Works and attributed material

  • Distributions must be made only by calling out each recipient's name, with no inflated numbers on the rolls. 必唱名给散,无虚增之数。

  • The boy killed his companion by accident and had no intent to kill; he cannot properly be convicted of murder. 小兒误杀同牧者,实无杀人意,难以定罪。
    Speech · Speaker · Direct quotation
  • The killer has escaped and we do not even know whether he is alive or dead. These people are all innocent victims of mistaken implication—why should they be shackled? 杀人者既逃,存亡不可知,此辈皆诖误无罪,而反桎梏耶?
    Speech · Speaker · Direct quotation
  • Under the law of the realm, criminals aged seventy are spared punishment because their vital force has waned and they can no longer endure it. Yet this woman was strong enough to kill two people—how can she be called decrepit? 国制,罪人七十免刑,为其血气已衰,不任刑也。媪既能杀二人,何谓衰老?
    Speech · Speaker · Direct quotation
  • Under the law of the realm, seals exist to authenticate official documents and prevent fraud—why use one to seal a private letter? Moreover, when you left your country I was still in the capital and was not yet an official in Liaoyang—why should you now have a letter for me? Why are your sovereign and ministers so deceitful? 国制,设印以署公牍、防奸伪,何为封私书?况汝出国时,我尚在京,未为辽阳省官,今何故有书遗我?汝君臣何欺诈如是耶?
