clothes, gold and silver.
Lin Chong looked at Song Jiang who was sitting on the top chair, just drinking wine and enjoying himself, but he didn't attack Zengtou City, although he had great hatred in his heart, he was helpless.
Things in the world are often like this, whether it is in the rivers and lakes or in the palace, the truth is not important, what matters is who is stronger and who has more right to speak, and in these two aspects, the vicious Lin Chong is obviously not Song Jiang's opponent.
Readers can think from Lin Chong's perspective and understand his difficulties: although there is sufficient evidence to prove that Song Jiang murdered Chao Gai, but Song Jiang confessed without hesitation, what can Lin Chong?If Song Jiang turns his face and doesn't recognize people, who will help Lin Chong seek justice from Song Jiang?I'm afraid that even the flower monk Lu Zhishen and the donkey Wu Song will not help Lin Chong - Lu Zhishen and Chao Gai are at odds, and Wu Song is Song Jiang's sworn brother...
