第一回胡秀才告狀鳴冤　施賢臣得夢訪案

　　話說江都縣有一秀才，姓胡，名登舉。他的父母為人所殺，頭顱不見。胡登舉合家嚇得膽裂魂飛，慌忙出門，去稟縣主。

　　跑到縣衙，正遇升堂，就進去喊冤。走至堂上，打了一躬，手舉呈詞，口稱：「父師在上，門生禍從天降。叩稟老父師，即賜嚴拿。」說著，將呈詞遞上。書吏接過，鋪在公案。施公靜心細閱。上寫：具呈生員胡登舉，祖居江都縣。生父曾作翰林，告老家居，廣行善事，憐恤窮苦，並無苛刻待人之事。不意於某日夜間，生父母閉戶安眠。至天曉，生往請安，父母俱不言語。生情急，踢開門戶，見父母屍身俱在牀上，兩個人頭，並沒蹤影。生忝居學校，父母如此死法，何以身列校庠對雙親而無愧乎？為此具呈，嚎叩老父師大人恩准，速賜拿獲兇手，庶生冤仇得雪。感戴無既。沾仁。上呈。
