Why did Song Wu kill a tiger in Jingyanggang?

The story of Song Wu killing a tiger:

Song Wu went home to visit his brother and passed Jingyanggang on his way. After drinking a lot in Gangxia Hotel, I staggered to Shang Gang, only to see a tree saying: "There are businessmen in Jingyang Shang Gang recently, you should unite to cross Shang Gang. Please don't make mistakes. "

Song Wu thought it was a trick of the shopkeeper, so he walked on. When the sun was about to set, Song Wu came to a ruined temple and saw the government notice posted at the gate. After Song Wu finished reading, he knew there was a tiger on the mountain. He had to go back to the hotel, and he was afraid of jokes from the store, so he continued.

Because of the attack of alcohol, I found a big bluestone and lay down on my back. Suddenly a big bug fell from the sky. After a fierce battle, Song Wu successfully defeated the tiger and became a hero in people's mouth.
