話說馬靜睜眼一看，見濟公僧帽罩著一個狐狸，有狗大小。濟公說：「你瞧，這就是你媳婦。」馬靜說：「師父，我妻子乃是狐狸？」濟公說：「你妻子不是狐狸。這個狐狸跟你有仇，它變的你妻子模樣，擾亂家務要害你。
话说马静睁眼一看，见济公僧帽罩着一个狐狸，有狗大小。济公说：「你瞧，这就是你媳妇。」马静说：「师父，我妻子乃是狐狸？」济公说：「你妻子不是狐狸。这个狐狸跟你有仇，它变的你妻子模样，扰乱家务要害你。
Now, Ma Jing opened his eyes and looked. Under Ji Gong’s monk’s cap was a fox, as big as a dog. “Look,” said Ji Gong. “This is your wife.” “Master,” said Ma Jing, “my wife is a fox?” “Your wife is not a fox,” said Ji Gong. “This fox has a grudge against you. It took on your wife’s likeness to throw your household into disorder and do you harm.
你媳婦現在家裡，她原本是好人，你不要聽了李平的話，先前李平瞧見的，就是妖精變的。你把李平找來，叫他瞧瞧，也可以洗出你的朋友。」馬靜聽罷，趕緊去到酒鋪把李平找來。李平來到廟中一看，是一個大狐狸，李平說：「這是什麼緣故？」馬靜就把從頭至尾的話，對李平一說，李平這才明白何氏嫂嫂是好人。和尚說：「馬靜，你把狐狸殺了。」馬靜拉出刀來，照狐狸一刀，和尚用手一指，狐狸腦袋掉下來。和尚說：「你找柴草點著，把狐狸同高慶的死屍一併燒了。」馬靜就找了柴草，連高慶的死屍並狐狸一併燒了。和尚說：「馬靜，你可把華雲龍放出來呀！還是我到你家裡去拿他？」馬靜說：「慈悲慈悲罷！可以看在我的面上，饒恕了他罷。」和尚說：「那可不行！華雲龍罪大惡極，你要不放出來，我到你家拿他，你得跟著打官司。」馬靜說：「我還是把他放出了，師父再拿他。」和尚說：「也好，你去罷。」

“Your wife is at home right now. She was a good woman all along. Don’t listen to what Li Ping told you: what Li Ping saw before was the demon in her shape. Go and fetch Li Ping and let him have a look, and your friend will come out of it clean as well.” When Ma Jing heard this, he hurried off to the wine shop and fetched Li Ping. Li Ping came to the temple and looked: it was a big fox. “What’s all this about?” said Li Ping. Ma Jing told him the whole story from beginning to end, and only then did Li Ping understand that his sister-in-law, Madam He, was a good woman. “Ma Jing,” said the monk, “kill the fox.” Ma Jing drew his blade and struck at the fox. The monk pointed a finger, and the fox’s head fell off. “Find some firewood and straw and set it alight,” said the monk, “and burn the fox together with Gao Qing’s body.” Ma Jing found firewood and straw and burned Gao Qing’s body and the fox together. “Ma Jing,” said the monk, “are you going to let Hua Yunlong out? Or shall I go to your house and arrest him?” “Have mercy, have mercy!” said Ma Jing. “For my sake, forgive him.” “That won’t do!” said the monk. “Hua Yunlong’s crimes are monstrous and his wickedness has no bounds. If you don’t let him out and I go to your house to arrest him, you’ll be dragged into the lawsuit too.” “Then I’d better let him out,” said Ma Jing, “and you can catch him after that, Master.” “Very well,” said the monk. “Off you go.”
馬靜謝過了濟公，自己這才回到家中一看，果然他妻子回娘家去剛才回來。

Ma Jing thanked Ji Gong and only then went home to see. Sure enough, his wife had gone to her mother’s and had just this moment come back.
