Comment: This scene shows how the Water Margin’s rebels carry on their own justice. Though a “private” execution, it occurs after a trial of a kind: Song Jiang, Chao Gai and the other leaders sit as judges would do, while Li Kui volunteers to play the executioner. It should be noted that the scene follows the attempted execution of Song Jiang in the preceding chapter: Huang Wenbing, the victim of this gruesome killing, is precisely the one who’s tried unsuccessfully to have the rebels’ leader brought to justice. This scene is one of several occurrences in Shuihu zhuan were the failure of official justice is contrasted with the harsher and swifter justice of the Water Margin’s outlaws.
