漢江冤獄 A Case of Injustice in Hanjiang
漢江冤獄
曹震亭知漢江縣，晚衙夜坐，見無頭人手提一頭，啾啾有聲，語不甚了。曹大駭，遂病，病三日，死矣。家人欲殮，胸前尚溫，過夜而蘇，曰：被隸人引至陰府，見峨冠南面者，衣本朝服色，轅外人傳呼：「漢江縣知縣曹學詩進。」曹行陽間屬吏禮，向上三揖。神賜坐，問：「有人訴公，公知否？」曰：「不知。」神取几上牒詞示曹。曹閱之，本縣案卷也，起立曰：「此案本屬有冤，為前令所定，已經達部，我申詳三次，請再加審訊，為院所駁，駁牌現存。」神曰：「然則公固無罪也。」傳呼冤鬼某進，陰風颯然，不見面目手足，但見血塊一團叫跳呼號，滾風而至。神告以曹為申救之故，且曰：「汝冤終當昭雪，須另覓仇人。」鬼伏地不肯去。神拱手向曹作送狀，手揮隸人云：「速送速送。」曹猛然驚醒，不覺汗之沾衣也。自此辭官歸家，長齋奉佛夢終其身。
