仲義弟馬兒走報劉氏，劉氏遽往救之，涕泣伏地，告於兵曰：「所執者是吾夫也，乞矜憐之，貸其生，吾家有醬一甕、米一斗五升，窖於地中，可掘取之，以代吾夫。」 Zhongyi's younger brother Ma'er ran to tell Lady Liu. She rushed at once to save him, weeping as she fell prostrate before the soldiers. "The man you have seized is my husband," she pleaded. "Have mercy and spare his life. We have a jar of sauce and one dou and five sheng of rice buried in the ground. Dig them up and take them instead of my husband."
