Can't kill Gao Qiu's Lin Chong, is it because of the boss Song Jiang?

In The Water Margin, it is written that Huizong in the Song Dynasty was a troubled time when a bad king was in power and the DPRK practiced treachery. Among the Liangshan heroes, most of them are unfortunate people, and Lin Chong, the leopard head, is one of the representatives. Gao Qiu's adopted son took a fancy to his wife, and Gao Qiu framed Lin Chong many times, sending Lin Chong, who was originally an imperial coach of 8,, to Jingzhou, and was even more ruined by treacherous court official Gao Qiu.

Lin Chong must have hated Gao Qiu, but when all the people in Liangshan captured Gao Qiu, Lin Chong didn't kill him, which made people feel puzzled. Some people may think so. Lin Chong has always tried to compromise and submit to humiliation. However, after all, he was the coach of the 8, imperial army, and with his superb martial arts, he naturally has a certain prestige.

However, on the way to match Cangzhou, he was bullied by two maids, who made him wash his feet with boiling water and didn't give him food, while Lin Chong just endured without resistance. It can be seen how much he can endure! Until his life was in danger and he was cornered, so he became an outlaw.

Lin Chong worked as a subordinate of Wang Lun in Liangshan. Wang Lun, a man who can't hide that others are better than him, is really small-minded. When several people from Classical came to take refuge, Wang Lun repeatedly refused to accept them. Wu Yong took advantage of this wisdom to arouse Lin Chong. Lin Chong was very angry and scolded, "You are a poor scholar who didn't get fame and didn't have any ink in your stomach, so you can still be the master of the cottage." Then a knife stabbed Wang Lun in the chest and cut it.

This is Lin Chong's conflagration with Wang Lun. So Lin Chong didn't just endure. Wang Lun made things difficult for him many times, and he couldn't tolerate Lin Chong being better than him. Lin Chong killed Wang Lun to improve his position in Liangshan. In a word, Wang Lun became a stepping stone to Lin Chong.

Then why didn't Lin Chong have such blood in front of Gao Qiu, a prisoner? Perhaps it was because Sung River wanted to please Gao Qiu so that he could be embraced, so he ordered not to kill Gao Qiu. As a subordinate of Sung River, Lin Chong had to obey his orders, so Lin Chong didn't kill Gao Qiu.

But from another point of view, although Song Jiang is the first among Liangshan heroes, can Lin Chong let Gao Qiu go just because of Song Jiang's orders? After all, it was Gao Qiu who ruined his family. What's more, Lin Chong has no family and no worries about being alone. Why not kill Gao Qiu for revenge?

Actually, the reason why Lin Chong didn't dare to kill Gao Qiu was really Song Jiang, but not because Song Jiang ordered him. In the eightieth chapter of "The Water Margin", it was written: Sung River took control of the waterway, and Gao Qiu and his party were captured. Sung River hurriedly asked Dai Zong to give orders not to kill Gao Qiu and the sergeant.

Take all the people in Gao Qiu's boat captive, and take away the weapons, gold, silver and jewels. Sung river and others in the loyalty class see Zhang Shun was about to talk about Gao Qiu, quickly come forward to hold Gao Qiu, get satin clothes to let him change, help the class Gao Qiu, please sit down. Song Jiang immediately bowed down to him and said that he had committed a capital crime. Not only do I have to worship myself, but I also let all my subordinates worship me, and ordered me to serve Gao Qiu and not kill him. Thus sung river's attitude towards Gao Qiu.

Song Jiang wanted to woo Gao Qiu, so he took care of him in every way, hoping that Gao Qiu could help him. Therefore, Song Jiang did a good job in protecting Gao Qiu, and let the first master Lu Junyi protect him all day, with the help of Wu Yong, a wise man. It was really difficult for Lin Chong to find an opportunity to attack Gao Qiu.

Therefore, it's not that Lin Chong didn't dare to kill Gao Qiu, and it's not that he didn't want to kill him. It's just that Song Jiang's protection for Gao Qiu was too good. He couldn't find a chance to kill Gao Qiu, so he had to let him go.
