初，滅金時，以監河橋萬戶劉福為河南道總管，福貪鄙殘酷，虐害遺民二十餘年。 When Jin was destroyed, Liu Fu, overseer of the river bridge, was made commander of Henan Circuit; greedy and cruel, he abused the surviving people for more than twenty years.

惟中至，召福聽約束，福稱疾不至，惟中設大梃於坐，復召之，使謂福曰：「汝不奉命，吾以軍法從事。」 When Weizhong arrived he summoned Fu to receive orders; Fu claimed illness and refused to come; Weizhong placed a heavy staff beside his seat and sent word: "If you disobey, I will deal with you by military law."

福不得已，以數千人擁衛見惟中，惟中即握大梃擊僕之。 Fu had no choice but to come with several thousand guards; Weizhong seized the staff and struck him down on the spot.

數日福死，河南大治。 Fu died within days, and Henan was brought to order.
