孫五粒，有僮僕獨宿一室，恍惚被人攝去。至一宮殿，見閻羅在上，視之曰：「悞矣，此非是。」因遣送還。既歸，大懼，移宿他所；遂有僚僕郭安者，見榻空閒，因就寢焉。又一僕李祿，與僮有夙怨，久將甘心，是夜操刀入，捫之，以為僮也，竟殺之。郭父鳴於官。時陳其善為邑宰，殊不苦之。郭哀號，言：「半生止此子，今將何以聊生！」陳即以李祿為之子。郭含冤而退。此不奇於僮之見鬼，而奇於陳之折獄也。
孫五粒有個小僕人，獨自睡在一間屋裡，恍惚間被人拘走，帶到一座宮殿。見閻羅坐在上面，看了他說：「弄錯了，不是這個人。」便讓人送他回來。他回來後十分害怕，換到別處睡覺。同在這家做僕人的郭安，見那張床空著，就睡了上去。另有一個僕人李祿，和那小僕人早有仇怨，長久以來一直想報仇。這天夜裡，他拿刀進屋，伸手摸到睡著的人，以為就是那小僕人，竟把他殺了。郭安的父親到官府告狀。當時陳其善任縣令，竟不怎麼為難兇手。郭安的父親哭喊著說：「我過了半輩子，只有這一個兒子，如今還靠什麼活下去！」陳其善便把李祿判給他做兒子。郭安的父親含著冤屈退了出去。這件事，奇怪的不是小僕人見鬼，而是陳其善這樣斷案。

Sun Wuli had a page-boy who slept alone in a room. One night, half-dreaming, he was carried off by someone. He came to a palace and saw Yama seated on high. Yama looked at him and said, “A mistake. This is not the one.” He had the boy sent back. Once home, the boy was terrified and moved to sleep somewhere else. A fellow servant named Guo An saw the bed standing empty and lay down in it. Another servant, Li Lu, had an old grudge against the page-boy and had long been waiting to settle it. That night he came in with a knife, felt for the sleeper, took him for the page-boy, and killed him. Guo An’s father brought a complaint to the authorities. Chen Qishan was then magistrate of my county, and he was not at all hard on the killer. Guo wailed and cried, “Half my life gone, and this was my only son! How am I to live now?” So Chen gave him Li Lu to be his son. Guo swallowed the wrong and withdrew. What is strange here is not that the page-boy saw ghosts. What is strange is the way Chen judged the case.
