Chapter 1762： The mystery of the murderer who shot Chao Gai

Why did Li Kui's old mother die?

After reading Shen Cong's analysis of the reasons, all the fans were thoughtful.

Perhaps Shen Cong's analysis is indeed correct. This is really a causal cycle, which makes people very embarrassed and regrettable.

However, Li Kui’s character image is therefore very clear. Although he is fond of killing, loves to kill, and even kills innocent people, he will never be a vicious person. He will not kill people without reason. He is also a Liangshan hero. One.

All book fans firmly believe this.

Li Kui is undoubtedly one of the most important characters in "Water Margin", and one of the characters who use pen and ink the most by the author.

On the Internet, various discussions about Li Kui fluctuate.

The story of "Water Margin" continues.

After Song Jiang, Li Kui and others went to Liangshan, all the heroes in Liangshan hit Zhujiazhuang three times and sent troops to save firewood, which made Liangshan's momentum growing.

Then they repelled Gao Taiwei's three-way attack in succession. Taohua Mountain, Erlong Mountain and Liangshan Mountain met and returned to the water, and Liangshan's momentum gradually developed towards its peak.

However, a very unfortunate incident also came immediately, Liangshan's first top spot, Chao Gai, unfortunately died of poisoned arrows.

Chao Gai led his army to attack Zengtou City, but was lured by two monks and went deep into the enemy camp. He was shot by a poisonous arrow flying in the night and died after returning to Liangshan.

Who was the one who shot Chao Gai? On the surface, it seems to be Shi Wen Gong.

Because the poisonous arrow that shot Chao Gai was engraved with the words "Shi Wen Gong," naturally, Shi Wen Gong became the murderer who shot Chao Gai.

But is this really the case?

not necessarily.

A poisoned arrow engraved with the words "Shi Wen Gong" can't explain much at all, let alone prove that Shi Wen Gong is the murderer.

In the original text, there is no clear description that Shi Wengong shot and killed Chao Gai.

The only thing we can tell is that it was an ambush in the dark that shot Chao Gai, and where did this ambush come from? Not only was it a mystery before the battle between the two sides, it was not clear during the battle, and there was no explanation afterwards.

In addition, after Chao Gaizhong's arrow was poisoned, Shi Wen Gong was never said to be the murderer. The last words to Song Jiang only said that whoever caught the murderer who shot him would be the top spot in Liangshan.

The poisonous arrow was clearly engraved with the words "Shi Wen Gong", but Chao Gai didn't say that Shi Wen Gong was the murderer. Obviously, Chao Gai had noticed that there was something hidden about his arrow.

Also, Shi Wengong never showed off that he shot Chao Gai.

You know, shooting Liangshan's top spot, Chao Gai, the soul figure, is a great credit. It is a matter of reason to be appointed as an official, and it is also a matter of pride.

No matter how you think, Shi Wengong can't hide this matter.

Also, the arrow is poisonous. Chao Gai’s real cause of death was poisoning. Just imagine a person with martial arts such as Shi Wengong and superior archery skills. Disdain to smear poison on the arrow.

Therefore, Shi Wengong should not be the murderer who shot Chao Gai.

So, who is the real murderer?

This is a mystery.

So here comes the problem.

As Liangshan’s top spot, the soul leader, how important is Chao Gai, but he died unclearly. The author does not give any explanation to the murderer, but makes him appear to be Shi Wen Gong on the surface, which makes people suspicious.

Logically, this should be impossible.

Then, there is only one reason that can be explained, and that is the author's metaphor, who is the real murderer?

Who is the real murderer?

Shen Cong gave a subversive answer that everyone could not believe. The real murderer was Song Jiang.

The murderer turned out to be Song Jiang, and all the fans exclaimed that this is absolutely impossible.

Chao Gai and Song Jiang are a pair of brothers who are very righteous and daring. How could Song Jiang kill Chao Gai?

No one would think so.

In this regard, Shen Cong said that he only speculated based on some details, which is not necessarily the real fact, but his speculation is by no means unreasonable.

After reading Shen Cong's speculation, the fans all fell silent, all their thoughts.

First of all, Chao Gai died, and the biggest beneficiary except for the official court was Song Jiang.

When Chao Gai died, Song Jiang was able to sit on the top spot in Liangshan.

Chao Gai is loyal and attaches great importance to brotherhood, but he is not good at strategy and is not suitable for being a leader.

In fact, since Song Jiang went to Liangshan, the top spot on the surface was Chao Gai, but the real leader is more like Song Jiang, and Song Jiang is obviously also very willing to be a leader.

But in any case, Chao Gai is the first place, and Song Jiang can only be second.

If Chao Gai died, Song Jiang would take the first place as a matter of course.

Secondly, after Chao Gai was poisoned and returned to Liangshan, Song Jiang's reaction was quite intriguing.

Chao Gai was lying on the bed, water and rice could not be eaten, eating and drinking, and his body was swollen. Song Jiang just stayed in bed and cried, and did not seek medical advice, so he found someone to treat Chao Gai.

Later, after Song Jiang fell ill, he immediately sent Zhang Shun to invite the genius doctor An Daoquan.

The genius doctor An Daoquan also cured Song Jiang's disease easily.

So, why didn't Song Jiang ask the genius An Daoquan to diagnose and treat Chao Gai at that time?

The reason is intriguing.

Third, Song Jiang tampered with Chao Gai's will.

Before Chao Gai died, he told Song Jiang that whoever caught the murderer who shot him would be Liangshan's top spot.

However, after Chao Gai's death, Song Jiang said to everyone, "King Chao Tian will pay when he is dying. If someone catches Shi Wen Gong, he will become the lord of Liangshan Po. This is known to all the leaders. Today, the flesh and blood are not cold, how can it be? Forgot? How can I be in this position without revenge and hatred by the snow?"

It can be seen that Song Jiang directly defined the person who shot Chao Gai as Shi Wen Gong, and was the first person to propose Shi Wen Gong as the murderer.

Fourth, Chao Gai asked Song Jiang a dream, saying: "Now that something happened on his back, there is nothing wrong with the exception of Lingxing in the south of the Yangtze River."

The next day Song Jiang suffered from gangrene on his back, and later he was treated by the genius doctor An Daoquan.

Some people think that this is proof of the brotherhood between Chao Gai and Song Jiang, but the facts may be the opposite, and the case of Chao Gai Tuomeng just shows that Song Jiang has a ghost in his heart.

First of all, what Chao Gaimeng said is quite interesting, "Now what happened on the back has happened", Song Jiang explained it as Chao Gai Tuomeng pointed out the right direction for his treatment.

But this sentence can also be proved that some things that Song Jiang did not want to be known were exposed, and Song Jiang became horrified the next day and suffered sores on his back.

Fifth, after Chao Gai's death, Song Jiang "leads the crowd to fail every day" and "has no intention of managing the cottage affairs", and then he went up and down in a mess.

After Wu Yong and Li Kui told the other generals about reasoning and prestige, and Song Jiang successfully took the first place, they immediately went to great fanfare and gave orders, and the cottage had a new look.

It's really hard to see Song Jiang's grief excessively.

Then Song Jiang said that he would avenge Chao Gai. Wu used the phrase "Don't move lightly in funeral... and wait for a hundred days before raising soldiers."

After Song Jiang heard this, because of this ridiculous reason, he no longer avenged Chao Gai.

Moreover, after a hundred days, Song Jiang did not go to avenge Chao Gai, but instead went to Beijing.

sixth:"……"

For detailed reasoning like this, Shen Cong gave ten points in total.

After reading it, the fans were thoughtful. Although the evidence Shen Cong gave was indirect reasoning evidence, it was indeed very convincing.

This may not be 100% proof that Song Jiang was the real murderer of Chao Gai, but Song Jiang is at least very suspicious.

So, here comes another question.

If Song Jiang was the murderer, Song Jiang would not be able to shoot Chao Gai himself, he would only send one person.

So, who is the person he sent?

This question also has details that can be speculated, not to mention that 100% is the answer, but the possibility is not low.

This makes countless book fans feel that if they do not study the details of the "Water Margin" several times, they will not understand the "Water Margin" at all.

This is of course true. There are many places in "Water Margin" that are worthy of careful study.

Otherwise, you really didn't understand "Water Margin", at most you just watched the excitement.

Even Mr. Jin Shengtan, a famous writer and literary critic in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, sighed like this, "If you don't read "Water Margin", you don't know the wonder of the world."
