The gatekeeper was so afraid that he forgot his taboo and said, "The drunken Hu rode in on a horse", which should not be explained.

There is another matter, because Shile army Fan Tan poor, appointed Tan Zhangwu history, can have more salary. And Tan to the left, clothes are very tattered. Shiller saw a big surprise and asked why the poor so far? Without thinking, Fan Tan answered bluntly, "You have been a Capricorn, and you have lost all your wealth." When Shiller heard this, he still smiled and said, "Is the Capricorn a violent predator? Let me pay you back. "Fan Tan realized that he had committed a taboo and quickly kowtowed and wept." Shiller said,"Solitary law to protect against vulgarians, not your generation of old scholars also. Not only did he not punish Fan Tan, but he also paid him three million yuan for his carriage and clothing.
