What's the story of Wang Xizhi's extortion case?

Wang Xizhi's judgment on extortion case

When Wang Xizhi was a magistrate, he received a petition from a village that a squire used a small piece of wasteland to let him bury his father, stating that he only needed a pot of wine, but later insisted on a lake of wine. Wang Xizhi went to visit the squire's home. The squire heard his name and wanted Mo Bao, so he treated him warmly. Wang Xizhi wrote a biography of Le Yi for him. The squire was overjoyed and asked him what gift he would give in return. Wang Xizhi said, "It's just a live goose". Taigong immediately picked up a live goose and sent it to the mansion, but Wang Xizhi's face fell and said, "It was said to be a river goose at that time. Why did you only send one? " It turns out that the local dialect "live" and "river" are homophonic. The squire quickly argued, "My Lord, geese are counted by four, never by rivers!" " With a sneer, Wang Xizhi took out a complaint from a villager and said, "Since only geese are counted, can the wine be counted by the lake?" The squire was wrong and had to admit his mistake.

The invigilator found that cicadas came from the examinee's hat, so he opened his hat and saw several cicadas still chirping. Zhang Sheng admitted that when he left home this morning, his father put the cicada in his hat and said that the cicada could win the first prize on the head. Just now, the cicada made his head itch, so he scratched it a few times and the cicada called away. Hearing this, the invigilator was amused and angry, so he disqualified Zhang for violating discipline and wrote a poem: "The first place is not the first place, all because of my father's good reputation." Qiu Chan doesn't know his name. Superstition is a sign of losing his reputation. "
