SONG JIANG
Chinese Theft God
Also known as Sung-Chiang
God of Thieves and Whistleblowers
Who says crime doesn’t pay? After breaking every law imaginable, he went straight to Diyu, the Chinese Hell. Yanluo Wang, the God of Death, was shocked at his blatant naughtiness and booked him into every torture chamber available.
But then Song Jiang spoke up. “You may think I was evil, but all the bureaucrats in my province are ten times worse. I was only following their example.” He then proceeded to give names, places and dates.
This evidence convicted many high-ranking officials and filled Diyu’s punishment zone to overflowing. The Gods were most pleased, gave him a free pardon and elevated him to deity status.
Thus by becoming an informant and supergrass, he scammed his way into the job he now holds. The perfect crime.
