3.94

[The Master] cited: Minister Chen Cao and other officials saw from a tower several monks coming from afar. An official said, "A few Chan guests." Chen said, "They are not." The official said, "How do you know they are not?" Chen said, "Wait until I test them." When the monks reached the base of the tower, Chen said, "Great Virtues!" The monks raised their heads. Chen said, "Didn't I say they are not?" The officials were at a loss. The Master said, "Minister Chen stole openly in broad daylight, but he cannot deceive Changlu in the slightest."
