嘗出按部民，有殺子以誣怨者，獄成，不花讞之，曰：「以十歲兒，受十一創，且彼以斧殺怨，必盡其力，何創痕之淺，反不入膚耶！」 Once, while touring the people under his jurisdiction, he encountered a case in which a man had killed his own son to frame an enemy. The case had already been decided. Buhua reviewed the judgment and said, "A ten-year-old boy bore eleven wounds. If the killer had used an axe on his enemy, he would surely have struck with full force. Why are the wounds so shallow that they barely pierce the flesh?"
