Without epiphany (reason), there will be no magical power, and if epiphany (reason) is not based on wisdom, you can't really understand the subtle key points of things. Therefore, the utility of insight (rationality) is amazing. A good fortune teller can tell a person's wealth or poverty, longevity or early death from his appearance. Similarly, (can't) spy on a person's heart from his behavior? Can't you clearly judge whether he is loyal or treacherous, virtuous or foolish? Without wise wisdom, you can't see clearly, and if you can't see clearly, you can't show wisdom. Knowing the truth means that there are no wronged people in the world, and investigating thieves means that there are no (innocent) victims in the world. This is making good use of insight and wisdom.

There was a farmer working in the field in Shan County, and his wife gave him food. He died after eating. My in-laws said, "My daughter-in-law poisoned my son." So he sued the government. The woman couldn't stand being whipped, so she had to confess. After that, strangely, it hasn't rained in Shan County for a long time. Xu Jin was working in Shandong at that time. He said, "Is it because of unjust imprisonment that it hasn't rained for a long time?" So I personally came to Shan County and brought the prisoners up for interrogation. When asked about the woman who delivered the meal, Xu Jin said: "Being together is the greatest wish of life; Killing people with poison is a strict plan. How can you send food to the fields to poison people? " So I asked her about the food she sent and the way she walked. The woman said, "It's nothing unusual to send fish soup and rice through Lin Jing." Xu Jin asked people to buy fish to make soup, put golden flowers in it, and let pigs and dogs taste it. No one died. Women's grievances were cleared, and it was raining cats and dogs that day.

A Suzhou man went out to do business, and his wife kept some chickens waiting for him to come back. A few years later, this Suzhou talent came home, and his wife killed the chicken and cooked it for him. The Suzhou native died immediately. Neighbors suspected that his wife was having an affair with an outsider, so they reported her to Fu Yinyao. After inspection, Yao Gong guessed that the chicken was poisonous and sent someone to find the old chicken and cook it for all death row inmates. Sure enough, they poisoned two people and the unjust prison was cleared. It turns out that chickens have eaten poisonous insects such as centipedes and accumulated a lot of toxins in their bodies for a long time.

Sharla Cheung served as the county magistrate of Qianshan as a scholar. There is a firewood seller who likes to eat eel. One day, when he came back from the market, he was very hungry, so his wife cooked eel for him to eat. After a hearty meal, he died of abdominal pain. Neighbors said that the wife poisoned her husband, arrested her and sent her to the government to torture her for interrogation, but she did not plead guilty. The case could not be closed, and his wife was imprisoned for more than a year. Zhang Gonggang arrived, read the official documents and suspected that (her husband) was poisoned by eels. Let the fisherman catch a few hundred catties of eels, put them all into the water tank, and find seven eels with their heads two or three inches above the water. Zhang Gong was very surprised. He asked the woman to cook the eel face to face, and then released the condemned man to eat (the eel cooked by the woman). As soon as the condemned man swallowed it, he said he had a stomachache and soon fell to the ground and died. This woman's grievances have been cleared.

"Shen Zhengji" recorded this matter, saying that Zhang Gong was guided by the gods and did so, which is very strange. People who review cases should pay attention to themselves. How can they leave it to the gods of the underworld to decide?
