徐吏有路審中者，彥曾知其能，頗任之。 Among Yanzeng's staff was Lu Shenzhong, whom he recognized as capable and entrusted with important duties.

既遇害，賂守卒，斂藏其屍。 After Yanzeng was killed, Shenzhong bribed the guards and secretly recovered his body.

審中率死士應官軍，開南白門，官兵入，因得破勳。 Shenzhong led a suicide squad to aid the government forces, opened the south White Gate, let the troops in, and helped break Xun's rebellion.

鄭畋謂審中節貫神明，請擢為右羽林將軍，詔可。 Zheng Tian declared Shenzhong's integrity almost supernatural and recommended him as general of the Right Yulin Guard; the court approved.
