Wang Qiao was the magistrate of Ye County during the reign of Emperor Ming of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He was highly praised by the local people for his clean and honest administration.

When Wang Qiao was in office, he would go to Luoyang Shangshutai in the capital to report on his work on the fifteenth day of every month.

After Wang Qiao attracted other people's attention, people discovered that every time Wang Qiao came to the capital, he always came and returned on the same day, and he neither took a car nor a horse, and he never followed him. Come with him. After Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty found out, he ordered Taishi to investigate. So Taishi went to the door to wait on the day Wang Qiao entered the capital. After a while, Wang Qiao came to the door without anyone noticing. Taishi looked around and found nothing unusual, only two wild ducks rising into the sky and flying out of the city. Taishi thought: "Did Wang Qiao come riding on these wild ducks? It's really strange."

After Taishi reported the situation to Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty asked him to Be prepared. If you see a wild duck next time Wang Qiao comes, try to catch it. In this way, on the fifteenth day of next month, Taishi made careful arrangements, prepared several large nets, and personally led his men to conduct close surveillance.

Somehow, before Taishi and those watching could see clearly, Wang Qiao had already arrived at the door of Shangshutai. They hurriedly searched around, and sure enough they saw two wild ducks flying up from the ground. Taishi gave an order, and everyone set up a net to catch ducks. The slow-flying wild duck was caught. But when they opened their eyes, they saw that the wild duck turned into a shoe.

Taishi went to report to Emperor Ming. Emperor Ming happily said:

"Then he must be an unusual person. Get rid of him quickly." He was transferred to Beijing!"

But it was too late. Because Wang Qiao leaked the secret of flying, the Emperor called him back. But in the eyes of the people, Wang Qiao died suddenly. Therefore, the people of Ye County built a temple for Wang Qiao and named it "Yejun Temple".

"Wang Qiao Fu Xi" is actually a mythical story. Later, the allusion "Wang Qiao Fu Xi" was used to describe the local officials' footsteps, and was also used to refer to wild ducks or shoes.
