　　成语发音： tóu shí wèn lù
　　成语释疑： 原指夜间潜入某处前，先投以石子，看看有无反应，借以探测情况。后用以比喻进行试探。
　　投石问路有两种说法:
　　1.出自施公案（第二九二回）
　　原文：
　　施公道:“已着施安去看守了。”褚标不胜惊讶道：“大人中了那人投石问路的计了。”
　　2.民间传说，有一个走江湖的相士，一日，忽蒙县官召见。见面时县官对他说：“坐在身旁的三人当中，一位是我的夫人，其余是她的婢女。你若能指认哪一位是夫人，就可免你无罪。否则，你再在本县摆相命摊，我必将“妖言惑众”惩处你！”
　　相士将衣饰发型一致、年龄相仿同样面无表情的三位女子打量一眼，就对县官说：“这么简单的事，我徒弟都办得到！”他的徒弟应师父之命，将三位并排端坐的女孩子从左往右看，从右往左看，看了半天，仍然一头雾水。他满脸迷惘地对相士说：“师父你没有教过我啊？”
　　相士一巴掌拍在徒弟的脑袋上，同是，顺手一指其中一位女子说：“这位就是妇人！”
　　在场之人全部傻住了，没错，这人还真会看相。
　　事实是：相士一巴掌拍在徒弟脑袋上时，师徒二人的模样颇为滑稽。少见世面的两个丫环忍不住掩口而笑。那位依然端坐，面无表情的女子当然是见过世面又有教养的妇人啦。
　　示例 《新民晚报》1989.1.5：“安徽科技出版社投石问路，去年秋冬该社出版了一本《人体摄影》画册，意外地一炮打响。”
