Anji has a young master Zhang, who is kind by nature and has a normal family background. He likes to raise birds to amuse birds. In addition to a few showers, there is also a parrot in the house. He learns to speak vividly, which makes the young master like him. One night, the young master heard someone outside the window, and seemed to be talking in a low voice, so he left the cave lightly. Seeing a myna stopped at the window, talking to the parrot in the cage. I only heard the parrot say, "If you could get out of the cage and fly freely like you, how great would it be!" I only heard the myna laugh and say, although you have no freedom, you are not running around for a living, and you are not afraid of natural enemies. This is the day I want! The parrot sighed, "Ah, let's not talk about these, there is something strange outside, let's talk about it.

I saw that brother walking a few steps in front of the birdcage, flapping his wings twice in high spirits, and said to the parrot, Do you know Li Yuanwai in the south of the city? The parrot nodded and heard it. Brother Myna smiled and said, "You don't know, Li Yuanwai's new concubine is the former concubine of Xinhe, the shopkeeper of the cloth house, and few people know about it. After listening to this, the parrot asked the brother Myna. Do you know the grandmother of the tea shop at Hengjie Entrance? Brother Myna replied, How can I not know the matchmaker Sun who opened the tea shop. The parrot teased, she is just like you, and she doesn't have any serious words in her mouth, so she just picks up nonsense. Brother Myna took a few steps forward and said, "Then I'll tell you a serious thing. The parrot said, "Let's hear it.

I only heard from the myna, the county magistrate of the local county yamen also has a myna at home. I often talk to him, and it told me that the county magistrate has been sick for several days, and there are no office staff in the yamen. Asked the parrot, "It is not uncommon for mortals to encounter such things as sickness, but I have heard that the county magistrate is greedy and perverting the law, even if he dies of illness, he is not worthy of sympathy! I saw the myna pretending to be profound, you know , this county magistrate is fine now, he is pretending to be sick! The parrot asked curiously, why is he pretending to be sick? Brother Myna said again, "You don't know, this county magistrate has lost his official seal, it is a crime of beheading crime! At this time, he is like an ant in a hot pot, restless, trying to find a way to remedy it!

The parrot asked again, "How do you know?" Brother Myna said, I stood outside the window and looked at it for real, how could it be fake? The parrot flapped its wings and said happily, "Good!" Bad news is coming! Brother Myna sighed, still unknown? No one knows about this matter, until he finds a way to come back or find it, the matter will be settled, and now there is only a master who has pierced the window paper and sent a letter to the imperial court before it can be done! As soon as these words came out, Erniao seemed disappointed. After listening to that brother for a long time, he almost forgot that Brother Six made an appointment with me, went to the corner to get the insects, and went, and came back to visit me another day. After saying this, Erniao exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then separated.

After listening to the conversation, Young Master Zhang was also suspicious of the county magistrate's illness, but he couldn't believe the bird's words. During this period, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. When he thought that the bird knew good and evil, hated corrupt officials, and had a reputation, how could he watch from the sidelines, he wrote a lawsuit overnight, like the imperial court accusing the county magistrate of corruption and losing his official seal. If it didn't take long, the county magistrate was investigated and punished, imprisoned, and feared heavy punishment. Young Master Zhang sighed in his heart, The words of the bird are sincere! Then he let the parrot out of the cage. Return its freedom.
