Mr. Sun Xuchuan once told such a story: One of his friends, who had a very serious typhoid fever, was very ill, and had been lying down and could not get out of bed for several days. One day, after he had taken the medicine, he was groggy and felt his soul fly away, drifting with the wind, floating leisurely, and came to an official court. He looked inside the official palace, and there were all ghosts and gods standing and sitting inside, and he suddenly understood, knowing that he had arrived at the Underworld. Seeing that someone had entered through the side door of the official's court, he tried to follow the crowd inside, and no one stopped him, so he followed him.
When he went in, he saw everyone sitting on the side corridor waiting, and he sat down like everyone else. He sat down and waited to see if anyone came to interrogate him, and no one came up to him.
He secretly looked at the hall, and there were many people in the hall, and there were many people who came to fight the lawsuit, and they pulled out one pull and one pulled again. The King of Yan Luo's left hand flipped through the books and wrote with his right hand, some of them were solved in one or two sentences, some were judged clearly in a dozen sentences, and some were more complicated, and it took a while to judge, which was not much different from the criminal officers of the Yang Dynasty. Those who have committed serious crimes and have been shackled to iron shackles are also obedient and sticky, and there is no rebuttal.
Suddenly, he saw that a certain prince, a senior in the official field, came in wearing an official uniform, and the king of Pluto invited him to sit down and asked him what he wanted to sue. A certain public said that he wanted to sue his protégés for being ungrateful, and listed the names of dozens of people in one breath, saying their bad deeds, and between the accounts, they were still indignant.
The King of Pluto listened to the lawsuit of a certain duke, and his expression was very dismissive, and when the certain duke finished speaking, he arched his hand and performed a salute, saying: "These people were originally speculative drillers, although they thought they were clever and clever, but the heavens were clear, and in the end they could not escape the trial of hades and were punished." But these things can be punished by God, and it is not appropriate for you to blame them. 'Those who plant peach and plum get in fact, and those who plant tribulus get their thorns', don't you know this truth? Most of the people you admire and promote are inflamed and dependent, you lose your official position, they scatter and abandon you, and you blame them with morality, no doubt 'chiseling ice for fire'! You don't know people clearly, how can you blame others? ”
A certain gong sat on the hall, bowed his head, and after a while, he seemed to have woken up, bowed his hand and said goodbye, and walked straight out of the hall.
Sun Xuchuan's friend and a certain gong are old acquaintances, want to go forward to say hello, inquire about some news, suddenly heard a "clanging" sound behind them, turned around, and woke up in shock.
