Misreading the Book of Search gods: Wang Qiao Fei scoop, a hitman who uses spell 996

Wang Qiao Feigang: Hit the worker who uses spell 996

During the Ming Dynasty of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wang Qiao, a Shang Shulang Hedong man, served as a county commander in Yecheng. Wang Qiao can spell, and on the first day of every month, he will come from Yecheng to the capital to report for duty. Emperor Hanming felt a little strange when he saw that Wang Qiao did not ride with him every time he came, so he secretly ordered Tai Shi Ling to secretly observe and understand the situation. After a while, Tai Shi Ling reported that every time Wang Qiao came, two water birds would fly from the southeast direction. So the emperor ordered Tai Shi Ling to ambush in advance and open a net to catch it when he saw the two birds flying, but strangely, there were no water birds in the net, only a pair of shoes. Emperor Hanming felt that these shoes were somewhat familiar, so he asked the officials of Shangfang to identify that they were actually the shoes that Emperor Hanming gave to Wang Qiao four years ago.

Comment: In Greek mythology, there is a man named Hermes, one of the twelve main gods of Mount Olympus, and also has a pair of flying shoes, but it is generally a tool for stealing things to escape, so Hermes is worshipped by thieves as a patron saint. And Wang Qiao, who has the same equipment, the pattern is much smaller, and he actually just uses the shoes as a means of working for the emperor and commuting to work, and even the guests of the prince's door are not mixed, which is really a shame for the peers of the Immortal Realm [see]. There can also be another speculation that every time Wang Qiao went to work and reported for duty, he would stand on the water bird turned into two shoes and fly to the capital. In order not to be seen, Wang Qiao opened the stealth function, and when Tai Shi Ling's official Zhang Net captured it, Wang Qiao slipped away, but accidentally dropped his shoes in the net.
