Prime Minister Choi Yun-tok was in mourning once for his mother. With
a single horse and one servant he made a journey to the south where
the road led through the county of Kai-ryong. At that very time two
or three of the district magistrates had pitched a tent on the bank
of the river and were having refreshments. They said to one another,
"Who is that mourner that goes riding by without dismounting? It must
be some country farmer who has never learned proper manners. We shall
certainly have to teach him a lesson."
They sent an attendant to arrest and bring his servant, whom they
asked, "Who is your master?"
