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.

Ji Xiaolan is very alert. He heard that Wang Shen was insulting himself with homophonic words, and immediately replied calmly: "The tail is a wolf, and the vertical (Shangshu) is a dog." Wang Shen, who wanted to please Wang Shen, also heard the cleverness, but deliberately replied, "I know both wolves and dogs."

3. In the late Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty, a scholar from a county took an exam, and suddenly there was a cicada singing in the quiet examination room. 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. "
There was a joke in ancient times that a person who donated money to find a job went to see his boss. The boss asked, "How is your local culture?" The donation class replied: "There is no strong wind and less dust." Q: "What about the people?" Answer: "There are only two white apricots, but there are quite a few red apricots."
Donate a class to answer irrelevant questions. The boss got angry and shouted, "Bastard, I asked Li Shu." The classroom donors trembled with fear and quickly replied, "There are many pear trees, but few fruits." The boss patted the table with a smile and shouted, "I didn't ask pears and apricots, I asked Wang!" " "
Donate classes and quickly stand up and say, "My humble nickname is dog." The boss was so ridiculous that he shook his head again and again: "Dog, dog, you are really a dog!" " "
It is said that there is a guest staying in the inn, and one hundred and twenty pieces of silver are missing. He lives in a single room, and according to various indications, it is certain that the shopkeeper stole it. So he went to the county government to complain, but the shopkeeper refused to admit it.
The county magistrate of this county is very clever. He thought for a while, quietly asked the shopkeeper to reach out and write a word "win" on his palm with a pen, saying, "Go down the steps and bask in the sun. If the word is still there for a long time, you will win the lawsuit. "
Then, the county magistrate asked someone to bring the proprietress here. The proprietress was puzzled when she saw her husband reaching out and sunbathing under the steps. The county magistrate said to the proprietress, "Your husband has admitted stealing money and asked your teacher to hand it over." Hearing this, the proprietress hesitated and dared not ask her husband.
Just then, the county magistrate suddenly shouted to the boss under the steps, "What's that in your hand? Win? Is the word still there? " The boss repeatedly replied: "Yes! Yes! " Because the word "win" is close to the word "silver", the guilty proprietress didn't hear it clearly. She thought that her husband really admitted that the "silver" was still there and had to hand over the guest's hundred taels of silver.
