解姊子負解之勢，與人飲，使之釂，非其任，強灌之。 Guo Xie's nephew traded on his name, forced a drinking partner to empty his cup, and when the man faltered, held him down and poured liquor down his throat.

人怒，刺殺解姊子，亡去。 The guest lost his temper, stabbed the nephew to death, and vanished.

解姊怒曰：「以翁伯時人殺吾子，賊不得！」 Guo Xie's sister raged, "When you still answered to the name Wengbo, no killer of my boy would have lived an hour!"

解曰：「公殺之當，吾兒不直。」 Guo Xie said, "You were right to kill him; my nephew was in the wrong."

遂去其賊，罪其姊子，收而葬之。 He dismissed the killer, blamed his nephew for the fight, and gave the body a decent burial.
