On the first day the government office opened its seal, Prefect Wen of Huayang County presided over two cases, one of which was the swine pestilence case of Taiping Town.

The swine pestilence case was caught in the act by the County Magistrate, with victims providing testimony, and evidence of the Lu family mixing bad meat with good and using silver to settle disputes over the past few years was also presented, leading to a collective accusation. With both testimonial and physical evidence available, the Lu family had no choice but to admit their guilt.
