Ji Yun's Notes on Yuewei Caotang in Qing Dynasty

Original sentence

After seven or eight days, it withered, the roots came out of the column, and the textures were connected. It's about two inches near the pillar, but it's still dead, and it's getting green. Mrs Sendai, Cao Shi's nephew, met her when I was a child. Xian Yuerui also said that Mr. Xue Xuefeng, the grandfather of the outside world, that abnormal thing is a demon, so why is it there? Cao Shi also declined.

My first mother, Taifuren, was Cao Shi's niece. When I was a child, I saw the peony on the pillar with my own eyes, which was considered auspicious at that time. My grandfather, Mr. Xuefeng, said, "An abnormal thing is a demon. What is the good omen? " Later, Cao Shi's family also declined.

During the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty (A.D. 1796- 1820), there was a policeman named Cao Fu in the yamen of Hukou County (now Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province), who was good at finding some clues that were difficult for ordinary people to find through reasoning, so that the case could be quickly detected.

One midsummer, Cao Fu sat at the entrance of the county yamen to enjoy the cool. Cao Fufa has a man of about thirty years old, wearing a silk shirt, short-sleeved mandarin jacket, blue silk shoes and white socks. This man is walking slowly with a folding fan in his hand, with a carefree look, giving people a very elegant feeling. Cao Fu suddenly shouted at the man, who was so scared that he took some money out of his arms and gave it to Cao Fu, then turned and fled the scene.

The chess player said, "How do you know he is not a good man?" Cao Fu replied: "This man walked with his head down and his eyes narrowed, so I concluded that there must be a ghost in his heart."

Someone asked, "Then why don't you catch up with him?" Cao Fu smiled and said, "A habitual thief is not as nervous as he is. I think this man may be a first-time offender, but he is in a hurry. He can hand over the stolen goods, and there is no need to delve into it. "

Everyone was amazed at Cao Fu's extraordinary insight. The man did his best, so to speak, but he didn't escape Cao Fu's vigilance.
