Chapter 11: Zhaoan the Imperial Amnesty
The court sent people to Liangshan Marsh to propose amnesty. Song Jiang and the heroes discussed this issue.
Lin Chong said: "I don't want to accept amnesty. The court once wronged me, and I don't want to work for them again."
Wu Song said: "I also don't want to accept amnesty. I'm living well now, and I don't want to change."
Lu Zhishen said: "I don't care. If Song Jiang accepts, I accept; if Song Jiang doesn't accept, I don't accept."
Li Kui said: "I listen to Song Jiang. Whatever Song Jiang says, I'll do."
Song Jiang thought for a long time and said: "We are all ordinary people. We don't want to fight all our lives. If we can accept amnesty and work for the country, that's also a good thing."
The heroes heard Song Jiang's words. Some agreed, some disagreed.
Finally, Song Jiang decided not to accept amnesty. He said: "The court cannot be trusted. Let's continue our own path."
The court's representatives went back to report, and the Emperor was very angry. He decided to send more armies to attack Liangshan Marsh.
