On one occasion, there was a new magistrate in Quanzhou. When Qin discovered that the new magistrate was a famous Taoist, he deliberately played a joke on him. Knowing that the magistrate would come out as usual and pass by his house, he specially wrote a few big characters on the white powder wall in front of his house. It says, "whoring, gambling and drinking have nothing to do with me" and "I won't let people earn tribute and fight". In Quanzhou dialect, fighting with others and hitting people with fists are called earning. ) The white wall, lined with black characters, needless to say, is very eye-catching. Sure enough, the next day, the new county magistrate passed by his door. When he saw those words, his eyebrows stood up. What did the magistrate think: "I'm here to rectify the customs. How can such a lawless person be so blatant? " So he quickly called the attendants in the sedan chair and asked, "Whose house is this?" "Qin Zhongzhen." "Isn't Qin a local Jinshi?" "yes." "Well .............................................................................................................................................................................. In a short time, I returned to the yamen, immediately asked the police to take a film and invited Qin to come, and Qin also followed the police in no hurry to meet the new magistrate. When they met, after a few words of greeting, the magistrate put on a pair of lost face and asked him, "I heard that those big characters written in front of your house are true?" "Really, I wrote it." "no! As a member of a famous religion, you should abide by the rules and set an example for the people. Why do those immoral things instead and write a big book in front of your house? This is too unscrupulous. " "Rule (a gentleman claims to be ruled by a government official in an autocratic era) is always dutiful, but those words correct the custom." Bah! You wrote: whoring and gambling are nothing like me, and you still say that you keep points? You wrote: you can't find anyone to earn tribute, and you still say the rules? Now I'm going to put you in ... ""How respectful! Slow down and get angry. You really keep your score. Maybe you misunderstood the words on the wall! I am so meticulous, I am afraid that I can't find a second one in Quanzhou. " "You ..." "Didn't I understand what the wall said? Gambling, don't be like me' is gambling, don't do it, be as decent as me. Earn tribute to fight, no, let people.' It means that if you don't do what you earn, you have to give in to others. I was angry because I read my words wrong. Can't I be so conscientious? "After hearing what he said, the new county magistrate could not help but apologize to him. Although he knew in his heart that he was joking with himself, he was too cunning, admired his cleverness and respected him.
