are serious, and at least they have to act prudent, but some people usually have weird temperaments and behave nonsense, and they don't know what ridiculous things they will do when they are officials.
There is a Wang Jinshi who pretends to be very romantic and his interests are more elegant than others.
When he was a county magistrate, whenever someone committed a crime, he wouldn't stop it, only let the prisoner catch beautiful butterflies to offset the crime. Depending on the severity of the crime, the requested butterflies ranged from hundreds to thousands. .
It is hard to say whether the punishment is light or heavy. If it's spring, you can easily catch hundreds of butterflies. If it's winter, I'm afraid I won't be able to find one in the mountains.
However, the county magistrate Wang didn't care about these, just admiring the butterflies flying above the hall, colorful and beautiful like brocade, making him laugh.
This night, he dreamed of a gorgeously dressed woman and said to him: Because of your absurd decree, countless sisters of our clan were killed innocently, so let you be punished first.
After speaking, the woman turned into a beautiful butterfly and flew away.
The next morning, Madam Wang was amused in the boudoir with his wife, who had a white flower on his head.
Suddenly, a report came from outside that his boss came.
The magistrate Wang ran out to greet him in a hurry, and there was no time to arrange his clothes and hats.
The boss saw the white flower on his hairpin at a glance, and his appearance was disrespectful. The boss was furious, and immediately reprimanded him severely, and walked away.
The magistrate Wang County was scolded in a cold sweat, and remembered what was in his dream, so he dared not take it carelessly, and immediately cancelled the decree of catching butterflies to punish the crime.
There is an even more exaggerated law enforcement officer with the surname Yu, who should have been very regular, but he is extremely unscrupulous.
During the Lantern Festival, he found a donkey, tied the donkey with fireworks and firecrackers from start to end, and then went to the prefectural house to celebrate the festival, saying that he would give him a fire donkey.
It was late at that time, the gate of the prefect’s house was locked, and the prefect’s son was seriously ill.He is being treated, so the prefect is not in the mood to watch his gift.
The servant asked him to go back, but he refused, insisting to invite the prefect to watch the fire donkey.
The prefect had no choice but to come out and have a look.
As soon as the courtyard door was opened, a donkey with a burning tail rushed into the courtyard and ran around the courtyard wildly. Sparks splashed on his body and crackled. The official surnamed Yu clapped his hands behind him.
However, what the donkey was frightened, one can imagine, and quickly rushed into the house from the yard. The various halls and houses were scurried, the furniture was broken, and the curtains and curtains were all Caught fire.
The family and servants were in a panic, and did not dare to approach the donkey. It was so easy to toss until the fire was out, and the house was in a mess.
What's more serious is that the prefect's seriously ill son was frightened and died that night.
The prefect was extremely angry and wanted to submit a letter to impeach the official. Official Yu spent a lot of money to ask people to beg for mercy, and then came to the door to plead guilty, only to avoid the serious crime.
Regardless of whether you are an official or an ordinary person, it is better to behave and obey some rules, otherwise it will harm others and yourself.
