Qixing Street and Emperor Qianlong
According to legend, when Qianlong visited Zhenjiang City in the south, he went incognito one day. I met a beautiful young woman in cloth in the street at night, and when she came forward to flirt, she was hit with a big mouth. In order not to reveal his identity, Gan Long had to eat Rhizoma Coptidis at the pass. Back to the residence, furious, ordered the arrest. But he didn't know the name of Zhinv, only remembered that there was a seven-star stone on the ground in front of her house.
Zhang Yushu, the accompanying minister, knew the news and rushed to the street overnight. He called all the villagers and laid the seven-star stone at every door before dawn. The next day, the soldiers came to arrest people. I didn't know which one to arrest, so I had to go back and report, and the matter was finally dropped. In order to cover up his misdeeds, Qianlong didn't say that he was beaten for molesting folk women, only that he met a "shrew and unruly".
