Jin Dajian - Joining Liangshan

Joining Liangshan

Song Jiang writes a poem advocating rebellion against the government when he was drunk while serving exile in Jiangzhou. He is arrested and imprisoned after Huang Wenbing reported him to the governor Cai Jiu. Wu Yong sends Dai Zong to fetch Xiao Rang and Jin Dajian to Liangshan. Xiao Rang forges a letter in the handwriting of the Imperial Tutor Cai Jing (father of Cai Jiu), asking Cai Jiu to have Song Jiang escorted as a prisoner back to the capital for further action. Jin Dajian completes the picture by carving a fake official seal similar to the one used by Cai Jing and stamps it on the letter.

Cai Jiu is fooled by the letter and believed that it is genuine. Just then, Huang Wenbing spots a mistake with the official seal that Jin Dajian had carved and exposes the fraud. Cai Jiu is furious and he orders Song Jiang and Dai Zong to be executed. Luckily, Wu Yong had realised the mistake earlier and he sends the outlaws to storm the execution ground and rescue the captives in time.
