Once, Liu Yong made a private inspection trip in plain clothes outside Beijing. On the way, his sedan chair was blocked by a whirlwind, which forced him to choose another route.

Therefore he followed the whirlwind to a new grave, where he saw a lady crying at her dead husband. The whirlwind lifted the edge of the lady's mourning dress, only to find another dressing in red. It was found that the lady was called Huang Aiyu. She committed adultery with a Military Graduate surnamed Li and murdered her husband. In the end, Li Yong prosecuted the adulterer and the adulteress, and therefore redressed the injustice on the husband.
