霍丘民範受之者，贅於顧氏，與妻反目，外出久不歸。 A Huoqiu man named Fan Shouzhi had married into the Gu family as a son-in-law. He and his wife quarreled, and he left home for a long time without returning.

縣令誤聽訛言，謂其妻私於鄰楊三，鍛鍊成獄，當顧氏、楊三謀殺罪，其母與弟及傭工某加功，實無左證，五人者不勝刑，皆誣服。 The county magistrate believed false rumors that Fan's wife had been intimate with a neighbor named Yang San. The case was tortured into shape, and the Gu woman, Yang San, her mother, her brother, and a hired laborer were all convicted of plotting Fan's murder as accomplices. There was in fact no corroborating evidence, but the five could not endure the torture and all confessed falsely.
