Why were Wang Ying and Hu Sanniang given important responsibilities?

There are three couples among the 108 heroes in Liangshan, namely Sun Xin's wife Gu, Zhang Qing's Sun Erniang and his wife, and Wang Yinghu's Sanniang and his wife.

In fact, the three couples are all engaged in intelligence work. Sister Gu and his wife and Sun Erniang are the leaders in charge of Dongshan Hotel and Xishan Hotel respectively. They are equivalent to the chiefs of the two intelligence stations under Dai Zong Intelligence Bureau. And the position of deputy station chief,

However, Wang Ying and Hu Sanniang were entrusted with the important task of being in charge of the chief of the three armed forces' internal detectives, Ma Jun. This position is independent of the intelligence agency led by Dai Zong, so Why were Wang Ying and Hu Sanniang entrusted with important tasks by Song Jiang?

First, let’s get to know Wang Ying and Hu Sanniang. Wang Ying, nicknamed "Dwarf Tiger", was originally the leader of the second village of Qingfeng Mountain. Because he rescued Song Jiang and made a big fuss in Qingzhou, he went to Liangshan to join the gang. He attacked Zhujiazhuang three times and then married Hu Sanniang. When Liangshan gathered in Yiyi, he ranked fifty-eighth and ranked on Yingdiweixing.

Hu Sanniang, nicknamed "Yizhang Qing", was the daughter of Grand Duke Hu of Hujiazhuang, Dulonggang. She was engaged to Zhu Biao of Zhujiazhuang. When Song Jiang attacked Zhujiazhuang, Hujiazhuang sent troops to rescue Zhujiazhuang. Hu Sanniang was captured by Lin Chong. After three attacks on Zhujiazhuang, she became Song Jiang's adopted sister and was accused of being married to Wang Ying. When Liangshan gathered for justice, they were ranked fifty-nine, corresponding to the earthly comet.

Let’s analyze the reasons why Song Jiang views Wang Ying, Hu Sanniang and his wife differently:

1. Wang Ying saved Song Jiang’s life.

At the beginning, Song Jiang went to Qingfeng Village to seek refuge with Xiao Li Guanghua Rong. When passing by Qingfeng Mountain, he was knocked down by Xiao Li Guanghua Rong. He was drunk and ordered Song Jiang's heart and liver to be used as sobering soup. In desperation, Song Jiang called out his name. When Wang Ying, Yan Shun and other three people learned that he was Song Jiang, they quickly loosened their bonds, bowed to him, and allowed him to stay in Qingfeng Mountain.

Wang Ying was lustful by nature, so he snatched the wife of Liu Gao, the Zhizhai of Qingfeng Village, up the mountain and took her back to her room for fun. Song Jiang thought this was not the work of a hero, so he persuaded Wang Ying to let her go and promised to be his matchmaker in the future. Soon, Song Jiang went to Qingfeng Village and was framed as the bandit leader of Qingfeng Mountain. Later, he was rescued by Wang Ying and others. Qingfeng Village knew that Liu Gao was killed. Wang Ying snatched Liu Gao's wife back to the village and wanted to keep her as his wife. But was killed by Yan Shun. Wang Ying was furious, grabbed the sword and wanted to fight with Yan Shun, but Song Jiang persuaded him to stop him, and promised him again that he would definitely arrange a marriage for him in the future. This is how Song Jiang later betrothed Hu Sanniang to Wang Ying.

2. Hu Sanniang is Song Jiang’s adopted sister.

Hu Sanniang met Lin Chong. The two did not get along well, so Hu Sanniang was captured by Lin Chong. After Hu Sanniang was captured, Song Jiang sent someone to send her back to Liangshanbo overnight and handed her over to the custody of her father Song Taigong. The Liangshan generals returned to the mountain victoriously. Hu Sanniang, who was on Liangshan Mountain, had been adopted as an adopted daughter by Song Taigong. Hu Sanniang became Song Jiang's adopted sister and the family member of the top leader in Liangshan.

3. Song Jiang owed something to Hu Sanniang.

When Hu Sanniang's brother Hu Cheng saw that his sister had been captured, he asked to see Song Jiang. The two parties agreed that Hujiazhuang would no longer help Zhujiazhuang against Liangshan. If anyone from Zhujiazhuang defected to Hujiazhuang, Hucheng would capture him and hand him over. Song Jiang, this way you can put Hu Sanniang back.

Later Liangshan, with the assistance of Sun Li and others who defected from Dengzhou, broke through Zhujiazhuang. Zhu Biao fled to Hujiazhuang, but was captured by Hu Cheng's people and wanted to sacrifice him to Song Jiang, but he failed. Encountering Li Kui on the road, Li Kui chopped off Zhu Biao with an axe, and then chased Hu Cheng to chop him down. Hu Cheng abandoned his home and ran for his life. Li Kui became red-eyed, rushed to Hujiazhuang, and killed everyone in Hujiazhuang, old and young. In this way, Song Jiang broke his original promise to Hu Cheng, and Li Kui also killed all Hu Sanniang's family, old and young. This was Song Jiang's debt to Hu Sanniang.

Later Song Jiang asked Hu Sanniang to marry Wang Ying. Hu Sanniang had no choice but to agree "seeing Song Jiang's deep loyalty". This is Song Jiang's second wife, Hu Sanniang.
