Li Shiheng of the Northern Song Dynasty sent an envoy to Koryo, and the King of Koryo presented a lot of fine silk.
Li Shiheng left the things to the deputy envoy to take care of.
when he returned home, the deputy envoy played a trick and put Li Shiheng's silk cushion under the cabin against water and put his own silk on top.
unexpectedly, when there was a storm on the road, the sailors threw out most of the cargo in the cabin in order to prevent the ship from sinking.
after the storm stopped, people found that all the things thrown away were the deputy envoys, and Li Shiheng's things were still in the cabin.
