According to legend, during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, a priceless luminous pearl was stolen from Emperor Qianlong's imperial case. Qianlong was very angry. He conducted overt and covert investigations in the palace for a long time but could not find out the whereabouts of Ye Mingzhu. Qianlong sent He Shen to find a fortune teller to calculate the fortune. After Heshen left the palace, he led his people to look for the incompetent fortune teller. They found a fortune teller whose nickname was Huang Frog in a villa far away from the capital. As soon as Heshen told him his purpose, the yellow frog kept saying that he was not good at telling fortunes. Heshen was looking for such a person, so how could he easily let him go if he met one now? So he hurriedly ordered the yellow frog to go to Beijing immediately to calculate the night pearl. Although this yellow frog was blind, he was extremely smart. He thought to himself: The emperor's luminous pearl disappeared. It must be the trick of the emperor's trusted ministers. He went into the palace to calculate the luminous pearl for the emperor. Maybe it would never come back, so He claims to be a bad fortune teller. Unexpectedly, He Shen just fell in love with him. This is really a case of fear of evil! Now he has no choice but to risk his own life.

As he walked, he suddenly remembered something: in the morning, his wife's waist hurt so much that she couldn't straighten her legs, and she kept screaming. On weekdays, when my wife's back hurts, it rains. My wife's back pain is so severe today, it will definitely rain heavily. So, he said to He Shen: "I have to go home and get something before I can follow you to Beijing." He Shen ordered two followers to follow him. Not long after, the yellow frog came back. He was wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat under the sun on a sunny day. He Shen and his entourage laughed at him and said, "You blind man is so stupid. Why are you bringing these rain gear to pray for rain?" The yellow frog ignored Nian Gengyao's death and just went on his way. After a while, dark clouds suddenly rolled in the sky, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and the world seemed to be overturned. Then, heavy rain poured down, soaking Heshen and his party. After He Shen returned home, he was shocked when he thought about it: This blind man said that he was not good at telling fortunes, so how did he know that it was going to rain? He can predict the future! In this way, if I meet the Holy Emperor tomorrow and he figures out that I stole the Night Pearl, he will be in big trouble! How to do it? He Shen wanted to kill someone and then find a scapegoat in the capital, but he ran out of time. How could he find a suitable candidate to replace the blind man overnight? Besides, all the fortune tellers in the capital are good at telling fortunes. If you catch another fortune teller, it will still be a miraculous prediction, and your efforts will be in vain, and the news will inevitably leak… The more He Shen thought about it, the more he became afraid. To solve this problem, it seems that we have to work hard on Huang Xiazi! So he sent someone to find the yellow frog late at night, and said to him in a coaxing and frightening manner: "Tomorrow, only false calculations will be allowed in the Jinluan Palace. If the calculations are correct, you will lose your head!"

When Huang Frog heard what Heshen said, all the sorrow in his heart disappeared. He knew that the night pearl must be related to Heshen. The yellow frog remained calm and said, "Sir, if you don't tell the truth tomorrow, the emperor will definitely hold me accountable when he sees that I can't calculate. There are many divine fortune tellers in the capital, and the emperor will definitely issue an order to find another one. Then the truth will be revealed. If Nian Gengyao dies , the person who stole the pearl will inevitably be punished by the Nine Tribes of Lian." When Huang Frog said this, He Shen was already sweating out of fright, and asked hurriedly: "So, what do you think about the Night Pearl? Do you know?" Huang Frog said: "Sir, then I will not tell lies in front of real people. I can hide the night pearl from others, but I can't hide it from you and me." He Shen heard what Huang Frog said and hurriedly stood up from his chair. He got up, ran to the yellow frog and said, "Please God, please come up with a clever plan to save me. I really took this night pearl out of confusion." Although the yellow frog usually doesn't care about worldly affairs, he often hears people talk about He Shen's actions. I originally intended to tease him, but now I couldn't bear it when I saw the usually dignified and dignified court minister begging for mercy in front of me. He said, as long as you take out the Night Pearl, I will guarantee that you will be safe and sound in the Jinluan Hall tomorrow. After a pause, he added: However, you must follow my arrangements. He Shen pricked up his ears and listened to the yellow frog's instructions…
In the early morning of the next day, after all the civil and military officials had paid their respects, Qianlong summoned the god to the palace. Qianlong said to Huang Frog: "The luminous pearl on my imperial desk suddenly disappeared. I am here to ask you to figure out who is so bold as to steal the luminous pearl?"

The yellow frog said: "Please tell me an hour and I will do the math." So Qianlong gave an hour to the yellow frog. The yellow frog twirled his fingers and pretended to do the math in the Jinluan Palace, and then reported back to the emperor: "Long live, don't worry. , this night pearl is still in the palace." When Qianlong heard this, he was overjoyed and asked hurriedly: "Where is it in the palace?" The yellow frog said: "This night pearl is near the fragrance, and it is under a tree. If there is an osmanthus tree, Just pay more attention!" Qianlong then ordered the eunuchs to look for it, and within an hour, they found it under an osmanthus tree in the imperial garden. Even though Qianlong was happy, he still didn't forget to ask Huang Frog: "How did the night pearl on my imperial desk end up in the imperial garden?" When Qianlong asked, Huang Frog secretly complained, but after all, he was a fortune teller and was good at playing both sides. After a pause, he forced himself to calm down and said to Qianlong: "This night pearl is a rare treasure, surrounded by auspiciousness invisible to human eyes. This auspiciousness can make the treasure enter the earth and the sky, and it will swim when no one is around. Especially after midnight, it is easier to move. It is not surprising that it ran to the imperial garden." Qianlong saw that he was so impressive that he stopped asking questions, but left him in the palace.

Although Huang Frog found Emperor Qianlong's luminous pearl, Qianlong still didn't believe in his magical plan, thinking that there must be something else in it. So, he made up his mind to test the yellow frog himself. Once, Qianlong passed by the Imperial Garden in the morning and picked a date from the date tree and held it in his hand. He called for the Yellow Frog, and asked the Yellow Frog in the Jinluan Palace: "Do you know what I am holding in my hand?" The Yellow Frog was blind, so how could he know what Qianlong was holding? Could he be using the Night Pearl to coax me again? ? So, he replied in a panic: "Long live early in the morning…" When Qianlong heard about early in the morning (green dates) in the Jinluan Palace, he hurriedly stretched out his five fingers and said: "That's right, that's right, Huang Aiqing is really my great master of the Qing Dynasty!" The yellow frog hurriedly swallowed the second half of the unfinished sentence, wiped the sweat from his head, and said to himself, "It's so dangerous. Fortunately, you speak slower, otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous!"
From then on, Qianlong valued Huang Frog very much, kept him by his side, and wanted to grant him an official position and salary. The yellow frog was not only unhappy, but also worried and sighing all day long. He knew in his heart that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. If the emperor saw the flaw over time and found out the truth about the theft of the Night Pearl, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor! So he asked Qianlong to return home every day. Qianlong saw that he could not keep the yellow frog, so he wanted to give him a gift to let him go. In the morning of this day, Qianlong asked Huang Frog: "Huang Aiqing, you have been asking me to allow you to go home for several days. Today, you can calculate what is in the box in my hand. If the calculation is correct, I will reward you with this item." You are also allowed to go home. If you can't figure it out, you will be punished for the crime of deceiving the emperor!" Of course, Qianlong was just talking and would not take it seriously. But after hearing this, Huang Frog was frightened and thought, now It’s over! So he sighed: "Yellow frog, yellow frog, you died in the box in Banzai's hands!" But all the civil and military officials in the court seemed to hear the yellow frog saying: "Golden frog, golden frog, you died in the box in Banzai's hands!" Inside." Then they all stared at the box in Qianlong's hand. When Qianlong opened the lid of the box, everyone in the court was shocked: The box held by Long Live was indeed a golden frog! So Huang Blind Man took the golden frog and went home happily.
