When Si Zheng, the Shaanxi regional military commissioner, was a young man, he organized many young men of ill repute into a “righteous brother-hood.” If one member was attacked, they would combine forces and take revenge. Zheng had beaten to death a man at a singing loft in the provincial capital.1 The owner was powerless to apprehend him, and Zheng escaped. They seized a certain Mr. Liu, who associated with Zheng, and took him to the officials to investigate Zheng’s whereabouts. Liu said, “Actually it was me who killed him. It was not Zheng.” Many people verified that the murderer was Zheng, and Liu grew increasingly insistent in his admission of guilt. The judi-cial authorities could not change his mind and then condemned him to death. Later, he obtained a reduced sentence and was sent to serve in the army at the Sanwan Garrison in Liaodong [Liaoning]. Zheng regarded him as virtuous and every year sent funds to his military unit.At the time, Zheng had an old mother, and so Liu falsely confessed and took his place. The knights-errant of ancient times could not surpass him. Muslim teachings are different from those in China. When they see Chinese set up vegetarian feasts and conduct jiao offerings, they laugh at them.4When they give birth to a child, they first put cooked mutton fat in the mouth. They do not let the child spit it out or swallow it. After the fat is fully dissolved, then they breastfeed the child. Then the child will be strong and have no illnesses.
