Since then, he has continued to attack dissidents in the DPRK and form cliques for personal gain. He shamelessly framed Lin Chong, and later drove Yang Zhi out of the palace. After the Liangshan heroes broke into Gaotang Prefecture, he advocated the siege of Liangshan mainly to avenge Gao Lian. Later, when he conquered Liangshan and was captured on the mountain, he promised to return to the court to report and recruit him. However, once he got off the mountain, he betrayed his faith and detained Xiao Rang and Le and.

His son-in-law, Liang Zhongshu, gave the stolen property to Cai Jing to celebrate his birthday, calling it the "birthday guide". He was escorted by Yang Zhi, and was later designed and seized by Wu Yong and other Liangshan heroes.
Although the novel does not describe much about Cai Jing, it also fully exposes the evil deeds of him and his gangsters. Cai Jiu, the prefect of Jiangzhou, is his son, and Liang Taishu, the left-behind man of Daming Prefecture in Beijing, is his son-in-law. This is a dark and dirty web woven by feudal bureaucracy.
4. Yang Jian: This is also a treacherous official who harms the country and the people, and he has reached the rank of Taiwei. After Song Jiang conquered Fang La and returned to Beijing and was granted a title, Yang Jian and Gao Qiu plotted a poisonous plot to frame Song Jiang and Lu Junyi in order to avenge themselves.

The arrest of Song Jiang, the discovery of Dai Zong's false letter, and the Liangshan heroes' robbery of the execution ground and the violent war were all caused by this person. Later, he was captured alive by Zhang Shun, cut into pieces and died, which was very satisfying.
Huang Wenbing is a meticulous, sharp, shrewd but insidious and vicious villain. He exposed Song Jiang and exposed the falsehood, largely to curry favor with the prefect Cai Jiu and seek promotion. Although he is a scholar and has no power to tie a chicken, he is a powerful enemy in Liangshan.
6. Pan Jinlian: A maid from Zhang Da’s family in Qinghe County, married to Wu Dalang, Wu Song’s brother. He once seduced and teased Wu Song but failed, so with the help of Wang Po, he colluded with Ximen Qing, poisoned Wu Dalang, and was finally killed by Wu Song.
Pan Jinlian is a typical image of a prostitute in "Water Margin". Her frivolous, shameless, hypocritical and ruthless character left a deep impression on many readers. Her death also became a symbol of Wu Song's journey to Liangshan. direct cause.

He seduced Pan Jinlian, and openly kicked Wu Dalang who came to catch him, seriously injuring him. Finally, he conspired with Wang Po and Pan Jinlian to kill Wu Dalang. After Wu Song complained, he bribed the government not to sue. He was eventually killed by Wu Song.
The character of Ximen Qing exposes the darkness and decadence of feudal society and the bullying of the people by landlords and bullies. Although the novel does not use much ink about him, it fully reflects this point. The original poster may refer to "The Plum in the Golden Ping" for a deeper description of him.
8. Wang Po: She was an ordinary citizen who opened a tea house and did business, but she did not keep her duties. She was greedy for money and material, so she prompted Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian to collude and commit adultery to satisfy their own selfish desires. Later, he plotted to poison Wu Dalang for money. Eventually he was executed by Ling Chi.
Greedy, shameless, cunning, vicious, and eloquent are the main character traits of Wang Po. While readers are deeply disgusted by the adultery of Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian, they will also naturally hate people like Wang Po who have no virtue or talent and specialize in prostitution activities.

Because he burns incense in Dongyue Temple and covets Lin Chong's wife, he conspires with his lackeys Lu Qian and Fu An to trick Lin Chong's wife and put her in danger.

She was the wife of Liu Gao, the Zhizhai Zhizhai of Qingfeng Village. She was snatched away by Wang Ying and wanted to be the wife of the Yazhai Village. She was put down on the mountain after encountering Song Jiang's kind persuasion. However, she repaid her favor and encouraged her husband to arrest and torture him when Song Jiang was enjoying the lanterns on Yuan Ye. Using torture, Hua Rong learned about it and united with the heroes of Qingfeng Mountain to rebel and rescue Song Jiang, killing the vicious couple.
