會來俊臣構狄仁傑、李嗣真、裴宣禮等獄，將抵死，敕嶠與大理少卿張德裕、侍御史劉憲覆驗，德裕等內知其冤，不敢異。 When Lai Junchen framed Di Renjie, Li Sizhen, Pei Xuanli, and others in capital cases nearing execution, an edict sent Qiao, Vice Director Zhang Deyu of the Court of Judicial Review, and Investigating Censor Liu Xian to review the verdicts. Zhang and Liu knew the men were innocent but dared not disagree.
