传说宋朝秦桧在他家东窗下定计杀害了岳飞,地藏王(神名)化为一个行者到人间作证说东窗事犯了,秦桧不久就死了(见于元孔文卿《地藏王证东窗事犯杂剧》)。明田汝成《西湖游览志余》卷四里说,秦桧死后他老婆请方士做法事,方士看见秦桧在阴间身带铁枷受苦,秦桧对他说:
- ‘可烦传语夫人,东窗事发矣。’后来用‘东窗事发’指罪行、阴谋败露。 {disclosure of a crime or plot; plot has come to light; secret is out. It is said that in the Song Dynasty, Qin Hui plotted and murdered Yue Fei by the east window in his home, and Ksitigarbha (Overlord of Hell) disguised himself as a monk to bear witness to the east-window plot in the human world, and before long Qin Hui died (Supreme Ruler of Hell Testifying on the East-Window Plot by Kong Wenqing of the Yuan Dynasty). According to Volume 4 of Notes on Touring the West Lake by Tian Rucheng of the Ming Dynasty, after Qin Hui's death, his wife asked a necromancer to hold a religious ceremony for Qin Hui. The necromancer saw Qin bearing an iron cangue and being tortured in Hell, and heard Qin Hui tell him:
‘Please tell my wife that the east-window plot has been exposed.’ Hence the term, referring to the exposure of a crime or plot.}也说 also: 东窗事犯 {dōng chuāng shì fàn}。
